I am still on a high! 
I believe this is what you call a concert hangover. 
Yesterday was Katy Perry’s concert here in Manila for her last California Dreams Tour (125th show!). It was also yesterday that we bought tickets for the event, haha.The decision to watch her concert was really a short notice. It was only last Friday that I have convinced myself to go see her. Good thing today is a non-working holiday due to Chinese New Year (Happy Chinese New Year, guys!*u*). I asked le boyfran to accompany me since he also like some of Katy Perry’s songs.
After buying the silver tickets, we attended the Otaku Expo 2012 held at the SM Megamall. It was fun! I was able to see a very close college friend. I’ve also witnessed a J-music Singing Contest and J-music Battle of the Bands. They amaze me so much because they can sing the anime songs flawlessly. I knew some of the songs and I sang with them, hoho. 
I wanted to buy chibi anime figurines but I resisted! Maybe next con, yes? I bought red kitty ears and a geek eyeglasses (which the boyfran accidentally broke when we were leaving the con /sadface). I also managed to get some shots with some of the cosplayers! They were all so nice. ^w^
Aww, shucks. I want to cosplay someday! 
After that, we grabbed some dinner and then went to the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds! My feet were already somewhat tired with all the walking I’ve done in the afternoon. But when I was already inside – the tired feeling drifted away. My very first concert. 
I was one happy little girl even if Katy Perry will be really far away from me. We stayed near the big screen for the silver tickets area so we can see her, haha!
Unfortunately, we had to wait for three freaking hours. We arrived at the event at 7PM and it was supposed to start at 8PM but it started at 10PM. 
My feet were already complaining~ so I decided to sit while waiting. It really sucked that the concert producers were not informing us of what was happening! A fellow concert-goer who is a foreigner said that the people should already be booing or calling Katy’s name. She doesn’t get it why people opted to just wait – me too. Well, maybe because the SVIP to Gold tickets have seats while the Silver and Bronze tickets have none. 
Then, came 10PM – the California Dreams Tour started with a video and then everyone was already screaming! Her opening song was “Teenage Dream” then followed by “Hummingbird Heartbeat”. I wasn’t able to record those two songs (my favorite songs from her latest album!) because I was really enjoying the show and I was singing my heart out! 
Her final song was “California Girls”! I thought it will be “Fireworks”, hehe. She didn’t sing “Thinking of You” but she sang the acoustic version of “The One That Got Away”. Superb performance! 
Note to self: I should really save up for a camera. Birthday wishlist? 
After the concert, I could feel my feet screaming “LET US REST! WE’RE DYING!!!” while walking. My only goal was to take a rest and find a seat and then go home. I managed to get some rest first – recharged a little then went home happily. ^w^
Oh, lookie. Katy Perry’s tweet regarding the end of CDT tour:
I was sleeping the whole day today but my feet are still aching a little. But I am still a happy little girl~ *w* Hihihi…

Yesterday, I was in total pain. I woke up with my lower left teeth area aching. I took some medicines before I went to work. I was okay until it was evening when I was at our company’s year-starter party. It was aching so bad that I had difficulty swallowing the food I was eating. I had to eat and chew my food on the right part of my mouth. It sucked that I forgot to bring some medicines with me.
It was near the end of the program when I decided that I couldn’t take it anymore. I left the event to find the nearest drugstore and bought some medicines. I felt better but the pain didn’t go away. While I was on my way home, I could feel my lower left cheek area throbbing and swelling. I couldn’t wait to go home.
So when I reached home, Mama asked me to drink some antibiotic medicines and I felt great after. It was still aching but it was tolerable.
However, I woke up this morning with a really swollen left cheek. There was no pain at all but my cheek has gotten bigger. I did not go to work because I went out and saw a dentist. Well, she said it was because of my growing wisdom tooth. 
Ah, I told her that it was always there – peeking. And then it started growing again now! Why… 
I just wish the swelling goes away as soon as possible with the prescribed medicines. Sighing forever.

Happy New Year! 
I wish I could tell you how awesome my New Year celebration was. Unfortunately, I had a sleepfest. I slept from 8PM to 7AM of January 1, 2012.
Okay.. so why did I have a sleepfest? Well, from December 26 to December 30 – I was on a nightshift schedule (10PM to 8AM) but sadly on the last day, we had a high priority issue that required tough investigation and an overtime. I ended my shift with 16hours work! Boo.
Then off I went to the mall because I heard there was an ongoing sale. While I was traveling, I could feel that my head was throbbing due to lack of sleep. Hoho, but my stubborn self was determined to explore in that sale. End of story – I was able to buy myself a notebook!
After that, I went home and ditched sleep to use my new notebook. Unfortunately, to my horror – the CD/DVD ROM was not functioning properly! So I just stored it in its box and then decided to finally sleep after eating some food my awesome Mom cooked.
But I woke up the next day. 
They said they were waking me up but I kept on sleeping. I couldn’t remember a thing! z_z But I’ve read somewhere that what you do to welcome the New Year is indicative of what awaits you all-throughout the year. Does that mean I’ll be full of sleep/rest? 
Well, I doubt that… with the nature of work that I am in! Le sigh~ But I am still hoping! *crosses.fingers* :3
Anyway, I returned the notebook today at the mall where I bought it. I was thankful that they replaced it with a new unit. Yay! I was really nervous that they wouldn’t replace it but I’m just happy that they were able to confirm it was really dysfunctional so they replaced it immediately. 
Thanks to Premium Logic. :3
By the way, my notebook’s name is Daenarys.
On the other hand, I may have failed to welcome the New Year properly but I bet 2012 will be great not only for me but also for everyone. Cheers to positivity!
