..thinking bout how my SGD$420 PayPal payment went..
Please, let me receive an immediate confirmation, and let us have the best seats! Jebal!
Who in the world knew that this is going to happen? This was only a rumor a week ago, and hours earlier today, it was confirmed by the promoter. When I learned the exact date of the fanmeet I thought I was going to pass out. August 25 in Singapore. Nothing seemed so special about that date. But dig this. Back in February I booked an SG flight for my family on August 24-26. How.In.The.World.Did.That.Happen? I made my booking early this year, and now you’re telling me LSG is going to have a fanmeeting on the very same date? I was stunned when I learned the news. My mouth was literally hanging from disbelief. What a coincidence! What pure luck! I must have saved an entire country from my previous life. ^^ I really don’t mind spending again if the date didn’t fall on our trip. But of course having it on the same date is so much.. cheaper, and totally bewildering.
I immediately emailed the promoter and good thing they replied after a few hours. They sent me the ticket sale process, and I have to do telegraphic transfer again to have the Cat 1 seats, the most expensive and of course, the nearest seats. Don’t these guys ever knew how to use PayPal? Just when I thought SG is a modern country.. It seems I have to go through the same arduous process of telegraphic transfer like I did in his official fan club membership. Ok, I did not mean to complain. I really can’t have it all, can I?
But LSG in SG! Goodness, I’m still in a daze. I’ve been there several times, but this one I swear will be the most memorable trip to this country. My teenage hormones are killing me. Sooo excited to fangirl! Now please, do not cancel! š
You know the sentiments I had earlier with Metrodeal? It completely vanished when the concert started. We were given very good seats. To think that these seats costs half the price more, had I not purchased this deal. Anyway, this is my first time entering SM Arena, and if I’m not mistaken, NKOTBSB would be the second performers of this newly constructed dome. SM opened this just merely 2 weeks ago, with its construction going on 24/7 to meet its deadline: Lady Gaga’s concert. Anyway, I won’t go on how SM does its projects, but inside Arena, SM seems to be very obvious. It is a little high against its land area, with numerous seats, mass produced. Reminds me a lot of their condominiums. Unlike Araneta which is expansive. Anyway I think what impressed me most is the lighting. Or was it because the concert has good production? Honestly, I decided to come to this concert because I was a huge fan in highschool, thinking it would be regretful if I let this one pass by. I came toĀ pay my respect, for old times sake. I used to love their music even though they’re generally stereotyped by many. And I still do. I still have all their albums on my iTunes and I listen to them every now and then. And so it was such a rush seeing them again. Him especially. Nicholas Gene Carter. Or just plain Nick Carter. The tall, blonde guy who made just about every teener’s hormones go out of their own system in the 90s, including myself. Seeing Nick again, somehow feels like its that decade again. That I’m 15 again, screaming, giggling, singing along to his songs out loud. Funny how Nick still has that effect on ladies, now mostly my age or older. He was very vibrant, very energetic, to the point that he seemed to have lost it. Haha, I guess thats really his performing style. The part where each of them has to pick one of the ladies in the audience drove us wild and envious. AJ and Brian both pick older women, Howie picked a fan with a placard that says “I ā¤ u howie d. pick me”, and Nick, well, really took his time out choosing carefully. He came up on stage with a model-like body, Sam Pinto kind of face, and I was like, what the hell? How did he ever find this girl in this crowd? Pretty impressive. Sighs. And the way they serenaded the ladies with “I’ll never break your heart”, with his teasing face inches from hers, almost kissing her. Holy shit. He looked so damn good. Though he got fatter (hehe), with wrinkles visible on his face, but god, he still looked so good. I kept taking snaps of him, but darn how he always faces the other side (where he got the girl), so I’ve no really decent shot of him. The other guys were amazing as well, and sang most of their more popular songs. 