Hello po uli mga tao, haha
thanks to my bes, Rovy, for remembering a whole lot of the details regarding the grad ball..
makalimutin kasi ako eh....hehehe

Pagdating ng around 3 in the afternoon, nagsimula na akong magprepare for the ball... aba, nagkuskos talaga ako ha! (gusto kasi ni bes na mabango ako eh! hahahaha) oo nga pala, i had a debate with my ma tungkol dun sa isusuot ko sa ball. i wanted to wear my dark blue na long sleeved polo, pero due to unforeseen circumstances (tumaba ako...) masikip na siya! therefore, ma bought me some new polos... pero light blue! waaaaaaaaaaa... pero no choice eh... kasalanan ni jabee yan... hahaha nagulat na lang ako nung makita ko sarili ko sa mirror... THANK YOU MA!!! bumili nga rin pala siya ng bouquet and "corsage" for my date... of course, di pwedeng mawala yung tulip! dagdag sweety points! hahaha

bago ako umalis, napansin ko na lang na wala pala si da! di pa naman ako marunong magtie ng... tie.... hahahaha kaya ayun, humabol si da para maiayos niya... Thank you din po da!

Thank you din pala kay tita nel! pinahiram niya ako ng sorento for the ball! thank you din kay kuya candoy for driving me and meh date to the ball... dami naman... hahahahaha

pagdating ko sa dorothy barnes salon sa may fairview, bigla akong nanlamig... its time...

yung di ko talaga makalimutan nung pumunta ako dun sa salon is after seeing my sweety in her dress, bigla ba namang sinabi nun bading na hairdresser:

"..ei Rovy, eto na ang 'yong knight in shining armor.."

haha, narun pa naman yung ma ni bes! hahahaha (Note: SObrang ganda ni Rovy sa dress nya, bigla akong natulala...)

nung pasakay na si bes sa car, bigla ba namang may mga nahulog na mga papel niya from her book! pinulot ko na lang lahat... dagdag sweety points uli...

ano ba naman yan... nakalimutan kong ilagay sa likod yung bouquet! ayun tuloy, nakita agad ni rovy... anyhoo, at least i got her favorite flowers...

ano ba naman yan..yung corsage na binili ni ma, wala pa lang ribbon! tumawag pa ako sa bahay just to confirm it... ok naman, maganda pa rin si bes kahit wala yun eh... did i mention na ba kung gano ka ganda yung dress ni bes? nagkaroon lang ng slight almost-problem... may pagkabackless ng konti yung dress niya.. so nagkaron ako ng slight apprehension.. pero naisip ko rin na bahala na, anong magagawa nila? di nila kami papapasukin? pagchachapakin ko sila eh! hahaha

as i feared, masyado pa kaming maaga! biruin mo ba naman, 5.30 pa lang, nandun na kami! eh ayoko namang mainitan si bes kaya nagstay muna kami dun sa car until 6, nakikinig sa cd na binigay niya sakin nung v-day.. pinicturan kami ni kuya nung pagbaba namin kasi lagot siya kay ma kung hinde eh! hahaha

nung nag reg na kami, pinakilala ko siya kay mammy siega.. and to a whole lot of other people... of which i don't have much a memory about...hahaha oh yeah...yung isa nga pala sa mga greeters sa ball was the 3rd year na cluster head ng team sports. kay nung pag daan ko, may kasama pang " welcome to the grad ball, Sir George" Naks! dagdag sweety points uli! hahahaha

nagpakuha kami ng puics namin after sa studio... sabi mag paka sweet daw kami... which of course we did! hahaha after that, pumunta na kami dun sa table namin... after the bomb check... hahahahahahahaha nga pala, nalaman na rin namin kung sino yung mystery table 4th partner... sila kix! yung iba were mats and belle, taks and carlo, and kami ni rovy...

at last, makakakakain na kami! pero come to think about it, ang konti lang ng kinain ko! inaapektuhan nga ako ni bes! hahaha pero si bes, and dami!!!!! may "a little bit of everything" ka pang nalalaman ah... hahaha nahilo nga lang ako dun sa chocolate fondue... ang tapang eh... di rin nagustuhan ni bes kasi masyadong matamis...

nga pala... a step in development... di na ako addict sa baraha! its not nice to waste my time on cards when im with someone special... pero nanalo naman ako nung sumali ako ng 1, and only 1, game.. ahehehehe

ah.. the most special part of the night... one i have always dreamed of since last years botched prom...

...the dance

of course, i would be a fool to pass this up... habang naglalaro pa sila josh, ininvyt ko si rovy to dance... and it seems so painfully obviuos that i can't dance...hahaha pero di bale na, its my last chance.. what the hell... after a while, umupo kami to rest... pero the slow dance was just about to start...

i stood up..

held out one hand..

and i asked her...

"Rovy, would you care to dance?"

(yikee, kinikilig ako! hahaha)

after the king and queen of the ball finished the first dance, nagkakailangan pa kung sino sasayaw... so i led her to the floor... and we danced... it didn't seem to matter to me who else was around... we just danced... and it was a dream come true for me...

it just felt so right...

i danced with her and only her throughout the slow dance... because i saw no one else but her... and it was all i could ever ask for...

we went to eastwood a little later, para may post prom kahit papano, pero i brought her home din after an hour... nag punta kami sa oj's for a little snack... after scouring the entire area of eastwood... hahaha of course naman, di ko siya pinainom na kahit aanong alcoholic drinks...

the other thing that i remembered, and loved to remember was the ride home...

medyo inaantok na ako nun eh.. nakapikit pa nga ako..

and then, all of a sudden...

i felt something on my left cheek...

yikee!

when we got home, i kissed her on the cheek din after i said thanks for the wonderful nyt...

after that...

i kissed her again...

because the first one wasn't enought to show how much i appreciated what she did for me...

that has to be one of the best nights of my life...

and everything seemed to go so right...

i thought it would never end...

but it had to...

still, it means not that we cease to live...

nor do we lock up our emotions...

call me old-fashioned...

but that's what something (or someone) special to me means...
