I survived the black parade.
Date: Sunday, July 27, 2008 | Time: 4:01 AM
The feeling was indescribable.
I felt a wholeness yet emptiness.
Describing it would make my mind explode.
When Gerard came out on that stretcher, the passed 2 years of my life came flashing before me life some character in a movie.
I couldn't help but cry, quite a few times. My mum and Joey stared at me blankly like I was some weirdo kid crying over a silly thing.
I've blogged about this DVD so much, people who've read my posts must think I'm an obsessed physco kid who talks gibberish about things unimportant to this world.
But it's important to me. That's all I care.
It's worth much more than it's selling price so don't complain.
2 concerts in one, baby, worth much much more than it's selling price.

Just to sum things up, it was amazing, something I'd watch more than a million times and something I'd show my grandkids someday.

I survived the black parade. I wish it took longer before it died, but... hopefully, a new chapter will open and the story will continue :D

For now...
I shall wait and see.
btw: spoiler: he didn't use the boa!= NJ show at maxwell's you'll see!

The Black Parade is OFFICIALLY Dead
Date: Thursday, July 24, 2008 | Time: 3:52 AM
I wanna cry and roll on the floor and ball my eyes out.
It's like an ending to half of my life!
My eyes are teary, red and swollen.
I can't believe it. It's actually official.
It's like turning a page of my life that I haven't even finished reading.
The Black Parade was the first CD of MCR I actually bought. It was a month before they released it. I fell madly in love with the patient and in some ways, related to him.
The band and the metaphor made me love everything about MCR and the guys behind it. They made me love myself more and they made me realize that, even if I'm so screwed up, there are 5 guys in a band just as screwed up as I was.
I listened to their music when I wanted to... end what I used to think was 'a tragedy not worth living' a few times (I'm not being emo. I'm stating the truth. DOn't judge me.)
They made me be against homophobics and people who didn't appreciate themselves enough to continue living, they made me believe in myself more than I ever did. They made me want to be happy again, they made me someone who was against labels and labeling and most of all, they made me be myself... whatever the screwed up consequences were.
I balled my eyes out on the floor when I found out they were finishing the black parade. My mom told me that ending the black parade meant ending a period and Gerard and everyone elses lives when they were sad and needed an escape. Now, they're all happily married, or, most of them are, a few of them are in love and engaged. They're carrier is skyhigh and they're with people they love. Why do they need a reason to be sad?
It then hit me. Closing TBP meant closing a point in their lives where they, at some point, felt like the patient as well.
I know that, in a year or two, maybe in a few months, they'll be opening a new chapter in their lives as well as in mine. I can wait that long.
Until then, I have their music, a memory and I'll carry on.

The Black Parade is Dead Is OFFICIALLY OUT TODAY!!!!
Date: | Time: 3:01 AM
Happiness. My heart went boom when I read Ms. Kristine's reply on my facebook page.
I just finished text messaging my mum (yes, I do have an english accent when I call her that's why it's spelled with a U not an O) about everything that came with it: 2 free tickets to their LAST concert as TPB in Mexico
(this is the video on the DVD, I believe, but it's going to be released in a movie house in Robinsons [Event Info Host: Warner Music Philippines, Robinson's Movieworld, NU 107, MYX and No Fear Type: Music/Arts - Concert Time and Place Date: Friday, August 1, 2008 Time: 7:30pm - 9:30pm Location: Robinsons Movieworld Street: Robinsons Galleria, Ortigas Center City/Town: Pasig, Philippines ])
and a free t-shirt! Okay, okay, so, I do have two MCR shirts already but c'mon!
Mom just told me she's gonna get it. I just received the text... YAY!! I hope she does! I'll have to pay her back but still!!!
Yay!
When I found out that they were officially ending the reign of TBP I cried. It was the first ever CD I bought of theirs. Gerard will still be known to me as 'The patient' and the parade still lives on in my heart. The music makes me sing and laugh and cry.
For me, they'll carry on.

Happy International MCR Day!
Date: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | Time: 6:43 AM
Truth be told, I completely forgot that it was today, not for the reason that it isn't that important (to some people) but because I thought it was in August. Anyway, Mon reminded me at around... 7 this morning so I greeted everyone.
Int'l MCR day was made by the fans to celebrate MCR. I have no clue if it is official but I do know that it is celebrated.
Mon said they had pasta at her place and Trish celebrated (in spirit) with me and Joey. I made ala mode for everyone at home and Joey and I shared a bowl of mango icecream (which he ate half off!)
I played MCR the whole day and wanted to cry when I realized that their concert is finished and that they're coming back in 4 years (as they said)
Mum seemed quite enthusiastic about it as well :D
I enjoyed today, I enjoy anything related to MCR actually, like I'm celebrating for myself. Heck, I plan Gee's birthday before I plan my own!
I guess the reason these 'holidays' for MCR are so important to me is because... They're my heroes. Yes, I may sound like each and every MCR fan out there but it's true.
Those guys, without them, I'd be like everyone else... unhappy with themselves. Because of them, i love myself. I accept each and every part of me and even if I'm screwed up and feel alone, I remember that there are 5 guys out there who are as screwed up (or was as screwed up) as me.
If you haven't seem these guys before or heard a song, you're missing out on life itself.
suggestions:
1. The ghost of you
2. Welcome to the black parade
3. Disenchanted
4. I'm not okay
5. Cancer
6. Vampires will never hurt you
7. Demolition lovers
8. The desert song
9. Kill all your friends
10. Heaven help us

Keep the faith!
Gaby
