Wazzup Pilipinas!

Everyone has their own expectations, hopes, and fears about their senior year of high school. My senior year contains all of the above and more. This year teaches me many things such as; leadership, time management, and appreciation for the people who became a part of my life.

Honestly, our section didn’t have a great start because we came from only two sections. So the tendency is for us to miss our old sections and that’s what happened. We can’t help comparing them with our past classmates. But we realized that we can’t do anything because past is past. We just have to deal with it. So as time passes by, we’re starting to feel comfortable with each other.

In fact, we won first place in the Pamilyang Pilipino contest during the Pistang Pinoy in line with the celebration of the Filipino Month. In that contest, judges will go inside the classrooms and judge the food, the presentation, and the company, because Filipinos are known to be very hospitable when it comes to their visitors.

Mabuhay Fiesta at the Mabuhay Restop : Showcasing Filipino Ingenuity at Its Best!

 
Wazzup Pilipinas!

I never expected it would be that great!  I really thought the Manila Vanilla could no longer be surpassed by other performances at the Mabuhay Restop but the surprising showcase of talents performed alone by the charming star of the show was all that we needed to make our night a very memorable one.

Most of my friends were actually there after an event that recognized Wazzup Pilipinas as one of the Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2013 as presented by Digital Filipino of Miss Janette Toral. This made the event at the Mabuhay Restop an after-event Victory Party to celebrate our win.

It was incidental that the night was very special for us, and the presentation of the new show called "Mabuhay Fiesta" made our night truly complete.
