The Super Junior concert in Manila was the best day of my fangirl life so far. I got to see the boys up close -REALLY UP CLOSE- for three whole hours! Plus, I had my moments with my first Korean love, Donghae. <3 <3 <3

I’ve been dying to see Super Junior for four years now, that’s why I was not able to hold back my tears when we finally got inside Araneta and saw how close we were to the stage. I was like, “This isn’t real. This can’t be real. Super Junior’s really here and I’m gonna see Donghae in a few minutes!” The feeling of disbelief kept on bugging me, until I saw them for real! O_O

The whole concert experience was memorable. But of course, here are the moments that I love the most before, during, and after the concert.

BEFORE THE CONCERT.

+ THE LINE. My sister and I arrived at the Araneta Coliseum at about 11:30am, and the line for the SVIP Left Standing ticket holders was already long. We were lined up outside Araneta, in front of Shop Wise, and stood there for more than four hours under the scorching heat of the sun. Hello, tanghaling tapat, friends! )

While waiting, Ate and I met new fangirl friends, namely Sasha and Bea. After 2 hours, Gail and Cheska arrived. In order to kill time, we bought a lot of drinks and french fries at Shop Wise and Wendy’s, respectively, and just talked about anything under the sun – about Suju especially.

At 3:30pm, the organizers let us line up in front of the gates of the Coliseum. Yey, shade! While we were there, the fanclubs gave out Happy Birthday, Siwon! banners and stuff. The camera people and crew of GMA7 were also there. They interviewed us for the show Kapuso mo, Jessica Soho, so you guys better watch it next week! Sayang lang ‘cause Cheska wasn’t there anymore when we were interviewed, since she already went to the upper box line.

Finally, at 5:30pm, they opened the gates. Our spot, the SVIP left side, was not that crowded so we had a lot of room to move around to chase for our idols. It’s Lee Donghae for me, duh <3

DURING THE CONCERT.

+ The entrance. Okay, so the concert started with a video being played on the screen. One by one, the members were shown in the screen, making the crowd scream. I honestly thought that the audience behind us were screaming because the boys’ faces were being flashed on the screen. But when I turned around, I knew exactly why. My eyes widened when I saw Donghae himself standing on the stage behind me. So I immediately ran to his side of the stage and took fancams of him

+ DONGHAE’s WATERGUN. ENCORE. During the song “Wonder Boy,” the SuJu boys were just going around the stage and wetting each other using their huge water guns. They were also wetting the fans! Lucky for me, I was sooooooo near Donghae. When he saw that my t-shirt’s design was HIS FACE, he immediately pointed his water gun at me and started firing for 16 seconds!!! XD KYAAAAAAAAAAAA~ I can still remember it very clearly. He had this huge smile on his face and I can really see that he was having fun hitting his face on my shirt. XD It just sucks ‘cause I wasn’t able to capture it with my cam.

+ MORE WET MOMENTS. After Donghae showered me with his love for 16 seconds, Yesung suddenly came up behind my Hubby, pointed his gun AT ME, and fired. Thanks, Yesung, basang-basa na ako )

Another wet moment was when Sungmin was in front of me. He opened a mineral water bottle, drank a little, and then poured the remaining water on us. GAWD. Napakasaya, diba, Gail? :p

+ DANCING OUT. When Super Junior was performing “Dancing Out,” Donghae sat on the left side (edge) of the stage, and He WAS JUST 2-3 ft away from me! HE WAS THAT CLOSE! He looked really hot wearing that black sando. <3 He just sat there, smiling, clapping and waving for 36 seconds. After that, he stood up, went to the other side, and then returned to our side when the song was about to end (the last 42 seconds). I definitely won’t forget this performance, since ito na yung pinakamalapit ako kay Donghae! Or baka sa SHINING STAR performance yun? ^_^

+ POINT + HIP THRUST. Another Donghae moment was when they were performing their first or second song. Again, I was just 2-3 ft away from him. There was a moment when he pointed at me, winked, then did his sexy hip thrust. That simple gesture instantly killed me. XP

+ SHINING STAR. Donghae just loveeeeeeeeeeeed staying at the left side. During THE ENTIRE SONG, Donghae just sat there at the left side of the stage, waving with a ROSE clutched in his right hand. I honestly thought that he was gonna throw it, that’s why I kept all my uchiwa fans, banners and towels in my bag to free both of my hands from anything. But no, he did not. But it was still memorable since he was wearing a suit and he just sat there in front of me during the ENTIRE SONG. Man, that’s more than 4 minutes! HEAVEN.

