I am Cj de Silva. Some might recognize me as the Promil Kid. I love to paint and illustrate. Advertising is not just a day job for me. Film, moving pictures and music are my escapes.

All Hail The Queen: The Music Mix For The Queen

Call me archaic but I think in our modern age, monarchy still exists. We hand-pick our royalties from semi-celebrities to people who take their photos of their outfit of the day, unknowingly proclaiming ourselves as their followers. (Oh hello, Twitter.)
But there will always be the royalty we didn’t choose and simply invaded our lives – in high school, in college and even at work. They might not be the same person, but she’s definitely the same girl. The girl God made to continually make us feel insecure and inadequate. The Queen Bee…
…And here’s my ode to all the Queen Bees who tried but failed to reign over me.
Pretend To Be Nice by Letters To Cleo
Boys With Girlfriends by Meiko
Ugly Girl by Fleming & John
Call An Ambulance by Albert Hammond, Jr.
Tighten Up by The Black Keys
Happiness Is A Warm Gun by The Beatles
Crazy by Aerosmith
I Can Buy You by A Camp
You Know The Answer, Follow The Leader by Ciudad*
SURPRISE TRACK
(They Long To Be) Close To You cover by Cranberries
Just Like Heaven by The Cure
There’s Always Someone Cooler Than You by Ben Folds
Cool by Gwen Stefani
Giraffe by The Miniature Tigers
You’re So Cruel Stephanie by Patience Dear Juggernaut*
Bust Your Kneecaps by Pomplamoose

My band Ciudad will be releasing a new album very soon (July!) and here’s a track from that album, the single “There’s A Lonely Road To Sunday Night.” Enjoy!

The new album is called “Follow The Leader” and there will be an launch on July 7 at Route196 (Attraction! Reaction!). :)

Nothing excites me more than the idea of the local band I’ve loved for years is releasing their new album.:)

BACK TO SCHOOL PLAYLIST

Cliche as it may sound, I realized that UP Diliman felt like home. Even if I’ve (figuratively) moved out four years ago, its still my sanctuary. School will always be the place where I can go back to innocence, where idealism is my everyday coffee and mistakes are fixable the next semester.

Click here to check out and download my BACK TO SCHOOL mix! Enjoy!

Hello boys and girls! Here’s a new video from Patience Dear Juggernaut for his new single “Forget About Her”, from the album Girl, The Impaler. Can’t help but feel proud not only because he’s my boyfriend, but because I did some of the cinematography. All autumn shots are by yours truly. ;-)
