yesterday after my shift me, Brian, and several of our friends went to the Steven Curtis Chapman’s FREE concert @ COP (Cathedral Of Praise) in UN Ave … my brother and I were both Chapmanic fan since we’re lil (with diapers?, naaah…hahaha) … since I was in HS … so we’ve grown-up listening to his songs and blessed by testimonies … last year Malou and I went to his 1st concert here in Manila and it was one of the kewlest days of my life … who wouldn’t!? the girl of your dreams sitting beside you and listening to the music na kinalakihan mo, weeeeh!!!

twas really kewl to see 2 of his boys, Caleb Stevenson (17) and Will Franklin (13) plus their 2nd adopted Chinese daughter, Stevey Joy (4) … it was a Chapman’s powerhouse band and saw his wife Mary Beth for the first time … but I have to squint my eyes to get a closer look as we’re seated at the far side of the orchestra, hahaha … I didn’t get the name of their bassist but he was formerly working for an orphanage in China wherein he takes care of the kids in a shelter.

L-R: Caleb (drums), Will (lead), “the dude” bassist, and Steven Curtis Chapman
