I’ve been following American Idol since Season 3, but I never thought that I would ever get to watch it live. The Season 10 finalists came to the Philippines for the first time for their tour, and I was able to watch them for free! 
Here’s my proof:
I was randomly checking Plurk when Ade said that he was giving away a ticket to the American Idol concert that night to the first person who would reply. Of course I said that I wanted to go. I was the first to reply, but I really didn’t expect anything. I mean, Plurk is where people balahura each other. No one takes anyone seriously there. XD
But, a few minutes later he sent me instructions on how to pick up the ticket. It was real! I couldn’t believe my luck. I kept asking really? really? to make sure. I didn’t have time anymore to go home and get a camera, so I went straight to Araneta Coliseum. I was even more pleased when I found out that my seat was in the lower box, and on the side, near the stage! I am near-sighted, so it was really great to get a good look at the finalists from where I sat.

We went there straight from Maribago Beach Resort and we were halfway late, so we had to race against time. We were a bit ruffled, plus our cameras were confiscated at the entrance, but Aiza’s voice soothed us when we came in the door. I am not exaggerating.

The Maribago Bluewater Beach Resort wasn’t what I expected–it exceeded my expectations! I didn’t expect us to be treated like that, and I didn’t expect the event to be as well-planned as that either. I thought it was just another beach resort. My bad.
First, when I got to our meeting place at SM Cebu, Agnes greeted me with that big smile on her face and hang an ID on my neck. I said, “Oh, there’s an ID?”
That was just the beginning of surprises. The resort’s PR person, Ruben Licera himself, was there to greet us. The resort sent vans to pick us up, and we were more than happy to hop in. When we got there, we were greeted by Guest Service Officers who met us with white shell necklaces and this tasty lemon beverage:
