I may not be the luckiest girl in the world....

But I know I'm one lucky girl... ;)

 

The Kpop group NOM debuted last September 5, 2013 with their digital single "누난 예뻐". I discovered about them last September 10 and 2 days later, I was already addicted to them as I am with EXO. ^^

Just this Saturday, September 28, they held a mall show at SM City, Iloilo. And I was there!!!!!

I was lucky enough to be there and see them but I wasn't expecting to be lucky enough to be so close to them and have a taste of my first ever fansigning event!!!

 

[The Whole Story...]

My 3 friends and I have been waiting at the event center since 3 in the afternoon, since the showwas going to start at 5. Then, we were informed that no one is allowed to enter the center if they won't buy the single for 500php. I was disappointed, since I didn't have enough money. But I was lucky to have friends like Felnor, Nove, and Ella (the 3 friends I had with me) since they gave me the remaining money I needed to buy the album, since they already had enough money to buy one for themselves. So the 4 of us bought an album each and we were to grab some seats at the 2nd row, right behind the MK Education staff. We waited...and chatted with the MK Edu staff a bit since I'm a bit fluent with Korean now...and waited...and chatted with their asst. manager...and waited...and there they were!!! They were in sight already!!! IT WAS NOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! My camera was already filming and everything was so loud that my ears were about to burst! But it was all worth it! There they were! Just a couple of feet away from me...NOM!!!!!!!! First, they performed their single "Pretty Noona"...then they surprised everybody by performing KARA's Mister...then maknae Hu got his solo doing rap, which I don't know the title of...then there came a magic show by 2 of the members, Yonggi and Yohan (it was a failure...but a cute one! xD)...then leader A.in (the one with the red hair; my UB; my bibi! xD) had a dancing solo...then members K, Yohan, and Yonggi danced to H.O.T.'s Candy and another song forgot the title of...then they all went onstage to dance to Wade Robinson's dubstepped I Question Mark and 2PM's Again&Again. After all of their performances, they were given some time to rest and for the fans to calm down a bit. They came back onstage after a good 10 minutes and introduced themselves once again. Then they asked the MK Education staff if there was someone who could translate for them but none of them volunteered. Then one of the staff, Mingyu unnie, pointed at me and shouted at the MC to drag me to the stage. I wanted to decline but my friends also pushed me forward. So I had no choice but to go up the stage...looking all ragged and wet because of all the fangirling I've been making during the whole performance. But before the MC was able to get a hold of me, the group's manager shook his head and told the boys to dismiss of the interview part and just go straight to the fansigning. I was heartbroken 'cause I just lost the chance of actually talking to my fave group at the moment and to amaze them with the fact that I can speak their language! But I didn't really mind...at least the fansigning can start! XD

Okay....so we were made to wait for about 5-10 minutes before we were ordered to make 2 lines and tables and chairs were situated at the stage for the signing. The 5 boys sat on the chairs (L-R: Hu, K, Yonggi, A-in, Yohan) and were getting ready with their pens. The line was a long one...but finally, it was our turn!!!

First in line was Yohan. I greeted him "안녕하세요"...he looked shocked at first and said "Mwo? Mworago?"...and I said "Annyeonghaseyo" again...then he smiled and said "Oh! Hahaha!!! Annyeong!" Then he signed my copy of the album. Felnor, who was going cray-cray over Yohan, nudged me and told me to ask him if she could take a picture with him. He readily agreed and smiled away as I took their pictures. I thanked him and moved on. When I realized who was next in line, my heart stopped and I almost fainted...it was A.in!!!! And he was smiling at me!!! I stuttered a greeting and he giggled...which made me die inside!!! he reached for my album and slowly signed it, obviously taking his time. He then handed it back to me, still smiling. Because of my weakening knees, I wasn't able to compose myself properly and asked him in English if I could take a picture with him. He didn't understand...so I took a deep breath and asked him in Korean. He smiled and nodded, saying "Of course!" and pulling me to his side. We posed as Felnor took our picture. I almost fell flat on the ground that time because of my weak knees and my ever-so-weak heart and the fact that was my best friend was torturing me with the time she was taking to take our picture. After some time, she was able to take a pic then I took the guts to ask A.in for a hug. He agreed, giving me a very cute smirk and slightly stood up to hug me. My chin rested on his shoulders and I shivered at how his chin perfectly fit my collarbone. I didn't know what had gotten into me but I squealed a "Saranghaeyo" by his ear. I heard him giggled and say "Oh!" and I then felt his head move to the side. It made me sad 'coz I thought he was going to end that perfect moment at a sooner time but what he actually did gave me the biggest shock of my life...he turned his face to me and KISSED MY CHEEK!!!!! He pushed away to look and smile at me...and I was almost deafened at the loudness of the other fangirls! I staggered and took a step back. I took a bow and thanked him profusely. He was still smirking at me as he handed me my album back. I fell back in line and moved on. Yonggi was smiling at me too and asked me if I was okay...probably because I was as red as a tomato by that time. I giggled and nodded and he signed my album. A tattoo with the words "broken heart" on his left arm caught my attention so I decided to ask about it and if he was okay too. He laughed (for the first time too since he had pokerface all throughout the show earlier) and said that it was nothing, that there was no problem, and that he was perfectly okay. I giggled and said "Fighting!" before moving on to K. He reached for my album and smiled as he signed it. I then took the liberty of telling him that he looked like on of my teachers. He said, "Oh really? Then what if I was your teacher? What would you do?" That sent me thinking hard...and I answered, "I'd probably warn you to keep yourself hidden when you don't have any classes. 'Coz I'll know all the girls in school will be coming after you when you're not busy teaching a class." THAT sent him laughing! [Score! xD] He then said, "You're a pretty awesome girl. Nice to meet you!" He bowed to me and I did the same, overwhelmed at the fact that K thinks I'm awesome!!! xD

