Coldplay in my Universe

I've finally listen to Coldplay today from my Spotify. Ever since the past weeks when I was not able to get a ticket for the upcoming concert here in the Philippines next year April 4, 2017, Im sort of feeling unhappy every time I hear their song.And not for lack of trying but I was just late or unlucky.  I tried to book on the first day for the globe employees exclusive but 5 mins it's already sold out I have friends wanting me to reserve for them the gold and platinum tickets but I can't even get GA ticket ( the idea was that we just buy a GA ticket then get upgraded by then because we know people from security since the company is the presentor) ... I waited for another week to text  for the regular sale of the tickets and as usual I did not get the  ticket by reservation . Then on the regular sale I tried to line up in SM ticket outlet but still it's sold out. Long story short it was crazy! 

Days before the official announcement I already have an inkling because I'm following them in Twitter. Curiously, I posted that I added to my bucket list is to go to a Coldplay concert. I was already imagining my self shedding tears as I listen to Chris Martin sing Yellow or Fix you... I can relate to Maine Mendoza crying while watching the concert ( she even went to LA last October to see the guys) well yes I have that fan mentality in me...not really groupie level but I appreciate their music. I don't even know all the band members except for Chris Martin because he's kinda mainstream having married Gwyneth Paltrow and dated Jennifer Lawrence. But Coldplay concerts are quite experiential production wise, with all the beautiful lights that changes with the music, ( pop culture aficionado here). And fans loved him because in spite of his individual fame he would always introduce himself as Chris Martin of Coldplay.. so anyway I called the bestfriend that I didn't get the ticket and she said it's fine. Like I wanna cry and I was hoping a little sympathy but she was like no big deal. Then I remember how much she wanted to watch Chainsmokers concert before and maybe I've  not given her the same support. lol! So maybe that was how she felt as well... I even entertained the thought of actually going to Singapore because they say it's less expensive there ( there was one netizen who computed the cost including airfare )  or Japan. There was this guy I was talking to who's based in Thailand  and I ask him if he wanted to watch the concert and when he said not interested in going because he said there's going to be lots of teenagers watching. So he just lost boyfriend material point.haha!  I called people from the mall selling ticket and a ray of hope came to me when I finally called the head of security asking him if he could maybe let us in by that time and he said as long as we  are the ones handling security details of the concert by then it's no problem.. it's next year anyway...plus there's a lot of other countries in Asia with schedules that month...My bestfriend suggested lately  the one  in Taipei..

Lately, we've been going out of town for our sales blitzes, like we would go to police and army camps, Guimaras islands and I always see beautiful nature scenery. And when I get a glimpse it always made me realize how minute our existence in the vast universe and maybe the creator of that awe inspiring scene. We are somehow insignificant to the universe, I told myself - your worries and problems more so...I'm so ashamed...
