'...s Taeyeon Concert in Manila

Yes! You read it right. Taeyeon had her solo concert in Manila this 2018 Decemeber at the New Frontier Theater. What a great Christmas gift for every PH Sones. The moment it was announced that Manila will be included in her list of her '...s tour I really jumped out of joy and told myself that I need to be part of this.

So of course I will not allow myself to attend the con without my own lightstick. I searched for every online shops just to order it and will make sure that it will arrive before the concert. Thank you Cho Dabi Trading for my SNSD lightstick.

I arrive at the hall early though it was a reserved seat still need to be there to collect all the freebies. Woohoo~

There were a lot of fan projects and this "You've been our 11:11" wish was part of the project; at the back of it says PH Sone, Here I Am. Taeyeon even posted it on her own instagram account.

              

The concert started past 8PM, and of course everyone was excited to see Taeyeon and hear her voice live. Lights off and VCR was played with her unreleased "Here I Am" as background song. As it reaches towards the end the led wall open and gave us the most awaited Kim Taeyeon! she continued the song until the end. She then continued here stage with a sexy performance of I Got Love, a heartfelt vocal of Fire, and fly like an angel with Love You Like Crazy. She ended her first set with her new song Something New. During Ment Taeyeon speaks tagalog "Kamusta Kayo"and the highlight? "Kamusta Kayo Mga Beshie" Yes! Beshie? Beshie is actually a gay lingo which means friend. I don't who thought her that! Lol. She was surprised that she actually have special guests in her concert. Surprised that her friends from far away visited her.  It was the fans who really put an effort to dress up as Valak, Jack Skellington, Annabelle, Scream.

Another VCR was played with Up&Down. Taeyeon return to stage with a new set of outfit and sang
Do You Love Me ; we tried to keep the whole theater quiet as the song is ballad but of course we cannot control each other's feelings LOL some still cheer and shouts their love for KTY. We did tone down a little. She performed next a re-arranged version of Rain, followed by All Night Long, Baram X3, and Why.

Before the third set, a special stage for Taeyeon's band and back up dancers was performed. Each were introduced through their own spotlight.




As the third stage began Taeyeon sang One Day to start off and kick it with Gemini after. Since the date of her tour in Manila fell on a Christmas season, she offer a special song Christmas Without You for her PH Sones to greet them a very Merry Christmas.



She then continued with I'm All Ears, Gravity, Fine (I really think this was the highlight, everyone was waiting for this song to hear the acapella part. Remember her performance from other country went viral so this was the most awaited one, and dude! I guarantee Taeyeon's voice is really one of a kind! She is the best of all the best! #bias LOL) and Feel So Fine.

As we're near to the end, Taeyeon return to stage and sang Time Lapse. After her performance she had ment where in a fan book was given to her, she read it loud and mimik Mahal Ko Kayo (such a cutie). There was a banner project as I have mentioned so the crowd from the VIP I guess where screaming for a photo ops so Taeyeon asked how did we know that we were taking pictures. There was also a project at our section where in we were supposed to create KTY , and yeah she noticed it but it wasn't really that complete cos there are some vacant areas that wasn't filled in so she had a little hard time to understand what it was supposed to mean. We were trying to have it captured in the photo but since our section was so high and the angle wasn't that good it's really hard for the photographer to include it the photo. They found a way but it wasn't clear LOL. Fan projects were all successful that made Taeyeon said she will not forget this night.

There was also another scenario where she was given a message book. Most of the messages were written in english and it was funny because there were messages where in SARANGHAE AND HWAITING was written that way. It was funny how she read it. When she said thank you fans started chearing IIYAK NA YAN, and she was really confused of what we were saying LOL so I guess someone from the staffs approached her and explain that it means to cry. She laughed and said if you want to make me cry that's not the way. Lol. When she was bidding good bye for her last song fans were cheering kajima and then continued to perform Circus as her last song. So of course fans will not let it to end the concert by just that and requested for a one more encore where Taeyeon perform her debut single I. Everyone theater sang along the whole song. It was a tearful ending. We wish it didn't end. But the moment turned into worry when Taeyeon bump into one of the set up from back stage. Though she reassured with the fans that she's okay through her instagram story post.

"If you wish for me, I will come back again. - Kim Taeyeon"

"I love you Sone - Kim Taeyeon"

We will surely want it. And the next time not just you but the whole GG :) My forever bias Taeyeon Wangjanim. We love you too!

SEVENTEEN 'IDEAL CUT' IN MANILA 2018

 This was my most awaited Kpop Concert for this year. I've been during Mansae era. I still remember, Joshua was the one who caught my eyes, but the longer I stay with them it was Junhui now. Hahahaha. It's hard to stay with one as, definitely every CARAT would understand.

So going back, SEVENTEEN, is a South Korean boy group formed by Pledis Entertainment in 2015. The group consists of thirteen members divided into three sub-units, each with a different area of specialization: a 'Hip-Hop Unit', 'Vocal Unit', and 'Performance Unit'. (wiki)

 This is their 3rd Tour in Manila, beginning in 2016 with Shining Diamonds and in 2017 Diamond Edges World Tour. Seventeen 'Ideal Cut' in Manila was held last September 29, 2018 at the Mall of Asia Arena. The arena was so filled with PH CARATs there were also international fans who attended the concert in Manila.

From lining up outside the arena until we got inside the concert venue, CARATS are cheering and singing along with the songs being played. Take note! Seventeen was not yet out that time.
When the show started the fans get wilder and louder! Seventeen kick off their first song with their song Highlight. All performances was so full of energy. After they perform Thanks, during ment CARATs started chanting "Seventeen Gomawo!" and after hearing the boys cheered back with "Caral-deul Gomawa!" I want to cry! This moment was very precious for both Carats and Seventeen. I was all out cheering when they perform Chuck, of course the highlight choreography was power! So much love! Then they continue with Unit performances.

