june 15, 2005. Hale-Mall Tour, SM North Edsa.

I was really waiting for this, and I really wanted to see them perform live.

And up to now, I really can't believe that I went there and saw Hale that close.

The meeting of the CYL officers was ajourned around 4:30 pm. I asked Theo to come with me. The show would start at 5, and we had ample time to go to SM to get good places. But to my shock, the place was jampacked with fans, students and adults alike. they were all noisily chatting, and yells replaced whispers in the crowd where there were different groups of people. Theo and me managed to get a spot at the left side of the stage, where cleo and LA were also staying. the spot was perfect, I could easily see champ from that spot I've chosen. the only problem I encountered is that there were many people, and they were pushing and pushing, driving the some members of the crowd to crush and outbalance many persons including me. For some 20 minutes I felt dizzy but I didn't take heed of what I'm feeling. I wanted to hear them play.

Champ and the band was very good. they played good live music. many people sang along, and yes, I did sing with them.

Champ and the others signed my guitar and my CD.

asteg. wow.

I love Hale. I love Champ Lui-Pio. Ü
