Our Super Teacher Booth, Decorating With Mini Chalkboards and Blue Pompoms + Lanterns

The last week of September was declared Education Week at the university which happens to be funny because October is officially International Teacher Appreciation Month. We took the time off and moved our activities from the classroom to the backfield. 

I helped out the seniors with some booth designs and suggested to adapt the #superteacher theme. We also added more character with mini-chalkboards and created blue pompoms as well as blue and white Japanese lanterns. The result?- A floating haven of blue right in the side of a muddy backfield. 

Juliet brought her ribbons with her and sold them at really affordable prices. To check out more of her creations, visit Jam's Ribbon on Facebook.
 

Like our blue pompoms? We just learned to do that a day before! Where did we learn it? From a tutorial on YouTube! (Sshh don't tell!)
 

Of course our friend Biboy also brought his blue and white Japanese garden lanterns which made quite a huge difference with the decor. 

And what's a teacher's best tool for teaching? Enter chalkboards! 
 

We used mini-chalkboards to tie it up to the Education theme.
 

 

 

I even declared that the Power Pencils will make its user pass any exam. (Believe it at your own risk please.)  

 

 

You will never guess but this one is Pinterest inspired.  We also used mini-clothespins.

 Finally, this is for all the #superteachers out there.

 

Did I mention that it was a contest? We won by the way.  

 I've been seeing a lot of these all over the place. You might want to do this too. Have a fabulous International Teacher Appreciation Month! 

My Zamboangueño Christmas

The lights and lanterns are up, and the pueblo has started to resemble a little Christmas postcard without the snow. Downtown people have started swarming to City Hall to take pictures with families and friends. The fountain in Plaza Pershing is most colorful at night and some visitors have taken out their cameras to capture the moments before the crowd doubles, with Christmas Day nearing and the air becoming a little colder. 

This is City Hall in lights, tourists and other visitors take their photos with the facade when the decors and lights are in full swing. 

More details and angles below

Plaza Pershing has just recently completed its fountains and has become quite an attraction among the locals.

Street lanterns like these can be seen all over town.

The gazebo is also showered with lights and decors.

The street lamps in every corner are followed by street lanterns.

Balloon vendors also crowd the plaza at night for those who want to bring home a balloon as a souvenir.
