LEiGS - Our destinies are always entwined, they never cross...

These are the only pictures I got though I recorded a lot of videos during the concert and I accidentally deleted 2 pictures, one of which is a good shot of AJ. But I was very blessed to get that close. I already posted these pictures in a BSB forum so I just posted the thumbnails.

I'm writing this anecdote for the scrapbook I'm making as a memorabilia of the concert. I've read and heard a lot which I wasn't able to witness. Things they saw and I haven't, places they've been where I haven't gone to where special things happened. Thank God for the PC! When BSB last went here we don't have the computer yet, just imagine: the diehard fan is a misfit. Thank God also for the CABLE TV. Somehow, I was on track.

Mania or fever, got them both. I have spent half of my life time loving them, and I still am loving them. True love conquers distance and time. What about that?! Dreaming about them is suffice to fill my life with love and inspiration. Now, who needs a boyfriend when I got five. Haha! I'm serious. I don't wanna think that I haven't actually attracted anybody, of the opposite sex's attention but I couldn't really care much about that when The Folks of my Fanstasies are enough to accompany me and stay with me throughout my lifetime.

I love how loving makes me feel,
And I love how loving you feels real,
Through the good, Through the bad,
When I'm happy or sad,
I'd rather be loving you than anything else in the world

Now I have a big problem, I want to print all of the concert pictures I've gathered for my scrapbook. Man! 2006 is giving rushes, one after the other. But Feng Shui says that this years a good one for accumulating wealth. Haha! Money-Money-Money!

I just pray that they'd come back. Heaven, I call upon you again. Please don't let this be the last. I am writing a letter for them to give when they come back. I hope, I wish they'll be back. I'l be the first in line to buy the tickets to get as close and get that Weird World membership and meet and greet them. I'm doind now what I do best, wait. I've endured a decade, what will stop me for waiting another decade. Forever's not enough... NAMAN!? But I really mean this, straight at TAGOS from the heart.

Tagline to close this is:
FOR THERE IS IN ALL THE WORLD, NO GREATER LOVE THAN MINE...

Just can't get enough...

Hangover is the word for it. I want more! I can't get over January 20th. They've gotta come back again and I'll be there AGAIN when they do but more prepared. Again and again and again... Argh! I've collected pictures from the other fans who were there and I'll print it all together with my own set of pictures and I'll be capturing from the videos I shot. I was crying last night. I want them to come back and I'll make up for what I missed last Friday. I have to prepared this time. I'll buy my own video camera, I'll buy my own digicam, I'll buy my own ticket and I'll find ways to meet and greet them. And I'll be buying a gift to throw on stage. Haha!

It's burning within me. I don't know what to say! Thoughts of them keep running in my head.

Grabe! Ang daming laman ng isip ko pero di masabi lahat! Can't find the right words to say...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

When you come back, I'd still be here...

Before I proceed, I wanna share what they wore: AJ wore this black shirt with a skull, Nick is in teal, Brian wore red, Howie is in brown but not sure I remember well and Kevin is in white.

* They never broke my heart when they sang I'll Never Break Your Heart. There was a suave dancing. I love the coat!

* Happy Birthday, Sammy. He's a part of the Backstreet Band but I forgot which instrument. AJ lead the singing of the Birthday Song. Aw, my sweet Alex.

* Rock 'n' Roll seems to be what Nick's about. He said he wanted to learn how AJ does his singing 'cause it rocks. I don't know what you call it when you put mineral water in your mouth and spit it out like fountain and he did it twice. He did it better than Triple H does it in WWE. Oh, yeah! Some were shouting BASTOS but I don't really mind. Water with Nick's saliva is like water from heaven for me and the other girls there. It's like getting a sticky-sweet kiss from Nicky. Then they sang Just Want You To Know. He's at the guitars again.

* They went up again for Crawling Back To You. I would never crawl away from them though I almost have when I thought they were never coming back.

* After that came Drowning but Alas! This was the time that I started cutting the shoot because I ran out of phone memory. I've deleted almost everything I possibly can but just ain't enough. It must feel good to hear the audience sing along with your music. I can imagine myself being on that same stage with them. Aww...

There was this record of the song I don't recognize. I don't remember. Heck! I promise this will never happen again when they come back.

They disappeared again. Then a grand piano and stools were brought out. They came out and Kevin sat to play, Nick went here and there, the other guys sat behind the piano. Araneta sang to the tune of Weird World.

