After work, burned rubber speeding to the Araneta Coliseum for Michael Bublé's concert. (I know we made a completely illegal u-turn at some point, as I'm sure it's not legal to go over the center island - ehehe!) Got there waaay after Betsy mo gradh did; by the time I made it to the restaurant (Cafe Bola) she was done eating her food. Good thing my pasta (which I asked her to order for me ahead of time) was still slightly warm. Finished bolting down dinner at 8pm, which was when the concert was supposed to start (yeah, but what concert actually starts on time?). Managed to find decent-ish seats (at the top of the freaking coliseum), from where the stage looked about postcard-sized.
Show started at 8:30pm, and Michael Bublé proved he's definitely an entertainer. I was most entertained, especially when he mocked the audience for taking pictures of him with cellphone cameras. "I can understand the guys over here (points at the front seats), but you guys (points at us lowly mortals in the upper boxes), you'll be showing it to your friends, 'Look! It's Michael Bublé!' and they'll be like, 'What? This speck?'" After which, he proceeded to flaunt his security, climbed over some railings and ran around the lower boxes posing for pictures. I did manage to get a shot of him, but it was still kinda far away, so all you'll see is his profile and a lot of screaming fans.
Also, the parts where he imitated an opera singer (singing the first line of 'I Will Survive'!), Prince (yes, that Prince) and Michael Jackson were most amusing :)
All in all, the concert ended at 10:30pm, and I had a wonderful time with my wuv (no! not Michael Bublé! Betsy!)

Interestingly enough, my Ixus 700 was delivered today, just in time for me to bring it to the concert :) Thanks to the Cititbank Rewards people for sending it pretty promptly. Now I'll be able to post better pictures (as well as capture some of the stranger bits of Divisoria life).
