Y.O.L.O. Party

Probably the most insane party I have ever gone to in my entire existence. It was nothing like what I expected to be honest.

Starting off with the venue. When you think of an EDM party, you imagine this insane stage and a panoramic view of what would have been the wildest night of your life, but once we got there, holy shit, I instantly wished we just stayed home and played LOL all day long instead. The venue was similar to almost that of a farm, complete with animals. The smell wraps it all up in a nutshell. At first we thought we were lost, I drove there together with my friends for almost two hours. It was in Calamba, Laguna by the way, so you could just imagine the hell we have gone through because of the traffic.

I wasn't ready to drop any criticisms to the place, after all, the party doesn't start until the drinks flow out. The drinks were fine. Totally enough for everyone. As the night grew everyone was starting to have fun. Crowds of all kinds were present and I was also able to meet Kevin Pableo in person--if you were able to read my previous blog, you'd recall how he was such a big deal to my uncle who passed away. This is kind of personal but I'm going to share it anyway. My love for concerts and raves was from my uncle, who himself spent most of his time looking for the next big event to attend to. He ALWAYS asked me if I wanted to come with him every time he goes to an event. This was kind of the legacy he left before he passed away last August. And until now, I relive my uncle's presence every time I attend to these kinds of parties. He always knew how to have fun and taught me to do whatever makes us happy, regardless of what other people might think. I knew Kevin Pableo on twitter; my uncle told me to follow him because he was this big time concert blogger. He was an avid fan. From then on, I started reading his blog: manila concert scene, and became friends with him on twitter. Kevin asked if we could meet at the party, exchanged numbers, and then viola, instant friends. My uncle would be so proud. Kevin's a really cool dude, the kind of guy you would happily spend the weekend with just attending rave events and concerts. I'm really happy that my uncle introduced me to his work, I might even plan on being like Kevin someday. That'd be cool as fuck.

Moving on with the YOLO party, the night was long. 6 pm to 6 am was no frickin joke. You'd really get tired from all the head banging and drinking. The good thing was it wasn't that hot because it was an open field, and the parking lot wasn't that far so it was really convenient. I wouldn't say it was safe, but hey, the night was all about taking risks right?

Ten years from now I'm gonna go back to this blog and I'm betting myself that I'll be laughing my ass off and say, "Shit, I was a stupid kid".

The DJs were awesome and really knew how to pump up the crowd. Although Mars Miranda and Ace Ramos weren't present, the party still lasted until morning. EDM Philippines, which was kind of the media organizer of the event was really friendly. I loved that crowd. Everyone and I do mean, EVERY SINGLE PERSON, had a great time. There's no reason not to come next time. To top it off, the YOLO party was a roller coaster ride. I'm not saying I'm proud of it but it was really worth remembering, especially because I spent it with my friends. From those crazy high dudes, to twerking butts, I'll say that the YOLO party got their message across. You really do ONLY LIVE ONCE. It was crazy.

Here's their official promo video by the way:
