Best moment in my life (without a doubt)
Last night, we watched the concert of our lives! Bamboo, baby!!!.... and oh, that's hardly even it. I was able to run the palm of my hand all over his body, and Oh dear Jesus in Heaven, he reached out for my hand and gave it the gentlest squeeze whilst singing to me my favorite song.... I was just one of the craziest fans there but he made me feel like I was the only girl in the room... I woke up this morning and still can't believe my luck! ARGH! But let me not forget all the bumps and humps that my girlfriends and I had to go through to get there...
We waited for like a.... um... a lifetime before Bamboo actually went onstage... For almost 10 hours we stood aimlessly there amongst the crowd, watching amateur bands kicking off their own gigs... It was boring, boring, boring... zzzzzzzzz.... Good thing we were situated front row, otherwise I would've left in two minutes flat. The time stretched on as band after band played onstage with people looking nothing short of antsy to see the man of the hour... one time a girl actually yelled 'Bamboo' on top of her voice during a performance of a nameless group, and no, it wasn't me, and to my surprise, she was actually cheered on by the majority of the population there... Okay, I admit. I was that girl. I was the girl who said, "Give us Bamboo. Get your amateur asses off the stage!" in the middle of a song from this novice band. Because I didn't pay two-weeks worth of allowance for those newbies! I wanted to see the real thing!
And I did see it. Francis 'Bamboo' Manalac ran onstage with an energy that blew us all away and sang "Kailan"... the crowd went crazy, i got thrown off the side by these bitches behind me, people were frea-king, i could hear girls weeping away and swooning for that beautiful performer. I just stood there, completely mesmerised. I didn't bother jumping up and down like the rest of the crowd, I wanted to savor that moment. I wanted to feel it on my skin.
Literally that happened in the middle of his third song, when Bamboo decided to get down from the stage and ran in our direction. It was so fucking unexpected that I froze shamefully in place and was powerless to do anything as he came nearer. He looked in my eyes... who would have guessed that? he looked in my eyes, and I looked back, but my hand stayed firmly on my side. When he was only three inches away from me, he reached out... yes, reached out becoz his stupid lovestruck fan (That's moi!) couldn't make the initiative of holding her hand out on her own due to total loss of any motor coordination whatsoever, and took her hand in his, intertwined their fingers together and sang to her "Oh, tell me what you want..." I literally felt gooey, and dizzy, and light-headed as it all happened.... Miracles were possible. God... he was so.... I thought I had an orgasm... For real.
So yeah, up to this moment, I am still in my Bamboo high, waiting and hoping for that moment to happen all over again.
