Nicole's Junior Prom





Nicole had her Junior Prom last February 23, 2008, Saturday, 4pm, at Alabang Country Club. Her date was a guy named Mitch, whom we met for the first time that day. He was a friend of her barkada. It's not your usual junior prom: the juniors had a choreographed Cotillon de Honor dance with their escorts and a Rigodon de Honor dance with their fathers. They also had 2 short ceremonies involving their mothers -- candle lighting and handing over of the statue of Mama Mary with a blessing. I was very involved in the organizing, so I missed breakfast and lunch on the day of the event because all the last minute problems and preparations! It turned out ok however. I forgot to prepare the candles (110 in all) so right there, we adjusted the program of events while Bebop and another Dad ran to nearby Rustans Store to buy all the candles they could find! If it weren't for the program, parents wouldn't know that we delayed the candle ceremony for some 45 minutes. Seeing these pictures, I felt old na. I have a grown up daughter!

Hey Ray,
I initially thought Nicole was you. She looks just like you! Very pretty. You must be very proud. Take care.

Hay salamat mga pinsan. Yes, I hope hindi ako tumandang in denial na tumatanda na nga talaga ako. Oo nga bakit ko nga ba nakalimutan yung candles... Hay. Either tumatanda or ADHD or both. Heh heh, Rhea
