ispeyshal menshun!

only in my wildest dreams....

i'm still "recuperating" from the NY trip last weekend. yung Sarah-kwento ko na lang muna. hehehe!

last april 11, we went to Sarah's concert sa New Jersey. i knew then na concert lang talaga ang maipupunta ko don, and swerte na lang kung abutin pa namin ang dulo ng pila for autograph signing. hindi kami makakapaghatid sa airport, kasi they are just driving to DC for the next day's concert. plus, tito ebet is driving us to NJ, kailangan naming bumalik agad.

simula pa lang ng concert, i think nakita na kami ni Sarah sa crowd. there was one instance na kumaway at tumuro sya saglit sa direction namin with a surprised look on her face. hehehe! but of course, that could be something else.

then something unexpected happened. binati ako ni sarah during her acknowledgements! *himatay*

nung nagpapasalamat na sya sa mga tao, producers, band members and others... she mentioned the popsters... at sumunod ang aking name! "ate.. ate beng? tama ba? ate beng?" *himatay ulet*
my ghad! i suddenly felt like binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig. wala akong nagawa kundi humiyaw ng konti at kumaway. hahaha! =P nagulat ako! lalo na yung tito at tita ko! pati si je, di napigil magreact. hahaha! nakakatuwa, sarah remembers me! *himatay ulet* hehehe! and to be singled out in a crowd like that, in a concert, wow, sarap pala ng feeling! ;-D

tapos nung encore na, nagtayuan na ang mga peeps at lumapit sa stage. so lapit din kami ng kasama ko. mababa lang yung stage, parang platform lang, so we reached out to shake hands with sarah. she saw me, took my hand, and said (sa mic pa ha!) "ate beng", sabay smile. =D ang saya!

tapos nung autograph signing na... paglapit ko ng table nila, sarah was all-smiles "ate beng! musta na?" and i replied and congratulated her. tapos bigla nya kong tinanong "tama po di ba, 'ate beng'"? sabi ko tama, ako nga si ate beng... sabay tanong ulet si sarah, "taga-saan po ba kayo ate?"... siguro nagtataka na sya kung saan-saan nya ko nakikita. hehehe! meron sa atlantic city (pero di pa nya ko kilala non, hahaha!), dayton (Ohio), orlando and jacksonville (FL), san jose and anaheim (CA), and then dun sa newark (NJ). sagot naman ako, sabi ko taga-florida ako. tapos si mark bautista na katabi nya nakisingit na "ay oo nga". then i mentioned "disney!". hehehe! gusto ko sana kumiss kay sarah kaya lang mukhang pagod na sya, kaya kumamay lang ako. i handed over a plastic bag with a gift inside, nakatingin lang ako kay sarah, nastarstruck pa rin. hahaha! ano buzzzz!

tapos ayon, nagcongratulate lang ulet ako, at nagthank you, then pina-usod na kami.

for the vid ng pagbati ni sarah, check this out: sa bandang 5:30 yung simula. hehehe! it's not my vid, i think hubby je got it on vid din pero mas malinaw ang audio nito eh. hehehe!


at yung sa encore naman, nakunan pala ni je! eto na lang share ko. hehehe!


gotta watermark the pics and vids pa muna. hyper hyper pa ko, halos wala akong natapos sa trabaho ko. hehehe!

grabe lang talaga! only in my wildest dreams.... i mean, for a Sarah Geronimo to recognize and remember you among the hundreds of people she meets everyday... and to be singled out and greeted sa concert nya. ibang level na daw ako sabi ni je, matindi na, ibig sabihin. hehehe! and to think na halos once or twice a year ko lang sya nakikita, pag nandito lang sya sa US, at nung nasa pinas kami for the EB. hehehe! kakatuwa talaga! =)

hayyyy Sarah. =D *grins*
