Charice Dream Come True Concert, Siam Discovery, Bangkok, Thailand

Yesterday's "Dream Come True" concert of Charice Pempengco at Siam Discovery, Bangkok, Thailand had drawn a very huge and mixed and excited crowds.

People from different walks of life were patiently waitng for her stage appearence which was about 45-minute behind schedule. In spite of the delay, people's excitement seeing her performances were not lost. In fact, more and more people were arriving while Charice was still behind the stage.

Initially our standing positions was very okay and it's very close to the stage. But, few minutes before the the concert has started with the Thai singer, Zani, the winner of AF6, securities asked people to move backward a little bit causing all the people to stand up making our positions very inconvenient.

We were standing there since 2 P.M. not leaving the spots to avoid filling it with somebody else. Unfortunately, since the show didn't start as scheduled at 5:00 P.M., my wife and our youngest child could no longer wait further and they moved out.

At about 5:45 P.M. Zani, the Thai singer came up to the stage, showcasing proudly her very good singing skills and abilities which are also well praised by Thais. After her three songs, she was interviewed briefly by the host while waiting for Charice appearance.

Fortunately, our two elder children was able to get inside the restricted area through the help of a very kind Filipino lady and understanding few Thais standing in front of us.

So, they were able to watch the show very clearly from the start to the end.

Actually all of them could have been inside the restricted area should our youngest child had agreed to go with them without her Mommy. But as usual, she won't stay anywhere without her Mommy.

I was also about to leave my spot, but I couldn't leave our children alone worrying that something might happen when unexpected thing will occur like what had happened in India couple of months ago.

We (I and my wife) said to each other never to get into this kind of event when it's done on the same kind of venue. We better pay it than watching it for free without a proper sitting space. I just hope that next time, in October this year's concert with Charice, it would be held somewhere which is more convenient for everyone. Hope the cost would be affordable, especially for big families, like ours.

After six-straight hours of standing, from 2 P.M. to passed 8:00 P.M., my feet were aching. It's my first experience to this kind of show without sitting all the way to the end of it. We had once watched a paid Barney show at Siam Paragon before, and we were okay with the set ups. It's very convenient for everyone. All our children were enjoying it very much without any hassle.

Hope in the next concert with Charice, about two months from now, at least the same venue, like the one used with Barney show, would be used by then.

Surely, all Charice fans and followers would be willing to support it.

For us, it's the right time to start saving for our tickets for the whole family for the next Charice's concert. Hope everything is okay: Charice, her family, her team, all her fans and followers would be healthy, and Thailand would be peaceful by then.

No matter what, over-all, it was a great and mixed experience for my beloved family.

Now at home, the show seems to be still fresh to our children's memory. They keep on singing Charice's Pyramid song and humming the part of it which they can't remember.
