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!?

The Joys of Learning English

I have been teaching freelance since I was in high school and I must admit it was probably caused by my unnatural short patience of hearing wrong grammar from other people. My command of the English language has been noticed by both peers and my students. I may not be an expert with papers but I do a pretty decent job teaching those who can't understand that much in this side of the globe. I sometimes suggest they do English courses and that would be their better alternative. Nobody would probably question the quality if it comes from the place where it came from right?!

I would definitely try that out myself too since I still think I have lots of room for improvement. Certifications would probably make me better at it as well. If I had the chance to go back there I would never hesitate. I just had some minor issues with work and my new appointments so I never got the chance to study further in London. I am a little afraid of this and the fact that I am going to start over with my career after getting there. Teaching other non EU citizens would probably be one of the things I could do as a career but I fear for the time I spent building one in Asia and the fact that I am starting from square 1 in London would be really arduous! I'll try and think about that soon! I have all the time in the world anyway!

The Plan: IRELAND

I want to spend my money on something big. I was invited to go to Ireland by my brother and it looks like I am going to push for it soon. It might take me a month to stay there and I need a very big excuse in the office. I need to file for leave when I do that. I know this would be a great thing to do and tour the whole place. I'm surely going to love it since I am planning to shoot huge landscapes. I plan to also purchase a couple of lenses so I can take that perfect shot.

How can I resist green things everywhere and rock formations, cliffs and beach fronts that look like the grand canyon?! I want to also take a closer look at people. I haven't seen that much Europeans in a lifetime so if I could I would make textured photos of old people. I like old faces. I like old bodies and if I am permitted to shoot nude I would gladly go for it. There was also a place my brother took some shots of statues that represented FAMINE. I also want to go to nearby countries if my visa permits it. I think that would be really nice to see. My brother is there and currently enjoying his citizenship. Maybe some things are going to be fixed here and there but I would like to get this plan going. If I do not get to go to the US, I will have to pursue going to Ireland later this year. Now comes the arduous task of working my butt off so I can buy tickets for it.
