Ze graduation partey and ze graduation rites

I am officially on house arrest. This is actually my third day already, yet I only managed to open my laptop now. I caught the big bad flu (yes, despite the flu shots, demmet!) and I have a bad case of diarrhea. Going to the restroom more than 10 times a day ain’t a party. The consolation was I lost 4 lbs. – effortless at that. And I get to spend precious time with Kyle! Although, most of the time, I was just on fetal position on my brown couch, with the cute kitty hovering around me.

I was too nauseated to do anything – watch TV, eat, much less open my notebook. Now that I feel better, I can while away my time by posting my graduation event last week.

My graduation party hosted by R. for me was a blast! Thank you, Inner Circle, for joining us.

Thanks to Gem and Des for helping me with the logistics. I could not have done it WITHOUT you guys!

Major thanks to R. for flying home to join me in my graduation day and for being the official videographer - despite the rain. Kinarir talaga ang video kahit mabasa siya. Awww.
Sweetness!

Thanks to my Mom who was in my grad rites despite feeling ill.

No photos of my speech - it's all in video and I ain't posting. Dyahe! Hahaha.

Here are some of the photos:
