The 1975 Concert

My friend, Tiffany and I met at Mall of Asia an hour before we headed to the event location which is the MOA Arena. We made some catching up by eating dinner together and chitchatting about college stuff. :D

I expected that the entrance for the arena would be hectic and that there would be a lot of people screaming but it was actually a little less crowded than we thought; maybe because we arrived half an hour earlier. When we were finally  inside, we instantaneously searched the area where our seats were located. I actually didn't know where our seats are located because I wasn't the one who bought the tickets and everything. Later on, I found out that our seats were at the front row of the Patron section, which was just a few feet from the VIP section and the actual stage where the band will be performing. I was beyond excited since this was my first legit concert! ♥

The concert was expected to start at 8:00pm but that didn’t go as planned. It took about 45 minutes to an hour before the band appeared on stage. It wasn’t boring though because upon arriving at the arena, there was already a DJ playing some remixes of songs whilst the concert goers were searching for their seats.

When we noticed that people were already filling up the front row of the VIP section even though they were not part of it, we decided to go there as well because it had a better view. The chairs lined up were no longer for sitting when the band appeared. Everyone, including my friend and I, stepped on the chair to have a better view! xD

This is the first part of the list of songs that they performed. When they finished singing their hit “Girls”, Matty quickly said “Bye” and the band disappeared to the backstage. I already searched the internet for their set list beforehand so I knew that they had an encore performance. Although, a lot of people around us where doubting if they’re coming back to the stage because they didn’t know about the encore performance. It took a few minutes before the band went back to the stage again but before they did, fans started screaming “We want more!”  It became louder and louder until everyone was saying it. Just when my friend and I decided to join them in shouting those words, it changed. It became “We want ‘Sex’!” pertaining to another of their hit songs called “Sex”.

Encore:

17. Medicine 

18. Robbers 

19. Chocolate 

20. Sex 

It ended with each of the band member throwing things for the crowd to catch. Namely, drumsticks and guitar picks.

Random January Vlogs

Some random video diaries this month! We actually only have two! We started making vlogs so that when we get older, we can go back to the past and reminisce all the crazy and fun things that we did! Enjoy watching! :D

Hair Dye All You Can - January 7, 2015

We spent the whole afternoon playing table tennis and having our hair dyed. We're that crazy kids who wanted to dye our hair for so long but we can't due to high school policies! And now that we're in college, no one can stop us anymore! Hahaha! Bianca decided to have red highlights, Kiwi went for a dark brown, and AJ wanted a blue hair! Unfortunately, AJ's hair didn't turned out to be blue. It became dark brown instead! What do you expect from a cheap hair dye? Haha! Nothing to worry about because we might redo his hair this Friday or next week! :D

Sporty Saturday - January 17, 2015

We actually did not decide to film today but we had our camera ready for blog purposes. We brought it to take pictures of what we got in our makeup shopping haul! Initially, we watched a movie entitled Oldboy. It's a very crazy movie. You need to watch it if you love twists and mysteries! And then we played Patintero, a Filipino traditional game wherein you need to block the person who's trying to run until the end or finish line. We also played other unnamed games because AJ brought a tennis ball! And then we played Monopoly Deal afterwards! :D

Christina Grimmie in Glorietta

Just a week before today, MMI Live announced Christina Grimmie's mall tour with the partnership of Ayala Malls! She will be going to Alabang Town Center, Glorietta and Trinoma this weekend! Who would want to miss Christina Grimmie in Manila? Since we're frands of Christina even before she joined the sixth season of The Voice, we really wanted to meet her closely and personally! The show was actually open to public, but if you want to be closer to her then you have promo options to choose from. First 100 CD buyers gets a signing stub! We went to Glorietta at 8am since we wanted to get the limited stub. They didn't really start selling CDs at 10am, they just gave us a meet and greet stub for us to show it once we're going to purchase the CD. The show is not until 7pm thereby we got plenty of time before meeting Christina! We grabbed some food to eat and continued the unfinished fan art drawing! :D

Photography by Kiwi

Camera used was Canon SX50 HS

We immediately went back in the Activity Center by 4pm since we didn't want to be left out, passes will be forfeited 30 minutes before the show. We already know that the show will start later than the said time. Totally understandable since the team will be traveling from Alabang to Glorietta. It was also raining cats and dogs ergo there was traffic going on! We were allowed to enter the closed part of the area by 6:30pm and we waited for about an hour before the show started! The crowd went wild and all cameras went up as soon as it was announced that only few minutes to go and then Christina Grimmie will be appearing on stage! Finally! Extremely spazzing because of excitement! :D

These were only our well captured moments during the show! Hope you enjoyed these photos and give credit to our blog in case you'll share them! Christina sang about 8 or 9 songs like Tell My Mama, Must Be Love and Over Overthinking You! There was an interactive performance of Absolutely Final Goodbye, she would point the microphone to a certain part of the crowd and they would have to sing or scream "goodbye"! Our all time favorite which is the title of her second album and The Voice audition song was performed by Grimmie! She also sang some of her older songs from her first album like Advice and Liar Liar which she mixed with Titanium! Utterly love it when she shares a short story about the song she'll be singing for us! The last sentence was a tongue twister! Hahaha! We really had a blast even though the long waiting was tedious! Absolutely worth it! We enjoyed meeting and chatting with Christina even if it was just a short moment! Hoping to meet her again when she comes back here! Team Grimmie Rawks! ♥
