Missing Japan so much!

I am so happy that continuous exchange of emails are still consistent between me and Kazue. I also miss my other Japanese friends...including Misae, Sayoko, Mieko, also Asuza with her cute son...I forgot the name...also Masanori, Takumi, Otosan and Okasan and of course Ms Aya-san. Whoah! I love to apply again for a 3month visa this August...why not...

Parts of the repertoire last Jan 11, 2008

Pasencya na talaga at overwhelmed lang ng sobra...dahil andoon ako sa concert. :D
Grabe 'di ko ito makakalimutan...

So please bear with me na lang. :D

I was there!!!

My idol Richie Sambora singing These Days at Nagoya Dome, when Bon Jovi took time to drink and changed his wet tops after singing 12 songs non stop. We remained standing even while Sambora was singing to show that we also appreciate his great talent not only for singing but also for his guitar playing prowess. Woohoo! Sh#t ang gwapoooo!!! I love his red pants. (Iwwww...says someone dear) :D

'Xenxa na po...idol ko lang talaga. :D

Japan loves Bon Jovi...!

His arrival at the Shinkansen...

We were inside the big dome two hours earlier. Everybody went all agog when the concert started. We were all singing with Bon Jovi...clapping and dancing to the beat...It was really fun that night. Everybody seemed euphoric and smiling.

He sang 21 of his songs, half of it is included in his new album, LOST HIGHWAY. I just wish for his old songs and so he did. The audience were screaming loudly when he sang YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME, IT'S MY LIFE, BAD MEDICINE and others.

RICHIE SAMBORA also was so good singing THESE DAYS solo showing his prowess in guitar. I really admire the group rapport that until now they can do series of concert abroad. BON JOVI's voice hasn't change a bit, I can tell you. At napakagwapo...grabe! Sayang...no cameras and videos were allowed.

At napakaorganized ng pagpasok at paglabas ng audience. Japan style!

WE WERE THERE!!!

"...multi-layered look into the nature of love and life in all it's glory...LOVE like LIFE is LOST...FOUND...FORGOTTEN...and RECLAIMED in this collection, THE LOST HIGHWAY"

"Musical freedom to explore and emotional freedom to express what was in our hearts" says BON JOVI

"I was going through emotional changes that were new for me. An ailing father. Apainful divorce. The start of a new chapter in my life. I poured everything I had into this project. Every last bit of soul. At my command." says RICHIE SAMBORA




Bon Jovi's 14th Japan Tour...39th Japan Concert series, surpassing The Rolling Stones that made only 33.

I was there at Bon Jovi's Lost Highway Japan Tour 2008

Wooohooo!!!

I'm still esctatic! I just couldn't believe I was there last night. We woke up early and prepared ourselves, and going to Nagoya was  2 hour drive away from our place. Me and my daughter went to the Office of the Immigration for our visa. The process was so brief and very systematic...as easy as pie.

We both felt famished so we look for a place to eat...we saw Kitchin...lol...yes it's kitchen. I ordered Donburi again 'coz I love it. Shredded cabbage was refillable, also rice and daikong (pickled raddish)...but I didn't touch the plate that savours my palate not because I didn't like it but I was so afraid to upset my stomach, hadn't even took anything for my stomach but hot lemon. The concert was set at 7pm, and it was only past 1 after our lunch. We decided to stroll a little to pass away time...we went to Nagoya Castle...enjoyed it. A real castle and it was splendid.

Exactly at 5pm the parking was ready...
Right beside the dome was a makeshift store where souvenirs were available. We got necklace, keychains, t-shirts, jacket (whoah, the price!), posters, and the glossy official program. It drizzled before the dome opened to accept viewers. But the people was unmindful of it.

Dome opened sa wakas and we were ushered to a wrong seat number...to the gallery. But when we checked the number...wooohoooo!!! Dun kami sa nearest arena!!! Yey!!!
This was a chance once in a lifetime...and I am still filled with joy...naku po ang lola n'yo naloka talaga. Grabe dati pinapanood ko lang siya sa video. Grabeeeeeeee!!!

It was really a memory to treasure in my lifetime.

My excitement...

I'm eating my late breakfast now...so brunch na ito. Since I'm on a diet I have here two open thin loaves...toasted it with Meiji butter and had put some rubbery mozzarella mix cheese on top. Voila! ang sarap... :D

Diet ako dahil tomorrow is D' DAY!!!

Bon Jovi concert...woohoo!!! (pahiram Kat ha?!)
I don't want an upset stomach for tomorrow.
Mukhang 'di na ako makakatulog sa excitement...(I remember my friend Makoy...saying his private joke about JBJ...(che!!!) :D

Only a day away!!!

Yeeessss!!! One day to go na lang at makikita ko na ang Bon Jovi, si JBJ mismo at ang Master Disaster na si Richie Sambora...the great guitarist ng banda.

I remember offering eggs to St. Clare kapag wish mo na huwag sanang umulan if certain affair or ocassion is about to happen.

I'll keep my fingers crossed na lang. It's so sad that I downloaded a video of his TILL WE AIN'T STRANGERS ANYMORE with Leann Rymes but I deleted right away 'coz suddely embedding is disabled by request.

Bon Jovi on Lost Highway World Tour

On January 11, 2008...this coming Friday will be a very special day for me...'coz I will be one of the luckiest person to watch Bon Jovi's Lost Highway concert tour at Nagoya Dome.

Yahoo!!!

TILL WE AIN'T STRANGERS ANYMORE
(Ft. Leann Rymes)
It might be hard to be lovers
But its harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
Its time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
Ill just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore
Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Dont you think its time we say
Some things we havent said
It aint too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why dont you look at me
Til we aint strangers anymore
Sometimes its hard to love me
Sometimes its hard to love you too
I know its hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore
Its hard to find forgivness
When we just run out of lies
Its hard to say youre sorry
When you cant tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So lets get down to it baby
There aint no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore
We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore
