What an Experience - Super Junior Super Show 2 live in Manila

Another post due.. T__T

I have been really busy with work this week, has to resolve some mid-range issues, business meeting with clients, and trying everything I can to finish up all my pending works. Unfortunately, I wasn't able today so I'll be working overtime tomorrow at the office.

Okay so last Saturday night was awesome! great! one heck of a memorable night for me and the rest of the Elfs. I still couldn't believe that it will be a week tomorrow since I've last seen Super Junior.. At first I though it was only me but while tuning in to twitter, almost everybody misses them and would want them back ASAP! ^^ I'm still getting goosebumps while watching their pics and vids thinking I was really there and it's overwhelming to be a part of a very great production especially super Junior is my fave kpop group. :)

April 9, I had to prepare everything I need to bring to Manila. While I was home at lunch, I was browsing thru some posts and spotted their pics while arriving at NAIA 1. That's the start of my heart thumping faster and getting cold hands, I thought this is really it! Tomorrow they will be right in front of me!

April 10, check in to the hotel. When we got there, so many fans are in lobby since they will be having their press con at Edsa Shang. Had to take lunch and thanks to Caren's Dolfenal my headache was gone before I know it. Strolling at Megamall for awhile then head back to the hotel to freshen up and get ready to rock Araneta. We just ride the MRT and when we got there, the place is already jam packed with fans lining up. I was able to meet Leigh, Pia, Jowella to get some of the items I ordered and the chibis I sponsored. We had to separate with Nicky & Caren since we don't have the same section, bought a few water to relax the throat after shouting and singing out loud then headed to the door that will lead us to the section 205. It took time for people to settle down, I've read a post that only 8,000 tickets were sold so there's a remaining 2000 available seats that time. Seated front row, so when the clock strikes 8 the lights were turned off the one by one they appeared. I wasn't expecting it to be like that but guess who stand right in front of me? DONGHAE - the one I dream about a few days back (Heechul was also in that dream). Then everything came right after another, eyes can't dare to blink a second, lips was smiling all the time. I was kinda busy in texting Abby for updates as well as taking pics but still was able to concentrate with the show. I couldn't miss not taking a pic there (pics to follow since this entry is already long). I kept thinking I don't want it to end but after 3 hours after their encore, they said goodbye. :( I was sad and don't really want to go back to the hotel but we have to take dinner so we had to leave. Got my chibis, had dinner then went back to the hotel to rest. Took few shots at the lobby, pool area, tweeting and checking for updates then I hit the sack. I was really hoping to see them at the hotel but I guess it wasn't the right time.

April 11, had breakfast at HEAT. Went out to buy materials to pack the chibi and when we were about to go out, we saw Happee, Vernon and some Korean Staff preparing for check out so by that time I know we wouldn't be able to see them off. :(  So after we checked out, we stayed at Shangrila Plaza for lunch in Tokyo Tokyo, few strolls and buy some things to bring back to Cebu then went straight ahead to NAIA 3. When we got there it was still early and were informed that our flight is delayed by an hour, in most cases we do experience this with Cebu Pacific. Well, it didn't matter to me much since they accepted the size of the chibi for check in, not until I found out there's no wifi! Boring wait at the airport is no good, we can't walk around coz we're already tired. On board the plane, I couldn't stop thinking about the concert and how I love "beautiful" Donghae's composed song which he performed with Eunhyuk. I got all teary-eyed so I decided to close my eyes and sleep instead of thinking and saddening myself. Landed at 8pm then headed straight home, I was so tired and sleepy so I wasn't able to go online that long. 

A more detailed entry on the concert will be followed soon.. :)

Up until now I still can't get over the concert and I just keep on listening to their songs. 

