130907 KPOP REPUBLIC EXPERIENCE

September 7, 2013 was the best night of my life. I was able to see my ultimate bias.

We were there around 10:30 am, I think. I need to be early because i won the PRESS CON PASS. I was like crying when I saw my ticket number being picked. I was in shock for the whole day. I wasn't able to think properly. I sleep for like 2 hours and need to wake up for my class, then I receive a call from my sis syaing that I won the pass. I was like OMYGAHD. This is so awesome. I won in the last draw. Going back to the day of the concert. They started giving the name tag around 2pm and they said that go back around 4 pm since the presscon would start around 5pm. I was with my dorm mate, she won the press pass too. We were like at the end of the queue, then I saw my new kpop friends (I hope you read this guys), they called me and told me to go with them in the line. They were like near to the door of the cinema area. We waited again for like 1 hour and a half since they are having some problems with the fansite noonas.

THE PRESS CON

There was a briefing, we were not allowed to take picture, no rowdy behavior, no shouting. They said that it's a PRESS CON not a FAN MEETING. We were lucky enough to see them since it is open for the media only. We were seated a few meters away from them. The set up is like, there's 5 rows for the press. Then the elevated part have two rows still for the press and on the third row was the start of the seating for the presscon pass winners. We're on the third row, right side I think. (Let's use our wonderful imagination) Then it started around 5 something I think. Crispi Crunch with Soomin of April Kiss went first. Then Dal Shabet.

