Come With Me to Circus Music Festival 7

 Hi kids, and to the silent readers who could potentially be your dad if he'd just make a move. (I'm not kidding.)

Today, mom will share her CM7 experience. The last time I was here was 2024 pa so it's been a while. 

On the day of the festival, your mom was coming straight from a shift, so I barely got any sleep at all. We all met up at the Airbnb we rented and decided to head out around 4 PM so I could at least get some rest before everything started. Welp, no rest coz I was busy fitting my clothes and doing my makeup. 

When we got into the venue, there were already so many people. We grabbed some food before heading in and made it just in time for Maki’s set. It was my first time seeing him live, and he sounded really good.

Genuinely, I wish food stalls offered healthier options. I sometimes like to eat greens, or even a Caesar wrap would be nice. Less oil.

I did feel a bit bad for him though the crowd was kinda dry, ughhh. But we cheered him on anyway!

Honestly, I think most of the attendees were in their 30s, because when Spongecola’s set started, the crowd went wild! I kid you not! so much that I started feeling anxious. My heart was pounding, and I even thought about going home… I might have passed out, seriously (THAT EXTREME!). I was scared, but after their set, I calmed down and was finally able to enjoy the show.

I could be looking like this while internally fighting my anxiety lol it's such a skill. 

This was my second time seeing Cup of Joe. The first time I watched them, they were still making a name for themselves, but wow, they’ve grown so much since then! It was a bit of a bummer though, because there were some audio issues during their set. They managed to fix it, but they had to sing some songs twice, which kinda sucked.

Tired aunties/uncs lol

dancing while capturing new memories!

wWearingthese boots took 2-3 business days to recover lol my feet wwerehurting!! My running shoes would never give me this dillemma! 

Still, hearing “Multo” live was such a dream just the drop in the intro alone takes you to another dimension. I also loved their energy and stage presence… lowkey a fan.

December Avenue came on and got everyone feeling all the sad, longing vibes… but not me! Lol, no one came to mind. I’d rather feel nothing than be sad over someone I can’t have.

They did have fireworks though, so pasabogggg!

she feelin better or wtvr

But the highlight of the night for me was Rico Blanco. I think it was my first time hearing him live, and he sounded UHHMAZINGGG!! Everyone loved his set.

Hearing him sing “Balisong,” “Your Universe,” and “You’ll Be Safe Here” felt like a warm hug… so comforting!!!

To be serenaded with the line "Never in my life have I been more sure" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh

And can I just say how young he looked for his age?? He is 52 yrs old!!!

I may not be brokenhearted, but this girl is a yearner through and through lol

The rest of the night was alright. It was around midnight when we decided to go home, we were all exhausted af.

This might probably be my last music festival for a while… I’m not really sure. The anxiety I felt was intense! Not sure if I became claustrophobic or what. I think it was also because I hadn’t slept before the event, and that usually triggers it for me.

I made it out alive though! So that's still something to celebrate hahaha

Bye kids!
