Anyhoo…

InCHOIRer placed first… runner-up in last Friday’s media choral competition held at Teatrino in Greenhills. (Congrats to Hannah and other members of GMA-7’s brilliant choir for bagging the top prize.) Our group won P100,000, huweee. Ang maganda pa nito, Hyundai, the competition’s sponsor, will donate the same amount to our chosen organization, Hands On Manila. Salamat sa Hyundai for this wonderful project :-)

(Bayani of Inquirer’s Entertainment section wrote an article about the competition, which you will find here.)

Ang saya, nanalo pa kami considering we only had about six rehearsals. Tapos nakumpleto lang kami the night before the contest :) ) Mahirap ma-achieve ang perfect attendance kasi maraming reporters sa amin, lagi silang nasa field.

Kaya naman ang tamis when judge Louie Ocampo said we were ”very excellent.” “The harmony, the costume, the choreography…are all good.”

Judges Kitchy Molina of Pinoy Dream Academy and singer Ivy Violan appreciated our all-Filipino repertoire. Bayani interviewed Ivy Violan yesterday and she said, ”We thought that after GMA 7’s performance, the contest was over. But after the InCHOIRer’s number, I got torn. Sumakit ang ulo namin.”

Hee =D

Heto ang ilang piktyurs!

we're the number one paper in metro manila and in the entire country!

we're the #1 paper in the metro and in the whole country!

Maraming salamat din pala kina Sir Jerry (Dadap, our choir master), sa ilang miyembro ng Andres Bonifacio choir at sa rondalla sa kanilang tulong at pasensya.

Before I end this post, let me share with you a memorable quote from the night’s host (whose identity I will not reveal):

Host: Good luck, Inquirer! I am keeping your fingers crossed.

Erm, that’s so nice of you (?)

P.S. will post the video once I remember how to :))

Ilang araw na akong walang disenteng tulog kaya naman matindi ang toyo ko kahapon. But my mood instantly became sunshine-y when I got home from work.

Siyempre marami akong nakolektang Cocoyisms:

 

Cocoy: *after watching a video of himself* That’s totally awesome!

* * *

Ate Trisha (Paolo’s sister and Cocoy’s Mommy): Sabi ni Cocoy ready na raw siya to go to school… Oh my God, I thought this day would never come! *hugs Cocoy* Magaling naman ito e, ‘di ba?

Cocoy: I’m trying…

* * *

Paolo: *calls househelp in an operatic voice* Marie! Mariiieeeee!

Cocoy: *puts down fried chicken, looks at Tito Pao* Figaro figarooooo!

* * *

Cocoy: *sees “Miyayay,” Paolo’s mom* Miyayay! You’re alive!

 

Ang sarap kidnap-in ano? :-D Anyway, heto ang ilang piktyurs:

I love this kid :-)