Then it's EXO-K's turn. We waited for like around 3-5 minutes for them. Then we heard the crowd cheering for them and the feels that I have wanted to go out but I can't let it out because I might be escorted outside. When they entered, I was like starstrucked. A feeling of awe was there. I was like stunned. To breathe, the same air as them. HAHAHA. They look the same as they look in the MV's or vid or pics by fansite noonas but the difference is they are 10x much more awesome and handsome.Chanyeol is handome in pictures but in person he's like a god. He's beauty is exceptional. I swear he's tall, hansome and talented. He's so amazing. Chanyeol look so handsome in their uniform. Theya re wearing a gray blazer (I'm not sure, I felt like I was coolr blind for a moment)  with a stripe necktie and maroon pants, they are also wearing a pink nametag. They look so hot. Really really hot.
I was like staring at Chanyeol for the whole time. Then I turned my attention to Su Ho was seating right next to him, he looks lost (haha). he kept looking around while Se Hun was looking comfortable, drinking some bottled water. Se Hun is so tall, he's as tall as Yeol. Kai is so handsome, and his skin is fair. He's handsome and he doesn't look snob. I realy thought he was snob or something since he looks cold in many pictures. D.O is so cute, he's so small. He seems scared, yeah, from what I observed (yeah, I like to observe, one of my fave hobbies).  Then, there was KaiSoo, having they're own little moment, sitting with each other. And Baekhyun, he is so friggin' cute, you know that feeling when you want to pinch someone's cheek. I really want to hug him, he's so adorable. I was really spazzing at Yeol and Baek from time to time. The host of the presscon is Jinri Park, she's a Korean. I find it funny since when she was speaking english at first, EXO-K was like nodding then she translated it in Korean, they slightly looked at her and nodded.  Jinri Park is a model so she has a very y body and she's hot and pretty, I was like trying to hold my laughter after seeing Baek, Kai and Yeol stare at her from time to time and Baek was like staring at her for a long time since she's standing beside him.
I was copying the other fans who was waving at them, then I tried to wave my hands then Baekhyun looked at our direction and WAVED BACK. HE WAVED BACK. I was holding my inner feels. Then, I waved at them again, this time it's Su Ho, HE WAVED BACK, TOO. What made my heart skip was Chanyeol, he was waving at the other side at first. I though he wasn't looking at our direction since he's sitting on the left side and we're on the right side but the me who is persistent kept on waving at him, then he looked at our direction and WAVED BACK. I was like, 'Kill me now. Kill me now. Kill me now.'
The questions are the typical ones, I can't remember them all but you can just find them in tumblr or facebook. After the interview, and picture taking, Chanyeol said, 'Mahal ko kayo' (I love you all). Some of the fans squealed but I was able to hold it since I don't want to be escorted outside.
The presscon ended around 6:30 and the concert starts at 7. I ran from the 4th floor of the Gateway mall, then towards the Red gate where I was supposed to enter but the people that I am with was going to the green gate. I am directionally challenged, I at directions. I was like running so fast, just like Yooames Bond (Maetugi, Yoo Jae Suk, my 2nd idol in running man, i love Song Ji Hyo especially Bad Ji Hyo), jumping at the stairs like a wolf (Lu Han). Yeah, I felt like I was shooting 'Running Man' at that moment. I was even dodging the people who walks towards the opposite direction. I was like a ninja. (The things you do for EXO). I was able to reach the red gate and went to Door 10 and when I entered Araneta, it was small and our view was like amazing. I was at the centermost, I can totally see them so close, I was in front of the LCD something, and I can see how they will perform.
THE CONCERT
I'm with my ladycreampuffs (check out her fanfic), I wore my wolf shirt (I am wearing it while typing this, to feel everything again). When it's EXO-K's turn, I stood up and started to wave my lightsticks. I looked around and saw how wild the crowd is.
Wolf, This is the first song that they sang, and it was OT6. I was like spazzing and jumping around and singing with them. It was like I was singing screamo at that time since I was shouting while singing.  I tried to take a pic but failed. The feeling of seeing them sing and dance live was overwhelming. I was like saying, they came out of the laptop/ tv screen. I can't believe I am seeing them dancing in front of a huge crowd.
History, I wasn't expecting them to dance this. I was really expecting Mama. I was able to take a vid of it (I'll try posting my vid that ), I wasn't able to watch the rorutine well since I was staring at them in the big screen since I wanna see their beautiful and gorgeous faces.
Then they introduced themselves, they said they miss the Filipino fans. They are gals to be back again. I am not sure if this part whent first or after XOXO but Baekhyun sang a bit of 'Hawak Kamay' since Yeol shouted 'Hawak Kamay'. They also said some Filipino words like, 'Mahal ko kayo.', 'Kumusta?' and I can't remember or are there more (senior moment, sorry my short-term memory is bad).
XOXO,they all seated at the stairs set-up on the stage. I was spazzing at that moment and was staring at Yeol. My heart flutttered while hearing them sing this song. Just hug and kiss me, guys.
365, I was really expecting them to sing this. This is the part where they throw the stuff toys, the dog stuff toys that are freaking adorable. There's a KaiSoo moment, and Se Hun being happy and D.O. doing his own thing, Su Ho roaming around and there was BAEKYEOL. The adorable BAEKYEOL moment, Chanyeol proposed to Baek (insert squealing), it was Baek who started flirting with Yeol, then then he proposed, then Yeol slipped and laid down the stage laughing because of what happened, he stood up and blamed the floor. Baek laughed at him too. They wall wnet to the stairs again and line up and danced they '365 dance'.
EXO said, Filipino fans are good, gorgeous and many more appraisal words. (I don't know why,  but there's a sorry vid from PH fans about what happened yesterday, I don't know what happened but I hope EXO sees that vid).
The last song was GROWL, I was freaking spazzing again. I jumped up and down and sang again like there's no tomorrow. I was very very very happy to see them perfrom GROWL as Ot6 :) I don't know what to say since no words can explain how great they were.
OVERALL REVIEW

The concert was good, though, the tickets were a bit pricey. Either way, I enjoyed so much. Seeing my *ehem* FUTURE HUSBANF *ehem* was overwhleming. It's a bit short though, but it's fine. I was hoping to see more of them. For the first concert that I have attended, the experience was really DAEBAK! I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT I FEEEEEEEEEEEEL!
If I were to rate it, 8 out of 10. I think. THought short, I felt satisfied. :)
I hope to see them again as OT12 :) <3
Notes: There might be some wrong spelling and grammar. Please bear with me. Sorry for the long post :) EXCITED MUCH!
