I will write everything that i remember from these days.
Dec. 16, 2022 - As soon as I arrived sa Makati, I was out of breath and so weak. My shoulders and back were hurting. Buhat ko kasi 3 heavy bags with all the essentials and clothes. May dala pa akong cookies so ang bigat. Ginabi ako ng dating kasi sobrang traffic slex. Stopped by drugstore to buy mascara and concealer. It was my first time to buy makeup shuta feeling ko kasi I might appear in the special video so need maganda tayo. The night before I even watched some makeup tutorials. HAHAHAHA
When i arrived, there was no one there. I was hungry pero need tiisin kasi pauwi palang sila kuya and i dont wanna spend money. So while they were out, I found some nail polish and hair curler so Ć
They arrived, we ate, tapos we prepared to sleep. Pero anong oras pa di pa rin ako makatulog. Kasi i keep imagining ano mga gagawin ko, saan ako pwesto, anong mga agenda ko. Donghae was also bubbling late. Sad ang bebe boi daw kasi nadelete ang mac photos nya with 7 years worth of memory. Tapos di daw siya makatulog. Pero pinilit ko na rin makatulog kasi at 3am magigising na sila kuya to go to Sambang Gabi. So i slept around 3 something. Then gising pa diwa ko nung umalis sila.
Dec 17, 2022- I had maybe 3 or 4ish hours of sleep. I was contemplating whether should i sleep more pero sabi ko sarili ko, i should prepare na. As soon as i looked outside, I saw a rainbow. HUHUHU. and it made me sooo emotional i had to tweet about it. When SJ went last Aug, it was raining and the air was heavy. There;s really a rainbow after the rain. So i manifested good things will happen today. Took a bath, dried my hair and started doing my makeup and hair! It took me one hour! Dumating sila kuya with burger so i had breakfast.
Wore blue croptop, baggy jeans and shoes. crossbody bag and black totebag. Hinatid nila ko sa moa arena and we went around to look for the lamp banners around conrad. (kaso hilton hotel pala sila para near naia na daw at may flight agad agad) huhuhu my fangirl heart was elated! very fangirl ako on the way. they dropped me off sa mcdo kasi i had to pick up the santa hats from CEBU ELFS.
Then I started to head to the fanbooths. YES. I AM AN ADMIN NOW SA D&E FANBASE. Can you believe? my younger self wouldnt probably believe this is happening but yes. altho dati i raelly wanted to be part of the allriseph team. Now, we're working with them ā„
We distributed banners and the cookies collab with allrise and starfishph. :) Then had photo-op for day 1. the pink banner! very pabida pa ko nun sa harap hahahaha. it was successful naman pero upon going back to the booth, I FELL DOWN THE STAIRS! Time was slow-mo and all i can think about was "oh shit"
I fell and my first thought was "YUNG SUJU BONG KO!!!!!" HAHAHAH very tawa sila nicol, shermaine at aica. they asked me if im okay pero sabi ko okay ako kasi di ako pwede ma-stretcher at may concert hahaha. even turned my foot around to let them see i am fine. (pero deep inside alam ko meron na something eh) so sa labas ng marina way tapat ng sm moa arena sign. nag-usap usap na kami gameplan pano hihiwalay ang team booth at team fankit. nag rock paper scissors kami hahahha so in the end, kami ni aica napunta sa booth. while kai bai bo, may lumapit na abu dhabi elf nagbigay ng crinkles sa amin so binigyan namin sila ng pink banners <3
The rest of the time. Nasa booth lang kami very chikahan. tapos around 12:40pm something ata we decided to pack up na kasi wala na kami banner. Sakto dumating si TOEY, kaya hinintay talaga namin siya para makahinga ng freebies tapos binigyan na rin namin sya ng banners hahaha.
