As of Late: April 2019

April was a very productive month for me and the fam. We had a 9 day summer break and went to Taiwan to celebrate Le Unico Hijo's graduation and to spend time with Mama before she go back to Milan. After our fam trip, Potter Head son took 2 entrance exams and both passed. Of course, he chose his Dad's alma matter and everyone's excited for him. Highlight of the month: an earthquake hit Manila. Thankfully everyone's safe. Here's my entry for April:

I am still in awe that Le Unico Hijo has now graduated from 6th grade. Having a child at an early age (I was still a teen then) wasn't a walk in the park but looking back, I realized it has lots of pros than cons. Le husband and I are praying for baby #2 this year but honestly, we are still busy preparing for our son's transfer from Batangas to Cavite. Finally, Le Unico Hijo will move in with us as he enters 7th grade. Too much information, here's my entry this March.

Audiophile: Elements: UP Fair Wednesday 2019

Arts

On behalf of Pinoy Secret Files, Le husband and I went to UP Fair Elements 2019 to cover the event.

In case you don't know, UP Fair is a week-long event that features evening music concerts, booths, and amusement park rides. Organized by the UP Diliman University Student Council, this year's theme is Rak N Rally and was held at Sunken Garden.

This is our 2nd year as UP Fair's media partner and we really love attending UP Fair. Aside from various bands/artists, there are ample food, merchandise and games to choose from.

The highlight for me that night was when our friends from Tanya Markova played. They never fail to brighten up everyone's mood.

More photos to be posted soon, here's our shameless selfie.

This will be Pinoy Secret Files' second year of celebrating Red Ninja Year Ender. For those unfamiliar, Red Ninja Production has been in the local music scene since 2009 which started out as live events production group then later expanded as a management for artists, since then, Red Ninja Production tirelessly produced the best local live events.

Before the main event is always a pre-party.

Le Husband and I attended the pre-party last November 20 at 20:20 Bar, Makati. Red Ninja Production staff and artists reminisced their previous Year Ender events at B-Side, The Collective (which is now closed and will be developed into another business).

Red Ninja artists will be performing with other local acts and first time in history of Red Ninja Production, an international band will be joining the awesome lineup.

In attendance at the pre-party were media partners, sponsors and artists such as April Hernandez of Area25, Icoy Rapadas and Andrew Son of Lions & Acrobats, Naara Acueza and Juan Carlos Castaño of Leanne and Naara and Jiggerr Divina of Assembly Generals headed by Red Ninja Master herself, Nicole Sarmiento and hosted by Patty General.
