#ONEOKROCKinMNL2023 🎤 [2023.09.26]

Bilingual. Contains strong swearing words and curses. No filter. Just feelings. And very VERY long.

Read at your own risk. ⚠️

1. Wonder

First to come on stage was Tomoya. Then Ryota. Then Toru. And the start of my "putangina ang gwapo ni Toru" vomit. I know it's not appropriate but so is Toru. I mean, he's probably the reason why I chose this side of the stage, right? Right.

"putangina ang gwapo ni Toru" counter - 2

By this time, it still did not dawn on me that the first song is Wonder because I am just staring at a treasure that is Yamashita Toru.

And then here comes Takahiro. My scream was W-I-L-D. No shit. If there was a bias-wrecker in J-rock, mine was definitely Taka that night. (Or maybe until now? Lord I miss him alam ko may pila po pero pwede akin na lang siya)

I'm a person who goes to concert without searching for the setlist so I was so happy they started the concert with Wonder. I had a recent trip in ZamBaSulTa (Zamboanga-Basilan-Sulo-TawiTawi) and I used this song for my travel reel I was so happy.

Towards the end of the song, Ryota, Taka and Toru all went at the center of the stage and did some choreo. It was so cute coordinated like a boy band so why choose between a boy band and a rock band when you can choose ONE OK ROCK hahaha  

2. Save Yourself

Me towards the end of Wonder, nag-iinarte akala mo kalma: "that was nice"

Me when I heard the guitar intro of Save Yourself: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" 🤣🤣🤣

We missed them so much, Araneta was trembling with how loud our voices were as we sang along with Taka. We were crazy happy fans who waited for their return. ♡

I scream crazy at whatever Toru does. He plays guitar as usual? I scream. He goes to my side of the stage? I scream. He sings? I scream. 😅

*talk*

Taka: Hello everyone!

Me: "AAAAAAAAAAH" 🤣

He said something about finally meeting after a long time, and wants to have a fucking great time with all of us and yes we all did have a fucking great time from start to finish 🤧

Then he goes, "Alright Manila, let me see you fucking jump!" And when Taka tells you to jump, YOU JUMP. 

3. Taking Off

"putangina ang gwapo ni Toru" counter - 3

RYOTA AND THAT BASSLINES OH MY GOD. I love attending OOR concerts because for one, the bass on their lives sound so much better than on their studio albums.

The number of times Taka asked us to jump and the number of times we didn't fail him. We were a perfect slave to his commands 🤣

"putangina ang gwapo ni Toru" counter - 4

*talk*

Taka: "It's been a fucking long time"

and it really is 🤧 The concert was supposed to be in 2020 then pandemic happened and we skipped a whole tour (Eye of The Storm) Krystle and I held on to our original tickets putting our trust to OOR that they would return for another tour and now we're here. 🤧

I think he said something to sing as loud as we can and I think we exceeded his expectations (we were so good we should be proud of ourselves 🎤) 

4. Let Me Let You Go

Taka: "Why'd you let me let you go"

Us: *in perfect timing and tune* "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh" ✨️

But the best is yet to come 😌

I thought they would sing the English lyrics but Taka was singing the Japanese lyrics. I was so happy. We've come a long way from their first concert here in 2016 🤧

TOMOYA AND THOSE WILD BEATS AND RYOTA WITH THE BASS AND TORU MDDKEBEKSKWEJD THAT SET WAS INSANE I LOVE THEM 🫠

Tapos biglang ang soft ng transition to bridge putangina pangapat na kanta pa lang wala nang paglagyan yung feelings ko panagutan niyo 'to hoy! 

5. Clock Strikes

WALANG MAGPAPAHINGA. WALANG KAKALMA.

We were so excited that we sang the "oh" part immediately but Taka was quick to put us back on track.

