I will remember YouTube’s anniversary date for their official launch in the Philippines because it is the same day as my birthday! YouTube can throw a hellovapartey!!! We were all entertained by live performances of MoyMoy Palaboy, Greyhoundz and Rivermaya.  Also, they showed a video about international artists congratulating YouTube for its opening here in [...]

A friend told me my blog is getting boring… No offense taken.  He’s actually right. So here’s a little bit of crazy to break that cycle.     Are you guys awesome? Hope you all are coz you’re awesome when you leave a comment below!!!   Love you gaiz you rock!!! Hannah Banana Tralala

They didn’t call Bacolod the “City of Smiles” for nothing! The Masskara Festival started in the early 80s.  That was a time for crisis in the city with a sunken ship and the sugarcane crisis.  It was bad times for the people of Bacolod.  The artists and the government worked to hold a Festival in [...]

A lot of people ask me what to expect when they watch the Singpaore Grand Prix.  I often say, “It’s Louder Than Life” The people who go here are not necessarily motorsports enthusiasts but they are people who don’t want to miss out on all the fun that the Grand Prix Season Singapore has to [...]

It’s finally September! Ghost month is over and the fun starts again! Up to now, I’m still unsure whether or not I will get to witness yet another live Formula 1 Grand Prix Season Singapore experience. But if I do, there’s one girl I definitely would love to see perform live! Shakira, Shakira! Last year, [...]

Girls just wanna have fun and happiness! Don’t we all want that ladies? It’s just like upstart rock band, General Luna, and the R&B Princess of the Philippines – Kyla!  We’ve witnessed R&B + Rock with Sponge Cola and Jay R and it was the BOMB! How would it sound like when two genres are [...]

Hey music lovers! Last week I shared more about a Rock + Rnb Mash-up and how two local artists Sponge Cola and Jay R made it happen.  In my last blog, I shared with you how they felt making a whole new music from combining two of their songs! That was just the tip of [...]

I wasn’t really exposed to a lot of plays when I was a kid, but Andrew Lloyd Webber’s songs from his play are really famous.  Since I have been interested with theatre lately, I decided to catch up on what I missed and watched his show here in Manila. It’s a summary of all his [...]

Rock on guys! We have witnessed the mash-up of Shock Pop and Rap with Gloc-9 and Tanya Markova.  We have seen Yeng and Pedicab combine a love song and disco rock, I guess now it’s time to mix Rock and RnB into one song! Before anything else, just a briefer you guys… This is of [...]

Hello music lovers! I constantly blog about songs and their meaning and how it affects me.  It’s about time I share something about our very own local music with Yeng Constantino and Pedicab.  They just did a super cool awesome mash-up together of both their songs “Jeepney Love Story” by Yeng “FX” by Pedicab.  Oh [...]

Girl Power at its best! In the heavily male dominated DJ market, it is rare to find a female DJ who can create a huge impact on the scene in a short amount of time. Miss Nine has not only been able to outshine and make her presence known in such a world, but she [...]

was reading the news over at pep.ph (shout out to the Karen! and OH EM GEE!!! He is coming over to Manila!  I am like a die hard fan of him – the boy you love to hate on Gossip Girl! I have been a fan of him since The Filthy Youth (his band) oh [...]

What happens when you combine Jeepney and FX?  Are they going to crash and hit each other? Well, you will be surprised! On the next Coca-Cola music studio mash-up you would get to witness Yeng Constantino and Pedicab on a mash-up together!  Combining Yeng’s song “Love story sa Jeepney” and Pedicab’s “FX” There’s too much [...]

What makes music more interesting? It’s when two artists come together to do a Mash-up!  A mash-up combines two songs in one! Coca-Cola has partnered with Myx and 8 local artists to give you something a more interesting music that you will exclusively find only at the Coca-Cola Music Studio!  They launched the Coca-Cola music [...]

Music makes me happy and it is definitely a big part of our lives as I myself can’t imagine a day without music! Even when I’m down, I would always find comfort in music.  When I’m happy, I’d love to dance with it!  And when I’m hyper – I sing to it!  You will often [...]

I can say I’m a late bloomer.  I mean, I could have done all these things earlier – dancing, makeup, fashion and sewing!  But instead, I took a route to the corporate world first.  Not that I regretted ever studying Accounting and working for a corporation… I think all of that was meant to be [...]

On a random day, I usually listen to some random music on some random radio station. If I like it, I take note of the lyrics and Google the title and find it on YouTube. On another random day, I found myself in my hometown – Bacolod. I’m back in Manila and I thought that [...]

Christina Aguilera won a lot of awards in the music industry and is really known for her powerful voice.  She is only human though and in the recent Super Bowl 2011, she scrambled the lyrics of the National Anthem of America. For non-American citizens, you wouldn’t notice the faulty lyrics because her performance was really [...]

I am not really into guys bumpin’ each other trying to steal the ball of another but the longer I watch the NFL games, the more interesting they get and the more I get hooked watching it.  American football isn’t that popular here in the Philippines.  Soccer is getting a little bit more attention due [...]

