Avril Lavigne, BlackStarTour ★

Howdy, Trololol. I've got a new blog lay-out, and it doesn't look really childish now. Hehe. :D Anyway, just got home from a treat of my Architect cousin. Hihi. :)) Thanks kuya Franz! :P

So going through, allow me to post for Avril Lavigne's Black Star Tour in Manila, Philippines last Feb. 16, 2012! :D Well, it was really unexpected that we would watch this concert though we really wanted to watch it last December, i think it was or since the time I knew Avril's gonna have her concert here again.

I've been a fan of her. Hihi. Actually, she's my very first fandom. My first love when it comes to music idols. I missed the chance of being in her crowd in her first 2 concert here. So I was very happy when we're able to watch her in her 3rd time here in the Philippines!

Actually, I already lose hope that we'd be able to watch her, because the concert day was Thursday, and that sucks big time! LOL. Every Thursday we have design class 4 pm to 9 pm, so it was really hard to go there instantly. But the real story behind my sudden urge of going to her concert on the day itself was because of my classmate, Greta. LOL. :)) If it wasn't for her text message that she'd be given money to go on the day itself, I wouldn't convince my sis to go there too. My sis is also an avid fan of Avril.

Rushing to go home from Arkimate's house, ( btw, I had to overnight because of our major plate and I only have an hour of sleep) I message my sis to tell our Mom to allow us to go. :)) When I get home, I stated my business first, hihi. Luckily, I think my mother's in a good mood, she allowed us and gave money after a few blahs, blah, blahs, blahs. :)) But during this time, I'm still having a second thought if we're gonna make it coz I still have class.


After hours of waiting and thinking and wishing that our professor would allow us to leave the school early, it rained. Haha. And after I prepared for school and all my stuffs, the rain brought me a very great news. Guess whut!!? "CLASSES ARE SUSPENDED BEYOND 3PM". This simply means we could go!! OH YEAH! That moment of glory. :P I changed my uniform to concert get up. lol. and we go there quickly as possible as we can to buy the ticket.

We were on the upper box a, first row but on the side of the stage. The area where we were is quite alright tho. :) Somedaydream was the front act. I never really like him, as he was being called the 'Owl City of the Philippines', you know how I love OWL CITY that I don't want him to be compared to SD. Sorry but yeah I'm kinda mean. :)) In fairness, his live voice is the same as his recorded one. For that, I gave him a enough appreciation but never will he be the Owl City of the Philippines. (That's for my own opinion, I am not a HATER but I AM CERTAINLY NOT A FAN.) lols :))


Moving on, AVRIL LAVIGNE is still the Avril I knew, her voice, her smile, herself is Avril Lavigne, I can't believe I am one in the crowd singing almost all the songs. Btw, she mostly sang songs from previous albums and 2 or 3 from her latest album. I can't deny, the Avril fan in me is still there. :) Whooaa, a rocking night for me. Hope to watch her again if she'll ever come back. Well I believe so. She looks really happy to be back in Manila. :D

*I have some fancams but I'm lazy to upload. Sorry.

That's it for the Black Star Tour! I'm quite sleepy. I still need a lot of Architectural plates to do. Haven't done a single thing yet. LOL. :)) Procrastinator, I AM. :))

Ninja Stalking

Wassup! We 2NE1! :)

LOL. That was how 2NE1 introduced themselves to anyone! :P Anyway, Why I blogged today, after so many months, is because of my Ninja Stalking of 2NE1 in their last day of stay from their 5 day vacation here in the Philippines.

Good Morning.

So the day started like, I am not really on my senses to go to the NAIA Terminal 3 because I only had 2 hours of sleep and I haven't received any message from my friend that we are certainly going to the airport. But we planned our stalking 3 days before. Then suddenly when I'm about to convince myself that we're really not stalking my friend message me that we're going (she just woke up). It was quite late and we thought we're not gonna make it to the airport. Good thing, their flight was delayed for an hour.

Howdy NAIA Terminal 3!

