Few hours after our plane landed from Bicol to Manila last April 6th, Hon and I have decided to watch U2 concert 3D version in IMAX Theater, MOA – which surprisingly cost us around a thousand bucks. The last time I checked, an IMAX Theater ticket costs around 350 bucks only… how time effing flies! Oh well.
Although I love their songs and the wonderful messages they’re trying to convey (hey, Bono is not only a great musician but a humanitarian as well), I still don’t quite consider myself a fan – unlike my Mom and beau. I can only think of one culprit – my age (I was born 1983). You see, during their heydays, I was not even born yet – or maybe I was too young to appreciate rock and probably too busy with Francine Pascals’ writings, art classes, skateboarding and Matchbox.
Now, back to the concert… it was absolutely great. With our huge, orange 3D glasses on, Hon and I caught ourselves singing our hearts out with our heads banging every so often. I was surprised that I actually know their songs by heart – and I don’t even consider myself a fan!
Now, there are some whispers going on that U2 is having a concert here in Manila (I heard, it is still under negotiation) before the year ends and am suspecting that the ticket prices will hurt some purses and bank accounts. And as early as February, Hon has been nudging me that we spare some bucks for this concert. I can only give him a smirk and that look in my eyes – as if they’re shouting, “the last time I checked, am saving up for my wedding or whatever.”
Uhm. Before I start blabbing nonsense, I suggest that you check this U2 3D out, feel the Buenos Aires breeze and sing “Beautiful Day…”
