A Glimpse of …

ONE CDO is a Cagayan de Oro-based network of outdoor groups, environmental organizations, artists, musicians and individuals, organized last Dec.17, 2011 for the purpose of aiding hundreds of victims who have suffered the recent tragedy of Typhoon Sendong, which recently hit Cagayan de Oro City last December 16, 2011. ONE CDO is also a campaign to call for unity, harmony and action especially among the youth who desire to help but don’t have the support group to do so. ONE CDO hopes to provide this opportunity for volunteerism and ability to share.

Here is the ONE CDO Campaign Video about what has happened, why it has happened, and what we can do about it… A video of hope for everyone. Please take time to watch and listen to it.

“…then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power! Let us all unite! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth the future and old age a security…”

Trying to understand fashion trends is difficult enough for a whole lot of people. Following them is even more. There are a lot of factors when it comes to it, will the look fit you, and does it look good with plus sized women, where to find them and some more. You can experiment all you want though, whatever fits for you and whatever feels comfortable is the way to go.

The red carpet fashion, or the mainstream fashion, is without a doubt THE bahws! But here is something that has caught my attention ever since, the look I kind of like the most, and that is street fashion.

From what I know there are a few categories under this, they are:

1. the hippie look – a mix of denim, T-shirts, long hair, flower power and psychedelic imagery, flared trousers
2. teddy boys – drape jackets, drainpipe trousers, crepe shoes
3. hip hop fashion – 501 Levis, ECKO, South Pole, Avirex, Sean Jean, NIKE
4. punk fashion – ripped clothing, safety pins, bondage, provocative T-shirt slogans, Mohican hairstyle
5. gothic fashion – black clothing, heavy coats, poet shirts, big boots, makeup
6. skinheads – short-cropped hair, fitted jeans, Ben Sherman button-up shirts, Fred Perry polo shirts, Harrington jackets, Dr. Martens boots

Among the street fashion stated above, I have had my eye on the hippie look which I have been trying to mix and match with ever since, but never really had that much time to shop around for or really look into hippie clothes and its how-to’s. I love its flower power theme, the colourful designs, and the “natural” look as I was told way back. Hippie skirts, denims, leathers, and even just wearing your hair down makes the look – look good. You can wear it casually or even tweak it to look formal. Hippie clothes are my kind of look.

Almost Satellite is a Filipino post-rock-alternative band from Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. The band emerged in October of 2008, as K9, where they showed off their talents and made it to the finals of a regional rock band contest held in Cagayan de Oro that year – Red Horse Muziklaban. Restless from Cagayan de Oro to Bukidnon for the eliminations, to the semi-finals in Butuan, and the finals in Marikina City – they paved their own way instead of  just walking down main street looking to catch a big break.

It was 2009 when they started to write their own songs. Some of the songs were based on some of their personal lives and their experiences as a group and each song they release to the public, never fails to be a hit thus creating many more opportunities for themselves like mainstream media features and guesting.

They decided to change their name as Almost Satellite, last 2010, in accordance with their current band genre and existing band members. Ever since then, in every event they get to perform in, they have been known in doing a great job in bringing the house down.

Their music is labeled as post-rock-alternative – a sub-genre of rock music. Characterized by the influence and use of instruments associated with guitar rhythms as melodic and textures, with post drum and bass style, and high vocal pitch and scream.

Almost Satellite’s current line-up consists of Tyrone Encabo (vocals), Bam Roa (guitar), Tatski Lagrosas (bass), Jopax Arendain (guitar), and Jedi Dela Cruz (drums).

November 2011, they finished recording their debut album “The Final Cut” with 8 original singles and 2 music videos of their current hit tracks – “As You Sleep” and “Sleepless Streets”.

Witness as they take the stage and launch their first album, “The Final Cut”, on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at Punchbowl-Karomata together with the best Cagayan de Oro and Iligan indie bands. Show starts 8pm.

John Lloyd Cruz celebrated his 5 years with Biogesic with the Kagay-anons at the Atrium of Limketkai Mall for his fans day event here in Cagayan de Oro!

Photo by: Mr. Jerry Suello

December 3, 2011 was the day I got the chance to meet, for the first time, multi award-winning Filipino actor, hailed “Box-Office King” (2007-2008), a model, and occasional TV host, Mr. ‘Ingat’ himself, John Lloyd Cruz!

Photo by: Mr. Jerry Suello

Prior to meeting his fans at the Atrium of Limketkai Mall, the actor had a lunch press conference with the members of the Cagayan de Oro media at Marco Hotel where I and 4 other CDOBloggers members were given the chance to meet and greet him.

I was given the chance to ask him a question and this was my question: “This coming 2012, what are the 5 things or people na gusto mong pag-Ingatan?“ His first answer was his Job, as for the next four…check out the video below:

Video from Mindanaoan

Nikki Godino of the Biogesic team said they already had a series of fans day in several areas of the country, particularly Cebu, Davao, and Bacolod. She said that they made it a point to consider Cagayan de Oro as their last stop since John Lloyd and Biogesic have many loyal fans here.

John Lloyd encouraged everyone to use Biogesic as it is very safe and effective. He also said that Biogesic has been an essential part of his successful career life for five years now. He suggests to keep at least one or a few with you anywhere you go, because no one knows when a headache would strike. When one has no headache, one would be more effective at work.

John Lloyd had also listed five things for 2012:
1) looking forward to another year with Biogesic
2) wants to have a movie with Angel Locsin
3) wants to work in television thru a teleserye
4) looking for more time to travel
5) hopes to come back in Cagayan de Oro. (ain’t that sweet?)

Here are some photos from the fans day that took place at the Atrium of Limketkai Mall:

some of the fans who waited patiently for him to arrive.
