"wag mo sasabihin kay ate na sinabi ko sayo!"

this totally made my day.. hehehe..

about an hour before the bandfest started i found myself walking outside the auditorium to get myself a drink... well, i got that, and Nikki's company along with her friend, too.

to make the long story short the best surprise of my life came when Nikki told me that Kim was gonna make it to my gig. i swear i couldn't stop jumping for joy, cuz my only birthday wish came true.. seriously.

after that i excused myself to go backstage where i lost all signs of poise and composure; i was jumping all over the place.

to pump more adrenalin - i suppose - i went back to the line near the auditorium entrance to look for Nikki and ask if she was there already.. but lo and behold, instead of seeing only Nikki, i saw Inez, Sebb, Joao.. aaaaand... a certain person facing Inez wearing brown stripes. i need not see the face, because i can tell from the way her hair falls...

my only wish came true... Kim made it.

i almost wasn't able to hold the excitement back, but i knew i had to, so i told Inez to not tell Kim i saw them na, then i headed backstage again and celebrated.. hehehe.

.........come my set.........

they were all expecting me to go up from stage left, but i went in stage right, primarily 'cuz the guitar i was to use was on stage right, therefore leaving my entrance unexpected by the hosts.. a little interview here, shoutout there...shoutout na yan. tama ba naman na sumakto sakin na yung shoutout nila para sakin eh "i love you____" tapos kelangan talaga someone, hindi something.XD well, to play it safe i said i was gonna do that shoutout after the 1st song...

"Man on the Side"
words and lyrics by John Mayer

Six numbers
One more to dial
Before I'm before you

I tried to call
Been busy all night
Gave up waiting at daylight

Excuse me Mrs. busybody
Could you pencil me in when you can?
Though we both know
That the worst part about it
Is I would be free when you wanted me
If you wanted me

Oh, I am the man on the side
Hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
Life as the man on the side

One of the many
But one of the few
To stand back and wait for you

Excuse me Mrs. busybody
Could you pencil me in when you can?
Though we both know that the worst part about it
Is I won't be free when you wanted me
If you wanted me
If you wanted me

Oh, I am the man on the side
Hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
Life as the man on the side
Life as the man on the side

I fell in love with a dream that I built of you
Playing the part of the queen
Taking my own advice
I'm giving up tonight
Good luck to you and the king

Excuse me Mrs. busybody
Could you pencil me in?
Though we both know that the worst part about it
Is I would be free when you wanted me
If you wanted me
If you wanted me

I am the man on the side
Hoping you'll make up your mind
I am the one who will swallow his pride
Life as the man
You know life as the man
Living life as the man on the side

tapos... o ayan na! back to okray session again.. hehehe.... to play it safe i just said, "kung sino man yung taong nasa shoutout ko alam na nya kung sino sya.." but when the hosts weren't looking i looked at her straight in her eyes.. and mouthed the shoutout.

but then again one saw, and made a big fuss about it.. haha. tuloy, pati sila Inez, Joao, Sebb chka Nikki pinagtututuro si Kim sa mga hosts.. hahaha. i remember it nga eh.. they were all shouting "naka-stripes!" wala lang... very funny. 2nd song...

"Why Georgia" by John Mayer.....

tapos alis na ako sa stage.. and sat beside Kim.. walked out of the auditorium with Inez, Joao and Sebb.. then they left, giving me the time to spend the rest of the day with my love, her sister, and later on dinner with her whole family.

case closed.