I guess this is the proof that I'm a true-blue Suju fan, even at the office I just can't stop spazzing about it and had to encourage my officemates to listen to their songs. Even posted up pictures right inf ront of my monitor. lol :)

Btw, I wasn't able to fully read my book on happiness and I guess I couldn't join the havaianas contest. April will soon end and I have not had an entry, will see if I can make it. Keeping my fingers crossed XD

Countdown to Super Show 2 in Manila

This post is way too delayed already, I just find the time now to blog it all up since tomorrow will be a holiday.. XD

Super Junior Super Show 2 - the much anticipated concert for us Elfs or should I say Kpop fans. ^^ It will be held on April 10, 2010 at Araneta Coliseum, this will be the last stop for their Super Show 2 Concert. They have done it in Korea, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and now here in our very own country. 9 more days to go and it’s getting the fans or should I say “us” more and more excited to watch them perform live.

*pauses*

I learned about this last January, when I’m doing my usual check on Facebook then I saw Happee’s post. It took me an hour to decide since the concert will be held in Manila, but I was thinking *WTH! I must watch them; it’s their first concert here!! Without even knowing who I’ll be watching it with and if I’m allowed to go, I just pm’ed Happee to reserve me 2 tickets. It took two weeks I think before I got confirmed for SVIP Seated – Lower Box for Araneta’s seating arrangement, which is the nearest seat to the boys. I would have gone for SVIP Standing or Upper Box A if I wasn’t confirmed, but I was already happy with that.

To make the story short, I was able to get good seats for me and Jufang and that was already enough. :) Done my part with that and thanks to all those who helped me too.  And the good news is they made the stage bigger and closer to svip seated on the sides, more closer glimpse of the boys.. hihi 

By the way, I posted a picture of our tickets on my previous blog but I need to update it with the exchanged tickets. :) I’m already happy and excited for the day to come and while waiting I also help with Suju Mad’s projects, I think that’s the least that I can do since I’m here in Cebu. Also, last Sunday, March 28 – there was a Merchandise Sale Event in Alphaland Southgate Mall in Makati City. There were plenty of VERY NICE Kpop items that were sold that day, I feel envious seeing pictures posted by some attendees. SVIP ticket holders would get a chance to exchanged their tickets for better seats and some tickets for that area that weren't claimed was also sold that time. 

While Smart Bro gave out FREE Gen Ad tickets for those who plan to file for retention of their Smart Bro’s Postpaid Account. See the benefits of being there, lucky to them.. :) Thanks to Jufang's Postpaid subscription, Nicky was able to get 2 free tickets! Nic, you should definitely treat us to dinner after the concert.. hehe

Lastly, we are inviting those who haven’t bought tickets to buy already. There are still tickets available for the show, you may reserve online or go to the nearest tickenet outlet. Let us all give them a full house so that they would want to come back and perform again; I know you would want to have Super Show 3 here right? :p So don’t let this chance passes you by, remember it’s their first concert in the Philippines. For those who have tickets, please invite more friends to watch XD or help spread the word around. I’ve seen how us fans are united because of this concert and let’s all continue to do that so that they will enjoy their stay here..

So…

A shout out to Pulp Live Productions for making it possible here, I know how hard you have been working for this event and I’m sure it will really pay off in the end. Thanks to Happee, Vernon, Apple, Rizza, Faith, Lucky, Luanne, Lerma, Joy and the rest of the team. Without you this wouldn’t be possible. :D

 

Happiness Pt. 1

Happiness.. 

I’ve been hearing a lot about it here and there for quite some time now; I’ve even felt it at times when something good happens. Well now, I need to organize my thoughts about what it really is and how it is felt by others. Feel free to share your experiences here also that way I could slowly analyze its impact on us. 

For me, even the smallest thing or effort will already make me happy, especially when something good comes unexpectedly whether you’re the one doing the deed or the other way around. It’s not just a good feeling, but the level achieved when we felt it is really wonderful. I know there are a lot of factors that would let us cross path with the feeling of being happy, yes! More than what you think there is. If I have to enumerate all of it then it will took me a day to finish this entry, but you already know what I mean. I believe that everybody feels it, even the tiniest bit of happiness unless you’re a born KJ.. lol no seriously, I think even recluse people (no offense to them) will be able to experience that feeling at some point in their lives. I couldn’t imagine someone being able to live life without feeling it. Could you? Even mean people get to be happy when they make other people feel terrible.