Taka: "Believe that time is always forever" and after his part he goes "now please sing it everybody"

Us: "Believe that time is always forever"

Now the best part:

Taka belted and sustained that note for a good freaking almost 30 seconds long and we sang along with him harmonizing with that long sustained note we were perfectly in sync (Araneta posted a video of that if I'm not mistaken so go ahead and check it out)

Any ONE OK ROCK fan deserves to hear and sing along with Clock Strikes live. It is meant to be heard live. 🕐

6. I Was King

We were so good and loud at singing along and singing all those "oh" we'll never know that it was raining so hard outside during the concert (I just knew that when I finally had a phone signal outside the venue 😅)

I was so intently watching Taka when I realized that Toru was also singing along to that "if I go down I will go down fighting" and I let out yet another loud scream for Yamashita Toru my god I love him Lord wala po ba siyang duplicate 😭

Taka let us sing that part where it's one octave higher and did we fail him? Of course we didn't. Like I've been saying, we were so good. ✨️

7. Renegade

I'm not sure if it was on this song or later but I am starting to put everything in my bag (face mask that's been on my elbow, the belt I was wearing that kept on getting loose hahaha) in preparation to all the jumpings Taka would ask us to do 🤣

Everyone singing this line with feelings, loud and clear:

"I'M NOT AFRAID TO TEAR IT DOWN AND BUILD IT UP AGAIN" 💪

*talk*

Ryota: "Kumusta kayong lahat? Masaya ba kayo diyan? Ako din masaya"

He had to repeat that "masaya ba kayo diyan" A+ for effort! Thank you Ryota 🤧

Ryota: "May tanong ako sa inyo, ilan sa inyo ang _____ bagong album? Nagustuhan niyo ba?"

I was just screaming but I really didn't understand that bit but I still love you Ryota. Again, A+ for effort 😁

And here comes Yamashita Toru with his colorful abaniko petition to make this as his official uchiwa in PH YES PLEASE 🤣

I love him so much I scream so loud for him like a crazy fangirl. It's embarrassing but what can I do? He's been getting on my nerves in a good way since I watched Fool Cool Rock at a cinema in Jakarta wayback 2014 (but started listening to the band around 2012) That's more that 10 years of emotional investment so bear with me 🙈

Toru: "Kumusta kayo Manila!"

I think he also said "namiss namin kayo, namiss niyo din ba ako" but I'm really not sure I'm just screaming my heart out to whatever he was saying 🤣

Toru: "Thank you for waiting for us. I'm so happy to be back here. We love you guys so much. Thank you Manila" 😭😭😭

And thank you for returning. We love you just as much 😭😭😭

(The way he said that "we love you guys so much" was so cute but of course he's my favourite I like everything he does I am a trash for this man hahaha)

Krystle's ichiban is Tomoya so imagine her hysterical call out "TOMOYAAAA" when it was finally his time to talk to us. I am very happy we were all happy that night 🥰

Tomoya: "Maraming salamat. Masaya akong nandito para sa inyo."

Me: "Yung friend ko po masaya" *then I attempted to take a video of her to capture that happiness. Keyword: attempt 🤣

Then he mentioned Sisig and I laughed because we've been talking about Sisig even before we entered the venue. We were looking for Sisig when we were drinking beer before the concert. Now we have Tomoya speaking about it. Talk about Sisig supremacy 🍻

Tomoya was perfectly pronouncing the words in Filipino if I were to rank them all, he's probably the first honor 👏

Tomoya ended his talk by asking us "handa na ba kayo?" and on to the next part of the concert: The instrumental.

Instrumental

It started with Toru and oh dear heavens I love him so much I am so happy he's happily married but I hope Mrs. Yamashita is not bothered by us fans swooning over her husband because HE.IS.FREAKING.GOOD.

And just when I thought that I was all for Toru on that segment, Ryota goes and plays that bass riff confusing me on where to focus my attention then Tomoya drum rolling I LOVE THEM ALL.

Slowly I realized what the next song was, then Taka appeared on stage, and we're on the 8th song of the night.

