Outrage isn't the word that I would describe what I felt when I heard that RP was named most dangerous place for journalists.
I felt down! As in, very depressed! Because, some point of time in my life, I was a journalist and I still am even if my college degree is not related to journalism.
Alright, maybe other people died in that tragedy and not just journalist. But that would be handled in another part of this rant.
Hear me out.
Those people, were sent their not really by their won choice, they were given an assignment to cover the filling of the candidates certificate for the upcoming election. They weren't part of this political dynasty clash. They shouldn't have been killed. None of those people deserved to have died like that, and what was the gain from their deaths, a society with nothing but the old C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N still hanging over the air of the Philippines.
The people responsible think they are untouchables, well they aren't. They've already been expelled from their party by a person who can actually have an intellectual conversation with Harvard professors. They given a bad name for the provinces in Mindanao. And they have disgraced the values of being a Filipino.
It was ironic, the the press conference for the young journalists of our country took place last week. Will this be their fate as well when they are in the job they've dreamed of doing? Are the Filipino journalist be famous for always getting killed while in the field?
What justice is this for the country and for the act of freedom of speech in itself?!
Rant. That is what's above and I really don't care if the ideas are all rumbled and I really don't care if it's the worst essay you've read so far. All I care about is that, whoever did this, may it have been the one giving the order or the one carrying out the order, you'll have to face the consequences of your actions. Every single on of your countrymen hates you. You'll have to live with that fact, and if I could have a chance I would like to ask those responsible:
What political power really worth what you'll be facing?
I sure hope you don't answer yes.
We take this rivalry too seriously!
Haha, my dad just told me that the 2010 elections would be just like your ordinary UAAP game. It's the green team versus the blue, not in basketball but in politics and in the highest positions in the country.
The presidential elections is a fight between DLSU alumni and ADMU alumni.
Gilbert Teodoro and his running mate Eduardo Manzano are both graduates of La Salle while Ninoy Aquino and Mar Roxas are both Atenistas.
I know this maybe just a coincidence and all that but the rivalry between my school and my best friend's school is just too much. It reached this level for Pete's sake!
Well I don't think both schools in question will support their graduates. The president of DLSU and DLSU itself is close to the heart of the Aquino family even if Noynoy came from Ateneo.
I just hope this election won't be like a DLSU-ADMU game wherein their's a fight after the match.

How it happened! The final hours of my PSP...
Alright! A fair warning. This post is very emotional and very materialistic. Do not read if you hate both!!!
Last Tuesday, I rode the trains LRT and MRT towards Makati to meet my parents there and will go home together. I waited for my sister in the station and hold and behold when she saw me, the front pocket of my bag was open. First I thought, no big. I don't put important stuff there anyways.
She asked me to check everything that I have in my bag. And suprise!!! No PSP in sight, I must have placed it in the front pocket of my bag.
To quote my dad, "Para kang nawalan ng boyfriend!"
Yes! That is how much I loved my PSP. I mean, it was the ultimate gadget! You could play games, watch movies, listen to music, take pictures (if you had the PSP camera gadget) and even surf the internet!
I totally miss it and always kick myself when I remembered how careless I was for not minding my bag while I was walking in the station.
Alright, my PSP was old and well it's been used and wanning in the years, but I still love it. I want my PSP back but I know I won't ever get it.
By some chance, if whoever took it is reading this. You can't open it because it has a password. there are no games except for the BOOK READER, and it has a memory of 2GB only. You picked the wrong PSP to steal just so you know.

