it was starting to get annoying at 360.. there were the endless blah-blahs of topics not related to libera. sometimes the 4 administrators would talk about something only the 4 of them could understand - but it was good to know later that they finally had a "batcave" in case they wanted to talk about something in private and not make us members look stupid. there was this endless talks about somebody "fainting" when he gets to meet josh madine. my golly, if a 13-yr old sofia faints in front of josh, that would be forgivable. but if a 20-yr old behaves that way, oh well....this went on and on and on - the fainting topic. and the endless tantrums esp from those in cebu - well, i can understand the feelings of these kids who'd really want to fly to manila at all costs just to see libera.
my friendship with mitch young started when i browsed some vids on youtube (which i seldom do, except when someone tells me there's something interesting to see). besides, it was already boring to see similar vids of their M & G and concerts last year. so i saw this vid with a young man annotating a video taken during their autog signing last year at the PICC. it clearly showed tom cully beside liam connery. i think mitch asked a question of which liam replied but caught a surprised tom. this is it!!! it's the only video (the one and only video) showing tom upclose and hearing mumbling something. i checked on some of his videos later. i wrote him and requested if i could post his video on my page. i thanked him for a wonderful video showing tom and liam. he wrote back and we became friends on FB.
mitch is into video-making. and shooting libera is not his only interest. he has this vid about his travels - from the airport, airborne up to the time he reaches his destination. i don't know this boy personally but we share the same interest in taking pictures. pictures are not only interesting showing people's faces and bodies. i can take a picture of a chair and yet would come out beautifully. mitch showed us fans his video of the boy's dressing room at ABS-CBN with their messy things - pants and polos on the floor, shoes on top of the dresser, headsets, ipods, etc... no underpants were seen, no libera boy was shown, not even a shadow. i was amused. it was cute. mitch held on to one robe. was it made of cotton or linen? nobody will know not until mitch held on to it. nothing got lost. he didn't touch anything except one white robe. he wasn't reprimanded by any libera member. winter was there, i supposed. crawley, barbara, steven were there.
o kids, we're not talking about the shroud of turin here. these 23 kids are human beings like us. they're not special. if i will have the chance to do this too, i will. someone asked me why took a photo of josh madine's shoes? why not? i've had pics of josh's face in all angles, so why not take pic of his shoes? dirty shoes. now tell me, will you categorize this also as "intrusion to privacy? c'mon!!!!!
