A Fangirl Collection

     "Any fan can give-up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everything is falling apart, that's the true fangirl."

     Some people sees me as a fangirl but when did I start to became one?

     90's. That's the time when I started to be a fangirl. How? It's the time when I liked 90's boybands like Westlife, Backstreet Boys, A1, etc. I also started collecting their albums but unfortunately, when we transferred to other place, my parents misplaced it and I don't know where is it anymore. But even though I lost it, I downloaded it once again thru internet.

     Then Taiwanese Dramas invasion came. That's the time I got addicted to the band, Fei Lun Hai (Fahrenheit). I first saw one of their member, Jiro Wang, in "It Started With A Kiss" and followed by Wu Chun in "Hana Kimi". But before them, I also get interested in the band, F4. They were popularly known because of their drama, "Meteor Garden". My mom once asked my why I'm always watching their dramas even though I can't understand their language. It's not about the language but it's about how you feel while watching it and their personality in real life. From then on, I started to collect albums and stuffs once again.

     KPop. At first, I really don't have any interest about them as my focus is on CPop. But when I knew Super Junior, it changes it all. I started to get to know more about them at first and search their songs in the internet. I also remember when Siwon and Donghae visited our country, I really bought their endorsement as my way to show how I am supporting them.

     KathNiel and Parking 5. Growing Up brought me to them. When I started to watch their show, I once said, "Oh hey. They have a special chemistry on-screen". They made me feel the sweetness between them and you can see how close they are with each other. I also like DJ's band, Parking 5. I first saw them personally in "Must Be Love" Block Screening with KathNiel KaDreamers World. And all that I can say is that they are all down-to-earth person. They all pay attention to their fans who wants to take a picture with them. And take note, they are all handsome too.

     I also liked High School Musical, Camp Rock, Twilight and so on...

     Here's a picture of my collection. A proud fangirl.

     Here's the close-up picture...

     "Being a fangirl means having the capability and fortitude to stand steadfastly despite the blows of an episode."

CNBlue In Manila

               Last June 14, 2013, my first favorite KPop group visited Manila for their Blue Moon Concert here in the Philippines. They arrived here in the Philippines around 11:00 am. As a fan of theirs, I went to their Live Press Conference in SM Megamall because, I know myself that it's once in a lifetime experience to see them in person. And also, I don't have a chance to watch their concert.

               I arrived at the mall at exactly 11:30 am and I'm surprised that there's already a lot of fans waiting at the Event Center. As fast as I could, I looked around to find a better spot so that I can see CNBlue nearer. I'm so glad because there's a space near the stage, but it's on the second floor of the mall. It's okay with me.

               At exactly 4:00 in the afternoon, CNBlue already arrived at the venue. As a fan of theirs, I'm so excited to see them in person. I also ran thru the entrance of the mall to see them closer. One word that I can describe them - HANDSOME. It's another dream do come true for me.

               As the press conference goes by, me and co-fans at the second floor area are shouting at the members name so that they could notice us up there.The most unforgettable for me is when there's a silence in our are then I shouted "Jonghyun! Tingin!" (Jonghyun! Look up!) and then he looked up and looked at me with a smile. At the back of my mind, I thought "He did understand Tagalog? Haha" because when I shouted that Tagalog word, he really looked up.

               The press conference took up only for 30 minutes yet i really enjoyed it. A LOT! I can't believe that I already saw my favorite KPop band personally.

04-30-2013 The Daniel Padilla Live Birthday Concert

               April 30, 2013 ~ the most awaited day of DJ's fans, most especially the KathNiel fans ~ his birthday concert live at the Araneta Coliseum. It's the birthday treat of DJ to his fans that supported him from the very start.

               I arrived at the venue at exactly 3:30 pm and looked for my new friends. It's actually my second time to attend events related to KathNiel so I don't have enough friends. Luckily, the day before the concert, some of KaDs allowed me to join them. When we're on the line, we talked some Kathniel stuffs while waiting for the gate to open.

               At exactly 6:00pm, the gates of the Araneta Coliseum were now open. We immediately went to the Upper Box B to have a great view for the concert. Fans were running inside to choose their own seat. Luckily to us, we sitted in the middle so that we can clearly see the stage.

               Before the concert started, they had a short games for all the fans plus the presence of Daniel Padilla look-a-like is also there. The concert started at exactly 8:00pm wherein DJ sang his own version of "We Will Rock You". Then followed by "Ligaya", "Ang Huling El Bimbo" and "Kamusta Ka". After that, he introduced Arnel Pineda, as one of his guest, on stage singing I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing". And then followed by Yeng Constantino singing "Awit ng Kabataan" and the very famous "Salamat".

               After a while, DJ came up on the stage once again, singing "Binibini", his new song in DJP album "Sisikat Din Ako", and "Yugyugan Na". In the part of where he will sing "Diskarte", he serenaded a girl, KFC Promo winner. *Such a lucky girl* And then, he also sang his very first single which is "Prinsesa".

               Of course, the concert would not be completed without a special number with his brothers singing "Mr. Suave" wherein they have mustache. This gave a loud impact from the audience.

               After the Padilla Brothers on stage, it's time for DJ's band, Parking 5, to perform. They sang "Mr. Brightside" and "Bulletproof Heart". In this moment in time, DJ used the bass guitar (Kathryn's gift to his birthday last April 26). Also, his band members gave their birthday messages to the birthday boy.

               The other songs that DJ sang were "Come Together", She Loves You", "Ticket To Ride", "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", and the most sentimental song wherein all the lights were off "With or Without You".

