Okay now for the highlight of my night!

Good friends know very well how much of an electronica junkie I am. I’ve always been interested in making my own music but I never met my perfect instrument until I tried on this Pioneer mixer at Club V two years ago. I am very blessed to be mentored by two of the country’s most influential DJs Boyet Sison and Mon Maramba (who’s already spinning in CA). I never went pro because really, I’d rather sleep at night than party. Whenever am out for a gig though, I’m always asked who’re my fave electronica artists. I can always add a couple of new artists but Chicane, Zero 7, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, Groove Armada never left my list. Out of those favorites, Chicane’s the only band (yes, they’re a band and not just 1 DJ) I’ve been fortunate to see thrice (last night was the third time).

Thanks to Nokia, I got to hang out with Chicane (!!!!!) pre-gig!

Backstage, I had two options:

1. Totally geek out and ask Nick Bracegirdle (guy holding the mic) for mixing tips.
2. Shut up, grin, and just enjoy being in the same room with them.

Itinerary #2: MAC Fafi Launch

You have NO idea how muchuva big deal it is for me for Fafi to actually land in the Felefens. Without going through the bloody details, I almost shelled out $200 for Ermine! It was obviously the first thing I asked when the collection’s confirmed to be brought here!

Post Lipton and TBS event, my heart just stopped:

My la la la land

Helloooooo beautif’l!
