Haik!! I'm back.. actually, since yesterday.. LOL.... I wasn't able to post 'coz i still have a hang-over of everything that happened... WAAAAAAH!!!! Two days!! i was able to watch.. woot..with my cuz, and my mom... it was really great.... so... a report of the whole trip... Arashi fandom, saved for last... heheheh..
Friday morning...... at about seven... we saw other Pinay fangirls at the airport.. then, we had our pictures taken and then, at about 730, we boarded the plane.. the flight lasted for 1 hour and 40minutes... it was not boring complared to our HongKong trip last year because we did enjoy the food at the plane.. LOL... after the trip we arrived at TaoYuan Airport at about 10 am... Arashi is to arrive at terminal 2 at 1150, but since we are to be fetched by the agency, we decided not to transfer to terminal 2...... but our fetcher, we can't find him, so we lost another 1 hour in the airport, addup my mom's jacket.... we even thought of ditching our fetcher and transfer to terminal two to see arashi's arrival... unfortunately, we were already paged and we finally found our fetcher...
we arrived at royal biz taipei at about 12.... we rested for some time and then we went to see Taipei Arena in the afternoon. it was a bit far although it's only 2 stations from our hotel, we still have to walk a couple of blocks.. we heard Sakura Sake being played causing palpitations... but we weren't allowed to enter of course.. we concluded that our stormy boys might be practicing.. we were able to take a glimpse of the arena... and we saw their lighting and sounds rehearsals.... it was really great.. we met Yung Pi and her friend... they were like stalking Arashi.. they came from the airport and followed our boys up to the arena.... they planned to sleep there.. ow, they have a picture of Sho-chan and Aiba-chan... they also had a video... and then ,we met two more fans.Lolas.. hehehe.. from Japan.... and they were able to watch the Kokuritsu con and the dream a live!! Lucky!!!.... after meeting new friends, we headed for the nearby mall, AsiaWord, were we saw lots of Arashi photobooks but no more CD's and DVD's.. could you believe that other Johnny's group have so many stocks available but Arashi only has one last copy of the Truth/Kaze no Mukoe LE single... tsktsk..... after that, we headed for Kinokuniya,... oops.... stuffs in Kino were more expensive than AsiaWord, i should have bought the Arashi is Alive Photobook!!.... argh.. then we ate at a Taiwanese restaurant wherein the waitress was really friendly... i wasn't feeling well anymore that night that i have to vomit everything i ate when we arrived at the hotel... we rested for the night.
Saturday...., we had a half-day city tour.. we went to temples and museums we went to the national museum which was really big... and the flyers have Arashi colors.. but there were so many tourists in there... it was very noisy and very smelly...and then, we went to this handicraft store.. we bought some stuffs and the Lola was so genki over there....we also witnessed the changing of guards at the martyr shrine.. we also went to the Chiang Kai Shek memorial.. it was really huge.. hehheh.. so there...
. after the tour, we went back to our hotel.... we just changed to our costumes, and headed to Taipei Arena at 12pm.. the queue was so long already... and we queued up for 4 hours... we met new friends like Wen, to whom we bought our tickets for the first day... and also the lady to was next to us in line.. she will watch alone actually.... we finished past four.. we decided to rest for a while.. ate at Mcdonalds, saw the Lolas again... took a picture and waited for 6pm at the lobby of Taipei Arena where a lot of Fangirls were preparing.... we waited.. and waited... and then.. tsk.... 6pm.... Fans started to enter.. but we decided to enter about 6:30 so that we wont have to queue up once more.... and then..... 7:30... the concert started... woot.. the overture was really great.. Philippines was shown... hehehe.... line up.. oh well... there are a lot of people who posted it...
after the concert.... we went back to our hotel.. slept.... tired... hang-over of what happened coz OH-CHAN WAVED AT ME!!!!!