8. Neon

Ryota's basslines then Toru's guitar riffs it was such a good intro 😭😭😭

I'm not sure what was wrong, was it Taka's in-ear or was it him forgetting the lyrics because he told us to "sing it please" for the second verse and briefly went off the stage. At one point it was just the band again and when I heard how clear Toru's riffs without the vox I screamed so loud I think I confused the people around me 🙈 Again, whatever Toru does, I.LET.OUT.A.LOUD.SCREAM. 🙈

By the second chorus, Taka is back again. By the last chorus, I can barely hear Taka singing, then the song ends… and so we thought. 

Taka shouted "One more time! Neon!" we thought he'd only repeat the second part of the song but no, we had a Neon-rerun. Hindi makapayag si Taka nang ganon-ganon na lang matatapos yung kanta. Lord mahal ko na po yata si Takahiro pwede po bang siya na lang please 😭

It was so fun because it was like we had a rehearsal and now we know what to do but even knowing that Toru would be doing that so-damn-good-guitar-riff, I still screamed the same way I did when I heard it for the first time, just a couple of minutes earlier 🙈

9. Vandalize

Confession: I just listened to the whole Luxury Disease album last July, on a long land trip from Zamboanga del Sur to Zamboanga del Norte. I know the songs but I don't know the words perfectly. But I'm only one among the crowd and the majority knows the song by heart. Filipino fans are really good at singing along with their favourites at concerts. 👏

10. Make It Out Alive

Takahiro was a scene stealer. Writing this, recalling the concert one song on the setlist at a time, this song has a good guitar intro but I was so intently watching Taka as he commanded the crowd to do what he wanted us to do. Only when Toru went near our part of the stage did I realize his existence. 

All the jumping I did on this concert was insane I can't believe I did all that having only breakfast as my last meal before the concert, was on my foot since 4:30 PM and I jumped with my bag on how the hell did I do that is beyond me 😅

The crowd was so hyped. People were stomping their feet as if a child was throwing tantrums that they wanted more. Funnier because we did that when the next song was an acoustic song. I think it was also on this part when Taka tried to copy us stomping his feet he was so cute Lord gusto ko siyang ibulsa akin na lang siya please 😭

11. Your Tears Are Mine

Taka made this song a lot more emotional than it was supposed to be by saying that it's been so long since we last saw each other, 5 years to be exact. 

He asked us to sing along with the song. And if we didn't know the lyrics, it would be flashed on the screen to guide us.

I thought our peak to exceed his expectations of us was when we sang perfectly to Wherever You Are last 2016 but this song was a great competition. 

Krystle as I was intently watching Takahiro: "Tumingin ka naman kay Toru. Nakakalimutan mo (na siya)" 🤣🤣🤣

And she was so right 🤣 I mean this was an acoustic song and if it was in 2016, I know all my heart and soul would be for Yamashita Toru but Takahiro was just sparkling that night. He's glowing and I was really blinded by that light (shet Takahiro mahal na yata talaga kita at nagiinarte ako nang ganito panagutan mo ito leche kaaaa hahahaha)

But it was our time to steal their hearts. After belting that sustained note, Toru stopped playing the guitar and we know it was time for us to sing our part. As Taka asked us if we were ready, he signaled us when to sing and it was one of the most magical part of the concert ✨

Your tears are mine

It's a new world tonight

Say my name and I will fly

Over to you

Gunning for time

I promise you that I'll be by your side

Through the fight

Everything's gonna be fine

Just please hold on*

The whole time Taka was guiding us with the song, and on that last lyric, he signaled us to pause and we did, perfectly. Not a sound was heard at the venue for a brief moment until Taka showed us how satisfied he was with what happened and we let out our giggles of happiness. Then like a very happy kid, he let out a big smile, pointing at him and at us to sing the last part together. 

There's really a different kind of happiness when fans are given moments like this and they deliver really well. I love this fan-artist interaction in concert. ♡

12. Change

The scream I let out when I realized that the next song was Change I love this song and I could've heard it at EOTS tour but pandemic happened I dreamed of hearing this live when I watched the Youtube streaming of their orchestra concert plainly simply I just love this song and finally I am hearing it live I was so hysterically screaming and you can actually feel my feels reading this account without any punctuation marks 🤣

Taka: "Sing it!"

