Date with John Mayer ♥

NOT LUCK. BUT PATIENCE AND FAITH :)

To start this blog. Funny story how I got the tickets. Days before the date, I already decided not to attend John Mayer's concert because of the unreasonable expensive tickets even if I want to. VIP was around 10,000 pesos, Gold was around 7,000 and so so. But then last Sept 26, I read from MMI's twitter page that they are having a contest to win John Mayer tickets. The conditions were invite friends to follow, ask them to tweet that you are the one who asked them to follow, and the top mentioned name will win. I was like, "Shit, I'm so going to win this thing. Gotta tell them and ask for help!" Then Sept 28, they announced that the contest is extended. First, it was okay.. more time to recruit people. Sept 29, they announced again 'due to public demand' that contest is extended til October 1 (concert day). Haha. Everyone who helped me was so pissed off. It's quite funny too. So anyway, by around 12 noon they announced the winners and I won two tickets! Thanks to Kuya Jude for texting me! :) Gave one ticket to Tere because she totally deserved it. As I remember, we were already talking about John Mayer's concert since April.

So, about the concert. It was a WET AND WILD experience! It was pouring rain, everybody's WET and still singing along with John Mayer! It was definitely one of the best concerts I have ever attended since my first concert experience. Okay I cant even describe the feeling because goosebumps all over me. Every person present in the concert -WILD. WILD even the boys! Haha. He knows how to win the crowd's hearts. John Mayer is a talented and solid performer. Sexy even not trying to be sexy. And of course, it's not a total concert without John Mayer's guitar solo parts and the famous "guitar face" :)

During the concert, I wasn't able to sing along because I was amazed, smiling, dancing in the rain the whole time. Except for "Your Body Is A Wonderland". Its mandatory to sing along in that song right?! Haha. Also, I'm so happy that JM chose "Edge of Desire" as the encore song. For the past weeks, I've been listening to that song because it speaks what my current heart says. I was teary-eyed for that moment. It was unbelievably magical.
