Yeah, because there will be <em>two<\/em> graduation. First graduation is Faculty graduation and the second is University graduation. You can guess what the formal meanings are from their name, while the <em>de facto<\/em> meanings is like this : Faculty graduation is the serious one, where everything is done sacredly in order, like we have our parents accompany us to the stage, etc; yeah it is almost &#8220;religious&#8221; if I may say. The second graduation, according to the common rumors, is more like celebration and less ceremonial. Many of the students, instead taking their relatives, they take their <em><abbr title=\"phuachar (f)\">gf<\/abbr><\/em> or <em><abbr title=\"phuachar (m)\">bf<\/abbr><\/em> with them. Sure, it would be nice&#8230; if you have one! And the fact that you spend almost six years to finish your study, doesn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t guarantee that you will have one! (this is the moral of this story, hehehe..!)<\/p>\n<p>These situations remind me to one of old Clamp\u00e2\u0080\u0099s manga \u00e2\u0080\u009c<em><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wish_%28manga%29\">Wish<\/a><\/em>\u00e2\u0080? which has a tagline : \u00e2\u0080\u009cThere must be wish that can\u00e2\u0080\u0099t be realized alone\u00e2\u0080?. Well, I never knew that it would take me so long before I understand that words completely&#8230; by practice. Yeah, so this is one kind of those wishes, a dream that can\u00e2\u0080\u0099t be realized no matter how hard you try, as long as you\u00e2\u0080\u0099re <abbr title=\"single\">alone<\/abbr>. And I better to get used to these situations, because I know more and more are still to come as I continuously face adulthood. But thanks God, everything is not so gloom and doom for me. I never got lonely too long, I have best friends around. Not one, not two, not three, but a whole bunch of a gang, and even more. Sure, some are already graduated and left back there, but we\u00e2\u0080\u0099re never lost contact. Thank you guys! You\u00e2\u0080\u0099re the best! <em>Watashi-tachi wa sekai ni saiko<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i18.photobucket.com\/albums\/b122\/boku_baka\/gladi.jpg\" alt=\"pose up\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>After the rehearsal <\/strong>: one of the last pose as undergraduated.. hehehe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pheeff, just got back from the first graduation rehearsal.
