First nite con finished last nite... i guess all of us are super tired.... after queing for almost 4hrs for con goods, we just went back to the hostel... just to bathe and freshen up for the concert..

opening song is love so sweet.. i dont remember well the songlist but they sang one of my faves... asu ni mukatte hoero.... truth, one love, oh yeah, lucky man, hadashi no mirai, step and go, truth, ramarkable, sirius (waaah i really love this song), happiness, we can make it, life goes on (waaah i also like this song even before... i love their step here haha)... no wish last nite (hoping there is tonite)... ending song is beautiful days... solo songs same in national stadium con.. except jun.. who sang yabai2 :) aiba-kun almost fell as he stepped on the moving cart again har3..... and as it stopped,,, he almost fell again hahahaha i swear aiba-kung looks so much better in person!!! im not saying this because he's my ichiban ne... he really is gorgeous!!!! they all looked good last nite!!!!!

the con started at exactly 7.30pm...  and lasted for 2hours, 31minutes and 51seconds :d...

for their individual thank you speeches... it started with sho-kun... same order as last aaa in taipei,,, sho-kun, oh-chan, aiba-kun, nino, matsujun.... i find it cute how aiba-kun sort of like said "yosh" after his part as if saying "what a relief" he didnt make any mistake in his speech (compared to last aaa where he had to repeat a phrase 3x)...

they also sang lucky man and hadashi... their hadashi places were the same as in aaa taipei in 2006... we were seated at the 3rd floor, section I... so just imagine how happy i was that aiba-kun was in that place waaaahhhhh...

they sang this one song which cathy and i are not familiar with... rina said it seems like an old song... hmmm gonna find out later on what it is...

sho-kun looked soooo good!!! kat i swear!!!! ahahahha he danced well (well atleast for me he did har3) .. riida as always dances well and his voice is really great!!!! nino looked so hot in his solo... he wore a dfrent pair of glasses in niji compared to time con... and as expected.. everyone went ga-ga when he removed it :) jun.. oh well jun will always be our domyouji-sama... he sent a flying kiss to people in the 3rd floor waaahhh

they sang 2nd chorus part of a.ra.shi in chinese.... they sang 1st part till 1st chorus of kansha kangeki ame arashi in chinese also.. i dunno what they call that thing.. but its the one they used in blue in aaa taipei 1... it was located in front of 2,8 section... just below the 3rd floor... all of them were in there... it went up... far enuf for people in the 3rd floor to see them clearly...

that's it for now... only 15mins allowed to use the net here in the hotel har3...

oh MC tok was about hyd... jun "assigned" each member to the members of f4... sho was tsukushi har3... didnt understand much since twas in jap and translated in chinese..

will post more when we get back home... oh and by the way we were atthe airport also when they arrived... we had a jun and ohno moment!!! waaaaahhhhh wont elaborate now .... will post more details when we get home!!!

ok now i will try to make a more sensible post comapred to the one i had yesterday (tama bang hiritan aq ni cathy ng ang ikli ng post q hahaha)

Since last year, cathy, kathy and i have been discussing what to do if ever our boys go out of japan for another round o AAA... since going to japan will cost us heaps... not to mention how difficult it is to get tix...

June 2008, cathy called me on landline fone (to think she needs to pay for long distance charges for this)... but i think iw as watching time con when she called.... so... i didnt take the call  hahahaha... when i went to my room i saw that she has soooo many miss calls on my mobile... so ic alled her and thats it... "SE!!!!!! May AAA part 2!!!" (there's aaa part 2)... and i was like "what? when? where?...." i was expecting there would be bangkok in the list since going there would be cheaper and we didnt need visa for it.... but then.... nope... hahahaha they were going to taipei, seoul, shanghai... and the specific dates were given also

kathy already said she cant make it (agony ended early...), but she helped us still by contacting her supplier whom she met only once (lets call him Souce A), who has a friend in taipei (lets call him Source B)

like most fans, we were rooting for taipei.... cuz its got the biggest venue (which is 12k, compared to 6k in seoul and 10k in shanghai),, plus,,, airfare to taipei is much cheaper compared to the other 2...

so since june, we've been praying for the tix as well as looking for people who knows anyone in taipei (for registering to ERA ticketing site)...  but there was no announcement as to when the tickets will be sold.... july... august.... omfg! october is sooo near when do they plan to sell tickets? we need to time to apply for visa, check for lodgings, file for leave, book our flights, and,,, the worst part..... we've been saving like beggars since every peso counts hahahahaha and we dont even know if we can get tix!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aug 24, they announced finally!!! after almost 2.5 months.... tickets will be sold on jun's bday.... aug 30, 12nn!!! eh? why on a saturday? i was hoping they would sell on a weekday,,, u know when most people are in their offices or schools... and most of them have snail-slow net connections so they cant access the site (nope im not selfish.... im just... being true to myself har3)...

aug30,,, the day of battling with the tickets!!!! Source A's wife was online trying her luck to get us tix, while cathy and i were at matsujun's bday celeb,,, since it was our first time meeting with other fans, we were quite shy to mingle with them and ask if they were watching aaa.... but with what we heard, somebody said,,, they were gonna try shanghai.... we dunno if Source A was able to get tix... so... we just kept quiet...

