on the phone with mike fuentes,
was insanely surreal and he was the sweetest ever. my friend called me and went: "Grace, do you wanna speak with Mike?" and it took me about two very long seconds to have that processed and before i knew it, THERE GOES MIKE'S CUTE VOICE that said: "What's Up Grace!" and i wish i could just throw my arms around him ;_;
basically didn't think twice about what i wanna say i just went on with word vomit and said how much i love ptv, and went omgomgomg, waltzing around Fish and Co like some idiot, hands curled into a tight fist and yups, prancing around like a lovesick moron because YUPS TALKING TO MIKE GAH. There was this tad (sad haha) moment of brief awkward silence, because it's really hard to voice everything out and pour a fraction of your life story to a band member HAHA but yups I think i kinda embarrassed myself when I mentioned to catch a green hair girl tomorrow at the concert, when in actuality i have teal dip dyed hair but it's kinda faded, so the green looks more washed out and quite blends in with my black hair.
aside that slight blunder, i am insanely grateful to alicia who managed to have mike talk to me ;_; and i really wish i could meet the band tomorrow after the show, just for a quick pic, a quick autograph and some huggle moments whee.
mike is so adorable, he was so sweet and i wished i remember thanking him for being so spontaneous over this c: (HAHA he asked how i was and i asked him back lolol.)
pierce the veil, has changed me, as a person and perspective in so many ways and i'm just so thankful i got to know the band. it just makes me even more determined to become an artiste myself, because i want my music to have such positive effects towards others, to help them through a bad day, to scream and cry over silly things, to laugh and sing (or scream at the top of my lungs sometimes because hell, vic's vocals is NOJOKE.) i've been through much shit, and it sucks being an only child because sometimes, you really need a sister, or brother to confide in and no one, but just them will understand, or at least relate a slight bit. growing up with much solitary in my childhood (friends and cousins aside) made me independent and tough, but weak moments for me gets bad and i find myself lost, and losing my mind. but then i got to know pierce the veil, and their music, and god i just love hold on till may, because i could relate to that song and i love it to bits.
(darling you'll be okay)
i never thought i'd see myself appreciate this type of music, but i did, and i love it, and post hardcore has changed my perception wholly and developed a new love for another genre. i just love how vic sings every single song, every single line, every single word with so much emotions, with so much passion and i dont know, it kinda just shoots me straight to the heart, a little tug and i get lost in the melody and lyrics. (and i love literature, so trying to figure their songs is always a challenge HAHA). how mike plays every single beat with all his might, all his heart, and whips his hair back and forth (HAHA see what i did there), how tony and jaime with every single strum of the guitar, and tony's goofy smile (WHY ARE YOU SO SHY TONY) and smiley jaime's fire energy (jaime and his cute smiles and i melt into a puddle of goo HAHA) - that's more than a band: that's family. it's always awesome to be doing something you love.
but it's the best when you do it with the ones you love. ♥
