What if you were tasked to take over MMDA and make a new urban plan? What will you do? What will you change? Be creative! be innovative! It can be simple to grand / utopian plan… or serious to fun-unrealistic one… grab your camera and roam the city and see what you can do…

I’ve never experienced the month of December THIS busy. (Busy partying that is)
But I’m not complaining because I’m enjoying everything about it.
Will be back to regular programming come January 2009. In the mean time, let me share photos from our company Christmas Party with a 70s Rockstar theme held at Capones, A Venue.
The year 2008 was great. But 2009 will be even better!
Happy New Year to everybody! MMMMWAH!

Content grabbed from Pinoy Centric.
Artist Daniel “Palma” Tayona lives in a very interesting neighborhood full of characters whose life stories are more engaging than those you see on television, and Tayona has front-row seats to the drama of their lives. From his third-floor window, Tayona watches the comings and goings-on of a bustling neighborhood that never sleeps and brings them to life on paper (he also writes about them in his blog Visual Viscera).
They’re immortalized in pen and ink– Elsa the cat lady, the Dog Lady, Aling Emily the meat vendor–as well as other characters in his life who are dear to him: his playful nephews, a friend who has gone through so much hardship, and his own mother.
They’ll be shown this Saturday, December 20, 7:30 p.m., as part of the exhibit, “Pen & Ink: An Exhibition of Images” at the Green Halo Cafe at Cubao X. Do drop by and stay awhile and prepare to be regaled by the artist’s storytelling.

They say that their music sounds like a dog getting a root canal. I’m not really sure what that means but when asked about their music, Deo, their chief songwriter has this to say:
“A lot of musicians come out trying to be different, to stand out from other musicians, I am not one of those musicians. The music that I make is the result of the emotions and experiences that I felt when I made the songs. Sometimes it may sound original, sometimes it may sound like someone else… it doesn’t matter to me. I am merely trying to express myself.”
(Taken from crudeozmusic)
What’s with the name?
According to Paolo, the band’s drummer, we chose the name Oz because we believe that the process of making a song is kinda like magic. Parang dumadating lang yun eh. Magic. Tapos we added the Crude in the beginning since we are all amateurs sa music. Crude pa, hindi pa pulido but we don’t see this as a negative. We’re kinda trying to say that this is music in it’s simplest purest form.
Why Straightjacket?
Lenin, the band’s bassist has this to say: Pinili namin yung title na Straightjacket kasi yung karamihan ng mga kanta ay parang galing sa isang taong nababaliw na dahil sa mga karanasan nya. Syempre lahat nung mga nababaliw eh kadalasan nakastraghtjacket di ba. Isa pang dahilan ay dahil matagal nang naipun ang mga kantang ‘to. Parang lahat nung damdamin, gigil na gigil nang makawala, so parang pag binuksan nyo yung cd at pinakinggan mo yung mga kanta, pinakawalan mo na rin kami sa wakas sa aming straghtjacket.
Free Music
We don’t plan to sell our CD’s (the demo and the full length album). It’s our answer to piracy I guess. You can’t pirate something that’s free. Aside from that, I don’t think that anyone would buy our CD anyway so we’re just giving it away for free via our CD or via download through our site (crudeozmusic.multiply.com).
Where can we get a copy of your songs?
You can download the songs at: http://www.soundclick.com/crudeozmusic. You could also visit us at crudeozmusic.multiply.com.

Random photos from last week’s Yard Sale 3.. Went there to support WeeWillDoodle friends and see Status Magazine’s Art Director, Revolution in the flesh. I have this engaging fascination with his event photos and layouts. I have someone new to look up to. Nuks.
First time to attend the Yard Sale. Silly me, I thought it was actually gonna be on a yard, as in outdoor! So I went there in the most outlandish pambahay-pangalis shirt and shorts. Lo and behold sa loob pala ng Embassy Fly. Tumbling. Was so relieved I got in even with just slippers on. LOL

Nice to finally met you, Rev! Hope we could collab in the future. Apir!

Random photos from last October’s opening of the A Shop, the first official Apple store in the country which was designed by Apple Singapore. But honestly, I like the Power Mac Center in Greenbelt interior better so I didn’t bother taking photos of the store.
