Bigbang socks: Alive ver.

If you have read my previous entry, I won in an auction in e-bay and got these babies for an affordable price. It comes with two BB Cream samples plus photo stickers that surprised me. I love the socks. Worth it… hahaha!

My BIGBANG Euphoria has not ceased yet… Here goes my ALIVE BIGBANG SOCKS ^^

My BIGBANG fever has been with me for almost a year now. Or is it more than a year?

I thought it would die down especially now that GD is on his world tour, and we don’t hear that much of the guys recently. But we get to have updates only when they post on their social media networks, which I’m very grateful for.

So anyway, before their Alive tour last 2012 I bought a pair of GD Socks and didn’t wear them for almost half a year thinking I wouldn’t want his face to be stretched out, I did not want to step on him (hahaha!).

A few days ago, I finally got to wear my GD Socks, which was so comfy and adorable. I have  quite chubby feet, so here it is. hahahahah! My Stretched Jiyongie.

Then I remembered how cute TOP’s version is and as well as Seungri, and Daesung, and Taeyang.. I love all the Alive Version Socks. I tried to find them and they are too expensive. Tried to bid on EBAY and finally… got this cute babies with a good price and their on their way!

I’m planning to sell GD as I already have one.. or should I just keep it just in case my other one gets too worn out? hahahah! Well, If i’ll sell it… probably just within the Metro. Anyone interested?

Dooub’s BIGBANG Shake : Rhythm Action Game

Bigbang Shake

It’s been a year since I started playing Bigbang Shake. It’s an exciting game for BIGBANG fanatics. It’s pretty much the same as Tapsonic but this one goes beyond Android phones running on Gingerbread. Dooub games are compatible with Jelly Bean phones and tablets. They do not only cater Android users but Apple gadget users as well. Unlike Tapsonic where different artists are in one game, Dooub game provides a specific application for a specific artist and gives us a playlist of the artist we want.

Visual and audio are superb providing us with high quality graphics and sounds. The downside is payment is required to be able to play the full songs. But don’t fret, Dooub refreshes their short play free music once a week. And if you’re lucky enough, you might win a song or card package when they have an ongoing event. If all else fails and you don’t want to spend too much, they do offer a $0.99 per song package once in awhile which is actually a good buy assuming the orig package price is around $6.99 . They do have great customer support as well. Just e-mail them thru their customer support and they’ll assist you.

To be able to play the game, it does require stable internet connection to play the game smoothly. ^^ .

When I started playing the game the only songs available were their 5th Album: Alive and a couple of songs from their Tonight Album. Now they have a variety of song packages such as GD’s One of A Kind Album, Still Alive Album, and their famous songs like Haru Haru, Lies, High High, Lollipop ang a whole lot more. They do update songs frequently.Here are some screenshots of some of the game background images for you to have a feel of it.




The game also provides a card system where you’ll be able collect a character card in every song played. You may use them to get a higher score and have a place in their ranking or you may use them by combining and getting a higher value card which you may use when you play a song to get a much higher score. Hahaha!

There are two modes to choose from, the classic tap game or the shake mode where it feels a lot more DJ’ing. The game is best played with hard to extreme mode with a higher speed such as 2x to 4x as this will give you a more feel of the beat and rhythm in tune with the song. I find the slow mode and easy mode harder as there are less buttons to play and kinda gets boring after awhile. So I suggest you get your game on and play the fast and harder modes.

I managed to get on top for the shake mode of the game. Not sure where I place now since Dooub’s ranking seems to be down for awhile now. It was good to see how well you place with your country’s flag beside it. Hahaha! I first used “buboythegreat” as my nickname unfortunately I had to change to “buboy”. I wasn’t able to retrieve the cards I collected from my buboythegreat account. In replace of that Dooub provided me with same amount of deck cards and a fresh batch of cards.

Now, they have a way to recover your account, so whenever you have a software update or you have factory reset your phone and apparently your purchases seems to be missing, just email them the default nickname generated, your old nickname and google account. It usually take 2 to 3 days to work on your request. Do understand they have a growing market. Before it just takes a day for them to reply but ever since BB’s World Tour I can see their Bigbang Shakes facebook’s likes growing by the day.

On Top!!!

Anyway, it’s been a full year of fun as I was able to place top and as well as collect their rare cards recently. Yey!

Here are my most precious card: virtually signed GS cards of each member.

