081008

I am extremely sleepy.

I am bored.

I want to go home.

I want to buy this book:



But I haven't finished with Dan Brown yet.

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

books, books, books.

Today, I finished reading "Deception Point" by Dan Brown.



After a million years of trying to read that book, I've finally finished!

Today, I'm reading "Deception Point" by Dan Brown.



Wish me luck that I'll finish this soon! :)

I'll probs post a review when I'm quite bored. :P

Chris Brown and Rihanna in Manila.

Just saw ticketworld's site and they have a preview of upcoming concerts. and tadah. I see this:


They're coming!

No details on ticket prices/venue yet. My guess is that ticket prices would be around 3k+ for the front block seats and venue might be an open field [the fort, maybe?]

I've no plans of shelling out a lot of cash this December but if any generous ones out there could give me some tickets [i only need 1 :P ] then I'd be one happy camper!

On other stuff, how was your weekend? Mine was very boring. I stayed at home, catched up with Heroes Season 1 [LOSER] and read a pages in some books I've been meaning to read for quite some time.

which one would you pick?

With all the telly shows being show, which one would you watch and tune in the most?

With all the movies, coming out, which one would you spend big bucks to watch in the big screen or wait until a dvd comes out?

With all the books that you want to read, which would you choose first?

If you had all the time in the world, would you watch all the shows/movies shown? And would you read all the books that were ever published?

Time.

Ahh.. the restrictions of it.

Makes you wonder how much time is very, very important.

I really don't want to waste it.

Boyzone and more.

*sigh*

Boyzone released tickets for their Better 2009 Tour and of course I didn't book because those dates are for the UK/Ireland only.
Being stuck in Asia sometimes sucks :(

Another note -- our basketball team lost the finals. *sighs again*

I want to pick myself up by buying "twilight" by Stephenie Meyer but I can't bring myself to go to the bookstore even though I pass by it every day. Too much expenses nowadays, thanks to the credit crunch, everything seems much, much more expensive than what they usually are.

Eyurgh.

This post is a bad mood post. I just want to vent out.

On MNL concerts.

I was just planning to watch just one video on YT today -- Take That's Apache 2006 video from their Ultimate Tour DVD.

But those related videos enticed me to watch the other Take That vids, most especially the Beautiful World DVD.

As I was going through the songs one by one from those two aforementioned tours, I remembered just how fun and exciting the concerts in the UK are.. They are a spectacle of lights, sound, and special effects that would really make you want to come back for more.

I miss it. I miss it badly.

As mentioned in my previous post, I was lucky enough to watch Boyzone while I was in England. And I realized that the international acts that have concerts here in Manila are NOWHERE in comparison to the UK tours I've watched so far.

Granted that I know shipping all of those props would be very expensive from overseas to MNL but still... I LONG for that spectacle. I paid a hell of a lot of money to watch, then why can't I get that same experience??? If most of these artists could have great shows in Taiwan, Japan, or Australia, then why not here?

Manila: No fireworks, dancers, light shows, trapdoors, awesome props, front row seats are saved for non-fans & definitely overpriced tickets.

London/UK shows: the whole deal. You'll feel like your every penny is worth watching the concert for. PLUS if you're a fan, you can get a chance to get FRONT ROW SEATS. [I'm a testament to this as I got 6th row seats in the Boyzone concert WITHOUT the politics of asking someone from the promoter, the venue coordinators, etc... I just booked a ticket and BAM! Got that seat.] I mean. Why in the world would you give front row seats to people who aren't even HUGE fans of a band? It'll be like a huge humiliation to a band if they look out in the front rows and see bored people. Not cool.

Now I'm really thinking that instead of watching concerts here, I'll scrap that out altogether, pool the funds, go abroad, and watch THERE instead.

It'll be an adventure and a sight-seeing tour as well.

Hmmm....

Any friends that are game for this adventure? =)
