All my life, music influences some of the greatest moments of it. When I am down, when I am happy and when I am on high (not the literal high, if that's what you are thinking) I listen to music. And lyrics brings even more life to music. So then, since I am such a music lover I will have this "Music on the loop" segment on my blog. I just feel like sharing some of my faves, be it new or old songs, as long as it belongs on my playlist.
So here are the songs LSS-ing me for the past few days:
1. A Thousand Year Part 2
*this song perfectly matches the story of Breaking dawn, Christisna's voice is so soothing that you can't get enough of it*
2. Diamonds- Rihanna
*Rihanna is one of the baddest girl in the music industry. so "shine bright like a diamonds"*
3. We are never ever getting back together- Taylor Swift
*this is a song that gets stuck in your head. More of like a playful song that eventually will get you addicted to it, repeating the "we are never ever ever ever getting back together" line*
4. Locked out of Heaven- Bruno Mars
*this song literally gets me high, my new fave song of all time. Bruno Mars is such a genius. There's this scene in VS fashion show, Bruno Mars, singing the song, dancing to it in a synchronized movement that is soooo much fun to look at and you will eventually love the song even more.*
5. Girl on Fire- Alicia Keys
*This song is sick. Alicia Keys is back and even fiercer. She has all the complicated tones in her music that only Keys can do.*
and lastly, an OPM music. I don't know why but the lyrics of the song and the beat gets you addicted to it.
6. Gayuma- Abra ft. Thyro & Jericho Aguilar
*the music video is fun and the lyrics is funny "para kang rebisco and sarap ng feeling ko" hahahaha. Take a listen to it and you will see why*
There goes my playlist for this week. I will bring you more exciting ones next time. Thank you :)
I know I said that i'll be posting my concert experiences the day after i wrote my last post to which I ranted everything that has happened before the actual concert. But then i suddenly felt lazy to write. tsk~ writing such long blog post really do cost me a lot of effort and time to organize everything but still i will try to remember (if i can sitill) good things that had happen at that time.
Let's start.
*this was inside the arena. We don' want to miss the chance to took a pic while inside the dome since we will be parting ways with Mars :)*
I think, if I remembered it right, it was 7 p.m. when we went inside the dome (MOA arena is sooo big, it was my first time actually and the interior's great) and lucky us we don't have to be in such a long line. We actually planned to be there one hour before the concert starts. And like any other fans keep on saying in their fanrepo , Bigbang's latest music videos were kept playing on the two mid sized screens at each side of the dome. Of course, fans were shouting and singing along showing their excitement if i guess it right, the concert started at 8:10pm, not bad, 10 minutes late is alright. and BOOM! Bigbang Alive Galaxy Tour started. Here are (for me) the highlights of the concert:
Gorgeous outfits/costume from gorgeous people. I really do love Bigbang's outfits. it shows classiness.
I am a G-dragon bias but that night turned me to be fangirling over T.O.P. OMG! Top is just super duper gwapo and with hotness overload without showing that much and doing that much. I JUST FREAKIN' LOVE THAT GUY! Such a tease!!! :))
Girls/fans who were touched or been fan serviced by Gd is super duper lucky. There's this one spot/area that GD keep on going that they have this 24 inches gap between them that felt us super jealous because of all areas why them?????
Taeyang is super sexy! i know, that's not a revelation or what, but fans were just happy seeing it not anymore in pictures but in real life and up close.
Fans were kept saying that Seungri did look quite different from what they expected of him to be. They say he was really really handsome and pictures don't give justices to what it is in real life. But again, I am too far away to witness what it was like, so in the end i really can't judge. poor me.
Some of the songs were not familiar to me, I think 3-4 songs. So most of the times i kepT quiet. hahahaha
Seungri got a panda and a crayon that he keeps on playing and he sort of enjoyed that moment. This was actually during encore where they can move freely and do whatever they want. It's too cute. ya know.
As i keep on looking at the screen I noticed that GD had this red mark on his left part of his forehead that seems to be swelling. So I am guessing, he hit something when he was being too lively to perform and they say maybe a factor of that resulted to GD being not in the mood anymore to enjoy the rest of the concert. But as how i see it, it seems that he was stable on his performances, from the very start up to the end. No changes at all. He was still giving us the best performance he could ever have.
Daesung is such a sweetheart and should be love. the voice, the attitude, the quirkiness, and everything about him. That is why Top loves him so much. hahaha
I guess everyone already knows about the bra thing thrown at Top during the concert. Though i have not witness that incident, i think that it is not a bad thing to do such. It's purely for fun and it is new bra not a used one or else it could be "ewwww".
The liveliest, the happiest and the funniest part of the concert was the Encore. maybe because encore is the time where they have to do anything they want. They sang 4 more songs, lucky us, and i was uber happy because they sang Bad Boy again. oh! how much I love that song! so Badass. hahahahaha
And lastly,"Manila Baby!!!" their favorite phrase ever! and nakakaproud because they kept on saying how awesome the Filipinas are, how good we are and they eventually promise to COME BACK! I will hold into that promise that they will really be back. and by that time i have to make sure no more upper box, it should be VIP by that time. hahahaha
Bonus: the ever favorite part of every fangirl who attended the concert was the acapella version of Haru Haru where VIPs sang it in korean. Nakakaproud sobra!!! it was an achievement. Though, fan projects were not succeeded, still we get to participate in such event where we can truly prove that we are a VIP and that is by singing the chorus part of the song and what even more nakakaproud was that, they said we have a beautiful voice.
and one last thing, each seating has this jeju air fan that i think was cute. and the back portion of it has bigbang member. mine was Daesung, when my friend got two he has TOP, since i like TOP na he gave it to me and exchange it with my Daesung. hahahaha. Here:
*the jeju air fan together with my bigbang headband*
and there goes my own version of the Highlights of the concert. I hope you enjoyed it.