Incomplete no more. I have found the answer to my life. The Boys sang Incomplete with Kevin, still on the piano. Everybody thought this was their last song 'cause they already said goodnight after it. And they disappeared. Lights went off and we we're shouting for more. MORE! WE WANT MORE! The band is still onstage so they definitely aren't done yet.

Then one familiar beat was heard. Keep Moving, moving... They they we're dancing in a bouncy robotics manner. Then it was Everybody. They were dancing with all their sexiness and groove. There was even a I-Say-Oh-You-Say-Ah Thing and I love it. They've proven they'll always be original, sexual [???], they are the only one and they are everything we need. Then lights off and they're gone. We still shouted for more but the dream was over.

I should've have hurried up getting out of the Coliseum. I met up with newly-made Backstreet Friends: Gino, then we met Inee, Sherianne, Sherine who asked if they could have a copy of the vids I took but the file is too big for her phone so asked me to just send it to her by e-mail. We waited for almost an hour but no BSB came out. We saw the crews and staff come out but no sign of them. Then we all went our way.

I wanted to buy a light stick but P100 is way to expensive, I think. I brought some money but there was nothing else to buy. They were selling the NEVER GONE The Videos and HITS CHAPTER ONE Tour Edition but I didn't have enough money. *Sigh*

There was no fancy costume change and special effects but their presence alone made it a hit. The venue was not full but there were enough audiences to fill the Coliseum with screams and shouts. It was my first time to ever go there, it's my first time to watch a major concert, it was my first time to see foreign artists in person and luckily, it didn't end up as a LEiGS in the Big City Adventure. Kumpleto na ang kalahati ng buhay ko. I may have missed and even forgotten a lot of details about the concert but my heart and soul definitely remembers it well. The heavens heard and answered my prayer with a big YES! Things are gonna be better. I promise I'll be ready when they come; I'll be the first to know, the first to buy... I pray they'd come back again... and again... and again... 'Cause I will never trade that moment for all in the world. And I was thinking of going big time: A date with them on my birthday, orr meeting them backstage, or having them booked for me to jam with... Hmmm... Ambitioius, huh? Yeah, but I got the right person to help me with that but things have to take time so I can make my move. That will be the greatest things that can happen to me. I call upon the heavens, the stars, the angels, Soul of the World guide me again...

Guest who kept the BACKSTREET PRIDE alive?

Last night THEY saved my life...

They found me and took me... AWAY! They were here and I was there where they were. I'll forget whatever took place before the concert [May nakatabi na naman akong maniac sa MRT, Potek talaga 'yang MRT na yan. Malas!] but there's no way taking away the happiness of last night's dream. There they were, right infront my eyes. I was counting 10 then every minute I was advancing nearer up the front of the aisle of Araneta. I wanted to cry when I came in front of the Coliseum and Perfect Fan was playing. I was overwhelmed and overjoyed. It was my first time to watch a major concert, my first time to go to Araneta Coliseum and for the first time in my entire life I have laid eyes on the Men that has always been the subject of my dreams. I woke up this morning to a such beautiful dream but I wished it never ended.

Having gotten myself a Patron seat, it still wasn't good enough though I felt rich having sat with foreigners and, obviously, rich people. My seat was almost at the backmost part of the patron box. I even saw Jolo Revilla at the side and this personality up front who looks like Douglas Quijano but not him. I forgot his name. As expected, the show started late but I was informed the Boys were already there as early as 4pm. Whenever someone shows up the stage, like the band who will play the instruments, everybody screams. Haha! I took a picture of the empty stage to show how far I was from the stage but I had to delete it because I ran out of phone memory. Nobody lent me a good camera. *Sigh* I'm not gonna share my picture to them! Haha! Though I did share some of the pictures to other fans thru bluetooth. But I didn't give everything away. No way! I even, by accident, deleted the picture I took of my newly-bought ticket. Potek! But I still have the remnants of the Golden Ticket, which was torn almost into half whenever I ask help from the ushers, What the heck! I think that was 9pm when the lights went off, then the screaming grew louder.

Mabuhay! Kamusta ka? Salamat! It's been a decade since I heard those words from them. It's just annoying that ABS-CBN didn't seem to have given them the same reception they gave F4. The concert was one-night only and I think they're only here for less than 24 hours. I just hope they'd come back again.

