waah... Yesterday, April 7 2006 was the Big Night for the LBS finalists coz it was their last and final battle but also, it was a thrilling and a very important day for us SAMSTERS and of course the Concepcion family and also the families of the other contestants.  this day was jammed packed with unforgetable memories..memories that are really worth keeping! so i would surely try my best to share to you my "part" of adventure yesterday... hmm...where do we start??at end?? nah! quite difficult. let's start where most typical stories begin....
Once upon a time, there lives a 17-yo lass named Rayka, who is rushing her way to the ABS-CBN studios one hot afternoon. In the MRT station, she saw a very familiar face. a face that she had seen many times already but she just cant figure out who he was.. she just looked into him one more time and finally remembered who he was... LOUIE..a LBS finalist but was unfortunate enough to continue his dream with LBS. i guess he was also going to ABS to watch the show..
...  iSTaRBuCks.....

>>>Entering the Gates of a unique experience!lol<<<
then we're back to chatting,waiting,chatting,waiting..naloka ako dun at inantok ako bigla! weh! since it was already 4pm, we decided to line up at the audience entrance! gosh! first time ah! hirap palang pumila dun! sanay kasi kaming dumidiretso na sa loob!haha..kaloka!wag ka nang maarte rayka!!
ayun! mukha kaming mga pulubing nkasalampak dun sa semento! cguro umabot din kami ng 45mins dun! buti sana kung malamig eh noh? eh ang init to the max!haay... tiis lng guys! after the very long wait, nagpapasok na rin ang guard ng audience! inihanda namin ang blue passes namin..5 persons/pass kaya nagsama sama na ang lima! as we entered the gate, the guard took our pass and counted for 5 persons. at that point we were unaware of the mishap that we were about to face!! when we joined the other people in the line we noticed that they were still holding their passes so we started looking for ours but its not in the hands of anyone among us! then the guy belonging to the last group who entered told a tall fair-skinned lady
"Bigay mo na sa kanila yan!(reffering to the pass!) kina SAM!"
But the lady didn't respond even when we asked her if the guard gave them our pass.. She just simply folded the pair of passes in her hands and held it with a tight grip! Which i think is something "FISHY"... so we asked the guard if he still has it but neglected us and continued walking his way to the studio entrance! Thinking that we could still get inside without that blue piece of paper, we continued walking when the lady at the Back asked us who are we cheering for... jan replied with a confident tone, "we're friends of SAM" and then the lady said, "kaya pala good looking din kayo!" aba! What does this mean! Are you trying to buy us??
Ayun malapit na kami sa next stop! Sa isang inspection naman! we noticed that the group behind us was now gone! Were they hiding? We really didn’t know where our pass went but still, hoping to get inside we stayed in our line! Then we saw diko,gabby Sam and kuya david! Kuya david gave each of us SAM pins and we carefully placed it on our shirts! We also told kuya david that we don’t have our passes with us! When the guard asked for it, we explained what happened. But they wont believe us! Good thing kuya david was there to help us up! He was partly mad about it though, coz the guards wont let us in! so in the end they let us pass. We thought everything was over but when we reached the main entrance to studio 8, there was another inspection. We told our tale but they didn’t believe. They told us to go back where we last entered. When kuya david saw us outside the fence again, we told him what happened!
