Event: CNBLUE Can't Stop in Manila

We braved the heavy typhoon Mario from Pampanga to Manila yesterday just to attend last night's concert of CNBLUE which was held at SMART Araneta Coliseum! I know some would say that we're so crazy going all the way there knowing that the country was in such state but it would greatly affect us more if we didn't see them performing live here. Honestly, we were also hoping that the production would consider announcing the suspension of the event but I guess, they decided on what they think should really be done.

Since no announcements were made, we decided to leave early even though the event was in the evening to give way for the traffic, slow drive and such. Surprisingly, we arrived there more or less than 2 hours. Just the same travel time from Pampanga to Manila. We're thankful that we arrived safe and sound at the event's place.

I know my outfit was just so-so because of the heavy rain, I decided to wear shorts and just use Fitflops instead of dressing up in case there will be flood in areas we're going to pass. We were also equipped with the fangirl necessities like lightsticks, merch, tickets (of course!) and more!!!

We left around 11:00AM and arrived around 1PM in Manila so we had lunch at Pepper Lunch in Gateway. It's my first to try their dish. Yum! (that's my sister on the left. They always mistook us as twins!)

Let's start with the set of concert photos now, shall we? :) OMG! I'm on my fangirl mode and I still have a hangover which I think would last for another week or two. Right now, please cooperate with the loads of photos. Don't worry, I will link at the end of the post the other photos I have on the event.

A shot before the stage performance. Look at the towel, it really glows right? That's a good thing because CNBLUE can see me from afar. ^_^

This is their first stage! Wow! Nice set! All of the sets were actually nice! ♥

The boys! Waaaahhhh!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Jonghyun on guitars! He got nicer bod this time. It's all because of his sport. :)

Minhyuk on drums. So nice to see him again!  

Jonghyun again! So handsome, right? :) 

Main vocalist Yonghwa! The leader of the group! Love his voice forever! 

Jungshin with Yonghwa together. This is the part I nearly cried. Omo! I am so touched. This is a ballad song here.

While Junghin and Yonghwa were having their moment, Jonghyun and Minhyuk were together. Bromance? Hahaha.. Love these two! My first bias is Jonghyun and Minhyuk was second. 

Little surprise of the fans for Jungshin's birthday few days ago. A very cute cake for him!!! ♥

Everybody's singing for the birthday boy. ^.^ 

Selca with the  fans who watched the concert. 

Like any other events, there were freebies that were given away at the day of the event! Most were from different fans, even international ones. Thank you to those who gave these freebies to fans. Feel free to comment below if you're the one who gave these away. Gomawo! ♥

More photos can be seen on my personal FB account which I made public for you. We had more than 400+ photos excluding videos but we trimmed it down to 200++.

The night was incredibly awesome even though the venue wasn't packed with spectators. It really is indeed raining very very hard and there were a lot of places that were flooded not only in Metro Manila but other places as well. Boices did not take risk. The members who were very professional and kind understood the situation. Yonghwa even said that he will pray for us and very thankful for all those who graced the event. Minhyuk said in full Filipino, Salamat sa pagpunta kahit may bagyo! Oh it really touched their hearts! Ours as well! ♥

We are currently uploading videos and I will update this post once we had it all up and running. For now, enjoy some of the finish videos we have uploaded below. 

These Days

In My Head

Sleepless Nights

Until now, I am so hyped that I always look at the photos and watch at the videos again and again. I guess that's the disease Kpop concerts always bring here. Hahaha. I feel that this will last after a week or two or perhaps a month. When Super Junior was here, my fangirl life was on for a month. I guess it will slow down this time since this is my 2nd concert with these boys. :)

This post just can't contain my happiness at all! I got to see them again and met new KPOP friends. In a few months from now, I will need to experience the same feeling again so I better need to get my head straight.

See you  next year again Boices! ♥
