Hayes Mansion Gala!

BEST DAY, SINCE THE LONGEST TIME EVER! :) Today was amazing, I don't know how to put this into words. It's just not enough.

So, I went to PACE 25th Year Anniversary Gala from 4-11PM. Cocktail attire/formal, at the Hayes Mansion, which is BEAUTIFUL. Tickets were starting from $150, while VIP were $200 PER person. However, I got in for free due to my connection with the organization ;D. I love Youth Leadership Committee girls! We did an awesome job, so we deserve all of this. Hah.

Anyway, when we arrived, we had to greet guests... out in the cold though. Well, somewhat outdoors, somewhat indoors. I saw a cute old couple! Omg, they were so lovey dovey, it was just too adorable. I swear, everyone who attended this Gala are FILTHY RICH. LOL. There was an auction as well. Do you know how much money they paid!? Every bid went up $100 dollars. Rofl -__-. One painting came out to be $5,000! I took pictures of everything, but currently too exhausted to upload them. Hannah did a really outstanding job with her speech! It was so passionate and filled with eloquence. The food was amazing. We even had a staff room! It echoed, LOL. We heard ticking in the beginning though. How freaky. BUT there were delicious snacks calling for us ;D.

Oh btw, really hilarious story. After passing out auction tickets to VIPs, we went downstairs to the staff room to just hang out and rest my poor feet. I was wearing heels, which was a total bitch. But anyway, we came inside and saw this group of guys. I didn't know who they were at first, so I was like, WTF. Lol, but they were part of the band. They were kinda cute, but we thought they were high. AHAHAHAHA. They acted extremely weird. My goodness, they were all up on the floor and whatnot. I think one of them were piggybacking the other. LOL, AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE NORMAL. Actually, they are kinda normal.. maybe we were just seeing things. Finally, I decided to take a picture of them, since I had my camera at reach. I was about to TAKE the picture, but one of the guys were like "SHE'S TAKING PICTURES OF US" And omg, I was so embarrassed! So I was like whispering.. cause you guys were weird... LOL. I hope they didn't hear that, since the room echoes -_-.
I took ONE picture of them though! It's really laughable, every time I look at it. One guy was on the floor, doing something that would keep me wondering forever. LOL. I don't even know what he was doing!

Another funny story. Hannah and I decided to go by the bar to ask for something to drink. At first, we thought water was for free, cause it usually is? But apparently, it isn't supposed to be.. there. So we were like, can we get some water? The guy was like, "2 for three". We thought he meant "2 for free" LOLOLOL. So we were like, oh okay cool. Then he got 2 water bottles out and was like, "2 for three". Then we were like -_-. So, Hannah replied, "So.. do you have anything free?!" LOLOLOL. My guts almost jumped out of my stomach. The guy seemed angry, but he was like, "Just take the water bottles". Ahhhhh, we felt so bad. Gosh, that was such a bitch move. We even had water downstairs, but were too lazy to walk due to lack of FEET STRENGTH AT THE TIME. SIGH.

You know, there were only 2 asian couples that attended this? What a shocker. Not really, hahaha. One of the asian couples were really cute together! They were both VERY good-looking. Very elegant and high-class. I believe they're around 27 or so. Apparently really young, yet so successful! What a great way to raise my level of jealousy :( HAHAHA, I'm kidding. But I want a life like that! Make it happen for me, Mr. Right!

Afterward, it was around 10, I suppose. We all went to the lobby to set up auction prizes and gifts! We accommodated with giving out lovely prizes to our wonderful auction winners :). One of the prizes were a 7-day cruise to Lake Tahoe!? Or.. something along those lines. Anyhow, the prizes were amazing.

As a result, everything turned out just as expected! I was thoroughly surprised by its perfection. It's so rare to have such a great day like this! Besides getting feet cramps, today has got to be one of the best days of my life. As of now.. hehe :). I wish to have more amazing days! The crowd was awesome, the atmosphere was classic, the mansion was fabulously humongous, the food was great, and everything was just working! It feels so nice to be feeling this way, LOL :). I felt so relaxed and.. rich :). AHAHAHA. Btw, Hannah, Kara, Jennie, Jackie, and Tesla, it was great hanging out with you guys!

I freaking love where I work, even though both organizations that I work for are particularly NON-PROFIT, I've gotten so many discounts as well as benefits. I FEEL SO LUCKY <3

PLUS, Nora the Stanford Graduate got drunk officially today. ROFLMAO, it was so hilarious. "Hannah, you did so well up there... did you make your speech yet?!" LOL.. how contradicting.

Oh! We also had the photographer take a picture of us! It was by the 1920s beautiful car. It looked so refined. ;D

K that's it, I'm about to knock out. NIGHT. :)
