Boffill's WebCrib

Over the past few months, I haven't managed to slack around to watch TV shows since I don't have enough time. I work at night and when I got home, I go to sleep immediately. Everything was changed when my girlfriend's Tito bought a brand new TV that was able to get signal to all the local stations available. Compared to the old TV that we have, this one is real tight.

Yesterday, while I'm at home with my girlfriend lying on her bed, we have nothing else to do but to watch TV. We were both watching Showtime from ABS-CBN Channel 2 and was very focused on their contestants throwing around their group mates to impress the judges and of course, to win the grand prize. One group struck me and my girlfriend. They call themselves the Cyber Crew who's from Koronadal City, South Cotabato. That city is located down south of the Philippines. Going there is a long trip if you're not gonna take a plane. But those guys sailed all the way from Koronadal to Manila and I suppose it took them 3 days until they arrived here. I admire their determination to join the contest even though its not yet sure that they'll win the prize. After a long trip, they headed to the PBB House or Bahay Ni Kuya in Quezon City to register their group to the contest. Showtime by the way is a talent show program of ABS-CBN but most of the contestants that I've seen there are Dance Groups. Unfortunately, they didn't reach the deadline for the next contest. So, they will have to wait for a couple more days to register again. Most of them doesn't have relatives or friends here in Manila and that's too hard for them to stay longer here since they don't have enough money to spend more days here in Manila. Good thing is, one of their group mates know somebody from Montalban Rizal. Them guys decided to go there without hesitation since that's their only resort. While staying at Montalban, somebody told them that there's gonna be a Dance Contest at Caloocan City. They went there and joined the contest but unfortunately, they didn't make it to the top. Another sad story was that one of their colleague broke both of his legs when he was doing his acrobatic moves. It was all because of a confetti at the stage. Its sad that they didn't win the contest and one of their friend got hurt seriously.

It wasn't an end for the group. They were so determined to join the Showtime contest so they headed back to ABS-CBN and this time they got a slot and was scheduled to show their moves on the show. When the big day came in, I noticed that they're very good. It was like a HipHop dance group from the streets of L.A. Personally, I liked their group because they dance HipHop in a HipHop way. Compared to the other groups who joined the contest, they have this word "HipHop" in their group name but seems to be dancing ballet on the stage and yeah, they look ridiculous. I was so impressed with Cyber Crew's performance on stage. After performing, that's when I heard their story and that made my girlfriend touched specially when she saw one of their group mate on a wheelchair who's waiting for them beside the stage. The guy was so lucky since his hospitalization is being sponsored by Vice Ganda and Vhong Navarro, that's P25,000 each leg. Good news is, they won the contest and will be back on Saturday for the Weekly Finals. Its amazing how this guys overcome their hardships inspite of the trials and difficulties they encountered spending days here in Manila thinking that it was their first time.

It was really an inspiration to all of us specially if we feel down and upset to any circumstances that we may have encountered. This was actually a lesson to all of us that we should erase the word "SURRENDER" to our vocabulary. To the Cyber Crew, if you happen to read this post, just wanna let you know that I'm a fan of your group.
