AC Day. It was a REUNION.
Today is Assumption Day or AC Day! It's the Feast of Our Lady of the Assumption -- it was the day that Mary was received into heaven. It's a feast that all Assumption girls and boys celebrate every August 15. It's a feast that must have a very special celebration. As an old Assumption girl, it's really a tradition for me to attend mass in the Assumption Chapel. It was a tradition for me since I was 4 years old. That's why, I went to school this afternoon to attend mass.
Last week, my former Assumption batchmates were asking me if I will attend mass on Assumption Day and I said "yes". I'm really excited to see my batchmates again. I super miss them.
So, I arrived in Assumption at exactly 5:00pm for the mass. I was so amazed that some of my former batchmates were already there. I'm so excited to talk to them again and well, share stories about our own experiences in college. We've been separated for almost 4-5 months and I really miss them. This is what you truly feel after graduation, missing your highschool batchmates so much!
During the mass, I really realized that life after graduation is happy, yet sad. I remembered all my highschool memories when I sang the Assumpta Est Maria, Song of Mary and Prayer of MME. After all, we still remembered all our roles in singing those songs. I enjoyed singing them again and again. After the mass, I had the chance to talk to my former batchmates. We were so excited to talk to one another that we almost forgot being in our best behavior and we were so loud again. Well, that's the real thing when you miss each other and you've got loads of things to talk to and share.
Some of my former batchmates and I had a simple reunion. We attended the mass together and ate dinner together. I enjoyed the simple gathering and simple reunion. Assumption Day brought us together again and I'm so thankful for it. We really didn't miss the most important celebration in our lives. We even had the chance to go around our school campus again. We reminisced our Assumption moments again. Well, I miss wearing my red skirt, sitting in the field, go around the school oval and do lots of things that an Assumption girl does. I just miss my Assumption days.
Right now, I really want to come back to Assumption. It is where I truly belong. It is where I almost spent my childhood years. It is where I almost grew in. I'm so proud to be an old Assumption girl. And I super miss being an Assumptionista.
And by the way, I ENVY YOU (those who wore their gala uniforms). I super miss wearing my gala uniform. GRRRR :((
HIGHSCHOOL BATCH 2009 -- I super miss you. I love you, guys.
Hope to see you again soon! :D
