David Cook live in Manila 2012

I have always been a fan of Mr. David Cook, ever since his American Idol days. I watch it everytime it airs on television. I also preferred him than David Archuleta. And was absolutely happy when they announced that the winner of the American Idol season 7 was none other than David, and of course, David Cook!

Just in case some of you do not know how he got into American Idol, I will narrate it briefly. He didn't really enter for American Idol. It was his brother who joined American Idol. But David was asked by the judges back then, I think it was the last year where Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell were there, to sing. And he got in! And from then on he improved and was announced the winner of the 7th season of the American Idol. Talk about getting lucky!

It was 2008 when he won the American Idol. In 2009, David Cook together with David Archuleta came to Manila for a one night concert in the SM MOA concert grounds. Tell you guys, I was there! Yup! I was at that concert! Haha. Told you I was a fan since then. :))

Actually, my Ninang Peeyay here is the one who is soooooooo hook up with David Cook. She's responsible for bringing me to these David Cook concerts. But I'm actually glad and happy about it. No regrets, just love. <3

I was so happy when I heard about the news that David Cook is coming back to Manila. Immediately bought our tickets to the show online and voila! We're ready!

The day has finally arrive. I'm very very very sorry for the very very low-res photos. I was having a hard time fighting against the lights. :/

Hope he comes back for the 3rd time and I wouldn't miss it in the world! :)

Nicki Minaj Pink Friday Tour in Manila

This be the concert of the year! I can't contain my emotions. I'm so happy! So happy that I finally got to see Ms. Nicki Minaj live. I just love her!

Tell you what, Nicki Minaj is pretty. Inside and out! I'm sure of that. She was smiling the whole time! And that's what I love about her the most.

I think she almost cried because of happiness. Because of all the people whose eyes are all on her. Because of how we showed how we love her. Gotta love this barbz!

The way you hear her voice in her songs, that's exactly what you will hear when she's live. Exactly the same!

Good to know that she sang most of my favorite songs of her. I was really hoping that she would perform Automatic, Whip It and Marilyn Monroe, turns out she really did! Yaaay!

One of my favorite parts was Automatic. I was totally singing my heart out! I was jumping up and down and didn't care about the people around me. All hands up in the air with matching screaming and jumping. Oh yeaaah! I was having the time of my life! It feels like dancing-like-no-one's-watching.

Another favorite part was Whip It. Well, most people do not know this song, and Automatic, but I was at my highest rush that I screamed and jumped to the maximum.

"This song is for the man who broke my heart." -Nicki Minaj, then she sang Fire Burn. You piece of sh*t, you broke me down. And after that song, "and this song is for the man who's heart I broke," then she sang Save Me.

And yes, Super Bass. Her finale song. Everyone was singing and dancing to it! So happy that everyone is having so much fun!

And more and more and more and more happened. I just don't know how to start telling you. Honestly. Hahaha. Still got the Pink Friday hangover. :))

I took some photos and videos, of course, but not that much because I'd rather scream, sing and jump than to document the show. But at least I have a few just for the sake of having some. These are just some because most of my shots were blurry because I was so busy jumping. Haha. Will just post the videos soon.

By the way, Jaja and I got the Patron Blue tickets. Yaaay!

At the venue @ MOA, Arena.

Was with my more die-hard Nicki Minaj fan sister Jaja.

And me of course.

She's heeeeereeee!

First attire. Favorite! :)

Second attire. She looks more like a princess here. And look! She's smiling too. :)

Third attire. All pink pretty dress.

Fourth attire. Love it! So Nicki Minaj!

She already said her goodbye but we kept on chanting "We want more!" so she went out with her pink robes on! Such a cutie!

She said that she will never ever forget Manila. It reminds her of her hometown and that Filipinos will always have a special place in her heart. Sweeeet. :)

Plus! Just in case you don't know, Philippines is the only country in Asia that she's visiting. Way to go Globe and BlackberryPH!

By the looks of it, Nicki will surely come back. And when that time comes, I'll be at the front row Ms. Nicki. I'll see again, up really close. :)

After singing my heart out last night, here I am, blogging, with no voice. Hahaha.

Thank you so much Globe and Blackberry Pilipinas! This is all on you guys! Thank you so much! We had sooooooooooooo much fun!

I have a lot more to tell you guys but I don't know how. So odd. Haha.

This has to be my second favorite concert so far, next to Paramore. Love you barbz!

I had so much fun! How about you? Share your Pink Friday Manila experience too! :)
