The Hale and Itchyworms Encounter!
September 11, 2009.
Morning.
We went to Jobie's house for our so-called Group Study in Envi. Ayun, sa palagay ko naman eh may natutunan kami, with the help of our very own Lilet Calumpag. Hahaha! As usual, most of our time was spent eating, talking, but when it comes to being seriously reviewing, I guess we did learned from there. Sana lang may matandaan kami para sa midterm. Hahaha!
Moving on, medyo mahina ang signal kila Jobie eh kaya delayed ang mga messages. What's new, Globe. Tsss. Palagi naman. :P
From the moment that I've known that Hale's going to play in this year's Singkaban Festival, itinaga ko na sa bato na dapat, kahit ano pang mangyari, matuloy kami sa panood nito. It's a free concert, as is sponsored by the provincial government of Bulacan to show and to get the youth be aware of what's currently happening to Biak-na-Bato and how to be able to help preserve it in our own little ways.
And so it was 7pm. And it's still raininggggggggg. It's raining really hard the whole day. What the? Akala ko di na naman matutuloy. Pero nagpromise naman si Joy na sasamahan nya ko kahit anong mangyari dahil andun din naman yung special friend nya. Hehehe. We packed up our things and luckily, the rain is not that hard when we left. Ang saya nga eh, dahil kumpleto ang barkada. Ang unang plano eh manunuod lang daw sila ng fireworks, if ever ther'd be one. But since it was raining every now and then, di na yata natuloy yung fireworks display. And guess what? My friends has stayed with with me... And that's all throughout the concert! Woo! What more could I ask for, yeah?
Lucky enough, dun kami napwesto sa right side ng stage, kung saan dumadaan yung mga bands paakyat ng stage. Haha! Hanep. We're just few inches away from the guys!
When we arrived at the venue, it has already started, actually. The host is speaking in front, I think he is a DJ from a radio station but I don't really know. Well, he's quite good though, 'cause the crowd seemed to be enjoying his presence there.
Then, the front acts. Not bad. We tried to be nice, and enjoyed their set. Ganun naman kami palagi eh. That's what I love about my besties, we find ways to enjoy each others company even though the most boring times. lol. I'm not saying that the front acts are boring though, but it was rather fun especially when we guys are appreciating it. I just noticed that the front act bands that they chose are playing Iska, well, most of them. And dang, we enjoyed it. Especially the band, Trick Or Treat, which is actually Jake's favorite. We were dancing in the rain, er, with our umbrellas not caring what the others might think. Bakit ba. Basta masaya kami, hahaha!
And now, for the moment of truth...
Here comes Hale! :))
They sang nine songs overall. Woo! Saya! I lost my voice. Hehe. Was singing along and cheering for them! We really had fun there.
The set list is as follows:- Kalesa (from their fourth album)
- Blue Sky
- The Day You Said Goodnight
- Tama Na Ba? (from the 3rd album)
- .... (idk the title eh. But I'm pretty sure it's from the fourth album)
- Sandali Na Lang
- Kahit Pa
- Bahay Kubo
- Pitong Araw
At ang pinakamatindi sa lahat, si Kuyang organizer, pinayagan nya yung isa sa'min na makapagpapic kasama ang banda. Lucky Jobie. Hahaha! Go! Di daw nya ganun ka-like ang Hale, at nagdadalawang-isip pa yan kung sasama huh. Pero tignan mo naman, sya lang ang nagkapichur. Trinaydor kami, er, ako. Hahahaha! Peace Jobie. :P We're thankful enough kasi natuwa siguro yung mga organizers sa'min because we were enjoying the concert, and most of all, ourselves.
Tapos, Itchyworms naaaaa! freak out, freak out, baby! We particularly enjoyed singing along with the song Love Team. Agaw eksena pa eh. Hahaha! What a night! Also, Arvin has taken better pictures of the band kasi mas nakalibot at ikot sya at nakakuha ng mas magandang pwesto. (The pics are on the photos page.) Too bad we weren't able to finish their set because we went to eat at Mcdo. Sayang, we were waitng for them to play Beer pa naman. Tss .They played it as their second to the last song of the night daw, di namin naabutan. Pero okay lang. We reallly enjoyed the whole show! :)
Til next gig! Yay!
Much love. Xx
