Smart Jump In Dance Off 3 Winners and James Reid

Pasil Elementary School, CSA Makati and PUP are the CHAMPIONS of #SmartJumpInDanceOff3 congratulations!

It was fun, it was exciting and it was grand. I couldn't even accurately describe what I saw earlier at the Smart Jump In Dance Off 3 held in Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.

This year, they've got about 25 teams who came from different parts of the country to vie for the finals round of the Grade School, High School and College divisions. I had my bets, especially the regional ones which had really good production value. I also was expecting some of them to have placed higher but I also agree in the judges decision. They might have some technical things looked at which is probably different from an ordinary spectators point of view. These guys, gals and everything in between are very skilled. I could tell some of them probably didn't have any sleep and perhaps some of them also chose to practice outside the Araneta Coliseum lobby instead of just relaxing in the bleachers before the show.

They traveled far just to make it to this round and it would be disappointing if they didn't give their best. Though from what we saw that evening, they had fun, they gave it their all, and it would already be an honor to be with the best mega crews in the country. Thanks to Smart for getting these teams a venue to show what they've got. Now the Philippines, soon the world!

The Smart Jump In Dance Off 3
Posted by Kumagcow on Saturday, October 31, 2015

This was the introduction of the schools, it was a grand number and I didn't get to take videos of the Grade School and High School anymore because of storage in my phone. But you can tell how excited we were seeing these schools work together in one number. 

Grabe tong GFORCE! #SmartJumpInDanceOff3
Posted by Kumagcow on Saturday, October 31, 2015

I like the rest of the people in Smart Araneta Coliseum just totally lost it when GFORCE did their thing on the dance floor. They're definitely world class! How I wish I saw their gig with Yanis Marshall when he was here.

SMART Jump In Dance Off 3 Grade School Finals
Posted by Kumagcow on Saturday, October 31, 2015

During the Grade School Finals, Pasil Elementary School took the championship with their spectacular Ninja inspired hiphop, crumping and acrobatics concept. Skill wise, you could see the difference of their performance compared with the other schools. I even forgot they were just in Elementary because from where we were sitting, they looked like veterans.

SMART Jump In Dance Off 3 High School Finals
Posted by Kumagcow on Saturday, October 31, 2015

The Highschool Finals was equally exciting. This time, CSA Makati took home the Championship in this category. They invested heavily in precise moves, cohesiveness and doing it like they've done it a hundred times on stage. I was rooting for La Salle Greenhills though which got First Runner Up.

SMART Jump In Dance Off 3 College Finals
Posted by Kumagcow on Saturday, October 31, 2015

The college finals was equally competitive. I think UPLB expected to win but the last performer PUP did a spectacular job to take the crown. They all did good, but dance is a judged sport so aside from the text votes which comprise 10% of the votes, it's up to the judges to see who's going to win.

Meanwhile for those waiting for James Reid, they went ballistic when he came out of the backstage. Here's his performance of What Do You Mean and his dance of Sweet Love by Chris Brown. I think he did his best here because his audience were mostly dancers. He was super cool, and super hot at the same time! Ladies were screaming, I couldn't even get the audio right because of that.

The Philippine Launch of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 + Gear

Honestly, I haven't been to a Samsung phone event so I wasn't really expecting anything new for an android phone. Being an admitted Apple fantard, I always had that hunch that it wasn't going to be good just because the plat for doesn't work for me or shall I say, it doesn't really impress me that much. I was in shock when Samsung had released new concepts on display technology and have seen quite remarkable advancements on their line since the first release of the Note. This even marks the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 + Samsung Gear. These pair of gadgets would astound you in so many levels since it impressed me too when we got to see it a few days ago in SM Aura Premier. Let's take a look!

One of ABSCBN's finest Atom Araullo hosted the show. An admitted techie, he says this day would be full of surprises as Samsung launches the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Gear. 

Samsung's Executives and product managers Coco Domingo and Adriene Rivera went up on front and told us some key improvements on this handset and really rad new features.

There was this one time when they asked 5 people to come up on stage and use the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3. They paired them up and synced the units. They placed them together in a line as indicated by the number appearing on the screen. Then after that... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 poof!

It's your very own wide screen MOVIE on display! Everyone was shocked that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 could actually do such a thing!

Then they asked Shaira Luna, the country's smartest girl to call on the phone so he could answer it on the Galaxy Gear. The phone rang but didn't get the display he wanted on the watch like thing. They tried the second time on her instead.

You don't have to go to your phone when you want to check a text message. A single swipe on this baby can get your calls answered and your messages read in a few seconds. Isn't that amazing? The video on this SUPER AMOLED display is so crisp and clear too! They also showed how the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 uses just three shapes for easy navigation. The square, the circle and the dot. That part was ingenious!

Then after a few minutes, models came out with the phones in their hand. How can I miss that part?

Pretty good looking hardware if you ask me wouldn't be complete without Samsung's own set of features powered by Android OS. This comes with limitless ways of customizing your phone's menu too. Pegged at 36,900, it won't come cheap of course but you can take advantage of their promo when it comes to stores soon. The Galaxy Gear by the way comes with a camera for you geeks out there who want to spy on someone just by looking at your wrist. It retails for 13,990 in a variety of colors.

Fore more protection, these Flip Covers are affordable at around Php 1,699.00. Try to visit their stores nationwide and see if they still have their devices up for sale.

Make sure you visit the Samsung Experience Shops at SM Aura, SM Mall of Asia, SM City Cebu, SM Consolacion, SM Davao,and SM Lanang so you can get your hands in one of these. Some celebrities who already have one were present during the launch, you might fancy one or more of them I'm sure! =)

That's about it!
