I don't think I have ever felt this privileged in my entire life as an 18-year old average girl.
Originally, I was not supposed to attend the 8123 Tour here in Manila. It was already decided, last December, that my budget really wasn't cut out for the ticket prices. Typically, I resorted to joining the last minute contests and the lot. And as usual, I never really did win.
And then Sunday (January 12 // Day of the Show) came, and I received a Facebook message from an old friend I met through Twitter. She used to run this certain account for Kennedy Brock, which Kennedy himself follows back, and I thought it was really cool that she's a Filipino like me. So we got acquainted, and became good friends. But the thing is I have never met her, ever--well until the 8123 show, that is. Ate Joy (her name), offered me her ticket at the bleacher for free. (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!? OF ALL PEOPLE IN THIS PLANET, SHE ASKED ME>>!>!>!) And despite my apparent en devour because of the distance from my home to the venue, I still accepted it. Hashtag medyo rebel!!!
Apart from the show, some of my internet BFFizzles had originally planned to hang around the Sky Dome even if they weren't going to watch. What they knew was I wouldn't be able to make it because I had no transportation, but I braved the LRT together with Ate Julienne and surprised all of them with my presence.
It was so much fun to hang with them again. Plus, we were filled with so much laughter and nostalgia. We even called ourselves "Veterans" because we honestly didn't know a lot of people who attended the concerts anymore! We've been doing this for so long, haha!
Taina && Ate Joy! {Bleachers buddies}
The concert bebehs.
I was a bit far and only had my iTouch with me. So here is all that I can give you.
Sadly, I wasn't able to wait out until the free M&G Signing. It was almost 12 midnight and I had an 8 AM class the next day. So I left my drawing to Ian and thank goodness she was able to give it to John! And also got me a signature from Kennedy!
