#47: THE DEBUT
The update bug has finally gotten into me. Barely. Haha. Summer bummer. And my parents JUST realized after a long deliberation over breakfast that Journalism IS really my call, so they told me to drop Physics and follow my heart. Yeah, right. had the decision been a month younger I would've willingly done so. But to change my course at this moment, now that i'm enrolled and all? I say too late, too late.
I'm gonna talk about Thea's debut. After weeks of preparation and thousands of pesos worth of expenditures and transport fares, the occasion has finally come to place. With Klitty, LeYa, Jox and Jorge we ventured into the Philippine Army Officer's Club Clubhouse in Taguig (mentioned in my previous post). It started way beyond time, since they have to wait for me to arrive, and I am always fashionably late, so needless to say my arrival is the cue to get the party started. And I am a vegetarian.
Having been drunk with water and coke *hic* after many toasts I have quite a hazy recollection of the things that happened *hic*. Here's what I remembered tho:
> There's this entrance thing where we were standing and clapping and humping around and everything is orange.
> The coordinator is a dud.
> The cotillion is not as bad as I expected it to be. Thank god KJ is such a good dancer, we copied moves from him.
> The food's nice.
"Hindi masarap 'tong cordon bleu"
" ...cordon bleu?"
"Oo. Eto o."
"Aaah. Kaya pala hindi masarap na cordon bleu. Fish fillet yan e."
> Many people are absent. You can see tables without people on them. Or in them. Whatever.
> We had this game, Trip to Jerusalem, where the number of contestants is equal to the number of seats. Go figure out how a person can win in THAT.
> I recalled having sung and done something, but it's so embarassing my mind blocked it out from memory.
> Her birthday cake revealed to me that her name is Phea. Funny, all these years I call her Thea.
> If u can give me wis to flaa/ and cash me if I foo/ I pu the stas down from the skaa/ so I could wish on them oo/ and I couldn't ask fo moo/ coz your love is the greatest gif of oo.// Gad i'm so mean.
Happy birthday!!!^__^
We breathed a collective sigh of relief after the debut. Those practice days finally paid off. All in all, it was a great experience, especially on the debutante's part. It's every girl's dream come true. Well not everyone, since my lil sis Rigel is opting for a rock concert. (Should I be worried?) Going back, I need not mention the staggering amount of money and time that hed gone into this event. My sister had only a Hawaiian swimming party. So what, it's still fun. Debuts are for the rich and the determined. So I warned my lil sis that if she wanted a debut for her 18th birthday I swear i'm gonna make sure she won't live to reach the age. And yeah I said I love her still afterwards for good measure.
it got me home
