V I P ╰☆╮

I haven’t been too active in the fandom these past few months but of course, I would never miss the chance of seeing my fave group perform live so even though it was out of my budget, I tried to get tickets for Made as much as I can. I even joined contests here and there...thinking this might be the last they’ll have till they have to do military service ;; 

Prior to the stop here in Manila, I’ve streamed and watched fancams from other concerts so I was familiar with the setlist. I was excited to see their new songs live!! And as expected, THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

I got to the venue way too early but I met new friends somehow. They were all younger than I am hahaha but I still had fun sharing the love. Since Andrea (koreanghetto) and I prepared some GD and BB photocards, I gave those away too while waiting.

Aside from eating, meeting new people, eating and more eating, we also had the chance to meet BB fansites!! I pre-ordered GD-fan’s and YB-518%’s sets but unfortunately, the weather and the over-hyped fangirls made it hard for me to go back and forth their venues so I only got to buy gd-fan’s sobs I was extremely excited for yb’s too cause the set includes a bandana from a fave fanartist ;; anyways, two of my friends also asked me to get theirs from with_gdragon, number g and utopia so basically, I was running here and there, drenched in sweat and the rain following the unnies lmao it didnt help that im sick and only relied on pain relievers to survive the day. But getting the slogan sets made it alllllll worth it. OMG. The fansites’ pictures are all so pretty and I almost cried seeing them all laid out ;w; 

In the afternoon, I encountered so much stress cause I had to carry so much stuff, the weather was so bipolar and my lightstick wont light up even with new batteries cries Maryphet helped me fix it but odg eventually, her friend arrived and did some magic and made it work. Thank God or I wouldnt have been able to join the golden ocean <3

Also, the line to the restroom was intense...I had to wait for like half an hour before it was my turn. I literally got to know those in front and at my back already hahahaha everyone was so excited to meet BB again and it was comfortable talking to any VIP around. Like you’ve been friends ever since...that kind of feeling haha it amazed me. Being a VIP feels like home (dramatic but true)

So. We got in line and tbh, it was just so chaotic. The organizers didnt put up proper signage where every section should fall in line so like, we were all mixed up and pushed to get in the venue like we were the walking dead pushing barricades to get to humans we need to eat. oh my god. Worst line ever. 

When we finally passed though, it was easy to get to my seat and then it all came crashing down on me. I’M GONNA SEE BIGBANG AGAIN. Last time was during their Alive stop here in Manila 3 years ago...I could still vividly remember that time tbh and I just cant believe 3 years has passed and I still am completely in love with them. It’s not even the love that is delusional and as shallow as liking them for their looks or whatever. It’s that love you have for your family and friends...you dont get to see them all the time but they’re a HUGE part of your life and it’s a blessing to be theirs too.

After eating my packed food and drinking my meds, I waited like the others and scanned the entire arena. Twinkling stars...I thought as I saw the crown lightsticks and the blinking crown headbands that everybody has. I almost teared up ;A; I forgot how beautiful our lightsticks were and how brilliant they look together. I’m just -- so overwhelmed.

Ok anyways. I wanted to share the concert to my vip tlist at twitter so I tried doing an audio stream but alas, it was fucking up my tab data and I couldnt take vids so I decided to stop and just enjoy the concert myself. (sorry, guys T^T) During the wait, they played some MVs and VIPs were already chanting with the songs. That energy sustained till the very last minute of the concert tbh. 

The concert got delayed for about 15-20 minutes and I swear, my bladder’s about to explode. I wanted to vomit. And then the tech team suddenly raised the volume up, hyping us more.

Lights went off...and I clearly saw the beautiful ocean we were making ;w;

Finally. Concert started!

I remember being confused on what to hold. I have so many stuff I wanted to do but I only have two hands cries so I held up my tab to take fancams and crown lightstick and the gd banner I have ;; Struggle much. But I promised myself I’ll make the memories last and capture all the moments (if possible, all performances) so I can forever look back and thank God I became a VIP.

Here is a bulleted summary of what went down:

THE VCR’S WERE DONE EXCELLENTLY 

Bang Bang Bang is lit. Everyone was turnt as early as the opening stage!

