ciyee2 gw!

so, sunday may 14th 2006, i walked with 13 other advertising masters in the college of communication - u of i graduation. it was a cool and chilly day.

the day started when etta came by to help me get dressed. i wore a semi-kebaya with a sarong that took calculation and determination to put on. thank god, etta was there or i would've driven myself crazy.

costume & make up by etta suretta... :D

went to campus with alex & susie and we then lined up with all the other grads: jennifer, holly, whitney, derek, keelah, julie, double-brett, keelah, sukwoo, helen and wil. too bad the camera was with my friends, so we didn't take any pics beforehand (not such a smart decision)

the ceremony itself was pretty entertaining, cuz our speaker, a u of i alumn, an exec vp at anheuser-busch ran his bud ads and played a real cool spoof on the real men of genius ad just for us comm-grads. so, i can say by far, it was one of the koolest graduations i've ever been to.

by the time the procession was over it was raining out, and my fellow graduates disappeared. i looked for my indo family first, finding them to still be in the auditorium. so we took pictures & stuff and finally headed for FLB for some punch and cookies. Evidently all my friends had left. ran into sukki and pv on their way out and took pics. it sucked that i couldn't take pics with all my friends. but the weather was so unaccomodating that everybody just seemed to want to get away.

so somebody insisted to include the vase in the picture

thanks for the gorgeous flowers luvs...but really that vase was extremely heavy - certainly got my biceps to work hard!
