Concert Memories

Hi there! I hope you guys are doing fine~ Being stuck at home during quarantine sucks. When will this pandemic end? ><

Anyways I was cleaning and organizing my files in my laptop and saw some pictures of my happiest moments in my life. Ahh, seeing someone you've been a fan of your whole life hits different, no?

July 30, 2016 was the first ever legit concert I attended ('cos, well you know there are school concerts and such). It was at the Mall of Asia Arena. I couldn't believe I would get to see them with my own eyes. BTS. Yes, I'm a fan. I've been a fan since 2013 (so as of now, it's been almost 7 years). Their first concert in the Philippines was last December 7, 2014. I wasn't able to go (with a HEAVY HEART) since I was still in high school and my parents didn't allow me. I was also broke so I couldn't fight my way into going to the concert. Ah, well. During the concert day that time, I locked myself in my room and felt bitter about it. Yup, haha, a typical teenage girl feeling bad about not seeing her favorite boy group.

Since I was desperate, I saved money. I tried ways to spend less at school. I kept asking my mom that I'd bring packed lunch, instead of buying in the school canteen. I knew they were going to come back someday. I felt it. No matter how long it would take, I told myself I would see them. I'm sure my parents would allow me if I used my own money, so they wouldn't complain. The cash I received on my birthdays, on Christmas, and even on my high school graduation, I saved them all. It was hard not to spend since I'm quite a gastadora. The urge not to buy my guilty pleasures was frustrating. Damn, it was HARD. Lol, the things I would do for my idols.

Finally the news came that they would have another tour. FINALLY. When the ticket prices were posted, I kept practicing how I would tell my parents. I prayed that they'd allow me. I have to make sure everything is planned, because for sure, they would bombard me with questions. How will I get there? Who would be with me? Manila is two hours away. How much do I have? Until what time will I be there? I've prepared myself for those questions. Also, it was my first time going to Manila with only a friend or two. I was 17, still a minor going to Manila without her parents. The only adult I was with was a classmate who was 18, lol.

The moment my parents allowed me, I actually fell to my knees out of joy. HAHAHA. I was such a kid. I was about to cry, and my family was teasing me. I couldn't eat dinner well, I was so happy!

Okay this is getting a bit long HAHAHA. I'll go straight to the concert memories now. My seat was Lower Box but still kinda far, so I couldn't get high quality shots of them on stage. Some of my shots are blurred but I appreciate every single one. They hold precious memories.

July 30 2016. EPILOGUE IN MANILA!

I wasn't able to take shots Yoongi and Hobi :( I didn't realize it, I just kept screaming hahaha.

That's all the post-worthy shots I have haha the others are a mess. I miss them. Looking forward to another concert someday!
