I'm an Earth Saver!

Lat Saturday, 03.28.09, a one hour-event happened all over the world. It is the Earth Hour. I was very pleased to be a part of that event. Ang say-saya. Parang nakakatouch talaga when the countdown to 8:30 happened. Everyone was counting 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and the lights were out along ayala ave. makati (Sa Tower One ang program for Makati). May mini program pa while patay ang mga ilaw. May nag sabayang bigkas, choral, band at lalo na ang fire dance. :D Ilang minuto after mamatay ng ilaw, we drove to Global City. While we were on our way, tinignan namin ang mga establishments, building at kung ano-ano na nagcooperate sa event. Siyempre meron paring hindi sumunod. Pero bakit kaya naglights out ang jollibee at ang chowking hindi? eh diba isang company lang yun hehe, pati ba naman yun naisip pa?! PAgdating sa GLobal City nyak nyak nyak mejo sablay. Kung gaano kadilim sa makati, ganun naman kaliwanag sa Global. Pero meron parin namang mga sumunod. Lalo na sa Papa Bear, xempre dun yung program ng taguig eh. Nkakatuwa naman yung mga taong nagparticipate. Kasi talgang willing sila to save mother earth from the dreaded effects of Global WArming. AT tuwang-tuwa din ako kasi nawitness ko yun. :D

SA 1 hour na pagpatay ng ilaw, nakasave ng 200+ trees. Diba very touching. Sana lang tulad ng sinabi ni Ms. Philippines, sana everyday ay earth hour. Edi siguro lalamig na sa Pilipinas ahehehe malay natin diba. :D

At ang pinaka masarap dun, ay ang food c/o Friday's and Hungry Hippo. wehehe jk lang ang pinakamsarap talaga ay yung nakatulong kay inang kalikasan weeh :D

As compared with last year's earth hour, mas successful yung ngayon. Kasi last year parang hindi maxadong aware yung mga tao sa earth hour eh. Ngayon kahi saan may prin ad. Sana next year better pa. At sana madaming pumunta next year, masaya yun promise. Yung thought pa lang to save OUR earth fulfilling na.

I wonder what did the people in other places and countries prepare for the Earth Hour?

When All Else Fails

Nakakatuwa naman. :D Kahit na we didn't win madami paring papuri na sobrang nakakataba ng puso. :D Thank you sa lahat ng mga sumuporta at naniwalang kaya namin. Alam ko sa sarili ko, kung perfect lang sana yung last 2 8 steps may place sana kami. lahat kami nagkamali sa part na yun, oo kahit ako. :D Pero kahit na palpak yung ending ang ganda ganda parin talaga. di lang mapost ang video kasi naman hehe si bang kasi makikilaptop pa. :D pero ang lungkot kapag binigay mo yung best mo tapos sinayaw mo na parang last dance na talga ng buhay mo tapos wala parin. 2 days ko kayang dinamdam yun. little by little ko siyang natanggap nun pinanood ko ng paulit-ulit yung video. at dun ko narealize kung bakit nga kami hindi nanalo. pero kung tutuusin may ibubuga talaga yung routine. 2 choreo ba naman yun eh. basta maganda xa, palpak lang talaga yung dulo pero yung walang muwang sa sayaw di naman nahalata hehe. Tska tama si MEth ng Fusion, hindi kasi dancers yung judges hindi nila alam ang mga techniques na ginawa namin. Solid talga yung 6 steps namin!

Kasama ang aking mahal na kaibigan nag-isip kami ng mga pampalubag-loob:
1. Eh ano kung talo, mabango naman. (Patama sa tooooot)
2. Masama lang kasi ang pakiramdam ni Bang. :D
3. Di kasi pantay-pantay yung flooring kaya ang hirap gumalaw.
4. Ang otro lado ang tunay na bida, natatalo sa simula pero bumabangon parin.
5. Sa grad ball sa amin ang huling halakhak.
6. Wala ngang place, magaganda naman ang face.
7. Di lang kasi inanounce ang 4th place kaya wala kami.
8. AT least, nakita parin ang aming galing at ganda.
9. Niyakap kami ni Ulitin ng mahigpit.
10. Nakakapagod lang talaga yung routine namin madaming steps na magaGANDA.

Eh ano kung dancer ka, OTRO LADO ka ba?! :D

My Last Dance

Two years ago, naaalala ko pa MSC launched its talent clash showdown were they produced competitions for talented students of CEU Makati. Sobrang nadown ako at nagsisi kasi hindi ako aware na magkakaroon ng ganun. Nakita ko na lang when i arrived at school from our community immersion may nakapost na sa bulletin board at ang deadline of registration ay expired na. Sobrang lungkot ko talaga nun. Lalo na nung dumating yung MSC Day at nakita ko yung mga dati kong kasma sa dance troupe na nag-join sa dance competition at sila pa nagchampion. Sabi ko na lang, may next year pa naman eh.

Dumating na yung year na yun, ganun parin at mas lumala. Lalo pa kaming naging busy with school works. Nakakaasar, walang time magpraktice at bumuo ng group. Dumating na naman yung araw ng competition, sa katunayan hindi ako nakanood kasi nga busy eh nasa delivery room ata ako nung mga panahon na yon at nagpapaanak. :c sana kahit makanood na lang eh noh. at yun na naman dating ka-troupe ko ang nanalo ulit. Talagang sinabi ko sa sarili ko dapat talaga next year makasali na ako, it will be my last chance so dapat talaga sumali ako.

