For One More Day with Vanessa Carlton

This post is so late, but you know me 'better late than later'! Anyway, my mom and I went to meet a distant cousin at the EDSA Shangrila, after having lunch there and a little shopping we went to Trinoma to watch Vanessa Carlton's mini concert. When we got there I went straight to the concierge to claim my pass but the lady there told me that I was late! They already gave away all the pass! I almost freaked out because I've been waiting for this, there's got to be a way... Think. Think. Kristina.

We went to the 4th level and luckily I saw a cordoned area there, and it was the area of the live feed broadcast of Vanessa Carlton from cinema 7. I had no other choice, so I fell in line. And it was the closest that I could get to Vanessa Carlton. While I was watching the concert on the screen, my mom and cousin went for a little shopping again. Can you imagine I traded shopping for Vanessa?! That's how much I like her. The mini concierto was good, she sang my favorite songs and she also said some things about the songs she wrote/co-wrote. And she also said that she strongly believes that she has a little of our 'blood', as she looks like everyone here in the country. After the mini concert I met with my mom and we had dinner. We got home past midnight.

And you think I capped of the night just like that? No. I spent the whole night fixing my laptop, because when my mom was using it earlier she accidentally clicked on some fraud ad and boom! I got the malwarrior (malware)! I so hate those people sending malwares and will give you a fixed that they also made that costs a lot! I so hate them. I tried all the suggested fix I can find on the web but to no avail. The virus is so persistent and the worst thing is it used up all my free space on the hard drive. I know I had like more than 50g but it only left me with 45mb! Geez! Good thing before 6AM I was able to fix it by deleting it from the registry, and by deleting the account I created for anyone who uses my laptop.

Anyway, I finally got to read Mitch Albom's For One More Day. It took me three hours to finish the whole book. I love Mitch Albom! From Tuesdays with Morrie to 5 People You Meet in Heaven and this book For One More Day. This book is about a man who's given one more day with the person that really loved and cared for him, his mom.

I was in tears when I read the parts where Chick list the times when her mom stood up for her, and the times she didn't stand up for her. I can really relate to that. The book really made me realize some things about my relationship with my mom.

I read the book in a really perfect timing, since it's Mother's Day today.

Happy Mother's Day mom and to all the moms in the world.

Heyy! I'm Casie..
I was actually at the Trinoma concert of Vanessa, amazing!!
I got to meet her too.
Anywho.. I was thinking after the show how so many people don't really like.. know her songs, and only like the famous songs.. but I'm glad you're one of the people who actually knows her songs. I think. lol

Anywho, it's a long story.. I just thought Nessa was a bit disappointed and didn't get a lot of support at the show compared to in Glorietta.. I was one of the like 10 ppl who were screaming out for her and knew all of her songs.

Uh, anywayz. CHEERS! =D

Yeah, I really like her and I know the lyrics of the songs in the Heroes and Thieves album.

When I knew that I won't be able to see her LIVE (not live feed), I even considered going to Glorietta yesterday. Only it was raining so hard in Pasig and I felt so lazy to get up.:)
