Last night was the night I will never forget.

Great bands, new friends, a cute shirt and a date. All in one night.

It wasn't l0ng before we reached Vega Bar, the place where the Philippine National Associationof Skateboarders Inc.(P.N.A.S) held their gig entitled For da Love of Music and Skateboards. I was their first fund raising event aiming to help and support skateboarders (and promote the sport) in the country. It was just a gig though (you might ask if they had a skateboarding competition) with bands from different genres and walks of life.

We arrived a little early, just enough to find our tables and get some drinks (actually someone paid for them). We waited for awhile before the first band, R.O.C.K. , played onstage. Jordan, the disc jock of Against the Flow on NU107, was actually the drummer of that band. They played not-so-alternative-but-not-so-hardcore songs with good, christian lyrics. The next band is Bought by Blood, a hardcore band, and followed by Hopskatch, a very makulit ska band. Other bands that played are: Magdalena, All Under Heaven, No Turning Back, Kuyog Hangin and Holding On being the last act. All in all, the gig was successful, and inspite of some technical problems, everything went well.

New friends.

In the middle of my boredom and thoughts as to where my companion is, I decided to go out of the bar for awhile. I saw her chatting with some people and joined them. Eventually, I got to know those astig and cute guys in front of us. The nice part is, thet're also punks and I'm glad that I met them coz somehow I got people whom I can relate to when it comes to the music I'm listening. I've also met some of the organizers and members of P.N.A.s (all of them are skaters from different parts of the country) and members of some bands.

A cute shirt.

While bands are setting up their musical weapons onstage, the host would go up onstage to somehow keep the crowd in tune. He then held a contest wherein he will give away a P.N.A.S shirt to the first person to go up in front and answer the question correctly. Ok. I really don't know what moved me to go up onstage when in fact I didn't know the answer! Sounds funny right? But think positive: Exposure..teehee!! Anyway, there was a second question, and of course I wouldn't let that night end with me feeling bothered because of what happened. So I went up onstage the seconf thime around and finally got the right answer (and the t-shirt!). I think people there also remember me for that coz when I was introduced to a member of Bought by Blood, he said "Oh, you're the girl who got the shirt and went up twice onstage!" I told you: Think positive: Exposure. Claim to fame.

And a date

Have you ever met someone in your entire life an extraordinarily cute, cool, friendly, kind, funny and sociable skateboarder and musician in one who is so fluent in english and has every connection to almost all the famous personalities in alsmost every field? Well, I did, and I'm really gald I've met him.

Vaughn is the host of last night's event. I didn't expect that I would be close to him, that we would have things in common and that he would teach me a lot of things, like playing the guitar. We still hung out after the gig...if I'll narrate all the stuffs we've talked about..whew..it would fill half of my page.. Anyway, if you're reading this Vaughn, thanks for everything..and I do miss you.. =P

So much for all the coolness and sparks in the sky..last night was indeed what you call a night, a night I will truly never regret and forget.
