MRS. DEAN

I saw this at my friend Illara’s journal and thought I should do something similar since I tend to love a lot of things in one single year, so here’s a list of things that won my heart on 2009. I shall warn you it’s going to be a LONG list hehe!.

1.- DEAD BY SUNRISE
Obviously, the best about 2009 was Chester’s band Dead By Sunrise. Like I’ve said before, whatever Chester Bennington is in, I’m going to support it and I simply fell for this new band, the music is AMAZING. And I was extremely happy that I finally heard something totally CHESTER. His lyrics, his music, his voice, this was a true work of Chester Bennington, so it’s very special for me!.

2.- RYAN SHUCK
I was never really into Orgy and I never paid that much attention to Julien-K and at first, I thought I wouldn’t like Dead By Sunrise’s other members, ’cause I only cared about Chester, I seriously thought it would be hard for me to like other guys that weren’t Linkin Park. BUT it only took me one interview to love Ryan, he’s so funny and I simply liked him. Plus, I love the interaction in interviews with him and Chester, you can easily see they’re true friends just having fun and that’s amazing.

3.- MIKE SHINODA’S PICTURE
What can I say? I’m loving his style and this picture is simply PERFECT and I fell for it, I can spend minutes staring at it.

4.- TALINDA BENNINGTON
I know she’s not a real celeb. And I don’t normally follow Chester Bennington’s personal life, ’cause after all it should be PERSONAL. But I got a chance to know this lady a little bit more than only from pictures and she’s amazing. I never thought she’d be as nice as she actually is, and I really really liked her.

5.- HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU (Alex & Gigi)
This movie rocks, I loved it. I totally fell for Alex and Gigi’s relationship since the beginning. How Alex was always true to her even though he seemed to be cruel. I watched it again last night, and I could watch it over and over again. Simply PERFECT!. And it was always good to learn that when a guy wants to see a girl, he’ll make it possible.

6.- TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON
I never thought I would like this movie as much as I did. There was one time in my life that I had a love triangle that I usually compare with these three fictional characters. My personal brand of heroin that I could never resist, and the guy that offered me everything a girl would want and was healthier for me but I always rejected. And this movie reminded me of that time. Specially the line that goes something like “Don’t make me choose, it’s always been him” or something like that.

7.- TAYLOR LAUTNER
If you wonder why I put Taylor and not my RPattz on the list, it’s because I fell for Robert in 2005, not in 2009 heh!. Anyway, I never liked Taylor, never ever… until I saw New Moon. Then I read he was 17 and now I feel like a sinner for lusting after a CHILD haha. I’m still Team Edward though hehe.

8.- ENRIQUE BUNBURY’S CONCERT
It was AMAZING the best concert I’ve ever been in. Even though I had a heartbreaking moment when it was canceled in my city, I got to travel and still see him live and it was totally worth it. He’s an amazing performer and I got to sing my favorite songs along with the man itself. An experience I’ll NEVER forget.

9.- ENRIQUE BUNBURY’S AUTOGRAPH
I’ve never had an autograph in my entire life that I trully treasured. The only three pretty cool autographs I got are Alex Lora’s (from a band called El Tri), Ty Dennis’ (from Riders on The Storm formely The Doors) and this one, but this is the coolest one ’cause I adore Enrique Bunbury and is one of my top favorite artists from all time.

10.- AMERICA VS. ATLANTE MATCH
My favorite soccer team has been America since I was a little kid. I had never seen a match live, I did for the first time this year and it was AMAZING being there in the crowd, shouting things to my team. Specially ’cause I have a crush on one of their players called Memo Ochoa haha!.

11.- CHESTER’S TWEET
Even though he got my twitter name wrong, I really appreciated that he thanked me. It was trully, one of the best days of my life haha I was so incredibly happy I couldn’t believe he knew a ChesterDEAN existed somewhere and it was really really sweet. He made me smile like prolly no one has ever done it.

12.- CHESTERDEAN.NET
Even though the site isn’t that great and sometimes it lacks of interesting content, making it was GREAT and I’ve got to know amazing people and it’s always nice to have a place to go and rant about my favorite things and read about the things my friends likes. So, making this site is part of the things I loved this year.

13.- BIGGER
I don’t have the actual album yet (This is Us) of the Backstreet Boys but I have it on my computer. And I’m simple addicted to the song Bigger. The lyrics reminds me how I could have loved a jekr and still stood by his side because I was in love… like he could dedicate this song to me and fit our relationship haha. Plus, Brian looks freaking adorable in the video and AJ is wearing a Jim Morrison tee. Even though I’d have loved if the video had something to do with the lyrics, that’d had been awesome.

14.- CHESTER’S PLAID SHIRTS
I’m loving that Chester’s wearing plaid shirts again. It brings back the nostalgia when plaid shirts were his favorites around 2001 and I was a brand new fan. It reminds me of the good old times when I was young and found the band that I’d love forever.

15.- FIRE
And finally… the song Fire by Dead By Sunrise. I’ve already made a post about this song and how special it is to me. Back in 2005-ish that I was going through the worst time of my life, Chester Bennington gave me “Let Down” and now, that time changed me, he now gave me “Fire”. And it kind of expresses a lot of things I feel and think. So this year, THIS is MY song and I’m gonna always be grateful with Chester Bennington for always making a special song that would help me cope with my personal demons.