+ CHU~<3. Donghae, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Ryeowook, and Heechul performed Chu~<3 by f(x). Haha, need I say more? XD

+ SORRY, SORRY. SIWON SHOWED HIS ABS. During the Sorry, Sorry performance, as always, I was focusing my cam on Donghae. I totally loved their white suit with Donghae showing a bit of his chest. XD I was sooo fixated with Donghae until I heard louder-than-usual screaming and screeches. Oh. Siwon took of his polo and half-stripped in the middle of the performance. My sister almost fainted when he did that. Bad, Siwon. Bad, bad. XD

+ GWAPO SILANG LAHAT. Sorry, Cheska, for saying that Eunhyuk’s not good-looking. Sorry, Leeteuk, nahiya bigla yung balat ko nung nakita kita. And hello, Henry! You are soooooo cute and hot at the same time! <3 Donghae, you’re still gorgeous, adorable, and charming, like always

AFTER THE CONCERT.

+ FRIENDS. I was not able to see Jane, Margie, and Shelley. But at least, we were able to meet new fangirl friends. Nice to meet you, Sasha, Bea, Kim, and Pia!

+ FANGOODS/TOUR GOODS. Ate and I got them all!

+ ASIA MYX. After the concert, the MYX staff was there to interview fans on how the concert went. Kami talaga ang favourite fangirls ng media, yung grupo ulit naming ang kinunan. So make sure you guys watch the Super Junior special of MYX! :p

Great! Done with Super Junior! I hope that they will come back soon. And when that time comes, I’ll be even more prepared. Hello to sunblock, Nemo gifts for Donghae, fansigns, etc. ^_^ Super Junior hwaiting~ Donghae, saranghaeyo! <3

I nearly cried when she said this in YM just today.  I miss her, really.  It’s been a tough second sem for me, so far. Not academically, but emotionally.

Ever since Kuya Louie and Levin moved out of the house, the Putootz household became different. Luigi distanced himself from us, Celina, of course, goes wherever Luigi goes. Chris has been coming home late again and Kenneth has been hanging out with Levin and the others, if not, then he is with Celina and Luigi.

Mother and Ate, Cheska and I have been observing this lately, and it’s not really not good. Cheska’s happy so I’m not bringing anything up with her. As for Ate, I know that she’s affected by all of this, but just doesn’t show it.  Same with me.

To be honest, I am hurting with everything that’s happening lately. I get hurt whenever I see Levin, Louie, and Tintin. I get even more hurt whenever I see them together. Whenever I look at them, I can’t help but wish to have them back again, eventhough we ALL know that it won’t happen again ever. I miss them. I miss the old times.

I was on the verge of crying during the UP Baguio Lighting Ceremony since I felt so alone. Surely there’s Cheska, but she’s with her other friends Gail and Bea.  Tickle, who was with us, joined TinTin, Levin, Louie, and others. Kenneth, Celina, and Luigi, on the other hand, went home early.  I don’t want to feel depressed so I texted Mel and April. I was fortunate enough that I, at least, have them eventhough they’re new friends.

Last year’s lighting ceremony, I shared the event with Louie, BJ, Gytha, and Jana — my UPIS friends.  This year, I shared it with no one. Haha. That’s so not me, right?

I don’t want to see them ever again. Too bad that UP Baguio is so small that I still end up seeing them. I want reconciliation. But that won’t still bring them back, nor the old times. I’m depressed and hurt. I miss them — my family in Baguio. We’re breaking apart. I’m breaking apart. I hate people leaving. Dammit.

Another disappointment was Kenneth. I had numerous heart to hearts with him. I shared to him everything that would explain why I am at this state right now. It’s just super disappointing that he doesn’t remember at all. Effin’ hell. If he wants to be with Louie and the others so much, then he should have left a long time ago. Bullshit.

Haaay.  I want to get out. I don’t want to stay here any longer.

I was touched by ALL the greetings. It made feel that I have a LOT of people care for me, even if we do not see each other often.

And just like now. My Kinder and Grade 1 bestfriend IM-ed me, and asked me if  I have seen her scrapblog entry. I said, “No.”  And then she gave me a link to her site.

