Well, to be fair, Mac, it's not just the Philippines.
Religious - as well as secular - idiots are everywhere, fugitives from the bottom of the human gene pool.
But as a silver lining to all this hysterical hand-wringing, Our Lady of the Gaga loves loves loves Ma-Ma-Manila over the bad romance of Ja-Ja-Jakar-taaaahhh.
I was there because the only other thing I had scheduled for the night was watching paint dry. Of course, had I known you'd be there, too, things might've turned out very differently.
But never fear: we'll always have NKOTBSB (One Night Only, June 3, P13,000 Patron Area).
In all seriousness Ruddie, please do tell me you're not actually serious. . . NKOTBSB???!!!! As in the "New Kids on the Block & Back Street Boys?" Is this another effect of global warming? Gosh. Haha. . . Alright, alright. I'll wait there at the Lower Box should the stars align themselves once more. Haha.
At least, I was. Initially I recoiled upon reading that the next gig at the Arena was this unholy alliance of Not-So-New-Not-Quite-Kids-Anymore-On-The-SM-Block and Backdoor errr Street Not-Quite-Boys-Anymore. But upon further thought, my hetero friends and I imagined it might be fun, in a not-altogether-unironic sort of way, to relive the Velveeta goodness of the 90s, if only for just this one night.
We had it all figured out: we'd actually invest good money for the mosh pit, because we wanted to unfurl banners that shrieked "A.J. We LOOOOVEEEE YOU!!!!" and "Westlife Sucks Donkey Balls!" We figured the investment was worth it for the off-chance that we might achieve some dubious internet stardom via "Grown Filipino Men Weep and Wail Like High School Girls at NKOTBSB Concert: End of World Truly Near."
Alas, upon checking my calendar, I shall be in Patpong once more on what would've been that legendary night, so I fear it shall not come to pass.
I have a very vivid memory of your Barebacking Street Boys, hahaha. I danced to their "Get down, get down and move it all around" when I was a first grader in my baggiest of pants and loose shirt, gelled hair. . . Your "evil plan" of an investment should feed the hunger of media people like mefor stories like that. Haha. Too bad. Too bad I go for Westlife. . . Since you'll be in Bang-cock, how I wish you'll get me something, a keychain or some sort. Not because I'm too much of a "feelingero" to ask, but because remember you promised an Eiffel Tower keychain before :p
You were in GRADE ONE when "Get Down" came out!?!?!
Merde.
Westlife was just the first competing boy band's name that came to mind. In hindsight, it should've been "O-TOWN SUCKS DONKEY BALLS!!!", except O-Town never got anywhere near fame.
A Thai tchotchke, you say? No prob. As for the Eiffel Tower keychain, I did say that you can have your pick of whichever keychain engel/gillboard didn't pick here.
Only 'coz he has first dibs, having been the one to ask first :D
What's so surprising about that? Yeah I was in Grade 1 going Grade 2. I remember it was for the Recognition Day because I still have the pictures. Haha. . . Tchotchke will do, anything. I won't mind actually so long as it's from you. *grins* F*ck. This comment as it turns out is the kick-off of the effin' NKOTBSB cheesefest! Urgh!
Hahaha!

Still can't get over the fact that I had the chance of seeing you there. Urgh!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww so sweet, db.

But you were there to see Gaga.

I have to pay P13, 000.00 just to see you? *sigh* Guess I really have to go extra miles just to see you. :p
DeleteOA ka, hahahaaha!
DeleteBesides, 13 is such an unlucky number.
Also, I'd really love to watch the cheesefest that is NKOTBSB, but alas, I'll be out of town on that night of nights.
*sigh*
In all seriousness Ruddie, please do tell me you're not actually serious.

DeleteOh, nothing. It's just that my pubes were already well-grown by the time that song went on MTV.
Aherm.
And as for cheese...dites, fromage, fromage!
