Most of my friends were already there by the time the huge gate opened at 4-ish(tho I think I was still snoozing that time, LOL!) but as soon as I got up 8pm, my veins were all excited on how the field would actually look like - imagining 3 massive stages!0_0
On a traffic at a near stand-still on a Saturday night, I met with Inan at the gate around past 11 to get our VIP passes.
Please excuse me on those photos above. LOL! Not sure if I was nervously excited to finally get in or got photog-skills-rusty shit or both (LOL!) But there on VIP greeted us with her wonderful smile is Bigfish's Account Executive Unika Zapanta.
