Concert Week

You know that feeling when you're on a natural high? When you're so happy and grateful for everything that has just happened to you? That's kind of how I feel right now. This week was kind of good to me.

It all started last Wednesday when I got to meet up with one of my good friends whom I grew up with in Japan. It was her first time back to the Philippines in 9 years so I had planned for us to get a lot done in one day since she's only here for a week and a half. It was an exhausting day but it was fun. It's always nice seeing good friends and being able to hang out. And I feel like we never ran out of anything to talk about. That's what's so great about your childhood friends. You guys can talk endlessly about everything and nothing and still have a good time.

On Friday, I went to the mall early to try and score tickets to the Cobra Starship show. Unfortunately, when I arrived, there were already tons of people waiting in line and they were only giving away 100 tickets. So I opted to line up for the meet and greet tickets because at least I was guaranteed to meet the band. And I did. Details will have to follow on another blog. Right now, I just feel like summarizing my week.

Then on Saturday, I went to the most awaited concert of the year. And it was the most successful concert to ever hit Manila. The concert was sold out! With more than 80,000 who attended the big event. I was lucky enough to get discounted tickets from the VIP section. If I had a lot of money, I would have paid $200 for the mosh pit, but since I'm not rolling in dough, I opted for the VIP section. Anyway, we got a great spot in the very front of the VIP section. We stood there for four hours until the show started, but I have to say, it was worth it.

All in all, I have to say that I'm extremely happy. I can't believe how much fun I had this week. I'll blog more about the details of each day in the upcoming days. It's been such a whirl wind that I hardly have time to blog. I just really wanted to share how happy I am right now. It's weird. I almost forgot what it felt like.
