]]> A NIGHT TO REMEMBER tag:montessorideoro.com,2010:/teambloggista//1.189 2010-02-17T04:10:26Z 2010-02-22T18:53:39Z teambloggista
 
February 13, 2010 was indeed a Night to Remember ! After a month of preparation and practices the day of our JS Prom came. We were ready to face the Red Carpet with all our Splendor and Excitement .  The Senior's hired Lakshmi to be their Paparazzi for the wonderful event. Of course the Juniors  also hired Reno to take all the important snapshots . 
This year's theme was Hollywood Inspired. We all had a star to greet us, when we walked up the red carpet and the grand staircase of the Clubhouse .  Of course our Paparazzi took some time to follow us and take our pictures.  Although, they were CdO reknowned photographers the photos above were taken by my schoolmate .
The program was wonderful , Benjoe seranaded us with a song that melted the Teacher's hearts. Apple inspired us with her rendition of " My Valentine "( she's quite a songbird!)while her friends danced like real ladies and gentlemen.  Nikko , Apple , Kissy , and Joey had a light and cute song number which made me realize that I am graduating very soon .Nikko and Joey sang "I'm Yours" and dedicated it to all the ladies of MdO. Anthony also sang a song for the first time and he had to calm his nerves but he did get by.  Kathleen C. and Brynner V. sang a duet which was actually an avenue for Brynner to express how much he was crushing on Cute and Lovely Geraby . However during the instrumental part , Joey had to give Geraby flowers !!! It was quite a scene , still everyone had fun.  For the Finale , the boys of  Fourth year Amethyst showed off their moves and it definitely made the night more exciting!
I like how MdO gives us students a chance to express ourselves and come out from our shell . Our school is indeed a beacon of light in making Quality education a holistic experience.   
The dances were choreographed by Sir Raul Prima and I must say he really thought about it and made each set worth watching.  The Ladies gowns twirled while the Gentlemen looked dashing in their suits and tux.  I particularly liked the Boys wearing bow ties , they were setting the trend ;-)
Of course the Last Will and Testament and Glimpse of the Future made the night a different one . Each one was acknowledged and the writers Marion and Geraby really did a wonderful job making it almost similar to the First few batches of MdO - very personalized and positive :-)
Miss Alma Mater - the very intelligent and lovely Marion Poblacion was proud to accept her sash and so were Vanessa Dy and Nette Labis both awardees for the evening.
Miss Alma Mater's Speech was heartfelt, short , and direct to the point. It made me so proud of my friend while watching her speak in the podium.
Jill Velez accepted the key of responsibility with a wonderful speech.  Kissy and John Lerio were great hosts , they spoke clearly and included us in their spiels .
It was indeed a Night to Remember!  
keep on checking Teambloggista - I'll be posting the winners and more photos soon ...

]]> December is here and I feel that Christmas is in the Air! As I listen to Christmas Carols and think about all the Christmas presents I'm going to receive this year, for sure my Christmas will be awesome!  But the Holidays is not just about gifts and parties , I know that it brings the family together and allows all of us to find that quality time .  I particularly like the feast other than the food as a family we pray , eat , share , and laugh together . Celebrating Christmas is definitely on top of my list this year.

As for New Year which is just around the corner... with all the fireworks and New year bang to ward of all the evil spirits I think I'll stick to writing my annual resolution . Afterall its New Year - we are all entitled to at least one Resolution!

 I've been so excited to watch the movie - New Moon. Well an opportunity came  last Saturday after the Little Miss Pageant , your Teambloggista Correspondent joined the long line of excited New Moon fans.  I read the book and I know that I won't be seeing a lot of Edward in this movie, since the story will be introducing the arch enemy - the werewolves !  Also I remember , Stephanie Meyer- the author dedicating New Moon to her brother Jacob . Much as I would like to talk about the movie , I have specific instructions not to share all the juicy details .  So I thought I'll  just give it a rating. And yes I give it  four stars since I really enjoyed the movie plus the company. I think Bella's acting as well as Edwards's justifies mtv's viewer's choice award for making them their favorite.  Jacob looked hot and his smile is just so cute and his body is just perfect  ;-)
Team Edward or Team Jacob, each guy will have a moment with Bella so don't miss the to die for moments that still fill the movie theater with shrieks from excited girls including me ;-)
Interested in knowing who I'd pick?  just like Bella " It has always been Edward!"  because I'd love to say this as my last few words before I end my human life "bite me!"

]]> Congratulations Lutz Tumara 2009 School Spirit Queen! tag:montessorideoro.com,2009:/teambloggista//1.180 2009-08-25T13:10:50Z 2009-08-25T13:31:43Z teambloggista Every year a Festival Queen is chosen in the General Assembly.  The Queen will have to represent her team and perform with her team during the School Spirit Competition.  The judges are given a separate tally sheet for the Queen in the Competition so they will have to really carefully watch the whole presentation. 

This year the Gold Team Started with their Harvest Celebration with their Queen Kathleen Concillo dancing to the drums while carrying a Sto. Nino. The Gold Team participants were eager to break the curse of coming in third . This year they did it but they have to work harder because First place is yet to be reached!

The Silver Team performed next with a Tribute to Peace makers all over the world, using the music of Michael Jackson . Michael Jackson's music was used because of the message as well as the representation of the artist as an active humanitarian in advancing the fight against poverty , violence , and hunger. Lutz Tumara wowed the whole Atrium with her performance . 

The Green Team performed a Pineapple Harvest Celebration .  The Green Team performed  in synch with their steps and the participants energy could be felt when they performed in front of the audience.  The Green Team's muse is Marion Poblacion , in her presentation she changed twice with a gown that made her look like a Princess.  

 

The Results :

School Spirit Queen

First Place - Silver Lutz Tumara

Second Place - Green Team Marion Poblacion

Third Place - Gold Team Kathleen Concillo

Free Interpretation School Spirit Competition

First Place - Green Team 

Second Place - Gold Team

Third Place - Silver Team
