Happy Eclipse Day!
This came in just a tad late. It was on July 1st 2010 that the movie opened with a bang.I fretted over about not getting to book seats one week in advance and my father was kind enough to help me book since he went home early on Wednesday. On another note, Golden Village has really bad customer service, I emailed them and did not get a reply. Wednesdays are a bane in this semester, classes just have to end early on this day.Anyway, I got the seats I wanted, I guessed I was not surprised that on Wednesday night, only a small portion of the theater was filled. However, by the next day afternoon, the theater was almost full. I did not finish re-reading Eclipse despite going home early on Thursday. But, I tried to absorb as much as I could. Then, it was time to go off. The review will come in later.
Yesterday was when I got on stage to collect my Director's Honours List award.I reached the convention centre by 5pm and sat in an almost empty room for almost an hour.My new heels are literally killing me slowly. My toes were like crushed, still I do love the heels. Slowly, more students arrived. The AY2009/2010 freshmen side were almost filled up while the AY 2009/2010 junior side had seats empty. My row was the worst, only 3 students were there. I saw some friends who are in other diplomas getting this award too. It started out with an corporate video of TP and how TP came to be. For some reason, I felt a torrent of emotions ran through me. I don't know, perhaps I just feel like something was right for a second. Everything happened so fast then. Row by row, we made a big turn to the side and as our names got called, we went on stage to collect the certificate from the director of Business School. I was a little afraid of making a fool of myself. My name was pronounced wrongly and I thought "It just have to be my name", walked the best I could and shook hands with the Director. Camera light flashed and I was off the stage. I just sincerely hope that the pictures turned out right. There was a performance from a student and the event ended. My parents and I didn't stay for the buffet though. Somehow, as much as my feet hurt, I wanted to stay. But, oh well. I did saw a former lecturer and he congratulated me. And I love the feeling. Why not? Something in my life went right and I feel proud. Almost 14 years of schooling and this is the first major achievement I made.
