After more than a month’s delay, Katy Perry is finally in town!!! I know I’ve already written about her Rocks for Relief concert, but after seeing Katy in the flesh, I couldn’t resist blogging about her and her concert cohorts again.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m still sad that Boys Like Girls won’t be playing anymore, but I’m happy for Macy and Mia that the boys of Mae are here instead!

Look who’s wearing a big grin on her face? Haha! That’s MaCe with Jacob of Mae. See what I did with her name? Teehee!

Even Journey’s Neal Schon and Arnel Pineda (all together now: “Don’t stop believin’!!!”) as well as Jed Madela (whose house got flooded during Typhoon Ondoy) signed on to perform for free just so that all the proceeds could go to the Philippine National Red Cross.

The first thing I noticed when Katy came in was how tall she was (ooh! Love ‘em heels!) and the non-existent fruit accessories I’ve come to love in her quirky get-ups.

She looked a little tired (jet lag, maybe?), but she was still very warm and accommodating. She laughed off comments that she looked like (500) Days of Summer’s Zooey Deschanel, explained how she’s outgrown wearing cherries on her hair (but expect a lot of pink tomorrow night), and loved the fact that she finally got to hold a huge-ass check for the Red Cross amounting to P1,000,000!!!

If you’d like to see Katy, Mae, and other special guests perform tomorrow night, it’s not too late to buy your tickets at Ticketworld for P3500, P2200, P1200, and P400. Remember, they’re doing this for a good cause (namely the homeless victims of Ondoy and Pepeng) so let’s help them make the event a success!

Crooning to Katy’s songs…
