We already did a write up and story about this young and rising artist. You can check out that story here "Geca Morales" or Maria Angelica T. Morales.   The story is about the debut of her single and of course about her achievement last year at the World Championships of Performing Arts where she just won Gold Medal for the Female Vocal Rap Category and Silver Medal for the Rock Category. Now isn't that some talent to watch out for!

Just this weekend I was able to have an online interview with her. I wanted to have our conversation recorded of which I was able to but unfortunately the audio didn't work out well. So I might be able to upload the video but it doesn't have any audio in it.

So we did the chat and video at the same time. Oh before I go on with our conversation I must say first that it was lovely talking with her on video chat. She accommodated my request to interview her and what else... she really is beautiful. I must say she really pretty on cam.

Okay now we head on to that interview. I prepared just a few questions because of the limited time.

• How long have you been singing?

Well according to her she was already singing when she was still young, perhaps most of us have gone through that stage, that is according to her mom. When she was in elementary she was able to sing in one of the school activity and when she finished singing her classmates were whispering and laughing. According to her the teacher to her classmates about that incident but that particular event made her stop singing. Perhaps it was a trauma.  

She sung again when she was enrolled at Center for Pop Music and that was when she was in college already.  Then the competition at the World Championships of Performing Arts and up to now.  

•  Who taught you how to sing?

According to her no one did teach her how to sing not until she begun formal training the Center for Pop.  

• Any relatives who's into singing or perhaps celebrity?

She doesn't know of but according to her mom there was this great great grand father who was a celebrity. That's all that she know of. 

•  What and where was the first competition you've joined?

The one that she mentioned when she was in elementary. There was also one that where it was recorded and she won. And the recently was in the World Championships of Performing Arts. According to her the first and the recent one are both live while the 2nd was only a recording. 

• Who are your influences in singing?

She mentioned three (3) names that influenced her singing, one is Carmen Duo (from youtube but not really sure if  I had it correct), the second was Beyonce and the last was Nicki Minaj. 

• Since you won the World Championships of Performing Arts Gold Medal in the Female Vocal Rap Category and Silver Medal for the Female Vocal Rock Category, which of the two would you like to pursue more, rap or rock?

Her answer was that she wanted both and she thinks she can merge these two (2) genres. Though she wants to, still rap is what loves. According to her she also does composing rap songs. Not the whole song but just some few lines. She wanted more to be inclined in the rap genre because according to her there were few female rap artists. 

• What are you going to do this summer?

Well, she answered that she'll be doing mall shows this summer. She'll be doing more shows on the provincial side where she could reach more of her fans.  

So, that's how our interview goes and what I like is that she's still game with our interview even though we're having technical problems with our internet connection.

O by the way she'll be having the launch of her first music video "Oo, Ikaw" under MCA.

Here's what you'll expecting of her

She'll be Guesting at Tee Radio this coming March 29 at 10;00AM and at the same time is the official launch of her music video on youtube.

She'll be at WISH on March 31 at 7:00PM and lastly watch her mall show at Harbor Point Subic on April 2, 2017 at 2:00PM.

One of the best thing to enjoy in life is being with your loved ones in a fun outdoor activities and Cream-O made sure that to happen. CreamOholic fans gathered in Quezon City Memorial Circle to enjoy an outdoor movie marathon prepared by Cream-O.
When was the last time you and your family had an outdoor activity like this? Well, perhaps this is the first time, though for some it is not but still it is something to cherish when you're with your family or friends.

The Cream-O Flix Fest put up an interesting selection of movie that surely kept everyone on their seats, err place. Anyway the movies that were shown are more of a family thing. A movie for the kids which is the "Minions", then for the teens which is the "Pitch Perfect 1", and lastly which I personally love is the "50 First Dates".


Of course aside from the movies Cream-O made sure that there are treats for everyone that is why CreamOholics were given a chance to have their own personalized cookies in the "Cream-Ofied Creations" booth. So what was the Cream-Ofied Creations booth all about? Well it is one of booth present in event that let Creamoholics jazz-up their well-loved cookies in four easy steps: choose, dip, sprinkle, and drizzle. First, they chose their favorite Cream-O Variant (Vanilla, Choco Fudge, Deluxe, Crinkles, Chocolate Chip, Cookies 'n Cram and Choco 'n Berries and dipped it in rich chocolate (milk, dark or white), peanut butter or whipped cream. They added extra color, texture and flavor to their creations with a wide variety of toppings, and even drizzled onsome delicious chocolate, caramel or strawberry syrup.


Aside from the flicks, guests participated in other fun activities, such as the "Unlock the Popcorn Stash" and "Guess the Movie" trivia game. They also captured moments and personalized their images through the "I Love Cream-O" photo booth. Furthering the excitement were live acoustic band performances and raffle draws, where lucky winners won Fujifilm Instax mini cameras and Robinsons Gift Certificates.
Since my wife and I didn't bring along the kids, Cream-O made sure that we will be spending more time with as they gave a treat that our kids will surely love. Viola....



I'm sure more movie nights will be spent with the treats.
