Four years for a piece of parchment paper. It?s not even embossed or scented, as Elle Woods would have liked it. Yet, I am so relieved, and yes, proud of it because it symbolizes my freedom from surprise tests and recitations.
F-R-E-E-D-O-M! Weee! Weee! Weee!
But I miss Almer?s oily breaded pork chop on top of a dirty table. The dirty kwek-kwek on the streets of Dapitan. The footlong hotdog stands with a get-all-you-want mayo. The cheap and various-flavored chocolate shakes.
I miss going to Quiapo to develop rolls and rolls of films every week. I miss walking in the middle of the field. I miss Paskuhan and Rite of Passage. I miss cutting classes so I can watch Harry Potter, the movie.
I miss running around the campus terrorizing hapless students with a camera and a microphone. I can still remember how heavy that godforsaken manfrotto was. I know I could have used an ordinary tripod if I wanted, but my pride stops me from doing so. I just felt so professional using it.
And most of all I miss sharing this moments with my friends.
Sigh. I still don?t know how all eight of us squeezed in my poor car. Oh, how we used to scare the daylights out of Gabby, whenever we take our clothes off inside. We used to eggLeidy to get her head out of the moonroof and scream in her loudest voice, ?I love you, Piolo!?
Then I remembered the trip from Cavite where Kathy and Pam kept on shouting, ?Imuuus!? when I have repeatedly corrected them that we came from Bacoor. Imus sounds better daw kasi.
Then the wenches even made a pass on the poor toll gate collector. Then as we were about to part our ways, a radio dj from monster greeted our newly-formed barkada on the air.
He said, ?Hi to all the Fox team!?
Later, we would send sappy love messages to each other. Euuuw! Yuck. Pauso lang ni Kathy yun, tapos pati kami nadamay sa kadramahan.
Yikes, I have to bring this one up. Because I grew up in a Sharon Cuneta-dominated household, I couldn?t help but say this to them on our first and last open forum, ?para kaming basahan na tinapakan.?
