Missed iBlog4 for this

UP Diliman and its various colleges held recognition rites and the commencement exercise over the weekend. I really wanted to go to iBlog4 but, alas, I was issued a memo by the college that I’d be one of the emcees for CAL’s recognition rites.
As a spin made by the organizers, they got every department’s most junior and senior faculty members to introduce the graduates. Unfortunately for me, I am the most junior. Representing the senior faculty for our department was Dr. Adel Lucero (who happens to be Ia’s mom.)
I got dressed up (in barong and sablay) to speak only a few lines. I got baked in the afternoon sun, and had to sit through a valedictory address that wasn’t really as moving as a valediction should. (Come on. If “I dared to dream” isn’t cliche then tell me what is.)
The things I do for the college.
At least Tony Gloria (the guest of honor) had some very sensible words to share with everyone.

Actually my mom has a blog, which is on Stellify too, but she keeps forgetting about it.
There was a livestream of iBlog on the net so I got to watch part of it even if I wasn’t there:
