okay, so let me start by saying, "I will never again betray my gut feeling".... [yes!]

May 17,2014 2NE1's 5th year Anniversary celebrated in my country, the Philippines, with an ALL or NOTHING concert.

...............

MY STORY

my story starts with my VIP ticket....... yah, I was on standing VIP and I might really say SVIP gives you lots of experiences you will never EVER forget.....

[I'll just skip the early parts where we get to experience the crazy lines before the concert]

although I was already thinking of standing on the sies parts of the VIP section, my friends insisted we would stand in the middle because you can see everything there. So I say "okay let's do that", not even expecting that EVERYTHING meant EVERYTHING....... vision wise, and experience wise,,,, it was a crazy place to be.... all fans were so hyped up to see 2ne1 in full blast. so it was like a battle all through out.

well, I started standing in the middle part on the 5th row before the concert, and as soon as the concert started I managed to push through the 2nd row of the center VIP section. But then, it was not a good place to be for people with low stamina. People from the back kept on pushing forward and pushing from side to side [to get a clearer view] but others kept on resisting so it was like a domino effect. When one person moves, everyone moves with them. 

Like come one people! can't we just stay in one place?!.....

yah for a moment it was a good place to be since you can see the artists in FULL BLAST including the dancers and get to feel all the stage pyro too... but right in time for WINNER's stage the crowd got so freaking crazy again!

[yeah, yung totoo VIP people, you went there for WINNER noh!] they kept on pushing and pushin forward... until such time I dropped my phone... paket!

I was unable to see CL's stage because I was preoccupied with looking for my phone.... my videos were there!!! by the time I popped my head up from the crowd, CL's stage was almost over.. yeah right.....

I wasn't successful that time though, so I decided it was time to move out. Slowly I moved back from my place until I managed to get out of the concert grounds, took some time to breathe and went in and stood in the back portion instead. but hell yeah I enjoyed it more when I was at the back. I think everyone there were those tired ones who draw back from the crazy crowd as well.                              

They were all  just standing there watching 2ne1.... But here I am jumping up and down like crazy on my own.

until such time the concert was over. As soon as  the house lights went on, I immediately went back for my phone.... good thing and THANKFULLY, this one man found it... oh thank you kuya!!!!! and yes, I can now prove the durability of a NOKIA phone.... awesome!

and yeah, I was planning to sell out my phone as soon as I get back from the concert, [although I'm not sure if someone would buy it] now I don't want to anymore. it hold too much memories, I just wanna frame it! 

and yes, you might wanna hear my lightstick box story.... ahahhah!!!

so I was battling through out the concert right, but did you know all the while, until such time I went out of the VIP area, I was clipping my light stick box in between my thighs?.... like wahahahah!!! I let go of my phone but never my box! [you might not know, I'm a box keeper..... well just because it's easier to keep things when they have boxes and they last longer...]

......................

crazy story right? ahhahaha

now I'm not saying SVIP is a nightmare. SVIP is AWESOME as long as you know what to do..... and yes, I believe from that experience I absolutely know now what to do..... [, I'll just skip sharing that one.... but if you really wanna know, you can leave me a comment... I'd be happy to share some tips! hahhaha feeling like a concert goer expert now!]

......................

HIGHLIGHTS

now there were a few highlights from this concert that made it even more memorable.

1) WINNER came in with their buss curtains drawn up.... so I seriously saw them pass by riding their buss on their way to the backstage because they didn't even bother to put the curtains down. so much fan service.... 

2) I got in close contact with my friend FIVI MIN's crush.... Mr. Hae! hahahah.... we were falling in line that time when we had this quick communication because of the VIP priority number thing.....

3) I got to see HWANGSABU in person!.... like yeah guys!!!! no joke seriously...... but boohoo! it was the time I pushed back from the crazy crowd so my phone was still not with me... [whew I hope it was though, I wouldn't have second thoughst of asking a photo from him.... but still, do you believe me guys???? you do right??]

4) of course, it is seeing 2ne1, hi-tech oppas and Winner in full blast..... it was like a 2-3 meter distance from you..... it was seriously an awesome night..... gaaah!!!

.......................

SEEING THE STARS

one of the first thing friends would ask me is "how do they look" now let me tell you how they appeared to be that night

CL was the usual CL that we see on screen. It's just like a she was ripped out of the monitor. So the normal for her. [but of course, charisma overflows 100times more live.] and yes, CL's thighs.... LOL

DARAwas still the same too... but her abs looked great... most esp seeing it live...

BOM was so thin. she doesn't seem that thin on screens though. she seemed smaller than CL.... hahaha

MINZY, now this is one person I never expected to be soooo gorgeous. [biases aside] seriously.... and although, I had my brain programed into looking at my bias wrecker, BOM that night, she absolutely reminded me that she was my bias.....it only deepened my love for her....

now going to WINNER.... Not all of you knew that my bias is JINWOO, and bias wrecker is MINO; but I absolutely had my eyes all for Mino that night.

MINO looks so handsome really. he was actually tan, like TOP tan. And it was a tan that was so even and looked really good on him. On to of that, is face was pore-less! and not to mention the muscles... hahahah!

but like in the previous concert that I went to, I was expecting that someone would snatch my eyes again because of their different image live. and yes, it happened again this time. 

LEE SEUNG HOON, my official HEART-SNATCHER [well he ranks 3 on my WINNER bias list actually]. But seriously, he was so different on a live stage, so handsome! not the usual Hoon that we see...

And this is not a one-man-opinion.... almsot all the ACES who went to the concert says so too.....

you might think I'm changing bias right now because of the two rappers that I kept on talking about. but dont worry, Jinwoo is still my bias.

JINWOO though, was like Dara and CL..... feels just like ripped off from the screen. the usual.... but you can really feel how warm he is on live stage. he is like a waving machine, he never stops waiving and smiling... really cute!.

okay, you might also be expecting me to talk about the maknaes, but sorry, I wasn't really paying attention to them.. although I had a fancam of Nam Tae and his unforgettable "Ju'llibee" moment that was sooo cute!.

........................

Although I can FULL ADMIT I missed almost half of the show because I was busy battling with my co-blackjacks...... I can say that that was an experience I WILL NEVER FORGET..... and yes, indeed happy to spend an anniversary with them.... 2ne1 is LOVE!

well, sometime's it's the experience that makes it even more memorable...... it's just a state of mind you know.

Now, you might ask me if I would go for it again?

my answer is YES!! I definitely will![i know now what to do right???].... hahahaha those memories that will stick in my mind forever..... BLACKJACK FIGHTING!!!
