I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU A STORY

     One of the coolest things (not just only in college but) in life, generally, are those Profs that don't require a final exam before the semester ends, they'll just require their students to accomplish or do a certain activity that is related to the subject for them to weigh the knowledge that you have acquired, and for them to measure how far can you go with the lessons that they had shared with you throughout the whole semester.

      Just like our Writing for TV professor. Our oh-so-cool-prof informed us right at the very beginning of the sem, that he will not conduct a final written examination, but he will divide our class into groups for us to make a news production team! And the whole class was like, "Hell! yeah!" mode. Of course, it's something that we really look forward to. We really want to experience on how we get to produce our own story on TV! YEY!

       So, after several meetings, my team leader assigned my group with the feature story. Which really made me happy because there are a ton of stories out there that can be featured. Our lives are already made easier, and then this! It's definitely going to be easier in a whole new level now! But there's one problem, there are so many choices and I can't get to choose what story to feature. And then it hit me. As my groupmate suggested that i should feature this shop on a mall just one jeepney ride away from our school. And of course, I agreed. 

       Why? It's simply because, everytime I go to that mall, there's not a single chance that I don't get to visit that store (though I can't buy the things that they are selling) but the environment of the store simply gives me a certain-feeling of amusement.

       And I would really like to highlight some important things that define us on how Filipinos live on a day-to-day basis with an astounding smile every single time. Filipinos are known because of their talent in singing and dancing, and it's a part of their daily routine. But of course, without music, that won;t be possible. Filipinos fall in love with music beyond genre, language, the artist and even beyond the message that it conveys.

       And of course, who would hate coffee?

       So... I went to SATCHMI MUSIC&LIFETYLE

             If you're going to visit Megamall in Ortigas. At the Mega Fashion Hall C, there's a vinyl store there that put the A in AWESOME! It's no ordinary vinyl and turn-table shop, for it offers and gives you a hint on what it feels like to have an Old Classic American Lifestyle. (Though the owners came from Canada) A lot of vinyl, turntables and coffee! A very good combination huh?

       Here are some photos that I took when we were shooting for our TV Prod, let the photos do the talking! hahaha!

Look at that Art! Ooh lala! Coffee anyone?

So here's the coffee-shop-part of Satchmi

And here's the cool part! Aside from the vinyls that they are playing in the store, you can also have a Me-time inside the Listening room where you can choose a vinyl that you would like to play and listen to! And the best part is, no one's going to bother you! And the best-est part, its for FREE! yeah!

While enjoying your coffee and the good music that surrounds the room, you can always take your time to read whether you have your own book, or you can always read Satchmi's books.

Hey, the turntable right there, it's playing! They may be playing the classic songs, but if it's playing from a vinyl, ooohhhh... it never gets old. Good music plus nice art. Well. 

I don't know why, but this part of Satchmi is my favorite part. It's only a design though, but it adds up to the mood of the place. It's awesome!

Old School is cool right? :)

You will! Automatically! I'm telling you this!

Coffee again. Cappuccino. 

Who wouldn't want to wear these HAPPY SOCKS? 

You can easily feel the HAPPINESS flowing within you by juts looking at them.

Yes. Definitely, you'll feel that you've reached NIRVANA, within the music that they are playing.

ALFRED EISENSTAEDT... me too!

MORE BOOKS!

Can we like make this possible? hahahaha!

          So you might be thinking that they're only selling vintage vinyls or the old records of the classic artists... NO! They also sell, the modern artists and they all have the genre and artists. You just have to ask and it will be given to you.

          If you have time, and you can drop by... go ahead! You will not regret it. It's definitely worth it!

    Uhhh, if you're going to ask for the output of our tv prod... you better not! But I'll tell you this. We did great! Hahahaha!
