WOW! Just plain WOW!
Before the announcement of who's going to perform on this Friendship Day Concert, I have already thought that it was SHINee. So at that time, I decided that I'll do whatever it takes (thinking of the price range I'm willing to shell out) to watch this.
And when the performers were finally announced to the public as well as the date and venue of the concert, I was willing to camp-out at CCP just so I could watch this. But it was not made easy (can't blame them though *though i'm feeling good since I was able to watch the concert haha*) by the organizers because the ticket will be done by electronic raffle so you need to sign-up.
I had the feeling I was not going to be drawn. It was because I never won any raffle contest or even a bingo game in my life (okay, I have won some bingo games but those were easy patterns and no bet involved). So when I saw the 360 winners out of 8000+ who signed-up, I was kind of expecting that I won't win but still gloomy at the same time. I was even pouting and sighing from disbelief at my cubicle that Det caught me and asked me what's wrong.
And so while watching MAMA 2009, I was sad (for not winning) and quite excited (for the MAMA) at the same time. Then by Tuesday, I saw someone posted that they have tickets and asking who wants it from a blogsite. Of course, I emailed her once and tell her my interest. But unfortunately, many already professed so we have to bid monetarily. It was quite pricey but the thought of me missing the concert has gotten my sanity so I bid so high that by noontime, I was the highest bidder. I thought I would get the ticket by Wednesday but the girl told me there was someone who bid higher than me. So there goes my hope down in the drain.
Come Thursday, my heart has finally accepted albeit with sadness that I won't be able to go for today's concert. Though I asked my sister to ask her classmates who're sure to be going if they still know where I can get tickets, I already am without hope. Fortunately, I had to attend a client meeting so I was distracted (lol, work was a mere distraction). But by 10:30am, my sister's classmate texted me asking if I still do not have tickets and she'll find ways for me to have one. This got me so excited so I was so pumped-up during the client meeting with just a bit perkiness involved. By noon after we got back to the office from the meeting, she texted me that she gave my ticket to my sister.
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!
I may not be rich. But I'm proud of such good connections that a day before the concert, everything just fell into place. And yes, thank you God! :)
So the whole afternoon was spent working while listening to my Winterplay album and some Mighty Mouth because I already know SHINee by heart. I need some refreshers to the other two Korean performers. LOL. Yes, I did buy the ticket even if it was originally for free but it was cheap compared to the Super Junior albums I order abroad.
I decided to take a leave today and then go to work tomorrow for the missed working day. I arrived at CCP by 9:30-10:00am. And yes, the concert is still by 5pm but we have been given temporary tickets that we need to surrender by 12noon for the real one. It was tiring but you could smell fangirls and fanboys' excitement in the air. And people are discussing You're Beautiful ep 15 so I was not bored although I hate that I was able to get some spoilers even when I don't want to listen. But it was cool. I was just too excited.
I was a social butterfly. I don't know anyone initially except for my sister's classmate who are with other friends (hers and my sister whom I don't know). So I get to know the Miriam girls and the friend of the Miriam girls who are my age and fangirls I can relate to. Except that they spend bucks attending concerts outside the country. But they're not the typical rich fangirls who boasts around that they were able to do this because they have money. They were so coooool and they're going all the way for these groups because they love them. If only I have the money and the guts to spend it the way they do. So yes, we had lunch at MOA around 1:30pm because they gave out the tickets late already.
By 4:00pm, we were back at CCP because we need to. And everyone was squealing by the right side of the balcony (outside) because SHINee's practicing and during breaks, the boys would take a peek on what's happening outside so the fangirls are on the rage. Each member's fanclub are even doing chants of the name of the members.
By this time, excitement has multiplied already for several times since the morning that even if you step on the shoes of someone, they would not mind it because their only concern is to get into the theater already. There are lines formed already for those who have tickets. But there was a long line for those who are still waiting for the chance to be given free tickets.
15 minutes before 5:00pm or few minutes earlier than this (I'm just estimating, I don't have the time to look at my watch because I was too excited to think clearly). We were able to enterthe theater. :)
