I had a dream last night we drove out to see Manila

Bazooka Rocks, the Philippines' first ever indoors music festival, was held last September 30 with The Pretty Reckless headlining the show. Aside from their promising line-up, another great thing about Bazooka Rocks is that it's annual. Their international roster featured 3 of my favorite bands, along with other pop punk staples. Yesterday, a few bands held their meet-and-greet sessions and I was lucky enough to meet Mayday Parade and Forever The Sickest Kids!

I experienced my first mosh pit ever during The Wonder Years' set and it was beyond intense. We knew that the mosh pit was deadly but we were lucky enough to walk away from it with only a minor bruise. Despite our many misadventures throughout the day, my cousin and I still had a wonderful time. (If it wasn't for Sabsy, I wouldn't be crying together over Mayday Parade right now. Big thanks!)

The aftermath: I absented my self from school because I was sick the past three days. Not only did I lose my voice, my body also suffered from 12 hours of non-stop screaming with barely any food. Still, I wouldn't know how I'd be able to recover from one of the best weekends of my life.

Bazooka Rocks Fan Party

While my friends and I were enjoying This Century and We are the In Crowd's music, the lights suddenly went off in Araneta and the LED screen lit up with an announcement: the first ever Bazooka Rocks. The line-up was BEYOND promising. The roster included my favorites (The Maine, Forever the Sickest Kids, Mayday Parade) along with a few other bands whose names I've only read on AP (The Wonder Years, A Skylit Drive, Marianas Trench, The Pretty Reckless). I nearly cried when I saw The Maine's greeting then completely lost it when Mayday Parade came up.

I counted the months preceding this day and after all that waiting, I finally got to see my favorite bands again! My morning started with a sprint towards a steel door and accidentally bumping my head. I was literally bleeding while I waited in line for the passes. It was soooo worth it, though! I got to hang out with ~kewl~ people and meet Mayday Parade (YES!) and Forever The Sickest Kids!
