kokology

For the sheer mystery of "Kokology", TM Eva takes the cake for having the most unique theme for the Maharlika TMC. The statuesque beauty took the Japanese word "kokoro" which loosely translates to "heart" or "spirit" and the meeting was aimed at the discovery of one's self. Fittingly, there was a new Maharlikan in the person of Masato Takahashi from Japan so "Kokology" fit in perfectly.

TM Marah inspired the members and guests of Maharlika when she gave out thought-provoking questions as the Table Topics Master. Four members and a guest gamely took on Marah's challenge.

TM Ferlin is the fastest mover of late by delivering her 4th consecutive speech. Not far behind is TM Vivian. TM Peter recalled his memorable birthday in CamSur for his second speech project. CC Bong also delivered his second advanced project from the "Speech to Inform" manual. CC Mely, ACS Ed, ACG Pam of UP Manila TMC, and ACB Odessa acted as the individual speech evaluators while CC Erika summed up the Table Topics with her evaluation. CC Cecille was the overall-in-charge of the evaluation proceedings as she took on the role of General Evaluator. Visiting TM Yolly Meru demonstrated the piece she will be delivering at the International Prepared Speech Contest in Tagaytay on May 3.

Photo note: Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-135 f/3.5-5.6, SB-600, Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6. Some of the pics are dark due to my distance from the furthest table to the lectern. Others are overexposed due to the distance to the subject (too in your face sometimes!).
