After going there, I didn't actually plan to go to any more concerts this year and plan to go on another next year instead since there will probably be better concerts coming up.
But then when I heard rumors about SHINee (my ultimate favorite Kpop group of all Kpop groups) performing in the Philippines this year, I just had a major shock and couldn't believe what other people said. I really froze for how many minutes and thought a lot about it. Then I put in my head, "They're just rumors anyway." You might probably be wondering why I'm not so happy about this. Well, I really am not. Why? Because if the concert will be held this year, then I'll most probably be not allowed to go! My parents will think of me as a very greedy person because I just attended a concert last January then I'm going to attend another one again this September? It really does make me a greedy person though. But I'm going to tell you guise, I saved money for both concerts. I started saving last year for January but then my parents volunteered to pay for the tickets instead and no matter how much I insisted on paying for the tickets, they wouldn't allow me. So I had to save the money for future expenses instead. But no matter how much I try to tell them about it, they won't allow me.
And so there I go wishing for those rumors not to be true.
But then there has to be an official announcement to ruin my hopes. Yes, it was official. The concert is real. SHINee is really going here......... OH. MY. GOSH. I panicked and rolled down on the floor 'til my tiles make those cracking noises. THEY'RE REALLY COMING HERE!
BUT WAIT.
I CAN'T SEE THEM.
OH NO.
I don't know when they'll be back! What if they'll come back when I'm so old already? Or worse.. what if they never do?!
So I really had to take this chance, I really had to!
There I go, asking for permission again and again and again. I keep hearing the same answer: either total silence or telling me that it's sorta hard to manage.
But I already have the money here. Then I thought again... Maybe this isn't just right. I really really really wanna do see them perform. I really do wanna see them live. I really, really do. :( But I can't get everything I want, can I? So I thought about it and tried to accept the fact that maybe God had other plans for me. Maybe it wasn't the right time yet or something. So I sobbed, and tried to accept reality.
Then I just moved on with my boring old life.
But then one Saturday morning when I woke up, I went to my parents' room to get something then my mom said, "Dad's buying you plane tickets later for your concert. Are you sure about this?"
Wow. Hahaha! It's like I was dreaming. I literally slapped my face in front of my mother to check if it was a dream or not. And wow did it hurt. BUT HEY. IT HURTS. If there's pain, it means it's real!! OH MY GOSH. FINALLY. I'M ALLOWED TO GO! OMG. WOW. IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
Sooo yeeeaaaahhhh that was it! I then gave them the money, my dad and I bought tickets online and one day when I went home, I saw my plane ticket on my laptop. It was a complete miracle. I cried for a while, thanking God and my parents for everything, for this very special blessing I received. Then I ran to my dad and thanked him a whole lot.
And yes, I traveled alone to lessen the expenses. My aunt took care of me when I got to Manila.
I learned how to travel alone and it's actually quite fun!
So yes, that is how I persuaded my parents in letting me go and from that moment on I swear to not go to a concert ever again 'til I graduate. When I get to college, I can probably manage my life more and go to concerts on my own with my own money and all.
It was an amazing experience and I'm really thankful for it :')
I wish I could post more pictures but for some odd reason my internet is currently being such a constipated sloth.
