There’s no band quite like Lifehouse. They’re the only one of their kind.
I was heartbroken four years ago when I wasn’t able to see them, being the poor student (read: moneyless) that I was. But last night, my dream came true at last! The band was even more amazing than I expected. I loved every single song that they performed. And they give the love they receive right back to their fans.
Lifehouse should never stop making music.
P. S. One of my favorite moments was when Jason performed little bits of their past hits while his groupmates were taking a break. That was really golden. I mean, the man can take on a concert on his own.

Things I love about today:
1. Lifehouse concert tickets - finally got them!
2. Early mother’s day celebration with Glendita
3. Found a harcopy of “Let the Right One In”, the book I thought I’d never see. (Thanks, Booksale.)
4. The barista got (and spelled) my name right without me having to repeat it. This almost never happens.
5. White Choco Mocha!
6. Found out that The Fray is coming to Manila next month. Been wishing and waiting for this to happen for years. And now it will!
7. Got lost and found my way back all on my own.
8. Seeing an unbusy side of Manila and appreciating it’s beautiful spots.
9. That giant chess game I watched at the mall (which I didn’t really understand at all. I was just amazed by the huge chess set).
10. A general feeling of bliss that surrounded this day.
I wish days like this would happen more often. :D
NEWS: It’s official! The Fray LIVE! June 21, 2012 at the new Mall of Asia Arena.

Dear Riza Jane,
You’re a force to be reckoned with, I knew this from the first time I met you. You know what you want and you give your all to get it. You sing your way through life and you brighten every room you enter. You have one of the most unforgettable laughs I’ve ever heard. You laugh like there’s no tomorrow.
I know I have my own quirkiness and sometimes you make fun of them but that’s alright. It reminds me to take myself a little less seriously. You know exactly just when I need some music, some chatter or just plain silence. And for that, I thank you.
Your faith is just unbelievable and is an amazing thing to behold. You’ve the courage to love with all your heart. I hope someday, at the right time, you find the right person for you. I hope he’d sweep you off your feet, give you toe-curling moments and make you laugh so hard, it hurts.
I hope that no matter what and where life brings you, you never lose all these and other amazing things about you.
We may not be bosom buddies but I consider myself lucky to have met you. I will miss you for sure. I hope your new adventure is everything you hope it would be and more.
Mamimiss kita talaga, Riza Jane! Sa muling pagkikita. Ingat!
Your favourite ;) housemate,
Aster
Going from Salt Lake City to Birmingham, that is, listening to live concerts of Josh Groban and then John Mayer. Such perfect soundtrack to pensive moods like this.
I just love these musicians.

So I finally finished reading A Dance with Dragons yesterday, after dragging it out for months. Yay for me! I am proud of myself. I feel like I finished a dissertation or something. I could even hear the graduation march after I closed the book one final time. LOL.
I am done with this book series for now (of course, I’m still tuned in for the TV series). It has taken a LOT of my reading time. Try reading five books with each books almost a thousand pages each. And the characters, man, they just keep on piling up with each book. At least now I can read books on other genres. No pressure on GRRM on when he’d finish the next book just as long as he doesn’t die with the series unfinished. (That would be a very tragic thing. And just sad.) I’ve many more other fish to fry.
(Spoilers follow.)
