Speed of Sound!

Had a grand time watching with friends the live finale of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 last weekend. It surely felt different watching the show as a regular audience member this time. Different here means fun since I was not working behind the scenes. (Live shows are just not my forte! :D)

Inspired by the music or rather feeling "bitin" by the night's performances, we trooped to Center Stage KTV after where we channeled our inner "scholar" and sang our hearts out no matter how bad we, or specifically I, sound. Hence, this video. Haha!



For the record, I was rooting for Liezel but Yeng Constantino forever! :)

27th!

Kakauwi ko lang from our show's Christmas Party! Ang saya! Kung gusto mo ng kantahan, pumunta ka nang piano room at maki-sing along with Teacher Monet. Kung gusto mo ng sayawan, sa garden naman. Kung gusto mong tumagay, andaming alkohol sa paligid. Kung gusto mong magpa-piktyur lang sa bahay at sa mga scholars, libre kang gawin yun. Hehehe. Sa academy ko pala sinalubong ang aking birthday. :) Wala lang, kinantahan lang ako ng Happy Birthday. Kaso marami pala kami. Hahahaha. Si Teacher Sweet, si Davey, si PA Ron, at may iba ring mga taga ibang departamento. :) Di ko pa alam kung anong gagawin ko later. Tulog muna ako. :)

Grand Dream Night, Tonight!

Shameless plugging na naman po! Grand Dream Night na tonight ng Pinoy Dream Academy. Sana manood po kayo. Promise, entertaining ang mga production numbers. Based sa rehearsals kanina, I particularly love Yeng & Jay-R's Himala duet, the use of The Dawn's Enveloped Ideas as the umbrella song of the love medley, the fun production number of the faculty and ex-scholars, Panky's version of Queen's We Will Rock you and Yeng's rendition of her own composition Ang Awitin. Alam ko tight ang mga text votes kaya it's anybody's ball game talaga. Personally, I'm rooting for Yeng to win because after all has been said and done, this is still a talent contest and Yeng has "it"! :) Tsaka pinaka plus points talaga niya sa akin is her being a prolific songwriter. 'Yun naman kasi ang edge ng show namin against PI. May mga songwriters kaming contestants. Kaya sana singer-songwriter na commercially-viable ang mananalo sa PDA.

Pero I think any among Jay-R, Ronnie or Yeng will win tonight.

Mami-miss ko rin ang show na 'to. Honestly, mas nag-enjoy ako working dito kesa PBB. Mas clear kasi sa akin ang konsepto ng show and at the same time, I love music. Mami-miss ko rin ang mga alaga namin ni Marcus na scholars. Haha. Na-assign kasi kaming mga SE's to be the handlers/managers of the scholars while they're inside the academy. Napunta sa amin sina Yvan, Davey, Oona & Nyora. Sadly, walang nakapasok sa mga alaga namin sa Honor List of 6 pero mami-miss ko yung mga one-on-one sessions namin with them. Enjoy palang maging manager! :D And for that, I will post my picture with Nyora. Hahaha!

Future Philippine Idols

Just got back from Mimosa where some of the finalists of Pinoy Dream Academy are housed for 5 days to train for their production numbers for the grand kick-off this Saturday. (The others are housed in Cebu). Work was tiring but fun. Got attached to the students and I'm sure my heart will be broken when I see them being cut off from the competition. Below is a behind-the-scenes video which I took during their rehearsals. Take a closer look because one of them might be the next Philippine Idol (Ooops, wrong show! :D)
