reminiscing prom
In February, ENCM helped out in the prom night in Quezon City Science High. I was sure it was going to be fun, QueSci being my high school is just an added bonus. It was amusing to get flashbacks of everything (or a lot of things, anyway) that happened in my prom nights.
Like, the time I spent designing my prom dress (the majority of which, I only stared at the blank sketchpad page in front of me), our adventures in Divisoria (the majority of which, I got dizzy over the myriad of rolls of cloth), cotillion rehearsals, and the prom itself. Haha! The prom itself.
I still remember when one of our cotillion guys got Coke spilled all over his shirt. It was partly my fault, and it was indirectly partly my fault... The serving spoon for the rice had a biggest part in it though. And, of course, I'll never forget the look on Oscar's face when the waitress behind him accidentally spilled a tray of ice cold orange juice on him. Goodness. I think he had an extra shirt then, so that was good.
Anyway, back to February 2007. As I stood there along the staircase, trying to maintain order among excited high schoolers and proud (and even more excited and...paranoid) camera-weilding parents, I couldn't help notice the ever-important prom dresses. The designs have DEFINITELY changed a lot since my time... Err...yeah. That sentence totally made me feel old.
*ahem*
Yup, they've changed a lot. If you took present-day prom dresses and wore them in 2001, everyone would probably think you're a weirdo still living in the 80s. (Sorry for the brutal comparison, but...there's really no denying that the 80s are back.) They'll probably raise eyebrows at the bright color combinations, and the oh-so-many layers of chiffon under your gown. Admittedly, I had several layers of chiffon under my senior prom dress, but not like what they have on today.
Now, don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm criticizing the current designs. I actually LIKE the current designs, thanks. I'm just pointing out the differences here.
Actually, my prom dresses were pretty simple. Pretty and simple. I originally based them on the ones some anime characters were wearing, but I eventually gave up on that and had my brother help me. I only looked at magazines then, but nowadays, you can buy cheap prom dresses online, or get ideas from those sites. Yes, yes, I know it's a bit too late for that (in the Philippines, anyway), but maybe you can use this tip for next year? Or you can get ideas from that site when you're designing the dress you'll be wearing for your cousin's wedding or something.
The night ended up being a blast. Not only did I get to help, I was able to party with the high schoolers I was tutoring. And I think I made a handful of my teachers feel old when they saw me. Haha!
