A few days
before inSOMAnia I had been going over and over with myself whether I’ll
perform or not. My friend and I had been interested before. We talked to the
current members and opened up the topic. When I read the letter they gave to
us, I gave up hope. There was an audition and we have to sell tickets. The
audition ended last Feb 25 and it was already Feb 28 when I asked again about this.
I have decided
then that I would not sing anymore as a performer but rather, I will join the
karaoke contest. XD
Suddenly, when I
have finally decided which song to sing in the karaoke contest they contacted
me and asked if I will still perform. It
was 3 days before the actual thing. I am not that confident. I don’t have a song
prepared and even if I pick a song now I will have problems regarding the
lyrics. If only it is in English or Filipino. I know I would embarrass myself
in front of everyone. I know all these, but I still said yes.
Here is my reaction before the actual performance...
Anyway, enough about singing... there’s more about that later. I would rather talk about the event itself.
The members
encountered a lot of things this time that I was really proud of them for
pulling off the whole event. It was sad that there’s no merch booths and food
booth. It was a good thing that the event centre was near the food court and so
people can easily come out and eat and go in again.
I was really
impressed with the ticket system they had.
It was like
this: the whole convention centre was filled with activity booths. The booths
were seemingly easy mini games. To join the games you have to buy tokens from
the main booth. Once you win from a booth you can get points. If you
accumulated enough points then you may get the corresponding item from the main
booth. The items ranged from button pins, keychain, shirts, gloves etc.
Aside from the
activity booth, the event also had the usual cosplay competition, band performances
and art contest. I even saw the “Pinoy Superman” and his chin of absolute
perfectness during the cosplay competition. He was fabulous as Ulric. I would
never forget the last line in his speech “Hindi lahat ng kontrabida ay pangit”
which is so true...
So here are the
pictures and some videos of the event. Because of this year’s convention, I am
really looking forward for the next... congratulations children... you pulled
it off. I am so proud of you.