Afterwards, we went to cbtl. We told the fankit buyers to claim theirs sa cbtl. We saw Chiara and I saw Chloe. Had picture with them ^^ Ate pasta and drank AVALA. (Salamat Hyukjae ang sarap pala) SUDDENLY IT RAINED!!!!! ang lakas as in buti nalang wala na kami sa booth non. kawawa yung mga elfs na naulanan huhu
so we stayed there until it was time to queue pero before that umakyat kami sa parking lot to freshen up. MAYGAD IT TOOK US 30 MINUTES IN THERE HAHAHA. very makeup at mascara ang mga ferson kala mo naman mahahagip ng camera hahaha
then dumaan kami sa ikea bridge to go to moa, ended up taking the fast lane kasi nakapasok na pala lahat sa loob so wala na pila. sabagay sobrang bumuhos rin kasi ulan non kaya maaga pinapasok lahat. when we were inside, i went to the clinic na to get my foot fixed. (i skipped the sm passport thingy. sayang gwapo pa naman daw ng staff don hahah)
ang babait nila kuya. had a small convo with the medic team. they used the spray for muscle to numb the pain and they put on bandage so i was doing good. afterwards, i saw blanche and iya na. kaso we only met for a few mins and only took a pic kasi malapit na rin ang call time for qn. i need to find my place pa.
before going to the qn, someone called me. it was jenny! my mami doc <3 glad to finally see her again. we had a pic together taken by chloe. thanks madam hihi. we exchanged some quick hellos and i headed na sa queue. it was kinda difficult to find my place kasi ang gulo ng numbering hahaha pero good thing kausap ko yung ka trade nla blanche sa ticket so eventually i found my place. waited the whole time sa queue while chatting with the 2 ghorls (they were cousins too hehe)
the bgm playing inside the lobby wasnt purely suju songs but we didnt care. dun ko nafeel yung maturity ng elfs. walang parinigan or sama ng loob. we were just purely excited. from my experience nung ss8, this time i felt more calm. my stomach isnt in my throat and i was just chilling. pero lowkey panicking san ako pwepwesto sa loob. sa bridge ba sa gilid to get barricade or sa center na kahit di barricade, i will get a good view? hehehe so i told aica to raise our banner once she is inside para malaman ko kung maganda ba yung naapwestuhan nya at sisingit ako hahahah
finally we were inside and i ran a lil bit kahit bawal. buti nalang i spotted aica inside agad she was in the center, mga 3 rows away from barricade hahaha so pwesto ako agad sakanya. :)))) i felt so giddy. hihihi
((from here on i might miss some things coz my first day is a little blurry))
while inside, very chika kami ni aica. tapos observing na sana mapuno yung arena (it did.) i noticed i was kinda pushed in the front and my foot has a weird angle. given that i have a sprain, i kept worrying about it. pero i cant move at all hahaha i was sweating too and since naka crop top ako.. medyo wet na yung arms ko. i didnt feel cold since many bodies are surrounding me. in our front. there's this celf who has a huge eunhae yellow banner (the pic is pink donghae recreating the sukira photo with hyukjae in weekly idol ep). iniisip namin pano nya nailusot yun banner nya ahahaha. the elfs behind us were talking loudly. pero di naman ako nainis or anything. ang kulit nga nila. medyo kabado bente na ko dito kasi i am preparing how i will move around my stuff. my power bank has no more battery na so i gave up charging the iphone. and im moving the banners in my bag and lighstick. medyo bulky kasi ang hirap gumalaw kasi ang sikip talaga.
when the lights went off and the pulp vcr played, i was legit close to tears. may pre interview pa about what happened last august pre-ss9. huhu idk if got a vid of that pero the vid is emotional. something about suju keeping their promise. watch the vid and i swearrrr you will relive the memories!
