Music, fireworks and the stars...

Last night's Pop Pasko in Eastwood was a blast. Good music. A close encounter with the stars. Awesome fireworks. I was happy we were able to get good seats. We sat right up front and got to see Luke Mejares, Kyla, Ogie Alcasid, and Regine Velasquez perform. I must say that I am now a newly converted fan of Luke. I didn’t know he could sing that well. His own renditions of I Miss You and Who’s Holding Donna Now is really good. Then there’s also the popular 214 remake song. I don’t know but I think he sings it better than Rivermaya. I think I’m going to buy his cd tomorrow. Hehe

And then there’s also my close ‘brush’ with the stars. Before the show started, my cousin asked us if we wanted to meet them. Normally I wouldn’t go if I’m not a big fan but being the “usi” that I am, I went. We dropped by their make shift dressing room at the now defunct Country Waffles. Kyla still wasn’t there, stuck in traffic according to the guy. The other three were having their make up done. I actually felt starstruck for a minute there. Ogie and Luke seemed friendly. Regine wasn’t as friendly though. Maybe it’s because she was still having her hair and make-up done. So anyway, after brief introductions and a few pictures taken we left them and went back to our seats.

The show was a good one. I had a fun time. The fireworks in the end was spectacular. (There is no better word for it.) You’ll see it go way up up uuupp high and then burst into a rainbow of colors. And they say it’s just a small piece of what people will be seeing this coming New Year…
