Game of Love [ PUBLISHED ]

[ 63.2 ] Graduate

"Honored Guests, our beloved Directress: Mrs. Macalinao, our Principal: Mrs. Balisi, parents, friends, teachers, fellow graduates, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon"

Bahala na! Babanatan ko na to ng english. Kahit papano naman may konti akong naaalala sa speech ko e.

"This afternoon I stand before you with a single purpose and that purpose is to sincerely extend my deepest gratitude to those people who became a part of my success and to leave you the words of my heart which have found a perfect moment to express them in this equally beautiful and triumphant moment. This is the moment when we have finally come to reap the rewards of the 4 difficult years of academic struggles as a high school student. The 4 years that gave us many challenges and trials. We survived so let us enjoy this moment. To all of our teachers, we thank you for all your efforts and patience. We want you to know that all your efforts we're worth it. We have definitely learned a lot from you not only about the subjects you taught but also the things about life and how it should be lived. We salute you all. We will surely miss you. To my family who supported me all the way, I give you my deepest and sincerest gratitude. You deserve my medals and diploma. Mommy and Daddy, I know that words aren’t enough to thank you for everything. I am very thankful that you were my parents. I love you! Seniors, graduate na tayo! I know that this day will be one of the happiest and loneliest moments. It is the happiest because this day, we were in here to receive the tokens of our academic struggle as a high school student. But at the same time, it is the loneliest because we need to say our goodbyes. But for me, it is not the end because the friendship we had will last forever. You guys were like my own brothers and sisters. I am very grateful that I met all of you. Thanks for everything guys. I will miss the “asaran”, “iyakan” and “barahan” moments that we had"

Nakita ko naman na naiiyak na yung iba kong classmates.

"But before I end this speech of mine, I want to share a story about me. This school year has been very difficult for me. I've been into different trials and problems that sometimes I even thought of giving up but I didn't and that's all because of the people around me who believed in me. This school year, I experienced what most of girls at my age are experiencing. It's breaking up with the guy I loved. That break up affected my studies but I'm still lucky that I'm standing here in front of you. I had a tough time dealing with that break up but after that, I became a stronger person. So, I don't want to blame him for that, he's one of the reasons behind my success"

The whole time na sinasabe ko yung tungkol kay Zeke, tinitingnan ko lang si Zeke at nakangiti ako.

"There's also a time when I was dying. It was last November. Who would've thought that I'm going to die at such a young age, right? Because of that incident, I found out how great is the love of this guy for me. I survived and start a new life"

Nakatingin ako ngayon kay Gab. Hindi pa din siya tumitingin sakin hanggang ngayon.

"That guy inspired me. He became my strength all this time. He's always there yet I haven't noticed him earlier. I want to thank you for everything. I know that I'm not the prettiest nor the smartest girl that you know but you still chose to love me. You're not the best looking nor the smartest guy and you're also a jerk at times but I don’t care. You are different and you took a big part in this success. I love you Gabriel Vincent Teppei!"
