College of Social Sciences and Philosophy Recognition day:

• Early morning wake-up for early morning call time
• Jamaican coffee and toast with butter
• Make-up and "It feels like I do have a sister."
• Blood for Poppies
• Backless dress in the heat
• Looking for my 'life partner' in the crowd
• A near-cry for Chancellor Tan's speech
• Underwhelming but not without personal significance for the keynote
• The short march up
• Waiting, waiting, waiting
• UP Naming Mahal
  • Followed by the classic activist chant
  • Followed by a memorable "Graduate na ko!"
• Blur of people
• Family lunch
  • Beck's
  • Unbeatable coffee variety
  • A complimentary dessert
• Mommy Ester
• The realization that I probably had too much coffee today, and that I've probably given this 'end' as much importance as I can.

--It ended sweetly, albeit underwhelmingly. Maraming salamat, CSSP.
