Charice Dream Come True Concert - Siam Discovery, Bangkok, Thailand

Charice Pempengco's Dream Come True Concert today, July 23, 2010 at Siam Discovery, Bangkok, Thailand had drawn a very huge and spectacular crowds.

I really appreciate how Charice marketing team's effort to promote the concert. I couldn't believe how they were able to gather such a very huge crowd in this non-English speaking country.

However, it could not be denied that Charice really has something people would like to witness face-to-face. I was very surprised how Thais reacted to her amazing singing performances. Seeing it from any Filipino reactions is just natural for one thing, we already knew her very well because of her background and how she was discovered.

However, seeing Thais crying while she was performing was really very touching . It's unbelievable in this Buddhist country. I couldn't read their minds and answer the question why? In my opinion, it's no longer something physical, but it's rather something inside which doesn't separate anyone from anybody else wherever she is or he is from. It's definitely something spiritual.

Surely, this concert will have a very huge and positive impact not only to the Filipinos here in Thailand but also to the Thais and all the young people around the world, especially to those who are aspiring to excel into this kind of talent.

After performing few songs, I could see how happy and joyful the crowds were. When I asked one guy in my front how popular Charice is in Thailand, he answered " Very... very... very... popular!" Hearing this, once again, I became so proud being a Filipino.

With this initial response of the Thais for Charice, I am very sure that her coming concert here in Bangkok, Thailand this October, 2010 would really draws much bigger crowds than this. Hopefully, by that time, there would be no other big events like what happened just few months back.
My whole family here in Thailand is a loyal fans of Charice. We always watched her performances in other countries, like in the USA via Youtube videos.

I am not familiar with one of the songs she had sang today, but amazing, Thais were so familiar with it. It just proved what the other guy had just told me how popular Charice is in this country.

One song I have noticed that Thais like very much is the one called "Pyramid." They joined Charice in singing the song and they even enjoyed waving there hands while doing it. Though I could not get all the lyrics, I liked the song, too.
It reminds me of my trip to Egypt last year. In honor to that song, I have included two of my many photos below showing how beautiful the pyramids really are.

It's the second Wonders of the World I had visited so far.

If it's one of Charice's composition, then I would assume that she had visited Egypt as well.

It's really very inspiring, especially if you had a good background about the World History, telling us about the pyramid. Anyway, no matter what, whatever inspired the composer about the Pyramid song, it's really great and inspiring.
Surely, it tells us something, encouraging and inspiring. I have to find myself the lyrics and see what's in it. I am just curious of how the Thais and Filipinos are responding to it naturally.

I said naturally, because even myself who hadn't heard it yet, I have a natural response to it and had good feeling with it. It makes everyone dance or more their bodies as Charice sang it beautifully. The sad thing is, people found the concert very short. Hope next time, during her next concert here in Bangkok, Thailand about two months from now, would be at least a little longer.
We are looking forward to it, and we'll pray that Charice would be healthy that time, and Thailand would be peaceful.

Let's pray to God for her, her family, her team and all the organizers to realize this event once again in this amazingly beautiful Kingdom of Thailand.

Egyptian Sphinx

These are just some of the many pictures I had taken during my trip to one of the Wonders of the World located in one of the Biblical and historical parts of the world called Egypt.

It's so amazing seeing and walking on the land which before was just on the deepest parts of my imaginations while listening attentively to our World History teacher telling us the role of Egypt during the ancient times.
When I had finally decided to read my Bible as an indication of my commitment to my covenant to God as witnessed by the Couples For Christ (CFC), God had blessed me by giving me an opportunity to walk on the land His chosen people had walked, during the time of Moses, especially during their exodus out of Egypt crossing safely on the dryland of the Red Sea when it was divided through God's intervention and destroying those huge number of Egyptians running after them to destroy them all.
Since God was so faithful to the covenant He had establisehd with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, so He saved Israelites during this very difficult and dangerous moment of their lives.

In a similar way, on these third and fourth pictures, I was also in a great danger through the old guy who was at first, so kind to me and offering to take me some pictures while holding his camel. At first, I was hesitating, but later on, out of my pitty, I had agreed and then he asked me to set on his camel to have some picture with it. Again, initially I strongly said "no thanks" for I had sensed something, and he insisted and this time I was so scared so I had given up to his request.
When I got down from his camel he asked me for money. I had some Egyptian money on my pocket and I handed it to him and he declined it because he wanted an American money.

I became so angry and at the same time was so scared because many of his friends came forward and insisted that I should give his request, but I said again, "no I have only this. If you take it, it's fine, if not then it's up to you for I have to leave now." Finally, the old guy accepted it and was very frustrated.

In my mind while dealing with the situation, I was praying so hard that God would save me, and at last, thanks to my God, He really did.

I could imagine how Moses and the Israelites had felt during that time when the Egyptians were almost catching them. The same God Who saved them had saved me too.

I praise and thank you Lord, my God.