Hellville de Tour 2009

Filed Under Concerts, FANatic, Musicians, Photography, Pictures | 4 Comments

In the end, I got the chance to see Enrique Bunbury live, I still can’t believe it, it was amazing and probably the best concert I’ve ever been in. I found out he was coming to my city three months ago and I was super excited, a month later I finally bought my ticket and waited unpatiently for the concert, two months of literally counting the days, the countdown was only two days left when I found out they canceled the concert, I was devastated and really sad (I even cried).

This show was a once in a lifetime thing you know? he has never come to my city before and I never thought he would, so I couldn’t miss my chance, he was going to give a concert in Cancun (4 hours away from my city) and I decided I should go see him there, or I’d miss my only one chance. My dad talked to my brother and he got me the tickets (FOR FREE ) so everything looked perfect. My mom went with me, I was numb the whole time, I didn’t know how to feel, I didn’t want to get my hopes high like the first time ’cause if he canceled this one too I’d be really crushed, so I finally registered the idea when I was already at the concert, when I saw the stage and was waiting for the concert to start. I was literally shocked just thinking “Omg, I’m going to see him… I CAN’T BELIEVE IT”.

I got there at 7 pm and the concert was going to start at 9 pm, it was a never ending wait, I felt the minutes like complete hours and I was going insane. I had a good place, like three or four rows from the stage. I waited and waited until the lights went off… my heart skipped a beat, the band walked out and started to play one of my favorite songs “El Club De Los Imposibles” my heart was racing when all of a sudden everyone screamed even louder and there he was, he walked out from the left corner of the stage and took the mic in his hands and started to sing. Everything was so surreal I still can’t believe it, he was there, in front of me. He was all dressed in black like a texas cowboy, black hat and sunglasses, he looked gorgeous and I still can’t believed that man in front of me was ENRIQUE BUNBURY one of my favorite singers.

At first, since I was literally alone (my mom went with me, but I left her in the back ’cause I didn’t want her to be pushed around by insane fans) I was a bit shy at first, I did sang my lungs out but I couldn’t even move, but as the night went on I started to jump, dance and sing even louder. I took picture after picture and I think that caught his attention because he posed to my pictures more than once.

He is really looking at the camera hehe

He changed his clothes four times, the one in the first picture, then a black shirt with pink stars and a feather snake like in the second picture, then a black jacket like a Sgt. Pepper kind of jacket but all in black, then a pink shirt with black stars and finally just a black vest, same pants the whole night hehe. My favorite outfit was the jacket and the vest, he looks amazing in vests *lol*.

I only recorded videos of my favorite songs and I’ve already uploaded two of them on youtube so here they are:

El Club De Los Imposibles

Sacame De Aquí

In the second video, an annoying voice can be heard singing…. that’s me hahaha sorry, I just had to shout like crazy. Something I loved, was that he always pointed us with his mic to sing for him and if we didn’t do it right he’d make a face and move his hands in a “Nah-uh” way and he’d sing a bit so we could follow him and then leave us alone. He’s AMAZING !!.

There are very special songs for me, like the one I have on the “Deanie-TV” section, that one is called “Y Al Final” (In the end in Spanish *lol*) and when he sang it, my little silly heart was so happy it wanted to cry haha. It was an unforgettable concert, I’m still amazed by it. Back in 2004, I used to hate him so much it hurt *lol* because I thought he was trying to act and look like Jim Morrison, but my ex-boyfriend told me to listen to one of his songs from his old band called “La Chispa Adecuada” and he sang that song, he sang the song that made me like him, and another friend told me to listen to “Infinito” and he sang it too, and that was the song that made me LOVE him, so it was a very special moment to me I just loved EVERYTHING.

My brother has a lot of friends, and one of them was involved in the concert (that’s how he got me the free tickets in the first place) so after the concert, he got me an autographed CD… isn’t it just BEAUTIFUL???

I took a bunch of pictures, if my camera took better quality pictures I bet they’d look a bit professional hahaha but they don’t because of the blur hehe but I really like my pictures if you want to check them out go here.

I’m going crazy

Enrique_Bunbury__concierto_by_an-2

Today was a really stressful day full of tears and sadness. Enrique Bunbury’s concert was canceled, I felt awful because I’ve been waiting for it for two whole months, I was literally having a countdown on my MSN, I was so excited and happy, and today they announced it was cancelled. I felt like crap, cried my eyes out until a little light of hope shone for me. I might be able to go to Cancun for the concert he’s giving there, I just hope he doesn’t cancel it too, otherwise my one and only chance to ever see him live would be vanished. It was like a one in a million chance he’d come to my city, I had my tickets, everything was ready and it was over in a matter of seconds. I just really hope he doesn’t cancel the one in Cancun or I’ll be crushed. It’s been almost ten years since the last time I got this excited for a concert, I’ve never had the chance before to see a band I really REALLY like, like I like Enrique Bunbury… so… it was really sad to see in red font the word “Canceled” above the date of the concert *sigh*

El Tri Live

Last night I finally had the chance to see El Tri live. I’ve liked this band my whole life but the last time they came here I didn’t have someone to go with and when my brother went (twice) before, I was too little to go to a rock n’ roll concert. And you know what? It was worth the wait, it was an amazing concert and Alex Lora fucking rocks. I shouted and sang all the songs I knew (not that many xD) but El Tri is one of those bands I’ve known my entire life and are like a living legend. They’ve been playing since ‘68 and they’re celebrating their 40 anniversary. I just LOVED it!.

And my brother got to be on the Press Conference and he got me an autograph by Alex Lora and it says “To Chester” haha it’s amazing. I’ll take a picture of it and post it here ASAP.
