today was the start of the three-day practice we were scheduled to have for our stint in the Philippine Independence Day celebration, to be held on the 8th of this month. the celebration will, of course, be hosted by the Philippine Embassy and venue shall be on UAE/Abu Dhabi's National Theatre. i dunno where the hell is it but according to a fellow choirmate, it's on the opposite side of the Airport Road, around the area where the church is. in addition, it is said to be also near the Al Jazeera Sports Complex, which i also have no idea is. =) ano pa ba ang hindi ko alam ang location dito? hihi.

we are to meet at the church at 7 in the evening. before we separated ways during our last meeting, we were reminded to come on time. and so, i came just in time and found two other choirmates sitting at the bench outside the hall. i sat with them as we waited for the others. one by one, the bench gets filled up. chika dito, chika dun. hehe. however, the list of those that can manage to come without causing conflicts with their work schedule got completed around 7:45 pm already. hay. wasted time.

heniweys, sister fely was able to come up with a choreo for interpretating the song Ang Aming Dasal. it is the tagalog version of The Prayer. it goes like this:

Ang Aking Dasal

I Girls only
Nawa'y maging gabay, saan man magtungo
Tuwing nalulumbay, ilawan ang puso
Itong aming dasal, kapag naliligaw
Kami'y akayin Mo sa landas na wasto
Kung sa'n patungo sa Iyo.


II Boys and Girls
Aming panalangin --------- Nawa'y pag-ibig Mo
O Diyos kami'y dinggin ----------- Ilaw sa 'ming puso
Sa bawat sandali ------------ Sa araw at gabi
Maging tanglaw namin.
Ito'ng aming dasal -------- Ito'ng aming dasal
Kapag naliligaw ---------- Kapag naliligaw

Boys and Girls
Habang nasa mundo, kami'y akayin Mo
Kung sa'n patungo sa Iyo….

Duet
Panalangin namin, kami ay pagpalain na kahit sa dilim nawa'y makita
Liwanag ng pag-ibig Mong dakila at di na mawalay sa Iyong gabay.
O Diyos aming hiling --------- Nawa'y tanglawan
Payapang daigdig ---------- At laging bantayan
Ang buhay na laging ---------- Sa Iyo umaasa
Puspos ng 'Yong pag-ibig --------- Ikaw ay manahan


(All)
Boys and Girls

Aming panalangin -------- Aming panalangin
Tulad ng 'sang paslit --------- Tulad ng 'sang paslit

Boys and Girls
Kami'y akayin Mo, sa landas na wasto
Kung sa'n patungo sa Iyo..
Kami'y akayin Mo, sa landas na wasto
Kung sa'n patungo sa Iyo..

this song was taken from the CD Tanging Yaman and sung by Jamie Rivera and Robert Sena. i just thought of it today that this song is a good alternative for its english version if one wishes to use it for a wedding song. *kling, kling* idea coming in! hihi. of course, nothing still beats Panunumpa as a bridal march song. oh well, here i am again with my wedding illusions. pardon the dreamy mode. hihi.

oh yeah, mabalik tayo sa practice details, hehe. we had our practice until 10 in the evening. still, the hand movements/actions were not finallized yet so it follows that these were not perfectly executed as well, lalo na ako!! body coordination is just not my thing. we had dinner courtesy of the embassy folks again. i left the church with my action partner and the rest of the gang just right after dinner.
