A Grown-up Prom!

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I recently was invited to a beautiful ball and I wanted the share with all of you how lovely everybody looked.  I really look forward to this annual event because everyone really dresses up and literally have a ball.  In many ways, it’s like a grown up PROM. LOL!

Prom has always been special to me, because this is how I really started as a designer.  My classmates would come to me and ask me to design their dresses and I would tear the sheets out of my notebooks and draw their gowns.  This spirit is what I cherish and try to capture up to this day.  The ball was held at the super chic Makati Shangri-la hotel!  I had a really great time that evening. What is not to love?  There were so many beautiful people dressed so elegantly and the bubbles just kept on coming!  LOL!  Enjoy the photos!

The minute I arrived for cocktails, I spotted the ILONGGO contingent in full force!  I consider them my family in the south!  BIG HUGS all around!
