post-april fools

time/date check: 11:25 pm, april 3
weather: getting better coz it's spring. but curse the endless rainfalls.

it was april first of 2002, two weeks before my high school graduation, when i was rushed to the hospital because of some heart problem. the doctor found out that i have a case of arrhythmia, in which the heart beats irregularly. i could barely walk that time, and i had no choice but to undergo so many check-ups and stuff.

the next year, april first was one of those darn days when i was coughing out blood (ugh) and i had to do many stuff because first year college was ending then. i remember taking the trig finals with lots of tissue on my hand coz, erm, you know, i didn't wanna see blood on my paper. bloody red marks of the professor's pen would have been enough.

but this past april fools day, i had a way too different experience. an awesome one that is.

i went to philadelphia with my cousin mae and her friends sam and jv. the moment we got in the car and started traveling many many miles to liacouras center, we were only playing songs from just a single cd again and again.

maroon 5.

we went to their concert!

when we saw them enter the stage, i couldn't believe i was there. they've been one of my favorite groups even before i got here in america, so it was really like a dream come true for me. well, it's because i used to watch them only on tv, but now i saw them perform live.

all the people were standing and dancing and singing like crazy. like we did. haha. and thanks to our new digicam with a big memory space, i sort of videotaped almost the whole concert. we've been playing it here in the computer for so many times already.

here are some pics. oh, we're not really close to the stage. the guy on the big screen to the right is adam levine, the group's vocalist. the last pic is with my cuz mae (i got a haircut finally btw).





i just realized, the transition from heart and blood to maroon 5 is kinda weird. hahaha.

there's a second thing about april first. i got a mail from jersey city, and... haha. will tell about it some other time.

on other news, i'm starting to get bored with my job. i might stop soon. just have to wait for a few more weeks before i'm done. thanks to that bitchy manager. and, daylight saving time has started, so the time difference here and in the philippines is just 12 hours now.
