Hahahaha... I was curious that anybody will remember me as Metaflamenca. They are all my good friends. Love that time when many people came to our stage and shout our names. Heii I got scholarship at my university (UPH) with this band when i was playing keyboard. The same stage on video that 21st Night showed before they got famous. N the same stage that Saykoji showed after they got famous. Now it's my turn with Nika.

Peaceee....
Manuel :)

Senengnya Natal 2009 bersama-sama dengan family (selain Manuel's family yang ternyata secretly pergi jalan-jalan ke Thailand) kita merayakan natal bersama. Nika pun menyumbangkan beberapa lagu natal untuk memeriahkan acara.

Manuel 22nd Birthday

Makan-makan di Poke Sushi seminggu setelah Manuel ulang tahunnya di 5 Des. Banyak yang ga bisa dateng. Karena di saat bersamaan Gibran ama Anggita lagi di Bogor. Gading Marten kalo gak salah waktu itu lagi isi acara di Biblitheque Sampoerna Building. Jadinya kita makan-makan dengan teman-teman dari Brand Ambassador Agency aj plus chacha and Sarah. Inget mereka telat dateng bawa kue tart. Di saat yang lain sudah kenyang makan. Jadinya tuh tart ga dibuka sama sekali. :o

Itulah Cinta

Songs & Lyrics by Anggita

Ini pertama kali kita take lagunya. Lokasinya lupa tapi inget banget studionya. Ada hall of fame band-band yang pernah ngetake di situ. Dari ungu, godbless, sampai sheila on 7 pernah take disitu. Hahahaha... Paling inget ama operatornya, mukanya sangar alias rocker abis. Agak gemuk, sebelah rambutnya panjang sebelahnya pendek. Tapi baik banget.
