clearly, i was not happy the last time i posted. exams were on going and i still didn't have tickets to patd.
BUT NOW.
exams are over and i got to go to the concert! i went with mikka, my unofficial "concert buddy". we were nearer the stage this time than at the FOB concert. it was so much fun. the opening act was pretty cool, a band called "crowned king". that's something new. their songs reminded me a little of red jumpsuit but they do have a distinct sound. probably because of their trombone. the singer's voice was also good. album quality, at most.
panic at the disco was so awesome. they played a lot of their songs so i feel the concert was worth every peso. here are the other reasons why i think it was worth going out on a school night:
- they had choreographed lights
- there was a big screen behind them showing misc graphics
- brendon's voice was amazing
- they interacted with the crowd a lot
- they made me like them even more!
to be honest, the patd concert was
10x 5x better than the fob one. i love fob but patd was more entertaining. they actually dressed up. fob was in shirts and jeans. sigh. i guess patd exerted more effort.
whichever. i love both bands and i'm so fortunate to have seen them perform live. i sang along to every song i knew. too bad i didn't know all of their songs. i felt like a student who didn't do her homework. i WANTED to sing along to every one of their songs. damn. school work stopped me from drilling all the pretty. odd. songs into my brain. as of now, the drilling is in progress.
the concert was so much fun. being there with mikka was also so much fun. my brother deserves a special mention for being our driver. he didn't have to but he serviced us to and from the concert. thank you, dear brother. i got a poster as a souvenir. i had to take down my harry potter poster to make room for the patd poster. haha. someone's growing up.
mikka took lots of video and i took lots of pictures to forever cement the moment in history. sigh.
we got there at 6:30 pm so we had time to get dinner and wander around gateway. we ate japanese food. i had the effin' gyudon. i was not aware that there would be raw egg involveed. ugh. should have looked at the picture more closely. after dinner, we stopped by fully booked. (excuse the shift in language) himala ng himala! merong The Bell Jar ni Sylvia Plath. pagkatapos kong maghanap ng buong miyerkules sa lahat ng bilihan ng libro, nasa cubao lang pala ang solusyon sa lahat ng problema ko sa term paper para sa english! (back) so i bought the book for a whooping P558. dayum. it was pricey. it better be good.
I would just like to commend Fully Booked for stocking The Bell Jar. I have burned down the phone lines tracking it down in other book stores. Thank heavens you guys still have it in stock. You have saved me and my partner from the old english of Jane Eyre (no offense to Charlotte Bronte). Congratulations, Fully Booked. You are now my favorite bookstore.
since we're in the subject of school anyway, i have three important things to do over the long weekend:
- religion - prayer service (First Commandment)
- english - read book for term paper (The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath)
- filipino - make my monologue (Elias)
i have to get those three things done. when those assignments are done, i can rest. seriously.
ok. i'm going back to Pretty. Odd.
bye!
*oh! i forgot to tell you about the exams. we have all of the results with us. i did ok on most of them. my worst three subjects are advanced algebra, filipino, and religion (worst-bad). hopefully what i did was enough to make the grade. wahhh!