Happy > Good Mood, while Good Mood > Happy. Puzzling? I don’t think so, it’s really simple just don’t read it mathematically, ayt? Whichever way it may be, they will always be linked to one another. Lately, I have been contemplating on myself about this but still couldn’t get the words out, is it that hard? Or am I just too drained and exhausted to think? I’ve been doing quite a number of things both at home and at the office so when I have my free time; it usually goes down to the internet or tv. And without me focusing on this matter, not much will be shared.

Anyway, I know I still have time but I must make a move as early as now. Time has already been wasted and I know I will be busier this coming summer. So to be able to conclude my analysis, I should read my book first. I bought it a few years way back; the title is “The Discovery of Happiness”. It’s around ¾ inch thick so it may take some time but I promise to finish it before I fly to Manila for the concert. That way I may be able to evaluate and understand my feelings when I see Super Junior.. hehe XD

Expect a part two of this entry, that’s where I will be sharing my findings, and conclusion on this matter. But don’t expect too much, as I’m not a remarkable writer or what.  I will just be sharing my thoughts still.. 

Meling just texted me earlier today and I would like to send out my 

Congratulations to Kuya Raymund and Mia for having a new angel in their family, it’s a baby girl named Amanda.

Today we watched - Alice in Wonderland

Started the day early when boss texted me I need to send the plans for a meeting. At least that text message woke me up so I have to get my body up early to do everything since we need to be at Ayala before 1:55pm or else our reservation from sureseats will be cancelled. Gone to the office to get the files then bought lunch for me and Josefi (Joei's screen name) hehe Then came home and washed my clothes, gave Joei his lunch and had mine too. While getting ready waiting for Jufang, had to change clothes and check updates on facebook. 

We didn't stay long there, 45 minutes of waiting before the show then few rounds at the mall to look for a gift. We bought dinner and then came home, so many things to do actually. I'm beginning to think that I must not waste every minute and now I must be off working on the details for the CRITH project. But before doing that, I would love to share my thoughts on the movie "Alice in Wonderland".

It's actually a very nice movie but it isn't that long to watch. Alice is played by Mia Wasikowska, when she turned 19 years old she returns to Wonderland after following the white rabbit into the woods and she fell into a hole on the trunk of a tree. She then met Tweedledee and Tweedledum (the twins), Dormouse, Blue Caterpillar, where all of them take a look at the scroll that tells about their future. They were searching for the right Alice that was sketched on the scroll, because that Alice would be the one to save all of them. Then she met the Mad Hatter played by the very great Johnny Depp, he's really good with this kind of roles. :D Right after that she also met Stayne, Red Queen with Big Head (a cutie!) and the White Queen. The sketch on the scroll came true so you can already imagine what happened. By the way before she went to follow white rabbit, the son of the lord proposed to her in front of many people but when she got back after fighting with Jabberwocky she declined the proposal but instead of becoming the daughter-in-law of the lord, she became an apprentice to his business. 

 We didn't watch the 3D version so I really don't know the difference.. Also I so love the Red Queen's attitude! hehe I'm not mean, but I really love the character compared to the White Queen - she's just plain nice.. The other one is also the cat! Color combination looks good compared to the cartoon version.. 

 

Meet the Red Queen!