I was so ready to sing along to the chorus but motherfuxking Yamashita Toru stole the part because he was singing harmonizing along and instead of singing I just screamed so loud by this time I'm not sure if I love the song or I love him I guess it's both because I am crazy like that.

Also, Takahiro sang the lyrics in Japanese and the JP version of this song is not even on Spotify on this side of the world I was so happy.

This song was so fun I was dancing (I think this was also the time when Taka went to Toru and like grooved to the song I love them 😭) screaming, singing along I was so happy my feelings were all over the place I love watching concerts 🤧

Grabe 12 songs lang pero ang dami nang nangyari. 😭

It was feelings after feelings because right after Change, a piano chord that was so familiar played, and we're on to our next song.

13. The Beginning

Another crowd favourite. Everyone was on their feet from floor area up to the Gen Ad. Everyone jumping. Everyone singing along. It was a feast.

Taka: So

Us: STAND UP STAND UP!

Taka: Just gotta keep it I wanna

Us: WAKE UP WAKE UP!

Taka: Just tell me how I can

Us: NEVER GIVE UP!

We were so great and Taka acknowledged that a couple of times.

VIP standing experience with this crowd was insane. Phones were still up but at least no one was there just to watch the concert on their phone screens. We were having so much fun ☆

I screamed way too loud when everyone went to the center stage to do their signature move. Like Clock Strikes, all ONE OK ROCK fan deserves to see this song performed live. 

14. Stand Out Fit In

Taka asked us to kneel / sit and signaled us when to jump and we had our cue when Taka said "3 2 1 JUMP!" it was so fun and chaotic I remember jumping crazily for the most part of the song it was worth all the bodyache after concert 🤣 By this time nasisiraan na ako ng bait kasi pupunta sa harap si Takahiro tapos lalapit si Toru tapos rinig na rinig ko yung bass ni Ryota tapos ang saya-saya ni Tomoya nasa point na ako nito na alam kong patapos na yung concert kasi masyado nang masaya 😭

*small talk*

*small talk kasi chinacharing kami ni Takahiro na last song na yung next pero gago ang sarap pakinggan ng boses niya bwiset hoy panagutan mo talaga itong feelings ko tangina 🤣* 

Taka: You guys are the best. You guys are fucking best.

Me, confidently: "We know!" 

because we really were the best crowd to the best band that night. 

We need to stay alive for 3 years because Taka said that they're making a new album and will probably return in 3 years 💪

15. Wasted Nights

The LED screen here was so good. By the chorus at the "Let's live like we're immortals" part, it zoomed on the stage then towards the crowd it was like watching a DVD but in real life I'm bad at explaining but it was good camera work. 

I was not prepared that Taka would sing the Japanese lyrics 😭 Add to the fact that in the few travel reels that I made on my Instagram account with OOR songs, all of them were performed at the concert. 🤧

Taka: Sing it!

Us: I don't want to wait, I don't want to waste a night

And the next thing we know, by the last chorus of the song, confettis were up in the air. It would be difficult to top this experience. This is on par with my feelings when I attended L'ArChristmas and that says a lot 😭

Encore

I don't know what happened but I'm sure before the concert Krystle was in front of me, then beside me and after the chaos calmed down I just realized that she was already behind me 🤣

*Mamsh, kung nababasa mo ito patawad baliw na baliw ako buhay na patunay ka niyan hahaha I love you thank you for buying the ticket, pinadala mo pa sa akin nung pandemic, at sa paghintay sa mga bagay na hindi tayo sigurado. Hahaha Willing akong samahan ka ulit sa standing area, sabihin mo lang 🤗*

Tapos nagkaroon na kami ng oras para pag-usapan na ang gwapo ni Taka huling gwapong gwapo ako kay Toru nag-announce ng registration of marriage eeh punyeta Takahiro umamin ka hahahaha

Everyone was so hyped for We Are. Krystle asked me what song I would like to hear (she has an idea of the setlist as she attended the Taiwan leg of the tour), was it We Are or Wherever You Are and I said that I love them too much I'd accept whatever they give and it was this next song.

