Alpha males are always fond of watching pretty girls, they say. Not me! Hehehe... I like pretty girls, but I do prefer beautiful girls than the pretty ones.
Amidst the sea of beautiful gown, handsome tuxedos, pretty teen girls, gorgeous mothers in their best dress, a lady in orange pencil-cut dress caught my attention. She could be one of the parents, I thought.
"Hmm... she't pretty but she's look too conservative, just like my teacher in high school" I smirked in silence. I take a good look at her, and then I went ahead with my merry ways of taking pictures. But then.... when the show started and everyone has to sit down, I found my self with Ranie and the pretty girl in orange. Ranie, politely introduced me to Carol, the principal of Palm Crest International School.
Dang!!!!!
Hehehehe... I thought, she's one of the parents! And... only to realize, she's a principal. Gee, I made a bobo of my self out there.
Contrary to the impression I perceived - a conservative teacher, she's actually cool and funny. Not only that. She's smart, witty and can easily explore diverse topics during conversation. I was so impressed of how fine she was, that I told her:
"You're the second person who impressed me here in KSA"
She just gave me a wicked smile and she mutted.. "Second?"
"Yep, because the 1st one was the principal of Al Taj"
We shared a timid laughter. (We can't laugh loud because the program was on-going.)
Few more things I learned from her. She's just arrived here in Riyadh last August, she's having a good time in her current school, is happily married, and just like all the newbies in the city - she's experiencing a hard time adapting with the culture and rules.
I didn't stay long at their table. I bid adieu and then continued with my order of the day - photoshoot.

I had a beautiful day today; photoshoot with the graduating students, meeting very proud parents, browsing elbows with the good people in SE, and meeting new friends.
Hah! Who says there's no fun in KSA?
