Today we had a celebrity speaker come to our school as part of this programme. Said celebrity speaker is a well-known Filipino musician of whom I know quite a few songs of but whether I am a huge fan or not, I'd say not really. I like his songs but I don't really follow him as much as Parokya ni Edgar, for example. Now, attendance to these workshops/talks in this programme are done through online enlistment (during which I fell soundly asleep and almost missed: read about it by clicking this orange link). Needless to say, I wanted to attend that workshop with the celebrity speaker because a) it's a music-related workshop and DAMN, I WANT, and b) dude, there are a few times in your life that you'll get to meet a celebrity for free. Anyways, the past few days, I decided that I'll attend the workshop even though I'm not officially enlisted in that class. However, since I've been waiting for seats to become available in that class, I thought that I may not even get in the class due to unavailability of extra seats-- therefore, I might go to school extra early for nothing. So, last night, I just decided that I'll just attend the classes that I officially enlisted for. BUT, this morning, as I was sitting at home, waiting to go out for my enlisted class-- I saw my uni's official Instagram post a story about that particular workshop and guess what? THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF FUCKING EMPTY SEATS! Anyways, all complaints aside, here's the point I'm trying to get across, and hopefully answered: why do we want to see people just because they're famous? I'm not saying that this is always the case but allow me to let you ponder it for a while...
Have you ever wanted to attend an event before, one that doesn't require a considerable amount of effort nor money, just because a famous person was going to be there? If you have then, you know what I mean. If you don't then, you're lying or seriously need to get out more.