See the color of the cat here, really nice... :D

I also love the green eyes of the Mad Hatter! hehe

I'm quite satisfied with the movie, no wonder I've been ranting about watching the movie.. hehe ^^,

Super Junior M – Super Girl

Since Super Junior will be coming to town, the Super Junior Fever is HUGE! I do mean it, you can see people talking about it on facebook and some are busy preparing for the concert. There are also several events that will be held prior to the concert while there are some fans who are living in Manila that would really take the risk and expense to stay at Edsa Shang hoping to be close to the boys.. ^^ Imagine spending 8,000++ a night, well.. we have our excuse since we will be flying from Cebu so we really need a place to stay in for the night after the concert. :P Plus, Pulp Productions partnered with Edsa Shang to give a group discount for those who will be staying at the hotel just for the concert (good news for us!).

Okay, now I’m sharing the only CD I got *for now! :P It’s Super Junior M’s Super Girl Album. Super Junior M (Mandarin) is one of the sub-groups of Super Junior. Consist of Hangeng (leader), Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, and additional 2 members Henry and Zhou Mi. They are more gear towards the Chinese fans especially in China since they do produce songs in Chinese lyrics. They also do commercial ads for Pepsi. This is their 2nd album and it became number one here in the Philippines. ^^, Major fan support! Hehe

I got this online, I was thinking that if I’m gonna get their album might as well look for the one with their autographs so that it will really be something rare.  Luckily I found one online and the seller is super nice to me, I was able to get it thru layaway since it cost much more than the usual album. HAPPY HAPPY MAU MAU when I claimed it at the post office. By the way, I bought the CD together with an autographed poster. It’s gonna make my collection fabulous! XD I'm just starting  though.. hihi

Here are a few shots of their album:

 

  

 

  

  

 

I missed to take a Pic of Henry's Autograph on the booklet.. Will just update it

Anyway, the album consists of 5 songs:

Super Girl

Blue Tomorrow

Confession

Only U

You & Me

You can buy the album online at yesasia or in local music stores here in the Philippines.
I was even planning to buy the Super Show 2 album just in case I will be seeing them; I might be able to have it signed by them personally. Wishful thinking! Lol

Minutes ago, I would like to make a shout out greeting to my dad!! :D

He’s celebrating his birthday and he’s not in Cebu.. 

Hopefully you’ll get home soon so that we can have another family dinner out.

Take good care of yourself especially when it comes to your safety and health.

We love you!!

Shopping Time! - ...because of Super Junior, I got these...

Last February 20 was supposed to be the claiming date of our Super Junior Super Show tickets in SM ticketnet but because of the event in Manila it was moved to the 22nd. We only knew about that early morning on the 22nd so since Saturday until Monday I have been to SM with Caren & Jufang to constantly check if we could already claim our tickets.

The time and effort for us to be there already cost us, but for the sake of super junior what the heck! Hehe At least we will be securing it first so that when it’s confirmed we will be able to book our flights and reserve a room for out hotel. By the way, Caren just reserved our room in Edsa Shang this morning! Yey! Same hotel as them, hopefully our rooms are close to their rooms. There will be lots and lots of picture taking by then.. hehe

Take a peek into our tickets!

 

Even if we were transferred to a different section, at least we got the front row seats.

Okay, on-topic now.. While waiting and waiting, I grew tired. So to dissipate my boredom, I shopped! I once told myself last January not to spend off my money so that I could spend it for the event but that time I just feel I need to. I’ve been disappointed a few times on this matter and I believe that splurging a bit will not hurt my wallet much.

So while I was with Caren, we went to Book Sale. It’s located at the Lower Ground Floor of SM, you can actually find good books and magazines at a low price. I was trying to look for good titles but what caught my eye isn’t related to Architecture, but a “manga”. I was surprise to see it there, but I’m happy to have found it because it’s almost 70% off the selling price. It’s the 2^nd book of Pita Ten, and I’m hoping to look for more. Maybe in my upcoming blogs I will be sharing some points about this manga, it just involves an angel, a devil, and little boy.

