Plan B I was looking forward for our Bora trip. I was all so psyched about traveling on a cruise liner and finally setting foot on the white sands of Boracay. I already asked Tiepee to be my summer shopping buddy. I was preparing myself to walk and basically live with my stomach tucked in. I already said, “yes” to my dear yfc gals. I already got my permission from Daddy until this morning. I woke up with our helper greeting me with a message from mommy. She said, “Hold on to the ticket fare.” I sensed it coming. I knew that they would be seizing my permission to leave before graduation. And they did. They all conspired to it. They said that they have taken good care of me for the last 20 years and they just would not test fate now. They would not risk not seeing me march on the 22nd. Nobody was on my side. No matter how I beg, no matter how much I show them that I sooo need this trip, they just would not let me. Good thing, I have a plan b. I still would be out of the metro on the 11th. We’ll be going to the year-end party of StatSoc, which reminds me… I can’t hibernate yet. But today, is truly the first ever day that I am completely acad-worry free! Feels sooo good.
