Hiya! Sorry for the late update. I had work the day after the U-Kiss concert and I only had the time to blog now! Sucks.  :mad: I must admit the feeling I had that night has already worn off by now, but I’ll try my best to recall everything from the concert and tell you what happened in the most giddiest way I can! :laugh:

Last June 14, 2010 at 8pm was U-Kiss first concert, held in Araneta Coliseum. The organizers announced that they will be giving away limited freebies on first come-first served basis, that are official t-shirts and light bracelets for Upperbox A (where we are seated). So my bf and I got to the concert venue at around 7:30am and had to wait for more than 12 friggin hours for the concert, only to find out there were no freebies to be given away.  :sweat: Well, it was okay since I made friends from VIP, Lowerbox and Upperbox seats whom Rocketboxx (largest U-Kiss online fan community) reported the night before to be spending the night in Araneta! XD And yeah, turns out the rumor about the bad ticket sales was true - dome wasn’t even filled up, especially the Upperbox seats, so I stopped minding the non-existent freebies. :err:

At around 6:30pm they started letting people in as it started raining outside as well. :)

Fans started filling in the seats. Forgive the face, I look too tired, I had only 2 hours of sleep and I’m stressed almost every friggin day.  :angry: At around 8pm, the patron and gen ad seats were all filled up, but there were lots of vacant Upperbox seats, very heartbreaking to see.  :no: I blame the fact that school has just started, kids had to go to school the following day and the recent enrollment (and Super Show 2?) left most Filipino K-pop fans penniless.  :suspicious: But the fact that the concert pushed through and that all performances were awesome, I must say it was a successful concert. :D

Anyway, will let you know first that my biases are Kevin, Kibum and Dongho. :heart: But I love all of them, really! I just love these three more, heh. :laugh:

The concert started with an opening performance by girl fans dancing to “Bingeul Bingeul” and “Mworago”, they were chosen through an audition held a few weeks ago. Then, U-Kiss entered the stage, crowd went wild and that’s where all the real screaming began.  :boogie: As for their intro, they did “Man Man Hani”. There were smokes that oozed upward on stage on every “Hey!”, it was nifty, wish there was pyro too just like those performances in Korea that we see on YouTube. Next performances were “Talk To Me” and then my favorite “Bingeul Bingeul”.  :dance: I learned the fanchant by heart but I was too starstruck that I just sang along whenever I feel like it, haha! :laugh:

They performed “I Like You” and “Not Young” as well, they were all too cute on stage.  ^_^ In between some performances they had short chit chats with the audience. One of the things I love about U-Kiss is that at least 3 of the members, Kevin, Xander and Eli, can speak English fluently!  :laugh: Dongho spoke a bit of English and it was good! And I also remember him dancing to “Oh!”, he’s making noona love him even more! ;)

And then It was time for solo performances. Kevin perfomed “Finally” all by himself. Kevin has such a sweet voice!  :heart: He then sang “Say Goodbye” by Chris Brown and he had a girl dancing sexily with him on stage! o_o I don’t really mind, I dunno about the other fans hahaha! :suspicious:

On Soohyun’s solo he sang “Because of You” songs - one by Keith Martin and the other by Ne-Yo. I am still amazed at how good a singer he is and how he sang those two English songs pretty well. He thinks he’s less attractive than the other members but I disagree, he’s equally likable as the others. ;) And Dongho, did rap on the intro of Soohyun’s performance!  :o Maaan, he was really good! :clap: In the next album they should give him more parts and make him rap! :laugh:

Kibum, Eli and Kiseop played around the stage dressed in animal pajamas with “Stupid Cupid” playing in the background!  ^_^ Haha it was too cute and random, then all of a sudden they shifted from cutesy to sexy by performing Justin Timberlake’s “Sexyback”. Gahd, Kibum and Kiseop stripped off their undershirts!  ^^; Lo and behold, their perfect chocolate abs flashed before our very eyes!  :o Couldn’t really see their faces on plain sight, but their well-crafted abs I could clearly see from afar. I almost died! :sick:

Xander performed Blacked Eyed Peas songs, namely “Pump It” and “Bebot”. Believe me, Xander makes a great Filipino! He pronounced the Tagalog lyrics in “Bebot” so well! It was amazing. :clap: One of the best performances that night! In case you don’t know yet, he also revealed that he may have Filipino blood as his great grandfather was a Spaniard from the Philippines! Oh yeah, how’s that? XD