 

On the Cover is Shia – the devil.

  too cute to be a devil.. ^^

Then I head off to the department store to wait for Jufang to arrive. Looking here and there on their display of flip flops, sandals, accessories and clothes, actually there are many nice items. I just couldn’t afford myself to buy it all; I need to be rich first! Lol Boots and sandals lined up by the display but my attention got hooked to this cute wedge type platform sandals. Should see pic to appreciate.. hehe I took it for a fit first but then put it back because I was thinking of waiting for Jufang before I start spending and then regret it later. So off to accessories shelves, I found a nice simple silver bracelet with one heart charm. It’s similar to the bracelet that I lost back when I was heartbroken.. XD But this one is more “ME”, only one silver apart from all gold ones that were displayed so without a doubt I took it off the rack.

Finally, Jufang came and I showed him the sandals. When he said it looks good, then I decided that it should go home with me! Hehe Being a Shopaholic is in my blood, I don’t have to deny it since there’s nothing wrong with that as long as I don’t go overboard. So that’s how Super Junior has helped me obtain those two things below.

 Missed wearing wedge platforms.. 

 

Simple and Exquisite but NOT Extravagant

Lastly I was able to buy some cloths and pillows for Joei and made him a new bed. It's just an unused  Styrofoam where  apples are placed then I put the cloth on it together with the pillows on the side. Covered the entire thing with a huge plastic so that it will not be damaged when it gets wet, take a look at Joei loving his new bed and his looney tunes blanket.

  

Before I end this long entry, I would like to greet Jufang, a Happy Happy Birthday!!

Turned 26 today and I surprise him with a Super Junior inspired card and cupcake.

Always live your life to the fullest so that in the end you won’t have to regret anything!

We live once so we must enjoy every minute of it..

Here's a share of the cupcake!

 

Enjoy!

A Valentine Letter to share..

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner or should I say 4 days from now.. I’m sure there are a lot of couples looking forward to this day, *ahem! That would include us! XD This once a year event started way back centuries ago and though it may not be considered as a holiday with no work, people still go on dates to celebrate whatever the case may be.

But this year, consider it different as it comes with a partner. We’re celebrating February 14 as Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year. I’m not sure how rare it would be in this case (need to google that one up!) but it just shows that there’s more reason to celebrate on this day. For those in love, it may consider to be the sweetest day especially when the one planning the day would be the guys – making reservations, setting a nice get-up, and buying roses and chocolates. Likewise, the ladies will be busy choosing what to wear to look gorgeous for the date and looking forward to what they will be receiving and spending that day with her man.

But remember that even single people do celebrate this day; they usually do it in groups. The more the merrier, right? :) I know we all have our loved ones whether it be our parents, siblings, cousins, boyfriends, girlfriends, friends, pets, crushes, and the list just goes on; but at least we have them even if we still haven’t found the right one. To make it short, whether we love and we feel loved or not, we still have a reason to celebrate. In our modern time, there are so many different ideas that we can think of, we just have to be strong-willed, creative and dedicated for it to happen. I’m wondering how that day will turn out for me ^_^ feels excited because I know I have a gift.. hihi

Okay so enough about that, here’s something I found lurking somewhere out there.. It’s a Valentine letter but I wonder if the recipient will be able to read it, what do you think?

                                                           

After reaching this point, I felt kinda gushy while listening to Secret‘s I Want You Back and finishing my entry here. *teary-eyed mode* I do hope that those two will be able to settle things this time whether the outcome may be positive or not, at least the sender will be able to move on after a very long time of waiting. Eight years is no joke especially if it involves feelings, I couldn’t even imagine myself in that position. It’s way too long and suffering that much for someone who doesn’t even show a sign of love and care is definitely something one should think twice but if it’s worth the wait then why not. 

Anyhow,  time for me to stop so that I can already publish this.. I'm 2 days due since I was supposed to finish this Monday but because of unforeseen circumstances this entry has been delayed. I'm hoping I can post something here on Vday but it would now depends on my schedule since I will be out the whole day; as in right when I'm ready early in the morning! :)

Hope you guys will have a really Happy Hearts Day!! (''v'')

and Advance Kung Hei Fat Choi
