ReQuest Dance Crew in Manila

America’s Best Dance Crew Season 6 finalist and Two-time World Hip-hop Champions just arrived in Manila- Philippines. 

 

“I found my new inspiration” – When it comes to dancing I always find my inspiration to perform better and motivate myself to be the best. ReQuest Dance Crew just entered the list of my inspiration.

These girls from New Zealand rocked the stage of Irwin theater at Ateneo last Nov 16. Before that, two dance crews in Philippines performed as front act- Legit Status and The Crew. At first, I was not really a fan of hip hop thing. I never joined street dance competition or alike. I rarely appreciate hip-hop dancers before. On the contrary, today I can’t explain how much I adore dancers who can break dance, vogue, crumping, etc. Different dance crews were just introduced and familiarized to me by my new group- D’ Shots (3^rd Grand finalist of Showtime). Big thanks to them for influencing me to another aspect of dancing.

As far as I know, RQ crew had three performances in Manila. (Correct me if I’m wrong) First stop was at Ateneo de Manila University, where I attended with friends. The best P200 concert I have ever watched in my 20 years of existence.  The audience was full of zest to scream and show their fanaticism to the NZ-based dancers. The former courtside reporter and softball varsity player of UP Fighting Maroons - Riki Flores hosted the dance concert. The second performance I watched them was their guesting on ASAP. After that, they went to Glorietta for another show.

I’m still hoping to see and watch them up-close. Even to meet them in personal when I go to New Zealand. They dance as if there’s no tomorrow. Their craft for dancing is something indestructible.  No one can obliterate their knacks for it. They are unique and incredible girl group. Even though, they didn’t win the crown as 6^th Season Champ for ABDC but for everyone they always got the crown everywhere they go. It’s their trademark their glorious and astonishing crowning moves.

Vice Ganda’s Unkabogable – Praybeyt Benjamin

It was holiday so my cousin decided to go out with her mom- my aunt. They invited me to watch with them the talk-of the-town movie Praybeyt Benjamin. Others said that we would have a hard time to score tickets and seats since a lot of people are also dying to watch it. But then, when we arrived at SM Marilao, luckily we got 3 tickets for us. The only problem we had was our seats. It didn’t have a good view. In our situation, we were like watching a theater play.

Mouthwatering Shakey's foodies. We grab a bite right after watching Praybeyt Benjamin.

 

Forget about it. That’s fine. The movie was worth watching. Two words to describe: Laugh trip. As I was watching the entire film, I almost forgot the people around me that I really laughed hard. If you have copious worries and problems facing at this very moment, well when you’ve watched this incredible movie you might forget everything and even who you are.

Vice Ganda is a natural comedian. I’m proud of him because he never forgets where he came from. Take note, he’s a true-blue Tamaraw. Going back to the movie, when I had the second-time to watch it I’m still excited. I just pretended that I didn’t know the story but at the back of my mind I already memorized how they threw lines. 

Got my passes from Star Cinema.

I really like the movie because it’s a new flavor that will give excitement and entertainment to the audience. It oozes with a cute and not so boring story. They leave a valuable lesson to a relationship in family and friends- a never-say-die attitude, love and respect.
