MANILA, Philippines - The last trimester has just begun and most people were looking forward to the start of September. Some are excited for the approaching holiday season, some can’t wait for semestral break, but a few just wanted to tweet “Wake me up when September ends.”
Whatever your reasons are, September 2014 will only happen once and there’s no better way to spend the days than creating memories while ticking off some things on your bucket or to-do lists. If you don’t have anything planned for the remaining weekends, here are a few events to fill up your calendar.
1. See art done live and listen to foot-stomping, head-banging music
Homegrown independent brand THE Clothing steps things up for their anniversary party this year. For five years, THE Clothing has been a noticeable influence on the local skateboarding, graffiti, cycling, art and music lifestyle. On Sept. 13, the brand’s fans and patrons will gather at Cubao X for good music, live art, bike shows and other surprise contests. Headlining the event are local favorites Sandwich, Cheats, Pinkcow, LDP and a whole lot more. If you don’t have any weekend plans yet, drop by for a good time.
