I was on campus for more than fourteen hours, tending to academic attires, college sashes, giddy department chairs, spicy chicken, terrible camera zoom functions, complicated instructions, and eventually, our emotions. Not everybody might have cried, but it sure was the closest thing to the end - and the end's on Saturday. More photos from Anna Abola, Kris Balingit and Jackie Uy.
And it starts with this
Supposedly long lines...
...quickly dispersed
Attire-fitting
I thought I knew who they were...
And yes, that's my cap
Naomi and Edsel in a state of fuzz
Edsel's been a bum...
...and Naomi's still covering up

Oh, and Malia too

The director and the writer 1 Comment
Naomi's had her hair straightened
Char, Kris and curly Mimi
Jason is a little late
Jason's so-called "man purse"
Isn't the sun cooperative?
Malia's doña look
Jason tries on the cap
More future contemplation
Perhaps for the bored ones, no...
How do you wrap it up?
Kaymee at the equipment room
She's still sober here

The AB-CAM graduates' dressing room
Pull out the stops!
Well-documented, isn't it?
Ariane, Jackie and Kaymee
Burton's got a few terms to go
Calm down, Kaymee...
Naomi and Mang Ed
Still for repair
Camera testing
And eyeliner, yes
Someone has a DSLR! Duck!
Playing with headroom
Karla's got a class, but... 1 Comment
Lynne and Elaine at the editing bay
And, in contrast, our trash
Trix starts looking for people
Looks like we'll never be done
Watching game number six
Miss Agnes takes a peek
That's Mar's back
Registration at the recognition rites
Sars and John
See? Not all seats are full (yet)
It's farewell already?
Ariane and Kaymee
Our row of communicators
Flip out the phones
Looking for who?
A slightly eerie moment
Rows and rows of seats
The awardee line with the dean
I told you it's chaotic
And that's Ariane's certificate
Sam's singing... no, not you, biter Sam
That moment with Miss Diaz
We almost took Jackie's moment
"Proud to be CLA," says the dean
The long line's over
Hail, hail, hail!
And one more time!
Should we have refreshments?
Nah, let's have KFC for lunch!
The seating negotiations
Should we sit here?
Now there's the chicken
And minutes later...
Kaymee wants more?
Jason's charm works... terribly 1 Comment
Gravy!
Finish it up, we've a mass...
Sudoy somewhere below
Psychology camwhore moment
Anna does her own photos
I liked this candid, weirdly
Anna doesn't want these photos, but...
The baccalaureate program

Cover blown!
The holy water gets tossed
That's better

The front row chatter
Did I really take these photos?
Your turn
Naomi, the advocate of evil
Mooie bends her head that way again
Waiting for Milan...
Is Milan there?
And she finally spots him
Well, not really
More long lines
The descend towards... the first floor
Meg can't figure her camera out
Something's amiss...
Randomly, Mafe
I told you I'll get a candid
Mar and Fatzi
Iza stages a comeback
Wait... where do I look?
Cams and Neil
The lone non-graduate... sort of
Graduate overload
Neil does his photography
Ashley and Fatzi
Mar's own doña moment 1 Comment
I think Char doesn't like the idea
Mimi? Well...
Anna covers up
The psychology congratulatories
And the behavioral science peeps
The usual Kris pose
Zay (or Zey, if you're Mara)
Class picture-taking starts early
Get here!
A sense of perspective
Sars manages to catch up
It seems sparse, but no
There goes Jackie's pin
Get your stuff and leave
Sars seems desperate
I did this four months ago...
