It was my brother’s turn to graduate. The UST College of Architecture’s graduation rites were held at Plaza Mayor in front of the historic Main Building. I had an exam that day, so I just proceeded to the graduation rites after I finished answering the test.

It was quite a long ceremony but the atmosphere was great. Beautiful setting, cool late afternoon and evening breeze, and to cap the rites off, a grand fireworks display the could match a New Year’s fireworks show in Makati.

We had dinner with some relatives and family friends afterwards.
