Sharing my Acer Day 2022: The Green Mark Concert experienced! PLUS how to be a introvert fangirl in a concert.
Ever since I decided to attended SB19's concert live, I always bought tickets for two. It is because I always want to have someone I'm familiar with. But being alone is not the problem here. 'Coz I can even go to malls or eat on the fast food chain on my on. But attending event is really different for me. Thinking that I will seat with somebody that I didn't know makes me feel like I'm suffocating. My hands felt cold. My heartbeats starting to race. Then my anxiety kicking in.
At exactly 3:28 am, I arrive on SM Megamall after my night shift duty.
This is another day of 'Bahala na si Batman'. Because I don't know what to do and who to approach with. When I see a crowd I just followed them and most of the time I'm on my phone. To look like I'm busy.
After an hour, the queue started and I was able to get a number. This is the time when I initiate a talked to the person on my front to ease my awkwardness because of the situation. Good thing she is fun to talked to. I also got a chance to talked and know the names of the other two girls on my back.
Fast forward, 10 am and we're still on the fifth floor of the mall. I got little bit panicked here since I still have a work at 6pm and the line is moving so slow. Yah, I know I still have hours to prepare for my shift. But thinking that I possibly working without a sleep is already draining me.
But thank God the line moved! Around 1:16 pm I almost near the ticketing booth.
And at last at 1:30 pm I got my two tickets. And I still have time to rest before my shift start.
D'day! Guess what? From Upper Box I was able to upgrade my seat to Lower Box. And this how my worries started.
I know many A'tin are approachable. We can talk like we are friends for a long time. This is just one of the impact of SB19 to us. But in Acer con, SB19 is not the only artist who will performed. So thinking that I will be seated alone, without knowing if my seatmate is an A'tin or not, and far away to my friends who is left on Upper box makes me anxious. I even don't remember how many times I look up to their seat just to feel that I'm also with them.
And that's how I felt on the first part of the show.
But every thing change when Parokya ni Edgar started to performed. Aside SB19, PNE is one of the perfomer I'm looking forward to watch.
I'm very thankful for PNE that night. I really feel that I'm one with the crowd. They removed all my tense and nervousness that time.
That is also my first time seeing them in live. I'll never forget that experienced.
Also different artists also performed such as Kaia and Adie.
Of course, the reason why I decided to watch the concert, SB19. At their first appearance I already felt kilig. I immediately notice Pablo's cheeks. I really want to pinch it. The other members; Justin, Josh, Ken and Stell like Pablo are all looking fresh and good plus their white and green outfit really fits them. I mean they always looking good, anyway.
Their cute but maangas personality are really shows every time they are on stage either they perform or just talking. They performed their hit songs What, Tilaluha, Mapa, and SLMT.
I'm also very thankful to those people I'm with that day. My new found A'tin friend plus my casual listener friend.
I never thought that I will captured it like this. I just notice it while I'm editing this entry. Look at Pablo on stage. He is looking at my/our side. It feels like he is waving at me. 🤧
That's how my Acer concert experienced ends. I realized that I really love SB19. That I can go out of my comfort zone just to see them. And I wish someday, I can see them closer and thank them how I'm grateful I am that I'm A'tin. That their personality, talents, and music help me. 💙