16. Wherever You Are

I was lucky to have attended all their concerts here in Manila and lucky enough to watch this song performed live for the third time. But I know there were also first-timers among the crowd so I am happy they got to watch and sing along with this live. 

I think this was the first time Taka let us sing the bridge part of the song. He was trying to guide us by doing hand signals like raising two fingers for futari then one finger for ichiban my god I love him and he also love us he screamed towards the end of the bridge "I love you guys so much!"

And just as I thought that my love story with Takahiro was about to begin, here comes Yamashita Toru, going at the part of the stage where I was near, and did his guitar solo right there. Motherf*cker don't want to lose a single soul under his leash he did that for me to claim me back and sir yes sir I am all yours because I have that guitar solo recorded on my phone to remind me who I really am 🤣

I don’t remember what Taka exactly said but by this time we were all screaming crazy because it seems that we’re getting another song, not included on the setlist from other tour stops.

17. Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer

Wild. Crazy. Fun. We can definitely rerun the whole concert and we’d still be full of energy. All were jumping. Singing along. Chanting. Screaming. 

"THIS IS MY OWN JUDGMENT"

"KANZEN KANKAKU DREAMER"

Taka for the last time: "Make some noise Manila!"

And we did. We were so loud, exhausted yes but we probably wanted to show them how happy we were for giving us one last song so we gave our all for the last time, at least for tonight and the concert ends. 🤧

Screams were louder when all of them went to the stage. Ryota and Toru were throwing their picks. Tomoya threw his drum stick and Taka… threw his water bottle and straw… separately 🤣

Then Toru and Taka were throwing away the shirts that they wore. Taka’s aim was so far it made it to the box area 💪🏻

Not sure if the throwing of things happened before the group photo but what I am sure of is that we've come a long way from the first time they were here last 2016. And I hope they keep on returning to us. 🫶

Was that Toru who screamed “ありがとう Manila!” towards the end? but whoever said that, I say thank you too for choosing to come to Manila.

I had so much fun that night. I didn’t catch anything but kuya who was in our area, was kind enough to share with us the drum stick that he caught and allowed us to take a photo with it. Thank you po!

We missed ONE OK ROCK so much and I hope they had as much fun as we did. Let's make it out alive until they return. We'll be waiting 🍻

[Platinum A ticket holder na pinili yung side na yun para kay Toru pero patay na patay kay Takahiro mahal ko na yata talaga siya Lord handa po akong bumati ng happy father's day sa kanya basta siya po yung tatay ng anak ko shet ang lala pero mas malala kung nabasa niyo hanggang dito hahahahaha 🤣]

#LTWTManila [2022.07.16]

Disclaimer: This concert sum-up is written by someone who got lucky to attend the concert because of her best friend-- a Louis Tomlinson fan ♥

The concert was supposed to start at 8:00PM so most if not all of the concert attendees were already at the venue. Every time a crew goes on stage, fans go crazy haha. There was one time when fans went screaming so loud because other fans showed a poster (?) of One Direction. ♥ Around 8:45 or 8:50, the lights went off the first song played. 

1. We Made It

The verse belongs to Louis, but the chorus resonated inside Araneta because everyone was singing along, word per word. It even became louder when Louis shouted, “LET’S HEAR YOU SING!” before the chorus. Truly, Filipino concert goers never disappoint. ♥

2. Drag Me Down

Just the intro of this song and everyone went wild. I am not very familiar with One Direction songs so it was after the concert that I knew that this was a 1D song. 

Louis: “Alright Manila, I want to hear you sing every single word”. 

Louis needed not to say this because everyone really sang every word of all the songs. ALL THE SONGS. (Shoutout to the girl behind us who sang all the songs, even the 1D songs, perfectly. Like if she’ll join the Singing Bee Louis Tomlinson version, she’d definitely nail it haha. Fans are awesome human beings. ♥)

3. Don’t Let It Break Your Heart

Louis talked to us before singing this song and these are some of the things that I remembered / understood 😅:

 “MANILA SCREAM!” 

