Saturday last week, I watched Up Dharma Down perform at Saguijo. It's great to see another Filipino band gain its well-deserved recognition in the Asian music industry.
We Give in Sometimes (Japanese-inspired video, love the graphics!)
Learn the tricks of fire
And wash yourself with it
Taya (Notice the play of lights)
Kagabi
Di matapos-tapos ang
Nobelang nabuo sa mumunting isipan 'ko
Pag-Agos (Not your usual traffic scene)
Kailan ang huling unos?
Sana (Video-Game inspired)
Wala na bang makakapantay at di na ba dapat pang maghintay
Ako lang ba ang nagkasala?
Kumakapit sa natitirang sana.

A bit behind posting, yes..but it's never too late for aesthetic pleasure:
University of Santo Tomas - Manila
18 December 2009, UST Paskuhan*
(click to zoom)
Dancing of Lights at the UST Main Building.
Giant Christmas Tree situated at the Grandstand
Inside the UST Main Building lies a wide array of historic culture (where the Museum is, as well).
More of Christmas art decors around the University.
One of the highlights is the 15-minute fireworks display.
Counting down to 2011, wherein UST celebrates its 400 years as the Royal Pontifical University in the Philippines.
I graduated from UST back in 2003, with a degree in Business Administration... and look where I am now! Lolz. I guess, that part of my study is applied in doing special projects and handling people at work. (In case you're still wondering, I'm a graphic designer/ photographer, career-wise)
It is always good to look back at a part of my history. Lots of great memories here in my Alma Mater, which never fails to bring back that certain "school spirit" in me. Now that UST is nearing its 400th year, it gives me something to look forward to --- can't wait to be a part of it!

*An annual tradition held during December -- filled with activities, programs and free food. It showcases Thomasian talents, alongside reminiscing of events that transpired during the school year. The event officially jumpstarts Christmas break, a two-three week holiday for UST Faculty and Students. It officially ends with a 15-minute fireworks display.
Happy Holidays to you, your family, friends and neighbors from all of us at Vox.
See you in 2010!
See you in 2010!
(...which I think is a good thing these days.)
C'est tout.
My friend/co-photographer took these images Thursday last week.
He took a lot, but here are some samples:
Looking down...
It was fun doing the photo shoot, but I'd really rather be behind the lens :-)
I'm more comfortable taking my photos at home, thank you very much.
(And with a timer too!)
But who knows?! I did get the hang of it!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
A CHEERIO CHRISTMAS & A BLISSFUL NEW YEAR!!!

New video I've been grooving my ass off. Lolz.
I like Jay Sean.
Here's another video from the young British R&B artist.

It took me four years (or maybe five) to get back to Saguijo --- a bar wherein both band and crowd enjoys the intimacy of the place.
The return was quite nostalgic. And therapeutic to the senses.
Radioactive Sago Project Live at Saguijo
I was sitting in the corner, enjoying great sounds.
Opening acts include a variety of bands, young and old, attuned to please the audience.
"Framing" the vocalist.
The guitarist and the trumpist compliment each other perfectly.
Wall art.
Vocalist of Up Dharma Down effortlessly sings and tinkers the keyboard.
Band drummer.
The crowd participates as the band plays.
Guijo St., Makati
Handpainted wall art.
This makes a nice postcard.

It was bizaare to see Saguijo housing a new crowd. There was no familiar face to greet or say hi to. But I'm glad to witness how the place still offers music seemingly exclusive for the audience to participate to.
That and the fact that it still maintains a subconscious promise: to bring satisfaction to people who finds solace in music.
Saguijo is located at 7612 Guijo St., San Antonio Village, Makati.
You can check daily gigs at their official website.

My series of photos for the past few days has been lying high and dry my portable drive.
That being said, I badly need a day or two to update my portfolio and post visual pleasantry. :-)
