"Paulo! 'Nak halika na malelate na tayo sa graduation mo!" Sigaw ni Mama
Dali-dali naman akong bumaba mula sa kwarto at kinuha ko ang cellphone ko. Today is the mark of my college graduation day! Hell days no more!
I'll graduate with flying colors in Bachelor of Arts in English degree from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. I will make everyone proud of me..
When we got inside the taxi car, kaagad pinaandar 'yon ni Kuyang driver.
We arrived at school grounds 30 minutes before the program started. Unang humiwalay saakin ang mga kapatid ko at si Mama. Naka-assign kasi sila na umupo sa gilid kung saan may mga monoblocks rin na nakalagay.
When the program started, It was the last batch of Accountancy students whom graduating too. Kahapon pa sila dapat ggraduate ang kaso nagkulang sa oras dahil marami ang mga accounting students sa PUP. Some of them are alone or with one parent na kasama
"Last but not the least! Our Summa Cum Laude for the batch 2013-2014. CHARLTON, Elleri Claire Topaz. With an gpa of 1.2000!(equivalent to 97-100% of grade) Along with Academic Excellence in Science and Mathematics Award." I looked in front of me when I heard that familiar name
Charlton? Wait? Isn't that the girl who added me? And have a chit-chatted with me before going to school?
A girl with fair skin, blue eyes and a medium shoulder hair length marched with no parents ang umakyat. When the time she received her diploma and 2 gold medals, she smiled at the crowd. Everyone in the school grounds started to cheer her up.
But she just smiled away her tears like nothing happened. Kinuha niya ang microphone na nasa harap at nagsimula nang magsalita.
"Greetings to all the parents, guardians, school administrators, proffessors, students and guests. I am Elleri Claire Charlton from BSA - D2, I would like to thank all of you for coming here today." She spoke
"I want to share my journey in PUP with all of you, This wont take much time. Just a sypnosis of my life." She added then chuckled.
I focused on her speech and a few minutes later, kami na ang pinaline-up sa gilid ng stage. We'll march alongside by our parents.
I saw my mom cry when its my turn to march with her. I laughed a bit and handed her my handkerchief
"Nase, John Paulo Bagnas." I smiled when the principal handed over my diploma and golden medal with my name on it at the back! Finally!
Tears slowly streamed on my Mom's cheeks. I caressed her back saying 'you got this Ma' and smiled in front of the camera na nasa baba lang ng stage.
After the graduation we went back home to celebrate! It was simple since yun ang gusto ko. We just ate, sang in the karaoke and slept.
Kinabukasan paggising ko it was surreal! I am not going to school everyday, instead I will go to work. No more school projects, no more flag ceremonies, no more school related. And that's a quite relief!
My phone rang so I checked my notifs. It's her again! Suddenly, I don't know why I am replying to her silly messages. She kept bugging me with her funny kwentos and all this time, she's a conyo girl.
"Kuya Pau! Kakain na raw po!" Tawag saakin ni Alex, my sister. I left my phone in silence before leaving the bedroom
"Okay! Bababa na ako in a few minutes!" I said handling my toothbrush and getting ready for work.
Saturday Mornings are not always a disaster. But mine didn't went well, since we have a rude caller earlier. She's been so furios about something I couldn't tell.
I want to give up this job, but I knew I cannot because of my responsibility as a bread winner
I am working on a call-center agent for about 2 years already. Since, kuya Kevin got himself a own family, I took all the burden and responsibilities since I am the second born in our big family
I've been helping Mama and Dad to our living now. Nagpapaaral rin ako ng dalawa pang kapatid, Alexandra and Denise. They're both in elementary school.
My days this past few days are tough but thank God, nakayanan ko ang hirap. Ain't easy. Everythings ain't easy for me.
"Hit me up anytime! Thanks, Brittany!" I said to my colleague. She's kinda flirting with me. Everyone in the office knew that she has a big crush on me.
At first, hindi ko 'yon pinansin. But as the day pass by, she kept on following me, and it crept me even now.
When things finally settled, I talk about it with Brittany. I felt unsecure with the seconds I was with her knowing she's following me around in a entire minute.
Pass 7 when I got home, kaagad akong pumunta sa kwarto ko para magpalit ng damit.
"Paulo, anak! Kumain ka na muna!" It was Mama, knocking on my door
I opened the door to say hi and greet her
"Opo Mama, bababa na po ako in any minute," tanging naging tugon ko. Kita ko naman ang pagngiti niya at pagtango
Pagkatapos kong magdinner ay nagstay muna ako sa sala ng kaunting minuto pa para makausap ang mga kapatid kong babae.
I am glad to know that they're doing good on there studies,
12 am na at hindi ako makatulog. Kanina ko pa gustong matulog kaso hindi ako dinadalaw ng antok. Naisipan ko naman na pumunta sa pinakamalapit na store at doon muna tumambay
I heared a humming sound paglabas palang sa gate namin. The hummer was a bit auto-tuned, laughed in my mind at that thought. Hahahaha
Not minding a presense on my front, I turned around and opened our front gate again to go in bed. Sudden change of mind huh
Bukas nalang ako gagala after ng mass, tutal sunday naman..
