HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy New Year everyone~!!

Bye 2009 and Hello 2010.

Whoa~ That was fast. I can still remember what had happened to me this whole year.
Every details... Even the smallest details I can still remember it.XD LOL


The start of 2009 was good. One of the highlights is that I started to get hooked with Super Junior. What a good start~ LOL. I changed SuJu guy from time to time. Until I stopped at Sungmin Lee, and Im fine with him~ XD

Everything was fine until June. June was a rough month not only to me but to my family.

Mama [my grandma] passed away. I was sooooo DAMN HARD to wake up every morning and not seeing someone at the sala waving at you during breakfast. I always feel sad to go home coz I know no one will ask me if I have eaten already. It's not fun to watch Sorry,Sorry MV anymore if she is not my watching buddy. It's really hard to lose a love one. But time taught me how to accept. Mama is up there, happily watching over me. ^^

On the bright side. [LOL]. I still have my daddy, mommy, sibs and friends. Hehehehe...


Uhmmm.... what else had happen to me....

Well, the fangirling continued and continued up to the next level.

Oh. The MIN presents that I got last bday.
Whaaa~~ So love it.
[Zaty, i'll show u the other soon. I m just lazy to post pics. XD and the guns~ LOL]



Oh..~Oh..~ One of the highlights is the SHINee and Key moment. Gonna remember that forever. =)


*sigh...


Im excited what's in store for me this 2010. But I wsh evryone good health and wealth. XD

Fantastic! Elastic! pt.3

YES. Shinee~!!!SHINEE IS NEXT.

Temparature rising,screams covered the whole hall.
Excitement within the fans [including me] is sending shivers down to our spines.
This is the moment that we've been waiting for~~
The long wait is over~~

Isak and Luis made an introduction first~
After a few spiels.Isak ask the audience to kept quiet for a moment coz a clip will be played~

All of us stared at the big screen.
HOLY Sh**~! They played the TEASER of RING DING DONG MV.... And then fans went TOTALLY WILD~!SCREAMS ALL OVER.
Of course the clip was less than a minute, during the clip, after every members have their close up shot, it's funny to hear the screams increasing-decreasing. LOL.

After the teaser was shown.. All eyes are at the stage while screaming.
No lights are turned on. Not even a lil spotlight. But we can still see people going on the centerstage... There's one... two... three... four shadows of not so clear people but we know who they are.. [No Taemin coz he is sick and wasn't able to join the group.]They stood there..
Still no lights..
Fans kept on screaming~
AND then BAM~!!! LIGHTs of different color, and spotlights to the people on the stage was switched on sooo brightfully.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!IT's SHINee....
OMG. I can't believe it. SHINee in the Philippines soil. SHINee on a CCP stage. SHINee in front of their FILIPINO fans FOR REAL~!!! And I can't believe we Shinee, ME and other SHAWOLS are all breathing the same air for once in our lives~ ^___^
Then an intro... a lovely intro...sounded familiar~~
Then fans screamed again~~~ Waaah~!!
And then along with the music... Shinee started to sing...
STAND BY ME nal parabwajwo~~

WAAAH~!!! Scream... squealing all over he place...
OMG. I thought Im gonna die that night not bcoz I finally saw Shinee in person but bcoz CCP hall might collapsed coz of the high level fangirls~~XD
Boys over Flowers video is played in the big screen and I bet not all shawols noticed that along the way the video got cut off or cut through the middle literally. I just noticed that the video only has Jan Di's half face, LOL. [Pirated??]
The boys couldn't sing their lines properly. They couldn't hear themselves and couldn't hear the things which should be heard from their earpiece. They would put a forced smile once in a while not bcoz they are not happy BUT they did not expect such energetic fans to cheer for them like that. In short, they are SHOCKED.
Filipino SHAWOLS went really wild every minute. I guess they really had difficulty on hearing each other [or hearing themselves] coz of the place. The hall couldn't handle such loud scream like that~..
AnywaysOf course that wouldn't be a problem~They sang the first song whole heartedly~ ^__^
Though our seat is at the 3rd floor, I tried my best to feel their aura from afar.~

