Penshoppe Fashion Show / Thai Invasion

I've been very much looking forward for Thai invasion in Manila ever since I've got news that Mario Maurer will come here to be the latest ambassador of Penshoppe. I'm not really a BIG fan of Mario, but when I saw his pics which flooded my FB wall, I fell in love with him instantly!

Thank God, we're able to get passes for Penshoppe Fashion show today at SMX convention center. 

Mario Maurer - Alex Mendoza - VJ Utt

Mario Maurer is waaaaay to cute! I feel giddy-giddy everytime I see him smile! He is too hot that it melts my heart right away! People, including me, were screaming when he came out to the runway! He is like an angel sent from up above and came down on earth to make ladies and beckys go gaga over him!

Thank You Penshoppe and Publicity Asia for bringing Mario Maurer here! Thai Invasion rocks!

Happiest fans tonight!

A chance to meet and greet Roger Federer

I am a big fan of Roger Federer and the thought of meeting him in person always excites me. My only way to see him live is to watch one tennis grand slam or ATP tournament. I've got to have lots and lots and lots of money in order to pay for my plane fare, hotel accommodation, food, game tickets and other more expenses. I guess my savings are NOT REALLY enough as of the moment.

So when Credit Suisse gave Roger Federer's fans to meet and greet him, I never let the opportunity pass. I joined their simple contest which will yield so much of a great prize! I just voted for my favourite ending of Credit Suisse's ad campaign which features Roger Federer, and viola! I got the chance to win a meet and greet in LONDON (which includes business class flight, and accommodation in a top-class hotel.) 

OMG! I'll be the happiest girl in the world if I win this. I won't be asking for anything if this precious prize will be given to me. I've been a good girl this year and hopefully Santa will give me a gift that I truly deserve. This is the gift that I am eyeing on. London trip, Roger Federer meet and greet... what more can I ask for. :)

And by the way, here's the video that I voted for! :) Hope they'll pick this one! :)

Westlife to split-up?

I honestly wanted to cry when I first read ABS-CBN news twitter account tweeted that Westlife is going there "separate ways" after 14 long years of success in the music industry.

I was busy with my office work stuffs when I read it and I was like shocked and froze like ice for a minute or two. I don't know if I'll cry or what. It's just soo sad to let go a significant part of your childhood too soon. 

I'm even convincing myself na "yeah, they'll split-up pero they'll be back din. It's like a break siguro". I read one article before which states that they'll go for a 2 year break and they'll be back with a brand new album. But still, it pains to think that you'll not be able to see them as a group. They'll go on and pursue their own ventures, but still Shane, Nicky, Mark and Kian is Westlife for me. :'(

Bye Westlife! I'll be forever a fan! :)

Now, I'm looking forward to seeing them solo. Sana lang umabot sa Philippines yung solo ventures nila. :)

The weirdest dream ever

I got the weirdest dream today.
And what's weirder is that I woke up 3 times in between and managed to continue what I'm dreaming about.


I don't know if I'm gonna be shy about it, but I dreamt of having a relationship with Shane Filan of Westlife and we were hanging around Duty Free with other Westlife guys, shopping for our loved ones.


Of all places to hang out? Why do my dreams chose at Duty Free? haha! But what's cool is that I loved the feeling that I am the girlfriend of Shane Filan because I'm head over heels in love with him and his voice right now after seeing him during their concert in Manila.


I have confessed that I wanted someone like him when I got married. Someone who looks like him. Someone who can sing and dance well like him. Lord, please grant me that guy I'm praying to you right now. I'm willing to wait, as long as you'll give me the guy that I deserve. A guy like Shane! ♥

Purely Westlife mode!

I've been telling myself that I don't need to make this blogpost but I can't resist myself.
Sheez this sudden  *Westlife fanatic* mode is soo back on me! And I'm listening to Westlife songs while doing this blog entry, omygod.


So what happened (to me) after Westlife's Gravity Tour in Manila?

