JEMA
It's our Christmas party, yes!
Excited ako since first time kong mag attend dito sa DJCC. Ang sabi sa akin ng mga pioneers dito sa company, bongga daw kung magpa party ang mga De Jesus. Bukod sa mamahaling lugar ito gaganapin, the cash and raffle prizes are impressive as well based on their experiences.
May mga sponsored trips abroad and local destinations pa. Ito sana ang mapanalunan ko. Gusto ko kasing i-treat ang family ko for a vacation. Hindi pa kaya ng budget so aasa na lang muna sa premyo ng mga raffles.
Fingers crossed.
Masquerade party ang theme this year kaya naman kuntodo ang ayos ko. I'm wearing a lacy black dress with matching black and gold lace masquerade mask. Siempre may matchy matchy na black handbag and high heels shoes.
Very mystique talaga ang dating. First time kong mag attend ng party na ganito ang theme.
Saan ba nagsimula itong Masquerade balls o party? Siempre nag google ako para malaman ang sagot.
Sa Venice, Italy pala ito nag originate noong unang panahon. Pang upper class lang daw ang theme na ganito noon. It means, for the wealthy and posh exclusively.
Bakit naman may masks pang ginagamit? The masks were used to hide identity daw kasi mga high society nga naman ang mga attendees so they always need to maintain proper decorum and follow certain rules on their everyday lives.
Bawal ang pasaway. Any kind of deviant behavior would have been scandalous.
The masquerade masks allow them to break free from the everyday norms and rules. Hindi kasi sila makikilala kaya pwede silang maging naughty.
Ay grabe naman pala ang history ng masquerade party kaya feeling ko mag eenjoy ako tonight. Feeling ko din hindi na ako makikilala nito sa suot ko.
Oh, let your hair down Jessica for once!
Sayang nga lang at wala si Ella. Sigurado mag eenjoy ako kung kasama ko siya.
Kumusta na kaya siya? Almost three weeks na since she left. Naaalala pa kaya niya ako? Hay naku, erase na nga muna siya sa isip ko para naman makapag enjoy ako sa party.
I walked through the hall then pagbukas ko ng pinto, all eyes are on me. Huh, bakit? I was surprised until I realized na hindi ko pa pala suot ang aking mask hehe. I hurriedly went to the restroom para isuot ito. When I am satisfied with my appearance, lumabas na ako.
Since wala pa sila boss DJ, nakihalubilo muna ako sa other employees. Lahat sila ay naggagandahan. The boys are dashing as well.
Ang saya pala tignan kung lahat kayo ay nakasuot ayun sa theme. However, I'm having a hard time to recognize the people. Palibhasa naka masks kaming lahat.
Some are dancing now, some are having a drink. Open bar kasi dito. Naglakad lakad pa ako hanggang nakita ko ang grupo nila Mae. Di pa kasi sila nagsuot ng masks kaya nakilala ko sila. Mga pasaway talaga.
"Hey Jema, come on. Have a drink with us." yaya ng katabi niya.
"No, thanks. Mamaya na lang. Enjoy." sabi ko sabay lakad na.
"Ang suplada, akala mo kung sino." anas ng katabi niyang babae pero narinig ko pa din.
Babalikan ko pa sana sila kaso nakita ko na may mga tao na sa taas. I can't see them properly but I knew that it's boss DJ and his family. Sila lang naman ang allowed doon.
