It’s only been a few days, but most of us here in Manila are still in that hangover phase from the previous week. Not only did Lady GaGa came here to perform for 2 sold-out shows, but we were also graced by the presence of ANTM models Dominique Reighard and Allison Harvard, also known as Creepy Chan online.

Both of them walked in Michael Cinco’s fashion show last Sunday at the launch of his perfume (under Bench) called “Impalpable”. It was the most anticipated event in the whole course of fashion week for holiday 2012. I just couldn’t let this one opportunity to see these ladies and M5 in person, so I did whatever I could to score a pass.

Luckily, I did. 🙂

Hi everyone!

Us at the Incubus Street Team Philippines will have an outreach at the Boystown complex in Parang, Marikina city next month, June 2. Come and join us! Spend a few hours of your time bonding with the kids as well as meet new friends from the street team who are fans of the band too. 😉

There’s possibly a slight chance of awkwardness because I’m sure majority of the kids won’t know what we are representing, LOL. Right now, I’m thinking not to wear anything black. They might associate to a cult. Lmao.

Information and the basic need-to-knows are on the poster.

Hope to see you!

Singapore, Day 1: Botanical Gardens & Marina Bay Sands

Hello, hello!

My apologies, again, for being MIA here but I do have a good reason. Last week, I was abducted by aliens and they flew me to Singapore for a three-day stay and gave me enough time to watch a concert, go to a few tourist-friendly places and enjoy their food and lastly, take photos in between those activities.

My attempt at creating a panoramic sweep photo on my camera

Well, no, of course I wasn’t abducted by aliens… they don’t exist! =)) I did, however, flew to SG but I was with a friend. To sum our trip: We basically LOL’d around Singapore. We got lost, had our funny moments, acted like shameless tourists, went places.

I think that country will always be a place for me to visit with friends instead of with family members. This was my 2nd time in the country and like the first time, I went there with friends from school. I doubt I’ll be going there again with family.

During our first day of stay, we first had lunch at TCC in Orchard road. After that, we split up with the group and my friend and I were on our way to the SG Botanical Garden. I blame the advertisement we found on the in-flight magazine of CebuPac for bringing this place to our attention, hahaha. That night, we went to the Marina Bay Sands and had our dinner there. Roamed around the mall and went to find their casino. Our last stop was at Kinokuniya bookstore and twas followed by my sudden death from visual suffocation. Hahaha, I saw too many books I couldn’t handle what I saw.

I’ll let the photos do the talking!

What You Should Take with You to a Rock Concert

Are you planning on rocking it out and letting it loose at a concert of your favorite rock band? Here are some ideas for what you should take with you to a rock concert:

The Right Clothing – The key when it comes to dressing to a rock concert is comfort. Dress comfortably. It’s a crowded event, not a socializing event so it won’t really matter what you will wear as long as it’s decent and presentable. Don’t wear anything too valuable as your clothing might get some wear and tear at the concert. If the concert is at an outdoor venue, monitor the weather forecast and dress appropriately. Wear a hooded parka or a windbreaker for rainy or windy conditions, extra layers for cold weather, and lighter colored clothing to reflect the sunlight in hot weather. Also, wear the appropriate footwear. Shoes or boots are preferable to flip-flops or sandals as your feet may get stepped on in a crowded rock concert environment.
Accessories – Make yourself look ultra-cool with some stylish sunglasses. Wear some jewelry that compliments your clothing. Wear a funky hat or one with the band’s logo, though you have to be considerate that wearing a hat might block the view of the person watching in the back. Give yourself a Keith Richards or Bruce Springsteen look with a bandana.
Medical/Sanitary Supplies – Concerts can be dirty environments and you will come into contact with many people. Bring some napkins to clean yourself off as needed and a small bottle of antibacterial soap to help keep germs at bay. Bring any medicine or prescriptions if you have any medical conditions.
Water – Check with the venue beforehand to see if you are allowed to take any beverages inside. You can get dehydrated quite easily at a concert, particularly if it is at an outdoor venue during the summer.
Money – Make sure to bring enough money to cover all potential expenses at a concert, such as tickets, parking, souvenirs, and food and beverages.

Perhaps you have a love of music and want to pursue a career in the music industry. For information educational opportunities to help you achieve your career goals, click here.
