The FilHarmonic of The Sing Off

I'm a sucker for singing shows, movies - name it.  Anything that involves singing - I like!  I used to love American Idol (but when they lost Simon Cowell, well - it wasn't the same for me), I also used to like Glee - but kinda lost the urge to watch it.  I'm a huge huge fan of the High School Musical series and oh, my FAVORITE - The Sound of Music!

So on my feed the other day, I saw that my TV guru Mindy was talking about this show called The Sing Off.  How she was glad that it was back on after being cancelled a few years ago.  But what caught my attention was the mention that there was a Pinoy group in the competition.  We all know that Pinoys are one of the BEST singers in the world and so I was curious.  Thank goodness for Dropbox - because it automatically downloaded on my mac and so last night - I finally knew what the fuss was all about.

I watched the show without any background on it - I just wanted to see what it was all about.  The show started with all the groups singing one after another - and I was floored.  They all sounded soooo very good!  What I didn't know was that - The Sing Off is an a capella singing competition.  I was amazed because it sounded as if there were instruments or musical accompaniment while everyone was singing.  This floored me honestly, and gosh - I have to say, I was impressed.

I have a favorite - obviously, its the FilHarmonic!  Why?  Because they're just sooo very good!  I guess I'm a sucker for boy bands, but look at how they move!  Hahaha!!  They remind me so much of the music that I listened to while growing up - the sound and the dance moves?  Ah!  Shows my age, hahaha!!  But seriously - listen to them and see their showmanship - they're brilliant!

I took a clip on YouTube on their performance.  I am posting this particular clip because this is what impressed me the most.


So, to the FilHarmonic - you have a new fan in ME!  I am supporting you guys all the way!!  Mabuhay kayong lahat!! :)  You make us all proud!! :)  And I so love the fact that you are so proud of your heritage!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
