Last May 26, my friends and I decided to attend day 6 of the Kaogma Festival here in Camarines Sur, Bicol. Some different bands and artists caught our attention --- the reason why we convinced ourselves to attend.
It was a Friday and we just finished taking an exam. We considered it a reward for ourselves after taking the exam.
The reason why I am sharing this here with all of you is to give an idea that even though med students are always busy, we still find time to enjoy ourselves.
Anyway, enough of the introduction. Hahahaha!
The first performer was Patrick Quiroz, he sang at least 2-3 songs. I didn't get a photo of him since we just got inside of the venue and he wasn't actually part of the artist that we were expecting to see that time.
Next was the band, Sunkissed Lola. They were so good and sang their originals and also sang a cover song. They got famous or known because of the song "Pasilyo", they sang at the end of their performance. Though at the beginning they performed some of their original songs the crowd doesn't know the lyrics that's why it was quite boring.
The crowd just got energetic when they started singing "Pasilyo" since it is familiar to the audience.
The next performer was Arthur Nery. He was already invited here a couple of times because the Bicolanos just love him.
He sure has a nice voice and gosh it gave me goosebumps. The way I hear him sing online was the same as what I heard when he performed. Indeed, he was such a performer.
Some of the fans even got to take a photo with him. And one of them gave him a bouquet. I think it was made of dried flowers or made of paper flowers.
And lastly, the most awaited artist that night was Moira Dela Torre. She was the reason why we came. Hahahaha. I was in awe when I watched her perform. She performed differently from the other performances that I watched online. Feels like she was giving a total concern for all of us.
The hours of standing were all worth it because of their performances. We will surely attend Kaogma next year.
We took photos after the performances as a remembrance and also for Instagram stories. Hahahaha!

I looked fresh here so might as well share this photo.
I bought this from the Tanduay booth for 100 pesos. As a heavy drinker, this wasn't as alcoholic as I thought.
I also bought a drink for myself before we left. Funny to think that I was already dehydrated from singing at that time and what I bought was an alcoholic drink.
I just have a question for you, reader. Are you the type of concertgoer to squeeze themselves into the crowd just to be in front of the stage or are you like me who is already contented to just look artists at the LED?
Personally, I am already satisfied with just being able to hear the performers since I don't also be in a large crowd. Plus instinctively, it is safer to leave if Incase there would be a stampede.
