First and foremost, I am not a fan of 11:11 nor one of those who are musing nonstop about the date yesterday (11/11/11). I, too wonder what's so special about it aside from the fact that it is 11-11-11 literally.Well, credit to tumblr I was fed by the idea that you are supposed to make a wish whenever you catch the clock strikes 11:11. The science behind it? Clueless, I am. Nonetheless, let me share the same feeling with those people who went extra mile and effort in celebrating such a date.
In 7 days, Jay and I marks 3 years of being together. We were thinking of something we could do to make it more special sans the usual things we do like dinning out, movies, etc. We (or I for that matter) actually have a bucket list in mind. Things that we promise to do/ try/ experience together. Having crossed out some of the options from that list that we love to do this year but are not too possible, I finally considered watching a concert. I browsed the ever reliable net for schedules near our day and voila!
Side A is a childhood memory. I would listen to my brothers' Cassette tape and CD of their album and totally enjoy their music. I thought this is a perfect way to spend the day and count as a pre-anniversary date. Though it wasn't shown on our exact day we didn't mind. It does not matter when even ordinary day is special when you are together. Chos. hahaha. Baduy.
Moving on to the concert proper. Man, was I so amazed. Sorry first timer ako. hahaha. It was both our first time to see a concert so that was really something. The show started more than an hour late. Good thing that Banchetto thing didn't push through or else we wouldn't catch it. It was so hair-raising hearing Joey of Side A and Martin Nievera's voice live! I swear I kept on biting my lips (I tend to do that when I get so amazed I can't do anything about it)! I ready my phone to record some of my favorite songs being sang live! OMG lang the voice talaga.
Good decision to record this part! Medley of my favorites! Goosebumps all the way!
Anne Curtis and Sara Genronimo were the guests as they all celebrate the 30th anniversary of ViVa. Anne made a duet with Joey and it was hilarious! She's so pretty, anyway. hahaha. Sara singing Someone Like You by Adele was definitely a hit. The girl is undeniably vocally blessed.
During the latter part of the show it became upbeat. Singing songs of Pitbull, Maroon 5 and others while asking everybody to get up and dance! So others thought it's the end. I was kind of disappointed because they haven't sang Forevermore yet and I have been looking forward to it the whole time. I was still hoping they would switch to mellow again and that that is how they are going to end it. Man, I swear I got over kilig when the lights went dark again and Jay told me "O, ayan na." I am slow at music, you know. No matter how much I love a song I don't get familiar with their intros so I didn't recognize it. Jay still has to tap me and remind me this is what I have been waiting for. Grrrr. I don't sing, not when there are people around nor even with Jay but OMG I can't help it. I could melt, seriously.
Infinite.
It was such a lovely night. 11-11-11 indeed was a special day. Thank you, Buds!hihihi
And what a better way to end it? Through this, of course:
Hahaha. I haven't tried this since I was one-digit old.
How did your 11-11-11 go? Hope you had a blast too!
Bisou,
Raine
