Bazooka Birthday Weekend


Let me start off by stating that this is , (yet again) another uber late post.. lol.

Heck I try to be consistent but I have been ridiculously busy that I barely have time to get online the last few months. I am trying to take advantage of this one week freedom though...( Yay to VLs that i almost didnt get!) hence the semi-flooding blog posts :D


My birthday falls on the 27th of August and I think it was extremely amazeballs that Bazooka Rocks II took place just 2 days before my birthday! -Thank you PULP!- This year's line up made me freakishly giddy too! The list had a number of my international faves such as All Time Low, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, A Rocket To The Moon (which was , btw, the last show of the guys in Manila :( ) Radio Drive By and many others like We Came As Romans, Tonight Alive, Anberlin and amazing local acts such as Save me Hollywood, Mad Hatter Day etc...

A day before the show, Me and my gals went to Mall of Asia for the m & g sesh, Some of my friends who had themselves booked asap scored royalty passes but bcos we didn't made it in time to get us m&g's we settled at some spot where we can see them entering the venue upclose to atleast say "Hi'. Got a bit of a luck cos we did see them walking by..We didn't get too close though , With the number of securities they had, We couldnt risk our luck, Just too scared, they'd beat the crap out of us haha :P

Everything worked out in the end though! We got to hang out with TA a bit, Met the lovely guys of RDB a night before and "during" the show who all hugged and wished me a Happy Birthday! I even got a postcard c/o bff Dezzy with these guys writing me a HBD! Evan from RDB also pinky-swore that they're coming back which was quite sweet! We also met Anberlin's lead vocalist and I got possibly the "GREATEST" fan pic you could imagine with my most fave RJA ever - Joey Westwood ! I also "swapped" shirts with "Eversay" and Ronnie Winter's friend/entourage Jesse Carroll who hang out with us , and Nadeem from Skesh Ent, their uber cool Asian tour manager! Both stayed about an hour or 2 chitchatting with me and 3 of my friends (Dezzy, Myra and Cherry) on the streets of Manila to one of the most inspiring conversations I ever had my entire "fangirling" life ! Thought it was amazing how they were both super down to earth! I've learned so much just by talking to them :) Jesse also made me these 4 page list of bands I should listen to, had me watch one of their tracks on Youtube called This Time (Ronnie Winter is the drummer!) which is really a big favorite of mine now! I remember apologizing for being "where we were" at that moment afraid that we might be disturbing them in any way but they were nice enough to say that they could totally get where we are and Had it been their choice , They'd get us past security! I love how they kept saying that they are just like us and how they told me I look between 24 or 25 haha! We were gonna take some photos when Jess saw my Forever 21 shirt which had Jim Morrison from The Doors face printed on it and begged (literally) to swap shirts with me. Its crazy how he never cared that I was wearing it, He just got to have my shirt! lol. He went up and got me a clean shirt to swap with and I didn't realize just how serious he was until he took his shirt off and wore mine unwashed. Crazy dude lol ..Truth is, The shirt isn't so bad. I actually kind of liked it! =)

Nadeem also handed us all A "Scarlet Heroes" CD and loved every track! Everyone reading this, You should hear "Rock n Roll Juliet"..You'll love it for reals!!! 


Anyway sharing some photos! Please G+ or share if you love pls! =)
