Paramore Concert in Manila –What happened?

March 11, 2010 by Janey

A lot of my friends were excited about the Paramore concert. 2 days after the Manila gig, there’s a big buzz on the net. I didn’t watch the Paramore concert but from what I read online I think there were a lot of unhappy VIP ticket holders because their area was switched with the Gold ticket holders. There was no advise that they were going to switch the Gold and VIP sections –a compelling reason why most VIP ticket holders are asking for refunds. Bottom line seems to be that they didn’t enjoy the concert anymore because of all the last-minute movements and the fact that they feel that they paid a premium to get a closer experience of the Paramore concert.

I wonder what really happened?

The concertgoers are there to enjoy the music and overall experience. It’s sad to know that a lot of Paramore fans went home upset.

The Timbaland concert featuring Jojo and Justin Timberlake is already on March 27. I’m not really keen on watching a concert in open grounds after a hot and tiring Chris Brown & Rihanna concert in Manila in 2008. I guess I’m just not really big on outdoor concerts –being used to the air-conditioned and seated ambience of Araneta Coliseum.

But since it’s Justin Timberlake and Timbaland and Jojo. I can make an exemption. I can feel that this concert will be a blast!!! 🙂

I surefire don’t want to jinx it so I won’t give too much details but… I met with someone from MTV last week and… *crossing my fingers* I’m just all excited about it.

I hope there won’t be any last minute shuffling there! 😉

Nike’s Manny Pacquiao Limited Apparel

May 9, 2009 by Janey

Saturdays are meant for sleeping in until noon. Not last Saturday though. The day started early and we were at the Fort by 9AM. W-H-Y?

Last May 2, 2009, starting 12 noon, Manny Pacquiao fans and supporters get the chance to purchase Pacman’s limited apparel during this one day only event. The most popular item in the Manny Pacquiao pop up store was the Nike Trainer 1, which retailed at PHP 5,209.

The Manny Pacquiao pop-up store one-off event was held at Magnet Café Bonifacio High Street. Magnet Café is 2 doors away from the Nike branch store at the Fort. Limited pairs were also made available at Nike Park BHS the next day.

What we were interested in was the Manny Pacquiao windbreaker that has the Philippine flag design. When we got there though, there were about 80 people in line already, who supposedly camped out just to get their hands on the items. 3 hours of waiting… and there was no guarantee that when the store opens at 12nn, there would be stocks left. As much as we wanted to purchase the windrunners, I just didn’t have the patience to wait that long.

Cheers to those who were able to buy what they went there for!!! I’m green with envy.

The Others

May 9, 2009 by Janey

I am not the only woman in Bubba’s life. In fact, he has other “babies,” sometimes with more emotional needs.

Krie, The Albino Ratsnake

Krie is the partner of Skimpy before. Since Skimpy’s death, Krie is the oldest baby in the family. Krie has a lot of poise and class that probably were brought about by age.

Boei, The Ball Python

When we were just dating, Bubba couldn’t stop talking about how he wanted to get a ball snake. Everything is a sign to get a ball snake. We were at EDSA Shangri-la one time and we see an ad poster of a watch that has the word, “BALL” with a water snake and this is the forth-telling SIGN. He tries to connect everything as signs that he’s supposed to buy a ball snake. After a while, I relent and let him be. There were a few chances where he almost bought one but decided against it. Finally, the perfect ball snake came our way and I agreed that this is what he’s been dying to have.

Grumpy, The Hognose Snake

This hognose snake was actually a trade-off. Bubba traded off his two precious skinks for this baby who is throwing a fit all the time. He’s the crankiest in the bunch. He bites the hand that feeds him.

GTP, The Green Tree Python

GTP named after George St. Pierre but with a T instead of an S. I was in protest getting another snake but when I saw GTP’s uber yellow skin, it was so beautiful we both couldn’t resist. He reached adolescence last year that made his yellow skin turn to green.

Jigsaw, The Milksnake

Of course, men go for the “young.” This is why this milksnake used to Bubba’s favorite, more than me probably. Jigsaw is the latest addition in the family, which makes him the youngest. He celebrated his 1^st year anniversary just recently. He is named after our favorite thriller movie, SAW.

I think though that Boei remains to be his all-time favorite because that snake is really attached to him. They have this special “bond.” Boei is also special to me because he reminds me of days when we were just starting out.
