Three Stars and a Sun!

We are happy to announce (again), that we, Cyril and Jen were given the privilege to be an authorize reseller of Francis M Clothing Co.

Starting, Nov. 25, 2008, we were officially a reseller and we were welcomed into the FMCC Family by Sir Itoy .  Our thanks also goes to Sir Francis M. for giving people like us the opportunity to be able to spread the love for our mother land, Pilipinas , and for inspiring us.  Sir Kiko, get well soon, we’re right here behind you armed with our prayers and the faith and strength that we will be drawing from each other.

Currently we have a limited number of stocks in our hands, but we expect to be able to get our new set of stocks, as soon as we are given the go signal by Sir Itoy.  I’ll be opening our online catalogue in a few weeks time, I just have to prioritize the catalogue for By Nature Handmade Soap for Jen.  CyJen’s Online Store then will have two set of catalogues, one for By Nature soaps then the other for FMCC shirts.

Again, our thanks goes to Sir Kiko and Sir Itoy and to the FMCC Family for accepting us as a member of the FMCC Family.

August 30, 2008, an estimate of 60,000 fans, all for the love of the Eraserheads, waited for hours at the The Fort Bonifacio Open Field just to be able to watch the bands reunion concert.

If you were not able to watch the concert live on last Aug. 30, you might as well not miss the Eraserheads Reunion Concert The Movie .  Smart Buddy and Sony BMG, will be presenting a 35 millimeter full length movie of the said concert.  The movie will be shown simultaneously in theaters in Metro Manila and Cebu starting Wednesday, November 26.

The movie captures the highlights of the biggest concert ever, state of the art sounds and lights, magnificent fireworks display, Eraserheads hits performed on stage and the different faces and emotions of fans that were at the concert.  It was not just a reunion concert, the event healed the rift among the four members of the band.  Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro.
