SYKES ANNIVERSARY PARTY @ 8 WAVES

July 01 - 02, 2006

It was Sykes Anniversary Party @ 8 waves. My first time attending it's yearly party since I was employed last September 2005. Some of my colleagues who had experienced such momentous event informed me that the yearly event was always fabulous. And it was always held @ Fontana in Subic. But this time it was different.
Party was held @ 8 waves in Bulacan. It was the first time for Sykes but not for many.

What makes this a momentous event was the warm welcome provided by igorot-looking people. They danced like there was no tommorow just to entertain us. I also want to add the bands who performed on this event. From our own bands to the guest band which is none other than Kamikazee. I feast on the foods that are served and pamper myself on one of those body massages. Of course, 8 waves will not be completed without it's famous "waves" on swimming pools.

Back to the bands. I was there since the start of the program taking pictures. I want to try something different. I want to try stage photography. Since this is my first time and can happen once in a year, i maximize my democracy. I positioned myself on the front of the stage to get a good angle and hopefully, some good shots (I did).

I loved that moment, taking pictures while listening to the bands. It's like doing 2 things at the same time and somehow you enjoyed it. Kamikazee who are now one of the popular band in the philippines really entertained us. From the funny antics of (jay) to hard rock music provided by the entire members of the band.

It was indeed a momentous event. Hopefully, I'm still @ Sykes on it's anniversary next year. I'm looking forward on it's next guest bands and of course, to practice stage photography.
