I was having a busy day the reason tha I wasn't able to visit most of the articles here, but earlier when I'm having a vacant I read some articles, then I came up with @MidnightSky 's article, Reminiscing First Dance. This was about her prom experience, the romantic feelings she have that night. So if you want to know more about her story just click it.

Her article makes me laugh, this bring those times when we have a prom. According to most seniors, that this event is the most happiness part of highschool or college life. For now, I will share how it became the happiest for them but worst for me.

But first let me Flex to you my sponsors, one of those persons who guide and support me throughout my journey here. You guys can check them too:)

________________________

I was studying in a public school since kindergarten, until when I got in 4th year highschool I transfer to a Private school and where a lot of things changed. Because it is a private school, the majority of my classmates are wealthy, and they dress in expensive clothing and eat expensive foods. The good news is that I have some classmates who have transferred there as well, so I am not alone.

Months had passed, we are able to cope up with their environment, but still our habit as a former student in public school still exist; we save money, we only buy cheap foods, we don't buy foods during lunch in the canteen, we prefer to bring our own rice and viand.

It is the school's tradition to have a prom every other year. So, when the officers of the SSC (Supreme Student Council) announced that there would be a prom, everyone was ecstatic, except for us transferees, who dislike extravagant gatherings.

I told my friends that I will not go to the party, and they responded saying that they would not be attending as well. Lol! The next day, our adviser made a final announcement regarding the prom, saying, "Everyone must attend the prom, and if you don't, you still have to pay ₱2,000($40)."

My friends and I were shocked, and we have decided to go so that we can at least feel the money we will be paying.

Fast forward...

It's already the prom day, the theme was Club Party, so we must wear club dresses ofcourse. I was wearing plain black with long-sleeved dress, like this one;

I'm actually not comfortable, but I don't have a choice, it's also my mom's bestfriend who give me this to wear.

The prom will start at 6 PM, so my bestfriend went to our house at 3 pm, to dress and do make-up.

Both of us don't do make-up, but still we do our best to put some but and the end it's so messy, the mascara spread in our eyes, the lipstick is not align, we also don't know how to use eyebrows; at the end we wash our face, then only put Johnson powder and lip tint.

I am not prepared, that I forgot that I need to wear sandal which I don't have, I only wear sneakers. I don't have a choice but to use the 6-7 inches high heels; my heels during pageant.

We only commute that time, imagine passing in the city, in the market, wearing sexy dress and heels. Seems like my soul will go out in my body. What's the more irritating part is the driver don't know where the exactly venue is, we keep on roaming around, almost 30 minutes of finding the resort, imagine how haggard we are that time already.

Finally we got there, every girls was wearing heavy make-up, some went to the saloon while some have their own makeup artist. They already fall in line, the program is going to start and we need to have the entrance portion.

They was like "why you two don't wear make-up?", we answered them that we don't know how to use it, so while marching, our other friends fix our hair and put make-up on us. Lol!

What's another irritating thing that time is my partner, I don't know what happened to him, but he is so shy, while during practice he keeps on standing beside me just to make sure that we are the partner. I don't know if I'm beautiful or ugly that time that makes him uncomfortable. Lol! Btw, I don't have phone that time so I really don't know how I look like.

About the dance? There's no dance, just like a program or like we're talking in the club.

The last and the worst of all, during the ending ceremony, our adviser was calling our names one by one to get our certificate. But what happened? When it's my turn the heels on my sandal broke. I can still rememy mind keeps on saying "I hate this! I hate this! I hate this!"

At the end, I go home carrying my sandal, barefoot. That's worst!
