Bigbang Alive Tour in Manila

Writing about this is too late but just in time for The Final of Bigbang's Alive Tour in Seoul. Since Alive Tour Memories is trending worldwide in Twitter, I will take the opportunity to blog.


Pre-concert jitters.



First off is my rants about the concert. I didn't want to write about it because it will just make me furious again but I shall share this to the world. I regretted not lining up early to get inside the arena simply because I thought that having a seat in the VIP section would grant us easy access in entering the arena.  It was raining and not even cold but humid outside that I don't want to waste my time lining up and so, because of the management's fault (and I blame them big time), many of us were stuck outside as Bigbang started to come out on stage. I was shocked and couldn't believe that I'm missing the opening that I didn't believe at first but as it was confirmed, everyone ran inside and thank goodness the VIP area is on the ground floor. The area was definitely crowded with all the security and fans gathering near the barricades and standing on their designated chairs (or not). My friend and I were panicking and looking for our designated chairs which we painstakingly bought on the first day of selling in the PH. And I wouldn't even dare tell the story of how we got our tickets. I.wouldn't. (It was damn exhausting and frustrating). After looking in the dark, we notice that everyone did not really care where they were standing (on chairs) and we just decided to stay near the barricade (which is the best, ever). Now here comes the best part.

While we didn't get to properly watch the Fantastic Baby performance (which was definitely regrettable, and them going up from those tubes), we were properly geared with our cameras just near the stage when they started singing How Gee and going around in a segway. My bias, Kwon Jiyong (G-dragon), went to our side and looked so sexaaay that my friend took the best photo ever.


At this moment, I took my time to look at his jawline and smooth skin. I think my hands got paralyzed and forgot to take photos because I was just too starstruck. Now this is a perk of being in the VIP area but it was really hard looking at their performance because they usually performed on stage 1 (we were in stage 2) and in the middle of stage 2 (we were on the left side). We only get to see them up-close when they go to our side. Fortunately, they all went to our side, never forgetting to greet their fans. 



This photo of GD was when they sang Haru Haru and letting us sing (I think, if I can trust my memory). This was really like a dream. When I was standing there, looking up to him, I didn't think that he was real. I feel like I'm still watching a Youtube video of their performance on Inkigayo or their concert in Seoul. It was definitely surreal. Shortly after this photo, GD drops his microphone and picks it up shyly. 


Now, this photo was when TOP was giving a used towel to a fan near me. I was so happy yet jealous as this was the first time any member had given anything for the fans. I can say that this made everyone in the stadium jealous as most of the Filipino VIPs are TOP biased (TOP got the most cheers. Even I shouted for him). 


I couldn't get any decent photos of Daesung and Seungri, although I have decent fancams of them. One video even catched Daesung lookin at my camera for a split second. I have to say, my favorite performance was Cafe. It was just so.. I cannot even find the words to describe it. But every performance was perfect for me because they're Bigbang.



How to start explaining this photo? Basically, Taeyang went to our side MANY times and decided to give his jacket to one of us. I am not sure if he was trying to give it to us or to other fans behind us but it ended up on my hands and the people at the back started the tug-of-war. My friend and her sister fell down and I was left and I felt pathetic doing that so I let go. Youngbae wasn't my bias anyway. But still, I regretted that for weeks. The girl felt bad because everyone wanted to get that jacket so I asked her to let me take a photo of the jacket. 

After that brawl, we continued watching and got a GREAT view of Taeyang/Youngbae's body. I was so sure that I got it on video but then my phone acted up and didn't save the video. But I was so glad I had taken a good look (hihi). May I also comment on Seungri's handsomeness? Oh dear God he's gorgeous. He was the most good looking in person but still GD's my bias. Daesung on the other hand was so cheerful and gave the most fan service next to Youngbae. He definitely looked better than when he was still in Family Outing (His skin looks good too; his skin regimen worked). 

My final thoughts on the concert

Everything was so spectacular. Although some people said that there were technical glitches, I didn't notice it at all. I was so focused on looking at them and taking in the awesomeness. I was glad to see them perform like they would at every country that they've been. Even though I didn't get to see the opening, I was still satisfied and that experience made me look forward to watching another Bigbang performance in the future because I want to see them looking fresh and performing the opening. Finally, there were ups and downs in this whole experience but still, being thankful for seeing them will take over my feelings as a VIP.

P. S.

Shout out to those who attended the Finale in Seoul! Please share your experiences too and I'm definitely jealous of you all who saw GD's 1+1 aegyo!


I'M A VIP UNTIL WHENEVER
