Graduation is nearly approaching, and I'm much in awe knowing the school days are almost over. It has been a long rollercoaster ride from kindergarten to tertiary years, and I would say, it really took a very, very long time. With all those rigorous requirements and sleepless nights, now I'm finally gradwaiting!
We were scheduled to have our graduation photoshoot. Our college department has been in partnership with a photography studio, and that is Onefine Pictures. So, I went to Robinsons Galleria Cebu early because that was the venue. I arrived at the mall and went directly to the basement 2.
I saw many students already there, including a few of my classmates. So initially, I filled out the registration form and waited for my name to be called. What's good about them is that the package includes hair and makeup. They also offer photo freebies such as family, couple, class, and barkada (friends) shoots.
It's almost my turn, so I've already gone inside and lined up for my hair styling and make-up. After that, we automatically had our shoots wearing formal attire, Filipiniana, and our togas. We also had a creative shoot where we could pick any props or wardrobes we'd love to wear. So far, I got my favorite shot in the creative shoot. We still don't have the softcopies of our photos, though, because they are still being edited by the studio. Anyways, here's some pics with my bff.
During graduations, we also have a photoshoot with this traditional Filipino attire. Normally, this is worn during cultural celebrations or formal events. It's worn together with sablay or the ceremonial sash which symbolizes academic achievement and recognition.
I thankfully finished all my solo pictures, and I admit I really had a hard time during the photoshoot because of my blurry vision. I can't focus on where exactly to look because I can barely see anything HAHAHAHA, but I'm glad the staff were understanding. I can't wear my glasses because the camera flash would reflect on my lens, and it's also nicer if I don't have my eyeglasses on.
After the individual shoots, I then had a photoshoot with my two circles of friends including my thesis buddies. Thesis might have blown up our mind and overall wellbeing but at least we finally did it. Hooray!