the following day, Source A said his wife was on teh PC for 5 looongg hours,,, but no luck... cathy said another filpino was able to get tix that morning, so she tried checking the site again... said she could still access era site and that 2,8 tix were still available... so i tried getting in touch with my sister's chinese friend... but her laptop couldnt read chinese characters, so she connected me with her friend (Source C)... source c was trying to get tix for us, in fact she was able to get 4 2,8ntd tix (i forgot wch date), so i gave all my card details and other info... and as she was about to confirm... boom!!!! she was asked for taiwan id!!!!! so cathy called source A asking if he knew.... he told us to get in touch directly with Source B, so i called Source B's mobile (arghhh overseas call!!!!) and asked for his taiwan id,,, but i dont think he understood me huhuhuhu he just said arashi tix is sold out already huhuhuhu...

monday came, back to work... twas september 2... 2 days after tix were sold... we couldnt face the fact that we didnt get any tix huhuhu...  i chatted with kaytee on ym she mentioned... she prayed novena for tix in seoul in 2006.... gee why didnt i think of that? ahahahaha so that day i started my novena to St. Anthony (for any need/request).... i also tried asking eiri (Source D),,, and guess what? people were sending her mails selling 2,8 tix... for both shows ... the day the concert tix were sold!!!!!!! arghhhhh!!!! im in touch with this gal,, but,,, i dunno,,, for some reason,,, we didnt go into details about our tix huhuhu.... she told me shes gonna try and look for 2,8 tix... but that time a number of 1,5 tix are being sold,,,,cathy and i didnt want it ... we were determined on getting 2,8!!!! cathy was so desperate... she posted in her blog she's so desperate without giving any reasons... and funny how people have been sending her pms asking if we got tix already hahaha

its kinda sad that while others are rejoicing already that theyre gonna be in taipei, cathy and i are still looking for tix huhuhuhu... i told her,,, this would be the first time, if ever,,,, that im not able to get tix for a concert... ive been to dfrent concerts/musical shows... and never,, as in never was there a time i didnt get tix... even if twas sold out already i still manage to get myself tix... huhuhu so this is the first time if ever...  i cant help but think... is this karma? for me wishing others to have slow-net connections? ahaha

i think twas after a day or 2 after i started my novena, cathy said, she was able to contact a filipina (Source E) selling her 1,5ntd tix for 1st nite... but.... she would be giving it to us, once she gets her 2,8 tix from era... so.... we waited again....  but its been like 2 weeks already... and we let other opportunities pass since we gave our word already that we will get her tix... so cathy told Source D that we will be waiting till sept 17 for the tix... if not, we wil be getting from another source... the singaporeans (Source F).. but we told source E wl be helping her sell her tix... but someone was waiting in line,,, so no problem with that... we settled for 1,5 since it seems impossible already to get 2,8 tix... but cathy and i were so afraid that the tix of Source E might be sold if we dont confirm right away... so we confirmed by sept 16... we got 2 1st nite tix.... but we wanted to watch both nites!!!

so i told eiri (source D) to try and get us 1,5 tix for 2nd nite... but that time,,, only 1,0ntd was available huhuhuhu... so cathy and i said we should be direct already... we posted in our vox and ljs that we are in depseprate need of 2nd nite tix har3... and yeah there were people selling indeed!!!!! tsuyoshi (Source G) said she was selling 1,5 for 2nd nite... but other filipinas messaged me re:tix also Source H (marszz, jen)... i saw sheryl's and Lyn's (Source H also) vox that they're selling 1,0 ntd tix... i told cathy we should settle for it already... since the time we were looking for 2,8 only 1,5 is available... now we settled for 1,5 only 1,0 is available... i cant take it that we'll be settling for 800ntd huhuhu... cathy and i decided to get from Source G... but... huhuhu she told me somebody confirmed before us arghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and when i got in touch with source H,,, only 1 tix is left huhuhuhu.....  so cathy and i checked for others.... and as if our prayers were heard... Source F was selling tix!!! but only 1 available (1,0ntd also) so cathy got that and i got the tix from Source H... phew... so after agonizing for weeks, its final!!! we were watching 2 nites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to save up from S&H, cathy asked her friend from singapore who was going home on sept 26 to pay for the tix and bring it home... ha! that saved us a few pesos :)

they said you should be careful of what you wish for since ... it just might come true... huhuhu... even when we got our tix already... i was still praying for better tix.... and arghhh!!!!!!!!! 2,8 tix started popping from all sides since saturday last week!!!!!!!!!!! waaaahh others are selling it just right (original price + a little more for queing, etc),, and there are those selling it like its supposed to shoulder for their tickets as well (around 150usd or .. double the price!!!)

it was a fun experience looking for tix hahaha we've been connected with different people hahaha

oh yeah... after my first ever novena... (St. Anthony..) i prayed to St. Jude (for desperate cause) i guess thats how we got 2nd nite tix ne... har3.. 

hafta work now... will be posting again re:visa application har3...

cathy, ok n ba gn2 kahaba n post? :p

cathy has her version of aaa part 1 here

after reading jen  and cathy's posts about our taiwan visa.... i wanted to post right away har3... unfortunately still toxic with work... so im gonna make this short and simple...

next week, we won't just be breathing the same air as arashi in taipei... we would literally be exchanging oxygens with the boys for 2 nites at the taipei arena *woot woot*...
