The Script, Jason Mraz, Aerosmith and Cascades 2013 Live in Manila CONCERT – where to get tickets!

 

There are four LIVE concerts in Manila this summer that I am itching to watch…

 

1. Jason Mraz LIVE in Manila

Ovation Productions and Music Management International brings back American singer-songwriter, Jason Mraz to Manila.  I remember watching his concert last year with Toca Rivera with my Victory church friends.  That was back in October 2011 and nay even 2 years, and he’s here again.  This year, he plays with his band.

I also watched the last Script concert in Manila and it was with CW.  We both decided to give the Bleachers, also known as General Admission section, a try and experience a concert from that perspective (other than ticket prices are expensive and the seating area we like are already almost sold out).  Lo and behold, it was one of the most fun concerts we’ve experienced.  We were just chill and we could sing out loud without a care in the world.  Money well spent.

Justin Bieber Concert in Manila on May 11, 2011.

 

 

Bieber fans are probably all psyched up with the fact that their beloved Justin Bieber or “JB” is having a concert in Manila on May 10, 2011.  Good thing that May 10, 2011 is not an election day this year.  Justin Bieber fans definitely vote to go to the concert whether rain or shine.

 

 

Smart Telecommunications is producing the Justin Bieber concert in partnership with Music Management International and AEDI.  The Justin Bieber Manila Concert will be held at SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

 

 

Justin was supposed to be linked to a Filipina-American singer Jasmine Villegas but E! News recently showed a photo of Justine Bieber steamy with Selena Gomez in Cabo. 

 

 

Poreotix, which is America’s Best Dance Crew, is also going to perform during the Justin Bieber Manila Concert.

Maroon 5 Concert in Manila, Yes Maroon 5’s coming BACK!

 

 

After a highly successful first concert in the Philippines, Maroon 5 is coming back to the country in May for a new CONCERT.  Cheers to the Maroon 5 fans, which includes Bubba, that after 3 years, Grammy award-winning band Maroon 5 will once again hit the stage in Manila and paint the air with their live music.

 

 

Much anticipated are the new songs from their third album, Hands All Over, which was released in September last year.  “Hands All Over” album’s debut single, “Misery,” landed in the Top 10 of the Top 40 radio charts in the US early in its release.

 

 

But of course, Maroon 5 FANS will be happy to hear some repeats of their all time favorite Maroon 5 hit songs such as “She Will Be Loved,”  “This Love,” “Won’t Go Home Without You” and “Sunday Morning.”

Timbaland feat. Justin Timberlake and Jojo Post-Concert Review:

How did you guys like the Timbaland concert?  🙂  It supposedly started at 10PM to make way for the Earth Hour?  I heard a lot of people were disappointed that JT didn’t really dance that much and production was only so-so?  How true is that?  Would love to hear your feedback!

POV -it’s still fantastic to see JT and Timbaland and Jojo no matter what! 😉

Cheers!

Rockband Friday at King Francis’

 

Potluck Dinner

 

Dinner: Cherry’s Spareribs, Pizza and Carbonara.  Jane’s Wrong Pasta, and Madz’ Uncooked Tikoy (operative word: uncooked)

Usual Suspects: Francis a.k.a “Milo Kid,” Madz a.k.a “Princess Maddie,” Chris a.k.a “Bubba,” and Jane a.k.a “Queen La.”

New Recruits: Pearl a.k.a “Si Pearl Na Naman” and Judd a.k.a “Coron Next Day” -Hannah (MIA)

 

Notes:  Morgan Freeman.  Wrong Pasta.  Delicious Spareribs. 

 

Since Bubba had a late meeting Friday night, I had to ride with Francis from the office to his place.  I bonded with Francis’ lovely (Read: hot) mom on the way and even bragged about the pasta I was going to bring.  The pasta it turned out was cooked the wrong way by the help (since I changed something in my usual recipe).  I was so embarrassed so I promised the mom I would bring her another one (I woke up early Monday to cook the pasta myself).

 

 

(After lunch, I went to the office of Francis and handed the pasta to his mom.  I gave Bubba pasta too for his packed lunch and after gym during lunchtime, I also handed one to my newfound friend and gym buddy, Nolan) 

 

Rockband

 

After many months of waiting, this plan of Francis pushes through (with so much berating from me and Madz!)  We started around 9pm.  But first, the muscles of Francis and Judd had to work because they had to move the flat screen from one room to Francis’ game room.  Bubba claimed injury for not helping.

 

First Song.  First Score.

 

*UPDATED*  Here are the videos!