My Birthday Gift to Myself: Second Place in Fully Booked-Book Geek Competition
See here, I am a current International Students Major in De La Salle University Manila and is a working student currently assigned to the Information-Reference of the University Library. My way of stress releasing is by joining a literature contest that is held once a month.
If you are wondering why I tagged you, skip to the end of these note but if you are curious as a cat to know the whole story then read ahead!
Yesterday, October 24 at 6 p.m. was the Book Geek for the month of October. 9 people were their. only 1 of them was a new comer, a Literature Major from the Philippine Normal University, Carlo.
I've joined that contest twice before and last night was my third try.
The Elimination was like this, you had to pick a number from the bowl with colored paper in it. Written on the piece of paper was a number which corresponds to a number.
I really thought that I would have been out after the first two questions. Since you do have life lines like Skip which is to skip the round but you have to answer two questions when your turn comes again and Pass which is to pass the question to another contestant and if they answer it wrong both of you are goners.
It was the first round and it was my turn. I already thought that I was going to use a life line then the host asked me if I was well aware about the boys in literature, and my heart was beating so fast. The contestants before me had Harry Potter questions, why didn't I get one! My heart was beating so fast from anxiety.
My first question, good thing was: Who were the Hardy Boys?
Whew, I was saved.
The next round I wasn't that lucky, I forgot the answer. I knew it was a type of fever but I forgot the name. The question was: What illness did Beth caught in Little Woman? So I skipped. I knew it was a fever but I didn't know which kind. The answer was Scarlett Fever.
So the next round I had to answer two questions. Again, my heart was beating so fast. Still I had no intention of winning. I only had the intention of not being the fist to be voted out.
First was: Who was the ghost in the bathroom in Harry Potter? (Hello! Harry Potter addict here!) Second was: What was the word branded in the first murder in Angels and Demons? I quickly answered Earth but then I asked if I could change my answer to Illuminati. I remembered that Earth was written on the first cardinal but not necessarily the first death.
I was saved!
My final question for the elimination was: Which Weasley Twin got his ear cut off by a curse? George of course.
So, that landed me in the final three.
The finals was a close game. Raise to five and we 3 had the same questions. It was like a quiz bee.
I answered the following questions:
Which to novels were Victor Hugo famous for? Les Miserable and The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Which German author sold his soul to the Devil? Faust (I was the only who answered it!)
What do you say when you want to summon your spellbook in Harry potter? Accio Spellbook!
What is the working title of The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown? The Solomon Key (I was the only who answered it!)
Who wrote 'Bata, bata paano ka ginawa'? Lualhati Bautista
Carlo, who won the first prize, and me were tied for five points and it was supposedly a raise to 5, the final question was something about an author winning a literary award back in 1920 and so unfortunately i didn't know but Carlo being a literary major took a guess and he won!
Good for him! But I wouldn't have had second place if it weren't for the following people:
Ate Sarah- For being addicted to Dan Brown and letting me be the only person to answer the Lost Symbol question!
Cholo-For getting me hooked to Harry Potter.
Mom and Dad-For buying the Hardy Boys for Ate and Kuya before! That saved me from the first question!
Ms. Millette, Ms. Angel, Ms. Rachelle- For teaching me all about literature and the wonders of reading. Without you guys I wouldn't have known the authors like Victor Hugo, Robert Frost and all their works.
Veritas Parochial School- The CL text book had Faust in it! That is why I was able to answer it.
Martin Candelaria, Thea Salazar, Portia Destacamento, MM Maglasang- For being my fellow book worms in high school. I wouldn't have remembered literary facts without you guys! Especially Portia, because of you I read "Love In A Time of Cholera" and "Memoirs of a Geisha". I might have misspelled the answers but it was okay that I still answered them!
GOD, JESUS- For letting me get that far and for guiding me in picking the number where my question lied.
The greatest birthday present for myself! Thanks everyone!

When Nostalgia kick backs: Toy Story
When we got home earlier tonight, we caught Toy Story at the Disney Channel.
I so totally missed that movie. It was my first ever favorite movie! Haha, can you remember it. Woody and Buzz with their constant bickering. Realizing that maybe toys have feelings too?
I remember when I was younger, my parents promised me that they would take me to watch the sequel if I got a perfect score in one of my tests that week. I didn't get a perfects core but I did get a high score. And when they got home they told me we could go and watch it. At that time it was only Filinvest that had a movie house and ATC hadn't.
I really miss that movie and now I promise myself that on Monday, I'm going to watch it again as a birthday treat to myself! Haha!
I missed those kid movies that I adored back then and TOY STORY was my ultimate favorite. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to look for my Buzz Light Year t-shirt and my Woody doll.

My First Day As A Working Student
Yup, you've read right.
I, Michelle Grace Ortega Lojo, is as of October 07, 2009 at8 a.m. a working student for the University Library of De La Salle University in the section of Information-Reference.
Haha, now that was a mouthful. Haha!
Well, earlier today I started with the START program of La Salle. Also known as the
The students who apply to it are given secretarial jobs in any sections of the school that is need of additional hands.
My class was at 11:20 this morning and I was already in school at around 7. I think. It was fun. I had breakfast at Mcdo. Studied the reading I was given and at 8, started my job.
Funny that a blockmate of mine spent the time there where I was working. It was nice of her to keep me company, thanks Dups!
When it was 11, I walked towards Andrew and went to my class and I was not late! I even had time to talk with my friends and all that.
I hope this goes well. Haha.
My schedule is 3 hours every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and 7 hours during Fridays.
Well that was it, being a working student just means that I have to wake up early every single day. Oh well! That's life, I love it!

