Sugoistuff is still sugoi

Apologies from moi, Flori. As you may have noticed already, I have not been posting much and my Pinoy J band feature about J Crunch Ripiito is still under my drafts folder. I will post it soon. I’m just waiting for some info confirmation from people. Another thing is, this freelance business is really a very busy profession. For some reason, the month of April has brought me a deluge of work. Not that I’m complaining, it...

I’ve been in and out of the J community for the past 7 years but to tell you the truth, this is actually the first time I’ve ever been to a J-Music event....

J Crunch Ripiito!

Blame it on sleep deprivation (poor insomniac is what I am), a mountain load of clothes to wash, and the fact that I pity my photographer for bullying him to accept a little sideline despite his busy schedule. Since I forced it on him, I have to wait a little before I can get my hands on the pictures. Where was I? Oh yeah, making excuses. Anyway, articles (and peekchurs) on yesterday’s J Crunch Ripiito will be posted soon. Same...
