Switchfoot rocks Manila!

I know, I know. Long absence and all.

BUT.

You’ll forgive me when you see the pics I’m posting. Whoo boy, this week has been nothing short of amazing. I lot has happened the past two months, but this one takes the cake. So the rest of my life will have to wait another blog entry. hehe.

The short of it is, I got to be Artist Liaison for Switchfoot at their recent concert last Monday (September 10th). Awesome, awesome guys. Extremely down-to-earth. I’ve seen them three other times in SF, but they are definitely better now. Not some rehashed gig. Totally rocked Manila. A friend said it best, “It’s like I fell in love with Switchfoot all over again.” hahaha. So true.

Oh. And Jerome is now on my list of Pinoy heroes. Definitely.

I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Read and weep, loveys

Thank God 29 is still in the calendar.

TGIF, people! Clean out the Out Tray, because work week is just about to end!

Thanks to everyone who greeted me on my birthday. I have to say, it’s been a good year. Despite ALL that’s happened. God’s been good indeed. I was definitely watched over, blessed, and taken good care of. The rollercoaster ride… well, that’s icing on the cake.

I’ll upload pics this weekend (maybe. hehe). Till then, check this guy out. He is FUNNY. Worth a good laugh and a half. Here’s one of his videos I fully enjoyed (Sorry, I’ve yet to learn how to embed videos on WordPress).

Have an awesome weekend guys!

A new home.

I’ve done it.

I don’t know why I did but I’m definitely happy with the change.

Thank you, Blogger. You’ve been good to me all these years. But you can’t export archives, and so I must go.

Hello, WordPress. Here’s to a new life together. A happier one. With lots of features. And more entries.

The perfect time to blog.

Been stuck at home by obligation the past two days. I underwent surgery last Monday for my third molar (an odontectomy, for those in the know). It was growing horizontally so it had to be drilled, sliced open, then removed. Sweet huh? I’ve never had any serious work done on my teeth EVER because I’ve never had cavities, so you can imagine how terrified I am the day of the operation. And I’m not crazy about needles either. Ayayay.

Good thing my dentist had me on headphones watching The Devil Wears Prada. Still, it was hard to concentrate, what with the sound of the drill and the constant shower of blood, saliva and shards of teeth sprinkling out of my gaping-wide traumatized mouth. God knows how much of that was on my poor dentist’s face. Ugh.

I don’t think I’ll ever want to be a dentist. Ever. In my lifetime or the next.

Which brings me forward two days, at home, on bedrest. Half my face is swollen, and the toothache is a killer. I’m told these are signs of healing. Funny. Did I mention that when I’m better I’m supposed to go back to have my other third molar operated on?

The only upside to my anguish is that my current diet consists of ice cream and all things cold. Yay! The very things I’m supposed to avoiding in my normal diet. Bebs got me a gallon of FIC Sugarfree Mangoes & Cream… and expressed his commiseration by finishing it. Hmm.

He owes me another gallon.

Meanwhile, check this out: Visual DNA kuno. I do like how it got me. (Thanks to Patsy for the link).

Better than life Project Launch Night

A big THANK YOU to all those who came to the launch of The Better than Life Project. You guys are so so awesome! Traffic was horrendous last night causing a delay in the show, but we’re glad you guys braved through it and stuck it out with us.

For those who didn’t get to join us at the first gig, do come to the next shows! We still have the remaining Tuesdays of June.

Here’s a glimpse of last night’s launch:

From left: Wowee on keyboard, Pido on guitar, Radha, Chedie and Noah (hidden) on vocals), Top on guitar, and Bebs on bass.

Chedie (of the defunct Smokey Mountain). Amazing pipes this girl.

Radha, another crazy lady. She can BELT like nobody’s business.

The master himself, Noel Mendez, and my Bebster.

The Better than Life Project LIVE!

Shameless plug, but all for a good cause…

I need your support guys!

My husband Bebs is launching his music album THIS Tuesday at 19 East (along Sucat Highway Service Road). He did all the words and music and got his musician friends to sing them. Some of the artists include Barbie, Jay Durias (South Border), Naldy Gonzales (Side A), Top Suzara, and MANY MORE.

Anyway, I know it’s a work week, but I would absolutely appreciate it if you guys could come and watch the show. It starts at 930pm, so you can actually come earlier and have dinner there. Their food is good AND the place is pretty There’s an entrance fee of P250, but consider it a good investment for a concert featuring some of the country’s best musicians from different bands. Not to mention, the proceeds of the CD sales go to a non-profit organization that feeds street kids in Manila.

The show will run every Tuesday of June at 19 East, so please do invite your friends to come. Also, the CD is available for only P250. I guarantee the music is good . Here’s the CD artwork so you know what to look for in the music stands:

PLEASE PLEASE do come. Support local music. Support my husband. hehe. And pass the word around!

Do let me know if you guys can make it. Text or email me so that I can expect you.

See you all there!!!!

One hundred and one reasons

…for not posting, all of which spell the four-letter word: BUSY.

But it’s good to be home. Although I forget how excruciatingly hot it is here. Someone has GOT to invent a portable airconditioner. Like one of those gigantic anti-freon cooling contraptions they have at those al fresco restaurants in Greenbelt. Only much smaller. Something you can attach to your phone maybe and packs a good two horsepower charge. And lasts the whole day. I’d definitely buy that over the iPhone. That, or my friend Kira says global warming might actually cause the Philippines to snow one day. I’ll take either one.

But yes, all in all it’s good to be home. Check out our recent Holy Week beach trip with JJ and Raffy to Subic and Batangas, summed up in our weekend’s toys: a 115-ft yacht & her seven-man crew, a chopper, a speedboat and a suburban. Surreal.

Thanks to JAC’s good graces for the lovely weekend.
And J for coming home with a bang.

Never use your cellphone in the shower.

…Yup. that’s pretty much the short of it.

So now I’ve a new phone with zero contacts.
Please be a dear and email (or text) me your contact number/s.

Thanks, loveys. Highly appreciate it

Two truths and a lie:

1. I enjoy meeting different kinds of people.
2. My eyefolds are fake.
3. I love wild rides.

So, wanna give it a shot?

Happy 2nd Birthday, South City!

About a thousand people showed up at Bellevue last Sunday.
How awesome is that…