“I f*ckin’ love the Philippines. Without you guys, this show would not exist so thank you”

and we screamed out loud like crazy haha! I always love that part of the concert when the artist/band would talk to us or tell us to do something and we always deliver. ♥

I LOVE THIS SONG. I am not very familiar with Louis’ songs but prior to this concert, I listened to his songs and this one’s my favourite.  

Life gets hard and it gets messed up When you give so much, but it's not enough When the high's too high, and the low's too low When you love someone and they let you go

Don't you let it kill you Even when it hurts like hell Oh, whatever tears you apart Don't let it break your heart Time takes time to heal it You can't do it by yourself Oh, whatever tears you apart Don't let it break your heart

Such a comfort song. ♥

4. Two of Us

“The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead”

And the crowd goes ☹️☹️☹️ . Louis sang the lyrics as if telling the story and it really matched the tone of the song. 

I also like this song. I like most of his ballads. ♥

5. Always You

I am glad that when concerts were finally allowed in the Philippines, the audience were not restricted to sing along with the artists. There’s a different kind of bliss when the crowd sings in perfect unison to the artists’ songs. 

Louis: “SING!”

Crowd in perfect unison:  I'm wastin' my time When it was *always you, always you

*Shoutout to my bestfriend who pointed at Louis every time she sang the “always you” part. Haha. I love you. Thank you for bringing me to this concert ♥

6. Change

I LOVE THE GUITAR SOLO TOWARDS THE END OF THE SONG. ♥

7. 7

Louis: “Love the f*ckin’ lights Manila!” ♥♥♥

Funny conversation of me and my bestfriend during this song:

Me: Anong kanta ito? J: 7 Me: (iniisip ko baka ang narinig niya ay “pang-ilang kanta ito” kaya inulit ko) Ano ngang kanta? J: 7 Me: (Isa pa. Baka mali lang ako ng rinig) Ano title nung kanta? J: 7 yung title.

But I guess whether the question is “Pang-ilang kanta na ito?” or “Anong title ng kanta?”, my bestfriend’s answer was correct for both questions haha

8. Fearless

Louis giving the limelight to the band ♥ 

9. Only The Brave

I love fan projects. Watching your favourite artist / band on a concert in your country is a gift not every country in the world could experience and fan projects are what fans could give these artists / bands in return.

For this song, our section was given orange stickers to project orange light. From my point of view, I could not clearly see whether we achieved the rainbow lights, but I saw a tweet under the #LTWTManila hashtag and I think it was a success ♥ This is just 1/3 of the fan project prepared by the PH fanbase of Louis. The dedication of the fans to their favourite artists always amazes me. ♥

*after the song*

I think Louis saw our fan project which is why he exclaimed “Manila, one more time, I f*ckin’ love you!” That or he just really loves us. ♥ Earlier, he gave the limelight to the band, this time, he gave credits to the crew. We cheered for them as much as we cheered for Louis because everyone who were part of the show deserves to be recognized. Grateful to everyone who made this show possible. They made many fans happy that night. ♥

10. Habit

Sobrang intense ng sigaw dito sa paligid ko hindi ko alam kung (A) yung best friend ko yung sumigaw na nasa left side ko (B) yung nasa right side ko (C) yung nasa likod ko o (D) lahat sila hahahaha 

11. Copy of a Copy of a Copy

Louis: “Let’s hear you sing, ___” (not sure if that was “Araneta” or “Manila”. Walang subtitle guys huwag niyo akong i-judge please hahaha)

*PH fans in normal volume* Young man, hush your crying, dry your tears away Nothing is original, there's nothing left to say You won't be the first or be the last to bleed Every broken heart as far as your eye can see

*the person behind us, singing along in 80 decibels, full of emotions* "IT'S A COPY OF A COPY OF A COPY!!!"

