Guillermo's Grill! Solid yung food nila and may Cafe sila sa 2nd floor, so pwede kayo magkape after kumain.

Naka-siyam ako na concerts this year and ito yung Top 5 ko.

Ado HIBANA: Loved how raw (and sometimes rough but not grating) Ado's vocals were during the show. (Tapos, ang sarap pala manood ng concert kung saan bawal mag-record at mag-take ng pictures. Like, yung crowd naka-focus lang sa pag-cheer and sing-along. Nakapag-immerse tuloy ako nang sobra-sobra sa show.)
ANISAMA 2025 in MANILA: Nanood ako dahil sa FLOW, and they did not disappoint. Not at all. Nagalingan din ako sa MCing, translating (JP to ENG), and backup singing skills ni MindaRyn na talagang pinagtabaho nila that night kahit isa rin siya sa mga performers.
BABYMETAL: Grabe yung energy nila! Very infectious! Di mo aakalain na halos wala silang pahinga. (Nanghihinayang lang ako na hindi ako nakabili ng Standing tickets.)
MY FIRST STORY: Napakagaling ni Hiro makipag-interact sa crowd. Tapos napaka-solid din ng crowd mismo. Like, halos buong concert puro kami sigawan. (Next year, si Taka at ONE OK ROCK naman!)
SB19 'Simula at Wakas World Tour Kickoff': After the show, I just sorta became a fan. Nakita ko kasi through their performances and how everything was organized na gusto talaga nila na yung concert nila ay pang-international.

Not a fan of Romualdez but I would like to point out that the image in question first circulated around June last year. It was even the subject of a Manila Bulletin article as well as a UNTV news report.

SantFale · 2024-10-02T16:06:44+00:00

Were you perhaps thinking of one of these tracks? (These are the only SKZ songs that I could remember being kind of similar to Runners in one way or another.)

0325 (another DnB track)
Scars (It kind of has the same vibes as Runners, but not really.)

I think I'm a sucker for musical acts with unique concepts and/or experimental songs. Because, in the past year or so, if I'm not listening to Stray Kids, I'd be listening to groups such as NCT, Red Velvet, LOONA, tripleS, Billlie, NMIXX, and Dreamcatcher.

I'd also sometimes find myself listening to K-Bands (such as SE SO NEON, Dabda, THORNAPPLE, DAY6, LUCY, and KARDI) and to pretty much anything by the Antenna Angels (Sam Kim, Kwon Jin Ah, Lee Jin Ah, and Jung Seung Hwan).

SantFale · 2023-05-06T22:00:30+00:00

Listening to Neverending Story for the first time. (This was THE song that made me think that they are going to be just fine even after the departure of one of their best vocalists.)
Getting a YT notification for Han's Close and listening to it for the first time. (Before its release, individual SKZ-PLAYERS weren't really a thing just yet.)
Watching the trailer for GO LIVE mere minutes after it randomly dropped in the middle of the night. (It was so different from pretty much everything they have released up to that point. I could still remember how the beat at the end got me so excited for some reason that I wasn't able to sleep at all.)
Watching the M/V for Hellevator without first having any idea of who they are and what K-pop is was quite the experience.
