A Masquerade

It was indeed a night of fashion of the Junior and Senior students of the College of Education. It was a dream come true for some, who always dream of being a princess, who looks serene in a starlight- paneled gown, high-heeled strap shoes, genuine glittering jewelries, walking down the aisle toward a colossal ballroom filled with laughter and voices of gentlemen and ladies.

Around 7pm our prom started. It was not as grand as what I have imagined and I may not be wearing a luxuriant gown for it, but then the exciting and memorable parts are still in it, like the candle lighting, community singing, dancing...

The Juniors and Seniors entered the gymnasium at their best.They all looked alluring with their gowns and long sleeves. And they looked more attractive with their distinctive masks. Everyone was excited for the program to start. They were all eager to hear the class history, last will and testament, class prophecy, and of course no one would like to miss the candle lighting and the exchanging of souvenirs, and the disco!!

Set of emotions drawn-out from the faces of the seniors as they were reminiscing some memories as one of them delivered their class history. Everybody got shocked and surprised when their class prophecy was revealed. NDMU should be proud because after 15 years, one of the national legislators, the congressman, the governor, the mayor, a member of sangguniang bayan of this province, the most prominent men and businessmen of this country, high-paid and famous celebrities, models, artists, and well- respected and honored principals and teachers will be coming from this institution specifically from the batch 2006.
But there's nothing more exciting than when the last will and testament was read, it is the part wherein the seniors will turn over their titles to the juniors, like who will be the next Mathematician, the next can-be-trusted council officers, the next ever-requested-hosts, the next campus-head-turner, or the next Newton-Einstein-Galileo-like...Guess what, me with my barkada will inherit the latter title {hope we deserve to have it..:) }

Before the candle lighting and the exchanging of souvenirs started some were recognized and awarded as best in gown, best in attire for men, best in mask, star of the night, and couple of the night, which happened that my two closest friends who were so sweet and looked as best-pair while hosting got it. Our promenade was ended by a disco, where some had the spirit and in the mood of dancing.

The party was over but I know its memories will always linger and it wil be one of the highlights of my stay here in NDMU.
