Once a Fan a Time

Almost 20 years ago

I still remember, one morning when I am reading the Showbiz page of Inquirer (newspaper in Philippines), I saw an advertisement for Sing ala Ariel Rivera. I informed my friend, Arman to go for an audition in BMG Records office located in Cubao. I gave the details and I asked him to practice Ariel’s song as I believed his voice is almost same pitch of the singer.

I and one of our friend accompanied him for the audition, luckily he was chosen for the contest. A week after, the contest proper location was in SM Bacoor Cavite, so I and two of our friends planned to give him a moral support and be one of the audience. Although he didn’t bagged the award, the most important for me was to see my idol in person who is very handsome and a good singer.

To reminisce this moment, below is his Youtube channel covering medley songs of Ariel Rivera.
