Two birthdays

June 25, 2008 1:07 AM

In exchange of the opportunity to witness his second child’s birth, a special assignment was given to Jet. He had to make his co-Scholars go to bed early so that he could quietly creep his way out the door and straight to a lying-in clinic in Binangonan, Rizal, where her fiancée is about to give birth to their child.

He admitted that he and his fiancée were expecting a baby girl, but surprisingly, their blessing happened to be another baby boy. When he got back in the Academy, the excited father could not spill a word regarding his new baby. For him to do so, he had to perform another task – he had to drink blended saluyot juice from a baby bottle.

Without any hesitation, he did the task just to have the privilege of sharing his story regarding his newly born son. His stomach probably made some complaints, but his enthusiasm to take pride of the fact that he is now a father of two was enough inspiration for him to finish the whole bottle.

He felt so contented that he had a chance to be by his fiancée’s side as she gave birth to their youngest, and with that he was very thankful.

Aside from Jet’s son, Scholar Laarni also celebrated her birthday yesterday. It sure was a special day for Laarni, because for once, she felt that she belongs inside the Academy.

As an in-house teacher, Sir Monet greeted Laarni a happy birthday with a bouquet of flowers early that morning. Having a great morning greeting at hand, Laarni was inspired to prepare something special for her co-Scholars, so she made an apple jam for all of them. Most of her co-Scholars appreciated her effort, but sadly, her “in-house critics” made no exceptions. Even though it was Laarni’s birthday, Bea and Iñaki couldn’t help but make fun of her cooking due to her weird choice of mixtures.

Despite another backstabbing session, the day still remained to be Laarni’s. For Uberture, Billy Crawford paid her a surprise visit to personally greet her with a cake. After that, her co-Scholars also performed their surprise present for her—a song and dance number they had prepared that same morning.

It sure was a special day for Laarni, and she couldn’t be more thankful for it. Could this possibly be the start of her good relationship with all her co-Scholars? Find out on Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2.
