WHEN: TYPHOON HAIYAN/ YOLANDA BENEFIT CONCERTS/ GIGS

It's almost two weeks since the dreadful category 5 typhoon Haiyan/ Yolanda hit the country, most especially in the Visayas area. Because of the huge effect it brought the different provinces, we are now also in need of huge relief efforts and donations to help their community start again.

This is probably the best time to incorporate fame and talent with charity, and our different artists seem to agree that through music, we can all be united. If you want to help and donate while still being able to enjoy and listen to great music, you might wanna check the upcoming benefit concerts/ gigs here and abroad that are lined up as aid for the survivors of typhoon Yolanda:

WHO / WHAT: PAROKYA NI EDGAR HITS TWO DECADES / 20 REASONS WHY WE LOVE PAROKYA NI EDGAR

Is it even necessary to say that I am a fan of this 20-year old band who managed to continuously mash-up music with comic relief? Yes Parokya ni Edgar is two decades old, and for a band who has a fanbase of 3.5M on their facebook's like page alone, does it even surprise you?

For their 20th anniversary, Gloc 9 and Frank Magalona joins Parokya ni Edgar for the single "Ang Parokya" as part of the three-disk album "Bente" to be released on Nov.29. 

"Yan ang Parokya kahit na hindi magaling, kami ang bandang hindi nila kayang patayin..." - this is the first line you'll hear from the new song's chorus and I have here my own 20 simple reasons why (insert annoying conyo tone) "Parokya is really magaling!"

HOW: LISTEN TO HUNGER GAMES CATCHING FIRE SOUNDTRACK AND WIN FREE MOVIE TICKETS

Tribes! Are you as thrilled as I am for the second instalment of Hunger Games - the Hunger Games: Catching Fire? I remembered my excitement upon seeing the trailer months ago. I'm not sure though if I would have the same height of interest with the movie if Jennifer Lawrence didn't play Katniss Everdeen, she just charmed me too much.

Along with the successful movie is the equally strong soundtrack, mind if I remind you of Taylor Swift's Safe and Sound? Now, if you would like to be the first few to listen to it and watch the Hunger Games: Catching Fire movie before everyone else, then you better read more...

WHEN: CLOSEUP FOREVER SUMMER POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE / FOXES, REBECCA & FIONA AT REPUBLIQ

 

I know this is supposed to be a "forever summer" party, but the unexpected visit of the category 5 typhoon Yolanda / Haiyan negated the theme.

Let's all find time to pray for everyone's recovery and prioritize safety first. Good job CloseUp. First, for making sure you get them to an indoor location for security. Secondly, for STILL thinking of the ticket buyers' welfare and not pushing a location a lot smaller than the expected attendees. I know how CloseUp Summer Solstice went, and it doesn't surprise me how much you guys want to give us the ultimate summer party experience :)

Will keep you posted for the new date. Check http://closeupforeversummer.com/ for the FAQs. 

But hey hey! You can still party with Foxes and Rebecca & Fiona tonight (November 9), together with Ace Ramos, Mars Miranda and Martin Pulgar at Republiq Club! Wanna hear the best part? Proceeds is for the benefit of Typhoon Yolanda victims, so come party with charity!;)

Kelly Osbourne as Carrie

So this year's Halloween shindigs have come to an end. Yeah what used to be a spooky night has turned out to be a long weekend of booze, parties and character transformations!

Call me a loser for not experiencing much of it this year. Hmm, had enough of rum & whiskey, include beer yes. Party is subjective so check on that too. But no costume party for me at all! 

That's why I decided to just chill, enjoy the slow wifi connection and curate for some of the best halloween costumes celebrities wore this year - thanks to Instagram's search option and hashtags! ;)