G-Dragon

TOP

Seungri

Taeyang

Daesung

It’s very hard to get S cards and harder to obtain SS cards. To get these signed cards you must combine SS cards. Harvest SS cards by combining S cards or use S cards while playing and get lucky enough to choose an SS card at the end of each song.

They had a signed Still Alive cd give away event before when you are one of the first lucky 5 players who obtain the signed GS card. I wasn’t that lucky before. Hahahaah! I only win deck cards and song packages.

Whenever you play this game, be on the lookout for their fun events, you might win something just like I did! ^^.

Check out the game via Google Play .

BIGBANG for Vogue Korea (2012)

Alive Tour in Seoul DVD: Taeyang Collage

Another photo collage up! Made a wallpare for Youngbae’s photos and screenshot from the Alive Tour in Seoul DVD.

My BIGBANG Euphoria : ALIVE Tour in Manila (24 -Oct-12)

I can still recall to bits and pieces my first K-pop concert adventure. I may not have seen all the things each member were doing but the feeling of sranding right at the front as a VIP made me more special.

BIGBANG at MOA Arena

The day tickets were released here in the Philippines was a stressful day for me.To make the long story short, I was able to get a pair of tickets after around 6 hours it was released. Me and my friend planned to get the lower box tickets but good seats were already taken, so we got the mid upperbox.

Around 2nd week of October I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 and there was an electronic raffle for Bigbang Alive tour tickets and limited edition of S3 cases. So there I was, in the Samsung store looking at the TV and my mom said,

“just buy it, maybe you’ll win the grand prize”

and said to myself,

“nah… that’s way too impossible”

My mind was set too win one of the 2000 winners of the BIGBANG cases.

Two days before the concert, I received a text message from Samsung asking to confirm an e-mail they have sent. I thought it was a joke as there was no e-mail in my inbox. Instead it was loaded in the Spam section. As I browse the e-mail, I just focused on the “you won an S3 case”.

I wasn’t able to read further as I got too nostalgic winning the S3 case. My sister looked at the e-mail and told me” hey, you didn’t only win the case… you got yourself a pair of VIP tickets too”.

VIP tickets with my S3 case.

I was so happy and the feeling was like I won the lottery. I got the tickets the next day and sold my old tickets via Twitter and it was instantly sold as tickets were already sold out in SM. On the concert day, Samsung called and offered me a pair of rehearsal tickets. I remained calm during the phone call but was sooooooo happy that I jumped for joy. Hahahahaha! I was informed of the rehearsal tickets around 1 pm and was told to get it before 2 and head straight to the concert grounds for the rehearsals. We were about less tha 100 people that were lucky to get in. No cameras were allowed which is a bummer, but It was an unforgettable experience for me. I was able to hold Taeyang’s hands as he walked in front of us. They sang and played on the SM MOA arena stage with no costumes and no make-ups. One thing that I found surprising is Seungri. Wasn’t a fan of him but when I saw him, I was like,

“gosh ang pogi!”(Handsome)

I was also able to exchange a hand wave with playful Daesung, as I made that retard wave, he waved back doing the same wave. Hahahaha! It lasted around 30 to 40 minutes or maybe shorter but for me it felt like it was shorter. I felt like I was on fast forward that day. I was having my best time and just ended when Taeyang said:

“I love you guys, now get out!”

MOA ARENA was a mess that day, I can’t say it was smoothly organized but heck, all ticket holders had one same line. There was a massive line at tbe side of the arena that when you get out of that line, you have to line-up again in front of the arena for the specific area of your ticket. They should have done that in the side of the arena from the beginning. This made the VIPs irritated all throughout the afternoon. Not all were even able to watch the concert on time because of this ticket system.

Anyway, so there I was in the standing VIP area. I had my older sister aacompany me since my friend had conflict with work schedule. In spite of standing and not being able to see everything since everyone’s so tall and and everyone was holding up there iPad (I hate you guys), I enjoyed it ^^. I Was only able to see from the extended runway to the extended stage. I had to tip toe to get a glimpse on the main stage which was not easy so I just watched it on the screen. My sister did all the video and picture taking stuff for me so I was able to watch the concert live and not thru my camera. Hahahah!

Here’s a taste of my sister’s photos. Made a collage and set it as wallpaper for my Whatsapp.

Bigbang in Manila

Hope they do come back here in the Philippines. I’m also hopeful the we’ll be included in GD’s world tour this year.

Yessir! That would be sooo much fun!
