OK, I will be getting my car on Thursday because I need it to drive to the concert venue on Friday (at SM MOA Arena in Pasay) as my best friend and the girls will be watching that Kpop concert while I wait for them in some coffee shop. But I would have to return the car on August 4 for the finishing touches on my car.

I should be returning it on the 31st but I received an email from my undergrad college that I am being invited to be their keynote speaker for their Testimonial and Recognition Rites a.k.a. College-wide rites on 3 August. Therefore I need my car.

I was floored.

Hello…only famous people get invited to be keynote speakers in UP graduation rites.

I’m not famous. I don’t have anything of significance. I don’t know…

Anyway, it is an honor to speak before them. I’m scared at the same time.

I drafted my speech and sent copies to my mom, my best friend, and the chair of the graduate school who is also my sister in my Greek-letter organization in college. Both my sis and my bff said my speech is strongly worded. My mom already wanted it to share to other people. I told my mom, hold your horses, just share it after my actual speech since it will still evolve.

It will be live streamed. I wonder how this will fare as whatever I will say will ruffle some feathers. Many feathers.

I need a new dress and shoes. 🥰
