Take me back to this time

3 years ago my favorite band visited Manila for the first time. I can partly remember the time I found out that they were coming over for a concert. It was late December or January and I was in my parent's bedroom with my sister and was surfing the net. I think someone texted me or messaged me online saying that they were coming and I started to laugh and jump and roll on the bed like a giddy little girl. Yes, I was THAT excited.

See, they are one of the few artists that I know all the songs by heart. I started to like them back in 4th year HS thanks to a friend who gave me a burned copy of Songs About Jane and then I was hooked. So I HAD to watch them live when they come.

March 5, 2008 was the date. So many things happened that day/night. It was awesome. Our seats were great. If only there weren't so many bouncers in our area we could've rushed to the front. I had one pic where this happened:

He was looking AT us!

I had a blast singing and dancing all throughout the concert! I didn't like the people we were seated with in our area 'cos they were SITTING! C'mon! You don't sit at a concert! And they'd only stand when it's a popular song. Good thing I was with Sara or else I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.

But the real fun happened after the concert. We rushed to the hotel right after and didn't even get to see them take a bow. haha.  We tried our hardest not to get kicked out of the hotel until they arrived. But when they did it was crazy! It was like each of us made a mad dash to the band. Of course Adam was the diva who had all the security people with him so only a few were able to get a photo with him. I got photos with 3 of the other members and I was a happy girl! It was great!

First band member I rushed to. Matt was so pogi I had my kilig face on.

Favorite pic of the Night. James is Awesome!

Wacky pic Fail.

Jesse really was the nicest to the fans. We were actually able to talk to him. And I think he stayed longer than the others. (The stories about him being the nicest was indeed true.) Sara had a video of this and we had our own boo boo. So Jesse, I forgive you for not doing the wacky face with me. And thank you James for being so game! :D

Other highlight of the night was Mafe falling to the floor after realizing that she had a pic with Adam. And us friends quickly walking away from her trying to disown her. Oh friends. haha

After all these we still stayed around for a bit. Waiting for them outside 'cos we heard they were going to an after party. We were still keen on getting a photo with Adam. I wanted a photo with Mickey too. We failed. We didn't see them again.

But it was still a very unforgettable night! It was a great first fangirl experience for me! First time to see my favorite band live and I got to meet them. With the help and support of friends! woot! I'd love to relive this again with the same people, because you never go wrong with great company!!

Awesome friends are awesome! <3
