I am a part of the alumni of San Gabriel Academy.
I honestly never thought the day would come,
but here I am, a soon-to-be college freshmen!
Well I was going to start this blogging thing after graduation,
but I guess I never really got to it.
SOOOO I suppose I'll start with graduation weekend.
It was such a good weekend.
We had Senior breakfast and rehearsal on Friday.
Friday night was consecration
and that went pretty well.
Adriana Noland and I sang The Climb by Miley Cyrus.
I was sooo nervous, but at least I got through the song. haha
Also Randy Castanaza and Israel Lopez performed a song they wrote called "Class of 2009."
They did such a good job and it was so meaningful. :]]
Coach Agadjanian was the speaker for the night.
I thought he'd cry, but he didn't. haha Oh well!
Then on Sunday, June 7, 2009, was the day.
Graduation had finally come and it was busy from the beginning!
We had to be there by 1:15 pm because it started at 2,
but of course, most of us were late. :]]
I thought I was going to cry, but I actually didn't.
I got a little bit teary-eyed, but didn't really cry.
The most emotional part was when Amanda Hutauruk
played a song that she wrote for the class called "Class of 09."
It was so cool because it was directly for our class. I loved it!
Iki Taimi was our Commencement speaker and he is just awesome.
He really is a crowd pleaser and is able to relate to all ages.
Katie Lee, Amanda Hutauruk, and I did the president's speech.
The reason both of us did it is because we were each president for a year during high school!
It was pretty cool but scary too because I don't like public speaking.
Overall it was a great graduation and we had lots of fun!
After graduation we all hung out in front of White Memorial Church for awhile,
taking pictures, saying bye, and just talking.
Then a lot of my friends and family came to my house and we had a party.
It was cool because the laker game was on!
It was the 2nd Finals game against the Orlando Magics and everyone was so into it!
Luckily, they won!
We had lots of food and had the air hockey table set up.
My whole family was there and I was so happy about that.
Also, set up DDR and Guitarhero, it was fun!
Even a couple of my closest school friends came!
Adriana Noland, her boyfriend Wesley,
Kelvin Duong, his brother Andrew,
Jeremy Lam, and Lewston Morris all showed up at one point!
After majority of the people left,
Jeremy, Kelvin, Andrew, and I all went to William Angkadjaja's house.
He was also having a party and so we decided to stop by.
It was pretty cool!
His mom had her booomb cantaloupe juice and they had lots of food!
We got to hang out with his family,
his mom and dad, sister Tiffany and brother Matthew,
as well as a couple alumni (Chris Ostos and Gerry Waworundeng).
After we finished watching Titanic,
William, Jeremy, Kelvin, and Andrew wanted to come over to my house
and sleepover and watch.. Pride and Prejudice. haha
So they all just spontaneously came and it was fun!
But no one was able to stay up very long, it was a long, fun, tiring day!
The next day we all got up and my mom made like,
a breakfast burrito bar. haha It was pretty good!
Then, Adriana came over and we all went to Universal Studios.
A lot of Seniors went too, about 15! It was awesome!
After Universal, they all came to my house and we watched 50 First Dates.
It was a good movie because all the guys AND girls liked it!
Overall, it was a great weekend and definitely was memorable! :]]
