BEING FAN #2

goooooooooooooooooooooood morning everyone!!!! i would just like to share the most wonderful picture of all time...


YES YES YES!!! it's Gary V. and his number 1 fan!!! AAAAAAAAAAACKKK!!!! [actually, number 2 fan... hehehe. read on. i am a loser.]

so yesterday, i was supposed to watch the gig of the Akafellas at Intramuros [The Filipino Festival], but my mom was like, "that's a SARS infected area, Michaela! anukabanaman?? no! you stay home and stay away from places with a lot of foreigners." so nearly devastated, i decided to stay home and hibernate. UNTIL later on in the afternoon, when she told me and my siblings, "GUYS! tara! we're all going to the Podium, have dinner at Banana Leaf Curry, and watch Johnny English!" [duh-uh mom. as if the malls aren't SARS infected or FILLED with foreigners either -- the Podium pa at that! hay. i wanted to kill her.]

but as my motto never ceases to rationalize the daily events in my life -- and that is, "Everything happens for a reason." -- i thank my mom for nagging me to death to go with them, cuz when we got there, Gary V. was having his Gary at the Movies concert!!! I WANTED TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NOTE: for the unaware, i am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge-ass Gary V fan. the first song i ever learned and LOVED was "Wag mo na Sana", and that was like when i was 5 or 6. i grew up to his music, created dance moves pa for his songs and all that, and simply learned to love music and singing cuz of him [ew. i sound like one of them losers from MTV fanatic]. but hey... as pathetic as i may sound, its really true. this guy has been my idol since forever. hahaha. the first time i met him at his son's performance of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe -- thanks to rhed sandico! -- i actually cried! hahahaha. i'm so weird. ]

so going back, i was there at the concert, standing at the right side, around 10 feet away from the stage. he was singing the version i really love of "Di Bale Nalang". and while everyone else was seated, i was there [like i said, standing up] singing my heart out to the song. and suddenly, he looks at my direction, stares for a few seconds, smiles this KILLER smile, and points at me! of course for two seconds, i was thinking is he pointing at me??? IS HE FRIGGIN POINTING AT ME?!?!?!?!?! and then everyone in front just looked at my direction and smiled the "shit-you're-so-lucky-he-pointed-at-you" smile. hahaha! i swear to God! i was so happy i felt like dying already.

after the concert, me and my ate erika went in line to have our CDs signed and some pictures taken with him. while in line, we were discussing what to say to him. no wait.... actually, it was just ME being a freak, ranting and panicking over what to tell him. ate just wanted to sock me just so i'd shut up, and told me NOT TO SAY ANYTHING AT ALL cuz i sounded like a total idiot with every possible line i came up with. heehee!

moments later, our turn came. and out of nowhere, these STUPID BEYOND STUPID words came out of my mouth -- "Okay. I just have to say this to you... i know everyone says that they're you're Number 1 fan, so i'm gonna say that I'M you're Number 2 Fan . . . . [pause with my ate giving me the "i-am-sooooooooooo-gonna-kill-you-later-mic" look] . . . and my ate here is your Number 3 Fan!" [aaaaaaaaand my ate's look got worse. hahaha!].

GOOD GOD, MARIA MICHAELA VERONICA!!!! i said THAT to my IDOL for life!!! pooooooohtek. buti nalang he ended up laughing, and said the most wonderful words... "Haha! really?? thank you, Mic! yeah... i saw you a while ago... you were standing there, singing and dancing with me. i even pointed and smiled at you. did you see?" i wanted to say, "did i see?!? did a friggin see YOU, pointing at ME?!?!?!? CRAP IT, OF COURSE I SAW!!!! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!!!!!" but then all i could do was laugh and blush as a tomato [the picture will prove it.]

*sigh*

my night was PERFECT cuz of that. i swear. i was thinking that i could die right there at that very moment. but then again.... my dream of actually performing and singing WITH him hasn't come true yet [hehehe yeah... like that'll ever EVER happen]. so until the unthinkable and the impossible becomes possible, i'll be the first to stab myself out of sheer joy for such a dream to come true.

HAHAHAHA! DAMN! i'm such a pathetic fanatic, i think i wanna take back what i just said and kill myself RIGHT NOW.
