So far, so good

The Christmas Season is starting to grow on me. Cold nights, crazy streets on a week day, rat packed malls and of course, parties here and there – with these happening, my self is definitely getting on to the Christmas spirit.

And now, I present you my schedule for the rest of this month. Ho ho ho! Things are quite hectic, yes!

Dec. 9: Whilst We Wait Exhibit at the Lomography Manila HQ

Whilst We Wait: A Project On Waiting

I think you should know that I’m still at the office (yes at 2:30am) preparing for this exhibit tomorrow (and yeah, writing this blog, heh). We’re all excited! And you are ALL invited to go! Mount Analogue will be playing an acoustic set so as The Strangeness, Slow Hello, Hannah+Gabi and Outerhope. See event here.

Dec. 11: Rock the Riles Year 7 

Rock for Human Rights!

As usual, I’ll be volunteering at the Ayala Station where Terno bands will play. See full line-up here.

Dec. 15: N/WSK: Number Line Records x Fete dela WSK

Number Line Records x Fete dela WSK

Fete dela WSK is bigger than ever! This event is just one of a dozen they have. Good job! And oh, Similar Objects will be releasing an EP! See event here.

Dec. 16: Meiday HO HO HOE LET’S GO!

Meiday Xmas Party before we end the year!

Awesome awesome Meiday line-up as usual! See event here.

Dec. 17: Terno Recordings Christmas Party and rummage sale!

Terno Partyyyyy!

Terno Infernos NEVER FAIL to be fun! And this one? For sure it’s gonna be epic! Music and shopping (and beer! He he he!) will make this night a bang! See event here.

Dec. 23: Lomography Manila Christmas Party aka offset then buffet and drinks!

Dec. 25: Jesus’ birth, of course <3

Gaaah. Thinking of these events makes me tired already. But nah, it’s all good fun and parties like these only happen once a year. So why complain?

Anyway, I’ve got to go back to my cutting and installing of photos. It’s almost 2:45am and I need some sleep when I get home for the loooooong day ahead!

Enjoy the rest of the month, friends! Stay merry!

And then there was Fete!

And then I was not able to update! :p

But first things first… Fete was fun! Alright, I have to give all my happiness credit to the Indie Stage at Keg hosted by Meiday because that’s where I stayed… All night long. Haha.

Thank you Meiday for that awesome party! It was packed, as usual Meiday’s are, but nothing beats sharing live music with people who could sincerely appreciate it.

Here’s the host of the night, Reggie! This lady could speak two languages oh so fluently! English and Baklese! Haha bonnga teh!

Vivat Regina

And of course, we should not miss! Thank you Mei!

Mei Bastes aka Indie Queen of the local scene!

Meiday x Fete could never be compared to any Fete that happened a few years back. Simply because it isn’t the same!

More pictures by yours truly HERE! Yayyyy!

When Old School Meets New School

THE EMBASSY of FRANCE, ALLIANCE FRANCAISE de MANILLE
in partnership with ALTERNATIVE ASSETS and B-SIDE present:

FETE DE LA MUSIQUE 2011:
La VIELLE x La NOUVELLE – Old School meets New School

100+ Bands.
14 Genres.
8 Stages.
1 Night.

Look, the line-up!

NOTE:  Meiday Stage STAYS at The Keg, Fort Strip tomorrow while the rest of the Fete stages are moving to The Collective in Malugay St., Makati.

 

I’ve been attending Fete De La Musique since 2005 (except for a skip last year since Fete wasn’t held here in Manila) and it has always been a good way to hear various music while sharing it with  friends and strangers alike. Fete has always been memorable for me. And tomorrow, rain or shine, I know it will be the same again!

Stage-hopping (as me and my friend, Aie, would say) is one activity to do in Fete. It could be mighty tiring but it sure is fun! But if I were to stay on one stage tomorrow, you’ll most likely see me here.

 

(Us-2-Evil-O won’t be playing anymore, but Outerhope and The Royal has been added in the line-up!)

It’s Meiday x Fete! Come! Let’s dance to this beautiful line-up! I haven’t attended Meiday for so long and tomorrow is just the perfect timing to make a comeback! Yay!

So see you tomorrow? Lezgow!
