I was planning to write a long post tonight since it's the eve of graduation, but I don't know, I'm really at loss for words now. I can't seem to write anything grand, like how Pisay changed my life or how it redefined the way I see life. I wanna cry in anguish or in joy (doesn't really matter as long as I do), but look ma, tears are nowhere to be found.
Today was just like an ordinary day in Pisay if it weren't for the mass or the breakfast or the Toast to Excellence or the last graduation practice. But no, those things comprised almost the whole chunk of the day, so maybe I'm wrong. But the way I ended this day was as ordinary as it can ever get. Walked, walked, then crossed somewhere, then rode a jeep with a friend. Then stared out of the window, then did my usual reflecting routine when I commute (bad habit, I know).
But yeah, I did remember and realize a couple of things. I'll make a simple list here so I won't forget, hah.
1. Silly me, I spent lots of times on unnecessary things that no one really cares about and skimped on things that really matter.
2. An acquaintance once described me as reserved, driven and diligent. I really didn't think I was like those three until now. Reserved, yes (I keep a fairly small group of friends), driven (I tend to push, push and push), and diligent (gosh, the group works 'cept STR :o:)) ). But if there's one word that I'd want the future me to be described as, it's assertive. :D
3. My friends are my heroes! My high school story really, sincerely won't be the same without them.
4. I still have lots of things to learn about love (like how not to freeze when my crush is around or play the part of a total gullible newbie). I've had few bruises and scratches somewhere, but I'm not to worry because as they say, learning is a lifelong process. :)
5. After long four years of battle: my face didn't survive unscathed apparently =)) Young girl -> sixteen-year old girl with pimples and large eyebags :o
6. It's better to surround yourself with cool people, interesting books/comics/magazines (and in the process, make yourself more cultured) than to direct your energy towards getting high scores. For me, at least.
7. I should have slept early when I could instead of wasting my time in late-night surfing and reading. Precious hours taken away from my youth, gosh. :))
8. And I don't know, to sum up things. I'll probably succintly describe Pisay as this: A Place Where I Discovered A Whole New World. :D
P.S. Something I found in Abby's Tumblr after I finished writing this:
"Follow your heart but take your brain with you."
- Just thought it was relevant. I'll be doing this. Promise. :)
