Now that my exams are finally over, I can now continue working on my sort-of delayed blog post of what went down last Saturday, October 11th. Even if it was the weekend before our second quarter exams, our parents allowed my friends Ryen, Rhoda, Kyla and I to toddle off to the nearest Robinsons cinema to catch the One Direction: Where We Are concert film (which was only shown during that weekend, ah bless their souls). We were up, about and on the road by ten in the morning to make it to our twelve o'clock screening of the movie, and fortunately it was all worth it!
Where We Are featured seventy five minutes of the boys' concert footage in the San Siro at Milan and a fifteen-minute interview of the five with Ben Winston, discussing anything from pre-concert rituals to their underwear changing schedules. I wouldn't be lying if I said that I: a) flailed my arms, b) screamed, c) died a little inside every ten seconds. I was clearly the noisiest in the cinema, much to the dismay of our seatmates (a snooty mom and her awfully composed teenage companions), since I sang along to everything on their tracklist from beginning to end. Seeing that film honestly made my life, and hyped me up so much for my own One Direction concert on the 21st of March next year.
Here are more random photos from our time together! (Filter: A8, +2 Contrast / VSCOcam)
But if you ask me what the highlight of this particular day was, I'd have to say that it's a dead tie between watching the Where We Are movie and spending some down time with these two, whom you probably recognize from my previous post. Although it was just a pretty normal conversation, centering on the same old topics aka other people's business, I still love it for the fact that it wasn't in any way scripted or restrained. (Well, except for the location where it was held, which was a patch of green grass outside Robinsons Magnolia - oops.) We read self-help books and did bag hauls and ranted our hearts out, which I realized are productive things to do alone and cathartic activities to do with others.
Plus, we took some pretty weird outfit shots. And yes, I am aware that mine were taken in a completely different location, how inconsistent of me. I hope you have an equally beautiful weekend ahead! To quote my Art teacher: "Stay brilliant!"