* They opened the show with The Call. I wasn't able to record that one because of all the commotion and the phone, too, seemed to be in panic. Haha! After the song I had a good shot of their back. The lighting was perfect. Slowly I was working my way up the front near the stage. I was praying, GOD LET ME GET NEAR THEM. By thw way, the stage design of the stage was same as the other concerts they had last year. It was hard to get a good view of them since the crowd was moving everywhere, I can't keep my hand steady. Cellphones, hands and even balloons are everywhere. Lucky were those at the very front because the Boys even posed for their cameras. Heck!

* My Beautiful Woman played and there was even more screaming. I wish my phone could shoot as clear as my eyes can see. They were so true, then and there. I swear I wasn't winking. My eyes are so blessed, my friends would wish they've seen what I have. The distance between them and me is near enough to let my imagination know how it feels like to touch their faces.

* After the two songs, Howie was left in the middle to welcome the people. The rest went up the stairs on the stage to sit then they sang More Than That. They went back down again by the middle of the song.

* Brian's turn. He asked who's got the CDs from the very first to the latest. Then he even asked the audience to sing We've Got It Goin' On. Then called out to Nick and asked if we want to watch nick play the guitar. He opened for Climbing The Walls. Man, Nick has grown bigger than I last saw him in his recent pictures. It actually was a medley with Shape of my Heart. Man, Kevin looks younger than he looks in pictures. Brian is so cute. I hardly noticed Howie because it's either he's on the side or the hands everywhere forbid me to get a good look at him.

* By the way, I remember when the gaps were so no gaps here.

* The One. They danced their way to the hearts of the screaming fans. I don't know what to say.

* The balloons came up. Some two or three girls in the frontmost are waving them. They made shooting for the others behind them harder. I'm already a few feet away. I'd have loved to have pricked those balloons with a nice, sharp needle. Someone from behind me is hysterical, Nick I love you. I love you. I think she's already crying.

* I Still... This is my favorite song off Never Gone. But I was singing along all of the songs.

* I was getting closer and closer as time progresses. By this time I was already at my sacred 2 meters or less. I Want It That Way came up. The hysterical girl behind me went on with her hysteria. You can't blame her. At the end of the song, AJ even sang for the girl's camera in front of him. Argh! I could've been that close, that coul've been me, if they only... Waaah!

* Stools were brought on stage. They sat while they sang Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely. I think more Filipinos love Howie 'cause there were louder screams when he sang his part in that song. There's something missing in my heart but not anymore, no more.

* They disappeared for a moment then came back for Larger Than Life. AJ was in the middle and somehow I got a good view of him. I realized he looked a lot like Bill Goldberg in person. By the way, he's built good arm muscles and sexier now. Howie, throughout the show like he was seducing the audience... Yum! Brian's as wacky as ever. Kevin's cute. I loved what he wore. A sweater, shorts and a cap. Nick is indescribable. I feel like a child in a candy store. With all the sweets before me. Aw!

* They all went back up the stairs. Brian in the middle, the rest by the railing up there. They sang the saddest song in Never Gone, Siberia. That've been the theme of my life lately but nevermind. Hehe.

* They disappeared again. When they came back, they came down from the stairs wearing coats and hats and with different styles of going down the stairs. Brian, of all, stood the funniest. Love Him! The intro to the song was another song but it was actually All I Have To Give. They did that memsmerizing dance routine in the video. O' nga pala... Yan! I forgot what I was gonna right. Later na lang 'pag naalala ko.

Lights off then red lights on. Nick began to sing As Long As You Love Me. The stools were back. I forgot the other gaps where they stopped to say something. I was barely standing on my two feet by that time. On the tip of my toes, neck up and arm too.

Oops... I have to cut it here. The entry may be too long. Read the next post for continuation. Hehe!

They're here!

I've waited days to see them on the news and just now there they are. They've landed and they're probably in a hotel by now. I wonder where they are... For the moment, I'm sticking to Channel 2. They aired them from the airport but I don't remeber seeing AJ. Hmmm... Who cares?! I'll see them tomorrow! I'm going home right after school tomorow. Sigh! I have no camera to bring. That'll be next on my list this year. I hope I can get myself one this year or atleast before I graduate.

