Benchsetter Jessica Sanchez Fun Meet

I won an M&G pass on Twitter just by tweeting Bench's account why I deserve to win a meet and greet with Jessica. And my reply must have been creative enough because luckily, Bench picked me to be on the Fun Meet which was held last Tuesday, September 25, 2012, at the Edsa Shangrila Hotel.

I was so excited to meet Jessica because I'm such a big fan of hers. I supported her all the way during her journey in American Idol. I sing her songs whenever I can, which is every minute I spend on the shower. So, I really prepared myself and rehearsed what I'm going to say to her, how should I hug her, what should I give her and such. But I was kind of disappointed when the Fun Meet happened. There were no autograph signing, Jessica didn't even sang a bit AND the photo-op with her was a group picture. Ugh. But, oh well. I got to hug her and to see her upclose so yeah, everybody happy. Ha ha! 

Bench haven't uploaded the official meet and greet photos yet. So here are some photos that I got from another co-winner during the event.

My epic moment with Jessica, the hug! *u*

 Group photo-op! Mehhhh, I'm not even the one on her side. Ugh.

So starstruck-ed with Jessica! <3

See?! We're close na. Chikahan galore lang kami sa likod ni kuya! Ha ha ha.

I really can't believe I would be seeing Jessica in person and this close. I was just watching and cheering for her in front of our telly back then but this happened and it just feels so surreal. It is just a brief encounter but this means a lot! I'm so gonna watch out for her first ever solo concert. Starting to save up for it! Ha ha.

Dreams do come true, people! Who would've thought I'll get this opportunity in my life, right? Ahhh. Thank you so much, Bench, for this opportunity! :')

Someday

Mapapanuod ko din mag-concert fave bands/artists ko! Will miss Maroon 5, Jessica Sanchez(AI Tour) and Foster The People's concert for now but someday talaga mapapanuod ko din sila at iba pang bet kong artists!

Student/Blogger

How do they do it? They still have the time to squeeze in blogging with their studies. After ma-stretch out nang utak nila sa school, still may something sensible silang nailalagay sa blogs nila plus may outfitey of the day photos pa. And, regularly nilang na-uupdate. Pakak! Oh, well. Disadvantage of studying an Engineering course, eh? Maybe. But yeah, I'll still try blogging regularly. Heto nanaman tayo sa try, eh. Ha ha ha!

Sa mga student/bloggers diyan, bow down ako sa inyo! *clapclapclap*
Any piece of advice for me? ;)

A little push is what I needed

I've been feeling down lately and it has caused me to be lazy and unproductive. But tonight, I've gain my momentum back. All I had to do was to read, watch and listen to inspirational things. They're everywhere and I haven't just noticed them because I was busy being sad and sullen.

And so I started being organized again. I took  note of everything that needs to be done and actually start doing them. I feel so motivated and positive-minded. I was so uninspired these past few days. Thinking that I needed someone to inspire me and motivate me but I realized that I don't need someone to be able to accomplish these things. I only needed the right kind of mindset. And of course, God, because I can't do this without Him and because I'm doing all this for His glory.

If before I'm slowly going under, now I'm slowly seeing the light. Life is meant to be enjoyed, right? All of these hardships and problems, I can handle without sacrificing my happiness and positive attitude. I am so grateful because God had never given up on me when I had given up on myself.

If God put you to it, He'll help you through it.
He'll never give up on you.

What is up with me?

Sometimes when I'm in an incredibly happy and light mood, I get so scared because I know that in just a snap, in just one blink of an eye, everything would turn upside down. 

These past few days, I'm really having a hard time coping up with everything. I feel like I'm drifting apart. I don't know what's happening to me. I feel so lost. I don't know where am I heading to. My life has no direction. I don't know what I want, where to go and what to do. Just like awhile ago, we got dismissed early because we had no Thermodynamics class and I can't decide where should I go after class. Should I head home already? But a part of me wanted to go for a quick stroll at the mall and probably eat. If I'd go to the mall, what should I do? I don't know if I could eat by myself. That'd be so lonely. Oh, the dilemmas I have in life. I don't know if this is perfectly normal or if everyone's going through this as well or had gone through it already or will go through it eventually. I just don't know.

I must find my purpose. I can't stand waking up in the morning for nothing. There must be something I am supposed to be doing, I just haven't found it yet. Lord God, please show me my purpose. I can't take living like this anymore.

Better Late Than Never

Earlier today, I was browsing through my Twitter timeline and one tweet got my attention. It said that The Cab will be performing at The Ayala Malls on September 21-23. So I checked out The Cab's music just now and I instantly loved it. An instafave of mine is Vegas Skies. Been playing it over and over already. Now, why do I always know about great bands only when they're already about to have concert here in the Philippines? Seriously, I need more music lover friends in my life! Hopefully, I could catch their performance on Trinoma or Glorietta.

Hear their music out!

Its a long drive back to Vegas skies 
So I dont, I make one more wrong turn tonight so 
 Say goodnight our first goodbye 
Ive only got forever and forever is fine 
Just take your time 
We'll stop the clock together 
And know that the timing was right

What do you think of their sound? Did you love it as much as I did? Comments are highly appreciated. Music lovers unite!
