Level on the inside

I had my first (and probably last) taste of socialite partying last Friday, 24 June when Preview (magazine) celebrated its tenth year anniversary with a big MODI (modern indigenous) party in Embassy The Fort. My sister works for Summit Media as associate publisher of Cosmopolitan and Preview and she organized the event, which explains how we got into the guest list.

It felt really weird at first. Cameras were flashing left and right and celebrities and models can be seen being interviewed from one corner to the next. For half of the time I just tried to hide how my 3-inch heels were killing me while checking-out the many famous faces I see upclose and pretending not to mind them at all.

But it turned out to be a really great experience, not just for the excellent food and overflowing booze, cool music (percussionists were flown in from Cebu), a lot of dancing but more importantly, the sight and experience of my sister’s hardwork. Everything went perfectly that even her boss Liza Gokongwei was telling people that it was HER party.
