March 23

March 23, 2012 marked some personal memorable moments. One, it was my birthday. Second, it signaled the almost end of my college journey and the start of a new chapter.

The 2008 batch from the University of Santo Tomas simultaneously passed under the monumental Arch of the Century. UST has this legend that undergraduate students must never cross the arch if they want to successfully finish their supposed four or five year-college stay. Hence, for almost four years, I resisted the urge to pass under the archway! Haha.

UST baccalaureate mass would not go by without completing traditions such as writing on another student's uniform and goofing around the fountain. Unfortunately, UST turned off the fountains ahead of scheduled time! Ergo, we failed to cap off our celebration with playing in the fountain.

my vandalized uniform!

I was very happy and grateful that I was able to march under the Arch together with the people whom I walked with four years ago. We made it friends!