OMG.I told myself..
This is it. Savor the moment.
I put my eyes first onto JONGHYUN.
OH gosh. Jonghyun is glowing like his hair~ Jin jja~!!I hated the color but when I saw it in real life only Jonghyun can pull off a hair like that. I mean for an Asian. ^^. I must say, Jonghyun is a natural beauty.[ I saw a fancam of them arriving @ tha airport and Jong stands out coz of the hair and... and ... He's just goddamn GLOWING~!!!]
Next is ONEW. Onew is a cutie~ Handsome, cutie, handsome, cutie... Really nice voice. It sounds different in real life. Different in a good way of course..
Next is MINHO. OMG, the handsome young grown up person in the world. MINHO is a one hot catch~ And at last I was able to keep my promise. I promised to myself that If I saw MinHo in person, I would cheer for him like what EUNHYUK do in "Let's GO! DREAM TEAM!" [Chubarl Dream Team]. And I did. Sooo happy. XD
Last but definitley MY no.1 Shining member is KEY~!! Waaah~! [excuse me Sungmin~]MY KEY!! MIGHTY KEY!!!OMG. I CANNOT SEE KEY's handsome face.Because:
1.) Im at the 3rd floor and he's down there.. So far.
2.) I wasn't with myself when I realized that Im really screaming over him in person... LIVE!
and 3.) The thing that covers his face is such a disaster! At first I thought it's a hat... like a Fedora or something. But it was so shiny, so it couldn't be a hat. Then it moved one time when he kind of headbanged. Then I realized that it is a hair. OMG. How can Koreans have their hair pressed against their head/forehead that neatly??!! I was impressed at the same time dissappointed coz it's abig obstruction on my fangirling moment~. BUT I must say, I did not regret choosing Key over the others. Coz he can be cute and soooo manly at the same time~ LOVE~~![And then I am off to dreamland. LOL. XD]

Okay. Back to the show. After they sing STAND BY ME, They introduce theirselves with their trademark hand move. ^^Onew talked and of course it's in Korean so we didn't understand a thing. All of the fans were shouting "English~! English~!" to Onew so that he'll speak in English. Unfortunately. Onew did not~
After that, JULLIETTE was put on. And do I have to say this again. What do you expect from the fans?? A much louder scream of course~ XD
But it kind of break my heart when the boys positioned themselves and you will notice that a spot is unfilled. :( Fans really misses Taemin a lot. :(
Minho sang Taemin's lines and the no. was a great overall performance.
I don't know how this kids do it, but what what u see in the MV, in Music Bank, Inkigayo etc..etc.. are the same on what I saw in CCP. Same level of energy and all. It was superb.

After Julliette, Isak and Luis went to the centerstage to interview the boys.
Language barrier isn't a problem coz Isak was there. She wasn't just a host but an interpreter as well. I felt a bit disappointed about KEY again coz he didn't speak in English eventough he's fluent to speak it. :(
Each member made an extra talent... Isak asked extra talents to show from the boys.
MINHO started and showd his runway model walk.
Next to him is ONEW. Onew didn't show any extra talent, but he cutely imitates MINHO's runway walk.. with a hand-up-in-the-sky pose.
After Onew is KEY. Waaah... MY KEY. Isak asked to audience to keep quiet coz KEY will rap in ENGLISH. And KEY did, he got MINHO beatboxed for him. :)
Last to do something is JONGHYUN, and JONGHYUN sang a bit from a song that could make all "NOONAS" go crazy. Jong sang his line from their song "Noona neomu Yeppeo". waaah. JONGHYUN's voice is to squeall for. so Smooth~~ 0_o

to be continued..

One and only BEIJING FRIED RICE

Don't leave SJ just like that.

Everything will be alright.

Fantastic! Elastic! Pt.2

The show started with the singing of national anthem. It was first time to hear S.Korea's national anthem, eventhough I don't understand it, you'll sense their patriotism in the music.

The first performance is like an intoduction performance. First set of performers are my fellowmen. They showcased a cultural dance complete with traditional costumes and instruments. I kind of missed their complete performance coz I went outside again to look for my sisters whom luckily got inside [before I went out. *_*]. I also missed important people who played a good role between the diplomatic relations of my country to South Korea. Yeah, I was still outside then. T_T. I missed the ambassador's speech, they said it's funny... IDK. XD

And then to first part of the program.

VJ Isak [Arirang, Pops in Seoul] and VJ Luis Manzano [famous actor/VJ in the Phils] hosted the the show.

The first to perform on the first half the program are the Arirangtown Club [??]. This group comprises of Filipino teenagers who are into Kpop and they prepared a dance number. Their music are of course Kpop songs~ Girl's Generation, U-Kiss and of course SHINee. ^^

Second to perform is Avi.... [oh gosh I forgot her surname]. A Filipina teenager who won last years Phil-Kor talent show.

