Triumphant... That, I think, is the proper redeeming word for this TNT (Tawag ng Tanghalan- a singing competition on TV which is now on its second season.) Resbaker (a person who was defeated before in a certain competition but comes back again to compete and to prove that he is the right holder of the title.)
Lalaine Arana...
You see, this lady made it to the semifinals and she's on her way to realize her dream, but unfortunately, she forgot the lyrics of her song -(Waray Waray- a Philippine folk song, a song that was chosen for her by the judges) while she was performing on the stage. Automatically, she was out for the quarter finalist.
Today she came back as a contender, and when I saw her on TV a while ago, I didn't realize I was praying for her all the while and I was thinking, God let her sing that song again and redeem her. Let everybody see that she can come back with the same song that made her lose and be triumphant with it.
And yes, that was her piece today and she just won.
When they asked her why did she chose that song, she said: "yun kanta po na yan, dyan po ako nadapa, kaya dyan na kanta din po ako babangon." (because that song is where I fell and in that song, there, I will get up again.)
More than just a dreamer, she is very inspiring in her performance today.
She is a lesson that could make you a fighter...
You lose... Then come back stronger and more determined than ever.
Stand up at the same place you've fallen.
