My OperaBoys Like Girls 2008 Live in Manila, Philippines

September 06, 2008 was one of the extremely unforgettable days during the past 18 years of my life 
It is very memorable in many ways, from the first time we got new of the famous American rock band Boys Like Girls coming here to Manila, to the whole process of getting the tickets and finally feeling the excitement and anticipation as we sat there and waited for the clock to chime 17:00 So how did this start? It is courtesy of my very close friend, Nikko
He told me about the whole event and took time to find out how to get hold of the tickets. Well, this is something unique, or the first time we'd done it at least. The tickets (or stubs) are not sold directly, but instead customers are required to purchase in a certain mall for a certain amount worth of goods (including clothes, food, toys, etc.) in which the receipts to these purchases will then be exchanged to tickets for entry to the concert We are only allowed two tickets maximum per person. I wanted my cousins to experience this, since they've also become great fans. Early in the morning of the performance day, we were to exchange the receipts for tickets at the concierge. Nikko was already qeueing outside the mall as early as 8:30am, when the mall opens at 10:00am. WOW! hahaha I got there 9:30am, and on exactly 10:00am after the doors opened, people were all running madly towards to the concierge I've never seen such a sight! haha I'm glad my cousin came along so he can do all the running 
We got really lucky, we were one of the last few ones to get tickets since only a maximum of 200 people from the public will be accomodated and another 300 seats are reserved for VIP (sponsors, media, affiliates, etc.) At exactly 17:00, THE BAND CAME OUT! EVERYONE WAS SCREAMING LIKE CRAZY! I'm glad my ears were still somehow feeling ok by then. They look awesome All of their songs rocked!!!! haha I was so excited, I busied myself with taking pictures and recording some videos People were jumping and singing along, hell I wanted to jump with them too, but I don't really wanna fall from the chair I'm standing on The atmosphere was high, even the dullest of the audience are forced to sway along A truly amazing experience, I must say all our past efforts paid off I'm just a bit upset coz I didn't get a signed CD from them coz only the first 100 gets one
but the concert was amazing, they were dazzling, and everything was perfect! Although an hour after the concert is when my ears went back to functioning normally, I was totally hyped with the whole extraordinary experience I am so happy no words can describe. I can't wait to go to their concert again when they come back some time in the future I have posted my favorite song from their first album -- The Great Escape with a video I recorded just so you guys could understand how people were reacting that time, and a YouTube link to the official video is also provided (Boys Like Girls - The Great Escape) take a look and enjoy!!! I have also posted some pictures I took from the whole event Its in my photo albums (Boys Like Girls Live 2008 ), take a peek and comment haha thanks!!! I would love for you all to share my excitement
