Hi Candy Girls!

Yesterday, Angel and I got to attend the press con for The Greatest Hits Tour featuring Brit boybands Blue and a1 as well as Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees. Seeing them in the flesh gave me goosebumps, reminding me of how much I loved (yes, LOVED!) them back then.

Highlights of the press con included a1′s Ben (looking mighty fine!) asking the first question for Blue, a1′s Mark sharing he enjoyed meeting Anne Curtis, Blue’s Lee spilling how much fun they had putting shaving cream on a1′s tour car as a prank, Blue’s Simon talking about their genuine love for music, and Jeff revealing that “Invisible Man” (my absolute fave 98 Degrees song!) first became a hit in our homeland. As an added treat for the press (who I’m sure were all closet fans as well), the boys sang a few lines from their favorite tracks. a1 took the lead by singing “Like A Rose,” Blue followed with “Too Close,” and Jeff ending the show with “The Hardest Thing.” You can watch the adorbs video here.

After seeing these guys in the flesh, I decided to dig up my old photos with a1 during their first visit to Manila. I’m happy to report that these guys are still as charming, down-to-earth, and genuinely nice. I miss Paul though (the naughty one making a kissy face!).

If you want to reminisce and sing along to the biggest hits of these boybands (believe me, there are too many songs to mention!), contact TicketNet box office at 911-5555 or Wilbros Live at 374-2222 ASAP. The concert will be staged tonight at the SMART Araneta Colliseum!
