Express freely at the #ViberUniverse Halloween Ball

Get your space suits ready and head over to the #ViberUniverse Halloween Ball at The Palace Manila. All extra-terrestrials are being called back into the mothership as The Palace gets transformed into the solar system’s hotspots. Watch Pool Club turn into the moon, Valkyrie shift into a space station, and Revel go red for Mars. Our beat commanders, DJs Ace Ramos and Mars Miranda, will transport you to another dimension.

And while the theme is Space Odyssey, any ghouls and gals are welcome to come as any horrific monster, comic character, or pop culture icon that they deem fit for the evening. The only requirement is to EXPRESS FREELY! Or better yet, be weirdos together with your Viber friends.

Kakanta ang mga nangangaluluwa, at dapat ay bibigyan sila ng pera ng mga nasa bahay na tinapatan at kinantahan nila.

For the beloved departed (2)

Ngayon ko lang na-realize na hindi rin pala ako nakauwi sa Marinduque last year. Noong isang taon, ang pag-ala-ala sa kanila ay isanagawa ko online. Ganoon din pala ang mangyayari ngayon.

Siyanga pala, kagabi, dahil sa brown-out, at bisperas ng Undas at di ako nakauwi, di ako makatulog. Idagdag pang lagi kong naiisip ang nangyari sa isang bagong kaTinig:
