I was all day at school yesterday with friends, writing our English paper. We could have spent 5 hours without finishing one paragraph, you know, so we decided to loose up a bit, head out and eat our late lunch in Stonestown. I felt like I really had a long day even it was only 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon. I was sick with colds, and back/neck pain, in short I was really not up to par yesterday! BUT! Not until my friends were driving me home when I suddenly felt the urge to open my email through my phone. The first thought I had when I saw JON FOREMAN UPDATE was maybe it was just the ordinary EP releases news, tour dates, and some encouraging words from Jon, but boy... OH BOY!  He's coming to San Francisco! I saw the place DOLORES PARK CAFE (I KNEW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS!) and then I checked the date FEB 20, (that had me thinking) hmmm TODAY IS *checking my phone, confirming it was indeed FEBRUARY 20! haha. @ 7:00pm FREE show!

I can't explain what my total reaction was, my friends said they got scared when I just screamed all of a sudden at the back of the car. Haha!!!! And so while on the way home, I plotted... plotted.... First, I only have three hours left to prepare for my English paper, study my German, get my stuff ready for work, and take a shower. First time I did an essay in only 1/2 hrs! straight to trash? hahaha 30 minutes left.. No more studying for German class, I hurriedly printed my paper, took a shower and Zoooooooommmmmmmmm! pheew!

Not over yet, So I took the L-Taraval/Embarcader train to CHURCH station, then took the J-Church, got off Church and 18th, and just walked a block to the Cafe... I was late! I arrived at 7:15pm the show was almost over.  But then I really had a perfect view of Jon outside the cafe. I took some videos, pics.. not really nice pictures but they will surely be kept in safety. hehe.. I'm usually a shy person, and I don't like introducing myself to someone new, but last night I did introduced myself to a guy behind me and asked a favor if he could take a photo of me with Jonathan. He said "yes". He said he only have his cellphone so I offered to take a picture of him in return. SWEET!

Jon was really nice, soft-spoken in person. Everything was so mellow last night, but my heart was pounding like a crazy stampede! haha... the picture says it..
Me: Hi, Jon! I'm Eunice
Jon: Hi, I'm Jon.
and the rest of the "Isa Pa" and "Balut - I would never eat that again" little chat followed..

"It's really nice to meet you in person" .. I didn't know what he replied.. hahaha!
Then after the picture taking (just one ShOT), I thanked him and left.

HERE I AM WITH JONATHAN FOREMAN! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE, REALLY! It seemed a long day and night for me, but looking at this picture makes me smile and think that some things happen unexpectedly just in the blink of an eye, and I might as well savor every moment of it.  It's a blessing, a gift, a present.. I don't know. I'm just in awe and I FEEL SOOO DAMN LUCKY!


P.S. Feb 20.. just six days after Valentine's Day, last year I went to Switchfoot concert on Valentine's Day.. hmm?! hehehe!
