When was the last time you have seen a live concert? Come with me today as I watch a concert here at Ayala Center Cebu. Hundreds of people flock to see the free concert of the famous Filipino singer Zack Tabudlo.
Ayala Center Cebu is one of the biggest malls here in Cebu City, Philippines and it has always been a known venue to several local concerts. The mall is just a ride away from the apartment where I am renting which is just a fourteen peso fare if you are going there by jeepney. You could also walk if you are keen enough.
On my way to the concert venue on the second floor of Ayala Center Cebu, I saw a lot of people lining up at this newly opened yogurt place. I don't know what the hype is all about, it may taste so good that people would really patiently wait in line waiting for their turn. I had no enough time to join the queue so I will try this any other time. I then headed to where the concert venue is.
The concert was bound to start at six o’clock in the evening and I arrived here at five thirty in the afternoon and the people were already in line waiting for the concert to begin. There were so many people.
One thing I love about going to concerts is being able to see different people, enjoy the works of the artists, and simply have the joy and fun of singing our hearts out to their famous music. Imagine hearing these people over social media and then, you get the chance to watch and hear them in personal, bonus, for free!
Zack Tabudlo’s band then went out to try their instruments and do a sound check. We all know it was then almost time for the main event is about to begin. Everyone shouted and cheered for Zack Tabudlo.
For us Filipinos, I’m not sure if everyone knows him but he is the singer of the famous Filipino songs like ”Pano”, ”Give Me Your Forever”, ”Binibini” and so much more.
Everyone took out their phones and took videos and photographs of him. We all sang to the music he played. Those are his famous hits. The crowd was energetic enough and they all participated in singing.
There he is finally after the long wait! Mr. Zack Tabudlo.
He sang some of his famous music and everyone had so much fun! Even if I went here alone, I still had so much fun.
Some realizations I had after watching this concert:
➣ We must always SUPPORT LOCAL. If we could support famous international bands and international artists, then we must support our local artists even more because they bring pride to our country, the Philippines.
➣ Even if you go alone to concerts, you could still have the same fun the same as when you are with your friends and loved ones. Nothing is wrong with spending time with yourself sometimes.
➣ Enjoy life to the fullest. We are only given this one life so we need to live life to the fullest. Go watch that movie, attend that concert, travel to that bucket list place, do whatever makes you happy.
Also, thank you to Ayala Center Cebu for hosting this free concert for all of us who would rather attend concerts for free rather than spend money just for concert tickets. Lol.
It was such a fun day and an amazing experience. I could barely remember the last one I watched one and now that I have finally got the chance to watch one again, it was all for free.
I then went back to my apartment with a happy heart and the LSS - The Last Song Syndrome. All thanks to Zack Tabudlo. Hope you all enjoy my blog and hoping you’ll see that concert you are looking forward to see. Ciao!
