different events...one big celebration

no matter what event it may be...

the message is clear: TIS THE SEASON TO GIVE, CELEBRATE and REFLECT...

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

congrats to MPC and PCC children's choir ^_^

i had a pre-occupied saturday as a guest for the Himig ng Pasko 2008 Grand Finals, which was held at Star Theater, Pasay City...

the finalists were good...but of course, hats off to my fellow choirmates...Music and Praise Chorale...and our kiddie counterparts, Pasig Catholic College Children's Choir...

Pasig Catholic College won 3rd place...

Music and Praise Chorale won 2nd place with a whopping Php50,000...wuhoo!!!

congrats guys!!!!...the hard work, sleep-less nights were all worth it...you deserve the credits...

congrats to bro. bert edades...malupet po talaga ang talent nyo...HATS OFF!!!

CHEERS TO ALL!!! ^_^

confirmed...it was really him

despite the agony of commuting caused by the "Anti-Chacha" Rally, no human barriers could have stopped us to celebrate my dad's 50-something bday yesterday @ North Park, Market Market Branch...

and without wasting time, we headed home after dinner and a walk at Boni High Street to watch the Survivor Philippines - Finale...at for blogger-fanatics, no wonder who won last night with 3 million pesos...

well...yes...it was him...the rumors on the internet were true enough...some people are just covering up the real deal...

oh well...LESSON OF THE STORY: Winners should really be kept safe until the real score comes out...In layman's term, keep the secret until time requires it to do so...So that reality shows will provide excitement till the end and not by saying "ah ok...sya nga tlga ang nanalo"...

but then again, congrats to JC Tiuseco...one lucky guy!!!

one more to go...

i'd just like to take this very small chance to congratulate the choir where i'm in...

to Music and Praise Chorale, from Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Pasig City...

one BIG CONGRATS!!!...

for winning the semi's of the Himig ng Pasko 2008 held at Star City last night...

one step to go --- Grand Finals on Saturday at 6:00pm, same venue...

still...one BIG GOOD LUCK!!!...

in triumph and in sorrow...

3 days ago, December 7, was a very memorable day in history in the field of sports and local showbiz...

in triumph...

past 12:00 noon, over the AM radio, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao won by technical knockout against a boxing legend, Oscar "Golden Boy" De La Joya at Las Vegas, Nevada, USA...it may not have been an easy fight but at the start of the game, it was pretty obvious Pacquiao would win the bout...he wasn't just able to add a laurel for Filipinos to look forward of being proud for something, but he made the country unite even just for a day...

he ain't just an athlete and a celebrity now, but he's bound to be a legend soon enough...

in sorrow...

that very same day, Dec 7, Starstruck Batch 3 Winner, Marky Cielo was found dead in his residence in Antipolo...his death still remains a mystery...but definitely, a loss in the showbiz industry at his tender age of 20...

there are a lot of speculations, whatever those maybe, i just hope he finally rests in peace...

** in triumph, there are so many reasons to be proudly Pinay, but then again, we shouldn't just be settled as spectators, but as active participants in making our country a better place to live in, especially in these trying times...

** in sorrow, death really brings sorrow to those who are left, but wallowing in mourning won't help either...it is just a new beginning that will depend on us how to deal with it...the late actor could have still done so much in his life but then again, he already came to the end of the line...being a loyal Kapuso myself, i'm sad and i'll miss his dance moves on tv...rest in peace man ^_^

and so there it goes, new reasons to live life well and at it's fullest...
