John Robert Powers is making me realize how much I should love what I'm doing and not do anything out of   other people's decision. This is my life, and I should live it the way I want to. Syempre, alongside with living your life are people you look up to. Every now and then, people will ask me to whom I look up to or who's my idol and I end up giving them these faces: 

because aside from saying my parents, since it's given that you have to look up to your parents, I don't really have anyone to look up to or do I? I just do not know anything. I'm having a quarter life crisis! No, I'm not gonna reach 100, kaya ngayon pa lang nagkakaroon na ako ng quarter life crisis. I'm trying to live healthy these past few days so that I'll live longer, I don't see that much result thought. My *diet* is a different story, going back. But that never-ending-search-for-people-I-look-up-to  has been resolved and ended this year. 2012, you're doing it right! Naks, naman! Syempre also, you've read my previous blogs about band dudes and dudette/s?? That's how I resolved my quarter life crisis. 

It all started with a poster. This poster: 

I know The Maine by name but I seldom listen to them, and when I say seldom I mean more like never. The main reason why I'm going to their concert in the first place is to see John O'Callaghan's armpit. I spent 2,500 just for that! Chos! I got influenced din by my best friend, Ana, who is such an avid fan. When I told her that The Maine is coming to Manila, she freaked out through text and started telling me about her iPad that's overflowing with The Maine. Anyway, after I told Ana that they're going to Manila we planned na on going to the concert together. Peroooo, Ana is such a lazy ass and got her ticket a week or two before the concert and they're out of ticket  for the Gold area. I got mine like a month before. Also, I consulted my college friend, Andrea about the concert and what ticket is she buying. I was trying to persuade her to get the Gold ticket so that I'll have a companion but she's the kind of person that can't be persuaded. Like Ana, she bought a bronze ticket. Technically I wasn't alone when I went to the concert because I waited for Andrea at Trinoma and while in line I made a friend! I forgot her name, Sorry. 

I said a lot of things, let's just jump back to me and my quarter life crisis, lol. A month or two before the concert, I started downloading and listening to The Maine's songs. The first album that I downloaded was the Acoustic EP version of Can't Stop Won't Stop and I loved it! So I downloaded more songs and decided  to put it all on my phone. I went wild with my phone, bow. 

Now I'm gonna jump to the concert itself. I was super excited about the concert! As is super duper and I can't explain myself to you guys right now. As The Maine made music on stage, the crowd totally went wild and that was the reason why SM North's Skydome was demolished. Okayy? Me and my exaggeration with my stories. Pero I can't really explain din the wildness of the crowd. You get it now? Am I right?

After the concert, I died. I still was jumping with excitement and pure happiness as my mom and dad fetched me and brought me to Katip to have dinner at Mushroom Burger.

Words can't express how I felt during the concert and up to now when I get flashbacks. After five paragraphs, you still can't express? Sofia, you're totally having a quarter life crisis. 

The Maine changed my life, in a good way of course! They also answered the question that's running through my mind for sixteen  years. My question was answered two days before I turned seventeen, by the way.

So right now, when people ask me who my idol is my answer is, with no second thoughts, The Maine. But people are so persistent and wants a precise answer, so I ended up choosing one out of my five babies. If they're asking for something precise I tell them that I look up to The Maine's front man, John O' Callaghan. And when they ask me why? I would totally say "because" pero John Robert Powers doesn't settle with because they want everything straight to the point, or something like that so I come up with the answer "because.... when you look at his twitter account he has quotes there that he made by himself and I'm also taking up literature so I'm very appreciative of that kind of art." Oha? Whatcha say? I'm very inconsistent when I answer but what I say revolves around that statement. That's the main reason why I posted 6 photos of John above with writings on it to show how poetic he is.

Basically, JRP helped me with these kinds of things as well. JRP is not just about the money, poise, and etiquette they also help you find yourself when you feel like you're lost.

To end this entry, here is a manifesto that I posted in my previous entries but it fits this blog as much as it fitted the other entries of mine.

....getting lost will help you find yourself.
