My Top 10 Random Filipino Music Moments of 2011
I must say it was pretty difficult to decide on which ones since there are so many wonderful moments that always happen when you’re surrounded by great musicians. I wanted to do an EVERYTHING Highlight of 2011, but decided to just separate them all into different categories, and the easiest for me to pick were the random ones.

Club owner Jay Server organized a party for me last Monday because of winning best photo blog at the recent Philippine Blog Awards. I actually don’t know why there was a part 2 since we already celebrated when Francis and I went to Capone’s last saturday (a celebration which ended at 6:30 in the morning), but he told me that I really deserved the celebration.