Last year, August pa lang plinaplano ko na. nahirapan talaga ako makahanp ng members kasi yung iba hindi pwede, walang pera, hindi pinayagan, masyadong busy at iba naman hindi qualified haha jk lang. Pagdating ng end ng september bago magsem break buti na lang nabuo narin namin ang grupo. Pagkasimulang simula ng sembreak, nagpraktis na kami agad. nagprepare kami talaga, nagpagod, nagpawis, gumastos, tumulo ang dugo ay di pala may period lang pala haha eeewwwee. Basta naglagay kami ng effort ng bongang baonggang effort. Sa loob ng mga araw na iyon, maraming problema kaming hinarap haha. Ang schedule ng aming curriculum versus sa schedule ng msc. OH no! Immersion ata namin sa eliminations. Pero buti na lang napakiusapan at na-move. habang ngaprapraktis hindi maiiwasan ang mga hindi pagkakasunduan diba. Haha nakakatawa, mag-aaway kami tapos sa praktis parang walang nagyari basta sayaw nagkakaisa kami. :D At dahil jan naging finalist kami, kalaban ang mga dati naming kasamang sumasayaw.

At dumating na nga yung 2009. Unang balita kasi 2nd week daw ng january ang finals pero hindi naman tapos naging february tapos naging march tapos iyun march na talaga. sa monday na nga eh. at hindi ako makapinawala bukas ay march 23 na, monday na, finals na, battle na! Hayy sa wakas natupad narin ang pinangarap ko 2 years ago. Hindi ko naman inisip na mananalo kami dati, basta gusto ko lang makasayaw kasi gusto ko talaga magperform, pero ngayon xempre diba iba narin kapag mananalo diba.

Kaso lang sumasabay naman ang in-house review. kakainis. minsan na nga lang kami sumali masasabotahe pa ang mga susuporta samin. pero sana naman kahit na may review, makapunta parin sila, kasi iba talaga kapag andun sila eh. nung elimination konti na nga lang sila sana ngayon talaga andun sila. Di ko alam kung maeexcite ba ako o kakabahan. Sa totoo lang hindi ko siya masayaw ng perfect yung walang mali tulad ng mga sinasayaw ko dati hehe. Pero mamayang gabi promise magprapraktis ako para maperfect. Basta kapag absent ako bukas, masakit na naman ang katawan ko. :D

Salamat kay ida, cari, bang, jhoy, at jenny. Hindi naging madali. Sobrang nahirapan at madaming sinacrifice. Bahala na ang clearance natin kay mam locquiao basta makasayaw tayo. Di nga makakatulong sa board exam natin tong syaw pero diba kasi eto ang ating passion. Aside form nursing, dancing is our passion. Dancing is our otro lado. Kaya bukas ipapakita natin sa kanila kung anong meron tayo, ipapakita natin sa mga nang-away sa ating dancers kung anong kaibahan ng dance sa passion, kung pano mag-compete ang OTRO LADO. Good luck girls. before we top the board exam, let's conquer first the dance floor, our battlefield and bring home the bacon. GOD Bless BROL (Black Rose and Otro Lado)

Not Britney, but still about Britney. :D

Everybody loves talking about Britney! Well, except Britney. Check out some of the latest Britney-quotes from celebs this week:

Singer Lady Gaga on "Unusual You" off Circus via iTunes:
This is such a great song, I listened to 'Circus' on the plane, and when I got to this song I stopped, and played it over and over. It's so beautiful, and so sad, and I love the way it has an eerie sonic quality. As if the music was put into a funhouse mirror. Go girl. Great pop.



Fame-whore Miley Cyrus whining blogging about being famous:
"I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! Lucky me! haha Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what is on my heart. You guys know me and have been by my side every step of the way!"


Actress Dakota Fanning on meeting Britney in the latest issue of Parade magazine:
"I remember when I was very little my idol was Britney Spears. I had just come to California and that's just who I wanted to meet. So I was in a store and she walked in and my jaw just fell to the floor. I started like sweating. I could not believe that I was meeting her. She told me that I was very cute. And I lost it -- I was so excited."


Mom Lynne Spears on Britney:
It's all in my $25 book about exploiting my daughters, y'all!






I demand Lady Gaga open up for Brit in the UK!

Oh No! Poor Pressured Britney! :c

Since this isn't a happy story, most of you probably won't believe it. Just saying...

According to new reports, Britney is "suffering paralysing panic attacks as she prepares for her world tour."

Britney, who embarks on her "Circus" tour in less than a month, has been reportedly "throwing tantrums and locking herself in her room or bathroom amid 'terrible attacks of nerves.'"

Puppet-master Jamie Spears had to apparently call the doctors regarding Britney's fits.

One source said: "Britney is in danger of not going on tour as she has been having paralyzing panic attacks."

"Every time there is a crisis, Britney screams and cries and locks herself in her room. She has been telling her doctor she feels under pressure and ill when she thinks about touring."

"She is worried about being on the road without her kids, and fears that her performance will be branded a flop."

On top of the stress concerning the tour, Britney is currently in the midst of more legal battles, including a restraining order against Sam Lutfi & Adnan Ghalib, as well as a breach of contract suit filed by Lutfi.

Is this what Britney really needs? More pressure ontop of the immense stress put upon her already? Why are they rushing this? An even better question:

How can Britney tour for weeks on end, but can't live her life free from a conservatorship???

This just isn't right.

This Week's Tabloid Mess

Check out Britney on the latest cover of OK! magazine, claiming Britney is desperate to call old friends. I'm pretty sure they don't mean she's calling up her old friend Blanch from Golden Girls, rather friends she's known for a long time. Heh, get it. Britney is also featured on the latest issue of the ever-so-reliable National Enquirer, claiming Britney personal diaries are stolen: quote: "Hearing voices again... they won't go away Justin found out about pregnancy after the abortion Will be together with Kevin again, NO MATTER WHAT!" I smell a law suit! No covers for Star, People, In Touch, Us Weekly or Life & Style.
