Bactidol 12 Hour Singathon: One Great Night!

Sunday, April 01, 2012

We Filipinos love to sing and it was a grand time last Saturday to do just that. Imagine 8 or more of your barkadas singing to the tunes of 60's 70's 80's 90's and today's music in the confines of the posh VIP rooms of RED BOX in Eastwood City. It's time to test out how literally effective Bactidol is so they whipped up this 12 hour Singathon for these challengers. The winner will win 20 thousand pesos in cold cash just by finishing the whole 12 hours... That's from 12pm to 12am. This grueling task isn't easy but they did the best thing to protect them from sore throat and oral infection, they gargled with Bactidol!


It was also the first time that I saw two of the most talkative people in the morning Chico and Delamar. Being the silent rusher that I am I grabbed to opportunity to capture them with my lens whilst hosting the show. They even made me sing before the countdown as a warmup for the whole evening, but it was futile singing "I will survive" when I'm a guy LOL!



Then when the activity started i monitored the teams inside the rooms. Thinking about how many songs they had to sing that evening, they had several strategies on how to accomplish staying up those 12 hours. Some slept while others just kept awake, some just stood up and even danced to keep their energies up but it was one thing that everyone did before they started; they all gargled Bactidol.


Red Box Eastwood was so full of singers, non singers and wannabes but it was all for fun! They all sang to the tunes without hesitation. They were not allowed to semi sing these numbers or make a poem out of it. They needed to sing with all their hearts even if it rntails belting like divas or growling like rockers. Some even sang for food or drinks so they generally kept themselves hydrated and fed throughout the evening.




Aside from the 12 hour singathon, there was a challenge room where you can pit against another competitor. This will also need the help of your friends because the votes will be through online means. Some did good while others miserably failed but they were never worried and did their best for FUN! They will win lots of prizes courtesy of Bactidol of course! 


In the room, they did not only have us as audience but some celebrities went in on the fun! Kitchie Nadal, Ebe Dancel and Barbie Almalbis took everyone by surprise. They laughed and sang along with us to the delight of spectators. They even visited the rooms to check on the contestants, it was a great night indeed!


The night ended with a remarkable achievement because officially NO ONE gave up their spot and endured the whole 12 hours of videoke kingship at Red Box Eastwood. It only meant one thing, they all won 20 Thousand Smuckeroos! Yes it was that easy to win it because they all gargled BACTIDOL right from the start. I'm sure no one had problems singing more after that!

Congratulations to all the winners and for those who would like to continue voting for their peers who also joined the Bactidol Idol contest you still have time to vote on their Facebook page!

Photos from the Presscon: Hanson's Shout it Out Tour - Manila

Friday, March 30, 2012

I guess it's hightime that I share some photos from the press conference. Yeap it was indeed an honor to see them in the flesh! I've been a Hanson fan since time in memorial (Circa 1997) but really it doesn't show in my age. It's been ages and they've all grown up, they even got their own families and kids now. Imagine how much I stuttered whilst asking them questions.. geeze!













Now if that doesn't convince you that it's fun to actually be in their concert this weekend at the Araneta Coliseum and in Waterfront Hotel in Cebu, I don't even know what will!

Thanks to the Hansons for being so kind and entertaining a while ago. I'll post the HD video when I have the time. Make sure to stay tuned here for more updates on their Manila tour!

An Easy, Fun Filled Galactic Easter at Marriott Hotel Manila!

There are several things that I need to do in order to celebrate Easter with kids this season. Wake up, wash my face, take tons of time in the market, prepare everything first, then cook. After that you need to also take time and paint all the eggs you need to hide from these smart ones then let them feast and celebrate the coming of Christ into this world. That entails thousands of pesos, plus labor and time that I don't really have. It's a good thing there are several establishments who are already aware of this problem and make necessary arrangements to make that one day for the kids very special. 

At Marriott Hotel Manila there is a Big Bang Stay package for only P10, 980 net and this includes two tickets to the Lost in Space Easter Party and Game Zoo credits at the Newport Mall. This promo runs from April 1 to 10 with minimum two nights stay. Or you can opt for the great Easter Party for only P500 (kid) and P1, 000 (adult) entrance fees. This event has been packed since 2010 and it'll be even bigger this year! There will be games, prizes and surprises awaiting those who want to avail of these promos. World class Executive Chef Meik Brammer has prepared a spectacular menu to the delight of kids and their families. They will also take home lots of goodies from Marriott and different vendors so you're surely get your money's worth and MORE! Or if you prefer a more intimate setting, you can avail of the Marriott Cafe experience for only 2,500 pesos inclusive of one Lost in Space Easter party ticket. Their brunch buffet is quite a grand spread and you'll choose between fourteen different food stations so you know your degustation is just starting!  


Need I say more? Make sure you call Marriott Hotels Manila and reserve a spot on their highly awaited Easter Party, it's the best advice I could give you this lent.

Hanson "Shout it Out!" Live in Manila!

1

Who in the right mind would forget Hanson? We literally grew up listening to their songs and dance quite profusely at that time. It spawned a new generation of music that even the young ones connected with. I know they visited the country a couple of times already but this one is special, it looks like they have come out with a new CD called SHOUT IT OUT and why not its about time that they do a comeback after a long hiatus!

The great recording company PolyEast, record mogul Astrovision/Astroplus will have an Autograph Signing Event for all Hanson fans who bought their latest CD! This will be in two locations on Thursday, March 29 6:00 p.m. at The Block - SM North EDSA and on Saturday, March 31 2:00 p.m. at SM Cebu. Fans from Manila and Cebu will definitely be part of this as the Hanson “Shout It Out” Tour will commence on March 30 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and March 31 at Waterfront Hotel Cebu courtesy of Production outfit Dayly Entertainment!


Robin Nievera who just released his first album called "Overwait" released by Polyeast Record will also be doing the front act. Isaac, Taylor, and Zac can't wait to see Filipinos rock to their songs once again now that they're back in Manila, then Cebu! Will they see you there? I hope!

America's Next Top Model Cycle 18 is on ETC!

Wanna be on TOP?!

That's Fierce. Whenever you see or hear these words only one thing comes to mind and that's ANTM. ETC has been bringing you world class shows in cable television and even through Channel 9 these past few years and its high time that they add a notch to what they have been achieving through America's Next Top Model. It's the show that started everything for most men and women in Fashion, it glamorizes the industry further and inspires millions of people around the world. Tyra Banks must be crazy not to know how precious her pet project is but I know for a fact that she does. I love the show's judges/hosts too like Jay Alexander, Jay Manuel, Nigel Barker, Andre Leon Talley, Twiggy, Janice Dickenson among others. They are their own characters. In fact I learned to SMIZE too! LOL!

The throng of models who have passed the corridors of this show proves how they are significant in creating the true top model they look for. I love the last season before the ANTM All Stars because I related to Ann the most. She was always the tall one and always got the weirdo statements and look from other people but when she gets captured on film or digital media, she's just amazing! Her story just like the other models are so inspiring. I love how it touches real life just like anyone of us. This season though it's war between the US and UK, imagine models sticking out their nails just to get to the top made extra challenging because you have your country to represent! You guys should definitely watch Cycle 18 as stars like Kelly Osbourne, Kris Jenner, Estelle and Georgina Chapman of Marchesa drops by to check on the models. ANTM airs every Monday at 8PM on ETC, make sure you watch it or else catch it on free tv via Channel 9.

Fans of the show were treated last Monday via ANTM Quiz Show at posh Vogue in Makati, I'll post photos a little later on. Thank you ETC for the wonderful evening!