10,000 Promises was one of the less popular song they sang, and I loved how beautiful and powerful their voices blended on the bridge part. Quit playing games, Shape of my heart and Incomplete were the songs I’ve anticipated the most and they performed it well. Their entrance song, Larger than life, were collaborated with NKOTB with a different mix. And I love The Call song! We got it goin, get Ā down, all i have to give, as long as you love me, drowning, show me the meaning of being lonely, i want it that way.. They did not missed out on their hits. And of course, Backstreet’s back for the encore. Same thing went for NKOTB, they sang their hits though I couldn’t help feeling a bit sorry for them, BSB clearly owned the house that night. I also made it a point to rest after BSB performed and its NKOTB’s turn. I liked a couple of their songs, but honestly, I just felt they’re too old for this kind of stage. Dancing like a boyband and showing off their bodies. They should be doing more laid back stuff, more vocals, less activity, in my opinion. I mean, they’re mid 40s right? Maybe they’re still trying to keep up with BSB. Jordan knight stood out of course. Wow that I’ll be loving you forever number. Anyway, I’ve no idea that this is the last leg of their Asian Tour. Maybe that’s why theres goofing at the end, conversing and joking with each other like they’re in a rehearsal studio. Last perf ended with too much confetti the scene was moving. Manila must be so lucky tonight. Wonder when would I see another night like this again. But one thing I’m sure, I swear, I have aged 15 years younger tonight. š
As of this writing, I’ve been standing for the Metrodeal line for the past hour. You see, I bought a very good deal from them, 3,699 instead of 7,920 for a Lower Box seat for the NKOTBSB concert for today, June 3. I was just browsing thru sites yesterday when I spotted this deal. I knew that BSB was coming but I’ve no idea when. So I was a bit startled when I realized that the concert is scheduled for today. I mean, so much for having time to decide, right? The ticket is not cheap, even for half its price. But early this morning I’ve finally convinced Tabs to watch, since you’ve no idea how I was a huge sucker for this boyband back in highschool. I just couldn’t let this one pass me by, even though its not their solo concert. I wasn’t really an NKOTB fan, I was too young when they got really popular. But I have an idea of their music and have seen some of their perfomances together on youtube, and I can say, they blend well.
Going back to Metrodeal, I think they haven’t prepared for this well enough. Their guys here said they are unsure what time the tickets would come. Now what irritates me right this moment is how come they’re here, and not the tickets? They’ve propped up chairs and their laptop outside and we’ve been waiting for an hour and half already. They keep on apologizing but thats not what we need. We need the friggin tickets. I can see Tabs sitting on the side, looking very tired and restless, since he still came after duty. We even planned earlier to watch a movie first, since theres supposed to be a good 4 hours before the concert starts at 8. I feel like I’m a diehard fan still, what with coming here more than 4 hours before the concert, you know the idol stalker highschooler kind of type, only I’m not here to stalk or get in backstage, I’m just here to claim the tickets. I’m getting restless, too. Standing for a while can get really tiring, and I’m having back problems if I get really tired. Now until what time are we going to wait? I guess we just have to wait and see. Even Tabs predicted earlier that Metrodeal could end up having a problem, since they’ve had similar complaints with their deals recently. Maybe thats the price I have to pay for the discount I got. To top it off, it kinda looks like rain. I’m not sure if I would deal this way again. š¦
LSG’s Budokan concert is so near.Ā Ā A lot of japanese would surely be thrilled on June 1. Even Tryp is already there, posting various merchandises.. making fans like me who couldn’t go cringe with envy.
This is not the first time I wish I had a US Visa. š¦
I wish he will hold another concert again in December! Seoul is so much easier to reach than Japan. š
Just finished watching my first kdrama of the year, The King 2 Hearts. Ā Main reason for watching this drama, my favorite guy is in it. LEE SEUNG GI. Story of a South Korean King Lee Jae Ha (Lee Seung Gi) falling in love with a female North Korean Special Force Kim Hang Ah (Ha Ji Won). Plot is a bit ambitious, with 2 Koreas joining training together, reunification at the end due to North-South marriage. At first I couldn’t understand why the ratings continue to drop week after week. It had a promising story. Actors acting were splendid. It just sucked to have the same timeslot as the Rooftop Prince and Equator Man. I have seen RP’s first episode and thought it was good, until 4 Joseon guys appear at modern time at the end. What the?Ā Ā And I haven’t any slight interest on watching even a singleĀ episode of EM. UTW was in it. Period. I must admit though, some of K2H scenes were a bit dragging. And it was not exactly the type of storyline I was hoping for. Ā But still. The acting. It lived above my expectations. Of courseĀ most were veteran actors. And LSG! God how did you become so good. Hoping he could catch some awards later this year. It was not an easy character, I mean, he IS THE King! It was indeed an excellent stepping stone for more challenging roles to come! Bogoshipeo Jeonha! and Congratulations for an excellent drama!
PS. I took this DD poster photo at Incheon Intl Airport on my visit last spring.^^