After the concert, we went straight to the airport, relax, fangirl, relax again, fangirl, sleep, wake up, fangirl again, That's how life should be. :)))
*went straight to airport, our flight schedules till 2pm pa but we have nowhere to go so better spend the rest of the hour waiting at the airport (talagang literal na tulog sa sahig ginawa ko dahil hindi na talaga kaya) hahahahaha*
And to end everything of this, i wanna put it shortly by saying...
Bigbang really do give the best performances EVER!!!! :))))) Till' next time Bigbang.
I don't know how to start my mini ranting of what actually happened before and after the concert. Maybe imma write the important ones only or the highlight of our adventure (I was with my good friend slash co-fangirl Mars at that time)
So, before anything else, if I am not mistaken all fangirls thought the same thing that the concert was actually unexpected because fans were voting really hard for our country to be included on the alive tour (except me since I was not on Bigbang mode at that time so I did not care at all..hahaha). and then Mars told me Philippines got in on the league tour and she was happy, and I'm not because the thought that tickets will gonna be pricey first came on my mind. (I'm super "tihik" in our own language) and everyone on facebook keep posting on how Philippines is included and how excite they are, happy, saving and fangirling. A month later, Mars told me that tickets will be sold on early June or July? I'm not quite sure and then all I know Mars already bought the ticket for 6000k++++ *_*. yeah, so pricey!!!
Then everyone kept quiet because I know they already bought the ticket, planned everything on what to do before/on the concert, while I'm keeping myself distracted and busy with training just not to think about it. And, one lazy afternoon, I browse youtube suddenly i was on bigbang mode listening to Bad boy and That XX. yes, two songs I keep on playing on that time. Two songs that got me hooked and one song (Bad Boy) then let's me decide that I SHOULD GO TO THE CONCERT AS IT IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY besides the fact that they are my K-pop bias. Take note it was late September when I decided that I should go. Well, the thought that tickets will not be good at that time already sinked in my mind, I SHOULD ACCEPT THE FACT THAT I AM TOO LATE. Yes, toooooooo late. But since i am stupid and all I was thinking is TO SEE THEM NOT UP CLOSE BUT PERSONAL AND WILL PERFORM LIVE AND I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THEIR RAW VOICES urges me to still buy a ticket. After a day of deciding that I will go, I hurriedly went to SM Cinema to buy the ticket.
*the ever precious ticket though it's not really a good view the thought that i can still see them is fine with me*
After buying the ticket I told Mars that I bought it and since I don't wanna be a loner, fangirl-ing all by myself I txted Mars on her flight schedules going back&forth so that I have company with me to flail even before the concert. you know, who you can talk to on your excitement, on your expectation and your craziness. yeah, that's how basically crazy fangirl acts. The perks of being a fangirl. hahahahahaha
Then, everything's set, we fly off on a 825 morning flight and have to meet Mars sister, ate Van once we get to the airport. Since the venue for the concert is just a walking distance to Mall of Asia we spent entirely our time window shopping and buying pasalubongs for our love ones. hahaha. After knowing that Uniqlo's now available in MOA I promise to myself once I get back again in Manila I have to visit the store and buy one of their items, and yes, I did keep my promise. I eventually bought all my paslaubongs there. It's quite pricey but quality-wise, it's good, very comfy and easy to wear.
*UNIQLO, i super duper love this brand. been waiting for this to come to the Philippines (ofcourse Cebu also) the fact also that Akanishi Jin's wife is major endorser of this brand and im such a huge supporter of the couple, martyr lang!!! hahaha)
When we went to the concert venue we saw numbers of VIPs waiting on the area, bringing and buying some goodies, fashionable VIPs with a crown design headband. After seeing that we searched and searched and asked couple of VIPs on where they bought the headbands but sadly, we did not find the seller. Me being "tihik" i don't wanna spend that much for a headband, but me being crazy and just to prove that I am indeed a VIP I still bought a 300 peso HEADBAND? Really???? but it was actually cute and good. here:
*the ever pricey headband but it does look cute, right? Mars also with her very pricey light stick but it shines so birght so no worry, we actually planned to buy the crownstick but it wayyyyyy pricey so NO, NO* ^_^
The good thing was that, we bought the reserved seating ticket so we don't have to fall in line that early, and we can still have the time to roam around the area.
So, before going into details on the actual concert, i have to stop here and finish it maybe after an hour. I come up with a BAD BOY title because as i have mentioned earlier it is that performance of Bad Boy that got me in this beautiful adventure and wonderful experience. Maybe, you'll say there's nothing really special about that song but it is not only that song that I am talking about but also the performance. It's just full of SWAG. Not to mention Bigbang's been quoted as the BAD BOYs of K-pop. *But Haru Haru still means a lot to me*
So, maybe you'll wonder what performance was that, here I'll show you, and tell me if I'm wrong. :))
Let's end it here before I totally feel nostalgic again of what was I was feeling at the concert. Because it was CRAY CRAY!!!!!
