[KPOP] BIGBANG PH 6G

so... this is pretty late but WTH...

[6G: BIGBANG ph gathering is BIGBANG Philippines 6th official fan gathering]

Last August 20th, i decided to attend my 1st ever KPOP gathering. i usually don't attend these kinds of stuff; i don't even attend events and all, but since i felt the 6th gathering would be pretty special, i decided at the last minute to buy a ticket voucher. :D



going to Taguig from Binangonan was an experience in itself. for one, i rode the wrong bus to BGC, and two, it was raining. hard. and i without an umbrella got soaked, wet, and went running under the rain.


anyways, while at the gathering i went to write some notes intending for blog posting, but as you probably have figured out by now, the intended blog post went more than a month late. but here it is...

[MISC] MOST LIKED COMMENTOR

Bigbangupdates is a news fansite for my favorite KPOP boyband BIGBANG. it is also one of my most visited and commented sites. so i was particularly happy when bigbangupdates released a statistic and it turns out that i'm one of the most liked commentors on the site. SWEET!



on the other hand, my fingers are busy voting for 
BIGBANG on MTV Europe Music Awards

[KPOP VLOG] The first fail attempt... sorta

so.. it looks like my first posts will all be 2ne1/kpop related..hehe.

anyway, on the 21st, 2ne1 released their 1st Japanese Mini Album. which is actually just the Japanese language version of their 2nd mini album. i decided to buy Version A which is the one with the DVD of the PVs (music videos)..

as we all know, companies are ALWAYS milking us fans dry by releasing several version of one album. THANK heavens i am in YGE fandom which seldom to none releases repackages and versions of the album in korea. i couldn't say the same for the Japanese releases tho..

anyways.. so i pre-ordered the version A and i got it 3 days after the release! YAY. in my excitement,. i decided to attempt my first UNBOXING video / VLOG. LOL. and yes. i did quite fail. ..

here it is! 


[KPOP ALBUM REVIEW] no one can deny the power of 2ne1

PACKAGING: one of the things i like about YGE albums is that they are always exquisitely packaged in a way uniquely different from other releases. you know that aside from the music written especially and carefully for the artists, they also give thought on how to best present them in small packages.


it makes them standout, and isn't it exciting to open up the package and be surprised?. albeit it's a little bit more expensive than the others.





YGE is also known for somewhat having a theme to their album packages. bigbang's earlier mini's, bigshow dvd's and live concert albums have at least 2 of their albums packaged in the same way. so i am not surprised that they kept the same plastic casing similar to their 1st mini with this 2nd mini album. As far as my album "library" is concerned, they are all stacking up nicely.









PHOTOBOOKS: or in this case photocards. i like it. it is unique, printed out nicely with a bit of sparkly glittery thingy in them. Mari Kim's illustration is not everyone's cup of tea but it is a breath of fresh air for a kpop album. one of the best things also is since they are photocards, you can even choose which card you want in the front; can either be your bias or simply just change the order however you want to. IT's like the freedom of having different covers OF YOUR CHOICE IN A SINGLE PURCHASE. i think that's practical and genius.







SONGS: i can never express how satisfied i am with the songs in this mini. not only these songs have made it into the album, all of them have been given the chance for the public who are not in necessarily in the fandom, to be heard. it is rare for songs in any album to be given the chance to be publicized aside from the title tracks and follow ups. they also did this in the first mini album but they've done it MUCH MUCH BIGGER for the 2nd mini.









all tracks are powerful. my favorite being UGLY and lonely. aside from the powerful music and lyrics, it showcased how much the 2ne1 girls have grown. they are a force to be reckoned with. YGE is notorious for putting up different genres into one album but still fits together, that's why it appeals to a bigger audience than the average pop fan. they are exciting, fun, and very satisfactory! BEST works of 2ne1 and Teddy by far is in this album. VERY GOOD JOB. don't miss this album.



did i tell you that i talk alot. yeah. haha. i decided to put some stuff in this blog.. for the first "official" entry, i decided to repost a small review of 2ne1's 2nd Mini album that i posted in YESASIA . :D





09/28/11 WELCOME!

Today is September 28th, 2011, 7:45PM Manila Time.


and this is the first post on this new blog. YAY!


Finally. after setting up this blogger account weeks ago, i finally did my first post. :D in fact, i actually have two blog accounts under this uhhh,, i really don't know what you call it. but yeah. hehe.


why only now. well, it's because the letter "E" on my laptop keyboard is missing and you can just imagine how hard it is to type without the letter "E"... so right now, i'm currently using my sister's spare keyboard, that i "borrowed" from her. and by borrowed meaning, she doesn't have an idea i'm using this right now. LOL.


hmmnn.. so what should i talk about for this entry?..


this isn't my first time blogging. in fact, you can search several blogs under my name all over the virtual world. i just decided to make a new one, and this time, i'll try my best to make post of interest... promise, i'll really do try...


i talk a lot. i could get very random. most of the time, i complain about stuffs. so be warned.






this blog could range from personal stuffs to world music to politics and anywhere in between.


so... hope i get nice traffic.. :D
