Relient K visits Manila

My best friend Dezzy invited me to see Relient K as they play live for Ayala Malls which happened September 27-29 of 2013. I have heard of them before but I admit I haven't really had the chance to browse through their music so I was quite ecstatic seeing them perform live!  My life as a free lance self proclaimed music researcher a.k.a fangirl extraordinaire ( it just sounded more interesting that way! haha ) - I have always been on the look out for music that I could fall madly deeply in love with.I enjoy going to random music fests, concerts and hear all these awesome artists perform live and if i get lucky - meet them and hear their interesting stories. Being that Music is my life since the day I was brought into this world.. I get so much inspiration just watching these artists making their dreams come true..Or just how awesomely they touch peoples lives like they do mine , musically. I mean, I can still remember the first concert I ever went to!!! I still remember how it felt ..I know for a fact that from then on, I was never the same :)


The moment Relient K started playing their first song , I just immediately felt connected with their music. It felt so familiar that some of their songs felt like home. As I watch and listen to these guys perform their songs, I had to question myself why they were never on my playlists! Had I youtube atleast one of their tracks, I know I would immediately become a fan and true enough, I became a HUGE fan before the show even ended. Thank God for bffs like Dezzy who was "alert" enough to provide m & g passes before I could even want it..haha Otherwise I would have died of jealousy if I never get to meet these guys upclose after witnessing their undeniable awesomeness onstage :)


I had to go to work that same night , so I immediately booked a hotel in Ortigas just to be able to watch them again the next day since they'll be up North. At that time they were scheduled to perform live in Trinoma. Since I get off work at 10 am , I figured it'll be convenient to just leave the office and go straight into the hotel so I could catch a few hours of sleep, hit the shower and look a bit decent before going to their show. Luckily the front desk girl who had me booked at Richmonde hotel was nice enough to offer me a discount with breakfast so I already know it was going to be pretty much a fantastic day :) I also get to take another one of my bffs , Ate Myra to stay with me overnight so I wont have to be alone during my stay.

I also got to meet Matt Wilson who tours with the band who I had a major crush on the first time I saw him walking 'round G5! He is super cute!!! Told my friends about it and being the crazy friends/Partners in crime that they are, They proactively asked him to take a pic with me (which I was really embarrassed about by the way) , becau
se he really isn't part of the band WHICH gives away the fact that I just really fancy him!  #soobusted  . He was really a sweetheart though! He was super accommodating and He didn't mind at all! He actually looked happy entertaining us haha  I remember I was standing in front of Uniqlo (G5) which is on the left part of the stage and Dezzy saw Matt standing on the side of the stage kinda close to where we're at and She started saying silly things like having Matt come down  the stage , over to us, so I can take a photo with him. I seriously thought she was just kidding but the next thing I know , Matt is in front of me saying "Hi" and because I was super embarrassed of how obvious it was! I said, You look like my favorite guitarist, Good thing He didn't ask who! Well He did look a bit like Andy Skib tho', with those pretty eyes and all *sigh* Anyways, we saw him again in Trinoma and he was even sweeter then than he was on the previous day! He even gave us his Facebook and made funny faces when we took a photo together. He made me so darn kilig , Syet Na miss ko! lols
