Converse Inc. introduces its newest collaboration for their Spring 2016 collection with the legendary band, Sex Pistols. This new line marks an iconic imagery and artwork with their Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers.
Months ago, I promised myself that this blog is all about happy times, happy things. But I guess this one's going to be a super kick and totally different from my previous posts.
I am super in love with Magic's Rude. I remember him singing this song. I remember him telling me, "Marry that girl, marry her anyway". I've always believed that this person can really make do with his promises to me. Because, hey, my dreams are just so simple. I only needed someone who would love me for the rest of my life. Someone I could wander off, even to the space with. It doesn't matter if I'd be in Pluto, just as long as I'm with this guy. But I guess now that's finally over.
So why do you play with my heart, why do do do you?
When you know that I see right through through through you?
So if you don't love me the way I love you
And if you don't want me the way I want you
Then if you don't need me the way I need you
I just got one thing to say to you
Stupid you
I have played a lot of songs. And I stumbled with Magic!'s Stupid Me. Now I'm not so sure who went stupid this time. But you know, this blog was named Sugarsmile for a reason, and I'm going to continue to be happy. I'm going to continue to find my happiest ending. And maybe this time, I won't be so stupid to break my heart again. But that has to happen. Eventually.
So now, I'd continue wearing my heart on my sleeve, thank you very much.
Fat, Salt and Flame - that may sound like food but its the title of the new album by one of my favorite bands, Sandwich. Released by PolyEast Records, their new record for their 15th Anniversary was launched last April 12 at the Centris Walk, Eton Centris in Quezon City.
It was a fair Saturday afternoon and was hanging out with the boyfriend when I received a text from Az of http://azraelsmerryland.blogspot.com, if I would want to cover the Foster the People concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum that night. Too bad that I only know of one song, but I still said yes because concerts will always be my thing. Held last October 6, Foster the People Live in Manila was presented by Midas Promotions, Dayly Entertainment and Karpos Multimedia.
I arrived at the coliseum at 7PM and was seated at the Upper Box, though alone, I enjoyed my “me time” listening to their hits. Their first song was Miss You, and the crowd sang altogether with vocalist, Mark Foster. I loved how the band has so many fans and their glow sticks lighted the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The other members of the band are Mark Pontius for drums and Cubbie Fink playing the bass.

Their setlist includes Life On The Nickel, Houdini, Broken Jaw, I Would Do Anything For You, Waste, Love, Call It What You Want, Don’t Stop (Color On The Walls), Warrant and Helena Beat. When they left the stage, the people were asking for more, so they went back and sang Ruby and their most popular song (and the only one I know by heart), Pumped Up Kicks.

Most of the people around me are teenagers and students and they know the lyrics by heart. Good thing I didn’t feel out of place because the Araneta Coliseum is so cozy. Their extreme transformation in terms of their facility is wonderful especially for people who enjoy concerts like me. For someone as OC as me, I needed to feel comfortable when it comes to an event venue and they didn’t fail my expectations. I must say that I enjoyed watching the concert alone. And I am definitely crossing that out of my bucket list.