Again, DLSU underwater last Saturday...good thing we managed to get out.
TAXI Cab VS Ondoy's Water Minions
Alright, a taxi even if the water was already up to its tires still went on his way! Short video but still that driver must be out of his mind!
Water rises-Ondoy (Ketsana) has arrived!
I arrived at the LRT-MRT Edsa Station. I was at the over pass and I stopped to take in what was going on.

DLSU Underwater!!!
Alright, the first picture is from my phone. The other picture I got from my mom. And other pictures were accidentally deleted by an idiot who handles her phone. She also deleted the meeting with Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago!!!!
There's a lake in front of my school!
I would only call what is in front of DLSU earlier in the rains, a lake. If you want a sea of floods got to UST.
Anyway, back to my story. ROTC was not canceled today so I still went to school. Let's just say that Ondoy had other plans for the students that day.
Usually, my parents would fetch me once the ROTC was over. But floods from different parts of Metro Manila hindered that act. Even inside DLSU, water came striding in. The garden and the amphitheater was under water. The South Gate was flooded up until ankle high I would estimate.
Since my parents couldn't get near to Taft, I decided to take the MRT/LRT to Makati and catch a Shuttle Service to BF. Only problem is when I got there. They ceased to be in business due to the fact that all Express Ways weren't that express at all. All roads were in a stand still.
My only other option was to walk the streets (well Walkways) of Makati City and go to my mom's office and they will find a way to fetch me from there.
Oh, I forgot to mention. Being the dunder head that I am. I didn't have any umbrella or jacket with a hood whatsoever. It was my TYPE C uniform and my bag. Yup, they were drenched of course after my little adventure in the rain and finally reaching Ayala Tower.
I reached my mom's office and my mom told the people there to buy me food and that I could use her computer. An hour later, my mom and dad arrived at Makati.
On our way home, no other option but take the SkyWay. I've never seen people walking on the Skyway before but today it was an expressway/ walkway. I mean those who broke their umbrellas left it there on the road and they were really walking. From above I could see that some cars in the SLEX were abandoned, no drivers and that again people were walking.
Man, today when I got out of bed, I just dreaded going to school. But now I dreaded even just waking up and getting dressed. I wasn't really tired from all my adventures today. I mean, I got by on my own in the rainy streets of Makati City, without an umbrella I might add.
And if I didn't take that little wet adventure of mine, I might be stranded in DLSU with other students.
Oh shout outs to people who are stuck in their school, special mention to Mitchelle Navera! Good luck sa pagtulog mo sa St. Paul! Char sana makarating ka na sa bahay niyo!
Well that was my day, rainy and wet but at least I'm home! And I've heard mass in Resurrection.
Pictures and videos of the day to follow in other posts.

Two Great Teachers!
No!! It was our last meeting with Sir Manhit and Sir Marasigan! I can't believe it! I loved those two professors! They are the best!
Sir Victor Manhit is my professor in Introduction to Political Science while Sir Anastacio Marasigan is the vice-chair of the International Studies Department and is my professor in Introduction to Global Studies.
They are two great teachers! Extremely cool and fun. Well, Sir Marasigan did warn us that sometimes he looses his temper but in our class he never actually did. Sir Manhit is like the master of political science! Extremely well versed in their specific field!
I couldn't believe that it was our last meeting earlier. I hope they become my teachers again!
Funny fact that Mr. Manhit was the on that hired Mr. Marasigan and their lessons are always coinciding with one another. So cool!
I'll miss their discussions so much! Now, I hate having a trimester, it's too short! When our classes ended earlier we were all in applause in both classes.
Greatest teachers so far!

