In GMA 7 of course.
My status: currently watching it.
Actually, I was there--unintentionally.
I did not plan to watch the concert...because most of my good pals were not present.
Two of my girl friends are in Canada and two of my guy buddies are in Singapore.
Eraserheads has been part of my "growing up" years -- particularly my high school life.
I really couldn't say if they're my favorite.
But I grew up hearing their music --same with Francis Magalona's rap music.
And well---I know the words of each of their songs.
Seems my brain is attuned to them and when I hear their songs I could easily fill in the blanks.
Anyway....I heard all about this reunion concert and I know it's a big thing...
But I did not want to go...
Perhaps if my high school buddies are here, it would be a nice event for all of us to come and see...perhaps.
The concert was held in the grounds outside Mall of Asia. Coincidentally, my parents got something to buy at SM department store and wanted to have a late dinner at Pot and Noodle House which is also in MOA.
But it took us almost two hours to find a parking space.
There were too many people
Many irate ones too - I could fully sympathize with them especially if you are in need of a rest room but could not find any that is not crowded.
When I saw Ely Buendia from the humongous screen that you could see even if you're miles away, I reminded myself that I was not there to watch but to be a good daughter and have a nice dinner.
But in our attempt to avoid the bedlam, My parents and I found ourselves stuck on our feet and watching the concert. We were literally stuck. We were pushed by people--we could see the mall's entrance door but it's impossible to get there without stepping somebody's toes --so we just stopped moving and stood there watching Ely from the screen.
I am fully aware that my parents are not fans of rock music. So I did not dare ask how they were feeling but out of the corner of my eye I saw my mom's foot tapping in time with the music and my dad even recognized "Overdrive" - he hated this song so much but he knew the words of it.
That's the weird thing - -I used to tell my friends that I am not a fan of E-heads but I could sing along with any of their songs and up to now I haven't admitted to them that "Yes I like E-heads too." To be exact, they haven't asked me. They just assumed that I would not like E-heads and rock music because it's far from my "image" (a conservative-fragile-Filipina).
Anyway, whether I like E-heads or not it will always be a part of my happy high school memories
And watching the concert on TV is quite but not really similar to having the front row seat.
