May 30 '08. a Friday. I thought it was just another sluggish day... one of those days when I choose to be inefficient by sleeping all morning and all afternoon, waking up occasionally only to get something to eat. Good for me coz little did I know, later that night, I wasn't getting any sleep at all.

That afternoon, I awoke from my sweet slumber at 4:00 p.m. and found a couple of messages on my phone, one of which is from my friend Ivan (better pronounced as Ayban) reminding me about that night's big agenda. OMG. I totally forgot. THURSDAY (for those who might be confused, 'Thursday' IS the band name), one of the bands I happen to worship was visiting Manila and their Makati show was scheduled that night (you'll find a line about this event on my recent post, just scroll down a bit and you'll see it). One reason why the event totally slipped off my mind was that I've already discarded any thought of ever being able to attend it days ago when I asked my mom once if I could go and her immediate and predictable answer was NO. But still, there was this pressing feeling within me which kept on telling me I wasn't supposed to lose hope. Ivan wasn't helping either, he bombarded me with nagging text messages, one of which goes something like:

I panicked. There I was, a kid whose brain is not functioning well from all that sleep, with less than 5 hours before the show starts, province/s away from the venue and not enough money to even buy a concert ticket and a bus ride home. The idea of even taking a shower and packing my things to go there was absurd and ridiculous.

But to make the long story short, 30 minutes later, I was on the road to Thony's house to wake him up (apparently he was having a sluggish day too) and tell him we're going to Manila to watch Thursday, a band which he never even knew existed until then. He was furious at first (biglain ba naman ang bagong gising hehe). But being the supposed-to-be understanding boyfriend that he is, he had no choice but to come with me.

BTW, don't ask how I got away from my mom and got the money. I happen to be brilliant when under pressure. lol.

At around 7:00 pm, Thony, Ivan, Ivan's girl, and I hopped on a bus and our journey began. (Grr. ang dami ko nang nasulat pero nagsisimula pa lang ang journey. Tinatamad na ata ako. hehe.)

We reached Makati at 9p.m. We had to do a great deal of walking before a cab finally picked us up from the street (thank u very much!). When we got to the A-Venue Hall (the venue), the show has already started, but only with the first front act which was April Morning Skies, immediately followed by Angulo.

The crowd became more excited when Chicosci took the stage. Thony and I had a funny discovery that night: that we both have a crush on Miggy, Chicosci's vocalist. Wahaha. Kidding aside (or maybe I'm not kidding hehe), I thank Chicosci for playing 'Paris', one of my favorite songs from them. After their set, Typecast followed. I don't remember hearing them play any of my favorite Typecast tracks but I still like them anyhow.