UP
| Rating: | ★★★★★ |
| Category: | Movies |
| Genre: | Animation |
UP is a new Pixar-Disney collaboration movie that portrays a old man named Mr. Fredricksen, who will do his promise for his wife, to fly their house to paradise falls.
The promise is put on hold numerous times, but when Mr. Fredricksen is about to be evicted from his own house, the adventure is the answer to everything. What he didn't count on was a runaway passenger by the name of Russell, a wilderness explorer who wants to get his final badge so he could be promoted to Senior Wilderness Explorer.
UP isn't just for kids. I swear upon it. When I watched it, the ATC Cinema 1 Theater was filled with people of different ages. The story started out nice but when Mr. Fredricksen's wife passed away without her getting to accomplish her dream adventure, it was a sad opening for a movie. But all turned out well. The story was great and of course the animation was superb. This is Pixar we are talking about. But the movie, I have to admit was a little short. Alright maybe the story permitted to be only an hour and maybe 30 minutes but I was hoping for a little more. I did feel like time just flew by when I watched it. Felt like standing in line was longer.
All in all, you really must see up, just like you must reminisce with the other Pixar movies.
A missed chance!
Introduction to Global Studies is like a major class for my course which is International Studies. He asked a question that I had an answer too only problem is didn't raise it. I was scared that my answer might have been wrong.
In the end he said the answer, and would you believe that the answer I was formulating in my head was the exact same thing he said.
I was really mad at myself. Especially since my professor, Sir Marasigan, always accepted answers may it be wrong or right. He gave a chance to anyone to voice out and I did not take it. I really was mad at myself, it was a missed opportunity.
This is a class that I required myself to at least recite twice per meeting. I knew the answer and I couldn't get myself to raise my hand. In short, I was worried about this class often. And reciting in it is like getting a perfect score in a quiz.
Just goes to show, don't be afraid to raise your hand!

The blog that was encourage by people....
I've read two already for the past week. A reflection paper on their current life as a College Student.
I for one and happy with my classes and stuff. Having a 8 people barkada and commuting home. Buying foods and all that stuff.
With classes and stuff, I faced a challenge that I never thought was even possible. My life is complicated when I study I usually get a low score and when I don't I receive high marks. But know that I am in college I would not want to risk anything at the moment so I studied my head off.
Problem, what I studied was different from the exam, all of us studied the wrong part of the topics. I really though I was done for.
Good thing I still got a 2.0. (Studying in DLSU). But that feeling, the feeling of uneasiness, that I might fail for the very first time.
I know everyone felt that. Everyone has felt that feeling and well since it was my first time, I actually never intended to write it. But I've read two blogs already and said "Why don't I put my two cents in."
College is hard and easy, Both ways. It's just we are adjusting from our old high school feelings that we think we can go easy on it. We can't cram papers, we can't put off working on an assignment till the last minute. People who you ride the elevator with can be 20 years old and above that are students the same as you.
Like what I told my best friend, we have a lot of challenges but the difference of the Veritan newly grads is that we have people we can talk too and say our problems and they will help us. We have people we can talk too that will make us happy. And that is what helps us throughout the day.
Smile everyone!
I for one and happy with my classes and stuff. Having a 8 people barkada and commuting home. Buying foods and all that stuff.
With classes and stuff, I faced a challenge that I never thought was even possible. My life is complicated when I study I usually get a low score and when I don't I receive high marks. But know that I am in college I would not want to risk anything at the moment so I studied my head off.

To all my fellow Vianney-nnians! Happy SJV Day!
Wow! People are actually following me?!
Alright now that is not like the game "Follow The Leader". I'm talking about Twitter here, Hehe, very funny.
I really just had to blog about it. A number of people are following me on Twitter! It's a very big surprise for me really! Because I never thought that my tweets were that interesting. I do have a lot of followers but no one has yet given me a direct message. Haha.
To all those multiply goers who also have Twitter accounts search me! Hehe!

