BAZOOKA ROCKS III: ECHOSMITH

        Bazooka Rocks is the first annual Philippine indoor rock festival that started on 2012. It's a two-day concert featuring some of the best foreign and local bands of today. Since it's a two-day concert, we decided to come at the second day of the show which includes; You Me at Six, We Are The in Crowd, The Summer Set, Echosmith, Coldrain, and many more! If I had one word to describe this concert, it would be epic. Why? You'll know why. 

      We haven't really seen the whole performance of Coldrain because me and my sister were already preparing for the meet and greet of The Summer Set. Unfortunately, picture's are not allowed. Sucks right? Well, we got to see the last part of their performance and they are a good band.

ECHOSMITH

           After the performance of Coldrain, me and my older sister were walking slowly towards the front row while some people are sitting waiting for the next band, Echosmith, to perform. Echosmith is an indie band that consists of siblings who range from 15-21. Pretty young, right? But listening to their music makes it clear that the siblings have some real talent. 

       Before their performace, the siblings were fixing their stuffs on stage covering their faces. Everyone was screaming because covering yourself isn't obvious (note sarcasm). The band started with "Ran Off in The Night" and the crowd was already screaming at the top of their lungs. Well, who wouldn't? 

      Echosmith has a bright future ahead of them because the future is always bright for talented young artists like them.

                     

Meaning of Life

        I went with my dad early morning at Guimbal to swim with the dogs. I decided to take pictures of the beach as the sun rises. While taking pictures of the beach, I saw these children playing and I enjoyed taking pictures of them playing something like mermaid stuff. When I was younger, me and my sisters played a lot at the beach and acting like mermaids. 

        But looking at them was more than that. It made me thought of most of us today. Here we are, spending our days mostly in beds and slowly dying in front of our computers or gadgets, shutting our doors. We can stare at the stars, and not just at our screens. The first and last thing we hold after and before sleeping is our phone or gadget. I can't stand hearing the silence of a restaurant because most of the people around me are using their gadget. We came here to talk and not look like robots. The children today thinks it's the normal because we, the older people, are all doing it and they're just copying it. We all wished that we're thinner, happier, full of regrets because we are always caught in the net. We should be like the kids on the picture, living life the real way.

ATRING

           While me and my dad were walking towards the hill to take pictures at the place where he used to go in his childhood times, we saw an old woman just walking, alone, smoking tobacco. My dad asked me if I wanted to take a picture of her for my next drawing. I said no because I have no clue. Maybe I was shy? 

          We were walking towards the hill for almost an hour but we decided to return to my grandmother's house because I was exhausted. We were already walking towards my grandmother's house and already walking for an hour. We saw the old woman again, walking under the heat of the sun, smoking tobacco. Because I was amazed, we approached her and ask a few questions before I took her picture. Her name is Atring. My dad introduced himself and told her that he is a Garibay hoping that he might know my lola.

          After the long walk, I showed my picture of Lola Atring to my other lola, Lola Lica. She told me that she knows her and said that Lola Atring knows my grandmother but just forgot because she was also a teacher like my grandmother. She told me that she walks everyday on a rocky path from her daughter's house and walks for so long to visit her old house, alone, smoking her tobacco.
