Mister & Miss NOHS 2014

August 31, 2014/in 2014

The search for Mister & Miss NOHS 2014 was nothing short of a huge success. The 10 competing candidates were prepared, the stage was set and the audience was cheerful. Thousands of students screaming their heart out for their favorites already one hour before the event started. That was also the time when we were allowed to sneak backstage to take some pictures of the candidates getting the last touches and advices.

Finally the show started with the production number. The NOHS dancers created an artistic firework before the 10 candidates entered the scene in their white fantasy “angel-like” outfits.

Red was this evening not the color of love, but the color of the sports outfit of the 10 contestants for the 2014 title of Mr. & Ms. Negros Oriental High School. The Q&A session, probably the most feared part of most contestants, was done in a professional way by Ms. Muffin, who is – as we learned – the very first Miss NOHS.

After a short change of the outfit, the candidates showed their talents which reached from ballroom dancing and hip-hop to singing and poetry.

Finally it was time for the lovely ladies to slip into their gowns and the young gentlemen to change to their official attire before the winner was announced.

Well done and congratulation to:

Mister & Miss NOHS 2014

Miss Silliman 2014 – Coronation Night

August 25, 2014/in 2014

Last night was the Miss Silliman 2014 Coronation night at the Lamberto Macias Sports Complex. While the event was not sold out, and some seats remained empty, it was still a good crowed, which supported their favourites in a frenetic way with cheers, lights, banners and all kind of “noise-makers”. After the last judge finally arrived and was introduced the show started with the presentation of the stunning candidates who ran for the crown of Miss Silliman 2014.

Miss Silliman 2014 – Presentation of the Candidates

At this point a quick thank you to all organizers, artists, announcers and sponsors. Without them an event like the Miss Silliman Coronation Night would not be possible. Some of them are in the next little gallery:

For the sake of political correctness, the swim-wear round is almost not existing at beauty pageants in Dumaguete. No difference here. The contestants had to choose a Zodiac Sign and presented themselves in a kind of costueme according their choice.

Miss Silliman Candidates as Zodiac Signs

After another more or rather less thrilling intermission number, the candidates finally presented themselves in their stunning evening gowns.

Miss Silliman Pageant is a yearly activity of Silliman University, until we discovered it is the longest running beauty pageant of its kind in Asia. The Miss Silliman pre-pageant was held yesterday at the Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium on the University campus. Even a short power interruption could not stop the enthusiasm of the ten candidates and the audience.

At this point a “Thank You ” to all organizers, participants, announcers, judges and all involved. Without their effort a succsessfull event like the Miss Silliman 2014 Pre- Pageant would not be possilble.

Asian College at Tayada sa Plaza

August 4, 2014/in 2014, Galleries

Asian College at Tayada sa Plaza

This weeks Tayada sa Playa was sponsored by Asian College. The Theater Arts Guild of the college did a little bit a different performance compared to most other Tayada Weekends. The team did a stunning 45 minute performance about two kids from birth to college graduation. Some visitors might have been confused at the beginning, when 2 young came pregnant on the stage and “delivered” live on the same.

However, after a few minutes it was all clear what it is about. The show was filled with music, dancing, acting, live-band, just everything on can perform in this short time. Certainly some very talented students at Asian College.
