The "

Your word is "caterjeunes." That's C-A-T-E-R-J-E-U-N-E-S. Caterjeunes.

Watched the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee with Carlo at the RCBC over the weekend. It was great. It was funny. It was a perfect weekend activity.

Throughout the show, the audience laughed out loud. But there were also moments when the crowd went completely silent, and waited as the "spellers" struggled with the word. And when the bell was hit to signify an incorrect spelling, everyone seemed to have felt bad that the "speller" was eliminated.

The cast was great. Each one did his/her role superbly and each character's personality was perfectly played out by the cast, which included Felix Rivera, Thea Tadiar, Rycharde Everley, Johann dela Fuente, Pheona Baranda, and Carla Guevara-Laforteza. Cathy Azanza-Dy, Joel Trinidad and Noel Rayos complete the cast. It's hard to pick a favorite character because each one has his/her own personality. I thought Johann's character, Leaf Coneybear, was cute though. Haha!

Guest spellers that night were Christian Bautista and Gina Pareño (when her name was called, everyone went "ooooohhhh..."). Two other people from the audience were also picked as guest spellers. I guess it would have been fun to be a guest speller. Hahaha!

Congrats to the cast and production!

Spelling Bee runs until April 4. Go watch it!
