Take Me There

O_O Are you serious?

Paul Digiovanni waved at us. Weee. :">

LMAO. You could totally hear us screaming back there. So embarrassing. XD Actually, we weren't supposed to go to Boys Like Girls. We gave in to peer pressure. D: Yesterday we arrived at Trinoma at about 7:30 and I think the show ended at 8. I was looking for my fellow boardie friends but I can't see them. I just saw Issa when the concert ended, so yeah. She texted me that she was in the concierge and so I went there and I saw her with Andrea. :D They had blue tickets, lucky them (Blue tickets, like on the click concert in Trinoma, are for sponsors/Ayala/something. They get front row seats). I was wishing that I could get a blue ticket just to get in. I'm happy that way. :) I looked for blue tickets on the floor and I saw none. :( But then I saw, at the concierge table, a crumpled blue paper, the same color as what Issa and Andy had. I got it and opened it. MHM. YOU'RE RIGHT. IT WAS HEAVEN SENT. BLUE TICKETS. FRONT ROW. FOR SPONSORS. 3 TICKETS. STAPLED ALL TOGETHER. EXACTLY FOR US. AND AT THE BACK, OUR NAMES WRITTEN ON IT. Lol. Of course not the last sentence. XD How lucky can we get? ;)

We got in. HA. Right, too bad I got it after the concert. :/ But I still consider myself lucky. :D I met Dana, Dara, Andy and Janella inside. :D Really nice people. The concert was over and the boys were backstage and so we went to this barricade thing and waited for them to come out once more, for the meet and greet and picture taking. I took pictures. Lol. Eventhough they're with Random people. I suddenly remembered the name Paul and I told my acquaintances (aka people I'm with, not boardie friends), that we should call Paul, whoever he is. But I'm guessing he's the good looking one in the left most part, wearing black. They were taking a picture when I signaled that we should call Paul on 3, 2, 1--"PAUL!!!" and he looked at us, smiled and started waving his hand just low enough for us to see because they were taking a group picture. :"> GAHH.
The next one was when we were trying to get Paul's attention so that I could record a video of it. Yep, he waved his hand and smiled at us again. :"> And I caught it on video. Do watch the video above, thank you. :D

Third one was when I wasn't around. I talked to Andy, Dana and Dara. Jan wasn't around anymore. :( I missed the other one when he waved and greeted Martin a happy birthday.

Fourth one was when they're about to leave. My acquaintances and I called Paul's name again when they were about to leave for backstage and he looked our way again, smiled (this time, a bigger one) and then waved (a big wave with two hands) and Martin did so too. After that, we went on the stage to get stuff that they left. I got 2 water bottles, one was empty and squeezed during the concert, and the other one was opened. I got a bottle cap. XD and Lia got the bottle cap of my squeezed water bottle. Lol. I also got 4 handwritten set lists. 1 for each member. My sister got a water bottle and another one of my friends got a water bottle (LMAO. We did our tradition with every water bottle we get, we sniff it. This one is the worst. Ugh. It smelled unpleasant. Srsly.)

So I had to bring lots of stuff, good thing I brought along my bag with me, just in case I get a lot of stuff. Lol. I was really hopeful that we get stuff that's why I brought that bag along with me. My mantra worked. Lol. It never fails. The night before the concert, I keep saying that we're gonna get stuff from BLG eventhough we don't get to watch the whole concert, it's okay. True enough, we did get stuff and we didn't get to watch the whole concert.

We waited for the guys to come out backstage. We were lucky enough to be on time to get down there that we were REALLY close to them that if we jump and try to reach for them, we will. But of course we didn't, we wouldn't want to freak them out. XD We were shouting "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTIN" but he's so deaf because there are a lot of people screaming. :| So he didn't hear us. And then I called out Paul. AGAIN. and he looked our way, smiled and waved. AGAIN :"> :x Honestly, we attempted to get his attention 8 times. But only 5 succeeded. He probably remembers us. 'Cause we're practically the only ones calling out his name everytime we get the chance.

Then the other members came out. John and Martin and Bryan came out. John handed a drumstick to this girl and I was struggling to get my hands on it. Unfortunately, that girl got it. Until I realized that the girl who got it, WAS MY SISTER. Pretty cool, huh? :> So yeah. We have Paul's Cousin's drumstick. John Keefe's drumstick. It looks like it's been chewed. XD It has dents on it. Lots of dents. Lucky girl. :)

We saw Theresians there. Overall, we had fun last night. I didn't get a chance to blog about this last night because, well, I was overly excited and I was sleepy so I can't pour all my thoughts in.

AND I just knew yesterday that Paul was actually the guy I liked when I watched the music video of "The Great Escape". The lead guitarist. But then I thought it was just a camera trick that he's cute in that video and maybe not on the others or in person. So I ignored it. Until yesterday. Lesson: Once you see a "cute" guy in a band, look for him on the net. XD

PS: There were these American girls who asked us if the drumstick that my sister's holding is their drumstick and we said yes and they asked us: "May we touch it?" and we said "sure" and then after that they were like. "Whoa." and then we said bye to them because we have to find Ate Neng.
