Partying for Jac

Australian partyphile, Jac Vidgen, moved to Manila and eventually became part our nightlife’s scene. I’d see him in a lot of fun events but we were never introduced. He’d always gladly pose for my camera though.

Early this year, while having a meal at the Corner Tree Cafe, we bump into him and I am finally introduced. This led to an invite to dinner in his Makati flat where I learned about his parties in Sydney. We became Facebook friends and his photographs impressed me.

A little over a week ago, we found out that he had died of what must have been a heart attack. Last night’s party in XX XX served as his wake.

A New Building, Judging for the Awit Awards, and Shooting a Rehearsal

June 5, 2018, a busy, very musical day. Was invited to judge the Awit Awards’ Best Music Video and Album Cover Art nominees, so I headed for Club Filipino at noon. There were no parking slots available in the street so I had to park in the new building that housed the new Unimart. This building sure interested my phone’s camera.

At Club Filipino, I was led to my computer monitor where I viewed six music videos. This year’s batch was excellent. I enjoyed all six and even gave perfect scores to two of them. The Lomi I ordered after was yummy, too.

Joey Ayala’s band had a rehearsal in his house so he asked me to shoot a few photos they could use for a little press publicity. I could not refuse. His new stuff rocks!

Suspended from posting on Facebook because I posted an art site’s link on Helmut Newton (which is more offensive to them than links on animal torture,) here I am trying to blog again. I’m just really so clueless about WordPress, so please bear with me.