Everyone in my section were standing up at this point hahaha and I was dancing so my fancam was just a mess lmao

OT5 was hyper!!!! Daesung’s part got me over the edge, i screamed so hard

Actually. I screamed so hard throughout the concert hence, my loss of voice today lol

GD’S FLUFFY HAIR IS SO GORGEOUS ON HIM I DIED EVERYTIME HE COMES ON SCREEN AND HE RUFFLES HIS HAIR W/ THAT LIPBITE OHHHHHHH AND JUST. MOTHER OF GOD, THANK U

They performed Tonight in English and i was just “MY GODDDDD”

Stupid Liarrrrrrrrr. I’m thankful they didnt remove this from the setlist

They introduced themselves in english and kept asking us how we feeling that night and i said “YES” for 9387292 times, istg

SEUNGRI IS THE CUTEST 

TOP made a mistake and called us “singapore” and shook his head cutely and said sorry ;; love u tabi

Dae greeted us with “Mabuhay!” MY HAPPY VIRUS, WE MISSED YOU

Of course. Youngbae’s “say yeaaah” thingie. EPIC. vips followed well hahahaha

The mood and the lights became mellow and then Haru Haru T^T 

Haru Haru wrecked me. As always. But hearing their voices with this song live again is just so surreal. VIPs sang along too and I’m moved with every word ;;

This was my first time watching TOP’s VCR and THIS GUY ACTS SO WELL AS A CRAZY GUY. Huhu my heart was in pain

Finally saw Loser live!!!!! The stage is pretty. There was one point Seungri fell to the floor dramatically and I couldnt help but laugh haha sorry

Youngbae’s bridge. I was left breathless.

YB: “IM A LOSERRR~~” Me: “NOOOOOO”

It became a blue stage and I stopped filming so I can raise up my phone for the Blue project ;w; It was a success and I hope the boys found it pretty!!

Ment again and THEY WERE HILARIOUS. Especially Seungri and Daesung lol

Seungri: “THIS IS...AWESUMMM!!! SHUPER SHUPER AWESUME!!!”

Also he was like, “I love Philippine ladieeeessss” someone stop him haha

Seungri also made us kilig saying “Cute nyo po!” repeatedly lmao i love him so much hahaha

I WENT CRAZY WHEN DAESUNG ASKED US IN FILIPINO “NAKIKITA NYO BA AKO” OR “CAN U SEE ME” oh my god. He sounded legit like a Filipino.

He said his eyes were shuper big. Daesung, since when did u have big eyes hahahahahahahahahaha so cute i cant breathe everyone was laughing 

TOP: “Gusto nyo ba???” Me: “OO!!! GUSTO KOOOO!!! PUTAAAAAA”

Bad boy next. And VIPs know the lyrics well omggg

The choreo for Bad boy slayed my body & soul

GD’s VCR went next

IF YOUUUUUU FUCK FUCKFUFJFKF everyone was kind of just listening so you can hear their voices really well

I started tearing up when Seungri choked and didnt get to sing his part and VIPs continued it for him ;; It was beautiful ;;

THE IF YOU MISSION WAS A SUCCESS. I am sobbing at that point when gd was doing adlibs and looking over the pretty lights everyone made T^T

Quite annoyed though cause person in front of me wont sit down even tho it was a slow song -3- got her back in my vid ugh

GD’S LAST NOTE GOT ME REELING WITH EMOTIONS I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I CANT EVEN PUT IT INTO PROPER WORDS. i was bawling like a baby and i didnt care cause pretty sure everyone felt the same

LIES. odg i know all the words to this song and the choreo too and i just enjoyed it as much as I can

Seungri’s VCR was next and then his solo stage!!!!

Kinda disappointed at this point cause not many were doing the “crack crack crack” part sobs 

Let’s talk about love IS FULL OF GRI, I CANT STOP SCREAMING MY LUNGS OUT

Also. YB rapping. Finally heard it live!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the loudest “IM SORRY BIATCH” ive ever screamed in my entire life. Stress-relieving hahaha

Wings ;A; Goosebumps ;A; Daesung’s definitely one of the best singers in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Daesung commands the stage well ;; I’m just so proud of him!!

