I never imagined I will have a chance to experience the Wanderland Music Festival... but weeks ago, Phoebe Rutaquio posted a status on Facebook stating that she will give away tickets to random people that will like her page. I joined instantly. The first reason why I joined this contest was because of my sister. She's working so hard at her internship that's why I think she needs a break. A break wherein she will see The Temper Trap perform live. The contest mechanics: to tweet, regram and share. I think I posted at least a thousand tweet entries, 40+ regrams and 10+ share... a day. 

Then, on May 16... Hello and Co PH tweeted: "8 on the clock. And the WINNER is... @IzaArtillero CONGRATULATIONS! Your hardwork has paid off and YOU AND A FRIEND ARE GOING TO WANDERLAND!" I was definitely on cloud nine.

The moment I knew I was going to Wanderland, I got very excited to search for outfits perfect for a music festival. The weather here in the Philippines is a bit bipolar... you can wake up to a very sunny morning to a very stormy afternoon. So, I played safe and wore a dress. My first choice was a black version of this mesh skater dress from Tomato but I think white is more suitable for the music festival like Wanderland.

I usually wear something black during concerts since people won't really notice your outfit since the venue is going to be dark. I wore heels for the first time in a concert because the concert was just one big massive pit, no sections and the like. I experienced Katy Perry's concert back in 2009 and in most of the part of the concert I just saw the head of the person in front of me. It was so lame, I didn't want that to happen again, so I challenged myself and wore these shoes.

This was the most intense and the longest concert I've been to ever! I went to the venue, SMX Convention Center around 1pm already. I missed the OPM bands + Avastera, but it's all good. First thing I did was to line up at the merch table and buy some awesome merch that I will soon blog about :)

               Music is my best friend. I think almost half of my bucketlist is about me seeing a certain band/artist that I love perform live. When I was a little girl, I've never imagined going to concerts and the like. I didn't know how it really works, like how to get tickets and stuff because I was so young. Then, 2009 came. I experienced my first ever concert and it was free (won tickets from a contest online) -- It was David Cook/David Archuleta's concert. I think that started it all. So far, I've been to 17 concerts (Bazooka Rocks being the most recent). I love being a fangirl. Always have, always will.
