Seriously, I adore David Cook to bits. ♥ Particularly during the latter half of American Idol Season 7, I see to it that I get to watch his every performance and go download his song, both recorded and live, as soon as they get released. And really, he got me with his version of "Always Be My Baby". ^^;
I think I got more hooked after he officially became America's 7th Idol. Immediately adding him in his
Official Myspace Account after his win, with less than a hundred friends back then, it was a suprise to me that he quickly accepted my request and even included me in his Top Friends List. And suprisingly, until now, I still am. T_T
When I first heard the news he was just surprised with how much his fanbase in Manila is, with the success of his "Always Be My Baby", and was interested to pay a visit, I was just teary-eyed ecstatic. From the rumored January to being moved officially to May, I was happy that my Dear David is sure to come and sing for me. Some months back, I assured myself, I'm gonna make things happen. Well. That's what I initially planned. -_-
Maybe because I just have sooo much going on with my life, work, other fandoms and everything else, the weeks and months passed me by without me realizing the big event's just around the corner. Magic 89.9, GMA 7 Studio, EDSA Shangri-La and SM North EDSA would have been incredibly easy Meet 'n Greet chances for me. And yes, both Davids are checked-in just across the street, a pedestrian crossing away from my office building. But... NO. All the amount of resources, contacts and opportunities I have, which I only get to realize the other day, simply got wasted and went down the drain. As I've told
jhing_tearjerky while wallowing in my own sort of "mess", this is sooo depressing. Where have all my fangirl stalking skills luck gone?! T_T
And so, tonight's the NIGHT. Instead of me spending a paycheck or two just so I can go and see him somewhere else, here he is, already in Manila, coming a long way and going through miles. If not for
xiao_tian_jelly, I probably won't have the chance to see him perform live. And sad to say, I haven't familiarized myself with his entire solo album yet which I only downloaded over the net. What's wrong with me?! x_x
I know for a fact though that my David Roland Cook won't disappoint me later. He'll surely swoon me all over again, even knock me over my feet. Standing tickets, Baby! Expecting the worst but definitely hoping for the best. Some effort but definitely worth it. Now, let me get back and pimp myself some David A. & David C. Songs. Lots of catching up to do. Oh. ♥