The Man Behind The Icon
This is a well over-due blog entry that I've wanted to make ever since that faithful Friday morning (Manila time) last June 26. Good thing I have an early dismissal today.
We all know who Michael Jackson is. Not one of us never came into contact to his music and influence. Dancing very actively, standing on your toes, dancing like a zombie, wearing glittered apparel and all other things that MJ has influenced is a part of everyone's lives. (Well maybe except the infants at present time who I feel sorry for never knowing the king of Pop.) We all grew up (my generation) listening to our parents play Jackson 5 Christmas songs of course during the holiday season.
I'll say it. I am a fan of his music and not just because of his recent death but because I really was one. My favorite had to be Smooth Criminal and then the other songs followed.
But, for the past few weeks, people who criticized him for once sided with him and mourned his death. I even read an article at the daily news paper entitled "I am not a Michael Jackson fan" which is a great read I have to say. The author is saying that he never was a fan even with the recent death of the artist but he admits that he was influenced or as I can't put it into English "na daanan ng wave ng Michael Jackson".
Suddenly stories about MJ, good or bad, came out of nowhere and fans were suddenly brought to the world were MJ showed who he really was. One such article was forwarded to me by my godmother which was a very nice, touching and funny story that I did not know.
It was a story of a PR Officer in the Manila Hotel where the King of Pop stayed during his concert here. I found out that his concert was in December and the hotel was actually holding a charity event for orphans that they had broadcast to their guest.
On the day before the event, the PR Officer was visited by Michael Jackson's aide and he was asking if he could do anything to help in the Orphan's Charity event. And the PR had suggested that Michael join in the program by giving the kids the loot bags they had prepared and maybe share pictures with the kids. Jackson loved the idea and joined the event.
They are a lot more on the event that made the PR Officer who the man behind the icon was. I also realized that this man was really different when he wasn't signing. When he can, he will do something to help other people.
For all we know, other iconic stars out there maybe hiding another side to them. We sometimes can never really see who is that man behind the fame. And we always just appreciate people when they've already left this Earth.
Why is it that when people die, it is then we appreciate who they really are? -M. Lojo
PS: If you want to read the article just comment me about it. : )

Rizal Is My President
| Rating: | ★★★★★ |
| Category: | Other |
Rizal is my president is based on a book of the same name that states 40 characteristics of being a good leader.
The musical stars our National Heroes, all are in Heaven talking amongst themselves, having tea and eating cheese bread. The heroes are Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, Antonio Luna, Gabriella Silang, Marcel H. Del Pilar and at the far corner typing away on a laptop is Jose Rizal.
Sudden;y, he shouts in outrage as he sees in a website that Pinoys are succumbing to bribes from other people. The other heroes tell him to take it easy and drink his coffee because it is getting cold.
While he does so, Tandang Sora appears and is about to show him something when Rizal remembers that he has someone to visit. Before he leaves, Ninoy Aquino arrives but even before he tells Rizal something, Rizal leaves.
It is revealed that the other heores have a plan. They have made a petition to God to bring back Rizal to the Philippines so that he could run for President. They all love the plan, only problem is Rizal will not agree to it.
The play continuous with the heroes trying to convince him while another person, a mother of a modern day youth who passed away also convinces Rizal to go back but not to run just to go back and inspire someone to lead.
I loved it. Seriously! I did thou not understand some of the dialogue but the lessons in the musical are very clear. But I would love to have a copy of the script. It is absolutely a great musical and I could watch it again if I could.
I would also love to recommend the book of the same title.
RIP King of POP
I never really intended to surf the net at this early time in the morning. But I went ahead and went online.
When I got to my Yahoo Mail, the news widget said that Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital.
Twitter was so filled with users that it was delayed uploading posts for like 7 minutes. But in the end I got through to TMZ, Ryan Seacrest and Ashton Kutcher's Twitters are confirming that Micheal Jackson passed aways @ 3 pm in Los Angeles. So about this morning our time.

Si Ako at ang Tres Muskiteros
| Rating: | ★★★★★ |
| Category: | Movies |
| Genre: | Comedy |
It has a very simple storyline to it. Three brothers who are blessed with an opportunity to star in their very own film along with two other beginner actresses. The movie they are going to star in is called 'Tres Muskiteros', a moive like the Three Musketeers.
Only problem is one of the new actresses named Maria is actually going to inherit her father's richess ...if she could only find it. Maria comes from a family of monarchies and her family holds wealth beyond any. But a secret royal family plans to use that wealth to take over the world.
What seemed to be a movie fantasy turn real when the Rival Royal Family kidnaps Maria. It's up to the Tres Muskiteros to rescue her, find the treausre and finish taping the movie for them to be hired for a sequel.
This movie stars no other then the best comedic trio, TVJ. Very funny and very simple story. The movie is a great and a must watch. Only problem is it was made back in 1982 and I think we can only watch at the PBO channel. It has another screening on June 19 at 11:30 am. Catch it if you can! It really is a good movie.

