January was really my special month not just because it's the month of my birthday but a lot of awesome opportunities stepped in. Kinda so busy with my raket everywhere. After all the stress I can finally hit my mind as the keyboard complement to it. Happy Birthday:
Birthdays are just an ordinary day for me. Like preparing foods, presents, the colorful balloons that adds color to the party, was not really my style when celebrating my birthday. Greetings and hugs are the perfect essence for me when talked about birthdays.
Last January 21, I turned 22 and I welcomed it with a very boastful heart to tell the world that I'm a more matured adult. Celebrating it with my loved ones made my birthday a very joyous one.
Grace made an effort to give me a card with all the birthday greetings of my psychmates and former block mates who's in far places nah. See? She made it possible to joint them in one event. Hahaha...it's so nice to see that people made an effort to greet me even the ones whom I haven't knew greeted me as well. Sobrang saya!
With my dance mates presents, okay it was my lil sis idea to surprise me. What she did actually, she did not make pansin for 4 days before my birthday. Sobrang na tiis niya yun and I was in pain na because how can she not make pansin without me knowing what was happening gyud. Until the day of my birthday, it was raining then and we have a rehearsal. Aura want me to changed na my rehearsal outfit nah. But the moment I opened the door after I changed, I'm just so shocked to see my lil sis and my other dance mates holding on to this cake and everybody said 'happy birthday'. Super touch ako! My lil sis said sorry and said it took her a lot of courage to not talk to me for 4 days. Maam Lago was even mad na pud for doing so. Kalurkee! Haha..
But really, every time it snapped on my mind, it brings me jud sa cloud nine. Hahaha...super saya na sobrang thank you mga mahal ko for remembering my day. I hoped I can return the same favor soon. :)
Concert Tour: Malitbog, Bukidnon
*the first photo where the venue of our concert. That was around 6 am in the morning, taking a walk to feel the cool breeze of that place. The second one was after our very gleeful show!
Finally! The concert tour kicks-off last January 24, 2009. First stop? Malitbog, Bukidnon. A place of God's wonderful creation. I love the place, the people. Money really can't cost the experience.
The bilar and chika moments, the door-to-door meal, the carry those plywood girls, the no ligo-no toothbrushing performers, Hahahaha...that's how gross we are when we performed that night. The hardships and stress was well paid by the positive feedback of the people there. It is where I saw the unity of our group. Where just new to the world of theater but our perseverance to make it was our weapon to go on with it.
On February will be hitting Surigao and Davao. Excited!
Pilipinas Got Talent:
Okay people, joining Pilipinas Got Talent was never on our agenda. But as opportunity knocks, why not grab it dba? Sir Jeff of ABS-CBN Manila visited as last Nov during our rehearsal for XIMBOLO. He watched us and then told us to why not try to audition. After that Sir Sai asked as to go for it or not. We said why not, wala namang mawawala kung matanggap o hindi. And so it goes...we get in!
Last January 30, that was for Mindanao Qualifiers. Sir Sai was hesitating actually to join or not since we only have 3 days to prepare for our piece. To think were only given two minutes to perform and two minutes was not that easy to make. But then again, we take it. Everyone of us are to eager to grab a slot for it.
The day comes to showcase our 2 minute piece in front of the judges. Kris Aquino, Ai-ai de las Alas and Mr. Freddie Garcia (former president of ABS-CBN). At the back stage, we can feel each others heart beat. Lahat talaga kinakabahan, marinig lang yung boses ni Miss Kris. Kalurkee!
But when we stepped into the stage and she said (kris) 'wow ang ganda nang costume, baby pink!' Every one of us was so gigil na to perform. The we did! We got the 3 yes from them and then voila! Manila here we come! Super naka drop lang yung jaw ni Ms. Kris the whole performance and then the 3 of them applauded us. Their smiles and applause guaranteed us a Manila trip. Sarap!
I still couldn't believe the blessings we were taking on now. God made our January so fruitful and hoped in the upcoming months di mag sasawa si God. Love you Lord!
* that's how insane my January is..lahat good vibes. Whew! :D Then with it, I win back my self. Mahal ko na naman ang dance mates ko. But I do hope kasama nung success eh less naman sa heart aches. Hahaha...meyganun? Love you my real-best-friend!
