Glee - The Journey To Regionals

Last night I watched the Season Finale of Glee and I can't help being so emotional at the end. The Journey Medley is the perfect song for the Regionals but unfortunately, their rivals, Vocal Adrenaline's version of Bohemian Rhapsody is much much better. Still, I am amazed with the New Direction's performance. Now that the Season is over, I just have to wait for some time to see them again perform. See you in Season 3 Gleeks! This is their performance of a lifetime - so nice!

Double Victory!

Yesterday is a big day for me because it is the Game 1 of NBA Finals and our HSBC Live Glee performance. Fortunately, all things went in my favor because the Lakers won over the Celtics by 13 points and we won first place in our Beyonce-style show. This is actually my first time to join the HSBC Live and I can say that I had fun and after four sleepless nights, we can finally say that it’s all worth it. I have to give credit to our choreographer and mentor, Joe Villareal, because she not only teach us the moves but also make us feel what it needs to win as a team. She’s very competitive, passionate and fantastic! I also appreciate the help of Memon Buenaflor, Jamie Gregorio, Pia Deveza, Beth, and MJ for our beautiful costumes and make-up. Of course, I am grateful to have my co-dancers and singers, Jenny, Anna, Crissy, Rose, Rica, Em, Chi, Che, Harvey, Brylle, Patrick, and of course, Joe. We should all celebrate for this once in a lifetime great performance of us. Actually, I am very overwhelmed with all the reactions of my friends because they liked what we do especially the “Single Ladies” part which many did not expect me doing that. They are all asking me how did they convinced me to do “that” and I told them I really don’t know but I’m still very shy by doing that. But it’s all been done and I’m very proud of what it pays for. The crowd really loved it. Overall, I will never ever forget this experience and I hope that I can join again this kind of event. Who knows? Maybe next year again. Good Job!

The Scowl of a Black Mamba

NBA is always fun to watch with all the physical and intense drama on the court. Since 2000, I became a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers after they beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. I first watched Kobe Bryant’s heroic moment in Game 4 where he carried the team in overtime after Shaquille O’neal got fouled out before the end of regulation. That is just an amazing act of talent and skill by such a great player. By this showcase, I followed every game of Kobe and the Lakers. Who could ever thought that Kobe Bryant will be considered one of the greatest player ever played the NBA?

If there’s one thing I have learned from watching Kobe Bryant is that you must possess not just talent and skill, but a mental focus on your goal. If you will look in his eyes, it’s like watching a snake to catch its prey. It’s a sense of determination to achieve his only main goal which is to win games and win championships. Without a doubt, Kobe is the only player they can only compare to Michael Jordan because of their similarities in playing and the love of basketball. But I believe that Kobe have his own image that maybe ten years from now rookies will also be compared to him. In the future he will leave his mark and right now, with Kobe and his troops four games away from winning another championship, I can only cherish every moment of this and thank Jerry West for bringing Kobe Bryant to the world.