There it was. A greeting for me. She mentioned some of her memorable moments of our Kinder days. I cried.  I cried when she mentioned about the chick that I used to own. I think that she’s the only person who knew about that pet of ours. She also mentioned a Jollibee plate that my mother gave to her during my Grade 1 birthday party. She still has it. And I was surprised because I didn’t know anything about it.

Those were memories from a long time ago, but still hold special places in our minds and hearts.

Thanks to my childhood bestfriend, Elizabeth C Loyola.

PasifiKStar is an institution when it comes to Final Fantasy VIII fanfics, I’ve always admired her works, and even read all of them! And it was surprising for me to know that she’s also a Filipina, however, she resides in the States and doesn’t know how to speak Tagalog. Hehe. Moonlight Shadow is another Filipina author whom I have met.  I had a lot of fun exchanging emails with her since we both strongly believe in destiny. That is why our stories have elements of destiny in it.

A month ago, I emailed the other authors in ff.net whom I made friends with.  I was so happy to receive a reply from them, and they even remember me! Haha.  One of my closest was Stardust Ray. She’s from the US, and also writes Squall-Rinoa fics    It’s so nice to hear from her again.   Also from Lil Doro! ^^,  She’s from Vietnam, I think

While I was writing to them, it made me remember the times when I was still so addicted in writing and reading fanfics. It was a wonderful experience for me to be addicted at that time, because that was when Squall-Rinoa fics were so hot. All of the most well-known authors of FF8 fics emerged at that time, and I was so grateful to be at the same time frame as they do.  Some of them even became my friends.

How I missed those days…  The authors who have been active when I was also active are now also inactive. Even PasifiKStar, heartillyangel, Lil Doro, and some others are now inactive.  I miss reading their works, I want new materials, and I want to write again.
Speaking of my writing, I want to erase all of my stories because they’re rubbish. I recently peeked at a chapter of one of my stories, and I really despised it. My writing was so elementary, so terrible, and immature. I was so 13 years old back then   I can’t believe I made Stardust Rayand Lil Doro read those rubbish. ^^

And so I want to comeback, I want to write again with my improved self. But when will I do it?

I miss the old days when I would just come home, turn on the PC, go to ff.net, check for new stories, read all the updates, review, email the author, period. I remember arriving at home at 6pm, already sit by the PC and fanfic mode up to 11pm.  When the clock strike at 11pm, that’s the only time when I will change my school uniform to house attire. ^^ Talk about addiction. ^^

Oh well, I have lots more to say about my fanfiction fondness 4-5 years ago. But I’m getting lazy. So, ja~

Last March 26, the first episode of the much-awaited second season of the ultimate reverse harem anime “La Corda D’Oro” was aired.  Sadly, it took the creators three long months to release the second episode. The second episode was aired last June 5 and was subbed as early as June 6. So, yeah, you guys can watch it at any anime site now.

In the first episode, a new character was introduced. His name is Aoi Kaji. He’s an ex-violin player who transferred to Seisou Academy eversince he saw Hino playing the violin in a park, in which he said that he was moved by her music. What a lame reason.  And since he’s new, I think that it’s quite understandable why the second episode’s focus is all about him – his past, thoughts about playing the instrument, insecurities, etc.

It’s actually amusing for me to know that he’s insecure with Len’s skill in playing the violin. Haha. But I think that it’s stupid for him to quit the violin because of that. Forgive me Kaji fans, I hate quitters. Other than that, I hated him when he decided to play with ensemble of hot guys + Fuyumi-chan. Why? Because his cheesiness towards Kaho sickened me. The line “Your music still resonates in my heart” sucks big time. Don’t blame it on me, though, I might have enjoyed it if it was Len who said it. But what the heck, it’s still cheesy. Hehe.

There are only very few scenes which I liked in this episode. I pretty much despise 75% of it, actually. Why? Because Len’s screen time is way too short! I don’t know, maybe I just got annoyed for waiting three long months then see Len for just five minutes? Hehe. It actually took them long enough to feature him. His first appearance was on the twelfth minute and 12 seconds, and it only lasted for two minutes.  Talk about SHORT.  And his succeeding appearances were even shorter than that. >_<  Now how could I possibly enjoy it? XD

What else?  Another thing I liked about this episode was that Ryoutarou Tsuchiura’s a hottie once again! ^_^  I was disappointed at the first episode because he somewhat lost his appeal. But what the heck, he’s hot again!  And his first screen time in this episode was a scene of him playing the soccer. Imagine that! Hot! XD

Honestly though, the only moments when I felt ”kilig” were when during the Kaji x Ryoutarou and Kaji x Len moments. Haha. XD  It actually crossed my mind if the series would be better if it wereyaoi instead. XP Okay, scratch that last part.