DOOM DADA BLEW ME AWAY. TOP GROWLING. TOP SPITTING THAT SEXY RAP. IMMMMM SOOOOO HYPED

My ENL fancam is probably the best fancam I had of the night. Meaning, my hands being stable and not much screaming from me cause I wanted to drown from Youngbae’s beautiful singing ;A; And it was more than that. He was amazing. I was crying again ;;

GD did his rap from MAMA!!! And then Good Boy! I cant breathe. GD’s dancing is so simple and lazy-like and it was so attractive ;; 

My fancam for Crooked got corrupted but I can remember just dancing and jumping all over my place with GD. SO ON FIREEE

Bae Bae. Sucha fun stage. GD was doing cute play with his rap cries i cant stress this enough. HE IS SO CUUUUTEEEEEEEE

YB asked us if we know what "chapssaltteok” meant lol we answered “rice cake” but he said it also meant “perfect for each other” AND WENT ON BEING CHEES SAYING THAT’S WHAT BIGBANG AND PHILIPPINE VIPS ARE /CRIES

They were already syaing their goodbyes sobs. I honestly thought it was so short

TOP gave us about 5 poses of him giving us hearts with his fingers criesssssssssssssss he is so precious

We chanted, “T O P! T O P!” and he went and CHOOMED!!! I SAW TABI THE BINGU MY LIFE IS COMPLETE 

Dae’s “you know? you know? you know what? i dont know” hahahaha 

We chanted his name too and he showed his love for us by chest pumping with help of top HAHAHAHA and swaing his hips whilst the camera focused on his crotch. I wasnt breathing lmao

Seungri was the one urging us to ask Dae to show us more lmao this lil panda!!!

Seungri promised to stay in Manila and have his Manila house made. Youngbae used this opportunity and said goobye to Seungri with no hesitation I LAUGHED SO HARD

We chanted Seungri’s name in return lol and he did “pabebe” (a trend here in ph apparently) it’s like acting like a baby lmao HE DID GWIYOMI INSTEAD

They kept repeating that they love us ;;

It took awhile before GD got to speak cause we were just screaming for him lol eventually, we helped him shush everyone up

He opened up about ‘E’ series and we chanted “Sample! Sample! Sample!” lmao he couldnt understand it and most probably thought we were chanting something in Filipino so he bursted in Korean and they discussed on stage before realizing we were asking him to sing a bit of Jjeoro lol

SEUNGRI DID BEATBOX AND GD GAVE US A TEASER OF THE GTOP SONG AND OMGGGGGGGGGG I FELT SO SPECIAL LOVE U GD

Fantastic Baby! Walang kamatayan. Hahahahah char but I enjoyed it so much gosh 

They left the stage lol and after a while, encore starts!!!

VCR of the party being finished and it wassss so cool when they stood together on the edge of the building and looked over the city above them. It was just...ugh KINGS

WE LIKE 2 PARTYYYYYYY they were so playful. BIGBANG being BIGBANG, if u know what im sayin

Confetti blast!!! And Hands Up started!!!! It was indeed a big party!!!!

Thanking the band part and ofc...VIPs!! Seungri also danced with the dancers when they were introduced haha this maknae

THEY GOT BACK AND PERFORMED BANG BANG BANG AGAIN ;; 

TOP picked up the BIGBANG chocolate and ate it lol

The lights were crazy and GD was already screaming so hard, sooooo fun!!!!!!!!!!!

While exiting the stage, they sang Bae Bae again ;; At this point, I was just focusing on each one of them, not wanting to forget the moment. Bittersweet.

They played Loser for the credits... :(

Btw, they have the same setlist except...no Cafe :(

I couldnt leave right away cause I suddenly felt weak ;; I still think it was a short time being with them like everything went by so fast cause we enjoyed so much!! At the same time, I felt the aftermath and felt really tired so I stared at the stage and looked around me and saw VIPs hugging each other ;; 

I asked my seatmate to take a picture of me with the stage for the background and it’s going to be one of my favorite pictures of me ever.

The concert was the best.

No kidding, it was the best concert I’ve ever attended.

Everyone had a good time and it was special just because it was BIGBANG.

I can’t ever forget them repeatedly saying how much they love VIPs and for performing with all they can even though they looked tired from previews in the airport. It was a reunion like that of a family or your close friends and it was nothing short of amazing.

BIGBANG truly does it like no other. I’m blessed to be able to watch the concert and see them grow as artists and be able to share that love with fellow fans ;;

I can go on about my love for them and my feelings for this concert but that would probably bore you lol

All in all, it was THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME AS A VIP. I love BIGBANG so much and this concert just made me love them more...if that was possible.

Thank you to all the VIPs I met and helped me too ;; I hope you all enjoyed the concert as much as I did and if you didn’t get the chance to go, please make sure to attend next time because it’s definitely worth it.
