2nd Cloud Philippines Fan Event , Hurray!

We had another successful fan event for Rain here in the Philippines last Saturday. Though some of the previous attendees weren't able to join us because of prior commitment at work and with their families we have an influx of members coming from the as far north as Bulacan and South from Cavite and Laguna. One member even came over from Davao just to join our activity.

We had an exhibit of Rain memorabilia that includes his original CD's, DVD of his drama, his Road for Rain photobook, various magazines that feature him on the cover as well as original cloud merchandise being sold in his concerts. Members were free to touch and browse through the magazines.

The program proper was started at late in the afternoon with games that we see in korean shows. I'm sure the winners loved the showcase posters they got as prizes. Then the dance contest started with Rizza, Hiroko and Charity dancing to the song With You. We were all awestruck with Hiroko's appearance when she made her entrance. She really made an effort to dress like Bi and do the moves done by Rain at the showcase last October when he first performed the song. I hope the video can be edited soon so that I can show you the clip. Then it was the turn of Rain's Angels headed by Precious, Liphaee and Rainzelle who rocked the house with Touch Ya. I heard they only met 3 times to practice but they were so into the groove of the song. It was a tough call for the judges to decide.

But the dancing is still not over, Christine gave a copy of Rain's "I'm Coming" and "With You" MV to a group of dancers that she knew and asked them to practice the moves. She invited them over to perform for us. Their dance number bought the house down, we were literally singing our hearts out as they danced the exact steps that we are so familiar with while some of us can't help but join them in dancing though we kept ourselves at the sides.

Soon two hours have passed and it was time to end the program. Rain's Angel won the dance contest. Grace went home with the grand raffle prize that night, an original Rain tumbler that was sold during the Seoul concert. But more prizes were also won by members so they all went home with a smile on their faces.

A big thank you to everyone who came and joined in the fun. Same goes to our friends who donated their Rain stuff, time and even funds to make it enjoyable for everyone. I'll post photos next time.
