Two teachers at ISM are my new heroes. They put together music videos that incorporate various ISM students, teachers, administrators, secretaries, and security guards. It is a fun way for you to get a glimpse of our school.
I heard about them when I got word that they may invade the preschool class with cymbals for a new project to Beastie Boys' Sabotage.
Cick on the link below- my favorite part is when the students do the hammer dance- though the security guards bump is a close second.

Agapito and the magic whistle
There are no lack of security guards in Manila. They are found in front of most entrances to banks, restaurants, and businesses. Most have rather large shotguns hanging on their side.
The security guard outside of the restaurant Apartment 1b has no weapon. He only has his whistle. From time to time, he walks down to the sidewalk and plays a little tune with his whistle. Last night, Heather and I were enjoying some dessert at Apartment 1b when this security guard played a little tune with his whistle. I remarked, "I love this guy!" He turned around with a smile to see both Heather and I smiling in return.
A few minutes later he came to our table, placed a cd in front of us and said, "A souvenir for you." The cd is entitled "Merry Christmas w/ the Magic Whistle." He introduced himself to us. His name is Agapito and we have fallen in love. The cd is delightful- I will try to figure out how to attach a copy of one track so you can have a listen.
Apparently, the Christmas season is just beginning here in the Philippines. These people are nuts about Christmas!
