CN Blue, saranghae!

I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

-Just One Yesterday by Fall Out Boy ft. Foxes

I heard the alarm coming out of my brother's phone. I went back to sleep and waited for my alarm to go. After minutes, my alarm went off. Trying to open my eyes, I groaned. I was still sleepy as hell. My brother, Dean woke me up by carrying me like a sack of potatoes. We both had breakfast. Afterwards, I went to the shower and took a bath. Today was the day when I get to pay for my uniform in SFU. I took my Jack Daniels muscle tee and a maxi skirt that my granda from LA gave me. I also matched it with my bowler hat, and a pair of brown boots to come with it.

I hopped in Dean's car and we left at about eight and a quarter in the morning. We arrived at SFU at 8:20 am. We asked the guard regarding the uniform fitting. He told us to go up to the second floor. We used the stairs and just came in the information's office. We asked again about the uniform fitting and the information person told us we were too early.

We had to go to SFU early because I had somewhere to go to. I was supposed to go to a CN Blue album launch in Megamall. Yes, CN Blue. CN Blue is a Korean pop band that is loved by millions of fans, which I am not. I was just supposed to chaperon my two great friends, Raine and Rovey. They are my only friends that are addicted to Kpop. Since I had nothing to do for the day and Raine invited me, why not? I think Raine invited me because she knows I kinda like Min Hyuk, the drummer. 

The information person told us to have a seat and wait. We waited for about an hour. I could imagine how Rovey and Raine were freaking out because they wanted to be part of the first 100 to get a free CN Blue tumbler. I was panicking when Raine started to call me. Good thing I was almost done. I hate fittings. It makes me sweat all the time. Nonetheless, I had my uniform. 

Dean and I hurried. We had about 10 mins travel time from SFU to the 7-eleven near Seton. He dropped me off and I went inside As I stepped inside 7 eleven, I saw Rovey and Raine being all girly. They had make-up on and every thing. Raine wore a cute top with a brown skort. I saw Rovey with her usual three-fourths attire with an artwork shirt and a pair of shorts. 

I asked them how on earth are we going to Megamall. Raine said we have to commute since her sister was still asleep. We hopped in a trike and arrived in Casimiro. We took a bus to go that will drop us down in Coastal and took another bus that will drop us in Megamall. We talked about a bunch of stuff while we were commuting. Surprisingly, we feel the same shit with the same people. 

We arrived Megamall and went inside an elevator. Raine and Rovey were load. They were asking themselves if they know which floor was the event in. Raine said it was near the cinemas. A lady behind us told us that the cinema was on the third floor. We went outside and asked the guard where was Odyssey. He told us it was in the ground floor, we ran to the escalators and just rushed to Odyssey. We went in and there was a poster of CN Blue in the front. They ran and got the album and went to the cashier. Good thing they were still one of the first 100 to get the free tumbler. We walked away and Raine pointed an album. It was Save Rock and Roll! I screamed! I immediately bought it. It sucks that the malls near us don't have it yet. But obviously God wanted me to be happy. 

We went out for lunch. The worst lunch I ever had! We went in to a Japanese restaurant that had few people. We ordered ramen and it sucks! It was too salty beyond compare! Rovey was making us hurry because she said the games will start at noon. We finished our lunch and went back to Odyssey. 

As we went back, we saw the CN Blue poster having new company beside it. There was a huge Chicser cut out. For the people who doesn't know what Chicser is, Chicser is a Filipino boyband that seems to copy One Direction a lot. Obviously I hate Chicsers, and so does Raine and Rovey. 

We went to the space where the games will be. We saw the give-away posters for the raffle. Raine and Rovey screamed on the top of their lungs. They had a picture spree with the posters. For the heck of it, I also had a picture with the Min Hyuk poster. 

A lady went by to talk to us, (Raine and Rovey) and they fangirled all the way. It was hilarious. And Rovey's social skills really improved. She now knows how to talk to people! 

Before the game started, we had this video greeting to do to welcome CN Blue in the Philippines. I wanted to get out of the scene, but I just sat and went with the flow. I was part of the video. It was extremely awkward for me. Every one did hand gestures when they were talking, and I was just sitting still. But it was fun. 

The game didn't start after an hour. The game was cup stacking. I thought I had it in the bag since I used to cup stack. But then I saw the cups... It was regular cups. It was hard to remove them one by one. The three of us joined. The host asked my name and I said "Blondie". Weirdly enough, I've always wanted to be called Blondie. Amazingly, Raine and I got tied in first, and Rovey was second. It was awesome! The three of us had prizes! 

After the games, we decided to go and wait for the raffle. While we waited, we went to the food court and bought some refreshments. Raine took a stolen picture of me wearing the CN Blue baller (one of the prizes). 

We went back for the raffle. It was intense. Watching each and every poster being given away was heart breaking for Raine and Rovey. Even I screamed when someone got the Min Hyuk poster. 

It was sad. But all in all it was an awesome experience. I was scared because it was getting dark out and we weren't leaving the mall. We commuted home and had a safe trip. 

Dad picked me up in 7 eleven near Casimiro. I bought a slurpy. I spent a lot today. I'm sad. 

I thought of this day as an awesome experience. We had new friends and new interests. I'm still not a kpop fan, but now I respect their music. It's not that bad, really. 

*This baller reminds me that I have two crazed Kpop fan friends that will get me anywhere. I know I could trust them. I know they would have my back all the time. I love these two, I really do. 

When I got home, I immediately synced in Save Rock and Roll to my phone. I couldn't believe that I was actually listening to it. I couldn't stop my tears when I was listening to Just One Yesterday. I love the album, I love FOB!
