The David Cook Experience. 05.16.09
After what happened at SM North Edsa, Man! it was just the beginning of this whole adventure, I gotta tell you more.

Before saturday came, I was troubled of how we were able to give the 'Let Adam be Our Strength' Baller to David Cook, his family and his bandmates. I texted the whole clan about it, suggestions or anything. Then Ate Gisselle replied. oh okay, thanks. She's going to help me.

I rested and actually slept as early at 8pm but quite awaken at 11pm with Jaydon's message, ''Nagmalling si David Cook sa SM Megamall''. And I was like 'whoa?' I waited for his reply but he didn't and so I slept again.
I woke up at 4 in the morning and I was sort of feeling numb. I didn't even know why. Thus, I didn't want to do anything this day but then I texted again ate gisselle for any update. My gosh! I need to rush up things so that I could give the baller to David Cook. I headed to Manila to get the baller and paid for it. But before that, I had this test of patience. Haha. Yeah.. The bus that I got on was so slow, and I was like chasing the time but then I prayed hard for it. Next, I was kinda short in money to pay for the baller, there's no one I could run to but Ate Shinah and Ate Amor who haven't given me the payment for the orders. I was really freaking out that I might not get the baller. But God is Great! He made a way, Ate Shinah paid for it through Western Union. I planned to get it at any western union branch at Manila. TIME was the only thing I could think of that moment. Inside SM Manila, there's a WU, so I went there,I presented my ID and the lady was like, 'please photocopy it first then come back'.. Man! I have been receiving money using that School ID for many times and I haven't heard of that kind of policy... That really pissed me off but I didn't let that over ruled my heart, I sought for other branches then I found one, but gosh, the card number was wrong and Ate Shinah wasn't answering... all that I could do was to pray. Few minutes have passed. Thanked God... I got the money. Then I rushed in and get the baller. Seeing the outcome really eased all the things I have felt before I got in the situation. Man! It felt so good.
I already mentioned that TIME was the only thing I could think of and when it's like that, I wasn't aware of the money I've spent in food and transporation. That was like, 'what?, this is all I have left?' gosh! That was eccentric.
I got to MOA to meet-up with Ate Gisselle, at Italliani's we met with her mom. She told me David Cook and his band had a soundcheck early in the morning and they even shopped at MOA. Gosh! what? I missed it. Ate Gisselle even showed me their pic with Neal, Andy, Kyle, and Joey.. which was really cute.
FORWARD A LITTLE BIT.
BTW, Ate Gisselle, thank you for the accomodation and everything you did for me and for the help.

Anyways, I told ate gisselle that I would see if the cook-kulets are already there at the meeting place. And there they were. I didn't got tha chance to hang around with them before the concert because Ate gisselle already called and told me that we could go to Edsa Shangri-la and give the ballers. Man! haha sorry cook-kulets coz they were like begging just to come but we can't accomodate much and so the cook-kulets gave me their DCTR and so if I could get David Cook to sign in. Then I ran as fast as I could and we traveled already.
We got there just in time. I was stunned by that whole thing. The place was cozy for me and the people there were like royalty. man! I was so underdressed. Hereafter, a girl approached ate gisselle, some of the stuffs she gave was already signed by David and his band. I tried to talk to the girl if she could give the ballers to David and to his band before the concert starts. The girl said that they'd be leaving at 5pm but she'll give it anyways.
Haha. actually I stayed there and ate gisselle already left. While we, some fans, were waiting, some foreign bodies went down and stayed where we were staying. and Mike (I already know the name), in Archie's Band, did approach me and ask what's going on? and yeah. Haha just nothings.

This is absolutely my first time to do this kind of stuff such as follow your Idol's commitments. Haha, and so as an amateur, I've had an embarrassing moment. I talked to Alex (Bassist in Archie;s Band) but beforehand, I didn't know that he's in Archie's not Cook's. And I was talking to him about the baller. After such, he told me, 'oh I'm in Archie's Band. I was like, 'oh my gosh, my bad!' That was like humiliating.
It was 5:45pm when the davids actually left the hotel. I saw Archie, he's small and smiley boy. Haha while Cook was wearing glasses. He is indeed so breath-taking. That was my second time to see David Cook and my reaction was always, he looks exactly how he's like in TV.
We used the MRT for that and after, a cab. I went to Pupung's to meet some Cook-kulets. I made chika with them about that happenings at Edsa Shang. We all wore the baller. Haha That was heart-melting.

Then proceed to the concert venue. My friends were already inside and so I go looked for them. and there they were. I made chika with them too about the experiences I had during the Davids' Fever here in manila. they were like, 'buti ka pa, nakita mo na sila ng personal', Haha.
Nakakatuwa. well, gotta continue this tomorrow. time na.
NEXT: The Concert Experience, The After Concert Incident, and Adventures that I had while getting to Shang and while Staying there.

Leaving it a thrill for you guys.

Love you all! It's been a great experience guys!
