A VIP dream came true - BIGBANG's ALIVE TOUR in MANILA


Omona! Otteoke?  How will I start?

Well, unlike the other people we came to the venue at around 4.30PM.  Hmm, it was jam packed already.  People were on queue which I guess most of them are VIP 3 and Gen Ad ticket holders.  My sister and I automatically went to buy the crown light stick.  It’s a must on a Bigbang concert though it’s pricey. :P

We even line up for the Samsung bangle.  Hello?! It’s free so might as well take the opportunity, but we just let out a sigh seeing the Galaxy Note 2 and the 10.1 Note Tablet.

After that, we decided to go to MOA, to eat and along the way we saw the one selling the crown head band.  He was doing it in stealth mode haha… Plus the one giving the finger lasers, yes.  We got it for free.

We came back past 6PM since they said that the entrance will open that time, but when we came back.  It’s still the same gates are still closed.  I got irked out by the line and I decided just to wait for it to move since we already got a reserved seat.  So, we just loitered around and went to the center of the Coral Way Entrance wherein there are less people compared on the sides. It seems like the KPOP Fairy is over us since when the gates opened we were there and it’s okay to enter there. Bbabbam shabam!!! We went to the second floor but the lady told us that there is no signal for us to enter since they are still fixing some things inside.

When we were ushered in, I can’t believe how close we are to the stage on that kind of area…  I mean not close as you can see their sweat, but close enough to see what’s happening all over the concert.  An hour passed, but the seats aren’t that filled yet then just now I’ve learned that the people are still in queue.

I’ll just do it in bullet form the special memories I have with the ALIVE TOUR.

  •           BIGBANG MV’s are played, but when GD’s CrayOn was played the crowd just got wild. I was crossing my fingers that he will sing the whole song.
  •          When the people from the Gen Ad section started to scream we knew it was the start, since they can see the boys going inside the capsules.

  •           Taeyang doesn’t have a good relationship with jackets. :D  He eventually removed it after the first song.  On his solo after he walked in, he immediately removed it too.  Please don’t dress this guy anymore. (fangirl scream!!!)
  •           Taeyang and Seungri’s MANILA BABY!!!
  •           Taeyang “Manila is hot.  The Ladies here in Manila are hot!!!” (yes sir! We are one of a kind.)
  •           Seungri kept on saying I LOVE THIS COUNTRY.  I LOVE THE PHILIPPINES.  WE WILL COME BACK.
  •           Daesung’s effort to speak in English and eventually said MAHAL KO KAYO.  He was the one who made the SANDARA WAVE.
  •           GD and TOP’s stage.  I don’t know what TOP ate, but he was practically hyped out that night.  He even mimics how the dancers walked during KNOCK OUT.
  •          Noticed that GD got a bruise on his left forehead.  He could’ve bump under the stage or so.  But, I think it made him distracted.
  •           They used the segway during GARA GARA GO.  YB entered using a bicycle.


  •           Number 1 was played. HA! Since it’s their English song and I knew it by heart.  I sang my heart out.
  • CAFE - Top's bedroom voice plus Daesung. OMG!!!
  •  There was a scene were TOP was left alone and he started to walk like he was a model on a runway and as he reached the stage near VIP 3 he suddenly sang his part in LOVE SONG.  waaah!!! I'm not a TOP bias but I screamed like there's no tomorrow.
  •           SEUNGRI’s solo stage.  This was a well planned stage.  I love how there was a trunk and dancers are coming out.  Even a pseudo-man hole on stage with a dance coming out of it too.  It has a Mission Impossible vibe on it.
  •           On Seungri’s stage he showed his dancing skills.  Gosh! That Panda is good. And he does look so good in person.  So adorable *pinches cheeks* At the end of his performance he gave a thumbs up sign to the crowd.
  •          Daesung’s stage he didn’t fly. L  but, really Dae is like an angel.  His voice literally rocked the Arena.  Plus, he really has a cute butt. :P  People were singing with him on the “yeah” part and “nanananana” :D
  •          TAEYANG’s solo stage 1,2,3 SCREAM!!!!!! Prior to this there was a background of a dragon, which I thought was for GD, then YB came out. Ha! Naman Barabwa and Wedding Dress.  At the end he ripped off his shirt!!!! Goodness!!!! I don’t know I think I screamed out my soul that night.
  •          A shirtless YB would be enough for me.  During the encore he was like that and dancing making body waves. Good heavens I will not forget that moment ever.
  •           Seungri got a Panda and he let it sit on the center stage.  I enjoyed watching him playing with it and it’s even the first one you will see on the encore vid.
  •           There was also a part that TOP and Seungri should lie down, but they didn’t so it was only GD and Dae, so after that GD was stopping himself from laughing and Daesung was smiling.
  •           TOP pouring water to Daesung and splashing water to the fans.  They got wet because of TOP hahaha..          

  •       Fans throw an inflatable crayola (pink and blue).  Seungri got it and went to GD, when he saw it.  He started to do the running man dance.
  •  

Aaaaah!!! It’s endless…  though I can conclude that most of the Filipino VIPs are TOP bias.  When TOP started to sing or talk, the screams are like asdfghjsa :))

The concert was like a noraebang session/ club party in one.  I think the boys can’t hear the music in their in-ears already because they either remove it or they keep on pointing at it.  I think GD even went to the crew with regards the sounds.  It’s pretty evident on the official encore videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FzkEy0JCSc&feature=g-u-u.  If you would compare the sounds from the other Alive tours, the one here in Manila the sounds are banging loud.  The audiences are singing who cares if it’s Korean.  We know the lyrics we will sing.  Even Daesung’s high part on Fantastic Baby didn’t escape, the crowd still sang it.

Dear Bigbang,
As Seungri promised, you should come back here.  We will wait.  And by this moment I’m saving up because I’ll be on the mosh pit once you come back.  Ha! I will make sure that by that time I can see yor sweat dripping and we will have an eye to eye contact.    

Jeongmal saranghae!!!

I think October is a KPOP month for me as last year I was in Korea, for this year Bigbang came here in Manila. What's in store next year?  Hmmm.. what? My wedding with Youngbae? oh come on.. hahaha
