Last night 7 January, Alden held a concert in the Dubai duty free tennis stadium. Aside from the disorganized organizer (MJP) - cancelling our vvip tickets to give to sponsors, suddenly adding barricades at the back of vvip thereby moving the platinum farther the stage and lots of front acts that seemed like a talent show (except for wondergray, love him, her), the concert was NICE.
Alden sang about six songs fom his first and current albums. Of course, the kalyeserye's thinkin' out loud, wish i may and the final song God gave me you. One song kept us wondering when he said that i think this is how alden feels toward yaya dub - urong sulong. We were greatly affected ha ha ha.
I enjoyed wondergray's comedy stint. Nubenta, an underground band in Dubai, is a real talent. And Filipinos are really talented, there is no doubt in that.
The show ended at exactly 11:30 pm Dubai is so strict with timings and all. Even Alden wanted to go near his fans, the bouncers did not allow him.
The best part for me was at exit when saw him passing by. I jumped out of the stairs towards him and asked 'alden pahawak' (alden can i touch you?) With the bouncers (really big guys all around him), he moved his arm toward me while his hands were clasped. I was like massaging his arm through his hand. Then the bouncer shouted at me, sister!! So i stopped massaging his muscular arm ha ha ha and tried not to faint.
We were also interviewed by Gulf news. ;)
It was a fun evening. Thanks Alden Richards.
