Filipino Finalist at HP SPACE

Last night as I browsed some good program to watch.. I was drifted to Channel V Philippines, there's a reality show called HP SPACE which is composed of Asian contestants that will compete in a cyberspace-- they're provided with high-tech gadgets and facility to work with in order to thrive the cyber-related challenges.

Raffy Francisco and Adrienne Vergara

There are two Filipinos in the competition namely: Adrienne Vergara and Raffy Francisco that captivated my attention. As the narration progressed I found out that unfortunately Adrienne didn't make it to the finals but on the other hand Raffy has a shot on the grand prize worth $50,000 USD and a golden opportunity to work for Anime International Company who made the Anime hit "Bubblegum Crisis".

Prom Queen by Bunkface - Raffy Francisco's final test

Luckily for me to at least watch the final episode of the cool reality show, it's like watching a high-end version of Survivor. Anyway, the last challenge is about making a music video of the assigned band on a theme of innovation, technology, and creativity-- HP inspired.

Raffy Francisco is in the fray with two other finalists from China and Singapore, so it's a three way dance making it harder to hit the jackpot. However Raffy is a professional video director which gave him the upper hand while the other two are not but they'll be all working with the former contestants which got eliminated, but they're considered as a helping hand in a great scale because some of them are video directors as well so it will not be easy at all for the favored Filipino. It's still everybody's ball game.
 
Whoever will win the competition, his/her video will be used by the band, thus will be played exclusively at Channel V. The winner will be unveiled next week at the HP SPACE reunion special at 7pm, 29th of December, same channel.

I wish you all the luck Mr.Raffy Francisco. Pinoy rocks.

Mind in a World of Minds

Regardless who you are, there are things in life we can't control. So many factors that can come across in the street where we stand, can bump in an instance, in any given time. A choice of people, result for those who are afflicted, and yet destiny as some may excuse themselves.

Terms will just be terms but the bottom line is we're just like a raft in an ocean-- no matter how hard we paddle, as long as the waves surge in our way, choice will be discounted..and it will just drift us to an unfamiliar territory which we didn't plan at all.

Even though sometimes life puts us in back seat. Yes fate might put us entirely where it mind but we can still have a choice within us. A will to adapt and live to a circumstance where we least expect, an uncomfortable zone, and a tragedy that wound feelings. We can't do anything about the things we can't decide on but we can be STRONG in despite of-- A mighty weapon in an arsenal called heart.
