| graduation.
i'm grown. well, sort of. i've finally written the ending to this chapter and i'm getting ready to write the next one. i know everyone uses that analogy, but it's the only cliched analogy that no one will get sick of. i feel like that huge burden of highschool is now over! the burden meaning-- popularity, beauty, pettiness, backstabbing, etc. you know the usual. i'm starting to realize that only in highschool does that stuff matter because people are so insecure about themselves, they need to make others feel bad. purposely.
i'm a graduate. according to the Maryland State Board of Education, Alexandra Kelly Colburn has completed in a satisfactory manner at the Maurice J. McDonough High School a program of studies in accordance with the requirements of the State Board of Education for graduation from an approved High School and is therefore awarded this Diploma. what it essentially mean?-- i followed the crowd, i did what i was told, i worked my ass off and now i'm here, standing at the corner of walk/don't walk.
i walked.
the most exciting part of the ceremony for me was walking across that stage and looking at my parents and turning that tassel. it was that feeling of exhiliration and that burden flying away. anthony made me cry when he sang "you raise me up". i love that kid.
i also realized the importance of friendship. we may not always be close, or agree on the same things, or hang out religiously-- but i love my friends. especially LA.OP.KE. i hate you guys as much as i love you if not more. but i guess that's family. that's love in some sick twisted loving way. =) but we won't be best friends forever. and that's okay, because we'll always have eachother where it matters-- in our hearts.
to my loving, caring, amazing, dedicated, faithful boyfriend--
stephen, we've been thru a lot together. i won't exaggerate and say "everything", or "thru so much", because we haven't. only old married couples who're in their 50th year of marriage can say that. or couples who go thru trouble everyday of their lives over petty nonesense. we are different. which makes us great. we're compatible and we understand compromise. i love you. i don't think we'll ever know the complete extent of eachother's love because it is too great. you make me laugh, smile, frown, grin, punch, giggle and everything in between. i love you soo much. i've waited such a long time for this and i don't want it to end. but it may and that's something we'll both have to overcome. but if it doesn't, i surely don't mind. =)
to everyone else-- friend or foe
if there's anything i learned from life thus far, then it's to love your neighbor. this year, we've seen so many terrible things. actually, in the past couple years. war, terror. that is no way to live. forgive and try to forget. lord knows, i'm not immaculate. lord knows we all need some salvation. but the lord knows that if we try, then we can do it.
1. forgive & try to forget.
2. apologize & humble yourself.
3. promote peace, not war.
4. ladies-- don't wear too much makeup.
5. gentlemen-- don't wear your pants too loose or too tight.
6. find something you love and && stick with it.
7. don't let people or possessions tie you down.
8. you are the master of your own destiny.
9. you are the master of your own words.
10. wear sunscreen. =)
i love you && have a nice life. | | |
| after a super long hiatus
i'm finally back on xanga. i've been pressed over myspace and photobucket & webshots-- but now i have come to love facebook. i spend a lot of time on there. i was just sittin here the other day wonderin' about my xanga and then today after being awoken by my father-- i decided to see if this sucka was still up. looks like it is!
well, that boyfriend i mentioned a year ago-- stephen william galvin -- we have been together for one year. three months. (appx.) it will be 1yr.4mnths. on june 10.
graduation is TODAY. i'm both excited and nervous. i can't say i've been waitin' forever for this to happen as i look back on it-- but i'm still excited. nervous? not right now. maybe at the ceremony it'll hit me that i'm going to be going out into the real world. almost at least =)
college: i will be attending Ithaca College in the fall in the exploratory program but i hope to major in musical theatre in the end of it all. =)
i recently entered the Miss Teenage Philippines Pageant, inc. (localized event) and i was runner up by 2 points! but i made great friends there and i got a little more in touch with my culture. i'm happy.
i love life. what else can i say? | | |

i didnt get invited by any of the seniors  but i know i will miss so many of them  mostly mary tho.. *tear. mary has been my inspiration and my idol all year long. she is such a great person and has so much talent. "i wanna be like mary!" "ughhhh daz kyute!" "will you make out with me?" "im assuming you're a virgin right?" mad fun.fun times.  ahh im gna cry now. i will miss them more than they know.
---[ i found out a lot about myself the past few weeks...
- i have a lot more self control than most of the people i know (i.e. sex, gossip, fights/arguments, when ppl piss me off)
-i tend to "spill the beans" on a lot of shieet and thats not a good thing
- im lonely and i think a little too desperate for a bf
-i have great friends now who would do anything for me and i for them
- im more independent, self-assured than a lot of the people (mainly women) i thought were
it has been a good/bad few weeks. good/high times, bad/low times but we all get used to it right? since i got Old Faithful (the name of my van) it has given me a lot of responsibility that i think i can handle. i feel more grown up, more mature, more me. more independent for the most part..
im lovin' it
