Prom 05-06

The JS Prom is fast approaching. Days are already counted for the big night. This led me in reminiscing the prom that had happened the past year.

A Junior-Senior Promenade is made not only for bequeathal of legacies but made also to strengthen the bonds of the Juniors and the Seniors. Tying threads of friendship, as what they call it.

As early as June of 2005, several students were already excited for the upcoming prom. Homerooms had sinking funds to be able to pay little by little the dues needed for prom. Many, especially the girls, were already looking and planning for the designs of their gowns. Some were already thinking who will their last dance be. For every Junior and Senior, it was a big event that was something to look forward to, hoping everything would be fine.

Intramurals came and fights and quarrels started again between the Juniors and Seniors. During our sophomore days, our batch actually also had misunderstandings with their batch at the same event. It was the reason that made me think everything would not be fine then. But no one knows what’s going to happen in the future. We just have to wait and see.

Finally February 17, 2006 was already the big event. Everyone was very busy and excited. A lot of preparations were made. I did not know what to expect that night.

As I entered the magnificent halls of the Waterfront hotel, I had a feeling, a feeling that everything would be fine. I was awed seeing my classmates and schoolmates in their attires. The girls looked gorgeous and the boys looked elegant. It seemed like everyone had a makeover that day.

So the program started and we were all excited and nervous at the same time. Wearing our beautiful attires, we promenaded down the aisle together with our partners. The delicious meal followed. The food was really awesome. I was full. Everybody enjoyed the meal. The tribute for the seniors followed. It came out to be a good one. Our prophecy was next. I really had fun and I hope the seniors liked it. The legacy of the seniors followed. I think it was amazing, very well prepared. Their presentation and concept were excellent. Their actions went well with the music. The proclamation of the Junior Prince and Princess, Senior Prince and Princess and Prom King and Queen was next in line. The winners as well as the nominees all deserve to win.

The most awaited part by almost everybody was the disco. It was a time wherein everybody would rush into the dance floor and dance all night. Many went to the dance floor. I think this part was a lot of fun and very meaningful. It was not only because of the “kilig” scene from the love teams in the class or the boyfriends and girlfriends dance nor the funny moments on the dance floor but the thought of the Juniors and Seniors bonding with each other. It was during this time where everyone did not think of what had happened in the past. Everyone jived, jammed and bonded which is the most important thing.

It was then I realized everything was fine and that the Promenade was indeed tied threads of friendship.

The upcoming prom would be on February 9, a few days from now. I am hoping that friendships will be made on that night like what happened the past year.
