Finally I understood the feeling of two-timing.
The dilemma of choosing which one. The comparing. The rationalizing. The computing - yup, even that too.
Last Tuesday, I had to run an errand at the Cubao area. I passed by Araneta Coliseum and saw a poster of Incubus - Live in Manila, March 9. I said to myself "Perfect!" I've always wanted to catch Brandon Boyd on stage and drag two of my audiophile friends along. So I was thinking, okay I'll reserve a tickets when I go online. My two friends I decided to pay for - no matter how much it would cost. Since I owe one a Christmas gift, and the other I will have to give a birthday gift. So this is perfect.
When I got into my car, I received a text message from one of those said audiophile friends informing me that Maroon 5 will be performing in Manila on March 5. And I suddenly remembered that when I passed by Araneta Coliseum, Maroon 5 songs were blaring on the speakers. I suspected that they will be playing on that same stadium.
Great. Now what?! I can't miss out watching Maroon 5.
So I started pitting Adam Levine against Brandon Boyd. And I couldn't choose. So I asked Mr. Birthday Boy which he would like to watch. He says any would do - "But surely Maroon 5 will be fun because their songs are danceable. However, I also like Incubus. So whatever you choose, you're not gonna lose."
WE-hell, that's what you think!
So, I consulted the other friend. She informs me that the patron seats of Maroon 5 costs like 10,000 - ouch! I had to go online and check out Incubus prices. Almost 4,000 for a patron seat - reasonable. And yet .... Adam Levine!!! This LOve! Sunday Morning! Won't Go Home Without You! Makes Me Wonder! She Will Be Looooooved!!!
Aaargh.
What to do, what to do.
I was staring at the online reservations of Ticketnet (two pop-ups on the screen). I closed my eyes and let the mouse show me the way.
Dilemma solved.
Brandon, I'll see you on March 9.

It Really Makes Me Wonder
The last few weeks have been difficult for me because my brain hit a speed bump. I've been deciding on whether I should leave my current employment and I finally decided just last night to resign. Actually, last Friday I have informed my supervisor and I couldn't care less of her reaction or non-reaction whatsover. Anyway, nobody on earth can stop me (well ... Orlando Bloom perhaps.)
I spent the weekend lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, wallowing in grief and frustration. I guess having "IT ENDS TONIGHT" by All American Rejects on repeat was not gonna help my current psychological situation. So I decided to turn on the radio and listen for new songs to "acquire" for my I-Pod.
When I turned the radio on, the first voice I heard was that of Adam Levine's. And I remembered that I wanted this song for ages and had some difficulty "acquiring" it. My mood lifted a bit hearing "Makes Me Wonder." The song has this catchy disco-ish vibe that just makes some of my muscles move and groove.
When the song was over, I turned the radio off and turned the TV on, only to catch the video of the same song of Maroon 5.
Like I said, there's a disco vibe going and the video just proved it. At the start of the song, the group boards a Mile High-ish plane. Adam was wearing a tux for starters. There's disco lights and shiny floors but no dancing. Only sexy stewardesses walking around. There's the band performing the song, and Adam being frisked by airport friskers, who happen to be sexy women wearing really really short uniforms (yeah, in MTV world absolutely anything can happen.) In a nutshell, it's an ultra simple sexy MTv. Nothing too loud or that interesting (well, I guess the guys would be interested with the stewardesses in the video).
I logged on to the net and went to YouTube and watched the video again because I swear there's a big change in Adam Levine's look which I can't put my finger on. I don't know if it's the haircut, the fact he's wearing a tux, or something else. Whatever it is, he's still hot.
I also checked the lyrics, and it just made me smirk. Maroon 5's really good in sending out whatever it is they wanted to say with lyrics so straighforwardly cool. I mean the guy doesn't really mince his words. My favorite lines (and perhaps the best lines of the song) goes:
"I still don't have the reason,
and you don't have the time.
And it really makes me wonder
if I ever gave a f**k about you ..."
.... sense the anger? Maybe it's just me and my own anger but it's one line I would love to sing at work before I leave.
Ah, whatever.
