I'm wearing my self-tailored dazzling black fitted turtleneck body dress with a flowing feather-style skirt that falls above my knee, adorned with rhinestones at the upper waist and rim to add a touch of sparkle and glamour.
London and Cosette tied my hair into a bun and put flower-beaded clips on the side.
This is my look for tita Selma and tito Julio's ballroom golden wedding anniversary.
Visitors will wear black, and the two love birds will wear gold.
"You're so beautiful, ate Yanna!" Inikot ako ni Cosette habang kumukuha ng mga pictures si Orion.
"Matagal na, Cosette. Matagal na." I said that made them laugh.
"I heard Rupert also knows to dance ballroom, tita Selma will surely be happy to see you both dance." Hindi ko alam kung saan nakukuha ni Jesian ang mga impormasyon na nalalaman niya.
Imposible naman na magresearch pa siya para lang buwisitin ako. He's too busy to do that. Ang pahinga na nga lang niya ay ang inisin kami.
"And will surely tease me throughout the event." I've decided to invite Rupert to be my partner.
Duke will be there, and no matter how much I try to avoid being part of the talk of the event, I'll surely be. Kung isasama niya ang ahas kong kaibigan at magpupunta ako roon ng mag-isa, siguradong mas ikakatuwa lang niya iyon.
Although that's not the real reason why I invited Rupert, the last thing I would do in my life is use people for my advantage. No one deserves to be used. Lahat ng tao malaki ang halaga. I see people at the same level, no matter what their life standing is, maliban na lang sa mga taong patapon ang ugali.
Respect should be earned and not easily given.
Kayang-kaya ko naman magpunta ng mag-isa.
The real reason I invited Rupert is because tita Selma didn't stop nagging me to invite him. She's curious daw kung sino itong Rupert na pinayagan kong manligaw sa akin.
They actually tried to introduce someone to me so many times, but I didn't go.
"Speaking of," napalingon kami sa pintuan at nakita namin si Rupert na papasok kasunod ni ate Sarah.
"Good evening to everyone! Good evening po, lolo Fred," he cheerfully greeted while walking towards me.
"Magandang gabi, Rupert apo. Aba'y napaka-guwapo mo." I can clearly picture how elegant he looks in his lightweight white shirt, complemented by his sleek black vest and trouser, as he stands beneath the chandelier in our living room.
"Nagpa-pogi po talaga ako para bagay ako sa kagandahan ng apo niyo, lolo. Good evening, beautiful," narinig ko ang pagtawa ni lolo nang makalapit sa akin si Rupert at halikan ako sa pisngi.
Aba, nasasanay.
"Am I deserving to be your partner tonight, senyorita Avyanna Marlowe?" Nagkunwari akong nag-iisip at tiningnan siya mula ulo hanggang paa.
"Puwede na." He chuckled and helped me put on the stretch rhinestone bangle above my elbow.
Pagkatapos ko na makapag-ayos ay nagpaalam na kami para makaalis na.
Rupe placed my gift in the back seat of his car. I also saw that he has a gift too. Hindi naman niya kailangang magregalo pero nag-effort pa rin siya na bumili.
"Is tita Selma strict or lenient? Do you think she'll like me?" Napalingon ako sa kaniya nang bigla siyang magtanong. Nasabi ko kasi sa kaniya ang pangungulit ni tita Selma na siya ang dalhin kong partner.
