"it's not about the money, money, money..."

it's not over yet but i can say this September has been the busiest so far this year. almost everyday i have something to attend to or go to which eats up all of my energy and therefore, when i come home, i would slump myself on the sofa too exhausted to do anything other than flick on the remote!  on top of that, (horror of horrors!) i haven't been able to go to my favorite shop which opened the first week this month!!!!!!!!!!

we shall remedy that soon enough :D but first, as promised, here are pics i took that beautiful day when the part-therapist, part-singer Jessie J sang for the Rock :D
the Rock is a great backdrop for a concert because sound actually bounces off of it making for great acoustics!
there were stilt-walkers and street artists (which either delighted the little ones or scared them, i can't tell)
right next to the concession stands, life goes on in the runway (Gibraltar is on the top 10 of the world's most dangerous airports, being small and right in the middle of the highway!)
there were other booths next to the stadium that were such a hit with the tag-alongs like Man Vs Food, etc.
front acts were amazing local bands!  and then came Ali Campbell of the famous UB40.... ohhh the groovin' we did to "Red, Red Wine"... and little did i know this would cause major aches and pains in muscles i never knew i have!
and then, she came....  she was awesome!  a great entertainer with a heart for her fans :)  we love her songs.. especially the ones with empowering messages :)
 and here are two exhausted but very happy fans :)
once more, with feelings...

  2. My friend was there and apparently got some homophobic vibe or something - I dunno - these crazy lesbians! But she loved it none the less - I bet you had an amazing time and it looks like a wonderful place for a concert!
