The remaining weeks of our collegiate year passed like a blur.

Everything seemed to be in a rush.

Now, we are busy preparing for the graduation ball this weekend.

Graduation Day is scheduled next week.

Me and my friends are now spending our clearance week in our favorite salon.

Cleared na kame sa lahat.

Wala ding graduation practice ngayon.

Intended na lang ang three remaining days para sa mga Incomplete sa mga subjects namin.

Tapos na lahat. Thesis defense. Practicum. Even the compilation of practicum documentation and stuff.

As in, hayahay. Petiks mode.

We took the three remaining days to pamper ourselves and to relax before the gradball.

"Hay besh! Eto talaga plano ko matagal na! Buti na lang talaga masipag ka magpa-alala sa amin sa mga dapat gawin! Kaya hindi kami ngarag sa school works!" Louisse said to me gratefully.

She has her long black hair in long perm which makes her stunning. Her fair skin shone in comparison.

"Sa true langs! Super blessed talaga kami na ikaw naging beshie namen, diba bru?" Trina added and sipped on her milktea.

Trina had her hair treatment and she appeared mature yet innocent in her look.

I rolled my eyes.

"Gagraduate na tayo. No need to praise me." I joked and they laughed.

After getting our hair done, we stood up and Louisse being as she is requested for a groufie and photo op.

Once satisfied with our shots, we finally paid the stylists and went out the salon.

"Teka mamsh! Don't ever post our selfies today! Masisira ang moment naten sa gradball. Dapat new look tayo. " Trina objected when Louisse was about to upload it on her Facebook Timeline.

Typical Trina. Always wants to be on the spotlight.

We decided to go to the dresses section and were immediately fascinated with the variety.

Our gradball theme was masquerade. Therefore, cocktail dresses are expected.

The moment my eyes rested on a beautiful nude colored sleeveless dress.

I knew I wanted this.

I did not bother to look at the price tag and went straight to the fitting room holding it with excitement.

"Oy, bru! Saan ka pupunta?" Louisse exclaimed while they are still busy admiring the gowns and dresses.

"Baka po may nagustuhan na si Ma'am na damit." I heard the saleslady said.

"Ang bilis makapili ni bru!" Trina said as I hurried inside the fitting room.

Once inside the cubicle, I placed my sling bag on the small couch and locked my door.

I removed my shirt and jeans then gently put the dress on.

I marveled how the soft fabric grazes on my skin.

I looked at myself in the mirror with awe.

Am I really the woman standing in front of it?

I look so different!

I removed my glasses and ran my fingers thru my hair and neatly put it back.

I tried holding my hair up and I realized how sexy I looked.

My long neck was emphasized by the design of the gown added to its nude look.

I grinned.

I am definitely cool with the makeover this weekend!

New look, new Shainah Ella.

Once satisfied, I removed my gown and returned back my old clothes and eyeglasses.

Holding the dress with such eagerness, I went out the fitting room and head straight to the girls.

"Oh, bru! Okay ka na? May napili ka na?" Louisse asked and I nodded.

I turned to the saleslady and handed her the dress.

"New stock po, Miss ha." I asked and she nodded at me smiling before she took off to their stock room. "Samahan ko po muna sila sa fitting room pero balikan ko po yung new stock."

"Tara na. Sukatin na natin to!" Trina exclaimed.

She had two dresses in her hand
Probably something to choose to.

Louisse, on the other hand, had three. A yellow haltered dress, red sleeveless dress and black one shouldered dress.

"Wow! Ang titingkad ng kulay mo, bru!" I commented as we went to the fitting room. "Dito ko na kayo hintayin sa labas ng cubicle nyo. Rumampa na lang kayo sa harapan ko pagkatapos."

They nodded and went opposite doors.
