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.
These are my personal choices, based on how each event affected me. I’m sure each one of us have our own highlights, but these are the ones which are relevant to me and which I saw with my own eyes.

Celebrate ‘Like Royalty’ in Capone’s
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. Awww.
There was buffet, a karaoke band called Semipro. I still haven’t recovered from the weekend’s rollercoaster events and was ready for a simple and relatively quiet get together, until a large group of people arrived.
It was Australian band LIKE ROYALTY, who apparently WILL BE OPENING FOR PARKWAY DRIVE this Friday. They took over the stage and played a couple of songs. Later on they jammed with Semipro and sang the songs they like.
I didn’t bring a camera as I was still overwhelmed with all the photos I need to post in this blog, good thing my friend Haw brought his camera. Although I really feel bad borrowing other people’s camera’s, Haw was kind enough to lend it to me. I feel like every click I take is like wasting time in the movie In Time, LOL. He also took photos of me in this album. Thank you! :D :D :D
There was actually a showdown between Jay and the singer. Jay won by default of course being the owner of the bar. Haha.

Tahiti 80 in Manila!!!
To celebrate their 10th anniversary Terno Recordings brought Tahiti 80 to perform here in Manila last Friday at the Alphaland Southgate. I wasn’t really there to take photos, but you know me I couldn’t help not doing so especially when the event has such a fun vibe.

I caught Noel Cabangon sing “Kahit Maputi na ang buhok ko” for us. This was after dinner at the rehearsals for TikTok Pilipinas. This song was originally sung by Sharon Cuneta and I think it’s in his latest album.
Armi Millare then does this cute Japanese accent in the latter part of the video. Hee!
I know it’s a cheezy song, but you can’t help but wish someone would sing this to you when you’re old.

She looks like she came out of a 60s scrapbook. So pretty. I love her jacket. It’s by Puey Quinones :)
