 The air was disturbed with great amount of tension as Hera, Lambert, Poy and Jet, the four wait listed Scholars, silently waited for Headmaster Ryan Cayabyab to relay the results of the text votes. All the four Dreamers have high hopes that they could be a step closer towards their dreams, but sadly, only one of them could put that hope into reality.
The feeling of anticipation was quite overwhelming. Headmaster Ryan Cayabyab called the names of the wait listed Dreamers one by one, starting from the name of the Dreamer with the lowest text votes. The first to say goodbye was the Hera, gathering 10.68 percent of the total text votes. After her, the Obedient Daughter from Zamboanga, Poy, was rated second to the last with 17.46 percent. Being the last two men standing, Lambert and Jet felt the pressure pressing harder and harder on their backs. Before hearing the final decision of the audience coming out straight from the Headmaster’s mouth, Jet and Lambert were reunited with their loved ones to accompany them on the final moment of judgment that they were about to face. As for the results, Jet was the one who received the good news. He was able to garner 51.70 percent of the total text votes, while Lambert gained only 20.16 percent. Jet couldn’t help but be emotional upon hearing the decision. Behind his son that he lovingly cradled that very moment are mixed tears of joy and hope. Upon Headmaster Ryan Cayabyab’s signal, in-house teacher Monet Silvestre stepped out the Academy to welcome the new member. On their way towards the door, Jet still couldn’t stop the tears that kept on falling down his cheeks. Still, he couldn’t believe that he was actually walking down the road towards the door of the Academy.And to his surprise, his entry was warmly welcomed by the 15 Scholars inside. Now that the PDA Season 2 Scholars are finally complete, what could happen next? What are in store for them? Find out more by staying tuned on Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2.
| Jet Makes Up for a Missed Assignment | | June 16, 2008 1:31 AM |  After the warm welcome that the other scholars showered him on his first day, Jet was up for a surprise from no other than Teacher Monet. Since he had missed the water glass xylophone activity that the other scholars did the night before he entered the academy, an extra activity made especially just for him was given by the in-house Academy teacher. The task involves a list of things to be done. Teacher Monet passed on the said list to the new Scholar’s foster team, which is team One Voice, and held them in charge on the implementation of the task. They should make Jet do all the tasks listed in a span of a day.
Aside from Jet’s personalized activity, another activity was set by Teacher Monet. He gathered all the Scholars and handed over CDs to each one of them. He explained that these CDs contain songs that he is assigning each Scholar to sing. The said songs are subject for alteration in terms of arrangement, or the likes, that will suit the Scholar’s rendition. Teacher Monet likes to limit the song to a minute and a half, so one by one, he would like to speak with the Scholars, so that he could personally discuss what kind of edition they could possibly make, like chopping off some parts of the lyrics to cut the time short. The songs will be performed individually, but Teacher Monet made this task an activity that requires teamwork. Again, the Scholars are divided into the two, and upon this division, it is vital that they look out for each other because the slightest mistake anyone in a team makes greatly affects everyone in it. These are plain starters. As days pass by, the Scholars are bound for more exciting challenges. What could possibly happen to these activities that Teacher Monet had given? Will Jet be able to complete the activity assigned to him? Who will shine most on the first activity that the, finally, complete set of Scholars are about to do? Stay tuned on Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 to find out.
| Building a healthy voice with Teacher Kitchy | | June 16, 2008 2:12 PM |  For three hours a day, Teacher Kitchy would be providing the scholars with voice lessons. Early this morning, the professor held the first of many sessions with them. Though dazed and groggy from last night’s events, the scholars were quick on their feet during Teacher Kitchy’s class.
The Overall Voice Mentor emphasized correct posture and right alignment. Apart from this she stressed the need for the scholars to relax in order to make their vocal instruments function effectively. All listened intently as the mentor introduced the different vocal instruments of the body.
Cheeks and larynx massages essential for relaxation were also taught by Teacher Kitchy. The scholars also learned proper breathing to better project their voices. Each was individually trained in order for them to get the right technique. While each had their time with the mentor, some chatted with the others. Teacher Kitchy then warned them to use their voices efficiently and not waste it on chit-chatting with their classmates.
