I am dedicating this blog post to all the graduates this October 2009, especially my brother and his friends over at Our Lady of Fatima University in Valenzuela.

My only sibling, my beloved brother (naks), Kenneth, graduated today, October 11th, 2009. He graduated with a degree in BS Nursing. Their graduation was held at PICC at 12noon today.

I'm glad that he gave in when I asked him to attend his graduation ceremony so our parents and I can attend with him. I told him that it's going to be his gift to our Nanay for everything she sacrificed and did for us to get proper education. I know that deep inside, my brother still wanted to attend his graduation but is just keeping this crazy thought that attending his own graduation ceremony is NOT COOL. C'mon. Whoever thought of that MUST be crazy, right?

Anyway, Mai and I went back here in Malabon for a vacation and, of course, for my brother's graduation. Unfortunately, though, Mai couldn't stay longer 'coz of responsibilities back in Cebu (our internet cafe). Only my whole family was able to attend my brother's graduation.

I was supposed to be the photographer but unfortunately, I failed to take decent photos and videos DURING the ceremony. There were some "technical" difficulties PLUS my brother's "SHYNESS" (I call it kaartehan, honestly) so I only got to take 2 photos of him and they were not even of average quality. And that's why I'm not going to post them. Okay, I'll post the video on Youtube and will post it below this paragraph later. (Wow. Real-time/Live blogging. Huh? Never mind hehehe)

Good thing my brother brought his Canon digital camera with him the whole time so he was able to capture some photos of him (with the help of his friends) before and during the ceremony. I took most of the photos after the ceremony so he'd have photos with his friends who also graduated today.
Of course, we had some photos taken with him, too. Good thing our Tatay was able to enter the theater where the ceremony was held so we could take photos with him inside the theater.

After the photo shoot (naks), we went to Aristocrat in Roxas for dinner and as our celebration for Kenneth's graduation. Here are some photos I took:

We ordered Lechon Kawali, Chopsuey, Pansit Bihon, Sisig, and Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet. Kenneth also ordered Pork Barbecue. Yum! Here are photos of the food we ordered and us dining.

After dinner, we went straight home. They're now all sleeping but me. I just wanted to finish downloading, editing and uploading all the photos we took today because I'm tired of me procrastinating yet again hehehe.

Lastly, I would like to show you the digiscrap page I made for my brother for his graduation.

To Kenneth: Congratulations, kapatid! Words aren't enough to describe how proud I am of you and what you've accomplished so far. I know you have a long journey ahead of you but I know you'd do great things! I love you so much, bro! Sorry if I can't stay 'til your birthday but I hope you know that you're in my heart and mind wherever I am.

Like what I said on the scrap page I made for you, wherever you go, whatever the weather, always bring your own SUNSHINE. 'Coz you are on top of my list of people who bring sunshine to my life. Whatever you decide to do in the future, I'm always here to back you up. And you should know by now that you got Nanay and Tatay's support, too.

Again, my beloved brother, CONGRATULATIONS!!
