Another kilig proposal

Here’s something to brighten your timeline up — a super kilig proposal 35,000 feet in the air. According to the post, a Cebu Pacific cabin crew member got engaged to her boyfriend in a sweet proposal that the entire plane witnessed. It was over the PA system too!

Rico Blanco’s viral TikTok gets reimagined by producer/singer-songwriter raven

Here’s a new song to add to your playlist. Rising producer/singer-songwriter raven teams up with indie-pop artists Naila and somere on the new single “S.U.K.I.”—released on Mar. 25 via Sony Music Philippines. To think that this bop started as a random challenge on Rico Blanco’s TikTok! The alternative rock icon posted an instrumental late last year which garnered over 2.8 million views and raven, a multi-instrumentalist and singer/rapper, took the challenge to write a verse over it. Fast forward to the present and we’ve got this collab.

“’S.U.K.I.’ was actually based from my own personal experience,” says raven. “I wrote it as a tribute to a young love that didn’t end up pretty well, despite trying everything to make it work.”

Up-and-coming singer-songwriters Naila and somere completed the musical narrative by writing and singing their own verse on the rap ballad, giving the material a refreshing perspective that complements raven’s bedroom pop treatment. Listen to “S.U.K.I.” on all digital platforms!

 

Books from Underground is back

Students passing through Manila City Hall’s underpass know that you can find a bookstore there that sells practically any book you need — fiction or non-fiction. If it’s not on the piles already there, you can ask the owners and they’ll find a way to get you a copy. After Manila Mayor Isko Moreno redesigned the entire Lagusnilad Underpass, students were worried Books From Underground might relocate. But the Mayor made sure the bookstore will remain, albeit in a different stall. Check out Books From Underground with the same books but an upgraded aesthetic to fit the newly-designed Lagusnilad Underpass.

 

Lucifer Season 5 will drop on Netflix on May

Fans of the TV show Lucifer have mixed emotions. The beloved devil himself, Tom Ellis, has taken to Instagram to post a tribute for the last day of filming for the show. “6 years ago I started a journey with the most amazing group of people and today we say a fond farewell to each other,” wrote Ellis. The crew has just wrapped up shooting for the show’s final season, Season 6.

The timeline was, naturally, emo. But then Lucifer dropped a bomb that Netflix will be premiering the second half of Season 5 on May 28. And now everyone is torn between rejoicing and being sad. But at least May 28th is less than two months away!

There was a time when news like a whole cargo ship getting stuck in the Suez Canal — one of the most important waterways worldwide — was going to make headlines for weeks. But now that we’re in the middle of the pandemic, that’s just regular news. Anyway, in case you were following, the colossal 200,000 ton Ever Given cargo ship is now free. It spent almost a week lodged in the banks of the Suez Canal no thanks to a sandstorm. Ever Given blocked the path of about 420 ships and “cost billions of dollars in maritime commerce.” But thanks to the equally gargantuan efforts of authorities round the clock, the nightmare ended.
