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.

KPop Convention 2012

               Last Dec. 29, 2012, another KPop event was held. But this time, the venue was held in PICC. I know that I arrived so late that cause me irrated. I didn't get to watch the performance of Super Simple. I missed some performances too. But it's okay, my friends there got a good view near the stage. 

              But before I went to them, I passed by to the booth of SJ United. The first one I saw there was James oppa. I didn't expect that he greeted me. Haha. *so it means, he knew me.* Haha. And after that, I aprroached may friends near the stage quickly. Not so long, Joy, a friend of mine, invited me to look around the venue, as well as, visiting the SJ United PH booth again. Again and again, I saw James oppa there. And again, he greeted me with a smile. Hehe. As well as Kert oppa, who is giving a blue banner with his name. *I have one. He gave it to me too* Of course, we didn't let the opportunity passed without taking pics with them. *Quota* Haha...

               At 2:30 pm, a new KPop boyband, A.Cian, was on stage. They performed their songs and had a short interview. They amazed me, as well. Even though I didn't knew them that well, they got the looks. And one of them caught my attention. Hihihi..

               And not so long, I saw Kert, James and others *sorry, I don't know their names* on stage. I don't know what contest is that or something because I went somewhere when I saw them on stage. Lucky girls who were with them on stage... *envy me* especially the pic taken by my friend... oh no.. I don't know if she already uploaded it. Haha. 

               And of course, KPop Fashionista is next. My friend, Jae Shin, was a contestant there. When he got on stage, we were the first who cheered him. He's so cool up on stage. The funny thing is that the people in front of us are covering their ears because of our loud cheers for our friend. Haha. *we got the loudest cheer huh*

               At exactly 6:00 pm, we decided to go home and didn't finish the event as we're already tired and Jae Shin also needs a rest, as well. Unexpectedly, before we reached the exit, we saw Kert and his brothers. Haha. *Lucky us? Maybe?* Lalala. And once again, we get that chance to have a pics with them once again. But for me, it's different. I hugged him plus a pic. LOL. *It's an exchange hug, actually, because he hugged me last KNation*. So all in all, I enjoyed the event with my friends. As in SUPER!  An awesome celebration before the end of 2012.

Thank you for an awesome and joyous event before the end of Year 2012!!!

KPop Nation Fever

               Today, Dec. 27, 2012, another KPop event was held in Megamall ~ KPop Nation 2012. It was another event for the fans as a KPop boyband was also there ~ FCUZ. But for me, it's an another purpose why I attended the event.

               It's because I want to support my close friend, Jae Shin. He joined a KPop cosplay at the event as JB of Dream High 2. I also supported James Dungca as Lee Donghae of Super Junior. And of course, we didn't let the day pass if we don't get pictures from our favorite cosplayers. Haha. Anyways, I'm very thankful to those people who are with me today. I won't name names as they already know who they are.

Lee Jae Shin as JB of Dream High 2

James Juroc Dungca as Lee Donghae of Super Junior

               But the most unforgettable experience for me today is that when I hugged 3 of my favorite cosplayers. Haha. But one of them hugged me FIRST. *as always* Guess who is he. LOL. But all in all, I enjoyed the day with my friends, especially Lee Jae Shin or what I called him in a codename of "Cutiepie".

12-01-2012 ~ Happy December 1st

               December 1, 2012 ~> a special day for ELFs as it's the day of the album launch of Sexy, Free and Single and Skip Beat OST. When I got there with a friend of mine, we already saw how long the line is for them to buy the albums. Fortunately, I saw my SJ buddy, Ma. Angelica sis, somewhere in front of the line so i asked her if she could help me in the line too and she said yes.

               So after 3 to 4 hours of waiting, we finally bought our own copy of the album plus the freebies. There's also a raffle for the portrait. Of course, I'm hoping that I could get at least one of those portraits. And then, after that, we stayed at the 5th floor for a while as it is where the program is happening. And there, we saw 2 of the Mr. Simple 2012 contestants ~ James and Jaeshin oppas. Of course, we took the opportunity to have a pic with them which they gladly agreed. Oh, plus the sis of Jaeshin oppa. We also saw Rhein oppa, but we can't approach him because he seems so busy at that time.

               At exactly 3:00pm, I guess, we invited Jaeshin oppa and his sister to have a lunch with us and they said yes. We went to Greenwich to grab our late lunch. Hehe. Of course, we talked a lot of stuffs, anything under the sun. Plus we asked Jaeshin oppa to have a fansign. And what cute happened is that he gave us a cute band aid with a short message from him.

