From July 9 - 18, 2009, the province of South Cotabato will celebrate its 10th T'nalak Festival and 43rd Foundation Anniversary. The celebration started last July 9 but we had an opening salvo yesterday with a parade, skydiving and drum, bugle and lyre competition in the morning, with Sen. Chiz Escudero as the guest of honor (whom I've been wanting to see but because I was at the office the whole day, I didn't see him), and Billy Crawford and Sitti concert in the evening. I watched the concert with my friends and nephew. Since I thought our camcorder was fully charged, I bought it with me in the concert. When Sitti went up the stage, singing 'Tattooed on My Mind', I took a video of her. The camcorder was working fine until it was Billy's turn to entertain the crowd. I was enjoying taking video of his back-up dancers while waiting for him to join them. A minute later, he was there, when suddenly a message popped up on the monitor of the cam - 'PROCESSING' - a second or two, another message popped up- 'LOW BATTERY'... and then it automatically turned off. I was shocked in disbelief. I won't be able to record a video of Billy! I don't know who to blame. Should I blame my sister for not telling me that the cam isn't fully charged or blame myself for not checking the cam before we went to the concert?There's nothing I could do anymore but to just enjoy the night. Good thing, Sitti and Billy were entertaining, I forgot about the cam.Upon arriving home, I checked on the cam to see if the video of Sitti recorded earlier was okay. It was playing. Good. When I connected it to the laptop there was no video, just audio. Uh oh. I don't know what is wrong with the cam. Grr. I hate situations like this and I was starting to lose my patience. Then I decided to leave the stupid cam and went to bed, read Chapter 12 and 13 of Twilight, waited for my mother to come home then slept. I guess I was really feeling unlucky yesterday.Later at 3pm, there will be a Cheerdance and Hip-hop Competition. I am not sure yet if I will watch or just go home and watch UAAP on Studio 23. Speaking of UAAP, I forgot that today's the opening pf Season 72 and I'm here at the office, NO TV and it means I already missed the primer. Now I would have to say, today is still an unlucky day. Talk about being doomed. Labels: Billy Crawford, Sitti, South Cotabato, T'nalak Festival