Nagalit si kuya david! He kept on arguing with the guards.. so was tito Audie! Tita gene was shocked when we still haven’t entered the venue so nakipag argue na rin xa! There was this something cool with this argument… SOSYAL kasi!lol.. in English kasing makipag away sina tito,tita at kuya david! It even reached to the point where kuya david announced that SAM would NOT perform if we were not able to get inside! O dba ang taray! Tinawag pa si sam sa loob at sinabi un sa kanya! I dont want sam to get involve though.. he’s going to face a big competition and I don’t want to stress him! Bhala na kami ang mastress at maloka dun sa labas, wag lang xa! Grabe! Then tito called up the guard we pointed who took the pass when we first entered but the guard explained that he gave it back to us! This scared me..first time kong Makita si tito na ganito kagalit! He said to the Guard “wag ka nang magsalita! Nalito ka. It was your fault! Okay?” he said it again but I forgot the following words! But he just wont let the guard explain anymore! Ang tindi ni tito! Nilang lahat! May poise parin kahit nakikipag away! Few minutes later tita gene came and told us to get in now.. I guess she talked to somebody inside about this little commotion! And finally we got in! we were even guided to our seats and it seemed that we were the last people of the audience to sit! Then we heard a voice asking, “Ok naba ang guests ni sam?” kakaloka noh? Nakakahiya pala!lol.. haay! Pero mas naloka ako dun sa di magpperform si sam unless we get in!! grabe! Ang tindi! So yan ang usapin naming sa upuan that time! 5 pm na ata nun eh! Gutom kami and all pero kinalimutan lng naming!haay…
****To be CONTINUED TOM..... i need rest!!
It’s SHOW time!!
Pagpasok namin, kala namin magsisimula na any minute! Naku! Ang tgal pa pala! Lalo tuloy kaming nagutom!!huhu..nagbbriefing lng ang staff sa audience when to clap and how high should we raise the banners..wala kaming prob dun since ala kaming banners!lol.. after some time, we all went silent for a prayer. Isa isa ring nagpray ang mga finalists..ang cute ni kyle at makisig! Di kasi nila alm ang sasabihin nila!lol.. at xmpre, si SAM, ang ganda ng prayer.. after the prayer, pumalakpak n nmn ang mga tao! Kaloka! Ganito tlga lagi sa taping ng LBS.. pati prayer pinapalakpakan!lol.. akala naming ulit magsstart na..naku! naghintay n nmn kami ng ilang minutes bago mag start!!asar!hmmp!!
Maya2 may narinig na kaming.. “okay, rolling” and with a wave of a hand, nagsimula nang kumanta si Sarah! Followed by the finalists… SAM was wearing blue! Tugmang tugma sa aming balloons!!:D when it was sam’s turn, xmpre kami screaming na.. ganda pa ng pagka kanta niya ng “Maging Sino Ka Man”… if you saw the episode today, lam nio na mga ginawa ni sam! Kya ung mga behind the scens nlng kwento ko!
<<MAging Sino ka man!:D

<<Can't stand still
Eto ang taong nagpapa init ng ulo ng lahat ng tao sa studio! Naligaw ata sa studio ng LBS un eh! Sigaw ng sigaw! Papansin tlga xa! Binababoy pa ang names ng mga contestants! Kawawa sina Kyle, Charice at Gian! Un ang mga nababoy niyang names! Naku, sana pinalabas nlng ng staff ung bading na un! Kaloka! Buti nga di nya pa dala ung cronies niya! Di ata nkapasok eh! Kasi pag nandun pa sila, naku! Full force sila sa pagcheer, sira ang araw ng lahat ng tao!
Nagulat ako kay kuya david! Di niya pala pinapalagpas ang mga kalokohang ganyan! Pinapatulan! Nagger pla siya! Aba..inutusan pa kaming sumigaw ng “SAM ang cute mo sa Bench!!” musta naman kuya david! Lol.. pero kami, obedient as ever, sigaw naman!!:D gulat tlga ako kay kuya david! Di ko akalaing pinapatulan niya pala yan!!lol..si diko asar narin! Ginawang tirador ang pumutok na balloon at ginamit nab ala ang peanut! Hoping na mashoot niya yuns sa bunganga nung “creature’ na yun!!lol
Ako naman, everytime na magpperfrom na ang mga finalists esp sa big div. I check out the judges’ looks… at grabe, kinabahan ako nung mapansin kong napaka dull ng reactions ng judges sa performances ni sam.. everytime he persoms, wala man lng something nice sa faces ng mga judges…nakatitig lang! samantalang sa iba eh todo ang facial expressions nila! Parang tuwang tuwa sila sa mga performance! Kya kinabahan ako! As in!! haay…
