Lifehouse and getting engaged to george clooney

I'm a big fan of quiapo/greenhills dvds / cds.

I buy stuff from there. But my fascination with two bands had me buying original cds. Lifehouse and Matchbox 20. I'll reserve my fascination for rob and his band some other time. This entry is all about lifehouse.

Lifehouse. Their songs captured what was in my mind during those times. It's like if i were talented in the musical area, and could write lyrics, i would write/sing those songs.

i'm falling even more in love with you... letting go of all i held onto...i'm hanging by a moment here with you... forgetting all i'm lacking... completely incomplete...

Poetic. Honest. Real. . So true. Every song they sang, i could relate. It was my life they were singing about. Ganun ka fanatic. They aren't good looking like backstreet boys whatever, but they were talented and they were passionate about their craft and that's what is important.

MTV Fanatic.

In my list of things to do, i put them down - watch them in a concert. Back then i was hoping that they would come to the philippines so i could watch them. Kahit magkano pa, kahit may exam pa man ako sa araw na iyon, i would watch them... even if it means repeat rotation or whatever.

Rachelle and me were driving towards Macy's when this announcer said "LIFEHOUSE IN WESTERN MICHIGAN".... wait lang. I palpitated. I said, no way, western michigan? Dito yun a!!!! So then ayun, may concert daw sila sa october 28 in a place 1 hour away from me. Ay promise, whatever, pupunta talaga ako.

At ang ticket? 18 dollars lang! 18!!!!!

When i got there i was the happiest person in the world!

Somebody pinch me, i was in the middle of a really great dream. No seats, and you could go as near as you want sa stage, i was about ten feet away from the stage. When jason wade opened his mouth to sing, it was better than the albums.

There's this verse in the bible that says for now we only see a hazy image of God, but someday we will see him face to face. Now i'm not saying it's like seeng Big J, but there is parallelism to that. IT's so different when you see them live, in flesh... i've enjoyed their songs by sound, but the real thing was a delight to every senses. Somebody could have choked me to death at that concert and i would have died smiling.

I can't describe how i felt, but instead of sweating water, i was sweating endorphins.

And kudos to the guitarists and the drummer. One guitarist reminded me of tintin, my cousin. The other, he was good as well. I still can't get over the fact that i have seen them.

Hey the way i'm crossing things off my list, i'm pretty sure i might end up marrying george clooney.
