Pong the Fan: The Moffatts Part II

Hello! 😉

Am soundtrippin' while doing this one. Today is quite a productive day and a happy day! Remember, happiness is a choice! 😉 Okay, cool, too much of my blah-blahs. Let's get started with this one.

So roughly 2 weeks after the Smart Araneta concert, I found myself headed to the beautiful Club Punta Fuego in Nasugbu, Batangas. The moment I was informed that they will be back in Manila for a music video shoot, a friend and I searched and find ways how to get near them. Well, not really me, it's my friend. Haha. So just like a stalker, March 1st was booked and I filed for two half-days at work. Thank God, it was approved. 😉

March 1 came, headed to EDSA Shrine to attend the Ash Wednesday Mass and drop by our house coz I forgot my effing wallet - so wrong. (Thanks, Gibby!) After 2 hours, we arrived at Punta Fuego, such a beautiful place and of course, I love the sunset so I took a shot of it, some selfies on the side, and we lined up for the buffet. God, food was so good. (Thanks, Chef!) 😋

Show started at 8PM with a front act. Front act had 3 songs. Such a talented young girl. 😊 It was a fun show! And this time, I felt that we are really connected and reunited after 16 long years (Yes, I am such a fan! Haha!) Seems like we're literally just enjoying the moment by the pool and by the beach. 3 weeks of travelling is really tiring so their voices have been struggling already but it was still good. It was a short and sweet show. They sang 8 songs, if I reckon that right. I cannot get over from the experience yet and I don't think I would. I just love 'em to bits! Scott's been doing a lot of ad-libs which were way too cute! Have some snaps and videos to share. Enjoy! 💕

PS: I just had to - the girl host was beyond annoying. Punta Fuego is such a beautiful place. They could've invested with a good host. Maybe next time - ☮✌

Pong the Fan: The Moffatts

Hello! 😗

After 16 years, The Moffatts are back in Manila! I couldn't believe that after a long time, I would be able to see them in flesh and sing their songs with all my heart and lungs (wtf?!) LOL. 😘

Seriously though, I found the fan in me inside The Araneta Coliseum the night of February 18. Highschool memories, the songs, the cassette tapes, the CDs, their songs when they were young, the wallet sized photos, magazines, song hits, etc. - everything seems like yesterday. Sarap balikan! Iba talaga ang 90's. Simply the best!

We could not get enough of them and all the Moffattians who were there can attest to that. Naniniwala na ko - there are things that are worth the wait! (Hugot, Bes 😎) They would have been complete if Dave was there too. But it is what it is. They still got it! Pure talent. The ever supportive Papa Moffatt was there - he sang and danced to country music too. He was the front act - haha. Too cute.

Thanks to Duke (Kathy) for the VVIP tix. Panalo. It includes sound check experience and meet and greet with the boys. Grabe lang. Lahat may kanya-kanyang kwento about the experience - fan na fan ang peg! Kilig to the bones, ganon! Haha! Well, mine was si Scott nakaakbay sa bewang ko pero ung mga nauna hindi sya umakbay kasi parang pagod na, tapos sabi ko "please say hi to Dave for us" then Clint held my hand and he said enjoy. Mga ganon! Haha! And lahat don happy for each other. Hehe. Until now, I can still hear my heart screaming! And the memories of that night - now a history, will always be one of the highlights of my fangirl-ing. It was truly a teenage dream come true. I LOVE THE MOFFATTS!!!!! NAKAKALOKA!!! 💕😍😘

(thank you, Lord! 🙏)