               And after that, the most awaited moment, especially for Kathniel fans, is next. DJ started to sing the song "Ako'y Sa'yo at Ika'y Akin Lamang" while pictures of Kathryn flashed on the screen. The fans shouted out loud because of "kilig factor" filled in the coliseum. After a while, Kathryn came up on stage, singing her part of the song. This is now the Kathniel moment ~ the most highlight of the event, i think, for the fans. While having some sweet conversations, another guest came up on stage.

               "Hep.. Hep... Hep..." That was the first sentence that the person said. The audience shouted out loud once again as we already knew who is that person. It's none other than Vice Ganda. Then DJ joked "May inaabangan akong lumabas, hindi ikaw." which the fans laughed so hard. After that, Vice requested to replay on the part where Kath went up on stage because Vice Ganda noticed that DJ is no expression at all except on his smile.

Here are some "kilig conversation"...

Vice Ganda: Umarte ka lang naman sana na nagulat ka na lumabas si Kathryn! Di ba ganun yun? Kunwari di mo alam kahit sabay kayong dumating."

----------

DJ: Hindi kami puro arte, hindi kami plastik.

Vice Ganda: O sige, isa-isahin natin yang nga arte na yan.

Kath: Uy wag.

----------

Vice Ganda: Ikaw na ang may sabi... ANG TAGAL!

DJ: Wag na!

Vice Ganda: Ayy gusto mo siya.

----------

Kath: Ikaw na ang may sabi....

DJ: Ng alin?

----------

Kath: Talent, ung fans, nasa kanya na ang lahat. Ano pa ba ang kulang.

Vice Ganda: Ikaw! Nasa kanya ka na ba? Ikaw na lang ang kulang.

DJ: Oo nga.

----------

Kath: DJ, pwede mo ba akong i-Panchot?

Vice Ganda: Mali!

Kath: Ano pala?

Vice Ganda: I-Panchot mo ako!

----------

Vice Ganda: DJ, ako nga, ipa-experience mo nga sa akin yan. I-Panchot mo ako.

*umatras si Kath*

*kumapit si DJ kay Kath sabay yakap*

Vice Ganda: Siraulo!

----------

Vice Ganda: Hindi pa sila kinikilig. May kulang! Kasi kung kinikilig sila, tahimik na dapat yang mga yan. Patay na sa kilig.

              And because of Vice Ganda, DJ danced "Teach Me How to Dougie", "Harlem Shake" and the newest dance craze "Gentleman" with Kath and Vice Ganda. And of course after that, Kathryn gave her sweet birthday message to DJ plus on how happy she was to see how successful his concert is.

A touching moment...

DJ: ... At tsaka ikaw ang nagdala sa akin nung una palang.

Kath: Naks. *wiping her tears*

*DJ hugged Kathryn*

*Vice Ganda is crying*

Kath: Bakit ka umiiyak

Vice Ganda: Gusto ko kasi may gumanyan din sa akin eh. Matagal ko na siyang (DJ) gustong mayakap ng ganyan kaso sinusuntok niya ako palagi.

          Then, Kath and DJ sang their duet version of Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat. Before Kathryn says goodbye to the audience, DJ said "Wag mo akong iwan, ihahatid pa kita." Then before Kath could go down the stage, she kissed DJ.

          After those sweet moments of Kathniel, it's almost time for the concert to be over. DJ sang his final songs "Pasubok" where the fans witnessed that DJ is now crying, then "Hinahanap-hanap Kita".

               The other guest stars in the concert were Pokwang, Manny and Jinky look-a-likes, Star Magic Batch 2013, Yong-An and Kiray.

DKFC Moment

               January, 19, 2013.... The most awaited event for most of the KPop fans here in the country, the DKFC ~ Dream KPop Fantasy Concert. But for me, there's something more in this event. Even though I didn't have a chance to watch this concert, it's okay with me. I already accepted that it's not my time to watch their concert. But, when we try to go to the venue, we saw EXO and they waved their hands on us.

               Here's my story why it's something special today. First of all, my friends are finally complete on this day. I miss the feeling that we're complete. Of course, we didn't let the chance passed by without taking pictures but the funny thing is that we're having our "pictorial" in the girls CR. Hahaha!!! 

               And then after that, we roam around the Mall Of Asia plus having a lunch date in Mang Inasal. Unfortunately, some of the buyers of my friend's KPop merchandises already texted her that they are already at the venue and ready to pick-up their orders. So I volunteered myself to go with her so that she won't get lost afterwards.

               So that's it, we're already at the venue of the concert but there's no sign of the buyer. We texted and called her many times but didn't get replies. While we're walking at the side, another friend approached us. She told us that she saw Kert oppa so we asked her where did she see him. She walked to the place where he is and she pointed to him where are we. Afterwards, we didn't expect that he will approach us and get out of the line. We had a few conversation and took a pic with him.

               After that moment, we already said our goodbye to him. Also, there's still no sign of the buyer so we decided to go to the other side of the venue. While looking at those people who are in the line, there's  someone who is like calling us. "Psst... Psst..." When we looked back, it's James oppa who is calling us and he said "Hi." to us. Of course, we also said "Hi." to him as well. And we also take the chance to have a pic with him.

               At exactly 5:00pm, there's still no sign of the buyer, so we decided to go back. When we got there, we saw our other friends getting ready to go home. So, we bid our goodbye to them. But before that, taking some pics with them, especially with Jaeshin cutiepie.
