Wild Orchid Beach Resort Subic - Welcoming summer 2012

The Family just started the summer 2012 @ Wild Orchid Beach Resort in Subic.

We just had a day trip in the resort after an overnight at Forest Hills Homes, SBMA.

 

Very nice and wide kiddie place to swim and play around. 

 

And enjoying the adult pools especially the jacuzzi pool.  

It also has its beach at the other side of the hotel.  

Our day tour costs 500.00/pax which is consumable for lunch.  They had great 

seafood menu and generous serving.

Taekwondo: My son's TKD Promotion to High Yellow Belt

My son took his TKD promotion to high yellow belt last March 18 at
St. Paul College, Pasig City.

The assessment consisted of their Taeguk 1 form, self defense, different kicks
demonstration and the sparring. Results usually comes out 3 weeks after the
assessment.

With focus, strength, power and determination that my son is showing, we will
surely support him for his love to this sport.

Taekwondo: My son's first TKD Demo

My son on his first ever TKD demo during their Family Olympics school event.

Warming-up before the demo and photo-ops with the team and
coach Jec Panotes.

They had their group demonstration, followed by per belt-color presentation,
self defense and lastly the breaking of the board.

For the yellow belters group, they presented the Taeguk 1 form with my son
in front.  I was more nervous than my son that he might commit mistakes but
he proved me wrong.  He did it with focus and power.

He was also selected to be one in the self-defense demo.

And in the breaking of the board, he broke it for the 2nd try.

My son's preparatory graduation - with honors

Another one great proud mama moment - I was in teary eyes when my son Marty
was announced as one of the cream of the crop of the preparatory. At 5 years
old, he graduated prep with honors. 

I never expected it maybe because of the so little time and effort that I spent with
him doing his assignments and on his exam reviews.  Thank God for his wisdom
intelligence.

His self-introduction - "Good afternoon.  You are braver than you believe.
You are stronger than you seem and you are smarter than you think.  I am
Samuel Marty C. Santos.  I am 5 years old.  I like to be a Mechanical
Engineer.  Thank you."

 

Here is his medal.

He was also one of the selected students who performed on their Doxology presentation.

Time really flies so fast.  Last year, he completed his Kinder 1 as Top 3.  

He passed his acceleration exam and now he is graduating from pre-school.  

Surely, next year will be more challenges and more things to learn in Grade 1. 

His classmates that he will surely miss.  Some will go to big schools but some
will stay.  Marty will still stay in MSA Whizkids. We are very happy with the
quality of education that MSA Whizkids is providing to our son - 1 academic
level advance, develops critical thinking and maintains just a number of students per class.
