I was only going to watch the show to support my bff Dezzy who is *FACT* the biggest This Century fan in the entire world. Yes. I''ll bet my life on that! No one and I mean NO ONE adores Seannieasmuch as Dezzy does (buko much!) lols I have to admit, I wasn't really a fan when we bought the PRpasses 1st week of October ( Yes, Dezzy had to secure our slots :P ) but I cant allow myself to become that awkward person in the audience who doesnt know a line or 2 from any song . I mean I know "Into Your Arms' , the chorus atleast I'd say.. Prolly some songs from Nick Santino's previous band " A Rocket To The Moon" and some songs from This Century that I hear Dezzy singing all the time but that wouldn't make much of a difference ,won't it?.. So I did what I call "extensive reseach" and started looking up their albums , all 3 of 'em, The Maine, This Century, Nick Santino and the Northern Wind only to turn myself a LEGIT fan a week after.
Lets just say, They pretty much invaded my playlist.
They kept me company literally every working night ( my shift starts at 2 am, I knw ryt!? My life is awesome lols ) that I had to endure 2 hrs of long trip to the office. It kind of became my "me time" where I can just quietly enjoy the awesome music to myself on shuffle mode and I excite myself by guessing if my fave track is playing next. lol. All of a sudden It became a part of my daily life.
Anyway, I thought I'd just give a little background about how this "8123 tour" slowly climbed its way to the charts of my heart making it one of the bestest nights I ever have my entire fangirling life! Okay, So on with my story.
I tried filing a leave for the 11th of Jan cos I have somewhat predicted we will have some serious "business" to do but a team mate going to Bora had taken the slot before I could even plot it so Boohoo..Asa pa ko? I had no choice but to head straight to our meeting place (Alabang to QC, imagine!?) with zero sleep , hopping from one ride to another and if it wasn't thrilling enough , I got a text message from Dezzy while I was at the bus that She and my other bff Sheila have met John friggin Ohh at the gym , Gracious goodness of all places! *drools*.. And had a pic already! I think I flew my way to the MRT , I mustve forgotten that I was tired and sleepy. I just had to be there asap. To cut it short, I got there, They had to get out of the place (dont ask why) and we all agreed to go to Dezzy's place which is literally 5 minutes away from the guys so I can take a decent bath, get a 30 minute rest before we meet up with another friend of mine, Meanne who is also going with us.She flew from Singapore just for the show. Yeah . We are craaazy like that lols So we left Dezzy's lovely home, got on a taxi when we got a phone call from Meanne saying that the guys are going to RX at Strata, Of course we immediately advised the driver to change the route and head to Ortigas instead. Nikita was nice enough to let us in including Meanne who went there straight na rin and There they were.. the ever perfect Joel Kanitz, The cutie Nick Santino and My ever drop dead gorgeous John O' Callaghan.. 6 letters.. HEAVEN. Hello, sila lang naman ung mga pinaka peg ko! lols
Joel and Nick left right away after the interview but John stayed to chat a little with the fans. John recognized my 2 friends Dezzy and Sheila so quick and teasingly asked "So, Did you work out!? twice. referring to what happened few hours before at the gym where they pretended they were attracted to the treadmill and not with John Ohh in his gym clothes working it ! Like YEAH, He'd totally buy that! lols..Regardless I was really "kilig" for my friends! For "John O'hh Sexay Callaghan" to acknowledge your existence , Thats like winning a friggin lottery!!! Maybe not quite..but Im sure the feeling is quite the same. *sigh* . Anyway, I knew at that moment He is such a great guy! There were lots of younger girls out there (younger talaga haha..inamin) but he tried to make time even when the people he was with, were sort of rushing him cos they had to go some place. Being that I didn't get my chance of taking a pic with John Ohh. My ever supportive friends were literally pushing me towards him so I cud get a selfie and I was shaking the whole time cos Ive never taken a selfie with a band before. Pasmado kaya ako! I was kind of left without a choice so before John cud hit the glass door, I asked him for a pic and he obliged generously only I was freaking out too much that I suddenly didn't know where to look! Like Helloooo? Buti pa c John alam kung nasaan ang camera ng phone ko.. ako Nalito! Ang wafu kc eh!

| So presenting my first band selfie #epicfail |
We thought about ransacking every dining place set on Ortigas grounds hoping to catch a sight of the other boys cos Dezzie was already freaking out at the thought that she hasn't seen Seannie yet. Stalker lang lols
Si Seannie lang naman kc ang naginspire sa kanya to lose weight. So YES it is a big deal. Not just to her but to all of us na ma meet niya si Sean Silverman. Haba ng hair ni Sean lols
Turns out It was just the beginning of what-would-be one of the bestest nights of her life and ours cos thank you to our God given skills that I cannot publicly disclosed #charaught We met the guys that night except for Joel and Nick but Hey, It took tremendous effort to get things done and we succeeded with flying colors ;)
All of them were uber nice ... and bcos of all that commotion and rushing from RX , I was only able to adore John completely when he was right there in front of me signing stuff for my friends..Yup Stupid me didnt bring anything lol..and Grabe lang, He's got the most beautiful eyes ever EVER! I ain't even kidding... When he looked at me, I suddenly turned Olaf to Anna , I had to stop myself from saying "Some people are worth melting for" haha Fumu frozen lang! I didn't even realize how excited I was, I was half way done with putting a bracelet on when I realized I didn't even ask for permission to hold his hand lol Tengenek lang! haha He didn't mind at all and he was actually being sweet and appreciative and all that crap thats making me smile like crazy right now.. and OMG sobrang kota lang sa kanya kanyang peg. Sheila had this ultimate crush on Ryan and she gave Ry a customized shirt with his last name sewn at the back of the shirt and Ry liked it! He even said he'd wear it before the show. We also bought him a beer and nakipag cheers pa siya samen. He took some time chatting with us and u can tell that he was actually having fun. Tagumpay lang. I was so happy for Sheila! Meanne was bentang benta with The Maine cos she happen to meet them few months before at a show in SG so some of them still recognized her from SG.. and Dezzy , OMG She prolly spent like 20 minutes talking to Seannie and kahit napipikon na si Papa Garrett kc gusto na nya mag sleep at sabay cla bababa supposedly ni Sean , Waley xa choice kc c Papa Sean , sobrang nakatuon lang ang pansin kay Dezzie bear! Tinatagalog ko na baka mabasa nila eh haha .. I cant help but smile whenever I watch them talking haha lalo na kc chill na chill lang c Papa Sean ..I am so genuinely enjoying what I was seeing that I was soo ready to kill anyone who'd attempt to steal Dezzy's moment with Papa S! . I couldn't keep it to myself so I ended up telling Sean, "Youre the only reason why she's here" haha What a bugaw of a friend I am , I know lols. I know some people may hate me for being this kilig for my friend but you have no idea how much effort she exerted to make this dream of her come true..She's like a sister to me so I'm just genuinely happy seeing her so happy :))
So without further ado , sharing some photos from that day!
