   Tee-hee she says as she tries to kill us off! Wow!!

   You’ll have to tell us all about it when you rest up.

   Got up at 3 a.m. to watch the USTream. It was fabulous hearing David sing those 5 songs for all of you. Loved the audience excitement and oh my the Confetti. It looked like David got a little emotional when saying Thank You and Goodbye.

   I’m hearing two more Mall appearances tommorrow?????????

   Thank You for all the close up videos!! Loving all the Bench ads Photoshoot etc. Oh Yes and the Hair fix!!
   David was on fire!! Great performances which mostly likely be the last for two years. Don’t think he wanted to stop.

   Had hoped for One more US concert in the midwest but time is getting short and David will be lucky to get the recordings done and much valued visit with his family and friends.

   I was supposed to sit in the moshpit but when I was studying all the angles and the realization that IT WAS the moshpit (source of all featured pix & TV clips), I had to convince Bench peeps to allow me to transfer. Lorma was the same cos she had to Ustream.

   With 2 mins before the start of the show when we were allowed to transfer. Thank goodness cos we were able to do what we set out to do. Capture his pure amazingness 🙂

   LOL, and I escaped the moshpit exposure!

    Hi JR!

    There are not enough words or thank you’s for whatever it took to achieve incredible coverage of David on behalf of the fanbase. Your courage and hard work BTS is appreciated everytime I click the play button on one of your vids. I extend thank you’s amd appreciation to your “team” as well -- Lorms and Naree. The photoshoot vids in particular made me insanely happy. Thanks Again!

    P.S -- I have to ask you based on something David said. Why do things get done so quickly in the Phillipines? It is truly remarkable.

    My heart is full!!! I will miss him. He is so good, so kind and so grateful. God bless him more.

    Thank you for all the hard work and for sharing, “ground zero-Pinoy fans”. Thank you Philippines for making his stint there so fun-filled and memorable for him and for all of us.

    BTW, was that you JR in the background of ATM video, saying “he needs water”?
    Such caring fans!

    I toyed with the idea of writing a rather soporific diatribe (so I decided against it) about how his visit to the Philippines has really been a boon to the country. From the music/movie industry, to advertising, to tourism and therefore, the economy in general, the benefits are ginormous and they keep on giving.

    For one, although there are real concerns in certain areas, his visit should mitigate those severe travel advisories against the Philippines.

    I wish he had time to visit more interesting places like Palawan, Boracay, Cebu, Bohol, Batanes, Camiguin, Dakak, Surigao, Sagada, etc. Maybe when he returns after the mission.

    Cootidoc, Write more.

    David visited 4 other provinces only his only day of after 36 days of work. He was spotted in Cebu and rumor has it he visited the Temple there.

    It was a great trip for multiple reasons. Elaborate on your thoughts.

    Thanks JR and Vangie is a Godsend in more ways than one. ha! ha!

    AP sends off David & Kari

21. 

    jackryan4da on February 19, 2012 at 1:09 pm

    Oh and people have been asking who the old guy was talking to David -- I think he is a businessman offering something to David when he gets back.

    He is not a hotel manager.

22. 

    heidijoy on February 19, 2012 at 1:29 pm

    Nice Sendoff JR. Nice to know David is alreday getting offers for when he gets back. What a packed 5 weeks of opportunities and excitement in the Phillipines. David and Kari definitely felt the love as did we back home. Thanks for including us!!
