SiHae in Manila and the Fans

       Okay, so truthfully, I'm not the stalker kind of fan. I don't have any financial support for that. But considering that it was my birthday last Sunday, I did have money for yesterday. My parents though, wouldn't allow me since we are in the province. But after hours of persuasion, they finally gave in.

       My mom accompanied me to go to Trinoma for the mall show, which is weird, since they actually supported me in this kind of thing. They knew that I had no ticket, or that slightest of chance I might be able to see them, but they still supported me. And it was totally thrilling!

     After arriving in Trinoma at 4PM, which is an hour earlier, LOTS of fans were already there. Some got there at 7AM. It was HECTIC, fans here and there, walkin back and forth, filling the event area, the second and third floors, filling the MALL. We went to the entrance, and they said that buying a 'sorry sorry' shirt will grant entrance inside the event area. My mom and I rushed to the 'bench' store, and found yet again lots of fans who seemed to be having a panic buying for the shirt. They were in front of the stock room harassing(not really that harsh) the staff just to get their sizes. Thankfully me and my mom got the shirts on time. So, we went back again to the entrance. And this is where it all starts, pushing, pulling... it was a mess. Luckily, my mom helped me box out the fans and go to the front. They let us in as soon as mom said that we came from far away just to see them. Inside of the event area was just as messy and full just like the entrance. We went looking for some place where we can see it clearly, but found none. So what we did before it started is, we tried to push ourselves inside of the crowd. It was hard! Especially when the event started... The fans went wild, and ear-piercing screams of fans were heard as soon as the staff got out to put the chairs that SiHae were going to be sitting on. And every time they scream, the pushing continues. We've been thrown side to side, almost every time. 

When SiHae came, the fans went haywire. Louder scream were heard, and we were squished inside the crowd unable to see the two because of the hands and the cameras and the banners they were holding up high. Fortunately the big screen helped, whenever their heads would block the sight of SiHae, I would look at the big screen. I didn't even understand most of their words. But I did hear DongHae say "Namimiss kita" and "Mahal ko kayo" and Siwon's "I will pray for you all.". We waited for two hours just to look at them for fifteen minutes. But it was worth it.

After the event finished, we saw the fans gather at the backstage. Thinking this would be a chance to finally see them up close, we started to push through the crowd once again. But unfortunately, they have left the area. Me and my mom decided to meet up with my aunt and my cousin, who were there earlier than us. WE ate at a Korean restaurant and decided to go to the airport and wait for their departure.

​After a long hour of traffic, we finally arrived finding fans already waiting there. We went to the smaller crowd and waited for them. We got to talk to a lot of ELFs. Until they noticed their van, and the cars barricaded us. A few minutes after seeing their van, we still haven't seen them. It was until we saw flashes of cameras from the other side, and we rushed there to. We were able to reach the time they got out of the car, though me, being short, didn't actually see them. And that's where the stalking ended.

​It was actually a very tiring day, we went to the terminal at midnight, though my mom didn't mind that I got exams the next day. The thing is, on the way, we got into an accident. I know right, the best day was almost my worst. Thank God we weren't hurdled completely by the truck, and there were no serious injuries and only bruises. The bus's metal skin was scraped and the driver's glass was cracked and some of the debris were scattered on the floor. Thankfully another bus came shortly afterwards and we were able to go home safely.

​It was a really rare experience!Can you imagine the crowd? Out of the 700 lucky fans that got a ticket, thousands were there! The fans were really really wild! Though I hope to be stalking them again.
