The thought of leaving something I love is not at all easy. But somehow, days before graduation flew so fast that only when we sang the Song for Mary did it finally dwell on me that I am certainly leaving the university I have loved (It was also the first time that I sang that song with all my heart). Being an Atenean makes me feel proud and happy. As I look back at my days at the Ateneo, it’s always a mix of different emotions and certainly I am very happy of the way I spent my four years there. I am blessed with all the friends I have gained. I have built long lasting friendships with the best people on earth. I joined different organizations and I am glad that I was given the chance to help other people. Certainly, not a single moment was wasted. Not a single experience I would not love to repeat. Not a single tear of sadness or happiness, I would have regretted. The whole experience was so complete that I could not have asked for more. And the best way to end the whole journey is finding the person you’ve been waiting for so long and yet still graduating with honors. How’s that for a finale huh? :)
The former title of this blog was Wishing Feathers. It represents my wishes a year ago when I started blogging. Some of my wishes came true and a lot more didn’t. Yet I continue to dream even more and just add more to the list. Because life is just like that - a bucket of wishes that when you wake up each day, you hope and pray that each one will come true at last. You live your day one at a time, climbing that ladder of success to reach your goals. Wishes make life a whole lot of fun...yet painful too, when it seems that wishes cannot be granted to you. But that’s the beauty of life and I am not at all afraid of it. I welcome everything that I experience as a gift of life, a lesson to be learned… And as I journey more to this crazy, happy, challenging world, I will still be bringing my bucket of wishes, hoping that each one will come true one at a time. See? Wishes never end! :)
