Boyfriends and Shirley Fuentes in Geneva
Nope I’m not a fan and you wouldn’t catch me watching them if I’m in the Philippines but when I heard that they will be in Geneva to have a concert I immediately reserved for two tickets: for my friend and I.
I went there with no expectations, i don’t have any plans anyways for that night so might as well watch it. Ticket is not that much so I was very much willing to watch the concert.
It was Friday night and right after work I was supposed to meet my friends and have dinner together before the concert. Unfortunately they got mixed up with some errands so I’ve eaten a nice grille de beoufe with cafe de paris alone. They were already waiting for me at Ramada hotel so immediately after eating I went straight there.
It was around 8 already and the place wasn’t full yet. I was silently praying and hoping that more people will come. It started late, very unSwiss but it was okay. The place was buzzing with hi and hello from fellow Filipinas. Most of the crowd are Filipinas and they all seem to know each other. It was just a nice feeling to be surrounded with my maingay na mga kababayan =)
Concert started finally and after the 1st number of Shirley Fuentes I was so glad I actually came. To sum up the concert, I must say it was actually more of a stand up comedy show and the singers actually don’t have to sing anymore coz everybody was singing. It was so much fun, I didn’t know that those old familiar songs that I was humming before are actually from the boyfriends, songs like salawahan at bakit labis kitang mahal…
And at one point when the boyfriends sang some dance songs from their old albums our kababayans actually started dancing. It was like in a disco, there’s a band and people are dancing… I was so amazed, everybody was really in the mood to have fun!
Congratulations to the organizers and thank you for a wonderful night that you’ve given the Filipino community here in Geneva.
