Pasinaya 2012 was one of the events, where the artist performs and the art enthusiast show up to support the love for art, held in Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). It was an open house event. People were allowed to bring their cameras with them during the shows unlike the ordinary days in CCP you cannot use any device to photograph or video, unless you are the official photographer of CCP. So of course! Photographers usually abuse this event to take photos of the festival. 

The Claravall School of Dance was invited as always on the event. Here we go again, time to support my sister. They were assigned in the morning approximately 11am, their show will start. As always, we experienced chaos while falling line. We arrived early around 9am because of the call time of my sister. After a while, I and my mom were too early for the line, so we decided to eat first at CCP Canteen until the next line was available for The Claravall School of Dance show. Unfortunately, we arrived like 30 minutes before the show and the line was so long. The usherette told us that we were not allowed because the maximum of the theater was only 100 people and the line already reaches the capacity. My mom was angry; she told the usherette that the parents and guardian of the participant should be priority in the line. Well, she has a point and the line was really at chaos, many parents were complaining. With our ninja moves, we went to the front line because of the classmate of my sister’s dad was there and my mom knows him. Thank you for the kind heart plus the ninja moves. 

Below are photos from Pasinaya 2012: 

Every year my sister usually have a ballet show during summer and holidays. Of course! We're always there to watch her and support her ballet career. This time she danced with the Philippine Ballet Theater in Nutcracker at CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines). It was so nice. I don't have photos inside the theater because it was prohibited but in the theater hall it was alright to take some photos with the cast and with the decors. hohoho Did I mention Santa Claus is also there? I can feel the spirit of the holidays.

After the show, we went to Kimono Ken at Bluewave, Macapagal Avenue. I ate a lot of Japanese food. I know, even if it's dinner time I ate like a queen not a pauper. hahaha Cani Salad, California Maki, Mango Shake, Beef something (forgot the name), Tempura and Miso soup were one of our usual orders on a Japanese Restos. I love eating. =)

Pasinaya 2011 is a CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines) open house festival, where it was open for public last February 6,2011. Many talented Filipinos showcase their brilliant performance here. One of them is my sister. Damn! I'm proud of it. haha Every year or every other year the ballet school of my sister were always invited to dance ballet. Yes! she's into classical music and I am not. 

 

 

It started around 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It is just a short performance from them. Compare to the other shows I have been. gad.. It was long. hahaha Thank God! We were not late. I thought we won't be able to watched their performance because of slight misunderstanding and difficulties. Then again, thanks to one of the mommies, who talked with the people handling the venue. They let us entered without any tickets. Cool right!?! =)

 After the show, we went to the mall of asia to eat dinner and to bought some stuff. Then, we went home. Well, on June my sister will have another recital on CCP. I think they haven't decided yet if its "hanzel or gretel" or "sugar plum princess". I'll upate you soon. =)
