A Year That Was: Concert Scenes of 2011
At 9:55 PM of 31st of December~ barely 2 hours before the clock strikes 12 mid-night to welcome 2012, I looked back to my year 2011.
And to end the year right... a celebration of YG's 15th year with YG Family Concert 2011.
My year 2011 is basically about me and...
my family~ we welcomed our new baby Carlisle, and lost few of our relatives whom were dear to us;
seeing old friends~ spent more time with high school buddy Rhea and gained some ew friends~ new travel buddies, co-starbucks collectors and some twitter cyber-friends and followers;
my travels~ went to China for the first time and went back to Korea four times this year alone (ah~been there 9 times since 2008);
my 6th year with Shell~finally handover GR/IR account analysis;
my COHEN diet~ which is currently in progress until April2012...now I am beginning to love cooking;
my attempt to learn Korean Language~ it was a new learning at start but decided to stop...hopeful to finish it by next year >,<;
my love for Korya remains~ from K-dramas to my Seoul trips to Bigbang's music!
... which makes most of what my year-end blog theme are the Concert Scenes that I have gone through for this year!
First concert of 2011 is BIGBANG CONCERT (Bigshow 2011) in February. It was my first time Bigshow experience and truly a memorable one for a VIP... I say BBVIPAKO! Now would be looking forward to Bigshow 2012 in March!
And I didn't dare to miss 2NE1's first... The Party: 2NE1 Live in Manila concert held last June. Bonus part was my opportunity to attend and cover the presscon for this concert ^^
In the same month, got a VIP concert ticket for Miley Cyrus: Corazon Gitano Tour. Not really a fan but did enjoyed it.
Another concert in MoA ground with The Black Eyes Peas in Manila 2011 was a blast!
And to end the year right... a celebration of YG's 15th year with YG Family Concert 2011.

Last night, I was able to watched 과속스캔들 at MOA and tremendously had a good laugh! It was a real feel good korean movie... stepping-out of the cinema with a ^___^ oh~ nice nice nice!
Scandal Makers (Gwasok Seukaendeul) / 과속스캔들
“SCANDAL MAKERS” – (Starring: Cha Tae Hyun, Park Bo Young, Wang Suk Hyun) - Nam Hyun Soo was a very famous idol worshipped like God by teens. Though he is in his mid-thirties now, he is still one of the most sought-after celebrity in the industry and a DJ in a radio show. One of his listeners, Jung-nam, sends him letters narrating her willingness to see her father whom she never met. Her story became a hit and catapults the show’s ratings to be the most popular program. But one day, Jung-nam knocks on Hyun Soo’s door claiming that the father he hasn’t met is none other than him.

2NE1 in Manila: 2ne1-day Fangirling Experience
Barely 6-months ago back in Seoul when I first saw the 2ne1 (South Korean hip hop girl group) performed at the 2010 YG Family Concert. Far from my imagination, that 2ne1 will do a showcase in Manila and they did! It was 2ne1: The Party held at Araneta Coliseum yesterday, 2011 June 4. Much to this excitement, about 6 weeks earlier when I bought our tickets for the show. This anticipated 2ne1 in Manila did not started and ended to just the showcase but beyond what I had experienced yesterday.
This is a short story on my random thoughts about my 2ne1 encounters with Mumai.
Grand Ballroom - Intercontinental Hotel
PRESSCON. It was a first time experience for me to attend a press conference for any celebrity and more than lucky enough to a Kpop artist that is 2ne1. Thankful for the opportunity as one of the representative of YG United, a weblog fan base site and it was made possible by Mumai's effort! I am equipped with my pinklens as this is mainly a photo-op and a chance to meet them up-close. A very long wait to forever but everyone inside the grand ballroom was stunned upon the arrival of 2ne1. I instantly started taking photos and videos alternately thou my hands were little shaky at times. I found a best spot rubbing elbows with the rest of media cameramen right in front of these four lovely 2ne1 girls. Not to mention seeing few showbiz personalities like Iya Villania for Myx, Grace Lee for GMA7 and Ms. Korina (on a later instance after the presscon). Questions and answers begun. I find it cute how Dara manage to answer in Filipino dialect fluently. Truly she won every Filipino hearts as always. I equally like 2ne1 girls but my heart fell for Minzy when she picks Taeyang to have a dance showdown. Yes~ Taeyang is my Big Bang bias! A mere mention of his name that afternoon is really something to spazz about. Presscon was over~ and I got bulk of photos and vids to take home! We stayed a little longer at the hotel and saw Dara again as she passed by her waiting fans calling her Sandy/Sandara~ despite of tight securities, Dara looked back and extended her hand to one of the 'Parkers fan' who personally handed the letter to Dara! ~ so lucky fan!
CL - The Baddest Female Leader
Park Bom - Main Vocalist
Dara - Vocalist
Minzy - Best Dancer
THE PARTY at Araneta Coliseum. We initially planned to buy a VVip/Vip tickets for this show but later on decided to seat at the lower box section instead~ which we saved half of the price! After 2-hours performance of fronts act guests, a loud siren signaled the start of 2ne1 show! 2ne1 started the show with their debut hit single "Fire". The crowd~ Pinoy Blackjacks were all singing and dancing to 2ne1's music. They performed their hits~ 5 songs and 2 as encore. I was moved watching their live performance of "Lonely"~ currently my fave 2ne1 song. It was a short 35-mins Partying with 2ne1. Thou everyone was expecting MORE including me, as they could atleast sang 2 more songs: I want "It Hurts" and there should be one solo performance by Bom if not her new single "Don't Cry" atleast "You & I"~ but I must say I still had fun and enjoyed it.
2ne1 in Manila - "The Party"
STALKING at Bubba Gump. Stalking was not part of the plan. We headed straight to Starbucks G5, a bit hungry so I had a frappe and a wrap~ just killing hunger and time. Then a twit message lead us to stalking~ we headed straight to Greenbelt 3. We had our very own After party dinner at Bubba Gump~ where 2ne1 had their After party inside the function room at the other side of the restaurant. Patiently waited while we ate a bit at our table near the entrance door. It's time~ I saw CL and the manager walking towards the entrance door. I missed a glimpsed of Minzy who was closely behind CL~ shyly walked with her head bowed as she exits. But Dara is hard to miss~ we greeted 'Hi Sandara' and she smiled back and responded with sweet voice saying 'Hello' to us. So nice of her to pause a second as she passed by our table. It was so quick~ I was starstruck! But I can clearly remember her face~ up close. Beside her is Park Bom who wave back saying Hello too. Surreal moment of 2ne1 encounter. We went back again at a coffee shop, we were up all-night just spazzing our 2ne1 in Manila experience that was. Parted home at 7:30 am ~ a fail attempt to bid farewell to 2ne1 who were still checked-in the hotel earlier today. It was a very tiring yet happy and memorable long 2ne1-day Fangirling experience that ends well.☺
