Ears on Sound Cloud 9

Super Cool Beats.

Hopefully, this year, I can produce my own show that will be a success - financially and PR-wise. Daaamn you cool event, I want you. Hehe. And these beats will set the tone for it.

This one by dqmusikero has something that's very elegant, sort of royal. I don't know how to explain it, maybe it's the feel or tone. Basta.
Run by dqmusikero

This naman, by a dutch duo, is very mysterious, very dark and very sexy. I can imagine boys and girls in suits and dresses staring at each other, fully clothed, but with nothing but nudity and sex on their minds. Haha. Let the games begin!

This is another cool vid by whom I call, the Prince of Mashups DJ McFly. Put your hands up in the air!


And then these will be the colors, the feel:

San Fernando Super Slam Concert

Featuring Wilabaliw, Itchyworms and Sponge Cola, it was my first time to do a concert with three big bands in one night. Wilabaliw (ang cute ni Isok at ang baliw ni Ian Tayao), Itchyworms (the best entertainer) and Sponge Cola (cute ni Yael, pero old songs) in San Fernando, Pampanga.

Backstage, I saw this. It caught my attention because I was taking a photo of the program posted on the wall (we were holding the concert on a street beside the provincial high school) and then tadaaa... inprisonment. I don't want to get inprisoned... Lol.

And ooh. Cool shoes! It's from one of the staff of Sponge Cola. It's adidas, cool!

Sounds and Lights: the cornerstone of "feel" in your event

Same song, different feel:

Love vs. Marriage

An office mate one day asked me how I would know if the person I'm dating or I'm in a relationship with is indeed "the one" of my life, the question referring to gay relationships. I told her that I'll never know. We'll never know.

Rational gay men, I think (lol), have a different context versus straight couples when it comes to lasting unions. To straight people, dating is a process of finding the right person to marry. But marriage only locks people together, marriage is not a promise of successful relationships. As most would say, marriage is a product of work. If marriage is that then why would one want to get into that? Well, because we're culturally wired to do so. Because marriage has societal and economic benefits. And so married people usually maintain marriage without looking after the real cause of the union - love. Straight people who rush themselves in dating are rushing themselves into their own prisons.

For me, how I see it, growing up with parents who struggled to keep their marriage until they became true friends, you know, how lovers become enemies and later on become friends out of respect for each other's relentlessness, marriage is a societal cage. You keep the marriage because it's "wrong" to dissolve it. Because God will get angry. People forget that marriage is founded on love. If love is lost, marriage will inevitably follow. On the other hand, married people who find bliss at the end of their marriage found bliss not because of the construct of marriage but because of the love they find in each other. Love is always the stronger institution, the stronger argument, the highest belief.

So from that context, how do I proceed then with finding my "the one." As I've said, I'm not looking for it. Whoever I'm with, if love stays, will be my "the one." And I'll never know if love will last until I've proven that love has lasted. Either at the end of it, or at the end of my human existence. Love, I think, is always the better marriage.

The relentless

I never thought I'd be inspired by Justin Bieber but yeah, hell I am. Success is reached by the relentless. Never say never.
