ONE UP FAN MEET IN SKY RANCH TAGAYTAY

-

One Up is one of our two boybands at GMA Artist Center and it’s amazing how even if they just started out, they’re doing pretty well. They are BoardWalk endorsers, they have been doing a regional tour, they have been appearing on various GMA shows, plus their fanbase continues to grow!


We’re so thankful to their fans we decided to treat them to a fun day with the boys at Sky Ranch in Tagaytay last November 24, 2016.


Unfortunately four members of the group couldn’t join: Nikki Co, Prince Clemente, Yasser Marta, and Dave Bornea. However, majority of the boys were still there so the fans were still happy.


The boys – Brent Valdez, Jay Arcilla, Arjan Jimenez, Joemarie Nielsen, Ralf King, and Kevin Sagra – spent the whole afternoon trying out the amusement park’s different rides with around 15 fans.


I am afraid of heights and speed so the only ride I tried was the Ferris Wheel together with Ralf and two of his fans. I kind of knew I wouldn’t get scared coz it moved so slow. In fact, it was so slow and steady I didn’t feel that we were already on top. Before I knew it we needed to go down already.


The rest of the group enjoyed the more adventurous rides like the rollercoaster and this scary ship ride called the Viking. It basically swung higher and higher and while it looked scary, I’m very sure it’s scarier if you’re riding it already. I am impressed with all those students (as in grade school ha) who rode it, plus the One Up members who rode it again and again and again. Galing!




Before we knew it, it was time to go home. Time really flies when you’re having fun. 







And when you’re with cute guys LOLERS.

I AUDITIONED FOR SMOKEY MOUNTAIN

I loved singing and performing for relatives and guests at home when I was young. One time, when I was about four years old, my mother asked me to sing Tomorrow for our relatives who were visiting. I instantly burst into song. However, after singing the first line with so much passion, I decided to stop and asked to be excused. I went inside my room, did a proper entrance, and then whipped out my milk bottle, which I used as a microphone. I sang “The sun will come out tomorrow” again and finished the song. No doubt about it: even when I was just a kid, I already knew I wanted to sing and perform for others. Fast forward to my high school years. One day, I read in the papers that Ryan Cayabyab was forming an all-male version of Smokey Mountain. Of course, I just had to try out. I didn’t tell my parents about it. My friends and I decided to try our luck. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, Smokey Mountain was a vocal group composed ...

TAO NA!

I’ve always found the expression “Tao na!” (used to describe a baby who’s already acting like a big kid or an adult) hilarious, but I found myself using it a couple of hours ago when Sadako kept on bugging Honeybun, my sister and I while we were enjoying our shawarma pizza dinner. To shut her up, we offered her a bite. As it turned out, she wanted more than just a bite. Good thing we didn’t put hot sauce on all the slices. Tao na!

HIGH ON HI-5

Some years ago, back when my now-1-year old daughter Sadako wasn’t even an idea yet, I came across an article about how supposedly bad TV is for babies and young kids. I now don’t remember the boob tube’s bad effects on little ones (although I really should Google that), but whatever they are, my daughter must already be suffering from them because watching TV has been a daily habit for her for half a year now. Blame me and my girlfriend, Honeybun; we always have the TV set turned on. Apart from being soothing background noise, we discovered that it can be some sort of a babysitter, too. For example, certain commercials would make our daughter stop crying or catch her attention long enough for us to squeeze in drops of yucky medicine inside her mouth. Sadako is picky, though, so we bought a stack of DVDs and VCDs to entertain her whenever her favorite commercials aren’t on air. Her favorite show in the world is Hi-5, and Australian kiddie show where five adults—two guys and th...