For the night's show, she performed... what else.. the undying "Nobody" by wonder girls, the song that drive us nuts in a bad way coz it is getting to our nerves already. Getting sick of this song~~~ But infairness to Avi, the girl really has talent.

Third performer is one of my favorites. A Korean boy who sang a Filipino song. [Gosh~ I forget the name again~ T_T]

He sang the famous classic Filipino song ANAK by Freddie Aguilar. I must say hands down to this kid coz his accent is so good considering that he only started to live in the Phils less than 2 years ago~ So wow~!

Before the VJs wrap up the first part of the show, they left the audience with VTRs.

There is a VTR that shows how Philippines started to have a diplomatic relation with S.Korea and stuffs like that. It's like a history subject @ school. ^^ And the other VTR is like madness, coz they got few Korean artist including Idol groups to speak and send messages to the Friendship Fest. I swear it's fun to hear all the screams increasing-decreasing whenever the video will switch from one artist to another. Few Kpop artist who greeted were: U-Kiss, Tiara, MBLAQ, One Two, 2pm, my fave. Girls Generation [I love it coz Sooyoung is the one who started SNSD's greetings], my other fave.F(x) [I swear Amber's fangirls went wild including me. XD], SS501, FT Island, of course 2ne1 and Of course Sandara's own greeting. LOL at Sandara coz she did not greet the people but kept on asking if Filipinos missed her. XD. I think I missed a few artists coz again I forgot who else~~ *_*

2ND HALF of the show:

VJ Isak changed her outfit from gown to wild.

She opened the 2nd half with her own version of Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You".

After a few chitchats with VJ Luis. They called up the first Artist to perform[for the 2nd part]. Brownman Revival. Whooo~!

Grabe ang gwapo nung vocalist~!!!! Tama ka ms. Athena. LINTIK talaga~! [oopps. Sorry for that Tagalog all of the sudden] Brownman revival is the Filipino front act for the show.

2nd to perform is the Korean hip-hop duo Mighty Mouth. Actually, I don't know them that much. Only by name. But I heard that they made a collaboration with famous actrous and ex-Baby VOX member Yoon Eun Hye, and that's it. But I must say, this 2 gentlemen knew how to bring out the ENERGY of the fangirls~ Thay even went down the stage and made a great interaction with the Shawols~ :) It was so fun~ How I wish I was there, down @ the orchestra...

Another Korean act performed after them. Winter Play. I think they are the only successful Jazz band in Korea.[im my own POV]. It's my first time to hear them played their instruments and sing~.
M.J. would be so proud if he was able to listen to the band's own version of BILLY JEAN.
With all infairness, they gave justice to the song with their own rendition. They also
sang Gypsy Girl.. IDK what song is that. It was my first time to hear it.
Winter Play is sooo good and I forgot to say that they are the 2nd to the last performers...

2nd to the last.. Which means...

YES.
Shinee~!!!


SHINEE IS NEXT

Fantastic! Elastic! :) Pt.1

Finally..

At last, I'm back again.

And I'm ready to share my Shining, shimmering, splendid week [actually this isn't week ago, but decades ago. @_@. I'm so late making entries~~ spare me.]

But first to my Zaty dongsaeng.. yeah. I think u should prepare the guns coz I don't know if u could handle what had happen to me.. *cough*Key*cough*. :)

note.

Alternative titles for this entry are:

-60th Philippines-Korea Friendship Festival
-Next Level K-Pop Adventure
-A Full time ELF, part time SHAWOL

or
-How grannyLEE cheated Lee SUNGMIN? [yeah.. right. I can hear my sibs agreeing to this~].

Ok. Shoot.

[warning: Novel ahead. *_*]

Remember my 2 entries ago~
I was so down and broken when I found out that I am sooo unlucky not to see SHINee performing live. I wasn't a big fan of them and I haven't memorized any of their songs. BUT seeing them in person, seeing a K-pop artist in person is what a K-pop fangirl would always dream of. So I don't want to miss this kind of thing. Considering also that SHINee is the first K-pop Idol group to perform in my homeland, so definetly shouldn't miss~

Day before the big event, I was silently finding ways how to get tickets. I surf and surf the web to death, searching for some possibilities. I send millions of insisting mails to the event organizers if they can give me extra tickets, but I always get a response that.. NO! No Tickets... Already Gone... Tickets was given back to Arirang.. and so on and so forth. I find myself hopeless, don't want to persue anymore. Just let it slip~ Just like that. But Suddenly... while I was eating my lunch @ our office pantry, goddessAthena ran to me and loudly delivered a good news. [Yeah, she shouted it~ LOL]. Her K-pop Chingu Yayo-ssi has an extra ticket and she's willing to give it to ME.