Heck! I failed my Sociology last Prelim. Must be my tardiness. Such a shame that someone else had to inform me. Levy texted me this morning. Goodness. It's my easiest (Read: CHICKEN!) subject this sem and I flunked. Haha! I failed my LAN, it's a major subject, but I don't mind. I failed because I added the subject late. I missed a week of class, missed one assignment and one quiz. I saw my grade and I'm sure I can still pass. 60 is flat, I had 54. That'll be as easy as saying SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS. Ahaha! You can't really blame me for not looking forward for that subject. We had no permanent teacher until this midterm. It's so early. It's so far. i know it's my choice to take that subject but I don't usually make decisions without knowing I can do it. Blah! Enough of that!

I went to watch the COS College Day and they held a dance competition between the different departments. It was really fun and I really have to say this in Filipino. Friends, you have to read this:

Ang saya wala akong kasama. Haha! Okay lang. ang tagal bago nagsimula. Mga pasaway na mga teacher! Ahaha! Unang dumating ang Physical Sciences Department at kung hindi ako nagkakamali, nakita ko 'yung mommy ni Andrew. Naka Muslim costume sila with matching ginintuang pamaypay na props. Picture-picture muna sila sa taas. Sa Grandstand kasi ginanap. Naligaw pa nga ako eh dahil sa Gym ako unang pumunta eh College of Liberal Arts pala dun. Nakita ko nga si Sir Ibasco na nakashorts at si Sir Pil na naka-jogging pants... Sporty! Hehe! Ang sarap na ng pagkakaupo ko tapos biglang pinababa kami. Akala ko dun kami sa grounds manunuod, 'yon pala magta-Taebo. Nyek! Mukha akong tanga. Promise. Wala talaga akong energy at power para mag-exercise. Habang nag-eexercise kami saka palang dumating ang Computer Studies Department. Hiphoppers! Ang init talaga sobra. After five minutes, akyat na ko. Sumabay na ko sa mga di tinapos ung Taebo. Ang sabi ba naman nung teacher: 'yung iba daw nagbabayad para matuto ng no'n, ang naisip ko lang: kaya sila nagbabayad no'n kasi gusto nila at kaya di nagbabayad ung iba para kumuha nun eh kasi ayaw nila at di nila kailangan. Potek! Tapos ang dami pang sinabi bago nagsimula pero ayos lang. Balik na kami sa lilim. Nung nagsimula na, aba!, parang Average Joe Dance Contest. May Ilang steps na naiba dun sa PSD pero ung tatlo pang grupo parang iba't ibang interpretation ng iisang dance step at blocking. Haha! Napansin ko lang mas nagshine 'yung mga prof na lalaki kaysa babae. Wala kasing energy. Si Sir Ribo nasa unahan, Award for effort. Haha! hataw eh pero 'di ako natuwa sa sayaw nya. Nga pala, costume nila hiphop talaga with the tie and cap. Polo at shorts ata yun. 'Yung girls nakalayered na blouse at sleeveless. 'Eto na, may sumisigaw ng Doctor sa likod ko. Di ko s'ya kilala eh pero naging teacher s'ya ng mga dati kong ka-block. May dalawang entity na 'di ko kilala. 'Wag na 'yung mga babaeng prof, boys na lang. Si Sir Filio, cuteness! Haha! Di bagay 'yung damit pero sige, pwede na. Si Sir Bertrudez, tabachingching! Hehe! Parang batang mataba na nagsasayaw. Si Sir Amiel, hiphopper ata nung kabataan n'ya. Hehe! carry 'yung damit at ang galing (Ang galing, Ang galing n'yang sumayaw... Hehe!) sumayaw, bagay. Hihi! Ang saya. May pagkain pa. 'Kala ko sa CLA lang may handa kaya lang 'di rin naman ako kumain kasi masyadong madaming taong kakain. kanila na lang 'yun. At pagkatapos ng programa, kung sa'n nanalo ang PSD, dumaan ako ng Gym para maki-CR. Hehe! Mas marami silang pakulo. May mga booth pa at nakita ko si Ma'am De Leon na nagpa-practice ng volleyball. Naman. Then pagkalabas, after a long time, nakakain ulit ako ng ICE CRAMBLE Ube Flavor. Then pagdating ko ng Imus, A series of clumsiness went to place. Nevermind that.

Oh, 'di ba?! Concert na! After tonight's sleep, I'm off to heaven! Weehah!!!
