One last Prom

A Prom Like No Other
JS Prom 2013: ONE LAST TIME

The JS Prom Cotillion

Three words to describe the Juniors’ and Seniors’ Promenade of Florentino Torres High School:
Magic. Elegance. Memories.

After two weeks of delay due to bad weather, finally, we celebrate prom.

Prom, the most awaited and most romantic event of the year, where couples dance the night away, and when kings and queens are crowned. Where love is in the air, and friendships are made even stronger.

 This is my last prom. I’ll miss my friends, everyone I hold so dear. My classmates all looked forward to this event. Our last hurrah. Being the emcee of this event was hard work, but being part of the magic that happened that night makes it even more worth it. So this is it, our last prom.

JS Prom Magic

---

Yes, there was magic when hundreds of Juniors and Seniors of F. Torres High School entered the oval to celebrate Prom. Magic indeed.

You might ask what kind of magic there was that night. It was LOVE. And guess what? The theme for the JS was: When Young Hearts Beat as One.

I can bet that a lot of hearts came in sync and all came together to one slow rhythm.

Nothing beats two people, slow dancing to that oldies love song. It was sweet and romantic.

In the midst of the chaos, the noise, and the glaring lights, there were worlds that were created. Lots of them. I saw a lot of couples, dancing with each other, simply enjoying themselves. Time seemed to slow down between them, this was their moment, just the two of them, not minding anyone else. I felt so happy for those people.

People watched out for the famous couples, some even screamed out of pure delight as they watched.

And me? Well, my tradition during prom? It was confessing to every crush I had that I like them, making up with old enemies, and dancing the night away with my special friends.

And one more thing, I didn't had a date. I'm not ashamed of it though, since I danced with a lot of women ;) In fact, I cant count how many I danced that night.

Have you heard of JS Prom Magic? Its when you fall in love with someone you dance with during prom, and that person ends up as your boyfriend or girlfriend.

That happened to me last year it became a summer romance, and I saw a lot of people going through the same thing that night. JS Magic, a great thing to see unfolding in front of you.

Elegance

---

Everyone went to prom in their best suits and dresses. Even if the outfits were simple, everyone  looked amazing.

Who knew that the wallflowers of the class ended up to be a stunning vixen. Or maybe that nerd came out as the guy of your dreams.
As for me? Well, see for yourself. ;)


A quick sidenote, our prom was postponed for days and because of this delay, the people who rented clothes ended up spending even more T_T but nonetheless it was worth it. Everyone looked great.

The Prom King And Queen

Of course, the main event of the night was crowning the Prom King and Prom Queen. After weeks of screening and intense deliberation, we were left with ten, yes TEN candidates. (A quick FYI, my mom used to be prom queen, during her JS prom, and one more thing? My mom also graduated from Torres HS.) These ten are the epitome of people with not just irresistible looks, and appeal, but also talent. You have to admit, entering a pageant is hard, I've been there and I've donethat, and I will tell you, that it is HARD.  So congrats to our Prom King and Queen. They really deserved it.

Memories

---

In the end, even if you had a date, even if you danced with a lot of people, even if you received that coveted crown, all of that would be in vain if you didn't make memories .

And to make good memories, you need to have great people, people that made high school the best four years of your life. I'm so happy to spend prom with guys that really became a part of my life, no matter how long, or how short, our times were. Making prom possible was a journey indeed, and working with the people that made it happened was an honor. One of the memories I will cherish was being the Emcee of the event. The work was tiring, but definitely worth it. Prom is about having a good time, making memories, memories that will last a lifetime. 

Dancing the night away with my classmates made this JS prom, special. 
Thank you Por-Wan Rizal for that.

The JS prom was a truly memorable experience.
It was a night where everyone was beautiful, 

a night when love was in the air

a night when YOUNG HEARTS BEAT AS ONE.