 

Paramore – That’s What You Get

 

Madz on the Mic

 

 

 

Francis Liamzon’s photos (-one of my top three favorite photogs!)

 

Maddie and Bubbs

Uh-huh.

Hamming it up for the camera 😀

Madz and I are still seriously following the notes

Ok, now it’s only Madz.

Err, Maddie, what’s wrong with Bubba’s stick?

Judd = Madamot

Bubba’s muscle about to pop

Me = Extra

 

Outtakes (Photo Sesh with Francis)

Back to regular programming

 

Or maybe not. 😉

 

Notes: I think I scared Judd off with my singing (Paramore -That’s What You Get).  But what can I do?  They forced the mic into my hands.

*Bubba took a video of the first two songs.  You want to see me when I’m in the mood to sing?  So far I’ve only shared it with one friend.  Shoot me an email.  And I will find somewhere someday the courage to send you the link 🙂

 

 

 

 

Miss Universe 2009 Winner

 

 

Miss Venezuela won the 2009 Miss Universe crown giving a back-to-back title to their country.  It is also Venezuela’s sixth time bagging the coveted beauty crown since the pageant’s creation.  Very young at 18, Stefania Fernandez, dressed in a flowing tiered red evening gown, jumped in joy (rather not so gracefully) with fellow Miss Venezuela 2008 winner.  As the crown was passed from one Venezuelan beauty to the next, the two cheered and teetered in elation that made the crown briefly fell to the floor. 

 

 

Personal bet Dominican Republic Ada Aimee de la Cruz was the first runner up.  Dominican Republic had the toughest question being asked whether or not HIV test should be mandatory.  Another personal bet in the top 15 didn’t make it to the next cut, Miss South Africa.  Our Filipina bet didn’t also make it to the Top 15 cut.

 

 

The other finalists were Miss Kosovo, Droga Ganusha; Miss Australia, Rachael Finch; and Miss Puerto Rico, Mayra Matos Perez.  Miss China, Wang Jingyao, was named Miss Congeniality and Miss Thailand, Chutima Durongdej, won Miss Photogenic.

 

 

The new Miss Universe is from the city of Merida in the west of a beauty-obsessed South American country where hard-fought pageants are something of a national sport, with contestants widely dissected by the public and the media.

 

If there was one gripe about the whole worldwide-televised event, it’s the production.  The prestigious pageant included musical performances by Flo Rida (whose music I listen to and like but it felt inappropriate to have him sing in the pageant with a background of “glamorous/model” women clad in bikinis jump in Hip Hop music), Heidi Montag, David Guetta and Kelly Rowland.

American Idol Season 8 Finale

 

 

There is a new American Idol and it’s Kris Allen.  KRIS ALLEN, ladies and gentlemen.

 

Gotta give props to Adam Lambert because he was really a superstar all throughout the competition and he brought AI to a whole new level –singing and stage presence –wise.

Kris Allen despite missing some key notes in Kara DioGuardi’s written song, No Boundaries, triumphs as the last man standing in Season 8 of American Idol.  Even if Adam did a better performance hitting the notes, I feel that Kris’ acoustic rock voice suits the song better than Adam’s mellow Aerosmith voice.

Other than the star-studded guest list that includes Kiss and Queen, Kara DioGuardi made the season finale more memorable with an epic showdown between her and “bikini girl” Katrina Darrell.  Not so long ago during the auditions, Kara pointed out that Katrina didn’t hit the right notes.  Katrina made a sarcastic rebuttal that distressed Kara to showing her how it’s properly done.

Image Source: Fox and Huffintonpost.com

At the end of the singing duel, Kara unveiled her bikini body by unbuttoning her trench dress to flash a black string bikini she had on underneath.  Ryan commented that by flashing the world at the end of the song, Kara won a bet and a donation to charity.

In other news, Hayden Christensen (no, not the infamous local doctor with scandalous videos) and Djimon Honsou stars in Mandrake the Magician adaptation.  Anakin Skywalker of Star Wars is supposed to do the lead role in the film “Mandrake.”  MTV news however reports that a representative from Hayden’s camp denies that he has anything to do with the film. 

 

The movie co-star Djimon Honsou will follow Hayden’s character, an “underground magician and escapologist” who is approached by the CIA to do some work after “a daring escape from an SUV that has been dropped out of an plane at the Burning Man Festival.  Hounsou will presumably be taking on the role of Mandrake’s assistant, Lothar.  I love Djimon Honsou in Blood Diamond and I cannot wait to see another film with him in it.
