We attended Miya’s first ever school program. It was a very
simple and short program of the kids. We were asked to dress Miya in black
shirt and leggings because they will be Igorots and the rest of the costume
will be done in school and put together on the day of the program itself. I can’t
find a plain black shirt for MIya’s size so I decided to buy black leotards
instead. I’ve asked Miya’s Ninang to cut the longsleeve ones I bought to
shortsleeves. Bought the leotards at Yvonne inside SM Store and bought matching
black leggings from there too.
The program was for the whole pre-school so all levels nursery, junior kinder and senior kinder kids were all there. Miya’s school is a small school and the program was done in the play area. You can just imagine how jampacked the area was with all the students (around 30-50 students I think), teachers and parents and companions during the day. The parents were asked to leave the students to the assigned rooms (for them to assemble the costume) and then proceed to the program area. We were there early so we got good seats. We didn’t get the front seats because I was afraid Miya might not want to separate with me again when she sees me during the program (like what she did during her field trip). So anyways, when the program started the kids entered the “Stage” via a door at the side. I was surprised that aside from the teachers and students a lot of parents were also coming out of the side door hahaha.

When Miya saw me, she wanted to go with me and didn't want to stay in front anymore. Hay! I had to ask one of the mommies in front if I could seat there just so Miya will stay on stage.
All the students were asked to memorize their lines to say
during the program. Miya’s line goes “Ito ang baro’t saya, ang pambansang
kasuotan ng mga babae.” Miya has memorized her line days before the program and
she even recited it during their rehearsals so her teacher knows she knows her
line well. But guess what, this little girl decided she didn’t want to say her
line during the program! Ahahaha! Here she is not saying her line.
She also didn’t want to dance, apparently. During their
Igorot dance, she was there front and center but she did not dance. Well, just
for a little bit when she did the hand gestures but after a while she thought
she’s too cool for that LOL!