So all in all, I didn’t love the episode. But it’s still a much watch for all you reverse harem fans like me. XD

The screenshots were all taken from my friends blog. If you want more screenshots/pics of the bishies, just go to her site: shikimic.wordpress.com

Yoroshiku ^_^

After eating, we went to the venue for my debut.  It’s waaaaaaaaaay better than the one that my sister and I went to. It has a really nice ambience and huge.  Hehe.

This was released last April 17. I had this preordered but eventually cancelled it because I had a hard time figuring out how to give the money to Ate Rhodz. It’s a good thing that Ate Aira, my sister and I’s half-Nihonjin friend, went to Japan this summer.  As always, she asked me if I want anything there. I immediately asked for BoA’s BEST&USA albums and OLIVIA’s OLIVIA inspi’ REIRA (TRAPNEST) album. XDDD

The day before Ate Aira returned to the Philippines, she told me that I was lucky because in the music store near her house there, there was ONLY ONE limited edition of BoA’s albums left.  XDDD  But sadly, there’s no OLIVIA left.

Yatta! And now I have my copy in my hands! ^_^   The BEST&USA release has BoA’s 2nd JAPAN BEST (greatest hits collection) album  and  her US Debut album “BoA.”  I also have 2 bonus dvds for each album which I will be watching later.

Eventhough this 2nd Japan BEST album of BoA is inferior to her 1st BEST “Best of Soul,” this is still a good addition to my collection. Hehe.

Next incoming orders next week:

L’Arc~en~Ciel Live in Paris DVD

Yuna Ito “DREAM” album

^_^

BoA BEST&USA pics from www.BoAjjang.com  — I haven’t taken any pics of my CDs yet, so I grabbed from the site just to show how it looks like ^_^

Now, while watching those two go at each other last night, it made me remember some bittersweet moments from the past that I simply want to forget.  I felt depressed and so I distracted myself by reading a manga. It’s title is Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu (Today, Love Starts) and I just learned of its existence due to Eury-san’s blog.

I started reading it but then become too engrossed with it. That freakin’ manga had me traveling back to the past again — and I hated it. But what the heck, I ended up reading it up to the 10th chapter in less than 45 minutes @_@

Woot. I hate this feeling of regret and those what-might-have-been-if-I-….. thoughts  >_<

Okay, so ang finals namin sa Geog1 ay naging Food Fest.  So, 11am ay nagkita kami ni Patrick (aka Patty) sa Trinoma para bumili ng sushi at nachos na may ASIAN DIP.  Kasi Asian theme ang napunta samin.  Badtrip nga lang kasi for order pala ang 100 pcs na gusto namin. Haha.  Hindi kasi inorder ng mga pumunta dun the day before!!! Hmph. Haha.  So anyway, ang binili nalang namin ni Patty ay kung ano yung meron dun. Yung 40 + 35 +19 pcs ata. XDDD

Tapos ayun….  nagkainan kami sa school. Naging crush namin ni Julie yung mabait na cute from the other section XDDD  Nag-perform yung mga guys namin ng F4, tapos kami ni Julie eh sumayaw ng “Gee.”  Asian kung asian! Haha.

After ng kainan….  Tumuloy kami sa Red Box, Trinoma. XDDDD  Na-disappoint ako kasi onti lang ang East Asian songs. Ang pinaka-latest pa nila na nandun eh yung be with you. ni BoA @_@  But I sang it anyway. 

Enjoy ang party dun. Haha. Mejo mainit nga lang kasi nasira yung isang aircon XDDDD  Pero carry lang. Party kung party! Sumunod sina Sir, Ate Ney, Ate Veena, and friend nung mga bandang hapon. Sumunod si Ate Marionne at sumunod din si Nikki na umalis din agad @_@  Si Chet, as always, late na naman. Dumating xa nung after na namin kumanta @_@

Mamimiss ko Geog1. Haha XDDDD  HOGS FTW!!! XD
