OYHZ (Hui Zi): Cebu Pacific "Search for the Juan Blogger" Contest

Are you a fellow blogger who likes to dance? :D

Loves to perform?

Dreamt of being a star?

And more importantly, do you like to TRAVEL?

Well, you can see that I certainly do! Albeit not necessarily good in them :p

But good news if you happened to have the same interests as me! :D You can now shake, twist & sway your way to Philippines for FREE!

Cebu Pacific (PSE:CEB), the Philippines’ largest national flag carrier, launches the contest:

Search for the Juan Blogger

An online contest for bloggers in Singapore and Malaysia.

Are you the Juan?

“Juan,” in the Filipino language, refers to the everyman, a key market for CEB given its trademark low fares.

This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a blogger and his or her companion to explore the Philippines, and to share these adventures to the world through their blogs.

The “CEB Juan Blogger” will have the opportunity to travel to key cities that CEB flies direct to from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur: the bustling Manila metropolis for its shopping indulgences, picture-perfect sunsets in Manila Bay, and exciting nightlife, and Cebu for its enchanting Spanish history, pristine beaches and delectable cuisine.

"Cebu Pacific has always been known for our upbeat flying experience, and young and fun culture. In our search for a blogger ambassador, we want to find someone who embodies that same fun-loving spirit we have. This is why we are very excited to watch the dance entries and see the creativity of bloggers from Singapore and Malaysia,” said Candice Iyog, Cebu Pacific Vice President for Marketing and Distribution.

For the less fun-loving (just kiddin!!) who are reading this, below are some technical/operational information about Cebu Pacific Air :)

For this contest, I’ve done up a little “demo” video for submission too! This might not be good enough for the contest, but it’s just a guide to how easy it can be! :D

Had Y to join me initially for a pair dance :D But we couldn’t find a suitable timing to do it together cos it was the CNY period and we were both busy with visitings and such :/ So had to re-do the original choreography and it ended up abit awkward cos I feel damn paiseh to do it alone :( lol.

Besides choreography, I thought about the costume too.

Other than our pretty SIA uniform, the next image that comes to my mind for this contest’s getup goes something like that:

Yes, the scarf! And the hair bun!

I had thought of digging my old military band uniform (mine's red, totally similar to the red ones above and comes with a matching beret!), but erm, don't wanna make myself sad in case I realise that I can't fit into it anymore :`(

So, I picked a red dress out of my various past CNY clothings LOL...borrowed a scarf, took Lynn's little hat accessory, and a pair of shades (so that I can save the time to do makeup haha) and there you go! My "costume" as follows:

It turned out to be quite retro, which hey, can be a specialty too :D

I chose the safety belt instructions portion of the dance music and immediately thought of the belt I bought for daddy some time back. LOL. Don't mean to imply that I got bad taste in belts.. Buying one that looks like a safety belt :/ But uh..my dad just likes his belts that way!

Poor innocent belt that got kidnapped from my ransack of the wardrobe.

Does look alike what??? :O

The first portion of the dance ~~coincides~~ was choreographed accordingly to the voice of the mp3.

Something about listening to the captain and refer to the cabin crew.

*does gesture for passengers to listen up*

and then waving my hands in the air to get their attention (just in case they can't tell apart the cabin crews from any other possible party animals on the plane :X)

Rest of it with the belt were rather impromptu! hahaha.

I presume that there might be space constraints as the aisle might be quite narrow.

So, the choreography is catered specially to the limited space - mainly movements of the arms and simple swaying/shakes/turning on the spot.

And, here's the dance!

I won't say, "enjoy!" lol.

More like..

Don't vomit! AHAHA.

It's all in the name of fun! :)
