Animo La Salle!

Went to the Animo party last Friday night.Was fun, even if I did not actually go to La Salle. There were a whole lot of people and they were shouting and screaming as the replay of Casio's 3-point shot was displayed on a wide-screen projector. School spirit, I mused. Cliff mentioned that the previous championship victory party was better. I mean, most of the people at the campus party were freshmen. Skipped the Racks victory party. For some reason, I do not feel like seeing a whole lot of people jam-packed in one place. Not that day, I guess.


Fabby day for me last night. Yup, the night of all nights I wish I skipped. I was at school the whole day, and later after that, my mom called me up and was ranting on how she didn't want me wearing black to my semi-debut. I'm like, what the heck is wrong with black, everyone wears it. Paris Hilton does. You can't argue with moms, so we had to rush to the mall at Sari-sari store to get another dress. I saw a lovely Carrie Bradshaw-like dress that fit me perfectly. Got them and then went to QC to get my hair done. It's funny how I arrived later that I had expected and there were a whole lot of guests in the ballroom. I plastered my smile for five friggin' hours because the video people where recording my every move. I'm really glad most of my friends attended like Clifford, Rash, Rami and most of the people from Abu Dhabi. Cliff was the best, I did not expect to see him there as well. Kuya Ian was there too, he was like a Mafia guy in his black ensemble. I missed him because I haven't seen him for the longest time. My girlfriends from highschool Joy and Kristine were there- emotional support. Hehehe, we shared our laughs at the restroom which we preferred to call the 'powder room'. So much for our kakikayan.

I realized that you cannot always count on "friends" to show up on the night that would only pass once in a lifetime. I got a couple of interesting cop-outs which were also repeated by others in different variations:

1. I'm sorry I can't attend your debut, my mom was hyperventilating in the kitchen and I had to be with her...
2. Hey! Sorry I can't make it, I have to rush my dad to the hospital...
3. (Last Minute) I'm sorry my mom called and she would pick me up now...
4. Sorry I can't come, I, ummm, have a lot of stuff to do...

I mean, I understand all of these, but the thing is they could have told me earlier. Was it just a coincidence or did all of these happen in a matter of days. God, I wish it weren't my unlucky week. As much as I try hard to understand. I couldn't.

My party ended at around 1 in the morning. Details? I don't know. Almost everyone on my 18 roses thingy attended, my titas were surprised with the number of guys that showed up. Marf Creatures & John's band played, and I was actually surprised when Jake and Jay performed a number. I'm like I can't believe Jake can sing. I used to have a crush on him, hehehe.

I actually had fun for the first time in weeks. Chris surprised me as well because I absolutely did not expect to see him there- with flowers which I thought was sweet. Yeah. yeah.Paeng & company were a lovely bunch, they did a couple of sets before the program started.Very marvy. Mike Apeles decided to host the shindig with my friend Badette, he's just soooo funny. It's been a long time since I saw a lot of them, so I'm really glad they came.

Kiwi came last, I didn't think he would be there but suprisingly, he was. I was excited to see him, my heart palpitating, I'd just die right there and then. I guess I was dumbfounded or speechless or whatever. He came all they way from Baguio. Eye-opener.So much for being a loser. He actually came, because as I had predicted, he won't. It was...umm..nice..I guess. Saba & company arrived when the bands were jamming, at least they get to eat cake :) Angel skipped my debut. She didn't even bother to tell me she couldn't make it.We went to Yero bar afterwards to chill with Paeng and everybody. I had a blast :)

So there. Details of my so-called debut. Even if not a lot of people came, at least it was worth it. Now it's back to studying and being a loser.