What’s up interwebosphere? So, I was walking around Manila Polo Club yesterday night and I felt the cool night breeze that you will only feel around this time of the year.  To me, it was the perfect weather!  I heard some reggae music and I had the weirdest adrenalin rush! ^_^ If you don’t know [...]

So guys, let me ask you a question… How do you measure life?  I watched Rent The Movie first than seeing the theatrical play live and I can now say that watching it live is definitely way much better!  I watched RENT live for the first time last December 2010.  I was very happy to [...]

I have been a HUGE fan of Duft Punk ever since “Digital Love.”  They are unique in their field of music and Digital / Electronic music is really their signature.  If only I can invite them to Tek Tok TV (Tech Talk) and have them talk about their digital music. *pinches self* By the way, [...]

I’m not sure if you have noticed, but for a just a while (just lately), my life seemed to be on “pause”.  Sometimes, when you’re overwhelmed with all the things that are happening around you, you get lost and confused.  Then you stop and think. Some might call this “quarter-life crisis” and that is exactly [...]

RENT the musical is back in Manila!  Do check out the poster and details about the RENT musical below.  This musical is brought back just in time to promote awareness today of this very deadly disease rising in our society today – AIDS, just in time to celebrate International World AIDS day this month. RENT [...]

I was walking around the residential streets of Hong Kong last Thursday late at night.  It’s usually my thing.  I love walking around a new place, be curious, observe people and the streets and try to submerge myself into their culture.  I just appreciate the cool breeze in Hong Kong around winter time.  Our hotel [...]

April Boy Regino, the “idol” of the people, made his name immortal in the Filipino music industry with his trademark lyrical dance moves.  He went MIA for a while, but now, he’s back with a new single with son JC Regino.  The song “Di Nako Iibig Pang Muli” has been on the top list of [...]

Glee is off the hook man!  I am not really a follower of GLEE.  I am not a GLEEk.  I don’t even know the name of this Cheerios on GLEE but they just did a good job covering Britney Spears’ songs!  I don’t watch GLEE but I watch their covers on YouTube and I am [...]

First of all, I would like to say thanks to the friends who helped me win the Rev and Rave contest: Mica, Jehz, Ada, Kristel, Angela, Stephen and of course Vince You guys rock!!! Also thanking Singapore Airlines, Singapore Tourism Board and Stratworks and all the Rev and Rave partners for making this all possible [...]

The era of the Boy Bands are long gone.  It’s now Bieber’s turf lol. But, I must say, I miss them.  When I listen to some of their songs now, it’s just too corny for me.  But I can’t deny the fact that they once drove me gaga.  Let’s start with the Backstreet boys Then [...]

I have been a fan of Chris Brown ever since I saw his first video “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” video.  Until now, I am not tired of that song!  I also watched his concert with Rihanna even if it meant I had to super save for the expensive tickets! I was saddened by what he [...]

June 21, before the clock struck 12, my mood was set for some acoustic sound trip.  I browsed through my iPod and noticed that my playlist is so outdated! I decided to get new songs, and update… But what?  I was so clueless on what to listen to. Here’s the thing, sometimes, I like the [...]

Here you go guys… All videos are here!!! Find yourselves It was the BOMB!  Worth the money to see these top international artists in one stage!

Thanks to Divant Media for inviting us bloggers to a very special dinner at Spiral, Sofitel with Jared and Nicky T of VFactory.  These guys are all over the U.S. and you’ve seen some of them in the movies High School Musical and Fame. They are really cool guys and very pleasant to still meet [...]

Back when I was in my third year in high school (I was 14), I got addicted to the world of K-Pop and J-Pop! There was no internet at my house yet at that time.  All I had for entertainment are those installed Microsoft games on my computer and Cable TV.  That was when I [...]

From the 22nd of April to the 24th of the year 2010, Nestea held the Nestea Fit Camp Hot in Boracay were they sent athletes and their teams to the summer island capital – Boracay.  Also, 10 finalists of the Nestea Fit Camp Hotties were flown to Boracay to conclude their final judgment with  one [...]

Even at night, Nestea’s stations glow with fun people, great music, good vibes and a refreshing party! For day 1, the Nestea Party was held at one of my favorite party places in Boracay – Summer Place.  The event was graced by Karylle and the Nestea Fit Camp Hotties as well as some athletes for [...]

If American Idol were a flavor, what would it be? If you could taste American Idol, what taste would it be? A PIZZA!!! Wouldn’t it be perfect to munch on some yummy pizza while watching the American Idol? I just tasted this new American Idol Overload Pizza and boy it is just a perfect match [...]

I must say… It’s “Destiny” It’s Destiny that brought me to this gnarly music discovery! I find myself often in search for rare lovable music! One day, at the Fort, I went to the Press Conference of International Skateboarders.  I surf and I do long board skateboarding.  I don’t think I have the balls to [...]

