one of the best ten days of my life.....

just got the chance to get hold of my computer.....wanna say so many things, this blog is not enough to contain what i feel about everything i have experienced while in Davao....
to rewind what i felt in our graduation....
as usual ate Maryam (Manalundong) was nudging us to wake up and be ready(as was the case everyday, sleepyheads as we are)...got some breakfast...then prepared for the big day...of course we wana look our best,its not everyday we get to graduate in Marco Polo, with chief executives as our guests...
the ballroom looks great....and everyone looks great too...
then ma'am Happy Raagas was briefing us with the programme...we were seated with the precocious Basilan guys...and as usual when around this group, one cant help but laugh all the time,with their never ending sense of humour...
seing the IBM general manager in person, we cant help but feel his sincerity in giving help to where it is mostly needed...words are not enough to praise him for his dedication on improving the plight of the forgotten teachers of the ARMM region...thank you very much sir!!!
at last we get to hold our certificate...I do feel like i graduated from a degree course...the feeling of having accomplished something was great!....i was elated!!!seems all my hard work had finally paid off...
we're all teary eyed as we gave the token to sir Meoh and sir Garsh...it was an honor to have them as our mentors,our teachers and our friends...
all in all the graduation went smoothly...except perhaps the photo sessions at the end...we wana have pictures with everyone...the room was in chaos! with everyone grabbing anyone they could get their hands to...pose here, pose there...its was real fun!
then come the,how do they call it, awards session?...i admit i didnt expect my presentation to be chosen as one of the top five...everybody's material deserves commendation, it was all great!!
and then at last(been dreading for this whole week) come the time where we have to bid farewell to our co-scholars...so far it was the saddest part of all this experience...to see people who have touched your life go, wondering when you'll see them again...
the bus ride going to Cagayan de Oro City was a blur...all the MSU "contingent" went in one bus...from Davao till we arrive, we were all chatting and laughing and reminiscing our experiences...
NOW SITTING IN THE COMFORTS OF MY HOME, I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST EXPERIENCED ONE OF THE BEST TEN DAYS OF MY LIFE...