I Just DID!! -- CJ Salas
Hehe, remember when CJ spoke those words in the play for a Health project? He said this line to Thea, a teacher with a mental disorder.
Yung nakakabelieve sa line na yun, is kung paano niya sinabi. Sobrang galing. With distinction yung pagka-deliver niya.
That memory started this entry.
Mga fellow seniors and esp sa mga Vianney-nnians! May natatandaan pa ba kayo na memorable quotes nung 4th Year tayo.
Isa ko pang naaalala is si Melvin. Isang time nung nag-papractise kami for Buwan Ng Wika. Na-suspend yung classes ng mga 11 o 12 na ata. Sigaw siya ng "This is the best day of my entire Life."
Syempre di din natin makakalimutan ang "It's the Final COUNTDOWN" ni Junnel pag malapit ng mag 3:15.
Yung mga nagtago ng Quote Notebook dyan. Anu pa nga ba yung mga quotes sa classroom?

Holy Week
My mom said that in Holy Week sacrifice is giving up something that you love and like to do.
Like one of my aunts gave up watching her favorite TV show for the whole season of Lent.
I made a list of my own.
For the whole week I won't visit Facebook or even Pet Society. I also won't watch Yu-Gi-Oh for the whole week and believe me it's hard for someone like me.
Also I'm not reading and watching any of the Harry Potter books and films. And another for Friday, I won't play Tekken 5 for the whole day. Plus fasting and abstinence.
We may complain when we do something we don't want to do but just remember back then Jesus suffered just for us. He could have chosen not to do it but he did and nothing compares to that.

The movie is like a parody of Aliens VS Predators. A human doctor with a cockroach head, an idiot blob, a half-breed fish with breast, a giant sized about to marry girl, a wierd and stupid US President and of course ALIENS with tentacles.

Monster VS Aliens isn't just a fun filled movie. Nope wait that is what it only has to offer.

The Time of My Life
March 27, 2009.
This was supposed to have been written yesterday. But who in their right mind would not go to bed after having their gradutaion and graball?
**
In the morning was the Graduation itself. One that we practised for and the day we saw as our last day as a high School student.It was our last official day in Veritas Parochial School.
Of course having a big family, I brought everyone. My grandparents, my aunts and uncles, my godparents and my cousins. Of course I wouldn't forget to bring my parents and my sister.
I sang in the choir, read a prayer of the faithful and received two medals. I also received a bouquet of White Roses.
Thanks to my grandparents for giving me Fully Booked GCs, to Tita Dedes & Tita Oe for the Dart Board, to Tita Niña for the card, money and bookmark, to Tito Cirilo, Tita Tong and Issa for the money also and of course to my parents and sister for giving me Tekken 5 DR for PSP!
Then we had lunch at Bangus. Being a Catholic we honored the no meat every Friday. Seafood Galore!
**
When I got home, I rushed to finish the video I intended not to join in the Movie Maker contest but since there are only contestants, i had to finish it.
It was nothing compared to EMP's video but thanks for the moral support guys!
**
Then it came.
The night thea worked so hard for.
Our Supreme Senior Bash! Our Graduation Ball.
It was such a fun night! I ate, I chatted with my friends, I danced (yeah you read right) to the music and mostly took pictures with my friends.
The night was spent mostly with of course my best friend. Thanks Webmaster for making that night special. Hehe, saya din eh noh.
**
Pretty much that was a great night and what a night we'd consider our last as a Senior High School Student.
I'll miss everyone in STRONG! LOUD! PROUD! SENIORS GO! Batch. The best batch ever! (Like I would have any other batch
)
Well that's it.
Can't Believe, It's finally here
It's the end of another year
We've been through a lot
We've been through it all
United we stand, divided we fall
All the friends, that we've made
The teachers we met 'long the way
Nothing compares to these feeling we've got
Breaking away we're finally free
We raise a toast and let us celebrate
It's time for us to move on and graudate
Made the most of the time that we spent
This is the proudest in our lives that could ever happen
Wish we could stay, for one more day
Reach to friends and say
This is the part, were we embrace the end
Won't feel 'nything like High School again
We reached the skies, and touch the stars
Never knew we could've gotten that far
We had the time of our lives
Being With you it felt so right
We raise a toast and let us celebrate
It's time for us to move on and graudate
Made the most of the time that we spent
This is the proudest in our lives that could ever happen!
THIS IS THE PROUDEST DAY IN OUR LIVES THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN!
