17th NU rock awards winners

It's sad to know that I was able to get RA tix at a time where the show's just about to end. I had to be contented with the radio's bad reception for me to hear what's up over the NBC tent. I know the jocks were really sad, it surfaced despite being drunk and overwhelmed. But let's not talk about the fact that NU's ending. It was a gathering of the bests in the rock music scene after all.

The first half, I believe, was conquered by Tanya Markova, winning Best Music Video for Disney, Best Live Act (not surprising), and Best New Artist. But tables turned for the second half, where the major awards were presented. Franco bagged 4 awards, being the Listener's Choice and Artist of the Year. They also won the Album and Song of the Year Award. Cheers to them!



The Brewrats hosted the event with Ramon Bautista being MIA. Tama! Performers and former djs were nostalgic yesterday as they were trying to get through the event like Myrene, who shared her experience during the 1st rock awards, Ebe sang Burnout as an Intro: "NU, oh kay tagal kitang minahal", and I assume it was Francis Brew to whom I should attribute this quote saying that "sometimes love and passion are not enough."

So... this is the end. I even dreamt of being a NU Rock Jock someday. Sadly, it's now improbable.
