Sneaker Night --my longest blog post ever ♫ 8:31 PM
OK, last night was our banquet, which turned out to be really fun. ^^. I rented this dress from Maharlika and I loved it so much, today when I went back to return it, I asked them if I could keep it, they said I could if I paid an extra 200. Which I did. [=I've uploaded the pictures. You can find them here. I wore a short red bubble dress, leggings, and a pair of Converse. Yup, believe it or not, I did. And I had nothing on my face except lip gloss which i purposely rubbed off after dinner. I loved what I was wearing. I didn't care at all if people said it didn't match or if they thought it was a bad choice of attire, but hey, I'm the one wearing it, not them. [= The guys actually liked what I was wearing, I received several good comments from the guys. [= Some girls said it didn't look good, some said they envied me and that they wished they could wear sneakers too.
Anywayss, we were the first juniors to arrive at the venue and we took lots of pictures. When the guys arrived, Vergel called me Avril Lavigne! Hahah! [=
Well, when it finally started, it was doxology, then cat walk from the seniors to "model" their clothes.. hahah! so we could vote for King, Queen, best dressed, etcetera... :p
After that, we ate dinner then they said we could start dancing. Then manongs and manangs started to grab some of our batchmates to dance with them. Then I noticed something after like 10 seconds of them dancing, then I told the people at our table, "Dood, those are all ministers! they could be their deputies!!" then Sari started to spread the word to the other tables. It's weird how only I noticed this. The funny part was that Gary thought it was the actual dancing already, so he walked to the middle of the dance floor and started dancing with Laika. But then manang Joy, our information minister, went to the mic and told everyone to stop dancing and stay where they were. It was funny 'cause Gary had no idea what was happening, so he just backed away. Turns out, I was right.
Sonya turned out to be a minister. Charish cried because she wasn't a minister. I actually wanted her to be one as well, she was the first one I voted for, to be honest. ]= As for me, minister? Ew! No, thank you. [= If I was pulled up there, I would've cried and I would've begged them to give the position to someone else. I'd rather be an SCA or none at all. I don't want anything to keep me busy and away from my soul next year. I don't want my soul to feel bad that I'm too busy to spend time with her like how it was with me and my angel.
Anywayss, when it was the actual dancing, I was waiting for either Ino or Kryle to come dance with me. But then I saw Kryle wear his mask, and he said "Hold on, I'm gonna dance with someone else first." And I knew right away who it was, I'm actually proud of him. [= Then I saw Ino just sitting at their table, but I didn't bother going near him anymore.
But I regretted not going to Ino, because after a few minutes, I saw Laika pulling someone towards me. That's right, Emman. I wanted to run, but my feet were stuck to the carpet underneath them. And then after what seemed to me like a split second, Laika started pulling me too. She brought us to the crowd that was dancing in the center of the room and said "You guys dance and enjoy the night, ok?" I tried to think of an excuse to get out of it or to at least kill even the least time just so the dance would be cut shorter even a little. So I hugged Laika and congratulated her for being a minister. But then I couldn't hug her too long, so I had to let go, and well, dance with Emman.Then Emman grabbed my hand and my waist. Yes, it was a slow song. So I had no other choice, I put my left hand on his shoulder. His friends and my friends kept taking pictures. [If you read my previous posts, you'd understand why everyone was making a fuss about it] I kept hiding my face and looking down 'cause it felt so awkward. Then after a short two minutes -which by the way felt like 5 long minutes to me- i finally asked, "Can I go now? This feels weird and I want to dance with my friends." I know it sounded rude, but he kept pulling me closer and started to hold my hand tighter after every 20 seconds. It made me feel weird and, well... uncomfortable.
Anyway, he said "No.. 5 more minutes!" Then I said, "No. Fine, when this song ends, we'll stop, deal?" Well, he had no other choice, even if he said no to that, the next song was a fast song, so we couldn't stay like that. Then the song ended, which was unfair 'cause I knew the song and I knew it was going to end. But hey, the next song was too fast for us to be dancing like that, so I let go and thanked him for the dance, and went back to our table. Glad that was over. Well, that's official, Emman is my first ever dance. I've never danced with a guy before. Ever. [Except for when my dad and uncle used danced me when I was a kid, but that's a completely different thing.]
