Last Saturday, I went to Cavite to attend my grade school bestfriend's debut. I couldn't miss this chance to witness this special event in her life. Besides, this would be the first we'll meet again after 6 years.
Mailene, my friend, invited me there weeks before the said party. I think it was months before. Anyway, I was wondering how to get there since this would be my first time to commute there. I asked a lot of friends for directions. Good thing they gave clear ones, so I was able to understand it. :)
So on Saturday, I packed my bags since we planned that I'll sleep over there. I packed everything essential. I even brought our digicam but unfortunately, it won't work there so there are no pictures that night. By 4:30 pm, I was on my way. I rode a jeep and it took me outside our village. Another jeep to Jollibee Lopez (in BF). Another jeep to Southland. Another jeep to Lozada Market. Another jeep to Camella Homes. Lastly, a tricycle that took me to the house. :)
I arrived there by 6:30 pm. 2 hours of commuting. Ack! The last jeepney ride was the longest one. Actually, I spent only about Php35 on my ride to my house to their house. Cheap, huh? But then I took PUJs so it's really cheap. I was really afraid on my way to Mailene's house. It's my first time to commute to a faraway place. Good thing nothing bad happened. :)
When I arrived there, the place was already set up but there were only a few guests. I went inside the house and there were several guests there. Haha. Mai's mom didn't recognize me at first. But after some talks and catching up, I went in Mai's bedroom. She was just getting ready. She was really panicky coz things weren't as she planned. Haha. There were a lot texting her that they can't come to the party. Anyway, I changed attire. I wore that night a pink top I bought at Petit Monde last wednesday. Anyway, it was a cute top, really, and it accents a woman's breast. Haha. It's a conservative top but it hugs your body like a 2nd skin. :) It has a ruched front. So I wore with that top a denim pleated mini skirt. I wore my white strappy high heels. Gimik outfit!
Anyway, Mailene wore this black tube assymetrical dress and with a pink and violet striped halter wraparound. :) Mailene looked really pretty. As usual. Ya know we have the same tastes. Haha. After 30 minutes, she was ready and some of my old friends arrived too. I went out her room and then we were asked to eat dinner already. The food was yummy. I especially liked the meat roll there with this sour cream dressing. So yummy! I ate little actually. Wasn't that hungry anyway. I met my elementary friends again. Erika, Dennylaine.
And then the most anticipated line was said, "Jean, ikaw na ba yan?" I can't help but laugh coz I remember the bet I had with
Mariah. She bet that someone would say that to me. Haha. I'll tell you what I look like back then. I was really skinny, and so darkskinned. With very very straight beautiful hair. Haha. But now, I'm so much fairer than I was. And yes, I've got curves now. Yeah, baby!
Anyway, we had an early dinner. I was hungry from a long trip. But fun prevented me from eating more. Haha. And besides, I'm a lady! And I won't want my stomach to be uber bloated. LOL Anyway, I met Dennylaine's cousins. They were all so tall. Gosh. I wish I was taller. :(
Anyway, the party started. I was one of the 18 candles. I prevented myself from crying. I don't wanna cry, heck! But then, I gave a short cheesy message and I was off. Haha. I so wanted to say more but I guess I was so shy in front coz I barely know everyone. Anyway, I was just so quiet and so so timid. SO NOT ME!
The party started with a prayer, then a couple sung "The Prayer" by Bocelli and Dion. :) It wasn't sung very well. *sigh* After that, some of Mailene's close friends gave messages. Then surprise, Mailene is part of a band! She's the vocalist, together with another girl. LOL I never thought that she's that good in singing. After all, she never joined any contests back then. I remember only me and Arjay joins contests. Haha. Anyway, after about 3 to 4 songs, the 18 candles thing began. Gosh, the 18 roses part was so mushy and sweet. Mostly they were Mailene's exes. Gosh, she really had cute boyfriends. Haha. *Inggit! Anyway, I remember Hernel Joseph Matias. <-- Full name! I won't ever forget him. He's our crush in UPHR. In fact, he was Mailene's first boyfriend. Sigh. I always knew then that they would have a relationship. That's because I left! :) LOL. I wouldn't have that chance with Hernel, anyway. As if. Besides, exes of friends are not my thing. So a lot of guys have been crossed off my list already. LOL. As if there's a list! x_X
So I met my old friends again. I was just so happy and glad. Anyway, I attracted a lot of attention there. I wonder why. Maybe because I was a new face. And besides, you all know how a city girl is treated in the provinces right? City girls attracts a lot of attention. Anyway, I was just so happy. I have a lot of new friends now! But most of all, I met a lot of gorgeous guys!
Jon is Dennylaine's cousin. He's 17 years old and he tried out in the UP Diliman Basketball varsity. Just like what Paulo Castro, my friend, did. Jon got accepted. He's a great basketball player. And Mailene said that he's courting her. Anyway, Jon was the first guy there that I had a long conversation with. We talked about a lot of things but then the conversation was cut short coz they had to go home!
Next, I was introduced to Mailene's Highschool Friends. I think the other guy's name is
Arjay. Yeah, he's this tall, fair skinned guy. Anyway, we didn't have a long conversation coz I went to the girls.
Btw, most guys were already around the table by that time. Inuman sessions. [drinking sessions] sigh.
Anyway, after chatting with the other girls, I was again introduced to another group. This time, it's composed of Ate Miemie's friends. Ate Miemie is Mailene's sister. Anyway, I was introduced to John, the vocalist. :) He's a cool guy. Rakista! We have the same taste in music. Haha. I stayed in their table the whole night.
After they left, I stayed inside for a while and then I heard that Mailene got drunk. So I rushed outside. Everyone was taunting her. They were teasing her. They were playing with her. Haha.
Mailene was funny while she was drunk, not that she isn't funny, but she said comical things. She said a lot of crazy things that I dare not mention everything here. LOL
Anyway, I met a lot of guys again that night. Haha. I think I had quite a handful. LOL Anyway, we slept in this storage room in their garage. It was so cold there and it was so fun!
I can say that it's one of the best parties I've been to. Even though it rained it's still a great one! I had so much fun that night! :)
No pics this time coz the digicam wasn't working. Aww. :(
