fasting

ACB Mimi's turn once more as Toastmaster of the Evening for the weekly meeting of the Maharlika Toastmasters Club. For this week, she chose the theme "Fasting". Everyone thought they'd go hungry for the meeting because of the theme but we were wrong. Mimi provided dinner for everyone.

TM Ai had her first Table Topics Master role. She got creative by giving fictitious letters from anonymous senders and the respondents would have to give advice to the letter-sender. CTM Jess, CC Owen, CC Mely, CC Boom, and CC TC all gave their best to help the senders in crisis.

Three new members delivered their Ice Breaker Speech. Elsie and Emna Monsanto, as well as Princeton Ong, all proved to be diamonds in the rough as they delivered their first prepared speeches in style. Dr. Emna, a vet by profession, showed that her writing skills would really complement her speech-writing skills and the Maharlika TMC would help in perfecting the delivery of her speech. Sibling Elsie then proved that she is a Jill-of-all-trades and that she wouldn't back down from any assignment, whether climbing mountains of rubbish or in TM's case, speaking in public. Princeton has another challenge at hand for him, from Grandmaster to Toastmaster.

The club welcomes the return of TM Paolo after almost a year-long absencee. His return was fruitful too, as he was tasked to count the number of Ha-has, or the number of times the speaker made the audience laugh.

Division B Triathlon, or in his case Quartethlon champion Enrique San Agustin evaluated the Advanced Speech of Mimi for her after-dinner talk.
