Sing Your Way to Ireland!

I must admit; I haven't been religiously practicing my vocal chords lately but yeah I've done quite a number of drinking sessions and karaoke nights in my lifetime. Music has been part of the Filipino culture and true enough we've had tons of champions in the past!

With that in mind, why haven't we joined the Karaoke World Championships? Yes, there is a competition with that name and I'm sure they are just as threatened now that KWC Philippines Inc. has got the license to get the Philippines represented this year! They are now holding auditions looking for that Male and Female Champion that will go to Killarney, Ireland later this September. There will be no professional singers allowed! So your chance is as good as mine!

How do you join the KWC Trials?

To join the Philippine Trials for the 2011 KWC to be held from September 8 to 10 in Killarney, Ireland, you must purchase WOW Concerto, WOW Mabuhay, WOW Fiesta, WOW Music Video Pack, or a WOW Song Video Pack within the period of May 1 to June 30, 2011.

Only buyers of WOW Videoke products during the promo period or their nominees (call them so they can find you a donor too!) are eligible to join the KWC Philippine Trials.

The daily trials for Philippine contestants will be held from May 30 to July 9, 2011, from Monday to Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM. The KWC Daily Trials venue at 1081 EDSA, Balintawak, Quezon City (formerly AMWAY Building). I went there with some blogger friends too last Saturday and yes we did try to join the competition. Unfortunately because of my good looks and awesome voice I got to stand as a judge instead LOL!

Hosting the event was Jayson and Ana of Karaoke World Championship Philippines!

Three things to accomplish is to join the KWC and get that coveted crown, get local contestants for the Male and Female Category and host the next one in the Philippines!

The bloggers showed how it's done and tried to sing out their competition! As you can see they really tried!!! LOL

Winning the contest for the bloggers was Kenneth Ignacio, congratulations! =)

Yes the CEO and KWC also gave away prizes to the bloggers who joined the contest!
Of course you need to practice more at home then audition in the Daily Trials to get to Ireland! ^_^

Need I say more? I thought so! So if you know you're doing good singing those songs at home, try your luck and join the competition now!

I'd like to take this bit and thank everyone at Karaoke World Championships, Breville, WOW Videoke, Sennheiser and these guys!


Kapish!?

ATENEO BLUE EAGLES : Champions of UAAP Season 71

Ateneo Blue Eagles won over La Salle Green Archers 62 to 51.

Ateneo Blue Eagles has taken the UAAP Season 71 Seniors Basketball Championship and won 11 points ahead of La Salle Green Archers. The key to the game was defense... La Salle tried to stop towers like Rabeh al-Hussaini in the Championship game held at the Araneta Coliseum but failed since this tank was really unstoppable inside the paint... even if he was not given that much playtime since he played only three minutes in the first half after being assessed two early fouls.

DLSU played a very physical game because they wanted to get this one. With the refs as tight as they were, they should have expected those calls... Pumaren did not accept the 1st Runner up trophy in the ceremonies and opted to say after the game this statement:

"“We were called for 29 fouls and Ateneo 13. Ganu’n ba talaga sila kagaling dumipensa?" Pumaren said.

Is this a classless act? Well from the standard of an onlooker like me it's a big YES.... I was even rooting for La Salle today... but this particular gesture was a little uncalled for. Maierhofer on the other hand was ejected after he incurred a second technical because of an unsportsmanlike gesture at the 1:31 stage of the third quarter. Both teams suffered from tight officiating. La Salle starters Bader Malabes and James Mangahas and Ateneo’s Chris Tiu were forced to ride the bench for most of the game because of early foul trouble.

In the end, Ateneo prevailed and wins this one as they were the stronger team. Now its time for their Championship Bonfire, I hope I get invited so I could bring out my own set of marshmallows and make some smores! ^_^

But next season, I'd still be rooting for my UE Red Warriors! Go Fight Red and White! Pamantasan ng Silangan Talunin ang Kalaban! ^_^
