<p>PCD (Post-concert depression) is real for local celebrities and personalities who attended the two-day shows of SB19’s Simula at Wakas concert held on May 31 and June 1 at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.</p><p> Former MYX VJ and host Ai Dela Cruz shared her favorite moments from the show in a heartfelt Instagram post, highlighting 10 things she loved about the concert.</p><p> “1. The lyrics on-screen for every song. Simple but brilliant. Very Pinoy-coded. 🇵🇭 2. That David Blaine moment in the opening. Pang-<em>Pilipinas Got Talent</em> yung magic HAHA. Swipe to see what I mean. 3. Live band + new song arrangements + new riffs. Binali yung songs pero hindi OA. Saktong kulot at extra challenge lang. Sarap sa tenga nung mga bali. 4. The art behind every detail. The storytelling. The raw emotions. Nakakabuhay ng creative juices makanood ng show na pinag-isipan lahat. 5. Organized scanning of tickets, pagpasok, at distribution of LED wristbands, which made the arena more beautiful. Naingatan ang fan experience,” Ai wrote, commending the concert experience.</p><div> </div><div><strong></strong></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKZbWxfyKOF/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A83159.80000000005%2C%22ls%22%3A82620.30000000005%2C%22le%22%3A83084.19999999995%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p><strong> </strong>She continued praising the visual direction, creative concepts, and how fellow fans and celebrities alike showed up in full force.</p><p> “Seeing all the artists from different fields who fangirled/fanboyed and came just to watch SB19.

Visual control. The effects were wisely placed. It was calm and quiet at times, and wild and vibrant when needed. Hindi nakakapagod sa mata. May pahinga. 8. All the cuteness!

That A’TIN solidarity and discipline. Tumatalon pag party mode. Tumatahimik pag soft hours. Nando-dogshow when the situation calls for it. Naglilinis ng paligid after the show. 10.
