Together with KC Concepcion and Ms. Joyce Bernal RV team/Team Kiko and volunteers went to severely affected areas to give relief goods to fellow Filipinos. A lot of them lost their homes and have no source of food and water.
Even if the storm has left the country, the damage it brought to our kababayans remains. Help us help them.

Let’s keep the BAYANIHAN SPIRIT ALIVE during this time of crisis.

*** HELP US GATHER MORE DONATIONS FOR THE VICTIMS OF ONDOY, THANKS! ***

The reform movement calling itself PiNOY POWER will stage an inaugural concert on September 21, 2009 at the theater of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. The concert promises ETONAPOTALAGA! — the arrival of a new leadership giving fresh hope. The title and event frankly resurrects the spirit of the Apo Hiking Society shows immediately prior to EDSA 1, which provided some of the rare spaces for anti-dictatorship groups to simultaneously express outrage, exuberance, and will to change in the mid 1980’s.

Welcoming and inciting another collosal change in the Philippine national life, PiNOY POWER presents a line-up of artists who can guarantee the high voltage experience that replicates the sentiment sweeping the country: an electric feeling of renewed optimism in political process.

Aside from the Apo, the concert will feature Aiza Seguerra, Bayang Barrios, Drae Ybañez, Duster, Isay Alvarez, Juana Change, Leah Navarro, Nicole & Carlo, Noel Cabangon, Paraluman, Philippine All Stars, and The Dawn. PiNOY POWER says the concert atmosphere will be charged, the artists will be spirited, and there will be magic in the air. Attending the event, they let on, is the man of the hour, Noynoy Aquino, who now carries forward their reinvigorated aspirations for emancipation from a corrupt, toxic political life.

PiNOY POWER is setting in motion a cutting-edge kind of organization. Like the concert, which asks no entrance fee for the General Admission Section beyond what the individual can donate in cash at the gate, PiNOY POWER will be inclusive, open to creative inputs from all Filipinos, and intent on having fun while waging a revolution.

That laughing, smiling, and very imaginative revolution begins when the gate opens at 5:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m.

The Balcony Seats Area is the only Reserved Section in the Theater for those that are giving a MINIMUM contribution of P2,500 per seat.   There are limited seats and as of now there are only about 120 seats left available (Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 4:59 AM).

Please email J J Soriano at  jjsoriano@project.com.ph and indicate your cellphone number if you intend to avail of the reserved seating so we can arrange to receive your payment and give your tickets.

MAG-YELLOW KA. GO!

(and the things that’s been keeping me very busy…)

1.   Work

I do freelance creative jobs. But it seems that my work for Senator Kiko Pangilinan has been consuming most my time since last July and I am actually enjoying the experience! It’s just Huge for me to be in the public service field. I love it here.

I still accept projects from Odesk from time to time. Good thing it’s not as demanding as before anymore when I was just starting. That can give me more time to actual work for Senator.

.. and these two major corporate aspects have been keeping me alive, hopefully until next year. PRAISE GOD, it’s just amazing how He got me here and still sustaining me.

2.   Family

I don’t want to hear my self asking ‘Why in the world did I not see it coming?’ when I get old and won’t have enough time to appreciate my family anymore. It just kind of frustrates me when my adjustment phase has to hit it.

3.   Ministry

Hopefully we’ll start creating a concrete & visible avenue again to worship God through dancing as a Dance Ministry in our local church this coming Sunday. God deserves our best in what we do best. This will be fun!

4.   Catch up with close friends

Setting up ‘dates’ with mah homies. hehe..

5.   Personal & God Time

I’ve started making appointments to myself, for myself hehe.. since I gotten busier than ever. Like I said, I don’t want to be caught up in the end.

So there. These are the stuffs I’ve been juggling with since I graduated last May. Crazy transition!

* just a quick bubble - My mom just had photos taken with Jack Nicholson & Steven Spielberg and other Hollywood stars yesterday!!!! (other hollywood stars, I mean, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jennifer Aniston, etc., I just realized I was more amazed by Jack & Steven hehe) Good timing for the Emmy Awards.    whoa.

I…. cannot… believe… I just got myself a .com! Weeee! Thanks to Kuya Gilbert Espiridion & Markdhel for the tech support!!!!!!!!!! and Yes! Welcome to the world of self-hosted sites for me!

Ok. I’ve been wanting to officially start posting here, but I’ve been too busy. Crazy schedule, crazier drive! I’ll make time for this. I promise! *excited*
