title: more than 25 MINUTES too late... oh, well!
Do you know when you get older, you look back on your childhood, and you remember the first band or singer you fell in love with? I mean, I'm not that old but, yeah, I'm definitely older. So a week ago, I saw on a TV ad that Michael Learns to Rock is having a concert at the Araneta Coliseum on the 22nd, if I'm not mistaken. I know for some of you, you'd say "Oh yeah, those guys who sang '25 Minutes'" and not care that much. Not me. I squealed, "HOO ME GOD! Michael Learns to Rooooooooock!" That last word was the part where my notes went higher than Mariah Carey's.
I never really realized how much I LOVE them until that moment. Jeez, I remember as a kid, I listened to all MLTR songs! I know all the lyrics by heart and, surprisingly, I still do. I never loved a band more than I loved MLTR. Every one of their songs has a different wonderful love story. It was like reading from a book, but it only takes 3-4 minutes for you to be completely mesmerized. I like that kind of feeling. I like being dazzled.
Unfortunately, I wasn't prepared. I have no enough savings to buy tickets. I'd love to take Papa or, if possible, my mom sana. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opporunity I blew!! But, anyway, I'm really hoping I'd get another chance to see them next time. For now, I'm going to relive the days when I sang "Paint My Love" like a complete screaming idiot. I give my thanks to MLTR for making me appreciate music!
