I’m supposed to shoot PETA’s Sa Post Office tonight but it’s been rescheduled to Saturday morning. I might as well go out and chill out tonight, even for a little while, even only over dinner. I have not gone out to just simply sit around and chill in quite a while. I am looking forward to this night! And I will get my hands on Diwa’s CD too.

I first got introduced to Diwa online, on YM chat actually, by my friend Edwin Guillermo. I forget how long ago that was and most importantly, why. Last night for the very first time, I met Diwa and got to listen to his music.

Angku, Edwin, Diwa, Coy and Abet

I am actually embarrassed to say that I have never actually listened to his music though I am sure I’ve been hearing it a lot without my realizing it. After this performance last night at Amrei’s birthday party…

… I can now say, I am a fan. I love your music Diwa. Cheers to more music!!

Diwa is a composer, arranger and musician. He is currently promoting his new solo act, which focuses on the hegalong instrument combined with electronica and chill out music. Visit his site www.diwadeleon.com

Chill Out Hour with Diwa de Leon @ MAG:NET

Our very talented friend, The U.P. Repertory Company alumna and two-time chairperson, the person behind VitalStrats Creative Solutions and the lead vocals of Flush and the Toilets, celebrate her birthday today with music and friends at Route 196!

We have to admit that we’ve been looking forward to this for more than a month!

I have always been a Jewel fan right from the very beginning, though perhaps not at the middle, of her musical career. And I’d like to thank Red for sharing this via Twitter. I loved every bit of it! I read some of the posted comments and I have to agree that it was really touching. And, I wish I was there too! Well actually, I’d do lots (not everything) just to be able to watch Jewel perform live, no matter if its a karaoke bar or a big concert stadium or even an open field. Hahaha.

This is just one of those days when I needed music and music came to the rescue. Thanks Jewel and friends.

The Trapeze Swinger
Around the Well (2009)

Please, remember me happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin, the time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill
And up until someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range, a piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention

Music One in Greenbelt 3 had this corner for World Music and I remember going there (I have not been to Greenbelt in years..) and literally lusting after all those nicely-colored and beautifully-designed covers of their CDs and of course, wondering at what kind of amazing music it contains. The CDs were more expensive than the usual and I could not afford them.

One time I was walking mindlessly in Glorietta when I saw this little shop that had a CD clearance sale and lo and behold, they had some of the World Music CDs I have been lusting after! They were still at P250 each, if I remember correctly, so I only managed to buy four. Add that to the other CDs I bought for P150 each and that had me walking away from the little shop with about P1,500 worth of CDs.

I simply could not pass this up: Alternative Love Songs.

I was cleaning out my home office last night and I found the card inserts on the CDs lying around. It told me I could mail it in or visit the website – and of course, visit the website is what I did.

What an amazing website. I love, love, love the colors of course! And the usual beautiful designs. Even more so, I love the fact More

“Here Comes Your Man”
A remake of the song by the Pixies
Meaghan Smith
(500) Days of Summer OST

outside there’s a box car waiting
outside the family stew
out by the fire breathing
outside we wait ’til face turns blue
i know the nervous walking
i know the dirty beard hangs
out by the box car waiting
take me away to nowhere plains
there is a wait so long
here comes your man

big shake on the box car moving
big shake to the land that’s falling down
is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
a big, big stone fall and break my crown
there is a wait so long
you’ll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait so long
you’ll never wait so long
here comes your man
