Pangarap ko ang mapasali sa mga Beauty Contest bata pa lang ako. Walang opportunity dahil walang pera ang parents ko noon. Yung para sa pambili or pang-rent ng gown, pambili na namin ng ulam sa maghapon. Or to mention my husbands comment. "Hindi ka rin naman kagandahan noon, Mommy) ;-)
When Andrea told me that she wanted to join the search for Miss Our Lady of Remedios Montessori School, I did not hesitate.
Here are the list of our gastos:
Pre-pageant:
- Dress and accessories - P850
- Make-up Artist - P250
- Pamasahe back and forth - P100
- Meryenda - P400
Contest / Coronation:
- Gown Rental - P500
- Dry Clean / Laundry - P400
- Gasolina P500
- Meryenda - P500
- Accessories / Props - P500
- Dress for Casual / Talent Portion - P1500
All in all, the damage has been P5500 more or less. And stress, which is priceless.
Pero sulit na yun. She won the Most Articulate Award ;-) Plus the experience of showcasing her talent among her classmates, schoolmates, parents and teachers.
