When we watched Lea’s concert last Friday, we had this very annoying experience with a monster sitting right behind my sister’s seat. This monster happened to be an old lady.
Encounter #1:
The girl beside her was talking to her friend in a sort of loud voice. The old lady said angrily in a louder voice, ” Excuse me! I want to listen to the music here!” So the girls just kept quiet all through out the concert.
Encounter #2:
When Lea was singing the song of Menudo,“If you’re not here (by my side)”, my sister wanted to raise her hands up and sing with Lea as Lea requested some audience participation to make the mood livelier and more fun. So my sister decided to raise her hands up and sway with the music when the monster complained again. The monster said to my sister,”Excuse me, don’t get too excited, I cannot see!” So my sister just put down her hands in disappointment and replied with an, “OK.”
Encounter #3:
A couple of late comers came and stood by the monster’s row. The monster was so upset that they (she with her son or daughter, I think) had to stand up to let the late comers pass and go to their seats. She reprimanded the late comers in a disgusted voice and said,” My God, next time you should have come earlier when you know that your seats are somewhere in the middle!”
After Lea sang her last song, everyone gave her a standing ovation. Then, the monster with her companions immediately moved out from their seats and headed back to the door.
What a relief! All of us, together with the girls who sat beside her, were so happy that they left their seats already. The girls said,“Yehey! Salamat naman at umalis na sya noh! Nakakainis! Hindi tuloy kami makatawa ng maayos!” Then my sister said, “Yes wala na siya! Kaasar talaga!”
That lady was a real monster. She was so annoying! What a killjoy! She should have bought the seat nearest the stage and watched there all by herself. As much as we wanted to respect an old lady like her, we couldn’t because with that kind of attitude, she doesn’t deserve to be treated nicely. Hmp!
Well, fast karma. Because after Lea sang her supposedly last song, the audience (as always) shouted “More!More!” so Lea went back and sang another song. Then I saw the monster watching from farthest seat of the orchestra area. Hahaha! She should have stood there the whole time.
