Every time I check this blog, I am always surprised by how many people still visit this site given the lack of updates in here. I account this to two main reasons: first, me being too lazy to write anything and second, I just don’t know how to write anymore. (In fact, here I am, writing this and fully aware of how much this sucks because I cannot find a way to make this entry interesting).
Anyway, the point of this post is to let you know of what has been happening to me in the past two months that I failed to post anything here. Totally skipping over the personal details of my life, let’s just say everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. One great band after the other played and I knew I have to catch them because now I can afford it. Heh.

First, Death Cab For Cutie.
The first concert I was really excited for the year. I was so excited that together with a couple of friends, we bought tickets a full month before the concert. Then we got tired of waiting for it, the excitement all sucked out of us. So we sold our tickets. Poor life decision, I know.

Next up, The Used and Dashboard Confessional
I’ve seen Dashboard Confessional the first they were here and I was left in awe so I decided to see Chris Carrabba live again because he is so worth the money. I couldn’t care less for the other bands playing also. I don’t even know them. What sealed the deal for me though was The Used. I was really into them, back when I was younger, angrier and pimplier. Besides, I’ve always wondered how Bert McCracken is at a live show. Though I don’t have photos of this night, it was just fun to be part of a crowd and sing along with people you knew were associating the songs with memories of their younger selves. Also, Chris Carrabba was just amazing. He is probably the most talented singer I’ve seen live. He also has this way of singing that makes you feel each line. I guess that what those America Idol judges mean when they say “Sing from the heart.”

And then there was Toe.
There are no words for how awesome this band is. I remember asking the Mogwaiters to let my iPod play at the bar so my friends and I can listen to Toe while drinking. We’ve had conversations about what we would do and parts of our bodies we are willing to sell if ever they come here just so we can watch their concert. And so they did and we were all blown away. I even thought that the stage would give in because of all the energy each band member displayed throughout their performance. One thing is for sure: I would definitely see them again if they come back here.





Krish and I after the mayhem. I was pretty sure everyone around The Fort felt how intense the concert was.

SAY YES SAY YES SAY YES TO TAKING BACK SUNDAY
Last but definitely not the least: Taking Back Sunday. I really wasn’t planning to go because the weekend before the concert, I already spent a good deal of money on a beach trip. I was okay with the idea of not seeing them live and to settle with friends’ stories about how the concert was. Then, Nikki texted me and offered me gold tickets for a thousand pesos less and I said yes. Too bad we we’re on the wrong side of the stage. I couldn’t see John Nolan from where we were.
