I just went for my Maroon 5 concert last night with Taryn and it was a blast.

Honestly, I've always been wanting to go but because the tickets (best seats that is) were $780, I decided to wait to see if anyone would sell their tickets online last minute. Usually those tickets are sold at a huge discount and, I am not going to repeat my mistakes with the Hurts concert I missed because of the damn exams.

By Friday night I had sort of given up hope on going since the tickets were still being sold for at least $700. And then, let me just say yesterday, was probably the most amazing Saturday I have ever had in a long time. I woke up at about 9 to catch Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in the cinemas (JOHNNY DEPP IN 3D!) and never did I expect the first thing my dad said to me when I was down was, "They are selling Maroon 5 tickets 2 for $800, are you interested?" Hell yeah I was. We rang the people up and apparently, it was in block 15, Row A seats 10 and 11, very, very good seats. In fact, it's seated in the best seats area. So yep, first person I rang was my concert buddy Taryn who called me back about 20 minutes later telling me she could make it. And then my dad called to confirm the tickets.

Oh my god. I mean. I just bought Maroon 5, tickets, on the day itself. Row A seats. I was literally screaming and jumping up and down on the spot. I mean, not only was I going to watch Pirates of the Caribbean (which I've been dying to ever since I heard about the fourth part) but I'm going, to watch, Maroon 5. Row A. Live. That night.

Last night was a blast. I mean the seats were great because we were seated (no more standing concerts after that experience at MGMT) and we were in the front. We brought our big cameras to take loads of photos, only to find out it was not allowed. Unable to control our excitement, big mistake on our part to dish out our cameras immediately once we sat down and instantly this guard in front was telling us, "You can't take photos here, your cameras are too big". No, honestly, do we look like we're going to do something with those photos? Hello? It's Maroon 5. I mean, seriously? So ever since then, she was standing right in front of Taryn and I, staring at us the whole time. As if things weren't bad enough, the steward had to sit (on the steps of the stairs) right next to me.

Throughout the whole concert we managed to sneak about 100 shots, half of which were pretty sharp so I'd say we did amazing, considering that we were being watched (literally) the whole time. I believe she even told us off at least 5 times and I guess at the end she was already pretty pissed but who cares, I'm not going home without any photos on my big camera. Hee, guess who's on my desktop wallpaper now.

Taryn and I were basically screaming our heads off and screaming to the lyrics, I, especially when they played my two favourite songs - Makes Me Wonder and She Will Be Loved. I literally screamed and sang along which I have never done before. They were so amazing live that words cannot even describe the hyped and awesomeness I felt. Adam was so hot, oh gee thank god Taryn and I brought our bincoulars (Yes, you did not read that wrong. Binoculars) so that we could get a closer look at the band which came in very very handy because most of the time, we were using it to get a much closer view. Adam, so hot.

And dammmnn those lucky bitches who got Adam's bottle (right after he drank from it) and the drummer's drum sticks at the end of the show. Somehow, I regretted not taking the standing area but then again, me a midget against a bunch of trees - there is no match. And last night, unlike MGMT we watched the entire show before leaving, afterall, it was a Saturday night. Only when we were queuing to collect Taryn's bag from the "locker" did we realise we screamed so much our throats were hurting pretty bad. I mean when we talked parts of our words would go off tune and honestly, we thought right there, "Oh shit, we're losing our voices" but hey, it was all worth it. Got home at around 12 and showered and went to bed at 1:30am. Went to bed happy and very satisfied.

I am a very, very, happy individual even though I have quite a lot of work waiting for me in a corner. I think I'm going to just keep all that concert spirit kinda mood in my head now. Gosh, last night was beyond amazing.
