Livin high and takin it easy

I missed Top Junk’s performance in Ten02 Bar last year during Roma’s birthday party so this was the first time I got to see them perform… and boy did I love them! They got themselves one more fan (so much so that we are going to see them perform this coming Saturday, Sept 3 at 70s Bistro. Flush and the Toilets are also playing so that’s one more reason to go!)

I have uploaded the videos of the Top Junk performances from Amrei’s 30th birthday celebration at Route 196 last Saturday videos on the youtube account that I had to make just so I can have a place to upload videos to and share them. I’m new to this video-taking/video-making (like I’m new to “fashion photography” or the semblance of it), so it took me a while to make the videos brighter on iMovie. I re-uploaded the videos. They are now brighter but they are less sharp (which makes me a wee bit sad). It took me at least 3 hours each to upload the videos. I already took down the previously uploaded original videos.

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!!

And I found this video on Youtube posted by My C.H.O.S.. Actually, I found it on Facebook, on Abet’s wall. Thanks Abet.
