The past few months can be summed up to one hell of a roller coaster ride featuring heightened levels of the feels. A ride so fast, it rolls at 100Gbps. A ride conducted by the awesomest people at Billboard Philippines. A ride that’s just getting started. Today, straight out of our weekly editorial gathering, the Ed Team kids kicked back in the meeting room at the BillboardPH office, when our dear graphic artist Emmie started making some beats.

I guess forming new relationships is considered as CREATING something, too… yeah?
