INTI Ball ~ La Vie En Rose

-4th of October, Saturday.

Just like all any other usual Saturday, I woke up to the sound of my alarm, telling me that I should start preparing myself for work early in the morning. Even though that day was a special day, I was still forced to work as a promoter under the blazing hot sun. I only have work in the morning during weekends, so after work I head to my friend's house immediately to have my makeup and nails done.

By the time I reached her house, I was only left with 2 hours. With no time to waste, I quickly took a shower and have my friend do my nails. I tried doing my nails the night before but it was a disaster, I really do need more practice for paint my nails. While my friend was doing my nails for me, her mom helped putting makeup on my face. Rushing with all the preparations, we managed to get everything done on time. My overall appearances might not be perfect, but I was satisfy with the outcome given with the limited time we had.

My dad drove me all the way to the entrance of the 5 star hotel where the ball was held. I walked in the hotel, trying to be as graceful as I can, but with the clumsy personality I have, I almost tripped over my long dress twice while I was walking up the stairs to meet up with my friends. My friends were busy taking photos and putting on perfume before entering the hall. The restroom is packed with beautiful ladies checking their makeup, perfecting their hair in front of the mirror. Most of them never fail to take a photo in front of the mirror before they exit the restroom.

As the event begin, all ladies and gentlemen are guided into the classy ballroom. The MC started the evening by walking around, talking to some lovely participants regarding INTI Ball. Various fascinating performances were played for the evening. We enjoyed our foods taken from the side of ballroom while watching the performances.

As the night goes on, the dance floor is opened up for us to dance to some slow, romantic musics. My first dance for the night was with LouAnn, my close girlfriend in INTI. After a short while, she lead me out of the dance floor so that I could dance with my partner, Soon. He guided me to dance step by step since I don't have the slightness idea of waltz. It's a pity we only managed to dance for a little while until we changed dance partners. I danced with most of my friends, be it a girl or a boy. I was even carried by MC, a friend of mine while he slowly spins around in circle. I was a little disappointed on having to dance with Soon for such a short while, we didn't even have that romantic atmosphere with us when we danced. I guess it's highly impossible for us to be together in the future.

The event was coming to an event, me and my friends went around taking photos to treasure the moments of that night. Time passes when we were having fun, creating memories, it was time for us to take off our Cinderella shoes, and head back home. My dad wasn't free to fetch me that night so I asked my cousin brother to fetch me home. On the way home, we stopped by a sisha cafe with cousins and friends. I was walking in my long dress, having people staring at me.

At long last, I reached home past midnight and slept immediately after washing up. It was a tiring but enjoyable day. I will place this fragment of memory somewhere deep in my memory so that I will never lose it.