WAAAAHHAHAHAAH~!!! I was like in heaven knowing that it's sure that I will see them~. SHINING, SHIMERING, SPLENDID!

goddessAthena, u are truly a goddess. *wink* Komawo to u and your friend. ^^

Day of the event, an unexpected thing happen. MY BOSS did not allow me to take a leave from work. TT_TT. Ok I don't want to explain it. To make it short, I had to use my bone illness just to get myself out from the office. [And I hope God won't punish me T_T].

Finally, I arrived at the venue~

OMG!! Fangirls, fanboys are evrywhere [with their fanmoms]. I mean, I haven't been to any concert lately so Im kind of shocked [The last performers I see live are HILLSONG Church AU, and it's a worship night.. so Culture shock. XD] ...And most of them are ofcourse wearing their Blue SHAWOL shirts.

But what really suprises me are the teens who [sorry, if Im gonna used this term...] were TRYING HARD to look like Koreans.@_@ Ok, the SHINee Trend is fine, I can handle it. Bright colored shoes and bright colored shirts, it's ok. BUT why would you wear winter boots and knitted sweater IN A TROPICAL COUNTRY!!!!!!!! COME ON~! Think of something else to do to show how you adore Korean culture... eat Kimchi will waiting for the gates to open, that'd be cool~ :)

OK. Back to the real story...

Like what I said teens are evrywhere BUT I didn't expect that most of the teens who are in the line are the people who doesn't have tickets. And 2 of them are my sisters..

My Unnie and dongsaeng decided to try their luck to have tickets on the day itself. And it was like 20-80% chances of having tickets. Im so bothered about it coz the 2 of them likes SHINee more than me~ T_T

Minutes, hours had passed and yet SHAWOLs who doesn't have tickets kept on coming. And geez I started to feel sorry for them. [Including my sisters~]

The doors had opened and excitement among the fans invaded the whole venue.

We, me, goddessAthena and 2 other friends, are Balcony ticket holders. And Balcony is on the 3rd floor. I can imagine at that time how SHINee would be sooo small in my eyes, but it's ok. ^^

We went in the building, up to the 3rd floor and went in the hall.

OMG again~! Once I set my foot in the hall how I really wanted to step back. :) Bcoz the screams of fangirls, fanboys, fanmoms can nearly kill a person. XD

Yes. I do scream but it's my first time to hear something like that. I thought CCP will be destroyed coz the place is not used to it, plus it's a scared place for musicals, cultural events, silent kind of entertainment... So CCP and me are shocked.XD. BUT yeah, loud screams are one hell of excitement!!!!HAHAHAHA...

The show hasn't start yet but they were screaming over the K-pop vids that are playing on the big screen. It was a BIG BANG vid that was playing when my friends went in. Fans are not just singing along with the vid but they were singing using FANCHANTS as if they were on SBS Inkigayo or KBS Music Bank. I must say, Filipinos are truly into HALYU WAVE~ ^_^

That time I was still bothered by my 2sisters coz I know they are still outside.

I went out again to look for them and told myself~ come what may~~~. But me being worried became twice when I cannot find them among the frustrated fans. Soooo worried.. I wanted to go home~ Suddenly my Unnie texted me, "Diane, get in.. we're already inside. Jade[my younger sis] is at the Balcony-4th flr. And I'm at the 1st floor."

I was relieved, only for half a sec. Coz it changed to being envious~ LOL.

Who wouldn't feel envy of my big sis. The person who went to the venue WITHOUT an assurance of having a ticket is NOW AT THE 1ST FLOOR~! She could've even catch bits of Shinee's perspiration during the show. SOOOO damn lucky~ {Zaty, can u imagine now my unnie's fancam?? XD]

I went back and focused on the show...

[.. to be continued....]

to zaty: hold back those guns. LOL. waaah... u're gonna be crazy if I show u the pics.

to KaNGaRoo: Can you figure out now who is Sungmin's dongsaeng I am talking about~??

Both of you: Jinjja bogoshipoyo~ T_T
