Revisit Past Dramas
Neverland x Raveolution3/13/2017 I know, it's wayyyy too late to still be writing this, but no matter. I'll publish this anyway. This event was weird, in my opinion. It was marketed as "a rave party where you get a chance to be doused in paint in powder form". Very much like that Indian festival (don't ask me what), not only that a similar party is also going to be held at a different place. Since I'm just a beginner in the music festival scene I just went with what ever decision my friends made.
Let me tell you something about me, I am not the kind of person who is willing to get down and dirty for the sake of fun. Oh no! I am down but I will not be dirty. I know, I'm such a killjoy, whatever! As one might expect, I was not very excited about the prospect that I will have to bring extra clothes nor be going back home covered in colored whatever. Still I went to the festival trying to hide my anxiousness over what would happen once I get there. There were goods& bads at the event of course. I mean inflatable playgrounds are the coolest ever. The giant slide was just too hard to climb. I mean I think they should give out helmets to anyone entering the slide. It was soooo slippery, and the fear comes from overthinking that you might crack your head when you fall. The obstacle course was fun too again, I think helmets should be given out as a safety precaution. Not only that, I think I would have enjoyed the inflatables if it wasn't too dark( I mean it was nighttime, what do you expect?). Who knows if you are already stepping on a foot or a head.. There were other booths of course, with never ending lines. I mean I don't get why lines are so chaotic, I mean, they were invented so there was a semblance of order right? Plus, I cannot understand why there was water shortage in the event. I mean literally, there was this superr long line to this booth selling water. In the end they had to let people out so they could buy from the food Mercato across the street. In the end, I wasn't covered in any unnecessary color. Some already had paint on their bodies, yes. I still thought I was lucky enough to be spotless. It was a bit awkward Monday back to work. The others, who went to the other music fest had pictures and stories that they were covered in paint. I was just trying to avoid answering questions if I had the chance to be covered in paint. The answer is, Nope, not gonna happen.

Cosmo Summer Party4/8/2016 So there I was, sitting in the office procrastinating. I just found out that Cosmopolitan Magazine is throwing a summer party(their first!). All you had to do to get in was email your name along with 4 of your friends' names. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to be invited, seeing that my name was not on my friend's list when I accidentally peeked at the email she was sending.. I also didn't think my other friends would be interested in attending anyway so I forgot all about it. Things changed when said friend asked me if I was available by March 19. In a twist of fate, it turns out she sent a different email because the people in her original list wasn't available. So of course I got excited, I mean it's Cosmo's first summer party. Plus, I have been so stressed lately that I have to in Rihanna's words "shake the stress away". I came to the Pool Club ahead of my friends, and I have to say I did have a lot of fun. Aside from music provided by 2 of the country's sought after DJs, there were booths from sponsors with fun activities. Palmolive had a photobooth, and gave away a waterproof pouch with a sample of their shampoo and conditioner. Kojie- San also offered to have your photo taken with their hot models, unfortunately I wasn't able to snag one of their tote bags 'coz the line was too long. They ended up not having enough to give to everyone. I got condoms, and a hug from one of the models of Okamoto. There were also games and free drinks to enjoy. I would definitely be looking forward to the next Cosmo Summer Event, hopefully there will be more sponsors and more fun. Thanks Cosmo for kicking off my summer season. :)
*Check out more photos here: Summer 20164/6/2016 This summer is by far my most eventful yet. Last 2014, I just endured the heat at home, while last year I definitely took advantage of our office's air conditioning to beat the heat. What makes this summer different? Well, it's just that my social calendar(wow!?) is quite full. Now that I have finally embraced my inner party girl, my calendar is definitely fuller than my usual. So What? If you haven't noticed yet, summer is actually festival season.
Almost every week of the month someone finds an excuse to hold summer parties or music festival. Proof? Here's the list of the things that I have lined up for this season(they are of course subject to change by the management):
*Stay tuned for stories from events above that are already ticked off. :) 2015: The Year of Fun.024/1/2016 I have been so lazy(take note::lazy not busy), this past year that I really didn't have time to record or put in writing whatever it is that happened everytime I marked something done in my social calendar. Yep, I now have a social calendar. Since, it's ow a bit late in my opinion to still write about it in detail, i've decided to just list down my social calendar last year. So here it is(that introduction sucked) it's not in chronological manner mind you:
1. Company Party in Raven Raven is a bar in BGC, the company where I work for right now, has quite a reputation to me for throwing awesome rave parties. But to close a bar in BGC? That is definitely something else, for me at least. As a member of the company's in-house dance group I was part of those who helped gave entertainment to an account's anniversary party. 2. TJR in Valkyrie -This marks a lot of firsts for me, my first time to go to a bar, go to a grown up party, see a dj that is not heard over the radio, let alone an international dj, exprience a confetti shower. TJR, mind you, is an american DJ (like the one who spins remixes at bars like Zedd or Calvin Harris) 3. Unleashed 6 -Unlike Unleashed 5 this was held at the MOA Concert Grounds, this was my second music festival, second time I saw Tommy Esguerra, first picture with Richard Juan, and apparently second tme I saw the very very very talented Carlo Atendido, and Nix Damn P. 4 Jadine in Pampanga -I literally don't know what came over me, when I went to this one. Here are the reasons why, how or what:
-TLC, one of my favorite channels, decided to come in manila for their food fest after Malaysia I think. Exciting part? Booths, Erwann Heussaff and the Fabulous Baker Brothers(yes, they are fabulous). When they got onstage to do a cooking demo I was I don't know how to describe it elated? excited:? Whatever, all I know is it was an effect of seeing their fabulousness in the flesh. Chris Brown X Tour: Manila7/29/2015 I'm new to attending concerts by any artist, but I've always wanted to attend one. When I had my first I thought that the next one would be spaced far in between. I certainly wasn't expecting to be attending 3 (and it's only been 7 months into the year); and for a concert novice that could be overwhelming. I certainly enjoyed my first 2. That's why when my seatmate from work asked me to come to a Chris Brown concert if ever he comes to the country, I readily said yes. Little did I know that in just a few months time he would indeed come to the Philippines as part of the X Tour.
