The concert food title is just an excuse to blog about this concert. Teehee. I can't help it. I love Maroon V.
Music has been one of my passions but never had the talent for making one. I love listening to them a lot. It's my all time happy pill and I'm sure I'm not alone. I share this with the rest of my friends and family as well.
This September we had this "concert bonding and a girls' night out" thing with the three generations of women in our family. We went all the way from Cebu to Manila to watch Maroon V Tour at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Me, my aunt, cousin, niece and her best friend, together with my Manila based cousin and my sister all cramped up in a Ford Explorer heading to our concert destination. The hour and a half traffic didn't really bother us since we were early and the car music was, well you know, playing the appropriate tune as we were warming up our vocal chords oblivious to how off key we were. *smiley here*
The SM-MOA had this big sale going on when we got there so we didn't bother to look for restaurants inside to avoid of long queues and lengthy order time. We never really felt hungry anyway but we know we need some food for the fear one of us might pass out. So we settled for some "concert food" inside the MOA Arena.
Behold the Hotdog and a Bottled Water.

The cons of out-of-town concerts: You need to shell out extra bucks for transportation fare whether by sea, land or air just to get to your destination. Not to mention hotel lodging, food expenses and taxi fares.
Cebu doesn't have a good venue for a large concert like this. Though we can still host a small to medium sized events, we still need a really big one to fill in the requirements of the big names in the entertainment industry. We hope there will be one soon.
Anyway, Maroon V have been here several times already and this was my chance to finally get a glimpse of one of my all time favorite band. I don't splurge a lot on bags and shoes but this was no excuse. I saved up for this moment.
