Back from Cold City
Friday, March 30, 2007

So I just stumbled out of a 6-hour bus ride from Baguio, grad rehearsals are currently underway, my actual college graduation is this afternoon, and I am home, online. I rule.
Had a last-second microvacation with the Heg
Emoness and Javs. Roughly two days in Baguio doing nothing but eat, drink, make fun of each other, sleep and feel very nippy. I did my mandatory
ukay hoarding and
ube bingeing, but I did not get blasted like last year, when I drank Javs’ kryptonite of a gin-lime concoction and woke up topless and smothered in cold, gummy vomit. In fact, it was the HegEmoness who ended up the most wonky among the three of us, turning into a four-year-old who tries to steal posters off
sari-sari store walls. She kept us well-entertained. Oh, and we built a good fire with pizza box-kindling, too. It was quite the achievement.
It was a nice little microvacation all in all, and I appreciate our adjourning it moments before I do my thing in a toga. I would rather go through this Most Important Day of My Life in Theory feeling absolutely out of it rather than completely clear-headed. It will make me impervious to the sap in store, among other things.
So here’s to graduation day and whatever its aftermath. *clink* May I not fall asleep onstage.
