fishtank productions: May 2010

Party we need. Party we must.

Fishtank productions needed a big party to end this ~~drought~~ summer … and we only have one PERFECT venue in mind. Nothing beats villa de mercedes’ clubhouse… 800 square meters of infinity pool… white sand… laid back but stylish set up… the only problem? it’s a 30-minute drive from downtown davao… this isn’t manila, where a 30-minute drive is as ordinary as going to the mall… we davaoenos are very spoiled, everywhere is only 10-15 minutes away… but we don’t care… VDM’s clubhouse is definitely worth the trip! we hoped that fellow party goers felt the need to get away from the city *coughliquorbancough* and party like we used to…

This had been a pretty hard one to pull off… not only did we have less than 3 weeks to organize this event, we were having problems with logistics… going to and from VDM is no joke… anyway, good thing we had last minute sponsors who made our jobs, umm, less stressful…

thanks to HSBC, CROCS, Gilbey’s Premium Strength, Ram’s Lechon Manok and Seafood Restaurant, Mindanao Medical Foundation College, Sunlab, Cocktail, True Scents & Minerals and Pepper & Peppers… and also to our media partners, MIX FM, M Magazine and Muzika del Sur… kudos to KENNETH HAO, BAP RIVERA and WACKY MASBAD for the fab photos... also to guests who posted photos of sunset sessions *pa-grab*

to DEBIN URAYA, mr. president himself -- thank you for sharing your brainchild *inspired by boracay* with us... oh, and the food was great! two thumbs up!

What’s a pool party without henna tattoos? Still a pool party. Hehe. Kidding. Seriously, it gives the party authentic beach feel when you see pretty ladies sporting henna tattoos…

Karl ty is the resident DJ of one of Manila’s most innovative dance events production houses, Superfly… can you spell a-w-e-s-o-m-e?

We got DJ Torch to work together with DJ Karl Ty to guarantee one amazing night!

Damn power outage! Party pooper from hell! Lights out from 8pm -10pm… what to do? What to do? *panic mode* JAYPEE SOLIS, you f*ckn saved the night! Turning up the volume of your car’s speakers was a stroke of genius!

when in a party, no matter how dark, do as the partyphiles do… *@zhaun: may I borrow the word?*

Drink.

Strike a pose.

Get wet.

Chillax.

And when it rains? Just dance.

Mau, can you even remember doing this? Or were you still sober then? Haha! Thanks for ~~drinking~~ hosting and keeping us entertained the whole night :-)
