Mandy Moore on March 12 concert at Eastwood City Philippines

How a great experience being present on her concert on March 12 which is my birthdate too. It will be a totally different celebration for me celebrating my birthday in a concert. But unfortunately, I’m quite too sure I will not be able to attend. Ask why? Huhuhuhu… That’s permanently unfortunate, really. Hehehe.. Anyway, to give you more details about Mandy Moore’s concert and her.

Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, on April 10, 1984, (See I am 1 year older to her) mandy has emerged as one of the hottest young stars of today. Since her first CD release with So Real in 1999, Mandy’s career has flourished as she has released even more hit records, starred in server movies (Princess Diaries 1, A Walk to Remember, Saved, Try 17, Chasing Liberty, Americam Dreamz, How to Deal, License to Wed and, coming soon, Because I Said So).

She has released her own clothing line called MBLEM and has reached enormous success with it as her clothes have been sold in stores all across America. Her new (fifth) CD, called Wild Hope, was released late last year. Mandy is never too busy to mind the less fortunate. She donated her time to various charities.

We are glad; our country is visiting by popular music artist all over the world. Don’t miss these chances.
