The clock has struck midnight.
The glass slipper has been taken-off.
The kiss has awakened the sleepy.
The frog has turned into a prince.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the night has come to an end. The magic has gone but its memory lingers and tingles inside the depths of our heart. The music will keep ringing in our ears, the lights will keep blinding our eyes. The memory of a night of dolling-up and dancing nonstop in those 3-inch heels will stay forever. The excitement the ladies have felt when they've applied that first layer of make-up, twisted their hair up for class and elegance, zipped up that gorgeous dress and slipped on their heels will always be one of their girlish delights -an excuse for all of them to be beautiful and princess-like. Indeed, the event La Vieja Manila, is for keeps.

The night has ended for me and I am somewhat sad that it has. It will be a long while before I get to dress-up again and have the excuse to do so. I will miss applying that thin swipe of liquid eyeliner to shape my eyes , coating my lips with that perfect shade in between red and pink, sweeping my cheeks rosy and furnishing my lashes with mascara to keep them curled. I will miss dancing to the rhythm, beat and melody of the live band as well as of the music on the playlists. I would even miss the ache the soles of my feet suffered due to walking, standing and even dancing on those shoes with a 2 1/2 inch heel each.

I'm glad I have pictures to stay with me. :)