*faints* I think there’s a new trend in the music videos lately, I’ve noticed the longer videos.  Like up to 10 minutes worth of music… Have you watched Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce’s ‘Telephone’ video?  It was 9 minutes long. Black-Eyed Peas also just released their music video Imma Be.  It’s 10 minutes long… T__T BUT!!! [...]

Thanks Blogbank for the tickets! We actually came late as we attended this event first for the Earth Hour.  I was happy when I knew they delayed the start of the concert because they observed Earth Hour from 8:30 – 9:30.  I was happy not only because they sort of ‘waited’ for us lol, but [...]

Thanks to Divan Media Group for organizing this very intimate chat with Jojo and inviting us over!  Watch out soon for the exclusive interview as Vince Golangco asks the craziest questions to Jojo… and hear Jojo’s humble replies ^_^ Anyway, Jojo is very pleasant and I love her more than ever! Tonight, I will be [...]

Let me think… All day, I was pretty hectic!  I don’t know how time just flew in so fast when you’re doing a lot of stuff… I’m doing mostly online stuff and the next thing I know, it’s night already!!! Rockeoke time again! This time it’s with the Nuffies from Manila, Signapore and Malaysia!  Yes, [...]

I am watching the concert!!! Yaye!!! I don’t dare want to miss Timbaland – his songs are like my club favorites and I always go to the spinner and request this song.  And JT! I think some people would go just for Justin Timberlake… I love Jojo too!!! So, it’s a triple treat and I [...]

Music is food for the soul. And if you’re trying to veer away from junk food, then it’s time you listened to Rendezvous for a healthy and filling audio treat.

After the Playboy Lounge party, we headed straight to sober up at the pre-Valentines event that featured a back-to-back performance of the Queen of Bossa Nova and the Queen of Acoustic Pop.  Thank you so much Mica for inviting us to be with you.  It’s actually not the kind of music of Vince lol, but [...]

Ola! Here’s the music video I’ve been telling you about! Chris Masami is a rising artist! He’s like Philippine’s very own John Mayer with his sexy voice. Hit play to get to know more about this half Japanese – half Filipino artist!

I know right! My grade school and high school life flashed before me! Since I will be out of job soon , I will have more time to do what I love to do best – DANCING! I am born a dancer! and I love music! If you deprive me of these two I’d die! [...]

I was scrolling my list of youtube favorite videos and I encountered this music video again. Ten Years ago I was SO obsessed with Korean music that I learned how to read Korean and speak a little of it. I also learned how to RAP in Korean… but I deleted that video in youtube because [...]

It was a weekend like no other and my theme song is: My friend has been looking for this song for TWO weeks because he heard this playing either at Embassy or some place else. He was like asking his friends if they know this song and all the lyrics he had was **TEN TEN-TEN [...]

I would have wanted to post a video blog for this but my internet’s bandwidth is as slow as a snail sleepwalking because I’m only using my mobile’s GPRS!

The Candy attempts to sing to tire her nerves at 3am in the morning coz she has the insomnia attack… Or is it just a lame excuse for her to sing? … AND check out ReVibe’s comment on this video.

Bob Marley’s song “No Woman No Cry” has brought confusion to the listeners.

I have always thought that “No Woman No Cry” is an if-then statement.

[IF] there’s no woman, [THEN] There’s no cry… and I was like… I don’t dig this song so much! It’s like erm, Bob wants no woman?

Sharing to my readers my music discovery… Open your ears to some Swedish Music!  In the Philippines, foreign songs from US, UK, Mexico, France, Japan, China, Taiwan and Korea have been becoming recognized.  I have not heard of any Swedish songs on the radio though. Listen to the Swedish beat, this song is one of my [...]

The one, the sun, the one for me

Sun never seems to shine that day
‘Coz you are not here
Sun never seems to light my way
and at night, it kills
You are the one for me
The one as strong as the sun
The one who’ll light up my life
You are the one for me

It’s raining these days and I can’t help but agree with the writerxcharacter… There’s just something about the rain (Iba talaga pag umuulan)…  JJ, my future mandarin teacher also introduced me to the Japanese kiss the rain… I cried… lovely song nia… thanks! What’s the song to listen when it’s raining… 1. Kiss the rain [...]

Summer’s up and reggae is the beat! I just heard “Baby I love your way” in the radio as they promote this particular album. Radio advertising could be really effective coz it grabbed my attention lol! It has 17 renditions of the all-time favorites! Reggae-fied versions of pop songs on the album in sequential order [...]

I attended this Charity concert at Fiama last January 4, 2008. It was a Benefit Concert for the Philippine National Red Cross — a “Red Letter Night” event. Then one of the performers was The Out of Body Special! Then I thought at first they were a reggae band because they had to set up [...]

I am no longer surprised at these two.  I watched their concert in Manila last November because I adore both of them and I admire their relationship and I thought they were perfect for each other.  They might still be perfect for each other right now but they’ve been creating scandal after scandal. I was [...]

Cut the crap Hannah and just post something random… I know you need it… (talking to myself again) Which is so not a good sign, coz this is a symptom of me being my half-autistic self again… z` Then my phone’s text message alert played… Then it’s a good LSS I could carry with me [...]
