Everyone has their share of opinions about the recently concluded 7107 music festival last weekend. No, I didn’t go. (#brokeassblogger problems) But would it count for anything that I did go to one of the mall shows w/ a couple of their artists headlining it?

Well I did, and it was ‘nice’. I am not a fan nor do I know a handful of songs from both performers, but it’s still something. At the end of the day I’d have my own story related to 7107 to tell people about. Hahahaha. Not close, not quite, but still somehow connected.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. 

So what really happened was that I accompanied a friend (who’s already going to the festival itself the next day, w/ tickets and hotel accommodation already set, by the way) to the 2nd mall show featuring The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and The Astroid Galaxy Tour. It was in the Venice Piazza mall in the McKinley Hill, BGC. Far from where I usually go. Show’s venue was at the open area location.

It was my 2nd time to go to that mall and we even got lost on our way there. That’s what happens when you try to save up money by taking multiple public transports even though you have no concrete idea how to go there instead of saving time (but not money) and getting a cab in the first place that’ll take you there. Luckily when we arrived, the show hasn’t started yet. 

This not something original that I came up. I saw this first from one of the people I follow on tumblr, @negativepleasure is his username I think. :)) Basically the point of a Things I Saw post is to post pictures of things you saw. Simple, no? LOL

My first set for this includes places around Ayala (Greenbelt mall), Makati, Mall of Asia By the Bay areas. These are from 2 weeks ago-Monday this week. At the time that I kept going back to Makati to get my laptop fixed (battery was starting to die and it needed replacement).

Weather was gloomy on my way there. Good thing it didn’t rain because I was left in the repair shop and I walked from the repair shop to Greenbelt. Psh.

This Monday, I went to Greenbelt again to watch films from this year’s Cinemalaya festival. Well that’s for another separate entry.. IF I get around to typing it down without spoiling anything.

Anyhoo. I didn’t really have any purpose for taking these photos aside from posting some of them in Instagram later on. Then I realized as I was cleaning my phone, I have a lot of photos! Might as well post them here instead of just dumping them on a folder, to be burned to a DVD for backup.

Disclaimer: As much as I’ve been going to this place all my life, I still do not know the names of the streets aside from knowing the landmarks and knowing that the general area where the malls are is in “Ayala, Makati city”. So um, enjoy the photos and if you feel the need to correct me if I have labeled a location wrong in the photo, feel free to post in the comments! 😛 I really just take photos for my own documenting purposes. And if you’re within the Philippines, I’m sure these wouldn’t interest you because you see this place every day especially if you’re working near this area.

So without further distractions, here the rest of the photos under the cut. Enjoy. =))
