[30 DAY BLOG CHALLENGE] Concert Pa More!

Hiya, guys!

As you may have read in the title, I'm gonna talk about concerts.

But here's the thing -- I only have been to two concerts ever in my life. The first one was back when I was in Grade One, and the second was when I was in fourth year college.

According to the photo source, it's hard to come across a photo of the original Rivermaya with Perf de Castro (leftmost) in it, and he has it. *yay!*
The Rivermaya Concert

Back when I was in Grade One, all students in our school were 'required' to buy tickets for a fundraising concert to be held in our school grounds, with Rivermaya frontlining the event. If you're a Filipino who spent grade school and high school in nearly any school in the Philippines, you know why I put the emphasis on the word 'required' here.

Yes guys, we're talking about Rivermaya with Bamboo Manalac as the lead vocalist and Rico Blanco as its keyboardist and backup vocalist. And this is Rivermaya in its 'Kisapmata' and 'Elesi' days.

Anyway, since we (me and my brother who is also studying in the same school as I am) already bought the tickets, it would be too much of a waste if we would not attend it. But because we were too young to attend any event that is held in the evenings, Mom joined us.

Maybe I was too young to appreciate concerts like this but you know what? To this day, I could still remember standing on a chair few meters from the stage, with Mom on my side and my brother on the other side also standing on a chair to get a better view of the band. I could still remember singing to their songs even though I could not pronounce most of the lyrics save for the catchy last part of 'Elesi.' And to this day, whenever you say 'last concert I attended,' that event will always be on top of my mind.

Wazzup With Meh?

My answer? Nothing much, thank you.

I've been thinking about updating my blog, because when you come to think about it, my latest blog entry was a late one - it's supposed to be posted the day after, but it took some time out before I finally posted them. Going back, I really feel disorganized, probably because of the stress brought about by graveyard shift, that I can't seem to arrange my thoughts good enough for a half-decent blog entry.

So to make it up to the lost time, I'll just make a rundown na lang siguro...


  • There was nothing much last V-Day for me and my boyfriend, primarily because of his sickness (more of that later). But even though, he still made an effort to meet me at Gateway. We just ordered pizza (buy one take one, mind you) and ate one of them at the food court (I took the other one to the office, where I treated my shiftmates to a pizza). Highlight of the night? He gave me a single-stem tulip!
  • Boyfie has been suffering from mild asthma since the first week of February. It all started when he cleaned their house in time for his family's arrival, but the next day, he is going down with fever, so bad that he was not around for two days. The following week, he came to class coughing every now and then, that he has to be looked after everytime we're together. I really don't mind at all, but I really can't help feeling pity towards him. I mean, he should have been resting the whole time, but he still chose to go to school just so he does not miss the classes. Poor boy...
  • I missed the Taylor Swift concert! Primarily because I don't have the dough to buy the tickets... So sad... :(
