I packed all my things because tomorrow afternoon we'll going on a long trip from Bataan to Manila. Yet I don't know if I will manage to sleep that night so we had a conversation with my fellow Arianators in our little group chat on Facebook. Some were sad for not seeing the Queen for what they call #teambahay, some were happy and excited for tomorrow #teamconcert and some were delighted to accompany Ari on a buffet dinner #teambuffet, But I know they have only one goal and that is to see the most gorgeous and talented singer, Ariana Grande.♡

The chat ended at around 2am in the morning. zzzZ

On the next day, I almost looked like a Zombie for having a lack of rest so I slept the entire roadtrip.
182624567 hours later (kiddin'). After 6 hours and half of travelling, we arrived at the MOA Compound. I got a text a while ago from an Arianator friend that they were at the Arena since 4pm and they welcomed Ariana's van backstage (aww I'm so jelly). We almost stucked entering the parking lot because it's so traffic. The concert was about to start at around 8am but heck, I'm still on the car and I got panic.

Oh did I say that my sister and my boyfriend was with us? Yes, they came with us but not as my concert buddy because as they say they're not a fan of Ariana and the tix was so expensive (I can't force them tho I have no money too lol) hence they were just after the leisure.

Passing by the Arena, I saw through the tinted window tons of people who's already going inside and you will see a lot wearing cat ears too. I got more excited.

"Pa, stop here. I gotta go now pleaaaase?" I pleaded my Father.

Next thing I knew, I quickly hopped off the car and dash towards the Arena good thing I wore running shoes (crazy but I don't care that's what fandom do).

There's a security blocking the passage, I paused for a while thinking of what will I do. I observe someone first. "Oh, stupid" I mumbled scratching my nape. Of course, you should show your ticket and he will let you in.

Actually, this is just my first time in here so I really don't know what to do. As I observe, You need to fall in line first to get to the security checkpoint. While on the line, I saw in a few distance Sunshine Cruz (actress) with her cute daughter both wearing cat ears. Omg, a Filipino celebrity!!! I squealed inside.

My ears caught two people conversating behind me.
"I saw Jennilyn Mercado infront of us a while ago huh, where is she now bro?", said Boy1
"Ugh, I think she entered already, we missed the chance!", said Boy2
Wow, another celebrity! Ariana really makes a good impression even in the famous people here.
(Please check Facts About Ariana Grande 2 by lovelyclarnic to see celebrities who went to her concert)

When I got to the Ticket Collector, I gave my ticket and the assigned lady scanned it, tore it and gave it back to me. As I walked inside the corridor, I saw booths selling souvenir shirts, posters, albums and etc but wtfish It's way too expensive. I can't stop smiling and frowning at the same time (really weird tho). I'm glad because I will see her in a minute and sad 'cause I'm alone. I haven't seen my Arianator friend though 'cause the signal was too weak. :((

But then I'm so lucky, I won cat ears on one of the booths which I availed by just texting the SPINNR.

Thirty minutes before the start and I went up from 1st floor to 4th for the Upper Box section. I enter through a huge door that says 403A above then I saw what's inside, ASJJSJHHAJKSL! My mouth jawdropped for seeing such a huge and captivating Arena. "Wow" I mouthed. Theres no front act but it has a cool DJ in front.

As I get back to reality, I looked for my row and seat number. It's very dark so it took me a minute to find it. To my surprise, there was a girl whose already sitting on it. Oh no, what should I do? I remember my dad saying just tell that person that it's not their seat and call the authority if he/she didn't get off. So I talked to her calmly.

I discovered that it was also her first time here and she doesn't know what to do also (I feel her). And then, we chatted along while waiting for the concert to begin, from strangers we got acquainted. But then she wasn't sitting on her proper seat that's why in any minute someone might kick her ass off.

"Hey, I think that girl will sit here", she whisphered pointing at a person coming towards our row. I spy a chubby but very pretty lady together with her friends.

"Aww babe, Just sit on your respective seat, it's okay. I'll miss you", I said in sad tone.
"I'm gonna miss you too, see you some other time" she said and we both waved for goodbye.

The lady which I think was around 25 sat beside me and munch on her snack. A minute after, We spotted the Lizquen (celebrity couple) from afar whose surrounded by a big bunch of securities. Finally, after another minute the place got darker and all you can hear was the crowd's screaming hysterically. This is iiiiiiit!
