Tegan and Sara Live in Manila



TEGAN AND SARA LIVE IN MANILA 11/25/13


Hello there, I'm going to be honest here. I'm a new fan of Tegan and Sara! I just know the songs from their new album Heartthrob. And their past albums, none. But I love them! And I can say I'm a fan already. I've been listening non-stop to their album ever since a friend posted Closer on our group on facebook. I dont have the time to delve in with their past albums too, and I regretted it, cause when I heard some for the first time I fell in love with it.

I'm a big fan of other bands too, and one of them is Two Door Cinema Club (TDCC). I literally peed my pants when they announced their concert here in Manila. But it also chopped my heart in half. Tegan and Sara was on November 25, and guess what, TDCC's concert day dropped on the 26th. The problem is, I can't afford two concerts! Well I might have, with just a little push, but the dates!! the DATES! that's the major problem. If it's two months away it's possible, but back to back concert days? Just no.

So I weighed my options.. and I chose TDCC. I was so sad to let go of Tegan and Sara. So I didn't give up there, I promise that I would join every ticket contest there is just to see them live. 

November came and I became really anxiously excited about the up coming concerts. Then one day when I was riding the FX on my way home I got a text from a friend, "TANGINA!! CANCELLED TDCC!!" a tear was preparing to escape from my eye the moment I read it, but I held it in because I was in public. Deep inside though, I was laughing LOL the text was funny. But crying too, because I've waited so long for TDCC, and even invested my food budget for the ticket. And... poof it's just gone.. 

I lost interest in everything after that, but I told myself, do i really need to pull myself down when there are options to move on. So like I promised to Tegan and Sara, I joined contests to win tickets. I don't want to buy my TDCC money for the ticket too because my sister can't come with me anyway, and it just seemed wrong.. LOL. I was so bitter I didnt even go to Tegan and Sara's album signing, and that I regretted A LOT.
I was so jealous of all their pictures and I was a total shit for wanting to be sad more. 

Then the unexpected happened! Odyssey told me I won 3 silver tickets!! THREE! 

I bought a TnS shirt from the Teks Pabuayon when I got there just to feel legit about all of it. And then the concert....

Front act! Up Dharma Down! Seen them thrice in 2013, and I will never get enough of this awesome band!

It was an awesome concert! Just sad that the next night should have been TDCC's concert :( the next days hurt so much! I got PCD from Tegan and Sara and pure depression from TDCC. Haha But still, it was fun! Thank you so much for the free tickets Odyssey!
