right now i’m gonna post about the Ako Mismo Event. :) i’m kinda sick,, but i wanna do this, you know. so here it goes :)

we arrived at the bonifacio open field at about 2 pm (they said gates will open at 2pm) and when we got there, there were so many people lining up in the dog tag booth. turns ot you need to sign up for a “passport” and there, you can also purchase a dog tag worth php 40. we each had one, and i also bought more for my friends who also wanted the dog tag.

after we got in, there were so many booths that were all about charities and foundations that help people. it was great!

turns out that if you buy any of what they’re selling, including the dog tags, the money will go to foundations and charities.

included in the ako mismo event was a concert that featured filipino bands. they all were awesome! i remember Letter Day Story was the first one to perform. there were still daylight then.

and then other bands started rocking along, like Makopa, Up Dharma Down, Hale, Kamikazee, Bamboo, and Pupil.

between the performances, the hosts were introducing the people behind the foundations. they wanted to thank everyone for the support and the help people gave to them. :D

also, the hosts also interviewed the actors who were included in the ako mismo advertisement.

the event lasted for i think, 5 hours, ending with the pupil performing their songs. and ely buendia surprised all of the people by performing eraserheads’s songs, “Alapaap”. the people gone crazy! the craziness were spread all over and even reaching the exit doors. i mean all people started singing with them, including us, who were to go home. we stopped and sang along.

and after that, we raced to the exit, cause we knew that people will start to go home.

the event ended at about 10 or 11 pm i think. yeah. it was exhausting, but it was a blast!

it was awesome, the event. and i got a dogtag that everyone wanted :D

phew! that was exhausting!

yesterday was the Pussycat Dolls concert in MOA and i gotta tell you it’s a blast! despite of there being very very hot and you have very very little space to move, people, including us, were off the heat! xD

it was nearly 5:30 pm when we got to the concert grounds of SM MOA. and by that time, there were nearly loads of people. when i meant nearly, i meant that people are still “few” but many to… count. :)
but even though we got the silver tickets, we still have to suffer because there was no chairs for us, and we only have to stand up to see them. too bad for most of us, our height was not helping either.

but thankfully, the concert was not “Filipino Time”. it started at exactly 8 pm. but, the first 45 minutes was spent for the opening act and a 15 minute break.

finally. they showed up.

they had performed many hit songs like “I Hate This Part”, “Don’t Cha”, “Stikwitu”, “Jai Ho”, and “When I Grow Up”. my list of songs is incomplete cause i don’t know some of their songs.


a video of them performing their version of “Jai Ho”

anyways, after 4 and a half hours of pain of my legs, hotness due to the many people, and a wonderful and enjoy time, the concert was finished. even though it was exhausting, i can say that the concert was a success. :D
after all, even though all the people suffered, they still managed to sing along :D
after the concert, my family, along with my cousin and tryxzy, ate at mcdonalds cause really, we didn’t ate dinner. xD

oh yeah. i’ll post the “ako mismo” event tomorrow. it’s a blast too! :D (i got my dog tag yeepee! :D)
