I've been gone for SO LONG that I missed another milestone of my life worth writing. What have I been doing in the past 3 months of supposedly going through this big transition phase from school world to the real world? Well let me give you a glimpse, since a blow by blow account won't really do at this point. Here are the highlights of my summer 2010/coming of age/most eventful summer out of school of my life in still photos with scribbles and captions to give you a taste of that specific moment. :)
1. My GRADUATION
The final graduation of of my whole schooling life was rather painful because of the wrong choice of black heels that I bought. I totally had the wrong hairdo made too because no-bangs made my face extra plump with my purple tube dress. Nevertheless, it was as memorable as it should be. The videos, the messages, the oath of loyalty, even the dragging diploma rites for 1000+ students for our batch had us hanging on to our seats until the last minute. And then it was time for us to throw the dummy diplomas up in the air and cross aisles of seats just to give hugs and kisses, and to get pictures taken. The night concluded with my parents and I (no brother, strict OJT schedule) having dinner at Serendra - with some overpriced steak meal and pasta (I won't say where).
That's where I got the FAB news: Dean Ang was giving away MVP's free concert tickets to Justin Timberlake and Timbaland's at the SMX Convention. Of course Sam, Raymond and I being the best pals of the Dean, received the VIP invites via text, and were keen on first dibs so we texted right away and agreed to meet the next day.
2. The CONCERT

It was really awesome. Although the VIP 'moshpit' that we were at was really FAR from the stage already, and forgetful me forgot to bring my glasses, it was one groovy experience that really capped off the graduation vibe. Teeeseees ze life bebe :)
The next shot was taken by Ojie (who, after the concert, rushed to celebrate post-grad inuman with me and my friends since he wasn't there on grad day) at Lanna's house for her grad celebration, wee hours in the morning. Heehee.
3. The BIRTHDAY
Alongside juggling McCann sessions for Brandstorm and Brandstorm meetings after graduation, was the rather stressful decision on whether I should throw a party for my 21st or not. REALLY NOW. I don't really celebrate my birthday extravagantly. As a matter of fact, I hide from people and choose a select few to celebrate with. For 20 years I never really threw a party except for my 18th so I thought that in the midst of stress and all the festivities, I should have a peaceful dinner, an impromptu one. So I had Ojie help invite and gather up his friends for a joint dinner/inuman salubong night with the best barkada for me and mind you, even the bill was worth it. Outrageously though, I turned into a crying maniac come midnight (because I got SO DRUNK with that overpriced mixed drink fishbowl) so I had to be hushed and taken care of by everyone. I felt so OLD but hey I'm lawfully legal everywhere baby. :) Birthday day was celebrated with pizza and movie all with the best boyfriend in the world. <3