It was my first time to commute to NAIA. (Usually, we had our car to drive there). Lol So, we had to ask every guard that's on our way to tell us the deets on how to go there. Luckily, we made it! We rode the FREE Shuttle to Terminal 3. LOL. Mind you, it's FREE but it's really not! No, I mean we had it for FREE, we didn't pay. It's not our fault since they didn't made us pay and we we're really surprised that even after we get off the shuttle no one reminded us the 20php payment for it. :)) Going through, I had to throw my cutter, I forgot it was in my pencil case. We threw it so there'll be no more fuss while entering the terminal.

In the terminal, there we saw a lot of BlackJacks (2NE1's fans) inside and they were all lined up so we lined up as well to show we are not crazy fans. But when 2ne1 was making their way out to their van to Maxims Hotel. Everyone, started running towards the girls, wanting to have their albums, mags and other stuffs to be signed. That made CL and Bom trapped for a while. Actually, I also run towards CL to have my album signed. (But didn't get the chance to, a lot of fans gathered around her, I don't want to blocked their way.) And I was literally at Bom's back while she was signing some. (Again, wasn't able to hand her my album.) I could really touch her but manage to control myself not to. I might startle her. :)) I saw CL, Bom and Dara there but not Minzy. :(

To Maxims, Resorts World.

After terminal 3, we walked to the Resorts World. I am actually amazed of the how the other BlackJacks lead the way to RW. We actually jaywalked, cross the planters and bravely cross the main road.

Hoping we'll be able to see them in the lobby of the hotel, we waited. But after an hour, someone said 2NE1 were already in their room.

Well it was true. So me and my friend just decided to eat. After eating we just went up and down, going to the restroom and back to the game zoo and anywhere we could, with hopes of seeing 2NE1 strolling also in the mall.

Elevator goes up and down.

My friend and I decided to take the elevator at the Maxims. At first we took the escalator, getting curious of what the hotel looks like and of course, a little of trying to see 2NE1. We took the elevator at the 3rd floor to 5th floor and then people who were checked in, in the hotel entered the elevator to 8th floor and we also got off on the 8th floor.

We stayed there for a while then finally decided to go down. When we're on the elevator, it opened on the 7th floor. I saw a girl signing something she's with men in black suits. They entered the elevator. To our surprised, it was Dara and her body guards!! Me and my friend tried to act as if we are not fans. Then I pulled out my album and a pentel pen then had the guts of finally speaking, "Dara, I'm a fan." Then I handed my album to her. Then I said, "Thank You so much". She smiled and get off at the 6th floor. LOL. Imagine how fast that thing was?

We stayed at the elevator and get off at the 2nd floor. And that's when I started trembling and my heart skip a beat. We were so happy. It was really unexpected. Dara is really pretty and so kind! :) We really couldn't believe that it happened. LOL. We were actually calm when we get off and not show it to other BlackJacks waiting on the 2nd floor. It's not selfishness but I just don't want to make them so excited that might make them go up and take the elevator. It's for Dara. :) Hehe.

Waiting Hours.

This part of my story is actually the most tiring to do. LOL. Waiting. We killed time in the GameZoo, restrooms, and on the 2nd Floor lobby. We almost sleep in the lobby there. LOL. We wait and wait and wait and wait. and we actually tried to take elevator again but failed and then we wait and wait and wait. LOL. Did I mention we waited? :))

Goodbye 2NE1!

After hours of waiting. It's time for our ladies to wave goodbye. As their luggage were brought down the main lobby, everyone's anticipation of seeing 2NE1 rose up! Every time the elevator would open. They would get ready. lol. Count me in. :))

Then finally, they went down and go straight to their van. I am just inches away from the girls. I could really touch them. But I did not. I don't know what to do. LOL Bom led the way, then CL then Minzy. I didn't saw Dara going out or am I just blind by their beauty? LOL Someone said that Dara is behind CL before Minzy but I really didn't see her. LOL fail me. :))

We didn't follow them to NAIA Terminal 1. I am so busted and my mom is going to kill me coz it's really late. LOL. :))

Anyway, It was indeed a good shot for a first time stalker like me. Hehe. I am really happy. All the waiting was paid off! I just wish 2NE1 would come back here for Nolza Philippines! Yey! HWAITING! :)

*ooppssie, sorry I don't have pictures of them or fancams. I believe they need privacy. hihi. ciaoo people Till next stalking. :)

A Night So Surreal

At this moment, I still feel the amazing crowd last night. I am so happy that I got a lot of fellow owls around me singing to Owl City's song. I am really blown away. I am so overwhelmed of how Adam smiled and said, " MANILA!!! I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!!".

