Dear Bombastarr, Congratulations! :) You look so pretty in your dresses! Nagpalit ka pa? And may I ask where did you buy them?
Hi, thank you! Our white dresses are required for both the college recognition rites and the university graduation. They were scheduled on different days (though on the same weekend) so I had two dresses. The one I wore at the college grad (first two pictures) is from Zara, while the one I wore for the univ grad is a dress we bought two years ago at Singapore - it's one of my favorite dresses, actually :)
Dear Bombastarr, did you graduate on time? A cousin of mine said that in UP it's usual that people are delayed for graduating. Is that true?
Yes, I did graduate on time, although I have to agree that there is generally no judgment on students who get delayed in UP, whether by choice or by chance. As a matter of fact, it's actually quite normal to extend and explore more options, and is sometimes even encouraged to allow the students to have a better grasp of their fields. As such, I think there is not much pressure to graduate within the ideal four/five years, although a lot of students still strive to do so, of course :)
Congrats. :)
Thanks!
Dear Bombastarr, are you a -laude? :) Congrats for everything (UP/Ateneo/Beda Law, graduation, thesis, etc etc) You deserve all of it!
I graduated cum laude. Thank you! Lots of hugs for you! >:D<
Dear Bombastarr, Congrats!!! :) Galing!
Maraming salamat!
Dear Bombastarr, nagbablog ka din ba about negative things, or yung mga personal na bagay?
I try not to, or when I do, I try to be cryptic about it. While I do like letting off steam, I also consider who might be reading this so as much as possible I put out all the details regarding very personal issues.
Hiiii, I'm currently reading The Marriage Plot and as silly as this sounds, I feel like I'm Maddy! Wala lang, I'm halfway through it and my heart skips a beat whenever I see Derrida or Kristeva or Barthes gaaah it really is the book for lit majors. I don't want to finish it anymore lol wala lang also congratulations!!!! -Kaisa
Di ba? Simula pa lang eh, with all the books and authors! I was giddy all throughout, mainly because I don't think I have ever come across a character so similar to the situation I was in while reading it. Sakto eh, when I read it I also had a Lit Theory class and was just finishing my thesis - which is probably why I'm very based about it and loved it to bits even though some critics panned it :)) I hope you're enjoying your summer, Kaisa! :)
