A lot of my friends were excited about the Paramore concert.  2 days after the Manila gig, there’s a big buzz on the net.  I didn’t watch the Paramore concert but from what I read online I think there were a lot of unhappy VIP ticket holders because their area was switched with the Gold ticket holders.  There was no advise that they were going to switch the Gold and VIP sections –a compelling reason why most VIP ticket holders are asking for refunds.  Bottom line seems to be that they didn’t enjoy the concert anymore because of all the last-minute movements and the fact that they feel that they paid a premium to get a closer experience of the Paramore concert.

 

I wonder what really happened?

 

The concertgoers are there to enjoy the music and overall experience.  It’s sad to know that a lot of Paramore fans went home upset.

 

The Timbaland concert featuring Jojo and Justin Timberlake is already on March 27.  I’m not really keen on watching a concert in open grounds after a hot and tiring Chris Brown & Rihanna concert in Manila in 2008.  I guess I’m just not really big on outdoor concerts –being used to the air-conditioned and seated ambience of Araneta Coliseum. 

 

 

But since it’s Justin Timberlake and Timbaland and Jojo.  I can make an exemption.  I can feel that this concert will be a blast!!!

 

I surefire don’t want to jinx it so I won’t give too much details but… I met with someone from MTV last week and… *crossing my fingers*  I’m just all excited about it.

 

I hope there won’t be any last minute shuffling there!

***UPDATE*** Timbaland concert will supposedly start at 930 PM tonight to make way for Earth Hour. 

 

 

Rumor has it that Timbaland will have a concert in Manila and his special guest is supposedly Justin Timberlake!!!  I love Timbaland but shouldn’t it be the other way around –a JT concert in Manila featuring Timbaland?  At any rate, I don’t mind who’s on the spotlight but I would love to see both Justin Timberlake and Timbaland in one show -it would be one sizzling performance!!!

 

 

U92 is launching, which is the push behind the concert of Timbaland who is supposedly coming to Manila together with Jojo and JT.  I’m so excited to get confirmation on this soon.  My only gripe is, I wish it was going to be held in Araneta Coliseum.

The Ateneo Blue Eagles aimed to bank back-to-back titles when they clinched the first win in the final series of the 72nd UAAP men’s basketball tournament last October 1.  The game ended with a 78-71 score with the Eagles leading the way by 13 points since the 1^st quarter.  The UE warriors didn’t make it easy for the Eagles retorting with a 19-1 run before the end of the first half.  The Eagles however held on to their game with the 2008 Most Valuable Player Rabeh Al-Hussaini clutching an impressive game with 28 points and 14 boards and Jai Reyes piling sets of triples.

 

 

Game Two proved to be a totally different story.  University of the East made the most of the best-of-three finals bringing the series to a do or die match Game 3.  Ateneo received quite a blow from the Warriors being behind by 20 points after the final buzzer.  It’s been 24-years since UE scored a UAAP title and they want to discontinue that record this year.  Last time Ateneo pulled a back-to-back series was in 1987-88, Ateneo is vying to replicate that.

 

The heat is rising –a smoking Game Three to watch out for.

 

Game 2 Scores:

 

UE 88 -Espiritu 22, Llagas 19, Lee 13, Acuña 12, Lingganay 7, Reyes 6, Zamar 5, Duran 4, Tagarda 0, Bandaying 0.