Owl City Live in Manila 2011 is the BEST CONCERT I ever had. Even though the whole day was tiring and I waited hours before the concert in the venue, it was all worth it. I met a lot of hoot owls and had fun with my Owl City PH family. The feeling of finally meeting ADAM YOUNG after all those years. I am really blessed to know such a great Artist.

Actually, the day before the concert,I was crying. I didn't won the Meet and Greet pass for Owl City. But an Angel gave me hope in meeting Adam. (Thank you so much for giving me the chance, Grace Co) I never thought that I would be able to meet him.

I was so speechless when I saw him. Adam is so lovely.

Fortunately, I had the guts while trembling and ask him, "Can I hug you?"and he replied smiling, "Oh, yeah, Sure!" and I hug him. It lasted for only seconds but that is PRICELESS! I can't explain the feeling after that, I didn't even know how I smiled when the photographer took our shot. Sadly, I wasn't able to give him my little gift for him or ask for an autograph. Seriously, I can't properly think at that moment but yeah, hugging him is already the best thing that happened and I will surely treasure it. :D

During the concert I was really in front of the stage and maybe in the center. Moshpit! Whooohooo. We were the first 3 people who entered the VIP area. (Me, Hanako and Reine) We were clinging on to the bar that separates us 1meter (i think) apart from the stage. We stand for an hour and a half until Owl City started the Magical show ever! I was really enthralled from the start up to the point they have to leave the stage. The fans we're so cool as we sang to every song he played. I'm sure he love us too. :D I will wait for that, "See you soon", of Adam. :) I promised to be in that crowd again. ♥

Hmm, but I really hope the fan art that we threw on the stage was handed to him. I'm not really sure if he saw that, I am really wishing tho. Anyway, I am really thankful for all the people I'm with in this fandom. I am so grateful that I met you OWLS. The whole day is a day to be remembered forever as I will forever hoot and support Adam Young and Owl City with all my heart. :)

I'll keep this simple.

A night so surreal. An amazing crowd. Unexplainable feeling. An enchanting meet up. A hug worth the years. Seconds to treasure a lifetime. ADAM IS SO OWLSOME!

I LOVE YOU ADAM YOUNG!

I just can't contain it. :D

Howdy!!! Uhmmm. I just can't sleep that's why I decided to blog. Well, I see some dust in my blog hehehe Sorry I can't update everyday or every other day or every week. I just update when my mood's telling me so. But I don't have anything to say except for the upcoming (2 days left , yey!) OWL CITY LIVE IN MANILA concert. :)) Hihi.

So, I'm just so lucky to watch him again live. Adam Young is the coolest musician I have ever known. :) Yeah, seriously. His music makes me dance and party, sometimes cry and reminisce on certain things but what I like about his music is that I use it to calm myself. Hihi. As what hoot owls says, "Keep Calm and Listen to Owl City". That's what I usually do. :) ADAM RANDAL YOUNG I so LOVE YOU. :))

And because I really, really want to meet him and personally say thank you to him, I want to have the Meet and Greet pass! Please, I'm joining the contest and the raffle of astroplus, and even bought my 2nd copy of 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' to join the promo. :) I am so desperate in meeting Adam Young and the whole gang! :) PLEASSSSE! Dear GOD, you're my only north star! :P Let me win this, let me have the m&g pass. :')

So this was the official poster (i think! :P) of the event. Teeeehheeee. I'm so excited. Weeeee~ I'm happy to be part of the Owl City Philippines. I love them. They are truly hoot owls I've met. Hihi. ♥ And thank you so much to the one who introduced Hot Air Balloon to me that made me love Owl City.. :)

That is my excitement about the Owl City Concert. :)

