wishing things were better..

i spent the afternoon attending my convocation ceremonies at the university. here's the deal. i finished my last semester on december 2009, i officially graduated on february 2010 and i was part of the spring convocation today (june 2010).

no other photos with my grad cap and gown on, because my parents are corny!
attending the ceremonies was only for formalities' sake. technically speaking, i have my grad photos and diploma with me already so all i received from the stage is a folder with this...


i decided to wear the voom by joy hann dress that i got from fashionistette. and i know, i've been wearing this red cardigan more often, but i can't help it. doesn't it look good with the denim dress?


outfit: joy hann dress, divi cardigan, payless tights, aldo wedges
oh and yeah, as you would have noticed, i had the camera with me in my seat so the point of view was quite interesting, yes?

proper way to pronounce my name

entrance: going to our seats

fellow grads and the audience

going to the stage now..

my parents in the audience

with the dean (this was on stage too!)
now im back to normal unemployment mode. this was taken the night before while i was busy trying to find jobs online. aaaahhh!

hehe your skirt reminds me of the uniform skirts i used to wear in grade school. you are totally reinventing it though! =D

omg! i totally know what you mean! i went to an all-girls school back in the days and this was the style of our skirt, except that it was plaid and longer. oh now that you reminded me, here's a shot of me sleeping back in highschool with my uniform! hahaha!

  14. Congratulations, my dear :) I hope you'll find a job soon, JUST PERSEVERE! :D and I hate how the convocation announcer likes (maybe not intentionally) to butcher non-western names. They totally butchered K R I S T A N I A. Come on, how hard can it be???

    And yes, love that dress on you, very flattering especially on the upper half ;) And the red cardigan goes really well with the denim shade.

    And yes, I also went to all girls highschool before I came here. And we also had the checkered pleated skirt as one of our uniforms! Fun times... hahaha :)

  16. Hey there, I graduated in Dec like you, it does feels weird having to go back and "graduate" I wish I could have words of wisdom I am stilllll looking for a career that uses my degree! I went on so many interviews after graduating that it can be sad when you don't get anything! So keep strong you are not the only one looking online. One word of advice you may have to suck it up and get a part time job (like me) while you are looking for a job employers don't seem to like it when you are "off work,& looking" I am sure you will find something that you love soon:)

  22. First of all congratulations!!!! I am very happy for your graduation and wish you the best in finding a job and pursuing a career that you truly enjoy. Second of all, it is almost freakishly scarry how much our stories are alike. I also graduated officially in winter of '09 but did my walk in Spring, a little earlier than you but almost the same. I quit my temporary job about a month ago and am now unemployed, lol. It's ok though, I'm sure things will be better for us both.

    Oh, and I am new to your blog, but already it is my second visit. Expect more :)
