Michael Learns To Rock in Manila 2015
Michael Learns To Rock went back to Manila last September 19, 2015 to have a one night show at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Luckily, the show was one of our company's project so I get the chance to see and work for the show.
So I decided to invite my parents to see the show because I want them to experience the life and to see how I am doing in work. I asked my boss, Daniel, for tickets. God blessed me the best bosses in the world and he approved 5 tickets for my parents and my cousin Paolo and his 3 friends. He always makes me kulit regarding his MLTR tickets. My parents was soo pabebe that morning, pabago-bago ng isip kung sasama o hindi.
My call time at Araneta was 4pm. I was worried if I was able to watch my favorite Kalyeserye because the episode will be Aldub's first date. I was thinking of leaving the house after the show but that would be a bad idea because the show ends at 3pm. I can't travel from Cavite to Cubao in just an hour. So we left home at 2pm and just watched the show with my Daddy's TV phone. PRAISE GOD FOR TECHNOLOGY!
During the travel I didn't mind the traffic. I was so focused with the episode hindi ko napansin naka tengga pala kami sa coastal for an hour! I thought heavy traffic doesn't exist whenever Kalyeserye's airing. But what was that? It was already 3pm and we still haven't reach the traffic capital of the world. I pretend relaxed to show my parents that I'm not panicking but I was praying to God na paabutin ako ng Araneta in time! 3:15pm we already got in EDSA. 45mins left for me! I switched places with my Dad whom I ask to drive while I watched Kalyeserye. Driving in EDSA gets me nervous because I hate gitgitan. But driving in EDSA with the parentals is more frightening than a clown prank, I swear!
Thank God we arrived in Araneta in time - well not really, you know that thing called grace period? Yeah. Daniel was calling me already, I couldn't answer him because I was driving. So I just told my dad to text him that we're just looking for parking. Luckily the parking area was just a walking distance to Araneta's South Gate where the staff's entrance located.
So I met with Daniel there and he's talking with our local promoter's staffs asking for something. Then we went inside to get me an ID. We discussed what needs get done for the show. I also introduced him to my parents because they're waiting at the Red Gate where Daniel and I were discussing. Nothing much to do for us before the gates open so I decided to watch MLTR's soundcheck rehersal cause I'm sure I wouldn't be able to see the show. Their rehearsal run for a good hour and it was so magical that leads me back to the memory lane. Plus a friend of mine texted me after weeks of not communicating and we did some catching up that made it feel more special. hihihi! I was ranting to him how hungry I was and for sure I won't be able to eat until I finish work *rolls eyes*. Anyway. It's a crime taking pictures and videos during the artist's soundcheck rehersal but yeah, I'm a badass staff so I snapped some shots.
I started working at 6pm. I told my parents to go inside and I'll be the one to hand over my cousin's tickets. The night was soo long all I did was dealing with people, texting and update my social media while working. During my social media update, Daniel caught me taking pictures and teased me "Ahuh! You're updating, huh!" then smiled at me. Geez, this guy should be illegal in our country :> There's also a special delivery for me during work. Shems! Pangarap ko talaga dalhan ako ng pagkain sa trabaho, seryoso! I didn't expect it. Naglalambing lang ako, tinotoo naman! Thank you.
My work finished at 9:30pm. I said my goodbye to Araneta guards whom I made friends during work time. I also shared them my doughnuts because it's too madami I couldn't finish all of them. Good thing the show was still on it's half time so I was able to see it for an hour, I think. Thank you again Lord for 2 front act artist! MLTR sang their greatest hits during the second half. It is more magical than what I experience during the sound check because, of course, it's different with lots people singing along with these legends. I was sitting alone somewhere at the patron section. It's actually my one of my life goals to watch a concert alone. But it feels different! I want that checklist to be with my favorite artist and I'm not working. Nakakahiya kaya magfangirl tapos makikita ka ng mga katrabaho mo!haha. So mejo controlled yung pagkanta at pagsigaw ko noon :p
The show was awesome. As far as I remember, they ended the show wih one of their hit songs "That's why you go". Jascha, Kare and Soren collectively known as the legendary Michael Learns To Rock still proved their legacy on their one-night show in Manila. It was so superb!! I am so happy and blessed to be part of this project.
After the show, I went to see my family and we took pictures, of course. Cease the moment! Mejo nakakadisapoint lang yung quality ng pictures. Tsk! Minsan lang ito eh.
Before we left Araneta, I bid my goodbye to Daniel. I also talked to his dad which is the real boss of the company. He's not based in Manila kasi so Daniel stands as my boss here in Manila. We had small talks regarding work. Sir Nigel is a really really nice guy! I don't get intimidated by him. It was nice talking to him that night.
On our way home, my parents asked me about the show, our next projects and Daniel. I knew that would happen. They asked a lot of things about him and it almost annoyed me. Nagwapuhan siguro sila, malamang!haha. Before we went home, we decided to go on a drive-thru to have our late dinner. My little sister who was soo pabebe waiting at home asking for a take-out. During our late dinner we discussed about the show and what my mom did during the show. My Dad was making kwento about my Mom raising her Nokia touch-and-type phone while taking videos in the oceans of smart phones.hahaha! She also asked my dad to take a picture of her standing in front oh her seat. We laughed all night at the dinning. My mom was so pikon she left us and just watched news on tv.
The experience was soo joyful! I never thought I would be able to enjoy a show with my parents. I actually want to invite my friends so I have the assurance of enjoying the show. But the night was beyond enjoyment! Praise God for the work He has provided me that I may able able to share it also with my loved ones.
IN ALL THINGS,
GOD SHOULD ALWAYS BE GLORIFIED