               And when we came back to the venue, we didn't know that the event is already over and the group of "Super Simple" danced already. But it's okay, when we got there we saw Raymond, Kert, MelEdsel and their younger brother. We also grabbed the opportunity to have a pic with them + hugs + "akbay" + autograph. But what really gave me chills is what Kert oppa did to me. *okay, I won't tell it here because some will like "kill me to death". Haha. But my friends who are with me knows that. And because of that, I didn't get back my sign pen that he used for our autograph from him. Oh well, it's okay.

               All in all, I really do enjoy the event. Of course, with my friends who are with me the whole day. Thanks to them. It was a day to remember.

10-19-2012 A Jonas Brothers Experience

When You Look Me In The Eyes...

SOS...

Burnin' Up...

Lovebug...

Paranoid...

               Who would have thought that the band who sang those songs will be having a concert here in the Philippines? Yes, it's the Jonas Brothers!!! My first favorite band ever since I became a fangirl. When I heard that they'll be having a concert here in the Philippines, I immediately told about this to my mom. And she said "Yes, I'll buy you a ticket but promise me to pass your defense in FS!!".

               This girls... This girls are the girls that I met when Jonas Brothers Philippines held a JoBros Fan Party Online. Yes, it started there and we all asked each other's twitter as we all want to meet new friends who have the same interest. And before the concert, we decided to have a meet-up so that we can know each other more.

               October 19, 2012... This is it! It is the day that we waited for. The first to arrive at Mall Of Asia  were Milky, Krizzle and I. We have a small chat first while waiting for the others. After an hour of waiting, the others have arrived. What the funny thing is that "Cellphone Call", wherein Roch and Krizzle is actually talking to their phone while they are already in face-to-face... That was EPIC!!!

               At exactly 7:45, the band, Paraluman, went on stage to perform as an Opening Act. After that, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, a half-Pinay star from Camp Rock, finally came out. What made me amazed is that she sang 3 OPM songs which are Torete, Hinahanap-hanap Kita and Be Careful with My Heart. Also, she also sang her own composition entitled Insomia. She really has a great voice and so beautiful in person.

               And at exactly 8:00pm, the main reason why we are at the concert was because of the Jonas Brothers!!! They came out as the fans screamed so loud. They started the party as they sang my favorite song "When You Look Me In The Eyes". Here's the song list that Jonas Brothers sang:

               The Jonas Brothers rocked the Mall Of Asia, together with the fans. And you'll hear that some of their songs were actually singing by their fans. And what made the fans so emotional is when Nick Jonas sang the "Wedding Bells" and A Little Bit Longer". But all-in-all, their performance is one of a kind and they didn't fail in any time. They are really amazing because they did the concert in 2 hours straight without taking any breaks. So amazing right? Like what Nick Jonas had said to his twitter account, "It's a night to remember".

               So, thank you Jonas Brothers for making your fans' dream came true.. Thank you Joe Jonas (for seeing you 2 times this year), Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas. Hope that you'll come back here once again... Maybe for your upcoming album launching? Hope so..

               I miss this conversation of members of Fahrenheit. It's good to see that inspite of the controversies that they experience, they are still in contact. And this one ~ weibo conversations~ is an example on how they have a good relationship with each other. But one member is missing, and that is Wu Chun. I'm just wondering if ever Chun will have an account in Weibo, he can join this cute and memorable conversations between them four. But we all know that even though Chun doesn't have one, they can still contact Chun through mobile, right?

FAHRENHEIT 4EVER!!!

"None of you believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself."

My DREAM Turns to REALity

           Last August 15, 2012, a day that what Philippine ELFs are waiting for. It's Time For SIHAE in MANILA!!! And yes, I'm one of them who are so excited to see the two famous members of the famous Korean boyband, Super Junior. Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae became a part of the Bench/ family last summer which gave a surprise for the fans. And then, finally, they went to Manila for endorsing of the said clothing brand.

               Upon arriving at Trinoma at exactly 10:30am, I was surprised to see that there's already a lot of fans who are already on their place to stay on. But in my case, I'm still waiting a text from a friend of mine about on how will I enter the venue eventhough I didn't win the raffle. My friend and I went somewhere to eat first as we both know that we can't eat anymore later on.

