What's with the 50 Cent concert bullshit!!!

Yes it's Friday! Bonz and I were already excited to watch 50 Cent only to find out that his concert was moved to the end of November. Ok I may not be a fan of 50 Cent but hip-hop concerts in Metro Manila are rare and would like to have the chance to watch one whether it's underground or mainstream.

I have to admit I'm very disappointed and I'm impatient to wait one month till the concert. Whoever's organizing this I have to say your organization and marketing is poor! Better work on that!
