It was our semestral break when I read a tweet stating that The Maine, NeverShoutNever and We The Kings will have a concert here in Manila! I was happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I really want to see The Maine and We The Kings perform live! Sad because I don't own any A-card nor live near any Ayala Malls.
As time goes by, the very generous MMI and Rhiza Pascua always tweets about the contests they are organizing for meet & greet passes! I even filmed myself trying to play air guitar. I really sucked but I was so desperate to get the meet & greet passes... specifically for The Maine. I was losing hope because the contest was all about popularity again. The video with the most likes win. I finally gave up when all the other contestants were reaching 200+ likes. I also get annoyed at myself while asking people to like my video. It was so embarrassing! I also joined the essay contest... and yes, I WON A MEET AND GREET PASS because of that essay! Yay ♥
Last February 17, 2011. I had classes in the morning, then I went to TriNoma with my friends. CJ and I were so early at the venue. We ate at Mcdonalds then I thought I saw Pat Kirch!! I went crazy and ran near the stage. I was wrong. It wasn't Pat! So we just waited for 30 minutes, then Travis Clark of We The Kings went out! It was sooo surreal! I can't believe that the mall was so quiet. I was the only one screaming as if I saw a ghost! I shouted: "OH MY GOD! TRAAAAVIIIS!!!" Then, Travis waved at us! I was shaking and blushing at the same time. After that, it was soundcheck time.


My friend go to meet The Maine that time. I was actually going to meet them also, but according to MMI-- TriNoma's show was booked so I can't meet them on that day. I decided to meet them at the last show (Alabang Town Center -- which is sooo far away from where I live because I am desperate to meet them so I'll do anything)
NeverShoutNever was the first to perform. Honestly, I am not a fan but I liked how he performed! He was so adorable in person too ;) The next to perform was The Maine. I was screaming my lungs out when John Ohh got on stage. It was unbelievable yet an amazing experience. I love how Garrett still performs even though he's sick :) They are amazing!


The last to perform was We The Kings. I can remember just watching their music videos on YouTube years ago and that time, I was watching them perform live. It was a dream come true.
I will never forget February 17! ♥
