A date that Inspirits, especially Filipino Inspirits including me will never ever forget. Infinite's One Great Step finally happened. And now, I'm going to share my OGS experience starting from the moment I woke up.

My meeting time with my friend was around 9 am. We made an agreement see meet at Araneta Station MRT at that time but of course, I woke up a little later than I wanted to be. The reason? The night before, I felt so sick. As in, super sick. My throat was so sore and I thought I was going to have a fever. Fortunately, when I woke up the fever didn't go through. But I couldn't say the same thing for my throat. It was still kinda sore. I was so worried that I won't be able to cheer or mostly curse them. 

I arrived at Araneta ummm, by 10 am or so. Did I mention that I was like Dora The Explorer? You see, I live at Laguna which is sort of a province because it is outside Manila. I don't know how to go to Araneta. I pushed my shyness and asked a few security guuards then poof! I'm there. I immediately looked for my other friend who was waiting in line. When I saw her, the people in queue weren't that much. Maybe coz it was too early. OGS won't start until 7 pm that night.

Honestly, I didn't stay in line. So sorry to my friend who waited for a long time then didn't get a chance to get in. I really wanted to help but I don't have enough money for her. Sorry talaga, Kat. Pasenxa ka na kung poorita lang ang unnie mo T^T

I strolled around Araneta to be able to grab some fansite goodies. I helped too~ Of course, SUPPORT LEE SUNGYEOL was my ultimate goal. I distributed a banner that looked like the image below to Inspirits at Patron A. Usually, I'm less assertive but yesterday I completely forgot to being me. I wanted everyone to help and make Sungyeollie feel moved by it. Did he see it? I think so.

I saw some fansite noonas. They were standing slash sitting beside us on the line. It was L'aile, Hogam (I think?), Honeytree and a few more. I saw SunggyuStory (am I right?). Oh! And BabyLoveYa!!! Weeee~~ A Yeollie fansite noona!! They were giving away a few stuff, I only got some because MAN! Those Inspirits beside me were like Zombies that were very hungry. 

When it was time to enter, I was very nervous. Why? It's because the ticket that my friend and I purchased was an E-ticket. It looks like this. 

It is basically printed paper. My name was not the one printed on it, so I was scared. Scared that they won't let me it coz I'm not whoever that is. Thank God, we were able to get in. I wish I could say the same thing for Kat, my friend who didn't get a chance to get in and unnie, whose ticket was invalid. Why? I don't even know.

I really hate how undisciplined Filipinos are. I'm sorry but its true. If my throat wasn't that sore, I would have curse them all night long. Its because when were allowed to inside to the stage, people at the back of line started to run. DAMN IT! WHAT'S THE FREAKING USE OF THE LINE IF IT WON'T BE FOLLOWED!? I wanted to shout but I couldn't.

This is what the stage looks like at Patron A. 

So everyone knows the flow of the OGS right? I'll skip that part coz honestly, I'm not sure anymore. 

Here are the major details of my night. Drum roll please!!! XDD

1. Jang freaking Dongwoo was super close to me! Well to Patron A at the back. He was literally in front of me. He kept doing a lot of fan service and I love him for that. Maybe its because Jang omma and Jang appa were watching.
2. When they were singing Lately, White Confession the boys were giving away small teddy bears. So Nam Woohyun, being Nam Woohyun was being greasy while giving it away. He suddenly stood in front of me, we made eye contact. I knew it was me. You can't just make up eye contact coz you know that its you when its you. He kissed the bear then handed it to me. Of course, the other Inspirits rushed to me so they could get a hold of the bear. I was about to be victorious but I fell on the floor. When I was on the floor, someone stole it from me. I couldn't get it back because I was so shocked. I have never been in a situation like that. I know who took it but its okay. My friend gave a good pep talk. She told me that I just have to think of the fact that Namu personally gave it to me because he saw me amongst the crowd and that Infinite confessed to an interview before that if they find someone pretty enough to get their attention, they would either to sing to them or give them something. So which means that I'm one of the lucky people that Nam Woohyun, the GREASE PRINCE, thinks is pretty.
3. During Cover Girl, a lot of fan services happened and again I'm lucky enough. The member who noticed me this time was Lee Sungjong. Actually, I can feel that he already noticed me when they were performing Wings. He was near the back of patron A. There was this security or bouncer whatever who told me, "Maiipit ka dyan" in English, "Don't be there. You'll get squished". True to his words, I did get squished. Anyways~ I don't know why and how he notice my hand but he did. He saw me and didn't think twice. He took my galaxy player and took a selca. Yes! He took a selca! When he was taking his selca, I was being shoved and pushed again. Damn them! It was becoming a habit for me. Was I a punching bag of some sort?! Breathe. Okay, back to the story. When he about to return my player, I knew that he was looking for me. I was underneath a lot of hands and phones. I wanted him to keep it so he could return it to me after the show but he can't do that. He really has a sharp eyesight coz he saw me. He handed me my player back with a smile on his face.
4. When they were giving their final bow, Dongwoo smiled at me. Not just any smile but his angelic smile. It was so heart melting. I was about to faint but I held it in. Though, I wish I did faint. That way, he would go down and ask if I was okay. He was so lovely.
5. I saw Lee Howon and Lee Sungyeol up close. As in! I could see the sweat that was running down their arms and bodies. But you know what? Both of them didn't glance that me. I guess, I wasn't enough to get their attention.

Overall, it was a night that would never forget. It was so much different from DKFC because none, well Nam Woohyun noticed me back then, paid much attention to me. Unlike Kiseop and Dongho of UKiss who held my held.

I don't regret being there at the back. I had a perfect view of Lee Sungyeol. Although he didn't notice me that much, its okay. I know that our relationship is a secret to the public, so what he did was right. He did apologize afterwards. LOL.

I made a few new friends who I don't know their names. I sweated a lot, that's for sure. But I had fun. I made lots of memories. 

I really love INFINITE.

I love how they tried to speak Tagalog which was so cute! 

I love how Dongwoo oppa was surprised with our pre-birthday special.

I love how Sungjong oppa cried even before speaking. Most of them cried.

I LOVE INFINITE.

Btw, here are the goodies that I gathered yesterday from various fanprojects. Excuse the shoe boxes. hihihi. I don't have much Hoya except for one photo. I also lack Sungjong and Myungsoo stuff. I guess, you don't have to guess who owns my heart? His pictures are all over the place. Sorry~ :))

Is it weird to have a few confetti from the finale? I opened my bag so I can take some home. 

ONE GREAT STEP MANILA

And that was why OGS experience. I wanted to type some but my feels are going all over the place. But these sums almost everything up. I'm too shy to show my picture, so I just posted the pictures that are really important. 

To those to haven't been to an OGS concert, go! It's worth all the money that you would spend. :))
