Symphony of Lights

To commemorate the "face-lift" of the Ayala Triangle park and to welcome the Christmas holidays, Ayala put up a light and music show inside the Ayala Triangle Gardens. This "symphony of lights" is similar to the one in Hong Kong, complete with Christmas tracks and a light show unique to the Philippines. Light designer Voltaire de Jesus and sound designer Jethro Joaquin came together to put on a wonderful show that makes every onlooker feel like a child again.

In time for the holidays, Ayala transformed the forest terrain of Ayala Triangle into a landscaped and walkable park. For this Christmas season, it boasts of a music and light show every weeknight from 6 to 7:30 pm.Unique metal sculptures scattered around the garden also add to the unique attraction that the park brings.

Aside from the light show, there are also scrap art and brass and iron sculptures around the park that serve as another attraction to the park-goers. The scrap art exhibit is by Ral Arrogante, in collaboration with Art Galleries Philippines; while the metal sculptures are by Castrillo-Hill.

Other attractions/perks of going to the ATG, as they call it, are Globe Tattoo's FREE WI-FI (it was pretty fast) and food concessionaires (Caramia-Amici's branded gelato and Big Chill).

Global Celebration

Spontaneously had dinner in SM Mall of Asia a few nights back. As rumored, the steel globe was supposedly transformed into one big LED display, but it was actually just individual LED lights, and of course, by day it's still a steel globe.

The huge steel globe in front of SM Mall of Asia transforms into a huge Christmas ball at night. This huge, round spectacle is a delight for both mall-goers and passers by.

The walkway was also adorned with a spectacle of Christmas lights, providing for a very festive SM Mall of Asia. =)

'Tis the Season of Love

Finally! Ever since the movie came out a few years back, I've always wanted to watch this rock musical live. Directed by no other than Robbie Guevarra, 9 Works Theatrical is bringing this hit production to Manila on V-day 2010!

For those who celebrate the season of love (pun intended), this is going to be one heck of a Valentine's date. =)

RENT will be staged at the Carlos P. Romulo Theater, RCBC Plaza on Feb. 14, 2010, 4:30 pm.
