We got United at KPOP United!

And it was UNITED indeed as 4 of the biggest KPOP fan clubs united in one special event prepared by MCA Music and Astroplus! I, myself was pretty excited because I remember having talked to Ekah, Meg and Meg (BBPH and BEASTPH) about coming up with a JOINT gathering a year before and TA-DA! Guess it came into a complete reality. KPOP UNITED was truly an event for those who loves the Wonder Girls, Big Bang, Beast and 4Minute.

Awesome performances from the 4 FCs as well, this one’s Wonder Yeoja performing a WG medley for the audience. Oh yeah, Wonderful Philippines’ very own dance group. Haha! I think the girls did a good job given the short notice. Loves to my ladies! And of course, crowd’s favorite BEAST tribute group, BEST was there to perform as well!

There’s BEST, looking very powerful and yeahp, all them screaming girls in the background. I think it was kind of cute that some of the Korean girls at the event thought that they were some Korean idol group. Other groups such as HotMinute, Nine Flames and Cloud Nine performed at the event as well but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to watch these performances properly or take photos because yeahp, as you’ve heard my bag was stolen. My camera and phone is safe though. Nothing big to worry about, important part there is everyone’s safe and nothing major caused a riot.

Though…I have to say, this is my favorite performance during the whole event!

That’s our boy, Carlo Ronquillo (Visit his Facebook Page! http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#!/pages/Carlo-Ronquillo/139427722762232?ref=ts) and boy that was one surprise but I kind of knew Carlo would be doing this SOON. Salamat idol! XD Isa ka nang ganap na artista talaga. CARNINS pa rin ako! XD Ahehehehe!

I also well, took part in the event by hosting the Wonder Girls segment of the program. It was quite fun and my first take on hosting on such a big event.

Yes, I know I have been gaining weight from sitting down the whole day!

There goes me counting up some Wonder Girls members! XD

In the end, despite the unfortunate part where my bag gets stolen (phone and dslr safe!), KPOP United was such an awesome event and I’m looking forward to work with everyone again soon! There will be more coming from these fanclubs and more to look forward especially this December *HINT* XDD

Anyway, I’ll keep this short and sweet but GUESS WHO’S HOSTING SJUPH’S ANNIVERSARY GATHERING. That’s right, it’s me, lovelies and I’ll be hosting with Derek of SJUPH so yeah, I’m a bit nervous about it and yet super excited and in the evening, I expect to party just nearby XDDD

Send me some love, you guys know I appreciate it. <3

One Ways Goes Our Way!!!

I promised I’d finish blogging this soon enough but if it gets delayed again, somebody go kick me right now for being to lazy. Haha. Hello, did you all miss me? No? That’s okay! :3 As you all know, actually, I’ve been tweeting, made some posts about this a long time ago but yeah now that it’s finally over…I can’t help but become a wee bit teary-eyed. Okay okay, I have been crying since last Sunday, I should really stop now. XD

So One Way finally visitied Manila for their 3-day Mall Tour at the SM Supermalls and boy, believe me…it was a BLAST! I have never experienced anything like this. You know, if you’re used to Korean idol groups, One Way’s music might be new and fresh to listen to. If you know me well enough, you’d know that hiphop and rnb isn’t really my thing, I’d go club but it’s usually house and trance for me and if I’m not listening to KPOP, I listen to alternative rock, rock…Switchfoot, New Radicals, We The Kings, Boys Like Girls type of music. Guess what, these boys turned the tables for me and I’m actually starting to appreciate their genre. Hey, I do like RnB…Babyface, yeahp. My mom was even surprised actually when she heard me blasting off some One Way tunes a few weeks ago.

So yes, One Was is set to bring something fresh into KPOP. Be honest, with the surge of boy group and girl groups with either Lady Gaga-ish or manly or I don’t even know how to describe those concepts, you’d be looking for something new and unique. Haha. I’m not saying those boy and girl groups are doing bad (I still love my Super Junior and SHINee and Wonder Girls) but of course you’d be looking for something new as well…and that’s when I was introduced to One Way.

And what made it even more epic is that THEY WENT HERE!!!!!!

Yes dears and sirs, One Way visited the Metro from July 28 to August 2, if I’m not mistaken. They had some shows and gained the hearts of many of the Filipino KPOP fans. With the boys performing their hit songs “Magic” and “Wrong Number”, they’ve surely made their mark in everyone’s hearts – including mine ^^.

All were too memorable to even pick which one was the best! Let’s have a rundown of the week then!

Wednesday: Boys arrive – Press Conference!

- You can say I was pretty nervous during the press conference. The other girls told me to sit still but no, I was walking around and well just randomly saying hi and none sense to everyone. But thank you to Sir Peter Chan of Universal Records Philippines for inviting us over. It was a such a cool experience actually and to ask the boys something I was curious about was epic. Haha! Oh yeah, Ate Chi and burrito promise to Chance was fun to watch as well. His reaction was too cute. Yes, Chance, We can eat burritos all day too!

