Leap Preschool Summer Activities

By | For kids, Summer | 3 Comments

From my former classmate in gradeschool at St. Paul’s Pasig, Marilou Zalamea-Acero. She started Leap 12 years ago with a friend.  Wow!  This is the second St. Paul’s gradeschool friend who started their own pre schools.  Tricia Eusebio Hosaka ( Little Apprentice – December 28, 2008  and   Young Learners Collaborative Summer Program 2008 ) and now Marilou.  I am so proud of them!  

That Yaya program seems so interesting!

        Women’s Collection

Contrasting colours and explorations in silhouettes are the striking features of Tod’s latest collection.  Chic, contemporary and with attention to the most minute detail make each and every Tod’s piece unique and unparalleled.  The collection is glamorous, sophisticated and luxurious without ever being ostentatious and is, above all, created to last a lifetime.

BAGS

The Tod’s G-Bag tote is perfect for every occasion. Spacious, chic and versatile with saddlery detail and hand stitching, it reflects the brand’s artisanal soul and the renowned fine craftsmanship inherent to Tod’s.

The collection evolves with a series that is structured in shape and softened with curved corners and elongated zips. Tactile in jewel leathers, this range includes a miniature shoulder bag in precious white crocodile, fuchsia python bauletto, turquoise calfskin shopper and green python weekender.

Two pieces with saddlery detail – one in soft suede with contrasting calfskin straps recalling the equestrian world and an oversized shoulder bag in the finest nappa leather, so light, and sophisticated – complete the Collection.s20097.jpgdsc_0590.JPG

SHOES

Footwear for Spring/Summer 2009 continues to evolve from the hand stitched classic gommini and loafer to the chicest of high heels, Mary Jane ballerina and summer light jelly thong. 

Key to this Collection is the use of the finest leathers, precious skins, metallics and patents.

From flats and wedges to heels, key details include saddlery stitching, multi straps and buckles, leaf appliqués and tassels.

SHOES

The Gommino takes pole position for next season.  J.P. Loafer, in limited edition and exclusively made with a ‘Tod’s’ penny in the toe cap, is handcrafted using the most traditional artesian techniques, mastered by cobblers over the century. It celebrates one of Tod’s iconic styles which has been valued for decades the world over by clients with a passion for detail, fine quality and the best of ‘Made in Italy’. 

For Spring/Summer 2009 the Gommini gets a new twist with laces, tassels or fringes. The Collection evolves to include loafers and super light lace-up brogues and a new line of sneakers in utilitarian colours with metallic highlights; from sport to casual elegance in style.

The Manila Soccer Academy ( MSA ) had their culminating activity to end this year’s first module for the summer.  There will be a new module which starts June 9 to August 1.

Maxi and Maricel organize and head MSA.  They are there everyday to supervise the classes.

Stefano is the son of Maxi and Maricel and the classmate of Jaime.  This kid always amazes me.  That day he was acting as coach for Javier’s team.  I was listening to him and he was telling the kids not to blame the goalie and that everyone has to work as a team.
