When I Danced With Him...

It was already a month ago when we had our Junior-Senior Promenade. The theme was about blazing the trails of friendship and that sort. That night of February 9 was really a night that I will never ever forget.

Every afternoon on the week prior to the said event, we always practice. We practice on how to walk the proper way, how to go to the buffet table and how to eat, dress and act accordingly.

This year’s prom, just like last year, was held at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino. And amazingly, we had the same prom date with Science High. There was a short reunion between the classmates and my classmates. They met with each other before our prom started. I do not have any close friend in Science High so I just watched my friends met their former classmates and friends. I was happy for them because they were given a chance to meet each other before our graduation.

It was the second and the best prom that I attended. Why? Because all the students was enjoying each other’s company that night. I mean, it was unlike the last prom, when the fourth years had their own group and the third year also had their own group, the two groups never mingled with each other completely. This year’s promenade was really a cool one because there was this mingling and as what I have noticed, that the teachers really danced in this year’s prom.

The whole affair started with the presentation of the juniors with their escorts and the seniors with their escorts. Then just like any other school activities, we sang the Philippine National Anthem. We had our dinner and after which, the announcement for that night’s Prom Queen and King. We had the batch and class picture taking. The third year students offered their tribute in a song and dance concept and they were all good when they had the prophecy. They gave their tokens in a form of a small pillow and a compact disc (CD), which contains all the songs that were played that night. Then there was a disco and we really enjoyed it. The sound in-charge played the Boom Tarat-Tarat and everybody including the teachers danced. Then, what I like was when me and my crush danced. I was happy, who will not be happy if your crush will dance with you. It was really a memorable night. It was my first and last dance with him because we will be graduating. When I danced with him, I was really happy and glad. Just kidding, but really I was happy because at least, before we will graduate I had the chance to dance with him. I will always remember the song; it was MYMP’s version of No Ordinary Love. Everybody was all very happy and extraordinary.

We ended the whole affair by singing the UP Naming Mahal, the University Hymn. I went home inspired and happy. My heart was so full of memories that I will always cherish and treasure.
