Bisdak Babbles

Two weeks after I joined my current company, I received an email regarding the annual dinner and dance. At that time, I thought of not joining the party but everyone confirmed their attendance, so I said yes, too. There was a problem though. The theme was, “A Blast From The Past”! We had to wear something from the 30’s - 90’s! Believe me, I’ve spent hours surfing the internet and I finally found one: Fashion Pictures. The site did give me ideas but it is so hard to find something that appears like the ones in the pictures. I do have a bell bottom pants, but it is so hard to find the right blouse. Another problem was: makeup! I didn’t have any idea on how to put on those colors.

Days before the D&D, I’ve visited every corner of the nearby malls. The night before the D&D, my friends helped me decide to wear a dress. I always wear pants, so I also wanted to wear something different. Then I spent until early dawn practicing how to put on makeup! I was glad I did some preparations, because people really took the theme to heart!

Last night was really exciting. I saw many people wearing wigs, bell bottoms, and loud colored-shirts. Somebody even dressed up like Austin Powers! He didn’t win, though. That “geek from the past” became the best-dressed dude, and the lady wearing something like a showgirl was the best-dressed gal. I wish I could show you guys some pictures of these two along with the other nominees, but my cellphone camera isn’t good enough to get a clear picture of the stage.

Here are photos of me with colleagues:
