0 MAKATI CITY: THE 2014 SYMPHONY OF LIGHTS AND SOUNDS AT THE AYALA TRIANGLE GARDENS

The festival of lights once again opened at the city where makes it all happen. The magical moment is now happening at the Ayala Triangle Gardens from the laser lights to the melodious music of Christmas carols. Everyone is waiting for this moment since it now became tradition, if my memory serves me right it started last 2011 and I was there.

Therefore, it has been my fourth year now covering the symphony, and each year goes with different theme. I know for sure that this year would draw another surprise; I used to run here at the Triangle Gardens since October so I witnessed them installing the apparatus to be used for this glittering show. Apparently it’s kinda late now to post this since I work at night and weekend is the only time to visit the symphony. So yesterday, Saturday night I had the chance to watch myself the ever loved Symphony of Lights and Sounds in the country.

When I arrived at the Gardens, the place that used to be filled only with runners and office workers who happened to just burning time relaxing from nerve-wracking office works now converted into something like partying with the lights. This tiny triangle-shape property right in the middle of Makati’s Business District is occupied with jam-packed audience.

However the crowd is not just people who work at the residing huge firms at the Ayala Avenues but also people coming from the neighboring Metro Manila Cities. You can see parents with their kids, friends, or even the love birds. I therefore conclude that this Symphony don’t just bring the entertainment that pleases to spectator’s eyes but even living the spirit of Christmas through interspersing the people around us specially the loved ones.

So if you have time, bring your family and friends and be there before sunset. The Symphony of Lights and Sounds started at 6 PM and ends at 10 PM until January 4, 2015. Though you really need to have a little patience because it’s really crowded, even restaurants inside the Gardens are all jam-packed. In fact, they have built tents outside just to accommodate the huge number of people.

I suggest if you are coming with the family and small kids, bring your own food because the waiting time at these restos are unbearable. 

Anyway take a look at the photos below for this year’s Lights and Sounds. There are twinkling lights that once again enticed with shining effect. The lights feel like dancing that show creativity and vibrancy. The fog effects also added the amusement together with radiating green laser lights.

The accompaniment of music as well added the harmony. It opened in a rhythmic tone; I thought it’s like watching the Madagascar movie. They are Christmas carols but in jive to the samba like tempo and it’s really really good.