SABIHIN KO NA NG MAAGA. pero i used kuya's samsung in day 1. OH BOI HOW I REGRETTED IT. PANGIT QUALITY NG VIDEO AT SOUND HUHUHU SABOG AND EVERYTHING. SANA NAG IPHONE NALANG AKO :(
(ps: the whole time i am interchanging the banner and phone in my hand and the lighstick kasi im trying to hold all at once hahahaha may marker pa nga ako pero buti nalang na kay aica haha)
SONG FOR YOU LIGHSTICK SYNC - with my sabog fancam. yall can hear me singing throughout the song. focused on trying to video my lighstick changing colors with the crrowd hehe. lakompake if my lyrics are all wrong!. I'M FINALLY BACK HOME WITH MY SAPPHIRE BLUE FAMILY <3 pati talaga mga adlibs pinatulan ko. kry kabahan kayo pls!!! ((also me: grabe naiyak na ako! aica: yung mascara ko!))
1ST VCR - may thunder eme tapos parang medyo scary yung vibe kasi they're all in black and all have masks. i remember the vcr having similar cinematograpy in here we are vcr sa d&e con in the beginning then got reminded of take it slow bc of the studio. there are red strings tied to suju everywhere and it looks like blood. a white mask was hanging from the air with red strings entangled on it. creepy ng vibe. they look like they tentacles moving. saw the pores from the vcr. ang linaw. i can even see the air was cold inside the arena and few screaming everytime a member appears. sobrang dilim rin sa loob. aaccck ang ganda i wanna relive it coz i dont think i appreciated it enough kasi i was conscious with the sapphire blue ocean, how it looked in the dark xD i also didnt video the whole thing kasi i now vcr will be in the internet. (that's me trying to save phone storage and batt haha) i thnk i keep saying ngawit na ko multiple times too hahahaha kasi naman xD so naka lean tuloy ako kay ate girl sa harap ko ahahaha may extra comments pa ko here na hyukjae pokpok kasi hyukjae + red strings + bondage= get it? hahaha
BURN THE FLOOR - there was this scary intro parang dollhuse-like yung tunog. then konti-konti suju appeared with the red strings tied to them and smoke everywhereeee. then burn the floor started. GRABE GOOSEBUMPS KO HERE. IDK IF I SHOULD VIDEO IT OR APPRECIATE ITS FULL GLORY. IN MY MIND I WAS THINKING "AM I REALLY SEEING IT FOR REAL" sayang we were kinda far kaya i couldnt see properly. medyo nakaharap kasi ako sa vcr and by this time i thnk the weird angle of my foot is bothering me. then i noticed yung barricade pala humaharang saken so i stepped closer and ayon. napunta ako sa 2nd row ng barricade and got a better view, no more heads in my pov hahaha. the lights man, the lights. i wonder what it looked like from afar :(( feeling ko super ganda huhuhuhu. sobrang ganda talaga ng intro na to kasi parang marionette/puppets sila. sobrang gulo ng kamay ko dito sorry na agad hahaha

(long time standing... ok? leg sick. long time sick. afraid sickeu. be careful. uhhh 2nd floor, your leg ok. u chair ok. everybody have a nice time ok?) HAHHAHA RAULO KA. in hyukjae's turn, we chanted his name before he spoke. he apologized right away huhuhu (first of all, im sorry guys. i miss you guys so much. i was also very worried how will the rescheduled date will not push thru, i was worried that our meeting will be postponed. im very thankful before the year ends we can meet each other. i was hesitant how to greet you guys and im thinking about it. since u guys waited too long, we'll do our best double, triple and hundred times better. the good news is we have 2 days right. it is possible because u kept the promise.) ni-trans ko lang based on what i heard. wont trans teukie pero ang cute rin ng ment nya. pinasigaw nya kami ng matagal. hahahaha. dito pa lang paos na ata ako animal ka. hahaaha. ((we are holding the tix daw like a lottery. we won the lotto daw hahaha)
2YA2YAO - nikka baliw activated. just sang along the whole time. dont have vid kasi malayo sila eh. so nakatingin lang ako sa vcr. memorized ko naman so kinaraoke ko nalang ahahahahaha.
