Captured in the garden of St. Francis Seminary. From left to right: Anne, Erasme, Anselmo and Arnulfo. All of them, smiling from ear to ear. Anselmo is wearing the graduation regalia of the St. Francis Seminary's Faculty of Sacred Theology. Three gold medals rest upon his chest. He is also holding a bouquet.

Today, I finally graduated from SThB.
And I did not expect anyone to attend for me.
It's not an important event, anyways. After all, hindi pa naman talaga 'to ang dulo. We are still expected to extend for two more years.
But somehow, in the middle of the ceremony, I found the little Erasme Ferrera inside the venue. With a bouquet in her hand. Beside her is her mom, Tita Anne.
And my father.
I don't know how she was able to do it. I don't know how she managed.
And I'm too afraid to ask the why.
All I know now is that I have to marry this girl someday.
