Jlo in Dubai: The Experience

November 25, 2012 by Sheila | A B & Me 10 Comments

It’s been 3 days since the event and I’m still on a high! I know I wrote about Jlo coming to Dubai but I wasn’t sure if I could go. A few days before the concert, I received complimentary tickets! Regular Standing but I’m not complaining. YAY!! 
 
 
 
I didn’t have time to do a “dress rehearsal”, you know…that moment that you take out all your clothes and try them on to see which will look good. (Cm’on don’t tell me, I’m the only one doing that?) So I just wore jeans and my 5 year old, asymmetric black top (coz black is your best friend..it makes you look skinny. haha!)
 
And the best part, I was able to cross one more thing off my  list! I wore false lashes. HAH! I couldn’t have done it without any help. I just can’t put it on by myself. (Loser much?)
 
 
 
We arrived at the venue around 7 pm. Parked the car and walked towards the gates. There was a veeerryy long line. Everyone was so excited. Or maybe it was just me. HAHA!
 
Once inside, we picked a spot and waited. 
 
Still waiting…
 
We got bored waiting so we roamed around for a bit. Then went back to our spot (this time its a bit packed) and waited some more. The show started at exactly 920pm. 
 
 
Here’s the setlist (copied from wikipedia)
 

Setlist

  1. “Never Gonna Give Up” (Video Introduction)
  2. “Get Right“
  3. “Love Don’t Cost a Thing“
  4. “I’m Into You“
  5. “Waiting for Tonight“
  6. “Louboutins” (Space Cowboy Remix)(Video Interlude)
  7. “Goin’ In“
  8. “I’m Real (Murder Remix)“
  9. “All I Have“
  10. “Feelin’ So Good“
  11. “Ain’t It Funny (Murder Remix)“
  12. “Jenny from the Block“
  13. “Brave” / “I’m Glad” / “Secretly” (Video Interlude)
  14. “If You Had My Love” (Acoustic)
  15. “Qué Hiciste“
  16. “Until It Beats No More“
  17. “Baby I Love U!” (Video Interlude)
  18. “Do It Well“
  19. “Whatever You Wanna Do”
  20. “Hold It Don’t Drop It“
  21. “Untitled” (Video Interlude)
  22. “Let’s Get Loud“
  23. “Papi“
  24. “On the Floor“
Encore
  1. “Dance Again“
 
By the end of the show, I was jumpin’ and dancin’!! I love love love the experience. JLo really worked up the crowd (although, most of the peeps around us are just standing there…What are you doing in a concert if you’re just gonna stand there and judge people having a good time?)
 
I got home all blistered and tired but its all worth it! I must say, this experience is much better than MDNA. But that’s just me.

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)
