On our ride home bigla namang nagsalita si mommy.  "I know you're thinking to much about your plans for college. No pressure, tho." She smiled.

"I know, Ma." I smiled at her and then looked at the window. Parang mas magandang maging halaman nalang?

"But, I'm still sad about Irish and Jacque. Is that what they really want?" Nag pause at tumingin sakin tapos umiling lang ako. I haven't had the heart to heart with them about this kasi nga ako pa ang iniisip nila kasi wala pa din akong choice about college.

"Sana lang yun yung gusto talaga nila. And not being pressured by their parents. I mean, iba iba tayo ng parenting style. Kaso..." Bigla siyang nag buntong hinga. "I don't want to have this conversation with you so never mind."

She held my hand. "Just make sure that they are okay, okay?" She really sounded upset.

"Of course, Mom." and then smiled at her.

I loved how she cares for them. Anak na nga talaga ang turing niya sa mga kaibigan ko. Ikaw ba naman isa lang ang naging anak.

When we got home, dumiretso naman ako sa kwarto ko. Umalis na si mommy kasi may trabaho pa siya sa hospital and she needed to come there as soon as possible. Alam mo na, doctor. She said her goodbye and sorry for she won't be able to come to my graduation but pero minake sure ko naman na okay lang sakin.

Natulog muna ako and woke up at 3pm. 5 pa naman kami dapat pumunta sa school kaya may oras pa ako para matulog. Nag message naman sa group chat namin si Irish ng picture showing na ready na ang nails niya para mamaya.

After taking a bath again. Biglang kumatok si Manang. Pinagbuksan ko naman siya ng pinto. I smiled at her and she smiled back naman.

"Miss Vicky, andito na po ang make up artist nyo. " Sabi ni Manang. I was looking at the clock and buti naman she's right on schedule.

"Thank you. Manang. Pasabi saglit lang at magbibihis ako." Tumango siya at nagsara na ng pinto.

After kong magbihis pinapasok ko na yung make up artist. Her name's Mickey daw and I told her na super light make up lang since high school graduation naman ang pupuntahan ko. And not a pageant.

She managed to finish at 4pm. Tapos cinurl niya ang tip ng hair ko. My hair was just above my shoulders. I was planning to kept my hair and hayaan siyang maging mahaba. I wanted to color my hair, soon. I looked simple and elegant sa ayos ko. She just smiled at me when I was amused of what I saw. She's good.


After that, nag spray siya ng setting spray and hairspray sakin. She took a picture for her portfolio purposes daw. She said congratulations before she left.

Nagbihis na din ako pagkatapos ng pag ayos sakin. I wore again the stockings and the 3 inches black heels because that's what they wanted. After fixing stuff. I took my polariod camera with me and went downstairs.

Pag baba ko, andun na si daddy nag aantay.

"You ready, Vicky?" Dad said and I said yes.

Excited ako na kinakabahan. Ilang oras na lang. Good bye high school life na. It was a sad at first pero mas nananatili pa rin yung kaba. I'll be a college freshmen in a few months.

I really can't believe it. After 4 years of crying, sobbing, stressing, happiness, dilemmas and so on. Matatapos na. Nakakaiyak din kasi after this may magkikita pa naman kami, yung iba ka schoolmate mo lang ulit or kaklase pero yung iba lilipat ng school, lilipat ng lugar at yung iba na nakakasad eh yung lilipat na sa ibang bansa.
