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
