I was a bit tense at the start but as the show progressed, it was like something that I enjoyed on.The winners were the representative of the Seniors for Mr. Palaro and the candidate of Sophomores was crowned Miss Palaro.The show was graced by truly outstanding candidates, a powerhouse board of adjudicators and a well-setup physical arrangements. Congrats to the organizers - the MAPEH Department.

Omar and Kara won the Cluster 2 Science-English Spelling Bee

Yesterday, in celebration of the National Science and English Festival 2009, several contests were held at Zamboanga Sibugay National High School. I was the coach for the Science-English Spelling Bee with Omar (III-SPED) and Kara (III-SPED) as my contestants. They were a team of two, as representatives of Zamboanga Sibugay NHS. In all of the rounds, they were ahead than any of the other four schools, and so they were the winners, eventually. They scored 29 points, which was followed by 23 and 21 points, which settled 2nd and third representing San Antonio NHS and Titay NHS, respectively. The words were endeed difficult, but they managed to correctly spell 14 words from other schools.

Today is Our Lady's Birthday

I woke up at around 4:45 am. Earlier on, I had such time scheduled for alarm through my phone. I took a warm bath and gotten my self ready for the Holy Mass, which would be at 6 am. When I got to the Cathedral, I saw Kuya Roger and Kuya Manny who were busy preparing many things. Ate Marie and Ate Lourdes were also there already. Last night, I sent Kuya Manny a recorded Psalm that would be sung for the Celebration. The Psalm was indeed great and was sung meaningfully: "With delight, I rejoice in the Lord." I also played the musical organ live. We, the choir sang Marian songs (Ave Maria as entrance hymn, Stella Maris during the post-communion and Mother of Christ in the final). It was a joyful celebration of the birth of Our Mother. The mass ended at around 7 am. I directly proceeded to Zamboanga Sibugay National High School for my classes.

May the Blessed Virgin continue to pray for the whole world. Ave Maria!

Gotten better already

Just awhile ago, we the Interlude choir just had practice for the Holy Mass tomorrow, which is the commemoration of the birthday of Our Lady. My co-members in the choir commented that I am now playing the musical organ like a pro. Kuya Manny even commented that I am already like a master of it. How heartwarming it has been to hear it from others, that after all my self-practices, I am now better than I was, like a month ago. I am so thankful to God that He paved the way for my knowing Sr. Aurea, OSB, who has been teaching and encouraging me to play the musical organ, live during each mass our choir is assigned. I know that I still have more to practice. For now, I am so blessed with friends who continue to give encouragements.
