100911 Intensity Concert (Rain w/ U-KISS & Christian Bautista) brief fan-report w/ concert pictures.
-- by Tinze Ortega.
-- I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis far from the stage. Forgive my next crappy pictures, it's the best I can do considering the very far distance between the stage & me. /sadface I did my best though! *w*
- Spent good 20 minutes in finding out where the hell MOA Concert Ground (IMAX side) is without violating any traffic rules, and another 20 minutes in looking for a parking lot. Oh yeah, spent time in walking ain't included yet 'cause srsly, SM Mall of Asia is effing big & tiring! :|
- I'd like to add that our ordered dinner at French Baker took some 20 off our time too. I'll never go to that branch again.
- Hello Concert Area! Concert started at 8.30pm with the host, KC Montero. And then there goes Christian Bautista. He's pretty good & I'm happy that a fellow Filipino's doing good overseas too.♥
- Next is U-KISS! For some reason, I can't remember much of what happened but the first one's Bingeul Bingeul. And then introductions, and then Mworago. And then chatting with the audience! Oh yeah, it's always my favorite part (especially during their 1st concert) but something happened that pissed me off.
- Three bouncers approached me & told me that my camera is prohibited. The camera that I brought, which I borrowed from my aunt, is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 DIGITAL CAMERA which I used during U-KISS' Concert too. Fuck yes, anywhere you search, it is a DIGITAL CAMERA (it's just that it's not point&shoot and it's bulky) and certainly NOT a dSLR which is the one that is prohibited.
- Stupid bouncers thought my aunt's camera is a dSLR and wants me to surrender them or something. I was immediately pissed off 'cause seriously, who wouldn't when I was supposed to be enjoying the U-KISS show. >:|
- They were saying something like I have to go with them to get my camera checked and all that shit & because I want to end it immediately, I followed them (I was with a friend too) while not taking off my eyes over the big screen.
- Lol, because I was still watching U-KISS on the big screen, I'm ignoring everything they say and just followed them. Anyway, we talked to a random staff and I told them (I almost shouted at their faces) that it is NOT a dSLR but just a digital camera. The random staff seem to understand me but the bouncer keeps on blabbing that it's a dSLR.
Bouncer: Nazozoom ba yan?
(Can you use zoom in it?)
Me: Oo.
(Yes.)
Bouncer: Bawal yan!
(That's prohibited!)
Me: Lahat kaya ng camera nazozoom, duh! >:|
(Every camera has a zoom function, duh! >:|)
- Seriously, I want to die with the bouncer's stupidity. I mean, I understand that it's their job but what the fuck, learn how to differentiate cameras first if they want to do their jobs well. I would surrender my camera if it's really a dSLR but because it's not, there's no way in hell I'm gonna surrender ANYTHING.
-- Kevin's dancing to Miss A's song, though I didn't captured the part where he lied down on the floor :O)
-- Dongho's dancing to a Secret song. :D Lol, he booty-shaked as well as Xander and Kevin decided Dongho's better. XD
- Anyway, I won so yeah, that's history. I'm just pissed off I lost some time in watching U-KISS (I didn't saw Kiseop's Love Song dance & didn't caught much of Kevin's Miss A dance!! D:) because of their stupidity. I did said some harsh words out there such as "Panira ng concert mood," (Concert mood killer [wtf sorry for a lame english translation]) and my disrespectful snappy remarks but yeah, I was pissed off AND frustrated so I just hope they understood why. :\
- Anyway! After this is End of the Road, I think? I'm still doubting if the boys sang live or lip-synched here? I already forgot but there was a song when I thought they were lip-synching, idk which one or if there were none. Oh yeah, I was so surprised on how the boys look so effing handsome right now! I swear, they look hot and all that before but there's something with them at the moment that made me flail a whole hell lot whenever I see them on the screen. I wasn't like this before really, I was really surprised on how much they looked good last night. They're growing handsome everyday. :)) ♥
- And then there goes Man Man Ha Ni! :'> I was jumping like mad when they played that 'cause it's my most favorite song from U-KISS! :D
- Can anybody tell me what U-KISS talked about during their talking with the audience part? I only caught something like being happy to be back in PH, about Philippines is like a family to them already ♥, and that they feel so close to PH. :'> (Oh boys, that's why we love you like that! ♥)
- After that, some 10 minutes, I think? And it's Rain's turn! I admit, I'm not really a big fan of him (I spazzed about him during my Full House days though!) and I went to the concert just for U-KISS but Rain was skdjfkshgj-worthy. *w*
- Idk 80% of the songs he sang but I enjoyed Love Song the most. I think y'guys know why. >:)) Lol, my eyes were so happy during that time. :)))
- Oh yeah, he also sang Instead of Saying Goodbye which coincidentally, I've just downloaded yesterday morning before I went to the concert 'cause I heard Eunhyuk sang it. Lol, my friend whose a Rain fan said that it's unexpected 'cause it's from his first album (I think?) but she was very happy 'cause it was her favorite song. :D
- I also liked It's Raining & Rainism! I wished he sang Sad Tango though, I love that song too. :D On other notes, I wonder why he didn't spoke in English though. :)) Seriously, I'm bewildered. When he spoke Korean though, everyone cheered for him as if we understand what he said. :)) There was no translator too. XD
- Anyway, there were some confetti's and pyro-whatever in the stage and I thought he'll be back for the encore but..
- THERE'S NO ENCORE. :((((((((((((((((((((((
- That's like... totally UNEXPECTED 'cause from all the concerts I've been to, there's ALWAYS an encore. ;___; At first, nobody's moving 'cause I guess we're all expecting the same thing but meh, after some time.. especially when the crew went to the stage to clean things up, the crowd dispersed so we decided to went out too. D:
- WHY RAIN WHY. ;____; It was a good concert though!! Even if I was in the General Admission, it was very much worth it especially if it's for U-KISS! Rain was awesome too! :'>
- I'm now patiently waiting for U-KISS' comeback & hopefully, the fourth time they'll visit the Philippines. ♥
- Some comments&suggestion: If concert tickets were priced like this during U-KISS' first concert last June 14, I'm sure more fans went. It's not that cheap but at least it's cheaper. But then again, it's a matter of venue. Araneta's a dome, while MOA's is a concert ground. :))