Big shoutout to the person seated behind us. She was singing along at the top of her lungs the whole night, and sometimes a note higher.  😂

12. Defenceless

13. Beautiful War

I am not sure why but the crowd seemed calmer during this song. Maybe most of us were busy preparing our props for the fan project. Seated sections were given stickers to make their lights either blue or red (depending on the section) while the VIP standing section raised their banner “you are worth fighting for” ♥

That part of the song when a band member sang along with Louis. That duet part was beautiful. ♥ 

14. Little Black Dress

The crowd goes extra crazy when it’s a One Direction song. ♥ 

He said something after the song but I honestly did not understand what he said. 🤣

15. Walls

Cheeseburger. IYKYK. 😆

Encore: Talk before the song:

”Manila, I’ve been waiting to comeback to the Philippines.” ♥

I did a little research and read that the only Southeast Asian countries included in the tour were Indonesia and Philippines. I am truly happy for all the Filipino fans who waited patiently for this concert. ♥ 

16. Through the Dark

Again, the crowd just goes extra crazy when it’s a One Direction song. 😁 *after the song*

Louis loving the ocean of lights. Louis and the band taking a picture with the Filipino crowd (sobrang gulo nila sana may maayos tayong kuha, or video ba yun? haha)

17. Kill My Mind

*before the song*

“Manila let me get a little bit softy for a second.”

I think Louis mentioned the town where he was from saying it was just a small town and expressed his gratitude to his fans, that he will not be there if not for them. ♥

Also, not sure if he was a band member or a crew but someone was celebrating his birthday that night and all Louis needed to do was give us the first note and we all sang “Happy birthday” to... I think his name was Steve? Haha. Happy birthday, Steve! 🎂 (Pero Louis, ang taas po. Pang Lupang Hinirang sa boxing event ni Manny Pacquiao yung key. 😂)

Kill My Mind is the last song and the last of the fan project prepared and one I am most nervous about because I am not sure how to do it 😂 Thankful to the fan beside me because we just copied what she did. Louis saw what we were doing, copied us and did it on stage. Congratulations to Louis Tomlinson PH and all the PH fans for the successful fan projects. ♥

And now, the exciting part:

After the bridge part of Kill My Mind, just before the chorus, Louis went down the stage, the closest the fans on the VIP sections could get to him. That fanservice capped off the night ♥ 

Other things I remember from the concert:

Before the concert, a kind fan gave out  bracelets for free. Thank you so much for your generosity ♥

From the seated section, we could see that the bouncers on the VIP section gave out cups of water. I thought this would be just before the concert but it went on the whole night. It was my first time seeing this on a concert. ♥ 

FANS SINGING ALONG TO TEENAGE DIRTBAG PERFECTLY AFTER THE CONCERT. 

I am not as lucky as most fans because my favourite bands/groups/artist rarely or have never had a concert in the Philippines. So I am really happy when PH fans get to see their favourites for the first time. I am so happy for my bestfriend who finally got to watch Louis in a concert (nagstart lang tayo sa cupsleeve event tapos naging concert na ♥) I hope more fans get to see their favourites in the Philippines. ♥

Thank you, Louis Tomlinson for making me experience the happiness of attending a concert that I longed for so much when the pandemic happened. The pandemic stole this experience to all of us, but we’ll get it back, one show at a time. 😊

Throwback Thursday.

4 years ago, I posted this after I saw CNBLUE for the first time.

My friends were not within my reach but at least, we were all there. 😉 Endless thanks to generous people for having ticket giveaways 🙏

First fanmeet experience and it was a blast. I got an autographed poster and highfive(d) with Kim Soo Hyun. My everlasting thanks to Jakarta for letting me meet awesome human beings (CNBLUE, VAMPS, KSH) 3 events and counting!

Kim Soo Hyun answering the questions in paragraph and making the life of the translator difficult. xD

His answer at the previous question was also long but the translator nailed it. When his answer was long again (w/o letting the translator translate it first) she was like “you want me to leave?” hahaha. Fun. #kimsoohyunfmjkt

CNBLUE. That was a beautiful night. I made the right decision to see you again. I hope my ‘again’ will not end yet. :)
