FTIsland in Manila Concert Report

So I manage to grab some tickets (5 to be exact) for FTIsland for free. No, I’m not going to state here where I got the tickets unless you ask of course. I called in Joanna and Chen since they are the ones dying to have those. And so Joanna tagged her sister Jessa along and Chen called Sam to join us.
I arrived at PICC past 6 already, Sam was there and so we went inside to wait for the others because they are running late! LOL! They are super late! I heard there’s a raffle before it started but since the signal is fuck up inside the hall we stayed outside to wait for a call or txt from Chen or Joanna. They started around 7. Lee Hongki, (vocalist) wearing a stand out pink suit! I actually liked him of all the others but man the screams for Choi Jong Hun (guitarist/ Leader) had been the craziest. Whenever they focus him and put up his face on the screens the girls yell like there’s no tomorrow!
Since im not really a fan of FTIsland forgive that I know nothing about their songs. So I just yell, scream, howl just like everybody else cause that’s the only way of communicating in concerts really! Ahahaha! After a few songs Grace Lee comes upstage to introduce the boys and to be the translator as well. So they were asked the most cliché questions for the MC part like what can they say about the Philippines; answer is ‘Its too Hot’. I sort of pity them when they said this cause from Korea to the Philippines the weather is extremely different. If im not mistaken (im guessing Korea’s season is pretty much like Japan’s) winter is still up in Korea or nearing spring time while here summer is about to take place. I mean its not yet summer but thanks to El Niño the whole country is starting to dry up. And yes if we are having a hard time cooping up with the hot weather here what more for them! They were also asked what they can say about the girls here… they said, ‘girls are pretty.’ Super Cliché answer. Oh but the best question is what part of the girls are they most likely to see first, the vocalist and the guitarist said, ‘it’s the breast.’ That’s honest at least! Ahahahaha! Now that reminds me of Nino and Jun. For them it’s the butt more than the breast that attracts them!XD For Choi Min Hwan (Drumser) & Lee Jae Jin (bassist) I think it’s the eyes that got them. Then Song Seung Hyun (guitarist/rapper) said he wants sexy girls! LOL! I forgot the other questions. The MC is divided into two parts so I guess there’s like more questions, sorry I totally forgot. They sang around 10 songs and ended around 8:30! That’s really fast! Thank God I didn’t pay for those tickets. But its fun all in all! Just like Sam said it’s a stress-reliever for her to attend such. Oh and its been a year since the last time we were there in PICC. It was our graduation back then. Time flies so fast.
Before the concert while I was walking from CCP to PICC (don’t ask why) I could see Manila bay and the nice lights from the buildings and such at the harbor. The sky is purplish and dark, the orange tint of the sun is slowly fading. I wanted to take a picture of it to at least alleviate how I feel that time, but I got no camera cause I thought they’ll confiscate it, turns out they did not even look at our bags. Its sad that I always have to debate whether or not I could bring my camera. I always have to worry if the place is safe or if there’s too many snatchers on the way. Argh. And while I was walking going to PICC I wondered what’s like to prepare for an Arashi concert. Ahhhhhh I cant wait to see them. But I still prefer seeing them in Japan rather than seeing them here (which is next to impossible). Ok, everything in this paragraph is incoherent and more like blabbing about my dear Arashi. Gahhh. Sorry.
I’ll start my third job tomorrow! Let’s see how’s that going to be!
Sorry no photos yet, I’ll update this when my friend uploads them! And huge thanks to Google for the easy search of FTIslands name! LOL!
