Magic Happens - My 18th Birthday

I know it's been two weeks already, but every single moment of that day, from the grandest gestures to the smallest details, I can still remember. So today, I got my official debut pictures and videos that I have been so excited to see even before the debut ended. Although I can still remember everything, it's nice to have these pictures to remind me of it.

You'd think that given two weeks, I am fully prepared to do this blog post. All my thoughts running in my head, the people I wanna thank, the stories I have to tell, the things that I have to describe. But, no. I am still officially lost for words. So let me start by saying THANK YOU! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME AND CELEBRATED IT WITH ME. >:D<

It was the most beautiful night of my life. I know nothing's perfect but for me, that night was definitely perfect with all its little imperfections. It couldn't have been celebrated any better. I am actually more nervous than excited for this night for so many weeks. I really did not know what to expect but right when the doors opened and it's my cue to start walking and singing,  I knew they weren't kidding when they told me that it was definitely the time of my life. :)

I could go on and on and on with my thoughts and my narration but I know you'd want to know the story through pictures so here they are:

The most beautiful dress I have worn and will ever wear in my life!

Thank you to Mr. Larry Zuniga for all of my 3 beautiful outfits!

See? Even the weather was absolutely perfect that day! 

Most stressful moment of my life. Nothing more anxious than when you're already in the hidden in the venue wondering if people will show up. Hahaha.

Every single detail and every single corner of the place has it's Paris feel!

My escort, Angel!

My motto during that moment: "Keep singing, keep smiling, no tripping." It worked, right? :)

My tito and my cousin amazingly sang The Prayer. 

Blessed with a wonderful family, both mother and father's side. <3

Hi Nikka!

Love you Cutebits! >:D<

The night's performers! Too bad I did not find a picture of the dance Lunchies prepared. It was THE BOMB. Hahaha. Also giving credit to my best friend for his solo number! 

The best dressed! <3

I'm really, really flattered with all the feedback and comments I got with our finale! So glad you guys enjoyed it. Daddy was so nervous for this. Hahaha.

I love how everybody was wild and game during the party! And I'm so happy that my high school friends are also becoming friends with my blockmates. :)

How I wish I could put all 1200+ pictures in this blog post to clearly recap my night but I'm afraid that even those pictures cannot fully tell the story of November 12, 2011. To my coordinator, Sir Ralph and his amazing team, Ms. Lynn and the staff of The Pergola, Sir Larry, to my high school friends, my college friends, relatives, my Ninongs and Ninangs, Titos and Titas, mommy and daddy's friends and officemates, my best friends and my family, THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU ALL! Magic does happen.

Pictures are from my official photographer from the team of Ralph and Co., Kenneth Virtudazo and Aldrin Cabalu.

Love, Paola <3
