2. I wish I'd put more efforts on my concert ootd. I adore how some Swifties got creative and quirky. I felt old for that though. Meh 
3. I left my seat and chose to stand in front of the barricade from lower box area. Below is the photo from my view.
4. I decided not to capture photos and videos because it will be out online anyway. I just enjoyed the moment.
5. I have to apologize to the Swifties beside me. If you may have heard my voice in your videos, please forgive me. I just have to sing my heart out. That was the time of my life.

9. Did that really happened? It was unreal. Take me back.

Three years ago, I chose not to watch a dream concert because of career frustration. After passing the board exam, I had a hard time searching for the first job in the industry. It was February of 2011 when Taylor Swift held her Speak Now concert in Manila and I am but a jobless fan envy with all other fan girls and boys who were able to experience the one of the best nights of their lives.
After three long years of hope, Red Tour finally comes to Asia. Taylor Swift will be breathing the same air I breathe on June 6!!!!! I just can't hide the excitement. I just heard God whispered "I told you,it'll be worth the wait. You deserve this best one." Here I am today, I had a good paying job that will allow me to buy the ticket to the show I missed three years ago.

The journey to having the precious ticket.

1. The tickets got sold out in 2 hours. I was in the ticket booth minutes after that 2 hour selling.
2. I reserved a ticket from the promoter. He confirmed my reservation. The day after, he told me it was already sold out too.
3. I bought a general admission ticket thru bidding. I bought it at almost 2x the original price. I claim the ticket at the far far away place of Las Piñas.
4. I reserved a patron pass from MOA Arena scalper. Few days before the concert, they were fired from the job.
5. I bought a lower box ticket.

The memories of #redtourmnl





Words from the dictionary aren't enough to describe how happy and grateful I am to have experience the concert. All things are just wonderful and fun and surreal. June 6 is diary worthy, one of the best life records, a story of dream come true.

1. Closest Swifties with me are my Nixter friends, officemate friend, and cousin.









6. The set list was bitin though.




8. EVERYTHING WAS JUST AWESOME AND CRAZY AND SUPERB.



After the concert.
