I have been an Avril Lavigne fan since, what... a little after she debuted with "Complicated". Before Avril Lavigne, I was a lost soul looking for the kind of music that suited my taste. Before Avril, I just went with whatever was popular with others, because I really didn't give a damn about music. I thought I liked pop, like Britney Spears. I thought I liked Christina Aguilera. I thought I favored Celine Dion, but only because my parents liked her. I liked M2M, only because of Pokemon ("Don't Say You Love Me").

And then came Avril Lavigne. Actually the very first song I heard from her was "Sk8r Boi". I saw her music video the first time. And immediately I fell in love with it. I related to her. How? That time, I was a tomboy who didn't like girly stuff. No make-up, no dresses, or skirts... And there I was watching Avril Lavigne being all punky and boyish and yet a girl at the same time. And that was when I discovered the kind of music I liked.

I followed every album she made even until after "The Best Damn Thing", where many old Avril fans stopped fanning over her because of her drastic change in style. From the tomboyish, punky, boy-bashing music, Avril took a turn to poppy, fun, and upbeat music. And yet, I still liked her music. Probably it's because like her, I had morphed from tomboy to a more feminine person, but still retaining a bit of what was in the past. Avril had done the same. Though her music had gone a bit more girly, it still had the same message her music always had: "Be yourself.". As long as that message stays, I will still love Avril

Just a few days ago, I finally got to watch her live in Araneta Coliseum. She was on her Black Star Tour. Before I heard her in the Colisuem, my expectations weren't that high. I have watched a few of her live shows on YouTube, and she didn't impress me at all. Though I didn't like her live performances, I still loved Avril. And then I heard her sing in the coliseum. My view took a 180 degree turn.

SHE WAS EFFING AMAZING.

I was blown away. She was good, no, AWESOME live. She had improved greatly than when I last watched her in YouTube. I started to like her even more, to the point where I am now dying to get some Abbey Dawn merchandise. Lol. If she ever comes back to perform again, I will definitely watch her again, and next time I'll save money to get the better seat.

And I WON'T forget my camera again!

I'll be leaving for school in a few. Actually, I still don't have class today, at least "formally". Today is all exam feedbacks, so I guess I'll be finding out how I did in exams. I know med was terrible (glad to know I wasn't the only one who messed it up). Hopefully, neuro and pedia turn out the way I expect them to.

Meh... Actually, I'm feeling too lazy to go to school right now. T^T
