OPM Legends’ Concert Brings Back the Old Time

I witnessed the success of the OPM Legends – the Repeat Concert in PICC last Thursday, March 5. There’s no doubt, the Singing Stars of the 70’s and 80’s, Rico Puno, Nonoy Zuniga, Rey Valera, Claire de la Fuente, Eva Eugenio and Joey Albert, still do make waves in the current Filipino Music Scene, being total entertainers on stage here and abroad.

The show didn’t start on time as we’ve expected. The Plenary hall is quite huge that Hubby was speculating it wouldn’t be filled up to its full capacity. But people kept coming in until about 30 minutes after the actual show time. Only few seats were left unoccupied. Yeah! It was a real blast! I sincerely love the performances of these singing Kings and Queens of my generation especially Nonoy Z. His renditions of the old ballads made me sigh and wish for the moment to freeze. I can’t help getting senti! Wahh!!Thanks to the undying green antics of Rico J! They pulled me back when my mind was about to drift away. His jokes brought the audience roaring. I’m sure, MTRCB would give it an R-18 rating. But Rico J won’t be Rico J without his wicked humor.

All in all, the concert was sensational! With an additional treats for seeing many celebrities who graced the show including the former First Lady Imelda Marcos. I enjoyed the concert. I loved it! But Hubby is KJ! I guess, he only liked Rico J.'s jokes.

Here are some photos taken:

Daughter's Surprise

I love listening to the songs and music of my time – the late 70’s and early 80’s. Ha ha ha! Some of you are not born yet that time. Or maybe, your parents haven’t even met each other yet! But I’m sure, you have listened to those melodies which I think are well-liked until now by the young generation. The singers/Performers are still very much around. I’m not so much a fan of them but I sure am a lover of their songs. Why? Because their music are like time machine which transports me back to the space and time of my younger days. (Lol!) My daughter knew this and how she made me happy as she surprised me when she came home early today.

She handed me two tickets to the concert “The Legends of OPM: The Repeat in PICC. This concert features Rico Puno, Nonoy Zuniga, Rey Valera, Joey Albert, Claire dela Fuente and Eva Eugenio. She hit it right in the center like bulls eye! I love it! She still remembers my wishes. I’m just so excited that I’m gonna see Nonoy Z. in person again after their Family Birth Control Band’s stints in Delirium Disco many, many, many, many years ago. My friends and I used to follow them wherever they perform, whether in Siete Pecados of Philippine Plaza or Delirium in Greenbelt, Makati. Ahh, how time flies so swiftly… but I'd definitely be in a time machine come Thursday, March 5 and will be young again. It would be a date with Hubby. Yahoooo! (Thank you, Bunso!)