• I followed Shane Filan, "@ShaneFilan79", Kian Egan "@KianEganWL", Nicky Byrne "@nickybyrneoffic" and Brian Mcfadden "@BrianMcfadden" on twitter. Mark Feehily is an exception because I followed him waaaaay before they get here to have their concert. Mark was my first ever crush so he deserved my first follow from the group! ♥
• I've been listening to their songs since Friday, over and over again! And I still haven't downloaded some of their CDs. I'm just listening to their 1st to 3rd album.
• I've downloaded from youtube all their music videos, burned it to a CD and will plan to watch it on our DVD player sometime soon. And the funny part, I was kilig all over when I was watching the videos. All my nonsense desire to them 12 years ago came back to me again. I was having a Westlife crush / craze again. ♥
• I read some articles about them. From their marriage to their children. I was like having my own dreamland that I'll have my own Westlife guy soon.

This is not good, me thinks! But I'm liking it. And who cares actually.. some of my friends are actually on the same phase like me. I honestly didn't realize that Westlife did a BIG impact on me. :)

Westlife Gravity Tour strikes Manila!

I never thought I'd be still such a great fan, not until I watched Westlife's concert in Manila yesterday! ♥

Sold-out tickets for Westlife's Gravity tour here in Manila, they surely rocked their Filipino fans.. the same way they rocked my pre-teen life 12 years ago. Now that I'm 22 years old, I can say that I grew up with Westlife. From their songs to music videos, photos and current news updates - I admit that I was one of the avid fans ever! And please read that I'm still around 9 to 10 years old that time. They got me through my grade school days and grew up singing their songs!


Yes, I am an avid fan and I can't believe that it's my first time to watch their concert. How's that of becoming an avid fan? When I first heard about their gravity tour concert, I looked up at the heavens and prayed that concert tickets will come my way, and God never failed me! I was able to watch them live - and I'm the happiest lady ever! :)

Their first song was "When You're Looking Like That" and the crowd when gaga over them - including me and my friend! I was like jumping and screaming and singing altogether, which is a sign of great happiness! Westlife was like the best boy band ever (for me) and I love them all! When I think of Westlife, I think of how my love for music and boys started! My heart was super kilig when I saw them singing and dancing! The perks of watching a boy band concert! They make the girls love them more. :)

My childhood crush was Mark Feehily and Brian Mcfadden, now I go for Shane Filan and Nicky Bryne. ♥♥♥ True to the saying that as you grow older, you change your preferences. All throughout the concert, I think they costume-changed 4 to 5 times which made them all look more handsome. I want guys that dress-up and sing like Westlife. I want my own Westlife guy! :)

Look at Shane's Mickey and Minnie Mouse t-shirt. Super lovely like him! :) You got the best voice and it never fails for me to love and scream MORE for it!

OMG Nicky! You are the most improved Westlife guy ever! AWARD! ♥

As what the coolest poster I've seen last night wrote: 

"Nicky, I want twins, lend me your genes!" haha!

Markus Feehily, what happened? I know we can be sisters now but you are my ultimate crush when I was young! You've got the cutest eyes and smile I've ever laid my eyes on. You're still cute though and girls are still screaming for you last night.

Dear Kian, you still look the same, didn't aged that much! I can actually copy-paste your face from the Kian I've seen 12 years now to present. :) So sweet of you to video the Manila crowd while you guys were singing, sweet guy!

The concert was a blast! Westlife sang songs that are not their originals. Like Viva La Vida by Coldplay and Bad Romance of Lady Gaga. They sang it while wearing those Disney inspired / Mickey and Minnie Mouse get-up. And then they made us do the "Manila Wave" which is soo cool as well! Reminds me of my UAAP game days! Actually Smart-Araneta Coliseum was jam-packed , as in super daming tao. 

We were at Upper A seats by the way and I actually liked it better than at the Patron side where we were usually at. Better view = less hassle. At Patron side kasi, people in front of you tend to stand talaga and even stand at the top of their chairs. Super unlucky if the person in front of you is a big guy, little chance of seeing the performers clearly. At least at Upper A, or best at Lower box, you'll be able to see them well and actually in lower ticket prices.

Every good thing must come to end but everything went really well as they sang "Uptown Girl" at the end (yes with choreography). The best BOY BAND concert I've been to, as in! Memories kept rushing back to me which made me realize that I am proud to be a Westlife fan. Everything's so vivid right now. All of a sudden, I'm the old, or rather young Marielle who listens and watch Westlife music videos. I do hope ABS-CBN and Dayly entertainment can make them come back again. Westlife Mania is still ON and we're craving for MORE! :)