Another highlight of the concert was when the boys danced to Korean girl-band songs such as “Abracadabra”, “Nobody” and “Gee”. Can’t help but squeal and giggle, it was too gay! :laugh: Especially Kevin, he makes a good rival of Jo Kwon really! I really enjoyed these numbers as I used to be LSS-ed to “Abracadabra” and “Gee”! :D

It was my first time to see the boys dance to their single “Give It To Me”. :D Second to their supposedly last performance was “Mworago”. For the supposedly concert finale performance they perfomed Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road”, in which Kevin cried with Dongho who hugged him. Seeing my biases like that, made me tear up too. :cry: They were tears of joy for the boys, I know how special that day was for them and how hard they worked for it (including many sleepless nights). It was like witnessing your most favorite group’s dream come true, as a huge fan how can I not be moved? ^_^

By that time I thought the concert was over, or maybe they were just teasing us, but they came back and performed “OK!” and “Without You”.  :heart: First time seeing performances for those songs as well. They danced around the stage, it was a bit chaotic but who cares, right? As long as I can see my favorite boy group enjoying themselves on stage, and the fact that they have more performances for us! :dance:

Before the concert ended for real, they performed “Man Man Hani” and “Bingeul Bingeul” once again! These boys should win an epitome of fanservice award if ever there is one! :laugh: They never failed to make us fans feel very special and loved.  Genuine love it is. I’ve never witnessed any other group who went as far as what they did in the concert and mall shows for their fans. :heart:

To sum it all up, it was one of the best nights of my life.  :heart: Best concert I’ve ever been to as well. The concert was overwhelmingly awesome. I’ve never seen myself gone as gaga as this over some group. It was such an honor for the Philippines to have U-Kiss’ first concert here, and I’m proud and glad that I was part of it. I’m proud and happy for U-KISS! :clap:

I’d like to thank my bf for winning us Upperbox A tickets and accompanying me to my crazy endeavors! You really are a cool guy :heart: And I really appreciate Triple S Philippines for coming, I noticed a lot of them came to support U-Kiss even though Kim Hyung Joon failed to come. ^_^ And to Uncle A, Xander’s dad, who’s always been supportive of the boys by spreading U-Kiss love on Twitter, I love you Uncle A and thank you so much! :heart:

I wish there’d be a second concert~ we Kiss Mes shall show more love and support for the boys the next time! :heart:

If you missed the concert, I took vids of some of the performances, you can find it here. Enjoy! :D

    Believe it or not, I’m actually crying right now. :cry: I feel bad for not being able to experience the 1st Kiss. I wanted to be there but, unfortunately, I live a thousand kilometers away from Manila. :cry: And you know about my health condition, my parents would never let me go to these kind of concerts. Something bad might happen to me like I might faint or something like that. :cry: I guess I’m never going to see U-Kiss live. :cry: Well, my parents might let me go if I won’t have to line up for hours outside Araneta. I hope that in their second concert, I would be able to attend but I’ll have to save up for seated VIP tickets. I don’t think I would be satisfied with gen ad tickets, I’m already nearsighted, I won’t be able to see them at gen ad area.

      Trudat! Might as well not go if you’re just getting gen ad tickets, sobrang layo! That I just realized during this concert.

      There are reserved seating just like Upperbox A, also Lowerbox & VIP Patron I think :) But I’m sure about Upperbox B, Gen Ad and VIP Standing being on a first-come-first-served basis.

      So you can still go to their second concert if ever there is one. Just avoid the crowd. :D

      Waaaah, some people still can’t get over on how amazing the concert was, but in my case, I also still can’t get over the fact that I was not there when it happened. :cry:

        Aww. I really don’t know what to say to you to make you feel better. :( Don’t worry, you’ll have your time to see the boys in the near future. Probably on their next concert, eh? :)

        Never pa talaga ako nakanood ng concert. O kasi never rin ako naging super fan ng isang artist o group. Tsaka wala akong pambili ng tickets. HAHAHA! :)) Siguro kung kasing swerte din ako ng boyfriend mo, teh, at mananalo ako ng tickets, pupunta talaga ako! :))

        Mukhang sobrang enjoy. Nakakainggit din pala kahit paano. :)