They're so cute when they form Thinking About You, I started liking this song since they performed it! I've been listening to this but didn't appreciate at all, only when they perform it live, it was so addicting.

Debut and pre-debut days flashback to me when Seventeen performed Shining Diamond, this dark concept that they worked so hard for. Who would have thought that they will really shine just like a diamond! They also performed their latest song Oh My! CARATS was singing with them all through out the song.

 Carats were seranade with Campfire, I just so love this song. You'll see your ships with overflowing sweetness. There was a fan project were they turn their lightstick in Yellow Ocean, it was somehow successful. Thank you for the effort Carats!

And most memorable super unexpected! was during Very Nice, see photo on the left side? They return back to the stage to many times! At the end of Aju Nice, screens are close,lights at the Arena are starting to brighten, some in VIP are ready to leave their seats, when the screen opens again and SVT came out again! It superb!!! They did it for like 3 times I think? I don't know I was their so hype during that time!

It was hard when their officially saying goodbye! I was cheering with my whole energy during the concert. I kept telling my cousin that I've been to many concerts but I wasn't as hype as this one! They're really the one ♥

No plans of leaving the arena hoping that they will come out again. HAHAHA.

I have uploaded my fancams on Youtube click the link to direct you to my playlist.

Please bare with me because you can clearly hear me singing, shouting, and whatsoever in  my videos. HAHAHA. I was really into it. Enjoy!

WANNA ONE 2018 "ONE: THE WORLD" TOUR IN MANILA

 

Filipino Kpop Fans welcomes the ber-months with an extremely great concert as Wanna One last stop for their World Tour was here in Manila. On September 01, 2018, the eleven member boy group, WANNA ONE conquered the Mall of Asia Arena for their One:The World Tour.

The group debuted on August 07, 2017 and until December 2018 (wiki_WannaOne)

   

  

I've watched this boys since produce 101 season 2 and seeing them performing live on stage, they really grew a lot as an artist. I never expect that these boys gained so much love and popularity in the Philippines. The arena was so full of wannables cheering, dancing, singing, chanting to every song. 

Wanna One PH had a fan project were in the lightsticks should turn gold during the Gold performance, and it was a bit successful. The crowd went extra wild when Wanna One perform the single from their survival show 나야나 (Pick Me). Everyone is singing "nayana" and dancing all through out the song.

SUPER JUNIOR - SUPER SHOW 7 IN MANILA

My very first ever Super Show!
Super Junior returns to Manila for a Super Show after 5 years. Super Show 7 was held last June 30, 2018 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The stage set up was so fantastic! It was so big, extending up to Lower Box A Center. It's almost like a VIP experience! Super Junior right there in front of you!

The group performed their latest songs and their hit singles! Of course the legendary Sorry Sorry will never be out of the list. They also performed Bonamana and Mr. Simple.

Super Junior members Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Donghae, and Siwon are present at the concert. While member Kyuhyun and Ryeowook missed this tour due to their obligatory military service. However; the two members still find their way to greet their PH-Elfs. A voice message from Kyuhyun and Ryeowook was played on the concert.














It was so touching because every member prepared a Filipino greetings for their PH Elfs during ment. The crowd went wild when Siwon acknowledged the presence of Manny Pacquiao and of course Pia Wurtzbach. Fans kept on shouting Pia's name when Siwon was about to drop the name of Pia. And then there was Heechul fanboying over Pacquiao 😂😂

Before performing I Do, Leeteuk read a very heartfelt letter for very Princess Elfs inside the Arena. You can definitely say that the concert was made for every Elf.

It was a concert that I will forever treasure!

To share with everyone, here are my fancams during SS7:

2018 WILD KARD TOUR IN MANILA

Best day for me. Isn't it? 💓 I really made sure that I will witness this memorable night for all the Hidden Kards in PH.

Manila was the last stop of KARD's 2018 WILD KARD Asia Tour. The concert was held last February 09, 2018 at the Kia Theater. KARD is a South Korean mixed gender or co-ed group formed by DSP media. KARD is composed of four members: J.Seph, BM, Somin, and Jiwoo. Before their debut the group released three project singles, Oh NaNa, Don't Recall, and Rumor. The group officially debut July 19, 2017 with the EP Hola-Hola. (source: wiki_KARD)

This was the first concert of KARD in Manila. I still can't believe that I got to see them right in front of my eyes. Especially during the encore where in Somin was just right there in front of me. 

I purchased VIP ticket which includes a hi-touch and photo op with the group. The hi-touch was a really quick one, like you just slap each others hand. The security was so strict that you can't really stay there for a few seconds. During photo ops, I was targeting Somin actually hahaha but I was first in line and was forced to sit on the right end on BM's side. Nothing to complain at all, duh! It's BM! So just like any other fans I requested him to have a heart pose with me, little did I know that his heart was divided into two. HAHAHA see photo above ☝.

ONE OK ROCK AMBITIONS ASIA TOUR 2018 LIVE IN MANILA

When you thought it's all about Kpop, setting it aside this was the first Japanese Band Concert I have attended! Ambitions tour in Manila was held on January 29, 2018 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Attending the event without any idea what this band's songs are, I was still able to enjoy the show. It was a rock and roll theme, you see people head banging and jamming to their music. It was a genre that you can easily feel the vibe! Something that even you're just randomly listening to it, you will definitely enjoy.

It was sad because I was half an hour late. HAHAHA!
