..(once more) an amazing performance..On Market! Market!, 23rd Sept, the show was started a little bit early, at 6pm. We (Eliza, Chris & I) got there around 5pm. We were a bit relax this time as the seat was numbered, so we think there’s no point of us waiting in the line couple of hours before the show start. The activity center in Market! Market is a little bit bigger than Glorietta, as there were more stubs given to public. When we got there, few people already inside the area, but lotsa them were outside standing near the fence.
Unfortunately, me & Eliza sat separately with Chris. Yet thankfully he sat only 2 rows behind Yam, Belle & Meg who got in the 1st row. We were pleased knowing that we sat near the stage, so we could get the best shot of him. I was hoping that there’d be some check sound as he did on Glorietta, but apparently, there’s none. Later on, Angelo came and sat together in between me & Eliza.
The show started on time. He was wearing grey vest, the same cowboy hat (I guess..), black shirt, jeans and Converse sneaker. Like Glorietta’s show, he opened the show with “Find a way”. Before he continued to his next song “Train Wreck”, he greeted and waved at people who couldn’t get the stubs and spreaded in all floors just to see his show. I wonder why he didn’t introduce his band member with other song, as like yesterday, in the middle of this song, he introduced Russell, Aaron and Joonie to the audiences.
His third song for the nite was “Moving on” and people also helped him clapping their hands. At this point, I really wanted to stand up and danced but I was afraid that I got boo from the audiences behind me. Well, boo was fine, but got something thrown at me ? Hmmm, not good lah J J J
With no long introduction in each song, there he was singing “Free”, “I’m the man”, “In love with you forever”, “One word” and “Wait for you”. He kinda made people got crazy when he threw his black towel to the audiences while singing “Wait for you”. I wonder who the lucky girl got it, as if I was her, I might not wash it for couple of days until I show it to my friends. Yes, it was full of sweat, but the heck, it’s used by Elliott, huahahahaaa..
His last song for tonite is “A song for you”. It’s pretty funny as after “Wait for you”, they all went back stage and the crowds didn’t even scream his name to show up again. Perhaps only the Yaminoys who shout his name so loud and then there was silence for few minutes, just waiting for him to go back on stage. Finally, he showed up again and sang “A song for you”.
He really hypnotized me with this song. His voice is soooooo soothing and I don’t know, I’m just so speechless, couldn’t even think what’s the ultimate word to express my feeling..
The show was really ended and it’s shorter than in Glorietta. Perhaps, his tonite’s show only took 40 minutes or so. Yet the line for meet & greet and the CD signing was longer than in Glorietta. Me, Eliza, Chris & Meg got the M & G for photo session. My mind couldn’t focus at all, really excited waiting for the moment to hug him J Meg went first, followed by Chris & Eliza then I was the last person. When I walked towards him, I kept saying that I should behave, but when he’s so near, I just couldn’t behave anymore. I hugged him and even asked him if I could kiss him on the cheek (plus saying that it’s a request from my friend since I didn’t want him to think that’s it’s purely comes from me, huahahahahaaaaa…). When I was off the stage, I still could feel that my leg was shaking and couldn’t walk straight.
So pleased that I found Chris, Yam, Eliza, Bell & Meg there, then when Yam showed us the pix she took, we were jumping upside down. Really, we couldn’t believe that we finally got the pix with Elliott Yamin. DEAR LORD, WE TOOK A PIX WITH ELLIOTT !!!
We still hung around in the activity center and witnessed Patrick accomplished his mission. Woohooooo, way to go, pal. Hope it really brings you a good luck !!. Later on, we moved near the stage, so in case Elliott walked out, he would notice us right away. While waiting, we asked Monet to come out as Christian need to give souvenirs to the band member through her. She mentioned that all of them are already left. Yet we thought that they’re still on the backstage, waiting for the crowds to be gone soon.
While we were hanging around, Angelo came to me and asked me the tarp. All of the sudden, I couldn’t focus anymore and really felt guilty. I was the last person who had them before the show and I put it next to my chair so I could concentrate watching Elliott’s performance. And when the show was over, I completely forgot about the tarp. I’m very very very very sorry for losing it. I felt guilty as all of the idea & the hard work you’ve given to made the tarp looks beautiful is gone in one nite because of the irresponsible me L L
There were people we didn’t know took our pix when we were holding the tarp and had a group picture (this time no Elliott). It’s a good sign as now people are aware that Elliott has many die-hard fan in Philippines. And speaking of die-hard fans, I still laugh everytime I remember those 3 teenage girls, perhaps age 12 – 13 y/o, who were hysterically screaming when they noticed Angelo was wearing the I heart EY and knowing he’s the member of Yaminoys (they were the one who bought you donuts, huh ? J). Since they only had 1 CD, so one of them should have a CD too, otherwise the guard wouldn’t allow 2 people on the stage for 1 CD. Yam was being so nice by giving her the CD to them and when they were on stage, they was crying and almost lost their breath, especially the girl in the green shirt with the long hair. She just completely lost her mind.
We left the venue around 8pm as there’s no sign whatsoever that Elliott & the band were still there. Suddenly, I missed you guys already cause I’m not sure when I can meet you again, a bunch of nice-warm hearted-people which I had been together with for 2 days. I felt so welcome here and felt like an old time friends. Honestly, I didn’t wanna move at all, but I’ve made appointment with my ex-boss and his wife to have dinner with them at 8:30, so I really need to go.
Sigh, looks like the nite should be ended, but I said to myself, if there’s a chance, I surely will go back to Manila to see you guys..
