At around 9:30 pm, the three of us got to the venue. Being no stranger to the ADHOC scene, I already expected a massive crowd coming to the event. But this edition gave us a rather pleasant surprise. The queues were so long that they stretched all the way to the parking lot. But even with the massive crowd, the organizers were still able to keep the lines orderly and perfectly hassle-free. Lining up was a breeze! After roughly half an hour of waiting, we finally got inside. The very second I got in, I already felt it was going to be a night to remember. Seeing the stage, the lights, multiple bars and booths, and of course, the dance floor got me really ecstatic. The venue was ENORMOUS as it was the three halls of the World Trade Center, no less.

We immediately got ourselves some drinks to kickstart what ought to be a fabulous night. Smirnoff, J&B, San Miguel, and Monster Energy were just some of the sponsors, and I’d say it couldn’t get any better than that. You have overflowing beer, rum, and vodka as you lose yourself to the sick beats and flashing lights; then you have an energy drink to give you that extra lift when dancing won’t let you rest. Bravo, UP JMA. Bravo.

It didn’t take long for the venue to get packed. As early as 10:30pm, international sensation DJ Jason Dewey was introduced, to the delight of the highly appreciative crowd. I could understand all the love – he has already spinned all over the world and has been a support DJ for big acts such as Tiesto (Club Life Podcast), Hardwell, Paul Oakenfold, and the list goes on. This particular set had me dancing likes there’s no tomorrow. This was his 3rd appearance at ADHOC, and definitely his best yet. What made it even sweeter is that he chose the event to be the world premiere of his new single, Overnight. True to his reputation, the track was catchy and had great beats. Definitely a potential hit in the global club scene!

Just shortly before midnight, it was the turn of our very own, DJ Ace Ramos to get the crowd even wilder. He is a rising DJ in the local circuit, spinning for top-notch clubs in the metro such as Prive, Opus, and Republiq to name a few. Like DJ Jason Dewey, he’s also an ADHOC veteran. Now I gotta say that this was the highlight of the night! For one, he played almost all of my personal favorites. It felt like a personal playlist to me! It was so good that dancing became inevitable -- trust me, it was just impossible not to. DJ Ace Ramos is a true star. I can’t wait to see him create original world-class material and launch the Philippines as the new EDM powerhouse.

Just when I thought the night couldn’t get any better, I bumped into some of my high school friends whom I hadn’t seen for a very long time. Quite understandably, we partied like it was high school over again. It was a whirlwind of emotions! Nostalgia and eargasm indeed guarantee an all new level of natural high.

By midnight, spectacular fireworks came on as Swedish House Mafia’s Reload was playing. It was highlight after highlight after highlight! I would run out of adjectives if I were to describe just how awesome it was. It was a party to satisfy all your senses. The party to end all parties. It was overkill in an overwhelmingly good way.

Congratulations to UP JMA for the very successful event! It was the best ADHOC yet, hands down. This will be a tough act to follow, but I know how you are always full of surprises… So I’ll see you in the next edition! I can’t say this enough: Good one, baby. Good one!

The ADHOC, presented by UP JMA, was tagged as the BEST and the BIGGEST college party in the Metro wherein college students from different universities and even young professionals gather together in one awesome night, partying like there's no tomorrow. This amazing party happens once every semester.

For me, the day started with hesitations of not going to the event but this blogger, Mark Ontoy, gave me a free ticket to ADHOC, so determination came to me as I dress up. 

We came in the World Trade Center fresh and got out so sweaty and wasted. But it was worth it! Imagine the overflowing drinks all night long, pushing you further and further in to non-sobriety, plus the music guiding each of our drunken steps thumping to the same beat.

Look at this 15,000+ ADHOC Attendees. 

I sudden became a partyphile after the party. I got this ADHOC hangover until now! It's my first time btw.

There is a lot to tell but most of 'em are R18+ na. Hahaha! Epic talaga.
