(Make sure to play all videos in 360p / 480p for better video and sound quality)

January


Ritual Union by Little Dragon
This song is so uniquely done I cannot stop listening to it up to this day. I'm in love with Yukimi.
------------------------------------------------------

February

Scale It Back by DJ Shadow Feat. Little Dragon
Obviously still on a Little Dragon high.
------------------------------------------------------

March


What You Were by The Drums
My favorite from their latest album entitled 'Portomento'.
------------------------------------------------------

April


Everlasting Light by The Black Keys
There is so much freshness in this song don't you think? I'd want to watch a Black Keys show someday.
------------------------------------------------------

May


Conversation 16 by The National
The National. Matt Berninger's voice. Dessner twins. Bryan Devendorf (who looks exactly like John Lennon). Need I say more?
------------------------------------------------------

June


Reunion by M83
The live version of this is way better. M83 is such a great band it makes me cry sometimes...
------------------------------------------------------

July


Truth by Chiddy Bang Feat. Passion Pit
For my upbeat hiphop cravings.
------------------------------------------------------

August


Girl I Love You by Massive Attack Feat. Horace Andy
So mysterious. So real. So dark and eery. Beautiful...
------------------------------------------------------

September


Call It What You Want by Foster The People
I never gave attention to Foster The People even though their songs were everywhere! But this particularly one stuck out to me because of its unique tune and that music video...wow.
And they're as good live!
------------------------------------------------------

October


Ghost Dream by Blouse
I love this song so much I decided to make a whole fashion collection out of it.
------------------------------------------------------

November


Entombed by Deftones
My 'tear enhancement' song.
------------------------------------------------------

December


Winter Beats by I Break Horses
This song is annoying but I like it at the same time. Weird...
------------------------------------------------------

What have you been listening to?

highlights of 2012


January


It was a much awaited time of the year not only because it was the start of 2012 but also because I was set to see Incubus live for the third time! I have a few friends who share the same passion as I do so what better way to start the year than to fly all the way to Thailand for the Silverlake Music Festival where Incubus will be headlining.

February


The Pains of Being Pure at Heart was in town for a show at Hard Rock! Of course there is no way I'm gonna miss it! I dragged my friend Nicole which is also a big fan. Highlight of the night was talking to Connor (guitar sessionist / drummer for The Drums) backstage and not knowing what he was saying since I'm too stunned with what was happening at the moment.

March


Quinn Allman. 'Nuff said.

April


I decided to change my lifestyle in terms of food. I realized it was no longer an option to be unhealthy. I still eat junk but little to zero. I try not to deprive myself as well. I am still currently on this journey and I don't think it will ever end.

May


I feel honored to be part of this wonderful first. Music, great people, artists, and a guacamole truck. What more can you ask for?


First time in Tali Beach! I had a great time with some of my favorite people.

June


Pop Pop Pofest x Dr. Martens! The first ever Indie Popfest franchise in Manila! Met some incredible people in just one night. Can't wait for this year's!

July


2012 is really a year of 'firsts'. Another first, the first ever music video I directed! There were so much things I was not aware of and need to improve on.

August


We met our new friend Jake! Almost every weekend is jam and flip cup night at his place. Funfunfun! We also met his two friends Nick and Maroun. They're all back in the US of A. 

September


This is me and Bea struggling in the kiddie pool. Random hangouts with your best friend is the best. Simple joys...

October


Foster the what? Yeah.
(Oh and also, I officially left the teenager train)

November


The first Tagaytay Electronica Festival! So much EDM rave it's crazy!

December


Launched my very first collection entitled "Ghost Dream"
This year is indeed a year of firsts!
