Eraserheads Final Set

I waited a long time for this concert to happen again because I missed the first reunion concert because I prefer drinking (Grand Matador) and having my usuall saturday night at Malate (Clubber's Guide).

I am excited and looking forward on it for a month. I have an assurance that I would be having a ticket because of McDonald's will be sponsoring the concert.

Me and my Mom will meet by 4:00 pm at Mall of Asia (MOA) so I was there by early 3:00 in the afternoon because of my anxciety and excitment to watch the concert.

While waiting for the time, I drop by at a Zippo store to buy a Zippo flint, in tagalog bato ng lighter, and wick.

After buying the accessories, I drink a couple of drinks or more at Pier 1 at seaside while waiting for the time to pass by.

(4:45) I am very pissed because of the time already. Me and my mom had an agreement that we will meet by 4:00 but when we met up, my mom told me that they where caught by the yellow boys of Makati and the brown boys of Pasay.

Eventhough I was very pissed off, I stay calm and excited because i get my sticker or ticket to the concert.

(5:00) I went inside the concert grounds as early as I can so that I could have a better place to stay and watch the concert.

When I was inside, I go immeadiately to the McDonald's store to buy 3 bottled water and buy food at Fish and Co. to have my early dinner.

(7:00) The concert is about to start and there are a lot of people that are waiting for hours to watch and experience the concert.

The concert starts with all the MTV VJ's on the stage announcing the different programs that can be watch at MTV and the sponsors to the concert. At first, I am cool with it but when time pass the VJ's keep repeating it and repeating and repeating it. I have mixed emotions on that, one is angry because they keep repeating it eventhough on the white screen they keep on looping the programs and sponsors. Two is appreciate what they are doing because that is one way to advertise or promote the sponsors and understand it because I am studying Marketing and the concepts of it.

Many people are mad of what the VJ's are doing but when the lights when off and the very unique countdown using the alphabets all the people in the concert grounds shout "eraserheads".

At the middle of the concert, I realize that I dont have my digicam with me. I began texting or even calling my mom to get it but when I look back, I was in the very front of the Gold section next to the barricade for the VIP section.

I realize that texting and calling is very hard. I look around and see that Smart is the main sponsor of the event so I think that there is a jamming device that is put up so that only smart users can text and call very easy. Nice move.

Latter in the concert, eraserheads pay tribute to the late Francis M. While shouting the name of francis I have goosebumps because I am one of the million fans of Francis M.

The concert is already finished, while buying some souveniers from the concert the eraserheads get back at the stage to sing 3 more songs and when they do that all hell break loose, pushing and shoving is done to watch them again.

Finally, the eraserheads final set is done here are some pictures and video. This is Gold A section and look how far we are still.
