It wasn’t even in the original itinerary, but apparently this visit was meant to be. It proved to be a memorable finish to our trip to Spain barely four weeks ago.
Excerpted from Our Lady of Montserrat website information: According to Catholic tradition, the statue of the Black Virgin of Montserrat was carved by St. Luke around 50 AD and brought to Spain. It was later hidden from the Moors in a cave (Santa Cova, the Holy Grotto), where it was rediscovered in 880 AD.
Looking around the SM Moa Arena before the NKOTBSB concert began, one could easily notice three things. One, it was packed to the rafters. Two, there were practically no teenagers around, which was actually quite logical, considering that those who claim to be diehard fans would at least have to have been born in 1993—back when BSB, the “younger” of the two groups, first formed. And three, the crowd was surprisingly made up not just of ladies in their 20s and 30s (yes, even 40s!), but of men who were man enough to show their love for the two legendary boy bands that little girls swooned over and little boys secretly idolized in the ’80s and ’90s.

Acclaimed “cyber magician” Cyril Takayama thought that magic was “absolutely real” when he was around six. The 38-year-old magic trickster recalls growing up in Los Angeles, where he was tutored by a real magician from Magic Castle, which counts many of the world’s greatest illusionists as members. The experience changed his life, making him pursue magic more seriously during his teen years. He eventually landed small gigs in Japan, which led to a tour, TV specials, and his popularity online.
