Boom! Clap! Sometimes I wonder if I’m ever too old for music festivals like this but c’mon guys, age is just and always be a number. Last Friday, December 12 2014 was another grand party for Sonic Carnival featuring the hottest local and foreign DJs of the season.

I’ve been enjoying EDM and raving lately and I don’t know why. The hypes, the drops, the beats. People jumping up and down and partying like there’s no tomorrow. It’s sort of the millenials way of expressing their unity.

Or… they just want to rebel. Or… they just want to hook up.. Or… they just like the music.. Or… there are many reasons why people go!

So why did I go?

I came to enjoy the music and observe the crowd. Immersing yourself in a pool of different people sort of makes you wiser. Even in slight interaction.

Young. Old. Conservative. Provocative. Single. Pair. Groups.
