Coca Cola's Taste the Feeling Festival: Alden Richards, Spongecola and Many More!

Went to the Coca-Cola Taste the Feeling Festival and I had a blast!!! I kinda knew that there will be lots of people since it's a free concert and Alden Richards is in their line-up, but I didn't expect the crowd to be that big. I thought I would never get inside the venue! Haha. I got there at around 6pm and I had a hard time looking for the media reg area due to the mass of people blocking the entrances (they had to stop letting people in coz it was too crowded na inside) and I couldn't get through. They had to call for a bouncer to escort me in and I could feel the people in line death staring me. Sorry na po magcocover lang. Hehe. Anyway, once inside, I immediately met up with Ana and then we proceeded backstage (courtesy of Tracy & Spongecola! Thank yeww). Stories and photos below...

Castaway Music Festival Photo Diary

While everyone's in Boracay last Labor Day, di rin naman ako nagpahuli! Even if I'm swamped with work, I was still able to go on a mini getaway together with some blogger loves and their partners in Pampanga c/o Roxy, DC & Quiksilver! We were invited to the super cool Castaway Music Fest in SM Pampanga. :) It was a unique experience where the music was purely OPM and there were skateboarding exhibitions. So much chill, relaxing and fun. It feels like asa beach na din kami! Hihi. Here are photos!

Roxy knit top, Bazaar shorts, Oxygen bag, Meister watch, Converse sneakers

It was super hot that day so kahit sweet hubadera ng Cubao (in Kelly Medina's words hahaha) na my peg, had to change into their provided tanktop. But, I love my new knit top from Roxy!:) More photos!

 The Castaway crew! Me, Nico, Seph, Trice, Arnie, Joed. Wearing our chosen Roxy, DC and Quiksilver pieces:)

 The Roxy truck! We were able to buy some clothes at super sale prices and hang out at the roof deck. So cool!

 Nico was able to buy a DC shirt for only P500 and a Quiksilver board shorts for P700 (from P3k+)! Such a steal!

 Skater boys doing their thing!:)

 View from the top!

 Hello to my loves Ean!:)

 i just had to post this. Thanks Seph ha. May moment na sana eh! Hahaha. 

 The champions doing exhibitions! I was floored. Bilang nagfefeeling amateur ako sa sports na ito haha. 

Group pic!:)

We had access to the VIP area but we chose to stay at the Roxy tent! Spent the day trying to skateboard and long board and also watch the pros do it. Plus, we had world class performers as our background music! It was a pleasure listening to Up Dharma, Franco, Kjwan, Browman Revival, Save Me Hollywood, She's Only Sixteen, etc. Kaaliw. :)

 Refreshment from Fruitas! Hello K!:) Hihi.

With the youngest skateboarding champion Leon Velasco! Oha.:) Nainspire ako lalo to learn more skateboarding tricks. Umpisahan ko muna sa pagpedal pedal haha. At least I can now mount, balance and dismount! Yeees.

Thanks for this one of a kind experience Primer! Thanks Ean for taking care of us:) Love you guys, you know that!:)

The Concert of a Lifetime: 7107 Music Festival Experience & Photodiary!

Amidst a string of controversies, 7107 fulfilled & delivered THE concert of a lifetime much to the delight of all music lovers who were lucky enough to witness this phenomenal event. I was there at Global Gateway Clark, Pampanga last Feb. 23! I witnessed how amazing the lineup was (I didn't know the other performers but I still rocked to their songs anyway haha) and how organized and well thought of and executed their logistics and production. They were also able to follow their schedule, which seldom happens to other concerts. There were enough portalets, food stalls, on site activities, merch stalls selling memorabilias. Best part? Red Hot Chili Peppers played a 90-minute set! So much nostalgia, so much feels. Haha. So hats off to the organizers who did an amazing job!!! 

I came the 2nd day na coz of work but it I still had an amazing time! Many people complained about the ticket prices but I swear, with the lineup and everything, it was more than  worth it. Red Hot palang bawi na!:) Anyway, here are photos from the epic event...

 our soccer player friends. haha!

Awesome set! Check my instagram for her video!

 

Para sa mga in love and broken hearted hehe

 Ronnie Winter brought his Pinay GF onstage to sing Guardian Angel with him:) She reminds me of Alyssa Lapid. So pretty!

Kendrick Lamar who definitely didn't kill our vibe! He rocked it!:)  Lakas makabagets! Haha

 And then came Empire of the Sun! Everyone danced to their songs! So trippy, I love it. Haha.

Love their set and costumes!

 Happy campers!

 The place went wild when Red Hot Chili Peppers came onstage!!! Walang artista or conyo conyo dito, lahat faney!:)

90 minutes of pure awesomeness. Amazing set, graphics, performance. Dito palang sulit na the ticket! Been listening to them since I was in HS so it was pretty nostalgic. They pretty much sang all their hits. Sarah wanted to cry. Hihi hi babe.

Concert ended at around 1am and it it ended with a big bang! A 5-10 minute fireworks display perfectly concluded the epic 2-day music festival.  It was beautiful. :)

 I still feel bad I wasn't able to see Kaskade! Oh well, next time:)

Congratulations and thank you 7107 for one of the best days of my life. I cannot wait for #weare7107 2015! Coldplay, 30 Seconds to Mars, Imagine Dragons naman maybe?:)
