1/365: The Shutter Speed of Life

Permalink Soooo Im Back from a Very long hiatus.
Lets start this again with a bang.
Last friday i went to the 2nd paramore concert in manila.
Thats 2 for 2! if their concerts had attendance sheets i’d have a perfect attendance (LOL) 
anyway iam still having a concert hangover. Im kinda loving it.
The energy of the crowd is far too contagious its nice. I havent been this happy for a long time. (It doesnt help that im inlove with Hayley Nicole Williams).  have too much Para-Feels as of the moment that i have to retell the entire story from A to Z


Kids this is how I met Hayley (2nd time)…

When I heard rumours about a 2nd paramore concert in manila, I was ecstatic! It was bordering on insanity. Then i told a friend of mine to hook me up with some tickets just in case it was true.(He was supposed to hook me up with 30STM tickets. Paramore was to make up for it) Even with the possibility  of free tickets i still saved up (Quite a bit if I may say so) for tickets. I was aiming for VIP tickets since it was much more affordable this time than 2010’s Parathrilla in manila. Months passed and my friend told me that his uncle had tickets for Paramore. Since i called 1st dibs he said he’ll give it  to me. At that time none of us knew what kind of tickets they were. Thinking “Free Anything” is always better than “Paid Anything” i decided not to have tickets reserved. 


1 week before the concert:
Dude wasnt replying to my SMS’  and FB messages. I thought we was just busy with some stuff and stopped bugging him


3 Days before the concert:
Still no reply. That time i wasnt expecting much anymore since the concert is THREE FUCKING DAYS away. But I still asked him for updates anyway.

Valentines Day (1 Day from the concert):
I was having a bad week. I mean it was like the fucking Finals week. Plus  the fact that I didnt have anyone to spend valentines day with(Thats another story). Went home SAD AS FUCK. I just hoped to win some tickets from the promos/giveaways etc. 


Then…

I received a message from him telling me that he was feeling ill for the past week (Hence the “No reply sitch”) Boom. Tickets for Paramore.



I literally Jumped around the house screaming the lyrics of “NOW”

“If Theres a future I want it NOW!!!”


I was so damn happy. Any kind of ticket would do. just to see my favorite band play for the second time.


The Day itself:

Woke up early. It was my sisters Prom Night. So theres too much excitement in the house that day. I Sms’ed my friend  and he said He’ll go claim the tickets at The Shangrilla.  about 2 hours passed then we went out to bring my sister to her proms venue.(Coincidentally a few minutes away from the Paramore concert venue: THE MOA ARENA) My friend told me that he’d be at MOA by 6pm. 

The goddamn traffic in EDSA never stops. It was Almost 6pm, Im stuck in traffic. Im still not at the venue. 

a few minutes pass and im already in MOA. I called my friend and he told me that he was just about to claim the tickets at the shangrilla, ABOUT TO CLAIM THE TICKETS at 6:45pm Show starts at 8:30pm. Ample time but still nerve wracking considerning the Traffic.

7:00pm The day itself:

He was still in Ortigas (shang) just about to board the MRT. he said that the line was too fucking long. BUT. The big news is the tickets. They Were VIP tickets! VIP 2 Blue to be exact. I was shocked and happy at the same time i was about to explode from feels. But that fact made me even more anxious to enter the arena AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

8:00pm The day itself:

He texted me that he was in Taft station already. NOW im super excited. what an understatement. I was jumping in my mind. I asked my other friend  for updates about the concert since she will also watch it with her sister. I left my mom,uncle and his wife at Mcdonalds  Then i walked/ran towards the arena.


8:30pm The day itself:
I was sitting near the arenas entrance, My other friend was already inside the venue. She told me that Mewithoutyou was already playing their second song. (I even saw them roam around MOA a few mins back) after a few minutes passed then He arrived 2 VIP tickets in hand. BAM IM GONNA SEE MY HAYLEY BABY. We walked towards the Other entrance. I actually wanted to RUN,  


BAM! inside the venue.

I the Mosh pit was a mosh pit already. the opening act was about to play their last song. Which is a good thing since we were late, Texted my other friend so i can see her inside the venue. They were upstairs.
I so freaking psyched, But we were in the back part of the crowd. I cant just stay there, I need to be as close to Hayley as possible. BOOM lights out. Paramore symbol upstage. Its Coming… Told my friend my plan to slowly crawl our way in. He agreed. While jumping to the song “NOW” we were crawling our way in. It was quite successful since before the song even ended we were halfway through the crowd.  Some people were already bailing from the mosh pit. Eh, The mosh isnt for the weak. Its for the true fans who were willing to risk limb for a chance to see their favorite band upclose. Anyway,Second song while pushing our way in, there was a strong push from the right side of the crowd. People (including me) actually fell to the floor. I shrugged it off.The only thing thats keeping me there was my love for the band. By the third song we were already at the front. about 2 people from the barricade. It was the best spot we can get since no one from the front was really moving.

Aside from the intense body pain afterward. It was well worth it. I could do that everyday if it was for Hayley.  


And Now I wait for Parathrilla in Manila 3

I love you @yelyah_williams !

Dug up this badboy. Its still so freakin awesome after 12 years of existence
Its so awesome production of the latest model was only stopped recently
Though it has been replaced with the PS3, Its still a great reminder of my childhood.
It reminds me of the time when 8mb of memory was more than enough!

Fun Fact: If this console was a kid, He’d be a sixth grader!
Permalink 3/365:HEART

This pile of books isn’t a “heart”
They’re not even in the shape of one
But this pile of books is close to my heart
Books are like doors to wondrous adventures and places
And these books have repeatedly brought me to Hogwarts, Panem ,Gotham and may more

I plan to get several more but since im broke… Ya know hahaha
The Lord of the Rings, Perks of being a Wallflower, A Song of Fire and Ice and a bunch of other books
Permalink 2/365:Something New

“Lord of the Rings” Trilogy
This isn’t “New” per se, But it is new to me
If you personally knew me,You know that I am a huge fan of the following:
Harry Potter
BBC’s Sherlock
Marvel Comics/Movies
The Dark Knight trilogy

Basically Iam what you call a “Fanboy”
anyway
Yes,I have seen the “Fellowship of the Ring” when i was seven.
I did not understand the film and it was a tad bit too lengthy for my then seven year old attention span.

I Swore that I will go see the LOTR movies when Iam ready.

And Boy I just did.

All I can say is WOAH

Legolas is awesome. So is Aragorn
