Feb 9, 6-12MN. SOFITEL

I suppose I am breaking my promise to myself that I will not blog about my prom. But Kahlil's post inspired me to do so. (hahaha :P) Let's all start at the beginning.

I woke up to a rough morning, the stylist was early and I had to shower. As usual, I hate being rushed. But then, I woke up much later than usual (guess the reason).

My whole prep period involved lots of tugging and hairspray and curlers on my head. Globs and globs of foundation and last minute tricks to my black dress.

BTW, the dress was gorgeous. Well for me that is. And the heels were not too tall to intimidate people. And tall enough for me to enjoy the night without killing my feet (unlike most girls that night)

I arrived early and my rents accompanied me to find the registration. I saw the SMYM, and tapped them on the shoulder. I almost laughed at their surprised faces when they saw me. Good thing I was early, so not to bug my dress much. My mom was fussing throughout the pre prom. She was all retouch here. I talked to them a lot.

My classmates are all in glam and glitter. I can't believe it, like really. When the entourage came, I was paired up with Albert Quintana, who unfortunately, despite my low heels, looked smaller than me. I told him to slow down because we almost tripped at the first step. Somehow, we got through unscathed. After we all got seated, the programme started with all this turn over ceremony. We kidded about the seats and gossiped about the people around us. Our table was soo...hyped up. Then Dinner was served, the soup was ..nakakaumay, I barely ate the pasta but I swipped tiramisu fast. Our table counted up to our classmate Kyle, seeing how much time t takes for him to finish the food. We laughed as his record was 15 seconds. After dinner, the awards were announced, Michelle fretted with the prom princess as she was all ready to take the crown. :P Eudes won the prom prince and the prom royalties led the first dance.

Trisha and I zipped to the restroom for a quick fresher. She kept stepping on my dress and I keep steppin on hers. Somehow, our gowns were still intact when we got back.

--the dance part

Suprisingly, my first dance was Alyssa, it was a joke and we kept laughing at each other for some reason.

Andrei was my second then Kuya Joshua, I told him I was hiding, and we both laughed. We had a great conversation that our dance lasted 2 songs. Then the fast dances. We had a group circle of Clare, I was so caught up at the music and Kahlil was looking at me warily, pointing out how I dance too much then imitates it. Mira was my fast dance partner as she also told alyssa, what a party maniac I am. (That I take a surprise compliment).

Afterwards was Frans (we looked complete opposite as he was in white I was in black), James (which Kahlil didnt too subtly hint me the first year thing), Kahlil (where we hurled off on plans)> Mark (with our gender bender type of slow dance. which was fun) Eudes (where Mr. Prom Prince was too gritty and stiff) Bob (cold hands) Raymart(too tall) SMYM members (hahaha, Syd and I are still opposition)

i rocked a complete set of party songs as I changed groups constantly, with Kruhay and Clare. I felt like I didnt tire at all. We had a kruhay showdown at a part of the dance floor. We also got to take a group pictures (one for clare, one for kruhay). And gulped water fast. Feeling weird that I never tire of singing and dancing.

sweet bits:
-Mirabelle and Lue are crazy dancers. They inspire me

-Most clare girls are all blah and sat down most of the time

-Kahlil finally got the nerve to ask her to dance as I screamed girlishly in kilig (dare!)

- Hedda got the dance of her life with "O" which she enjoys

- Alyssa danced with me in a lot of crazy songs.

-Almost everyone took their heels off

- Kruhay people are very loud, even with loud music and a group of even louder musical screams. Despite the fact that it was just the Juniors and The Seniors.

The dance was so random as well. The party music was all eighties then rock then modern. The sweet songs are all olde. Not too old but like not really the prom kinda song sweet old. As everyone tired down, The slow dance started, I fell to a chair and rested for awhile. Someone unexpected asked me the last dance, Eudes. I was flabbergasted. Not only was I not expecting anyone to ask me, much more i didnt expect him at all. I looked around and saw that Alyssa was not there, and completely understood why.
