They swing by this place on their way from Mountain View College last April 21. Together with her cousins, they took the zip. If she did not took the zip then I would wonder why not when she is a very adventurous creature. lol! And guess what she told me later, the zip was not very challenging at all. lol! She said, it was not scary and it was not an adrenalin pumping experience. Oh my I wonder what adventure she really wants??!
Now I am in deep thought. A papa’s daughter indeed!
When March comes, my mommy duties sort of becomes busy. 
Oh well, it’s not always March, so I am not complaining.
Dimple was part of the Third Part:
That’s a video of her and I hit my forehead after uploading it in the laptop because I discovered it is not a clear video. It’s blurry. So perfect! Sigh. Argghhh
Anyway, as usual, it’s only a vid of her. I failed to take a photo because I already set the camera to video mode when she went up the stage.
Last year, there was only one recital for the whole school year, but for this year, they had it every grading. I was able to attend the first and then this is my last. 
Thanks to Omi for the dress and thanks to Mommy for being there, she said.
The other weekend was the fullest weekend of most of the students at Mindanao Mission Academy. They had programs beginning Friday evening until Sunday afternoon. I was able to attend the Saturday afternoon and the Sunday afternoon programs.
Here are some of the photos taken during their Music Fest.
I went straight to the Audie because I arrived on time. But looking at the front, my girl was not yet there. Hmmm so I thought of going to the dorm and indeed, she was still there with Claire. Nadugay kay nag effort ug pamalansa sa iyang dress. Oh at least she is learning. She should you know, she’s not already at the age where she knows ironing well na. –
The front of the program. It was back to back that made me conclude the program will finish late.–
The parts of the program this year was very unique if compared to the previous years. They had more participants than just the usual 4 singing groups. As usual, the 4 groups (one for each year level) sang then the following had their share too:
- the male teachers
- the female teachers
- the student teachers from MVC
- the men dormitlorians with their dean
- the ladies dormiotorians with their dean
- Families of Mendez, Sabino, Viajante, Gonzales, and Baang
- and many more…
I have here quite a number of photos but if I have to post every photo, then this post would be filled so much. lol! So let me share just a few…
The men dormitorians
The ladies dormitorians
My girl got a solo part
The El Harmonido Musico (first year level singing group)
The Crescendos (2nd year level singing group)
The Calliope (3rd year level singing group)
After few shots of the Third year group, the battery of the camera went dead. 
I just continue to enjoy the music-filled afternoon.
My sis went to attend to my daughter ahead of me. We touched down Cagayan de Oro airport at at little bit past 2 already because we were delayed in flying out of NAIA due to air traffic. My original plan was to go straight to Iligan because of my luggage but looking at the time, I decided otherwise. In spite the several luggage I had, I had to get off at the bus stop in front of the school and texted my sis to meet me up. Good thing she was there right away.
When I entered my daughter’s room, this is what I saw!
My daughter! lol! I almost did not recognized her.
To a mom’s eyes, our children are the most beautiful creature in the world. I dunno which is best if it is our mother or our daughters. I was really amazed how the powder made her look pretty matured and beautiful. I love the smokey effect of the shadows in her eyes. I then thought, oh my, the payment to the make-up artist is worth it.
This is what they were doing when I arrived, busy looking at something on her classmate’s laptop. =) All of them in the room were so pretty that night.
Taken just before they went down to the auditorium for their JS:
I was really glad to make it there before the the time because if I was not, surely there are no pics of my daughter to be shared here. I think they are really pretty here.

Juniors – Seniors Prom Night with a theme:
A Revival of the Classics
I just got back from travel. Fortunately, my flight was earlier that I was able to catch up the pre-JS hours and my daughter was already ready for the moment. I think she was done 3 hrs before she has to wear the gown.
When she had her gown on, I took pictures of her and her friends and of all — this one is my fave solo of her.
My baby is now a lady. Sigh.
The daughter and me at the Luneta Park en route to Ocean Park. This was taken November last year – a promised trip to her since I joined the second PMC Grand Eye Ball in Pasay City. It was our first trip to Manila together.
This photo was not taken by me for sure because I am there in the photo. Thanks to my friend who got a day off to go with us until Luneta Park.
Last year, the recital is only once a year, at almost the end of the school year. But this year, they are having it by grading. During the first grading, Dimple did not inform me. When we met, I asked her why she did not call to inform me. @^@ Although if she informed I still cannot make it because I had a work-related event that time. She then told me that it is okey because that was only the first of the four recitals they are going to have in one school year. Fine, she is going to invite on the last.
Second grading recital came up. I was not invited too but a mom told me that it’s gonna be a recital. Another work-related event came up and I almost cannot make it because I made it straight to MMA right from the memorial Park. October 7 was their recital and that was also the time we laid Dr. Wilper Generato to the ground. I went with the Morentes. Thanks to their vehicle I was still able to catch up. The program has already started when we arrived. Not much parents were around. No wonder why, some kids played a 20-30 seconds piece. Anyway, Dimple got a short piece too. I asked her why her pieces are short – she said, it’s what I picked. I like short ones. lol! I guess she is lazy to memorize the notes.
I am not sure if I can make it to the third grading but surely I will attend during the last recital. I hope it will be far better than the previous grading period.
I got a quick shot of her right she was about to take her seat.
Just a quick shot because I then set my camera to video mode. I am still uploading the vid and I will be posting it here in awhile.
2:57 AM
So here’s the video -
I wish to blog more but I am so sleepy now. It takes ages to upload vids even it does not reach 60 seconds.
