Hello! I'm JC Medina.
I work for Global Gateway Venture Capital. Also involved in a couple of startups. Contributing writer for Entrepreneur Magazine Philippines. I run a small gallery operation. New York Marathon on November 7, 2010. I used to run Rockeoke in MAG:NET High Street. I used to do some pretty neat stuff. I dream of fixing the Hippocritter so I could finally cruise the Nasugbu coastline in peace. Oh, click on the links below and stuff appears on the left.

and now it’s time to face the facts of life: we’re going bye bye.
mag:net’s always been more than a business to me, it’s been a second home. i’ve had the honor of meeting and hanging out with some of the most wonderful people at the bar. many of my favorite musical moments happened on our stage . i shot a movie and two music videos there. my band was formed there. one of my relationships grew amidst rockeokes and broadwayokes. many marriage proposals were made,all of them successful. and i can say with pride and honor that we have the most lovable crew to ever serve you, from the friendly Jon Lovitz look-alike John to our crazy comedian bartender Rogel.
this is the last major gig we’re having, and it’s a fundraiser for the son of everyone’s favorite head waiter, Chris Feliminiano (yung kamukha daw ni Redford White).a few weeks ago Chris’s 12 year-old son had an accident and fell off the second floor of their home. he’s undergoing an operation right now, which is quite costly, and proceeds from the gig will go to helping Chris pay for it.
with performances by Urbandub, Angulo, Ciudad, Us-2 Evil-0, The Dorques, Kate Torralba, Soapdish, Turbogoth and The Out of Body Special. entrance is 200 w one free beer. let’s all get together and celebrate rakenrol one last time. it’ll probably be your last chance to sneak to the third floor and MOMOL with someone.
(much love to Carlo Casas who did the poster)

[IDEA] One-Shot Travel Expo
“A one-shot (meaning, you’re not obliged to organize another tour in the future), let’s-figure-out-the-schedule-once-we-get-enough-people-interested, I’m-only-sharing-this-experience-once travel expo.”
Let’s talk about travel options you’ll never encounter under normal circumstances. With you as tour operator, you provide us with interesting options. Are you finally ready to share this secret with the world? Would you like to improve people’s perception of your neighborhood? Is it time to find people crazy enough to join you in your secret island?
Interested parties shall be asked to design a tour based on the following parameters:
- Duration wise, it should not exceed 2D/1N - the point is have everything in bite-sized pieces.
- Determine the size of the group you can handle.
- If it’s an out-of-town trip, try to include accommodations as much as possible. Food is a bonus.
- Transportation is optional, unless it’s a secret island tour, then you MUST find a way to get us from one point to the other.
- Thinking small is not a bad thing.
- Putting all these elements together should NOT stress you out.
- You can either be strict or flexible with the tour date. What’s important is that you get enough sign-ups during the event.
Then we’ll give you your own booth in the venue for cheap. Prepare the following:
- A one-page brochure of your tour.
- Pricing information.
- …that’s pretty much it.
Here are some ideas:
- Have a curated walking tour of your neighborhood. Foodie stops are a given but interesting standalone tour of small stores add a curious element to it.
- A no-holds-barred food fight in some farm in Batangas? You provide the pie and fruit. Complete with hosing facilities of course.
- A scenic roadtrip to nowhere while you treat your “clients” to an impromptu music appreciation class in your car. Lunch is served after.

2006 - committed one of the biggest blunders of my life. Then came this song. Sometimes you just have to be genuinely happy for those people that mattered.
Jens Lekman is coming to town, playing in MAG:NET High Street on March 31.

“Gabriel is a man who has written and recorded many good songs with thoughtful arrangements in his life, but his approach to this material is that of a pompous buffoon who has no understanding of why any of these songs worked in the first place. His bombast is flat, his phrasing is awful, his instincts are poor. He eliminates rhythm and melody from his Talking Heads cover, strips the wit from the Magnetic Fields and the levity from Paul Simon, and performs David Bowie’s “Heroes” in a way that ignores its essential dramatic restraint. There are two modes on this album, and sometimes they intersect: Bloated melodrama and/or clinical depression.”
Matthew Perpetua on Peter Gabriel’s Scratch My Back. And I have to agree. -