I then moved on to Hu, the maknae. K looked over at us and laughed, saying "Yah! The two of you look alike! Hahaha!" My brow shot up and I looked at Hu, who seemed amused at what K just said and just continued to sign my album. How could we look alike anyway? He's Korean, I'm a Filipina...He has white skin, I have brown skin...His eyes were almost slits, mine were as big as an owl's...his nose was nicely shaped, mine was like a bird taking flight...get what I mean? :3

So, anyways...after Hu signed my album, I then asked him if I could take a picture with him. He nodded anthusiastically and I moved over to his side after handing Felnor my camera. He shifted a bit and held my hand as we posed. I thanked him and he smiled at me and pat my head. The guards had already led Felnor down the stage and told her to exit but I grabbed my camera from her and turned back to Yohan's place to take a picture of my two other friends, Nove and Ella (and to see the members again, too...xD). When their albums where still being signed by Yohan, I quickly pointed my camera at A.in and took his picture. He looked at me and laughed and said, "You again! Hahaha!" I smiled at him and took another picture as he posed. I then took pictues of Ella and Nove with Yohan, then Ella and Nove with A.in [Waaaah!!! I looove A.in so much and I still can't get over the fact that he kissed me!!!], then Ella and Nove with Yonggi. I was also able to take a pic of Yonggi doing aegyo and I giggled as he noticed me taking his picture. He then waved at me as I went on to K and took his solo picture. He then pulled my hand and whispered, "A.in-ah kissed you, right?" I felt my face going soooooo red as he winked and smirked at me. I then took a solo picture of Hu and I got dragged down the stage by the guards. The four of us, Ella, Nove, Felnor and me, met at the bac and fangirled at the whole thing. We then decided to go back inside through the side and wait until the whole signing-the-albums-and-posters thing is done. When theu were finished, they rose up from their chairs and the table were moved forward right in front of the fans. We decided to make our way through the hords of screaming girls and get in front of the table to get a last view of the 5 boys. I reached out for them as they stood behind the table. Yohan, A.in and Hu were right in front of me and they held my hand!!! Then a girl almost hit my face with her elbow but, luckily, I was able to cover my face. I gently pused away her elbow and looked back up and saw Yohan worriedly looking at me. He reached for my outstreched hand and loudly asked "Gwaenchanhayo??" I nodded and smiled as he gave me a thumbs up and slowly let go of my hand. Beforehand, I noticed (through my peripheral vision) that A.in was looking at me, then at A.in, then at our joined hands. So as Yohan let go of me, A.in quickly reached for my hand and held it tight. I don't know why but...I'm hoping he was actually jealous of that. [Hahahaha!!! Evil me!!! xD]

They said their goodbyes and I touched Hu's hand for the last time. I pushed my way through towards the stairs of the stage and reached out my hand again. I got shocked when A.in pulled me towards the 2nd step of the stairs and whispered, "Ireumi mwoeyo?" I heard the girls behind me scream, groan, and whatever but I didn't mind them as I told A.in my name, "Joraen." He smiled and said, "I will remember you." I froze to my spot and I got pulled back down. I turned around and saw my friends gaping at me. They pulled my to the back of the crowd and they al fangirled in front of me as I just stood there, still not believing what just happened to me...

[End of the story...I'll just cut it here...]