               After eating our lunch, we separated ways first as she won the raffle and I don't.. *which made me sad a bit* While waiting, I stayed at a corner for a while. After few seconds, there's a mom who approached me as maybe she thinks that I'm alone at the event. She said, "You can stay with my daughter for a while." I think for a second if I'll go with her or not. I decided to go with her as I really don't want to be alone. She gave me a seat to sit on too. *what a good mom*

               Two hours before the event, a camera took a video of ELFs while raising their collections, banners, huge pictures and tarpaulins. And of course, they also started to play some Super Junior songs. While playing the songs, the fans also started the fanchants along the song. Also, they played the BTS photoshoot of Siwon and Donghae. It made me more excited as well as disappointed a bit because of some reasons.

               Time is really fast approaching. An hour and a half before the event, the mom who approached me saw a marshal raising a coupon. She said, "Maybe they are now allowing fans who didn't won but still have their raffle tickets." I immediately took my raffle coupon inside my wallet and went there. But before that, I also thanked that mom who is really kind to me. *I will never forget that mom*

               Eventhough that what I want to expect didn't happen, there's another good thing happened to me and that is I entered the venue AT LAST!!!! While I'm at the end of a line, I saw a girl who suddenly broke her bag. I tried to help her but she already fixed it. I asked her if she's also alone like me. Well, it's God's fate, she's also alone at that time. Well, not exactly alone. She is with her friend, but unfortunately, her friend is already inside. I asked her if we can enter inside together and she said "yes".

               When we finally entered inside the venue, we jumped for joy. It's really unexpected for us. We looked around and find a place to stay on while waiting for SiHae. We met a lot of new friends as well. We took some pictures there and everywhere. There's really a big smile on our faces and thanked God for the good thing that happened to us.

               And the waiting is over, SiHae finally entered the stage. Of course, fans screamed out loud their names "SIWON, DONGHAE" repeatedly and loudly as a sign of a warm welcome. At first, I noticed that Donghae was not in himself *I think*... Or maybe, he was just surprised to see a LOT of fans waiting to see them. Also, I heard that he's also having a mild headache. And as for Siwon, he was surprised too. After a while, Siwon introduced himself in English. And then, he gave the mic to Donghae after the short introduction of Siwon. Donghae did a 2 introductions of himself. Why..? It's because Donghae introduced himself in Korean language first. After that, Siwon whispered something to him and introduced himself again in English.

               The question and answer portion started after the short introductions. What make fans screamed out loud is when there's a question that Donghae answered he wants to go to Boracay with the ELFs while Siwon wants to go to Cebu. *oh well, ELFs, especially me, want to go with them if ever!!!* Also, ELFs chanted the SS5 MANILA loud and clear. It made Siwon and Donghae smiled. They said that they wanted also to have it here and Siwon added, "I will bring the 10 boys here". He's referring to the other members of Super Junior. Donghae also added, "Let's see SS5, we will take it globally". *hope that it includes the Philippines.*

               Before the signing event, the ELFs asked to speak them some sentences in Tagalog. Siwon said, Philippines, Maganda. Mahal ko kayo!" This short sentenced made the fans go wild. And then it's Donghae's turn. He said, "Mamimiss Kita, Mahal Ko Kayo".

               To make it shorter, after that short speech, the signing of shirts and posters for those lucky fans picked by the host. *Such a lucky fans!!! Especially to a little girl who got a free kiss from Siwon on her forehead*. There's also a group picture of the lucky fans with SiHae. After that, they finally gave their message to the fans who were there in the event. Donghae shortly said, "Philippine ELF, thank you guys. I love you so much, so much." While Siwon said, "I'll always pray for you guys, and then you know, just remember, I will always pray for you guys, okay? God is great! God loves us so much! just remember this, we are Super Junior.". But before leaving the stage, a cute short laughed from Donghae was heard as he was holding his make. And this was made a louder scream from fans and Siwon was surprised and make a funny derp face. 

               When Siwon and Donghae finally exited on the stage, Donghae immediately posted of himself and Siwon on his Twitter post. Donghae thanked the 20, 000 fans who were there but Siwon corrected his tweet by saying it's 25, 000 fans.

               AUGUST 15, 2012!!! It will be forever in my heart. I will never forget this ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience as it was my first time to see my bias in Super Junior. One thing that I admit myself, they are both more handsome personally. I hope that I will see them again soon. Maybe in SS5..? Let's hope.
