constantine

its almost 3am and I just got home after watching harry potter and a mini-concert of my season 4 american idol non-winner favorite, constantine maroulis, (which i will refer to as CM hereinafter...name's a bit long). Papunta palang ako greenbelt, and cookie was already bombarding me with text, telling me to hurry up, coz apparently, cm was rehearsing earlier, and people weren't that aware, so you can actually approach him instead of just glimpsing. but, sadly i arrived short, and he was on his way to the hotel room to prepare for his performance later that evening.

i caught cookie, the die-hard-"laglag-panty"-fanatic, lining up to buy his albums. apparently the first 150 purchasers of the album will have the opportunity to have it signed by cm personally. so cookie bought 2 albums, amounting to 2 passes for the autograph signing. Dottie arrived, and instantly bought herself a copy too. so ayun. super aga namin, 6pm palang, eh ang start ng show 8pm pa... kaya nag-abang na kami dun sa railing, barricading the spectators (us) from the VIP's reserved seats (the hell with them!)

so bale 2 hours namin kelangan tumayo just to reserve our valuable position which was a clear unobstructed front view of the stage. so i have to run to starbucks, got ourselves a snack, and went back as fast as i can, before other scavengers take my place.
so after non...cm appeared...girls were screaming, gays were swooning, guys were like "huh?", and mothers were actually chanting: "ay laab yoo conntantan!" --thats what i actually heard from where im standing"

he sang the songs i expect him to sing, kasi kung hindi , babatuhin ko sya ng bote ng mineral water. then after the show, cd signing... and here is his pic, while signing my cd (actually cookie's cd, which i borrowed") despite of the very strict organizers who didn't allow picture taking!

poster niya, na nakablock sa view ng ibang tao, buti nalang tinanggal later on.
antay for 2 hours....walang upuan yan!
constantine
after that show, nanood na kami ni ccokie ng last full show ng harry potter, until 2am... which had drastically overshadowed my hang over from constantine"
i mean it was a great movie... maybe my favorite among all the harry potter installments...much more darker, scarier, and funnier. i like the yule ball part, in particular...
p.s. katabi pa namin si yasmien from starstruck sa movie house. la lang.
