Being a foreign teacher, it is an unwritten rule that I'm a walking advertisement for the school. From time to time, I have to subject myself to complete and utter humiliation through "performances by the foreigner." Think of a freak show. Yup, that's what I do. On the 26th of June, my students I were tasked to sing "Do Re Mi" (Doe a deer a female deer. Ray, a drop of golden sun...) from "The Sound of Music" in front of a crowd that had gathered... I don't even know where that was. Anyway, here are the pictures to document our embarrassment.
owwww joni! you guys are so cute! haha... so you were playing Maria? =) hehe... wala ka bang video nito? =P
ReplyDeletesound of music is never embarassing lolah! you are the chinese julie andrews! clap clap! i love that musical and i love these photos! wait... where's your guitar?
ReplyDeleteWaaaah! I'm Maria, alright. "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" No video. And I can't even play the guitar so there's no use holding one.
ReplyDeletefraulein maria!!! we want fraulein maria!!!
ReplyDeletethats awesomely cute site you people singing. Whew!! to be on stage for long time singing need real courage...and as I can see in 5th snap that you are singing happily... so I guess it is not embarassing at all. besides kidos are cute and so is their teacher ;)
ReplyDeletea picky question: it seems only you have mic in hand and what about kidos??? were you lead vocal...
ReplyDeleteWe want the audio of your singing... any supporters for my demand???
Oh no, Sachin, you wouldn't want to hear me singing. Trust me. I sang the first part alone. After that, I handed the mic to the kid to my left (refer to 5th and last pictures), and we all sang together. Singing happily? Now that's where my being Pinoy comes in. The Pinoys are a loud laughing people. We laugh at everything, most especially ourselves. If one is caught in a situation where one is left with no choice, s/he would shrug and laugh it off. That's how we cope.
