Smilies :)
Recognition day yesterday at Olivarez College, Parañaque City. Third year high school awardees are Xavier “Kuya Maui” Cortes, Third Honors and Barbara Tuazon, First Honors, here with their Class Adviser Mr. Edwin O. Provido. During the ceremonies they also acknowledged Xavier’s other contributions to the school.
I like this photo because it’s one of the very, very few in which Kuya Maui is actually smiling.
Way to go Editor!
Saturday at the Manila Zoo
The last time we were here was in 2002, and we were a bit wary today before walking through its gates. The Manila Zoo is a landmark from Sam’s and my childhood, in much the same way as the Nayong Pilipino.
It was a very pleasant surprise to find the Manila Zoo in such a revitalized state. To anyone whose last visit to the zoo was more than five years ago, I urge you to go there again.
Here are some photos from our trip today. Click on any of the pictures on this post and you will be transported to my flickr account where you can see more photos of the Manila Zoo.
Horn-tooting :)
We interrupt this series of serious blogging for some serious horn-blowing.
In the recently concluded Private Schools Association of Parañaque scholastic competitions held on February 11-12, 2008, the winners are:
Olivarez College - Secondary Education Department
Extemporaneous Speech - Xavier Lourenco Kapauan Cortes - 1st Place
Spelling - Xavier Lourenco K. Cortes and Wilfred Dave Gonzales (Team) - 1st Place
General Information - Xavier Lourenco K. Cortes and Wilfred Dave Gonzales (Team) - 1st Place
His topic for Extemporaneous Speech was “Between books and the media/internet, which do you think can help you more in your quest for academic excellence?”
Have I mentioned he was also Boy Scout of the Year for SY 2006-2007? I’m sure his teachers are very proud of him, because I sure am.
Congratulations, Kuya Maui!
This is your Nanay (a.k.a. Gloating Mom) signing off.
