 (Singing of a Birthday Song)

HOST: Let me share another good-to-know trivia to everyone on how birthday

cakes and candles came about as a tradition during birthdays. Some believe that
the tradition of birthday candles began in Ancient Greece. Putting candles on a
cake was a special way to pay tribute to the Greek moon goddess, Artemis. They
baked round cakes to symbolize the moon. Candles were added to represent the
reflected moonlight. Today’s tradition of making wishes before blowing out
the birthday candles may have started with that belief. Enough of all those did-you-
know trivia because at this part of the program, our lovely and stunning RAPUNZEL
will blow the candles on her birthday cake. And to complete that customary
practice, let us all sing joyfully a song I am very sure everybody is familiar with, the
happy birthday song!

 (Special Number)
HOST: Earlier, we were serenaded by the very talented . At
this moment, are we ready to move and groove? I can’t here you, are we ready to
move and groove? Ladies and gentlemen, here’s a dance number from our
debutant herself! Let’s put our hands together for RAPUNZEL and friends!

 (The Making))

HOST: AS WHAT I HAVE QUESTIONED EARLIER THAT, What is the essence of

this celebration without further knowing some of the important information of
our debutant? "While some of you are still feasting on the delicious buffet and
the decadent dessert, I would like to ask you to turn your attention to our
projector for another AVP. You will be surprised about some of the most
undisclosed information and intriguing revelations of Rapunzel’S 18 TH BDAY
“THE MAKING”. I know you will love it and will love Rapunzel too.
