My very first festival...ever
2/2
Let me just express my emotions with a lot of "!!!!!!!!" and "????!!!?!?!?!?!" because Circuit Fest just blew my brains off (not literally).
The day started off quite interesting when I reached Intercontinental Hotel, because my friends: Mariel, Ate Julienne, Kat, Issa and her friend were already at Jeepney having their ritual breadbasket. I was so excited to meet Mariel for the first time ever so *controlled screams!!!!*. Other than that, the five of them were pointing at someone behind me and saying "Si Leahy, tignan mo. SI LEAHY" my heartbeat literally went faster and I panicked (sort of) deep inside. So I slyly and casually looked around as if searching for someone who isn't Cameron freaking Leahy. My peripheral vision went too far off though, it took me about 30 seconds and two turn-arounds to realise that Cameron was only sitting at the table almost across us. He was still reading Pride and Prejudice with his head down, and his bed hair covering half his face. That didn't stop me from recognizing him though and "hhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg-ing" a couple of times inside my head.
The girls also told me that they sent Cameron a note if we can take pictures with him after he's done eating. The note ended being folded and set aside. We all thought he ignored our simple request. But to our surprise, as soon as Cameron stood up, he held the small piece of paper in his hand and looked at me (AT ME!!!) with a small smile then asked, "Is this from you guys?" I could only stutter a quipped "yes" and smiled stupidly. Ugh.
Results: Excellent.
Ate J and Mariel got pictures too. And then we had our group pic. I ended up disappearing behind Kat, but it's alright! Cameron's hand was around me the whole time and I felt this much safe. (WEH, CAMILLE)
Mariel finally got her moment with Jordan so Eckong exists! I'm so happy that day. Fiel also arrived just a few minutes after Cameron left and I felt bad about her not meeting Cam. Next time, there will be a next time! *shakes fist* She got to witness David Pavluk's perfection in a hoodie on a hot Saturday morning though. But he walked too fast and my brain functioned too slow. Sigh.
Anyway, all in all we had so much fun!!!
We arrived right after A+ Dropouts' set, I sort of felt bad for not watching them after our M&G encounter. Megan Nicole was awesome too!

BEST. SET. EVER. Not to be biased or anything but I have never raved so hard in my entire life until then. I just love how Cameron's stage presence could get you jumping and dancing off of your feet. I was honestly dehydrated (and wet) after they finished singing.
(Now I can finally say, "God I'm so wet because of TDF")
BYE was just surprisingly amazing though, even if I only watched from afar I could still feel the energy radiating from the stage. I felt so proud for Francine! Also Friley happened so I'm very very happy about everything.
Cla, Nikki, Fiel, Rian, Kat and I raved so hard during WATIC's set too. Haha, it was so much fun! Plus it started raining so +++++Fun!!
Right after Mayday Parade's first song, my Aunt arrived already. I thought I was heading home. But on the way out of the venue, she called and told me to go back in so I can finish the entire set.
Ending: I cried during Oh Well, Oh Well with Kat and Fiel as witnesses. No regrets.
I look forward to more fun times with these people and The Downtown Fiction. I've also realised that I should focus more on myself now and less in concerts. So the following posts in the future might consist of things about my actual life more.