Well, after that, I sat on the table a while. Then they kept playing fast music, so my friends and I went to dance a little. Next thing I know, Vernon's grabbing random girls to dance with them. Then he came to me, he spun me around, put his arm around me then he did that dance thingy they do on TV, where the guy has a rose in his mouth and puts the girl down and... oh, i don't know how to say it... but all i know is that I almost fell! Hahah! [= Then Daryll goes around dancing like crazy with every girl he saw! hahahah! [= It was really fun. [=Then they started playing slow music again.. I was about to go back to our seats, but then I heard Wynel's voice behind me, he said "Ui, taba! Did you eat enough?" Hahahah! it was weird.. but yea, we danced a whole song which felt so fast to me, I guess it's because we talked a lot. [= I went back to our table and saw him dancing with Sonya so I took a few pictures. Hahah! [=
Then Jayvee came up to me and asked me to dance. I said "okay!" then i pulled him to the middle where Sonya and Wynel were, I wanted to tease them. Hahah! [= Well, we danced and it was fun although Jayvee's coat made my arms itch.. Hahah! :p It was fine though, 'cause we talked a lot. Then I saw Emman approaching once again, so I rushed over to Kryle, since I asked him to dance with me earlier, although I wasn't able to yet. So I asked Aica to switch with me for a while 'cause she was dancing with Kryle. So I danced with Kryle for a little bit.. it's surprising how he's taller than me now, he used to be so small. [=
Then I saw Arcel standing in the corner and I looked at him. And he looked like he was asking me to dance with him, so I thanked Kryle for dancing with me and I thanked Aica for letting me dance with Kryle. Then I walked over to Arcel. I miss that boy, we've only been classmates once, but we're still a little close. I told him two months ago that i wouldn't dance with him during Banquet if he kept calling me
Well, after that, I interrupted Ino and Rovie's dance so I could dance with Ino. But they seemed to be really into the dance, so I left them alone for a bit then got back to Ino after a few minutes. I also told Caleb earlier that I wanted to dance with him, but everytime I went near him, he was dancing with Shan.. Which I definitely didn't want to interrupt. [=
Pearson as well.. I couldn't dance with him. Although I asked him when the event started, he said "I'll try. Jam made me promise I wouldn't dance with any other girl besides her. But I'll try!" Hahah! I found it weird. I didn't know Jam could be so possessive! Hahahah! Kidding. [=
Well, here's where my night felt incomplete. Remember Justin? I saw him dancing with a bunch of girls. Then Sari told me, "Don't you just want to dance with him too?" Well, of course I did. He was the best dressed Junior there, and well, I just really wanted to. [= Sari told me she was going to ask him and that I should ask him as well, but I didn't want to seem desperate, so I didn't bother.
Then Sonya left after a while. They turned the lights down once again and Wynel came to our table holding two Starbucks-Looking drinks. Gloria-Jean's Coffee. I think that's what it was called. Sari went to talk to him for a couple of seconds and I saw this sad look on his face. The other one was probably for Sonya. He sat down beside me and said "You want it?" with this really sad tone in his voice. It made me feel bad, he does a lot for Sonya. He bought her a really yummy drink and I felt bad that I was the one drinking it. [Geez.. "The sweet taste of having what's not yours." literally... They weren't kidding when they said that... Whoever they are.]
Then Nicki and I went down 'cause her mom was waiting for her but she allowed her to stay a little longer. We met Twinkle down there as well, so we went back up with Twinkle, and I told her "My night isn't complete yet. I need one more dance. Just one, and I can go home satisfied." Then this is how it went:
Twinkle: Wait, I'll go tell him to dance with you!
Chinky: No! Twinkle!
Twinkle: Why? You don't want to dance with him?
Chinky: That's not it. Just don't tell him I'm asking.
Twinkle: I won't. :)
Aww.. yea.. [= then i went to our table.. I saw him dancing with Laika. I wanted to take pictures of batchmates. I figured my camera still had even a little battery juice left. :p So i opened my bag, but I didn't find it there. I turned around and asked Ayel twice since she couldn't hear me the first time because of the loud music. Then Katchy, Ayel and Nicki started to walk away from me, I wondered why, so I looked to my front, it was him. He asked me to dance, grabbed my hand and we went to the dance floor. Honestly, I felt nervous, I mean, who wouldn't be if they were dancing with the most stunning junior there?
One of his hands held mine, and the other held my waist [which by the way, I felt really fat with.. after all, I ate a LOT for dinner]. Then he said......... wait... Here it comes...
"Your hands are cold..."
Yep. And all I could say was, "Oh.. Sorry.." I looked up at him for a split second but then my eyes started to look straight.. Which means I was probably looking at his tie. He's tall, what could I do? What was I supposed to do? Look up at his face? Well, maybe.. But I didn't. Then Ayel started to take pictures. I don't know why, I wanted to smile, but the bigger part of me said to hide my face. Which I did. The rest of our dance was really quiet. I wanted to say something, but all I could think of to say was this: "Make sure Emman doesn't see us, he gets jealous easily." But no, I didn't want to say anything like that. Besides that, all I could think of to say was about him being terminated, but I didn't want to ruin his night, so I decided to just keep my mouth shut. The song? Guess what. Mad, by NeYo. The band made the song sound awful, but whatever. [= I was dancing with the guy of my dreams, who cares what the song was? [=
Well, when the song was ending, I felt my left hand start to fall from his shoulder, like I said, he's tall, my hand couldn't stay up there any longer. I found myself just holding on to the side of his arm. I felt bad 'cause for the whole dance I was looking at the floor. I could tell he was looking at me, he probably didn't like dancing with a girl who couldn't even look up at him. But the fact that that was going to be my first and last dance with him stabbed me inside. He was going to be terminated, which made me feel really bad. When the song ended, I let go of his arm and his hand, I took a step back and thanked him. Then I walked away real quick. I sat at our table really quiet with my friends smiling at me.
[Okay, so maybe earlier I said I didn't like him anymore. But I only said that to people 'cause I felt that if I did, I really would stop liking him. Guess what, it didn't work. I still like him, even if i try not to, i just do.]
After that, I ran to Twinkle and hugged her. I kept thanking her and telling her I loved her for what she did. Then I hugged Ino and Wynel out of joy. [= I wasn't able to dance with Josh, Aaron and Caleb, but last night was one of the best nights of my life. [= I can assure I'll never forget it. [=
Earlier today, Jaja told me that Justin told her he hated it when I kept looking down at the floor. He was my last dance for the night. So if I were given a chance to dance with him again, I'd make it even better. [= I want to dance with him one last time.Whenever it crosses me mind, it seems like it was no big deal. I danced with 8 guys, why is it any different with him? But when I think about it, we were only centimeters apart from each other, holding each others hands, dancing on the dance floor... It IS a big deal. [=
