Sam made it again...

she still looked sleepy here because of the 8am awarding ceremony..hehe

Sam made it again to be included in the Top 5 Most Outstanding Pupils in her class for the 2nd grading period. She's Top 4 for the First Grading Period by the way. But this time, she made it to Top 2 na! ...yey!!! I'm always proud of her ever since but now ...more prouder because she's really doing well in school. She's always making it to a point to be included as one of the best pupil in her class...unconsciously. You know, nursery pupil like her especially at her age of 3 doesn't mind at all if she's doing good in her class. She just know that school is fun with all the play activities, seat works, home works, quizzes and exams are just a routine for her that she really enjoy to do everyday. And as a super hands-on mom like me, I'm not forcing her that much to excel in her class. I'm just doing what I think is right for her young mind what she needs to learn. I'm just so blessed and thankful to God that I have a daughter who can easily comprehends what she learns and it totally reflects in her report card. Her daddy don't know the good news yet (super busy from work daw....hmmp!..haha) and for sure he'll be more prouder than I am. Good job baby and always remember that we're just her to support and guide you all the way. We love you very much!

The all-girl team, high school students from Holy Sprit School who call their group Janssen Knights, arrived from their victory in Hong Kong Disneyland. The talented group is composed of Jessica Meñez, Czarina Jose, Krizia Duka, Lyza Torsiende, and Julia Mella. They made it to the final four as kids across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong watched the videos and cast their votes to decide who from the 20 semi-finalists from across the region will join the dance competition that draws inspiration from the sensational hit Disney Channel franchise.

Nearly 29,000 votes from 11 markets were cast in a span of a week with teams from Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore also making the final four. They had 6 weeks to prepare, choreograph and rehearse a dance number to a medley of songs from both “High School Musical” and “High School Musical 2”.

The winning team, who has definitely brought the Philippines recognition in the arts, was awarded a money-can’t-buy, once-in-a-lifetime experience to perform live with professional Casts in one of the latest park attractions at Hong Kong Disneyland, High School Musical: LIVE! In addition, they will have their performance and momentous win produced into a show that will air on Disney Channel across the region on September 21!

Synopsis
“Rapunzel” is a hilarious and heartwarming musical based on the classic fairytale by the Brothers Grimm. Written by David Crane and Martha Kauffman, creators of the Emmy Award-winning television series “Friends,” with new music by Michael Skloff, this version gives a fresh spin to a well-loved story.

Magic and mayhem ensue when Prince Brian tries to rescue Rapunzel from her tower and from her mother, who just happens to be a witch. Will he succeed? Will they find true love? Will the witch turn Brian into brussel sprouts? Rest assured this tongue in cheek hairy tale is not going to be business as usual!

a tiring but exciting photoshoot day...

Finally, the most awaited day of the first day group photoshoot of Kidstime little models has been arrived. The photoshoot for the Stella's Clothing Line group went off smoothly. I think some of them didn't make it. As far as i know, the headcount should be 12 for the Stella's, but they were just 9 of them during the shoot. The girls wore these dolly-like satin colorful dress from the said clothing company for the formal wear shot. Sam really like the dress and refuses to remove it after the set...haha! Everybody poses their sweetest smile in front of the cam. Even the youngest in the group did very well. The studio was jam-packed with these kids and the ever excited stagemoms. You can really hear the woos and coos of the mommies even outside the studio!...haha...ang ingay! :p I hope that daddy Chris didn't get annoyed with us, the ever so ingay stagemoms..hehe After the shoot, we were asked to wait outside for the meantime to giveway for the Polka tot's group.

The 2nd set was a bit more casual. They still wore these clothes from Stella's. Sam's wearing a red soft pants matching her tops. The others wore a casual dress that really looks so comfortable. Everybody had a great time. Noisy mommies on the loose again!..haha

It was also nice to finally meet in flesh our ever dearest "Contest Queen", Mommy Ro!..haha Though Mommy Kat & I already bumped to each other once during the Trinoma exhibit...I'm really happy to meet you again and had this little chikahan. I also met some GT moms from the forum and group. Pardon me if I forgot the names...hehe! I'm not that active kasi sa forum. I usually visit the site just to get some news about the contests and mag winners...I'll try to be more active now to make connection with the other stagemoms.

And finally, a very big thanks to this mom behind all of these. Thank you so much mommy Zharina and to your ever loving and very supportive hubby, daddy Chris and to the rest of the staff of Kidstime and Children's Ave. It's really a great opportunity working with you guys and I'm looking forward for the success of your "Twins." After all your hardworking days and nights and the completion of your models, you made the first photoshoot a success. Though there are some misunderstanding about model categories, you were still able to work it out. I understand that sometimes you need to make a change and hope that some concerns have been fixed for the benefit of all. Good luck more sis for these coming two days of exciting photo shoots. More cutie kids, more crying..hehe...more noisy moms...and more precious moments to capture. :p
