I promised an update so for the love of this blog, here it is. It was a tiring event for me but I managed to get through the night. It was a sit down dinner. The boss decided to make our lives a little easy and besides, it was Robby Carmona who'll be directing the show soooo - eazypeezy!
I was anxious a few hours before the event. Because one, I didn't prepare for this. Although I have the suit from last year's, I am basically just going to show up again wearing the same suit. But just to be safe, (I learned this from my ID class) I brought my black and white polo. Two, I have soooo much stuff to do back in the office. Promotions, Christmas brochure, digital signage updates, etc. And it's already August! A few more months to go, December na! Hala! And three, Let's just say that, that's the reason I can't get out of the holding room because I was too damn nervous. And booooy, I know it was all worth it after braving the fact that I have no choice but to get out and yeah, it was a few seconds slow mo for the both of us. OJTs can tell how nervous I was, they laugh their asses off. Thank God I nailed the all-black-look last night + the biglaan make up. I wrote myself a card congratulating myself and saying I deserve the most beautiful face of the night award. Char! Fourth, it was my first time to put on a make up. Thank you George of Jessi Mendez and to Ms. Mitch for sponsoring it! Awesome! (I was actually asking everyone if my falsies are still okay. Can you believe that? Oh my God!) Five, officemates are staring at me I want to wash my face and hide in the corner. I swear to God it was awkward and beautiful at the same time.
One funny comment I received was from the Cluster Director of Finance, elbowing Hope asking who I was and saying "ang ganda ganda pala nyan. Sabihin mo sa kanya wag syang titibo tibo!" We laughed and I wanna die the next morning! When I visited Elijah the next day to give our gift for them, she said "inlove na inlove kami sayo kagabi tas ngayon balik ikaw na naman yan!" I'm not sure if these are compliments but I think it's hilarious! I gained Instagram followers the next day.
The show was beautiful! My favorite designer is Rosenthal Tee. I swear, I am not a fan of gowns but I'll wear her gown. But I am still not wearing gown. But if it's Rosenthal's I'll wear it. Or probably not. But I love her designs! She totally rocked the show last night! The music, the simplicity of the stage, the elegance of her gowns. I swear. It was just sooooo beautiful. I also appreciate the fact that we have a bigger media platform, everyone in the media can set up their tripods without bumping into each other's elbows. And we can sit pa in front. I am extremely proud of my team. I ran out of words for it but I am extremely glad I am a part of this company.
I would probably tie the knot in Marriott (if okay na dito) because of this show and the awkwardness and that exchange of glances. ITWASSOHIGHSCHOOLYIAMHAVINGGOOSEBUMPSOHMYGOD! For now, I'll post this and tomorrow, I'll upload photos from last night's event. See ya!