Hmmmm, talking about my life? I'd keep it short nalang. :P I passed my 3rd year 1st sem in college. And I'm still GOOD STANDING (well, it only means that I don't have to pay my tuition fees, I'm smart ah, lol just kidding.) Hehe and I'm now on to our 6th Architectural design. I'm so happy, at least I survive 5 designs. :3

But waaaaayyyyy to gooooo! Until I finally be an Architect. I'm looking forward to it. Having my License, having projects, big projects (i'm a dreamer, please excuse me :P) and having a lot of money! (lol, who wouldn't want?). But on to the real world, I just want to prove to myself that I could be one, and I could do it even though I'm not that good in this field, but I'm learning (so if you want an architect call me. lol) Hohohoo. >:)

My Korean Fandom? Uhmmm. Well, next time I'm quite busy with my OWLING. :P Don't get me wrong korean fandom still runs through my veins. KEkeke. Anneyong! :P

Uhmm, that's it. I still can't sleep but I can't talk much. I'm kinda bored and i'm just sneaking. Hehehe. I still can't post my poems here. I am too lazy eh. When I feel it, I'll try'na do it. :P Just check my old poems (they're really old haha :D) in DeviantArt, I got an account but I don't open it anymore. yeah yea yah. :P Sorry for the random words and expressions, you know, I can't contain it anymoreeeee! :))))

BTW, I really don't know if those people posting in my tagboard are people LOL. I mean, are they not spammers or viruses? LOL. Well, thank you for those people who really do visit my blog. Let me know how you think of my blog. (Be sure to talk in English, or else I'd be speaking alien language and if you're an alien, sorry but i'm from another planet so please use google translate. hoho) We can be friends, I don't bite don't worry. :))

O Ciaooo people. :3

The Party ♥ ♪ ♫ ♠

Can't Nobody hold us down~ Oh oh oh!

I really don't know how to start this post! yey!. So obviously, I can't get over of 2NE1 and I want MORRREEE!! It's about "The Party" 2NE1 live in Manila!!! I've been waiting long for this moment! And Finally! It happened last June 4, 2011 at the Araneta Coliseum! :)

The Ticket and the Poster. :)

When the first time I heard of 2NE1 coming to the Philippines, I was like, "OHMYGASSSSHH", I really want to see them live and I would die if I missed the chance. and I'm praying everyday that my mom would gave me money to buy the tickets (I can't save money for that short period of time) so while the days are heading to the day when the tickets are out, I've been a very good girl. Hoho. And luckily, my mom rewarded me with 3k to buy the ticket.

We got the tickets for the show last May 7, 2011. My friend and I rushed to the nearest SM Ticketnet outlet to get a good seat. :) And I got the poster when I bought the First Mini Album of 2ne1 in Astroplus. :P I want to have the poster so bad that's why I bought the Album with no hesitation. Hoho.

Blackjacks' Day! ♥♠ :P

June 4, 2011 is one of the most memorable day for all the Pinoy Blackjacks because our dearest girls CL, BOM, DARA, MINZY are having their show in Manila! :)

I started the day at about 5 in the morning. I can't sleep that night because I'm very excited. (I actually slept at 2:30 am) I packed my things, I don't know what to bring that day but I bought the essentials, like digicam , money to buy kpop goodies specially 2ne1 and of course the tickets. I left the house at 9am. Hoho :)) We really want to be there early because of "The Fiesta". :) We were there at about 10:00 and some of the booths weren't still open so we waited there.

The reason why we were so early is because we want to get a shirt from WeLoveDara and OhDara. And going there that early was paid off when we got the shirt. Oho!! We love it so much! Yay! That was the shirt! The design was so cute! :P We were so lucky to have the shirt because it's only limited and it's all for free!!! Big Thanks!! Kamsamhanida! :P

We wore the shirt during the concert! :) (Oh yea, don't mind the light sticks we bought. LOL. that was the only light stick we could afford. I'll save up for the official one!)

This were the other goodies I bought. :) I love them all because they're all 2NE1! Hoho! :P

The Party: The Front Acts!

