Whenever I drive, I would usually tune in to Jam 88.3. And since I would like to discover more music (something that might be new to me and not to you), I just followed the Jam 88.3’s Weekly Top 30 on Spotify. Continue reading “Jam 88.3’s Weekly Top 30 on Spotify”
The Dawn Trenta: The Repeat
Jett Pangan and Carlos Balcells
The Dawn celebrated a repeat of their 30th anniversary at The Music Museum last night. I missed the first one that was held at the Craft BGC last September. I’m glad that I didn’t miss this one 🙂
Yes, this was certainly our party. We stood up after a few songs were already performed by the iconic Pinoy rock band The Dawn. Some were drinking beer while singing with the band while I was drinking my Rhum Cola and was taking photos in between.

I want my Chilli Garlic Buttered Shrimp
Just yesterday, we were tuned into Jam 88.3 and a Brass Pas Pas Pas Pas song caught our attention. Yes, the title is Chilli Garlic Buttered Shrimp. It’s a feel-good song that would make you hum or sing along with it instantly. True enough, I kept on singing it while we’re at the grocery which made Sha so annoyed. 😀 Continue reading “I want my Chilli Garlic Buttered Shrimp”
20 Years of Jagged Little Pill
This album by Alanis Morisette is one of the first CDs that I bought. I remember, I was on a vacation with my Dad in the US when I bought it. I was around 14 years old at the time if I’m not mistaken. It was probably one of the most played CDs at home because we loved listening to Jagged Little Pill. It came to the point that we can no longer play it due to the scratches it has sustained. Continue reading “20 Years of Jagged Little Pill”

Urbandub’s Farewell Concert
And so, it happened last May 9. I was actually thinking of joining the Nike Women’s run (happened on the same night). Since it’s their farewell concert, I certainly did not want to miss the opportunity to watch them live.
Check out my recording of their performance of “Soul Searching” (from their album “Influence” that was released in 2003).
Haven’t heard of Urbandub’s music? Listen to their music on Spotify.
Thank you Urbandub
This is not an April Fool’s Joke guys. This news has been confirmed. Yes, Urbandub is saying goodbye after 15 years. They have announced it on their Facebook page.
15 years of Urbandub. We in the band, past and present members, still can’t believe we lasted this long. What started… Continue reading “Thank you Urbandub”
Watching The Eraserheads live in Singapore
The Eraserheads at the catwalk with the 5th Ehead, Sancho
It was my first time to watch a concert overseas. And it’s not a foreign act. It’s one of my favorite bands in the Philippines, The Eraserheads. You may think that it’s crazy to go to Singapore and watch our fellow countrymen perform even though that we can watch them here. After they disbanded, I saw them reunited in 2008. Then, I was able to get a chance to watch the Eraserheads in 2009. After 2009, I thought that was the last time that I will be able to see them live. Thus, when I heard about the Singapore concert, I got really excited. Continue reading “Watching The Eraserheads live in Singapore”
Testing the Canon Powershot G15 in a concert
Ebe Dancel
While most of the people around me are using a dSLR, I opted to test the Canon Powershot G15 in a concert organized by RockEd Philippines last November. The Canon PowerShot G15 is way different from its predecessor. It’s widest end (focal length) is at f/1.8 while it’s farthest end is at f/2.8 which is pretty good for taking pictures in low-light.
Here are some of the photos that I took during the concert.
Gracenote
The picture below shows how near I am to the stage. This camera is good if you’re really close to the stage. Otherwise, it’s better to have a camera with you that has a longer focal length.
Sandwich
I’m pleased with the performance of this camera. For a big concert like this with a long line-up, the camera survived even if I recorded some videos with it too.
