Hanging out at the Bar


Nuvo, bar and restaurant is one of the classiest night life places in town located in Greenbelt 2, Makati. On my way there I was expecting to do more food and establishment shoots. But when I arrived there about 2 hours before midnight, I never expected to walk into one of the high society’s anticipated party event as Nuvo celebrates its 5th anniversary last July 25 2007. The party dubbed as Nuvo Y5k sought to bring an atmosphere of nostalgia as it plays some feel good and vibe music of the nineties.

My vision of Manila has been limited to DVDs, Hidalgo, LRT, crowded streets and dark grievous corners where anything can happen.

The country may be in a “State of Emergency” but the music and the arts shall never stop expressing their sentiments on what is heppening right now in our country. The recent Arts and Music Festival for the 2nd day of the event were quite vocal on their perspective on what’s happening. In truth the media right now is under a leash, one wrong move and they could easiy be overtaken. It seems every week, a lot has been happening in our country, from the Ultra Stampede the first week, then there’s the Lanslide in Leyte, and now this State of Emergency. I hope PGMA is doing the right thing here and help more in the country’s situation.

Misa de gallo

Churches are very interesting structures. For the Filipinos, it serves as a milestone in our spanish history. I view them in level with how I view the interesting temples of our neighboring countries. One tradition that Filipinos hold dear, is the Misa de gallo or Simbang Gabi. It’s a mass held early in the morning which starts on the 16th of December and ends on the eve of Christmas. It was believed that when you complete the nine day morning mass you could make a wish and it will come true.