I like Chris Brown, but I'm not a super fangirl, though I have to admit I listened to the whole album 1 month before the concert just so. I heard one girl, tell her friend that she had to google the lyrics of his songs just a few hours prior to making her way to the MOA Arena So there I was, in my 3rd concert for the year. I even had to ask my boss for a shift change just to get ready. I almost forgot to bring the ticket for the event. I just bought the sitting section of the ticket. I figured I don't wanna wait for a concert to start standing up; it was a mistake of course, I wasn't able to enjoy the show even if it was a good one. Plus, the show started 5 minutes before it was supposed to start. Chris Brown sang songs from his latest album X, and some of his old songs. He danced a lot during the show. Honestly, I feel like one of the reasons why it felt like the show was not enough was there's a lot of times where he wasn't singing. I mean, he did a lot of really really good dancing and some if not most of the times he wasn't really singing. H e would either just walk around the stage or dance. It was fine though, I mean he had sick moves. There wasn't really much curtain calls so he was visible on stage all the time. There wasn't much costume change I mean there needn't be since he just decided to go topless. So, looking back, concert starting on time, topless Chris Brown, Chris Brown showcasing sick moves, Chris Brown singing some of his best songs, and spotting famous people after the concert. Not a bad day, for me. Unleashed 57/4/2015 I've never been to a rave party outside the company's events, so naturally when one of my coworkers, a veteran party goer, invited me to go to Unleashed 5 i know i have to go. I mean known local DJs are going to the event and it would be a shame not to hear these people play. The only problem was, it was a wet party and I do hate getting wet. I decided to go in the end, of course, besides I have nothing else to do with my life.
So with some of my coworkers, we headed off to Megatent in Libis. Some of the tracks that the featured DJs played were versions of tracks from international DJs. It was fine of course, we know how hard it would be if these people released their own album. There were foam machines, which kinda reminds me of soap suds, they smell like Bonux detergent. There are also fire trucks, which is where I dragged my coworker to rinse off the soap suds we have on our body. Syempre, kapag naglaba ka magbanlaw ka na din... What made the party better was the fact that it also rained hard, twice. I could totally feel the wet party vibe when it started raining. As there were drinks on the venue itself being sold, one girl got so drunk she took off her blouse and starting dancing with just her bra on. After the party, we went to the nearby Eastwood City, to eat at Something Fishy, since they have this amazing breakfast buffet. I arrived home at 6 am, and as of this writing I still haven't gotten any sleep. It was truly an awesome experience for me and I will be looking forward to more events like this. Which would probably be next week, since I am going to our company's event in Raven. Sunnies Eastwood Opening6/21/2015 I have always loved Sunnies, they are my first ever sunglasses I bought with my own money. My love affair with the brand started when Georgina Wilson, one of the owners, guested on Showtime and gave Sunnies to the audience. I don't really know why but at that moment I made a mental note to myself that I would buy myself Sunnies. So when I saw that they have a store in Megamall I bought myself a pair. I've always loved that pair, I have it everywhere I go and would always have a reason to wear it. My love for the brand was the reason why I went to their opening in Eastwood Mall, one of my favorite places in the metro. Aside from the fact that they gave away free pairs to the 1st 100 customers. I wasn't able to make it though as I was probably number 110, and I do blame traffic for that and the fact that I haven't paid the place a visit in a year. I did have fun of course, I mean why in the world not? Since, I really didn't have any money to spend, I didn't buy myself anything (even if I wanted to) and just helped myself to other things the Sunnies Team had in store for their fans. They had free popcorn, cotton candy and you can get a free doughnut if your present your receipt. You can even meet Georgina Wilson herself, so that was what I looked forward to. I wasn't able to make it to 1st 100 customer promo but, I saw another chance to score free Sunnies. They had another promo wherein if you sign up to their newsletter you can get one of the 10 styles they are giving away for free. After waiting for a lot of hours, Georgina finally arrived, YAY!!! I had sooo much fun, hopefully I get to go their next event to show my love and support for this brand. For more pictures, click on the button below.
