“Did we get the tickets?”, I asked. “Well, it’s hard to find good seats!”, she said.

Few minutes later. “There’s one. It’s a good deal! So, we’re in, right?”, she asked. “Go for it!”, I answered.

So, we got the tickets!! The story begins…..

Note: My camera is very old. Considering, the photos turned out okay (I think).

====================================================

Tuesday, April 28, 2009. It’s Britney, b~*ch!!

====================================================

1. Pre-concert food………..bittermelon & rice, beef stew & rice……hehehehhe….that was so getto, but good!

2. Off we go! We still got lost!  Thank goodness for the GPS! (though it took couple minutes to acquire satellites).

Gotta love technology!

3. Finally! ALLSTATE ARENA.

We arrived early, so we had to park at the front. Good spot, but a bad idea after the concert. You’ll get stuck there forever waiting for people to move their asses off the parking lot before you can take your turn.

4. As you can tell, there were people in line already. The concert won’t start until 8pm. We arrived at 6:30pm on a very cold Tuesday night to begin to line up in a chill. It was freakin’ 50 degrees and very windy!

As soon as you enter the lobby, the souvenir shop is waiting for you! It’s $50 for a shirt. Oh, hell no!

5. This is the entrance to the center of the circus.Virgin Mobile is the major sponsor. One of their staff was kind enough to take a picture of us! Holla!!!

6. This is the stage. It consists of 3 circular platforms. The middle is the biggest.

And that’s exactly where we sat. Good spot!! Good job, Joy!

7. This is an hour before the show. The next photo was taken 15 minutes before the show.

8. And the show begins!  It’s the PussyCat Dolls. The opening act.

They’re awesome! Very good dancers too! We actually saw Nicole, the lead vocalist, before the show.

9. After the PCD performance, the crew started setting up the stage again. People were anxiously waiting! They were screaming!

10. IT”S SHOW TIME!! The curtains go up, and the CIRCUS begins! I mean, the real CIRCUS people! It’s part of the whole act.

11. Then, it’s Perez Hilton!

12. And the SCREAM begins!  It’s definitely deafening!!! (I still am. Well, it’s a different story for Joy. She’s already deaf to begin with…..just kidding!).

All eyes on her at the center of the ring just like a CIRCUS!

First song, CIRCUS.

13. More songs (Piece of Me, Radar – from the album, Circus), more circus act.

14.  Boys, boys, boys. That’s the song in this outfit.

15. If you seek Amy.

16.  More songs – Hot as ice, Me against the music.

17. The only ballad song – Everytime

18. Amazing production!

Songs – Freakshow, Touch of my hand, Breathe on me.

19. Hit me baby one more time!  Toxic, I’m a slave for you.

In this act, it’s all about the songs from her previous albums.

20. The encore. WOMANIZER & the CIRCUS-reprise.

It’s an experience. It’s worth the money. I’ve watched her concert before. This one is definitely my favorite.

All eyes on her at the center of the ring just like a CIRCUS!!!

It’s BRITNEY 2009! And YES, Joy and I  were there!!

Britney Spears has already conquered North America with “The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour“.  Radio station (we’re listening to B96 while waiting for people to move so we can leave the parking lot) says she seemed genuinely touched by the warm reception given to her by CHICAGO.

The big question is “how did it go? How did she pull it out all together? More importantly, what outfits did she wear?”. You will find out the asnwers to these questions on my next post.

Photos and commentaries to be posted soon.

It looks like our favorite Twilight cutie, Taylor Lautner, and Selena Gomez are an item.

Report says they had an adorable weekend date last week. They had dinner at the Cactus Club in Vancouver!

Well, what can I say?  You’re getting old! Another year older, another year wiser….um, not necessarily……hehehhehe!

I asked my husband for any comment while I was writing this post. I go like “So, do you want to say something for her?”. He said, “NO.”.  Okay, then.

Happy birthday Joy!

 

=====================================================

The story of her birthday celebration…..

1. 6pm. It’s time! Meet the food. Dishes she cooked – Binagoongang Rice (Fried Rice with shrimp paste) & Chicken Pandan ala “Suko Thai” (daw).

 

Bibingka (Rice cakes). They appear to look like clouds in this photo. Yum!

Chocolates and more chocolates. This one is the Filipino version of “whoppers”.

 

2. Her guests.

 

3. Hungry People!!

4. Facebook addict!  Updating profile while blowing up a balloon.

5. Karaoke addicts!

6. The competition.

The CHALLENGERS

 

The CHAMPIONS

 

Our intermission number.

The note was too high! She had to stand up on a stool to reach it. Literally.

 

My famous score. I was sabotaged. I swear!

 

Our only audience, the newlyweds.

Getting married is not just a tradition. It’s about making a lifelong commitment to your partner. It’s one of the most important stages of life.

Best wishes to Michael & Wilma!

========================================

The wedding ceremony.

It looks like our cousin is growing up! He’s not a baby anymore. He’s ready to face a different stage of life.

Few days ago, we attended his wedding rehearsal. It’s traditionally held the night before the wedding. This gives them the opportunity to figure out the logistics details of the wedding.

Enjoy some of the photos.

===============================================

Entourage.

==================================

Bride & Groom.

I don’t normally buy organic food/drink. One reason, you’re pretty much giving away your entire paycheck!

Is there really a benefit in buying organic? Is it worth the extra money? Most people say “yes”. In my opinion, not really. There’s almost no additional health benefit. But, the Whole Foods Market (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/)  near where I work is like a temptation that is hard to say “no”.  LOL!  For one thing, the hot food is great. Their juices are all natural.  This week, it’s a “taste of Italy and Mexico” for them. Last week, it was a “taste of India” (happens to be one of my favorites).

Yeah, yeah, I paid $2 extra for my lunch today. Big deal! At least, my tummy is happy! LOL!

Happy Earth Day!!!

Do your share! It can be little things. Today, I did not ask for a plastic bag for my food/lunch.

Even LV is celebrating!

Emma Watson is a French-born English actress from Harry Potter film series playing Hermione Granger. She is the new face of Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld.
