The Thrilla returns to Manila (and Hong Kong)

So the last week in Manila was spent visiting my Grandfather and family in San Juan. We frequented many of the malls that pepper the city, in their sizable glory. I managed to secure two gigs in Manila. One was a house gig at the well known it-club called Fiama. Needless to say, I was not sure that they appreciated my brand of soulful house music.
The second gig was at a club called Warehouse, where I played dnb on a sunday night to a handful of Dj's. Fun, and relaxing. My friend Chuppy was kind enough to take me to some other places to chill, and I also got to see a few of my old classmates randomly at a birthday house party. Random, and fun.

One notable occasion was my friend Benjo's soulful house event, where he played soulful house music all night. Apparently after his bout with Cancer (and pulling out of it successfully), he has found God within himself, and his major outlet of that joy was through House music. Props.

My last nights in Hong Kong were spent with my badass cousin Arthur, and his wonderful friends. We saw some awesome bands, drank some awesome jager bombs, and made some awesome memories.

Arthur, if you read this blog, please let me know what those two Filipino bands were that we saw at Amazonia, so I can commit them to memory.

Things of note:

Tetleys Beer (sick)
Curry in a Hurry
Wan Chai (Hong Kong's red light district, and also a great place to see some local bands)


I am back in the States now, in my cubefarm station, wishing myself out of here already. What a lovely trip. Thank you mom for bringing me back to the homeland. I got to see my family and old friends, once again. I recommend travel to any of you that feel that your life is becoming stagnent, for perspective is a beautiful thing that everyone needs to obtain occasionally.

If I remember, I will post some video footage of the trip as well, as I've used my camera on my phone to capture some awesome moments.
