Our Sapphire Anniversary!
The Meaning of Pearl
Altho the pearl is known more as the birthstone for June, and therefore the gem of choice of brides, it is also the symbol of a 30th anniversary. It is traditionally considered as the first gem, as its beauty is readily seen, requiring no cutting and polishing to reveal its true value. It is a gift of a living creature, carrying with it a depth and luminosity that makes it seemingly glow from within, a pearl's distinctive luster. It is a metaphor for life, virtue, love, wisdom, justice, spirituality and righteousness.
It is our country's national gemstone and the Philippines is best known for its champagne-colored South Sea pearls, ranging from creamy yellow to deep gold.

Theresians All
I marched the green grass brown and loved-hated every moment.
I worked and got scared and grew strong in Tondo and cried
when it was time to leave.
I kept a record of grammatical errors that I heard, right beside the record of mannerisms that I saw.
I loved the retreats and hoped that they would last forever.
I wished upon a lot of stars and chased a lot of rainbows
I believed in a lot of things and fought for them...
I was a Theresian.
Our Class graduated from St. Theresa's College QC, on March 28, 1978. There were 151 graduates at that time, but our Class encompasses all those who were our classmates at St. Theresa's, from the time we completed kindergarten in 1967, our elementary education in 1974, our high school in 1978, and the years in between.
