Ever Been Swept Away?

Just the other week, we wrapped up the production of my second music video for my new single, Swept Away. Some of my friends and family were able to join me in the shoot, including my mom who also made an appearance, so it was a project that has been most fun. The entire video was shot in this alley in Manila, featuring real people, and real happenings. Check it out.

Below are pics of my friends and family who, luckily for me, were free that day to offer their services as actors/actresses in my music video! :) Watch out for the cutie in yellow! He's got places to go!

The one who looks like he's doing karate in this next picture is our kick-ass director! And the guy taking a photo in the back? Oh...some obsessed fan. (Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!)

Eeewww...my face looks really chubby there. But look at Jonna in this next shot! So masungit! Hehehe!

Here are some of the residents of that street in Manila. We asked them to do some of their normal, everyday activities for the shoot. Ofcourse in front of a camera, it's always a little more difficult. But they did such a great job anyway! I most especially loved the carpenter guy...You'll see what I mean when you watch the video. :)

The next photo was taken while we were previewing what we had shot for the day. I guess we're biased, but we liked it! :D I hope all of you out there like it too!

Well, the video is out now on MYX. It aired just last week and I was surprised to see it! I thought it wouldn't be out till February, but hey, the sooner the better for me. Please support it by voting for it as many times as you can everyday! Hehehe...You can do that by keying in MYX[space]VOTE[space]SWEPT AWAY and send it to 2366.

I know it's too soon to be talking about this, but I can't wait till my next music video. With that one, you all will finally be able to hear my own composition! My first two singles have been covers, but the third one will be my very own! So there's always something to look forward to...Oh and hey! I just want to say THANKS to Billie Princesa for providing us these pictures! Hahaha! She's an old schoolmate of mine, a singer-songwriter too, so be on the lookout for her. Hey Billie!!! (Yeah, you know I gotta give my props.) CHOMP! :D

Isn't It Time?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FANS! Wow…I never used the word “fans” before. But this is a new year so I’m going to start doing things I never used to do! Even though I missed the countdown and the new year greeted me with some bad news, I won’t let it get to me. I can’t be superstitious about that stuff. Happiness, success, and everything else that’s good is whatever you make it. So I’m taking 2008 in my hands and I’m making it mine.

With that, I’d like to invite you all to my new lineup of mall shows. This year we’re doing the rounds at Robinsons. So here’s the preliminary sked:

ROBINSONS MALL TOUR
JAN. 12 - Lipa
JAN. 13 - Metro East @ Cainta
JAN. 19 - Manila
FEB. 1 - Galleria @ Ortigas
FEB. 3 – Pampanga

This week I will be doing the music video for my second single, Swept Away. I’m really excited about it, but ofcourse I’m not going to give anything away. So just watch out for that!!!

Before I go, I just want to take this moment to say…I hope you all enjoyed your holiday celebrations. And if your New Year’s Day wasn’t all that great, it does not mean the rest of the year will be like that. We all have the choice to make our situation better than it was a minute ago. So make 2008 yours too! :D
