I was particularly upset today because Jevie didn't had the time to at least join me my last lantern parade as an undergrad student in UP. It was like he broke a tradition that we both started ever since I was a freshman. I hated myself so much for I have no one to really be with this night -- not a single soul cared to spare me some of their time. I felt like a sore loser not to have a "real" friend by my side.
On the lighter note, my sister was such a blessing because she somehow "adopted" me today. I watched the parade with her and her group of friends-- Luis, Caleb, Cons, Lara, Nikki and Tammy. Luckily, they were all very nice so I didn't have a hard time mingling with them. I look happy the whole day when in fact inside, I was bleeding to death.
The parade was amazing. It really showcased how talented and creative UP students can be. I would have been nicer if my college created a lantern that is more competitive. My favorite is the one made by an FA class, wherein the contemporary oble did the papaya dance! :) It was really hilarious. Another favorite lantern is the Ikotron, again made by an FA class, where the Ikot jeepney transforms to a robot. It was really cool! :)
To end the night, there was a fireworks display sponsored by Beta Epsilon. This was one of the best and longest I've ever seen since freshman. I was also amazed how the fireworks where synchronized with the music. My mouth was open the whole time. Hands down to Beta Ep!
My last lantern parade would have been happier and more special if I were with the people I'm expecting to be with. It hurts how things ended up the exact opposite of how I anticipated it to be.