3RD VCR - The one where they look all fresh with all the bright flowers. parang ang bango rin ng arena nito parang langhap ko yung bulaklak. i also keep saying ang ganda ni hyukjae dasurb.
I CANT + BELIEVE - AY MHIEEEE. VERY BIDYU AKO DITO KASI I WANNA SAVOR KRY VOCALS KASI FAVE KO TO. KASO TANGINA TALAGA NG QUALITY NG VID WALANG MATINONG KUHA SA PHONE NI KUYA. KRY VOCAL HEAVEN. WALA KO MASABI. PERFECT. sa video ko dami ko ata side comment. i wonder kung asa tono ako? pero parang sa 2nd day kasi ako nag karaoke session eh. chorus lang ata ako sumabay. ang layo ko jusmiyo. Sa Believe naman, naghihintay ako ng eunhae eme kasi i know may moment sila dapat na nakatayo dun sa boxes. pero di naman sila tumayo so naisip ko "ay walang eunhae dito, sa next ballad siguro." so di na me nag video ahaha.
MY WISH - AAA YUNG UMUPO SILA SA HARAP NAMIN. yung nasa side namin si yesung at leeteuk. super lapit as in. asa kabilang side si donghae with shindong. jusko ewn san ako magfofocus nito ahahaha. sa fancam, palipat lipat ako. during this moment pala, i noticed the clothes they're wearing. the ube outfit. yung sinuot nila sa live previously bago sila umalis ng korea, tapos umakyat sila sa box pabalik. i thought omgg celebrate na later!!! tapos nasa box sila meaning may eunhae latur hahahaha
CALLIN - nasa box na sila. syempre may video ako nyan pero di full. although malayo ako, kitang kita ko nmn landian ng mag jowa. so nung nagkulitan nga sila sa box sigaw nmn ako ng "mga malandeeee" as if i didnt expect it na. hahaha tapos after the crossing, nag pwesto na sila sa respective pwesto for celebrate. pero that time i have no idea pa yun na pala hahahaha
CELEBRATE - nag glitch yung lights nung time na to taps they showed the trailer very quick. i remembered the pa-video thingy. so i didnt want the cam na mahagip puro camera lang so i just enjoyed the moment. raised the celebrate banner and lighstick. pero not much. shoulder level lang kasi ang sikip hahaha i couldnt move at all hahahaah. i miss the energy here kasi pagbukas ng ilaw ulit, suju saw everyone raising the banners and dancing to the song. huhuhuhu sobrang ganda as in. i think this was pulp's fanproj kasi fanbases had no idea about it eh. tsaka the pulp crew were the ones distributing it. grabe the song was just released and no one memorized the song yet. lalo pa the fanchants. dinaan nalang sa energyhahaha.
4TH VCR - the gods of music vcr. ginawang comedy show muntanga kayo suju. the longest mv.
SPY + ROKKUGO + MAMACITA - very tawa lang ata ako dito. dont remember anything kasi ang layo nila. hahahahah. buti nalang the crowd is responsive sa fanchants.
5TH VCR - continuation ng gods of music vcr. tapos sumasagot kami parang game show. very usap pa kami ni aica sa title at years sa questions lol (btw hyukjae dasurv makulet ka eh)
LATTE - shinwonteuk in denim + dancers. first time to hear the song so idk much about it. pero i took some pics and a short vid! hehehe (mas maganda experience ko nito sa 2nd day)
HOUSE PARTY - malayo sila. very kanta nalang rin ako. sorry po kung out of tune ako hahah. anyway may eunhae saglit kaya napatili rin ako lol
EVERYDAY - AY ETOOO. NAGKALAT NA SILA SA AMIN. SHUTA NABALIW AKO DITO MHIE. HAY NAKO TODO ABOT KAAMI NI AICA NG BANNER DITO KASI INTERACTION TIME. PERO DONGHAE SNOB DI TAYO BATI.
