Marié Digby - Too Good to be True

"Too good to be true."

Before anything else! I felt bad that I didn't write much about Jam for Japan Benefit Concert. For a little background it was a six hour gig, (no kidding) 30 local and international acts representing different genre of music, all in one event for one cause - to give help for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami happened in Japan few weeks back. The event raised up to 17.5 M pesos and I am so blessed that my 500 pesos was part of it :)

Okay, Seems like some people are looking for my blog entry about Marié like what I did before. Though, I may not be able to write as deep or as detailed compared to my first blog about Marié Digby, but one thing’s for sure, nothing changed since the first day I met her and until now :)

I remember after my lunch date with Marie last August 2, 2009, I was able to blog my experience on the same date and was on a cloud 9 feeling for weeks trying to remember all the details everyday. I know the fact that not everyone has an opportunity like this. I am, really blessed.

Meeting her last April 1st felt exactly like meeting her for the first time two years ago. I saw her walking from the entrance door towards the backstage room and my heart was jumping for joy. It literally felt like I just found my long lost friend again. As she stand right in the middle of the stage, she looked for the Digbyholics. She only performed two songs but I am glad I witnessed her short set because it was one of her most emotional performances ever.

After her two songs, me and Jackie went to the backstage room hoping they will let us in. But it didn’t happened. After few minutes, she went out and as she walk, I can see the huge smile and directly hugged me tight right away. It was surreal. She told me she was very happy to finally see me again with the rest of the digbyholics and mentioned that she’s very excited the future meet ups. My moment was when we were from the backstage to the free seating up to the exit area. Why so called my moment? Well because when she went out from the backstage room, she approached me right away and gave me a long super tight hug and I wasn’t even aware that we were walking side by side holding each other’s waist. LOL Simple gesture yet memorable. ♥ She made me feel that I am important. :) Oh, she also did mentioned that she saw my Breathing Underwater cover somewhere on the web - in front of everyone. I don't exactly know what to feel but I was so embarrassed that time. I mean, to hear that from the artist that you covered. Haha :)

I let her sign my Breathing Underwater album and she was like, “You bought one again?! This is like your 5th album already.” And I said, “more like the 7th I think.” She was in awe. LOL

After my dinner date with the Digbyholics, we went back to the museum to wait Roxy’s dad and meet up with Kuya Jude. As we wait, Rox and Mikha saw Marie having dinner talk with a couple of her friends and managers. They all signed “wait” and Marie went outside again to meet us, talked to us and even took pictures again.

What is not to like about this international artist? She’s down to earth, appreciative, and carefree. She’s one of a kind. I was never a super fan to anyone locally or internationally except for her and I made the right choice! Thinking to this day, I would never ever forget that all I really want is to let her sign my albums. Who would have thought? On my blog two years ago, I did mentioned.. “You just witnessed a dream that actually came true.” Still the same, as you read this blog, you just witnessed a dream going beyond the expectations. This isn’t talk shit, but it is too good to be true. ♥
