Autotelic lets go of its painful past with hopeful new single ‘Iwan’

By -

When Filipino pop-rock bands in the early 2010s started to gain mainstream prominence, Autotelic emerged as one of the movement’s leading voices. From churning heartfelt anthems that reflect the sentiments and triumphs of the current generation to rocking the stage with unforgettable performances, the six-piece band sets the standards of what modern pop songcraft is all about: beautifully resonant at its most melancholic, and defenseless in its poignant honesty. Fast forward to 2021, Autotelic’s music still hits home. Their work has been consistent in eloquently expressing the woes and rewards of being young, in love and emotionally wrecked, and is informed not so much by its time, but by timelessness and enduring appeal. These qualities are inevitably present on “Iwan,” Autotelic’s new single released under MCA Music Inc.

The French Baker Experience (Sta. Lucia East Mall)

It was my first time eating a full meal at this restaurant. I usually just bough breads here and not dine here.
Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa

My daughter and I ordered this one, chicken meat is so huge that the rice served with it is not enough. Thought mango salsa wasn't that appealing for my taste. :)

So spacious, maybe because there's no much customers that time
 They have a free WIFI by the way, of which I enjoyed! LOL

They also have a very attentive crew, fast and always on the go. :)

 Each meal is served with a cup of soup, that time we were served with the meaty crab soup (i really don't know what it is called, but it's full of seafood.)

I love the idea of the water they served with a slice of orange and mint leaves.. 

My rating:
Food: 4/5
Ambiance: 4/5
Crew: 4/5
Value: 4/5

Spoliarium, an opera with libretto by Soprano Fides Cuyugan-Asensio and with music by Ryan Cayabyab was the first production I saw pertaining to the life of Juan Luna. Originally staged at the CCP in 2003 starring Robert Seña at the titular role, the opera was staged in Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York thirteen years later. Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF) current production of "Obra Ni Juan " was my follow-up. This original Filipino musical was written by Atty. Vince Tañada, PSF President and Artistic Director and with music by Peter Paul "Pipo" Cifra, president of UST Conservatory of Music Alumni Association Incorporated, marked as my first production I saw from PSF. Established in 2002, PSF is a professional theater company with an objective of helping the poor, elderly, sick and even the forgotten, has been consistently conducting free theater workshop in schools nationwide and continuously organizing outreach programs to various charities