After 9 hours of waiting it started. We sat on our designated seats and we made friends both right and left sides. Hoho, but fail, we didn't exchanges names. :P and I thought it was a small crowd because tickets are still on sale on the day of the concert but I'm totally wrong. There was a huge crowd waiting for 2ne1 and everyone got their light sticks. :) When the Philippine Anthem was played, I know everyone's anticipated. We were so ready to start "The Party"! So i'll be stating the events as it was stored in my memory. Bianhae, if some details are wrong. Hehe.

First performer was the 'Techy Romantics', i don't really know them though, but

they did start the show pretty good and the 2NE1 fans treated them well. :) After that it was 'Christian Bautista', as usual he melted the hearts of the fans. ♥ Then the crowd gone wild when we heard the opening of Fire whoooa, everyone thought it was Dara that's coming out of the stage but it was 'Giselle Sanchez'. Haha. :)) She dressed as Dara Park and even called herself 'Luneta Park'. She was really bringing laughs to us. :)

After that she introduced 'The Bloomfields.' ( the picture at the right) I also don't know them but at least I know one of their songs. Hehe :) After their performance, Giselle show up giving tickets to those lucky fans in the VIP and VVIP area. After that she then introduced 'Calla Lily'.

Calla Lily was great. :) I could sing along to their songs. I used to love that band. Hoho. You know, what makes Calla Lily so cool? it's when the rockstar Kean turned into Dara's Fanboy wearing shirts with, "I ♥ Dara". So cute. :) He even appreciated the blackjacks

for being nice fans to them as well. There was a point where he asked the crews in araneta to turn off all the lights and even the spotlight focusing their band and let us raised our hands with light sticks. Whoaa, the crowd was so cute with different colors of light sticks. The picture at the left shows the crowd's colorful light sticks. :) After the Calla lily, it was the Philippine All Stars turned to hit the stage with their dancing skills. They're so good! No wonder why they deserve their title. :)

The Party: Main Event!

So ok! after all the front acts. This is it! We stood up together with the crowd as we were chanting, "2-N-E-1! 2-N-E-1!" I was also screaming their names! "CL!, BOM!, DARA! MINZY!" Hoping they'll hear it! And when they appeared on the stage and started 'Fire'. I was jumping, singing to their korean songs, screaming to the top of my lungs and waving my light sticks and dancing to every beat. I don't care if I won't have any voice after the show.

After the 'Fire' was 'Go Away'. It made me jump and groove more! Followed by 'Please Don't Go' because it's CL and Minzy's turn, and I love that song. :P Next is 'Lonely', their recent single which i've been playing since its released. After that was Dara's solo performance of 'In or Out'. She's really cute while singing this. What a lovely voice! :) It was then followed by their Chart topping, 'Can't Nobody'.

They left the stage. And I was chanting 'MORE' but the crowd seems that they knew and expected that 2NE1 will perform 'I don't care'. We all know that too. But I kept on screaming 'more' because it's what artist usually do. They'll leave the stage then wants the fans to scream more! thenn they'll do the encore. hoho.. (i'm just doing my part.) Then after those moment we heard CL asking "Do you guys wants some more?" and "I want to hear your screams!". Whoaa, even CL's voice is so fieerrrrce!! Then they performed 'Clap Your Hands' then 'I Don't Care' for encore! Then they left the stage. But that was the part were the whole Araneta were chanting, "We want more" and it took minutes for fans just to realize the party has just ended.

THAT WAS AN AWESOME NIGHT! I really can't believe that those four fierce, fresh, funky and funny girl group was performing live in front of me. The crowd's full of energy from the beginning of 2NE1's performance up to the end. :)) 2NE1 must have their full concert here in Philipines, and I'll be sure to be in that crowd. I guess everyone in the Araneta is just another fan like me who had experienced the feelings of excitement, happiness and enjoyment while jumping, singing, dancing, grooving, cheering, chanting with our dearest 2-N-E-1! :D

(BTW, you can click the songs i've mentioned above they're linked to my very very short fancams. Hoho. The reason why it's short is because my cam don't have enough memory and that's really fail, i've got no time to delete. But the main reason for the short fancams and little pictures is that I want to enjoy the moment and party hard! XD)

so ciaoooo~ ♥ till the next post!
