In 1984, San Miguel Beer released a TV ad entitled, “Isang Platitong Mani” which featured popular Filipino icons such as “Flash” Elorde, pop icon Rico J. Puno, billiards champion Amang Parica and legendary jockey Eduardo Domingo. The ad became very popular and in 2009, San Miguel Beer made a remake of that famous TV ad which featured the newest endorsers from showbiz and sports industries such are Michael V. , Derek Ramsey, Efren “Bata” Reyes and Manny Pacquiao. This was where we heard the phrase “roasted highland legumes”, the English translation of the common finger foods that we Filipinos (and other beer-drinking nationalities) love to nibble whenever we have a round of beer.

I must say that the Pinoy Rock Scene rocked in 2009. Here are some of the highlights:
Album releases from both indie and signed local bands such as Archipelago, The Dawn, Techyromantics, Peryodiko, Duster, Silent Sanctuary,Kjwan, Paramita, Musical O, Us-2-Evil-O and many more. Some of the must-listen to’s that I would recommend are Peryodiko, Us-2-Evil-O, Techyromantics and Archipelago. Read the rest of this entry »
2:31 am, 1st of January 2010. Happy new year and thanks for being a part of my 2009!
Generally, 2009 has been good to me. My career and personal life is doing well and so far I haven’t encountered any big problems yet. Hopefully this will be a refreshing start in my career.
Days before 2009 year ended, I was fortunate to have spent it with my different sets of friends. First is the wedding of my blogger friends, Jay De Jesus and Aileen Apollo-De Jesus last 26th December. This is the official merging of Google Philippines and Titikpilipino.com. (not in the business sense, ok? hehe). Congratulations to the both of you and may you have beautiful children! Although your bridal car did not arrive on your wedding day, what’s important is that you were able to say your “I do’s”. Sue them afterwards so that they’ll have a dose of their bitter medicine.

Mailing lists in the cyberspace have existed a long time ago and bands these days are taking advantage of the opportunity to interact with their fans both online and offline. On the other hand, the fans also take advantage of that situation because this is the exclusive time a band offers to their fans. Nowadays, clubs allow a handful of bands to perform every night which lessens that set list they’re allowed to perform (usually 3-5 songs per set).
I believe that it was in the late 90’s or early 2000 when local Filipino bands organized lister’s night parties. I remembered some bands such as the Eraserheads, The Dawn, Rivermaya organizing those parties. I was able to attend listers nights of Eraserheads years ago and then few months was The Dawn. Each and every lister’s night I’ve attended in the past and the present were fun and have realized the differences among their crowds. Read the rest of this entry »

Then join my contest here and be one of the three winners of these cool Schutzen notebooks!
Schutzen notebooks are not like your ordinary notebooks because of its quality. The cover itself is made of leather so you’re sure that it will last a long time. There are fillers available in major bookstores in case every page is filled up. The paper is very smooth and you’ll definitely enjoy writing on it. I currently have a perpetual planner also from Schutzen which has the same type of paper as the notebooks in the picture and I liked the smoothness of the paper. Aside from being a normal notebook, they all have card slots and post it notes! These notebooks are priced at around Php 300 – 500 so if you win one of these, you won’t have to spend that much money!

Bands have their own style, whether they consciously or unconsciously thought of it. I just loved how band members themselves take the effort of choosing the clothes they wear whenever they go on stage. Nothing really extravagant is needed, for as long as it looks good and fits well on them.
A few days ago, I was invited to the Create Your Style event of Puma in Greenbelt 5. Two of the band endorsers of Puma, Up Dharma Down and Drip, performed to show their Puma style. Honestly, I was quite excited to see them again because they’re two of my favorite local bands. Read the rest of this entry »
Rock the Riles is the biggest event of Rock Ed Philippines which happens every year. For the past years, I have been wanting to be part of this event but unfortunately, due to some reasons, could not make it. But now, I really made sure that I will be able to attend this timely event.
Rock the Riles happens every Sunday which is closest to Human Rights Day. This is composed of 8 simultaneous concerts and film showings in MRT stations such as Taft, Ayala, Buendia, Boni, Shaw, Cubao, Quezon Avenue and North Avenue. I volunteered to be part of the event and decided to stay at the Shaw MRT Station.I was there at around 2:30 pm and stayed until the last band, Paramita, played at 7:30 pm. The permit was until 7 pm but some stations such as Shaw Blvd, Ayala, Buendia and Cubao had to go overtime. Some bands in Cubao and Buendia Stations weren’t able to continue to play because the MRT officials there had to pull the plug. Glad that Shaw Blvd and Ayala Station bands were able to finish performing; well it’s really the prerogative of each station manager. Read the rest of this entry »

I was totally surprised that The Killers will be performing here in Manila. I got really excited because if I’ll be watching,I can hear them perform “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me” live! BUT I am still not sure if I am going, I still need to check on my finances if I can shell out money for this . I really wanna watch but it’s still tentative. Oh well, I’m just giving you guys a heads up on this. If you will be able to watch this, I’m happy for you but as of now, I still need to make ends meet. Hehe.
I know it’s a cliche but thank God, I survived the recent typhoons. An ordinary employee like me can only do as much. Thanks to Gang for allowing me to help in my own little way in some fund raising drives that Rock Ed has organized. Read the rest of this entry »
