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

Have you found Miinah?

And the search goes on for the “Miinah” that will capture the hearts of the Super Junior boys! Are you the one? After the extensive promotions from both Universal Records Philippines and Super Junior United Philippines for the past few week, Finding Miinah Day that was held last July 3, 2010 was a huge success. Super Junior fans lined up and filled the 3 music stores the whole day and of course, yours truly got a chance to witness this event! However, I wasn’t able to reach Greenbelt since I had a meeting scheduled in Megamall that day as well.

My first stop was SM North Edsa – The Block being the nearest to my house and oh my god. I never expected the crowd to cover up almost half of The Block’s ground floor area. Astroplus SM North Edsa The Block even had a giant screen and some seats set up for the fans to enjoy.

Fans enjoying the giant screen set up during the event!

The highly anticipated giant portraits of the boys. Well, I didn’t manage to take photos of the whole set which was quite sad but hey hey, I see my biases over there~ Hi Donghae, Siwon and Yesung. Girls and even boys were definitely lining up to get their photo taken with the portraits.

And of course, with my friends being mostly Super Junior fans, I had a hell lot of a good time especially when we all had dinner together at Megamall after the event….not to mention my shoe broke due to…..circumstances. XD

with my best friends, May and Micah

with just Micah this time XDDDD coz May got busy with showing everyone performances and all…

I couldn’t help playing with the tiara for the crowned “Miinah” during the event. Haha~
Don’t worry, I’m not “Miinah” either~

So there, are you sure you are the Miinah, Super Junior would be looking for? If you think you are~ then post up that selca over here at the FINDING MIINAH FACEBOOK PAGE and who knows, you might actually win a very special prize and be hailed as your favorite Super Junior member’s “Miinah”!

More album release to look out for! One including probably one of the Philippines’ most anticipated release for 2010. Are you ready for the Wonder?
