Graduation.
When sky turns grey and you just can't find the exact words to say, where you feel like you're the saddest human in the planet and thought of ending it up. All you have to do is to close your eyes and begin to pray.
"From the Bachelor of Science in Aviation Technology Major in Flying."
Abot langit ang kaba ko habang nasa ceremony kami para sa graduation ko.
My entire family is here.
Si papalo, si Lola, si Mommy, si Daddy, mga kapatid ko pati si Rebecca at si tita Dana.
"Captain Sabroso, Dale Eros C."
Mas lalo akong kinakabahan dahil alam ko na ako na ang susunod na tatawagin para tumanggap ng diplomat.
"Captain Santiago, Penelope Ellaine L."
Mixed emotion ang naramdaman ko habang paakyat ako sa stage wearing my type A uniform.
Our success in life is the product of your sacrifices.
While I was on the process of reaching mine, I was also in the verge of giving it up.
But one things that keeps me strong is my faith in God.
All of that, is paying back now. Today is the day for me to claim my success.
Butt today isn't yet the end, it's just the beginning.
Our learning process is continuous, it will only end once we die.
"Congratulations Ms.Santiago!"
Nakipagkamayan ang dean sa akin.
Pagkatapos ay ibinaba ko ang aking aviator hat na parte ng uniform namin bago ko tinaggap ang diplomat ko.
'My trophie is finally in my hands'
"Thank you so much po papa God!"
Kahit emosyonal ay nagawa ko pa rin ang makababa sa stage na on pose.
I saw Zeki and Daddy standing near the corner kung saan ako papunta para makabalik sa upuan ko.
"Uy hala, Capt!"
Nagsalute pa si Zeki, kaya natawa ako kasi feeling ko pulis ako or kasama ako sa Naval force dahil sa ginawa niya.
'hello mag dadrive lang naman ako ng eroplano.'
"Penelope! My baby darling, Congratulations!" Daddy hugged me so tight.
When we both let go I saw him cry a bit.
Happy tears yata kaya ako rin ay nadala sa iyak niya.
Zeki is the only one laugh at us.
Nang matapos ang ceremony ay nagkaroon muna kami ng pictorial ng mga batch mates ko.
Pagkatapos ay sina Sasha at Eunice naman ang lumapit sa akin.
Tatlong babae lang kami sa batch namin the rest are all boys.
Muslim silang dalawa at galing pa ng Zamboanga both are beautiful and simple.
Magpinsan at masyadong private ang life. Ako lang ata ang masyadong exposed sa aming tatlo.
"Ellaineee! graduate na talaga tayooooo! grabeeeee!" Tuwang tuwa na wika ni Eunice.
Nag group hug kaming tatlo.
"Girls diba sabi ko naman sa inyo kakayanin natin, girl power!" Mangiyak-ngiyak na wika ni Sasha.
We all shed a tear and laughed at that.
