18
The pleasant night exuded an aura of magnificence as the busy streets outside signaled the usual hostility of friday night. Last night was really an event to remember.
There was a rush of sweet familiar feeling as I got dressed for the kill. I felt two years younger but my eye bags proved otherwise. (The stress I'm getting in college is way too different than in high school...sigh) A pang of fear hit me as I slipped my foot on my pointy black leather shoes. I didn't know why... I am quite weighing something in my head -- "did love fail me or did I fail love?"...either way, I know my feelings toward my sweet Hanna are not relatively the same as before...
Maybe I'm confused...maybe I'm sleepy and tired...or maybe I'm just lacking in vitamins.
Anyhow, my best buddy Ramch gave me a hitch to Emily's special occasion. I was again affirmed by God to stick to my old, time-tested friends because they are really the ones whom I could call "family." Two people know that they're best of friends even when they don't call themselves that way (e.g. bestfriends)...it is an unspoken truth between the two of them, an implicit law in their relationship.
We got there first. The Sulu (sulu or sulo - I don't know which is right) hotel was blessed with sexy and pretty lady ushers and bartenders (hehe). As I was saying...Ramch and I were the first guests/cotillion dancers to arrive there. However, it didn't take long for us to wait as one by one, the ballroom's lobby was filled with guests and friends alike. Familiar faces shone more brightly than the rest. Ace was there, Mauricio (francis arlan)..Ange...Froilan...…Guido...of course Audie and Gen and Mikko..
As for my most awaited girl -- she went in the hall when I least expected it. She said she was going to be late, but then she arrived just in time ('coz everybody came in "late" technically..kasi 7:30 tlga ung nkalagay sa invitation letter..eh wla p msyadong tao hanggang mga 8:30). Hanna was so beautiful; I got damn jealous of the guys feasting their eyes on her. I've never seen her like that - ang galing ng make-up, kakaiba. Her lips were colored brownish, and the rest...I don't know how to describe it. (I really wish I could have my very own digital cam)
The rest of the night dragged along marvelously. I got to dance with the debutant, my friend, Emily. =D ganun pla ung 18 roses...at ganun din pala ung 18 chocolates! So cool. Prinsesa talaga sya kagabi..I am one of her friends who felt glad for her last night. May smoke generators pa...may purple torches (pati apoy dapat purple!)...may spinning tall cake...may charge ung pag-cha-charge ng cellphone (P150/hr)...may duty si Ace...at may tama na naman si Mikko--lakas tama sa puso.
I really can't say how much she grew as a person (no pun intended)...and I also can't say how happy she was on that very night.
It's so nice to think that as we all cross the boundary of the past, of immaturity and childish views; we get to drag along with us the persons who have been with us in creating that past, those bright playful days, into the rigors of our dim future.
