Wanderland 2013
Before I start telling you stuff about this hippie camp that I attended last last week, let me just do a quick sharing on what I've been up to lately: I am now on my final week of review class, and I just realized how busy I've been for the past few weeks, hence the lack of updates once again. In a span of, approximately 30 days, I've managed to build a daily routine wherein I get to nourish my independence and in a way, experience being a "grown up". I'm actually getting a bit sad whenever it crosses my mind that I have to break this routine soon. Also, I keep telling myself to do an entry about it, but I always end up not doing anything at all (though I really want to work on it!). It's true, blogging still makes me feel so lazy after all this time.
But hey, let's cut it to the original subject of this blogpost before I get way too sentimental and weep (chos drama) - Wanderland!
I first heard about this music and arts festival over a month ago, but I admit that I was having second thoughts on its production, lineup, and... yeah. I only purchased tickets few days before the event when I finally thought about its potential. I mean, I knew I would give in. Why not give it a chance, anyway? Seeing live acts, going to concerts, attending gigs, etc. are some of the things I find very rewarding and gratifying, and I guess I can never really deny that.
I got my tickets off from a groupon and only payed almost half of the original price! |
The gates were said to be open at 11am, but we really intended to go late in the aternoon to avoid the very annoying heat. Contrary to that, it actually rained a little earlier that day, but when we arrived at 4pm, the drizzling has already stopped. Don't you just love it when the weather is also very cooperative? We didn't go in immediately though, since we waited for Joshua, the person who scored my extra ticket. He's very lucky that I'm his bestie haha! On another note, I was very happy to catch Yolanda Moon! They were already on their last song when we entered but at least I can finally say that I've caught them live......and not just on youtube hehe.
A toss of shy-purple sky with a touch of gold, a vibrant green field and a minimalistic arc with heavy technicals welcomed us. I made a research about the venue and found out that it was on old horse racing park. Now it's called as the Globe Circuit Events Ground in Circuit, Makati. This picture seems to show how crowded it was, but trust me when I say that it wasn't as packed as it may look like, which is pretty much a good thing. The event, as a whole, was very well organized. It's actually impressive!
