Jana & Annica, from the very start, have formed a close alliance. An instant friendship. They are so supportive of each other & really boost each other’s spirits. I’m so very happy that ate is being exposed to so many opportunities at this point in her life. She has been sheltered too much in her high school days so I’m happy that now, she is enjoying every little thing that comes her way.

As a mother, foundation was very important to me. Which is why I chose the close-knit school for them. I wanted the kids to focus more on their studies, and in their family. But now that ate is 18, and her roots are buried deep in the ground, I am pleased to see her shine & get out of her cocoon. <3

The candidates were brought to Cubao for the last rehearsal. Good thing I stuck to ate like glue. Kung saan saan sila napapadpad hayz! ;))

Too bad Annica was absent that day. It was the most fun rehearsal, I think! 🙂

Rampa galore! 😉

I’m really loving ate’s form & walk. <3 I hope she maintains it tonight!

Buddies now, galit-galit later hahaha! ;))

With the current Ms. Science, the very pretty & statuesque KARA GOZALI. I think she’s 5’11” or more??? And she’s so nice too. Perfect combination of Beauty, Brains, & Personality! 🙂

and with the “CRUSH NG BAYAN” from the Psych department, FRANCIS YAO.

By the time rehearsal ended, we were hot & hungry. Good thing Cubao was very near to greenhills so ate & I had lunch at the infamous Gloria Maris..

Who knows, this might just be your stepping ground to more beauty pageants ahead, hehe! ;P Love you!! To me, you will always be the loveliest beauty queen in the world! :-*
