A Taylor Swift Closeted Fan Experience

Im sure by now, everyone know who Taylor Swift is, if not, "Where ins the World are you?" . Im rewinding 10-12 years ago when majority of the people only knows about Taylor Swift because she writes song about her exes, I was a Closet Taylor Swift fan then. Like any other Swifties (what you call Taylor Swift's fans) I think, her lyrics are relatable and she has perfected a formula for a catchy tune to her songs that makes it linger in your head. So, when she anounced about her Eras Concert tour I am one of the million people queued to actually see her in person. I queued for the Levi's Stadium concert in Satana Clara CA and then the one in London for June 2024 and then in Toronto for November 2024 but just like millions of her fans I was not fortunate enough to score tickets to her concert. Much to her Swifties delight that Taylor Swift decided to show her concert to cinemas. Well, of course I am going to watch it. My friend and I watched the concert as also a way to catch up and in this blog entry I'd like to share our honest opinion about the concert. I promise it's an honest opinion despite me being a Swifty, my friend isn't I just dragged her with me to watch.
First, the setlist. It tells you the story of the concert, of Taylor Swift's music which totally makes sense because that was the actual goal of the Eras tour. Im a little bit disappointed about other familiar songs that didn't make the cut like "Wildest Dreams" which is one of my fave. Although towards the middle during the Evermore Era, it melllows down and it make you yawn a little. Also, it kind of reminds me of Twilight movie. It's foggy, feels like a fairy tale, with vampires and werewolves. Second, the stage. Kudos to the stage designer and to the team that conceptualize the design. Again, its a storytelling in a different medium, which again connects to TS music as she is a great stryteller through her songs. I love the fact thay they thought of designing even the smallet details. The mic for example, she has matching mic to every outfit she wore. If its the sprkly gold then the mic whould match that, even the woods stage have a matching mic. Let's not forget about the Piano which also matches the set. The wireless mic receiver, you usuually see this clipped at the back of the artist's bottoms but in Taylor Swift's Era's tour it has its own pocket that you hardly see because it camouflages in her outfit. How Cool is that? And speaking of outfit, another round of applause, no, a standing ovation to her warddrobe staff because everything just screams WAAAAAA! It screams "Look at me" It's Sparkly! Catchy! I would wear it and I dont care if I will look like a walking mirror ball. It's appropriate for a big concert, it makes you look at her more and retains that attention. And Lastly, I admire and commend the marketng strategy of Taylor Swift's team because this is no doubt a success for them. I also liked the fact that it brought jobs and money to every city they performed. Economically speaking that is a big boost. There is also a talk about Taylor Swift ditching the middle man when she diecided to release the concert in theaters, that means more money for her and the theaters. If any of you is not familiar how theaters earn a profit, please google. That's another topic I am not too familiar to write about. My friend an I went to a screening where the theater isn't that packed and no one turned the cinema into a concert stadium but still we enjoyed the experience and still sang our hearts out with the other cinema goers. I hear that Beyonce is doing the same thing with her Renaissance tour concert, I'm thinking of seeing that as well, though I am not a fan but equally curious how her concert was. This is it for now, until my next blog entry. Thanks for reading.

My Pot of Gold

At the End of the Rainbow there's a pot of Gold, and I've found mine after years of hunting and waiting. I know a lot of bloggers have blogged about this, how heavenly they tasted and how they crave for more, but I just want to share the reason why I bought the ice cream and why I am blogging about this… When I was a kid, since my Dad likes English movies, I was exposed to Hollywood movies, I would cover my eyes if there’s a kissing scene or learn a few English bad words but I can not forget how they depict that ice cream is a good comfort food which I learned when I grew a little older that it was a great comfort food, but since I was a kid I would wish that I can eat ice cream the way Hollywood stars eat their ice cream in the movies. From the dark covered pint cup, with their silver spoon digging to the creamy and tasty ice cream that waters in their mouth that would always make their eyes close savoring the flavor. I don’t know with others but we eat our ice cream in...

I came from a family who works abroad, halos lahat sila, actually konti na nga lang kami dito sa Pilipinas e. Anyway, back sa topic. My sister lives in UK been there for quite some time and she went here in the Philippines after 5 years and the first thing she asked me to do is Dial 8-7000 (singing: Jollibee Delivery). My Dad is in USA for, well, a very long time now and once in a awhile if there is a family friend visiting Philippines we will ask them to bring my dad several frozen tapa from the famous Maty's in Prañaque which is in a microwavable container. Filipinos can endure the work and long hours abroad but they can't really resist not to look for Filipino food. I remembered my cousin who's in Singapore she was telling us how she craved for ric...
