FINALLY!!!

After 20 years of waiting, I finally met my idol... Mr. Pure Energy, Gary Valenciano. He's a real triple threat: acting, singing, and dancing. I got involved in his first concert here in Boston. I was so excite. My adrenalin never stopped rushing. It was like taking caffeine tablets every hour. I got to meet his wife Angeli - wonderful person... very accommodating to Gary's fans (I mean me).

Gary and I chatted and it was simply heaven for me. =) Wishing to see them again... even if it takes another 20 years.