After the press conference, we had to meet with Jenny (who came all the way from Davao for One Way!) at Trinoma and go back home with my parents. Jenny and May was in for the night – it was one hell of a sleepover!

Thursday – ….What just happened?

- The two girls and I decided that it was time to shop for presents for the boys. We headed to SM The Block after lunch when I got a message from a friend that she saw the boys at Trinoma. Curious little kids we are, I messaged Sir Peter asking where they were and ta-da, we had dessert afternoon with Rie, Sir Peter and Ms. Denise at Friday’s which was really supposed to be us saying hi to them and introducing Jenny to Sir Peter since well – she’s Jenny They had to pick the boys up again for another rehearsal when we were asked if we wanted to meet the boys, which we did.

OKAY. This was not really flattering because the girls and I were just in our everyday-wear clothes (PAMBAHAY..shirt-shorts..amp), messy day hair and no make up. But hey, it was nice to meet the boys so randomly and casually like that. At the end of that day, while buying gifts…..I was silently cursing myself for not dressing up…or at least put on some fake eyelashes or something…I don’t know.

But can you blame me…I was DEAD LAZY that day. XDD So was May and Jenny.

…and the gifts we got were all too hilarious. XD

Friday – SKYDOME SHOW, LET’S GO!

Three Adorkable geeks..not exactly in pink~ The glasses really suits them XD

- We arrived as early as 2PM. Jenny, May and I had to wait around at The Block, had froyo (yum!) and I had coffee (because I needed to stay awake XD) then by around 4PM, we met the others at the entrance of the Skydome and all went in. It was fun. I felt like I was playing around with us making silly banners, taking photos~ basically just having fun with my friends while waiting for the show to start.

Sir Peter asked Jenny if she’d want to go up on stage when the boys sang one song with partners and stuff. We all urged her to go and had her to pick Peter. The show started and seeing the boys so casual and so natural for their performance was really awesome! I mean, the mall tour didn’t feel like a mall tour…it was a CONCERT! Haha!

And so Jenny went up on stage for Sexy Love and my friends and I were all giggly. I’m sure Jenny had an awesome time being up there on stage with Peter. Yeah, being serenaded by the Smooth Operator Peter himself!

That’s one tight hug over there. Sweet! :3

And of course it all ended with good fun and a dinner with my boyfriend and my lovely friends which we all enjoyed. Hopefully Dino wasn’t too traumatized. XD

SATURDAY – Megamall Show

I was a bit more lax this time around, okay not really relaxed but more like lazy and jittery at the same. Some of you guys probably know what happened so no need to elaborate but I guess Saturday was the most memorable one ^^

So here’s some photos from the show instead!

One Way rocking Megamall!

Hey Skywalker! ^___^

A pretty photo of Chance during the signing session taken by my best friend!! :3

and here’s also a pretty shot of Peter! :3

SUNDAY – Mall of Asia

I really thought I wouldn’t be able to attend this one but my dad let me go for the sake that it was the last day! We got there and well, I wanted to roam around Mall of Asia alone for a bit (yeah, I’m a Loner like that~) and bought cotton candy…just because.

But here are some highlights from the last show

The boys of One Way with OMGCANYOUBELIEVEIT Christian Bautista! They apparently did a collaboration which you can find in One Way’s One Way Street Philippine Edition CD so do get it so you’ll know which one it was :3

I remember meeting Christian at the Press Conference of One Way and telling him he should do more RnB tracks coz his voice fitted the genre (agree with me!!) and I got a high five and hug. My fangirl sense got all tingly. Haha! I love Christian Bautista – he’s amazing! XD (yes, I apparently do love other genres aside from KPOP btw)

Here’s Peter working so hard to give out his best performance…tired, Peter? :3

And here’s Peter, doing what he does best…”taking a photo and post it up on Twitter”, you Twitter-holic! <3
but it’s good memories for them taking photos of One Loves!

and here’s Chance singing his solo single – Forever which got me into tears that night. I was crying a lot. :3

Of course the boys continued the routine of signing their cds for their beloved fans!

And of course, some memories are irreplaceable to us. :3 I’m not in any of these pics because simply, I took them but here’s some friends with new found friends! XDDD

and of course, I’m sure we made Daniel’s trip here to the Philippines really special! XD

So far, that’s it! It was all too much fun and memories and I’m sure that One Way would want to head back here again some time soon, right?

This is me signing off for the meantime since homework is piled up!

:3

P.S: Of course I’d like to thank the team behind Universal Records Philippines for this memorable experience and my lovely friends at Super Junior United Philippines. And please don’t ask me how much I cried…I just cried…a lot. XD