Another trivia by the voice coach was that proper breathing is actually done while sleeping. She  demonstrated this on Bunnyand said that as the stomach comes out, air is provided thus, enabling them to hold the tune longer. Before she left she gave them a few more tips for their first performance this Saturday.
Tomorrow would be another day, and another exercise and a sort-of voice therapy would be awaiting them. What lessons would the scholars pick up and utilize for their upcoming performance? Catch the latest developments on your favorite scholars on Uberture this afternoon with host Billy Crawford!
| Discovering the X-Factor with Direk Joey | | June 16, 2008 5:16 PM |  The scholars were at a loss for words as soon as Direk Joey stepped into the house and frankly told them the truths of show business. He pointed out that stars rise and fade quickly. It was his duty then to bring out the personality of the dreamers and challenge them to sustain the interest of their future fans.The renowned director stressed the importance of self-confidence and the ability to create a personality. He would train them as much as he could but it was up to the scholars to absorb every lecture and experience PDA would provide them. Direk Joey’s primary objective was for the dreamers to know themselves and let this attitude shine in their performances. Being a good singer wasn’t enough; the audience should also see the music through their attitude on stage. Mimicking the styles of their idols was highly discouraged and they should find and develop their own. To bring out the personality of the scholars, Direk Joey conducted an activity to open themselves up and be as honest as possible. Each had to pick a card and complete trivial sentences such as “Ang nararamdaman ko ngayon…” and “Ang ayaw ko sa sarili ko…” among others. Ross revealed that he felt proud of himself and his fellow housemates while Apple admitted that the Dream Night was the happiest moment in her life. Christian and Chivas picked a tearjerker, “Ang ayaw ko sa aking sarili…” and both couldn’t help but choke on their words. The Small Boy Wonder despised wanting to please everyone while Chivas couldn’t express anger even if he wanted to. Meanwhile, Laarni was angry with how people judge her without getting to know her. Bunny on the other hand confessed that she hates people who disrespect her. In the end, Direk Joey applauded them for being brave in opening themselves to the rest. He also reminded them that as long as they believed they were right, they should not yield to others. For more of this event tune in to the PDA Multiply Site and catch Uberture with RNB sensation, Billy Crawford! |
| Drum ‘a’ Drop and 5 Uber Da Tops | | June 16, 2008 7:18 PM |  On Uberture, everyone was thrilled with the obstacle game, Drum ‘a’ Drop. The objective of the game was to bounce a ping pong on a drum and shoot this in a fishbowl. But before they do, the scholars had to go through an obstacle course. The winners of the game would get a relaxing massage in the Jacuzzi courtesy of the losing team.
Hansen was first up for the Pupilars while Jet was for One Voice. The two put in their best effort to control the ball while jumping over the tires. The Pupilars made several attempts to shoot the ball into the bowl before they actually got one in. Will One Voice be able to score in the second round? Or will they once again be the servants of the other team?
Also on Uberture is a countdown of the Top 5 happenings inside the Academy. Last on the list was Bugoy’s display of his confident personality. The Farmer’s Son started singing away as soon as everyone settled in. Witty and bubbly, Bugoy was more than willing to entertain his classmates and be their source of happiness.
 Top Four is a cooking class with Bea and Cris. Bea, a culinary student, was able to whip up her team’s dinner in no time and had everyone full and satisfied. Cris on the other hand doubted her ability and is ready to hand over the task to the next cook.
Top Three is the Scholars’ flu vaccination that got Apple and Christian wailing in terror. Bunny had to accompany Apple while Christian asked if he could have the shot in his thigh where he also gets his growth hormone shots.
Top Two is Cristina’s display of her dancing skills. The Singing Interior Designer grooved to an invisible radio and had her classmates cheering for her.
 At the top of the list is Bugoy’s revelation that he wasn’t gay. Though he may be a bit effeminate and was unlike the rest of the guys in the house, he wasn’t what others think of him. Cristina assured him that like anyone else, he was unique.
Meanwhile, the scholars celebrated Father’s Day and were quite emotional during the exercise. See how the class paid tribute to their fathers, and Jet’s first day on PinoyDreamAcademy Season 2 on Primetime! |
