Hayy, kalilipas lang ng concert ng UKISS last June 14, 2010. Pero hanggang ngayon, I can't seem to get over it. Their songs keep on ringing in my head. Napadalas na din ang pagiging tulala ko. Are you experiencing these things also? If yes, then you've got the UKISS FEVER! Katatapos pa lang ng concert nila pero gusto mo na agad sila bumalik dito sa Pinas. Gustong gusto mong habulin sila kahit san man magpunta. Well, sinasabi ko sa'yo, walang gamot dyan except the members of UKISS themselves!
Malamang, marami sa inyo ay katulad ko din. Ang mga fellow KISSME's na umattend ng first ever concert ng UKISS. I never thought na tatatak sa isip ko un concert na yon. Inisip ko non, after ng concert nila, wala lang, back to normal. Pero hindi ko naisip na mas lalalim pala ang obsession ko sa kanila. I just hope na it won't interfere with my studies. Pero I'm doing my best naman to focus on my studies despite all the 'distractions'. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming UKISS for these. Is it their fault that they have to be that cute, charming, talented, hot and etc. I could go on forever praising these young lads. I'm really grateful to my friend, Michelle Vergara, dahil hindi ko makikilala ang UKISS nang hindi dahil sa kanya. Hmmm. What will I do without UKISS?
Ayun, about their concert. I really really really enjoyed it. Although hindi masyado napuno ang araneta, but the screams of KISSME's reflect twice as the coliseum. Hindi pa nga lumalabas ang stars of the show eh full support na agad ang mga kissme's. Pero that very moment na nag lights out, everyone was very excited to see our idols perform in our very eyes for the very first time. This was the scenario: Exactly 8:00PM
Next were their solo stages/performances. The first one to perform solo is Kevin. There was a short video presentation featuring Kevin introducing him for his solo perf. He sang Finally and alongside him is a girl which was his partner for the song. I don't know if they really kiss, but from the spot where I was, it seems like they really did. Throughout that performance, all the girls were so envious of his partner. The second and the longest solo performance was Soohyun's. Before Soohyun's perf, there was a short video interlude featuring Soohyun and the maknae Dongho. Soohyun went on stage first. He sang "Because of You" by Keith Martin. After Soohyun sang, Dongho joined him and they sang "Because of You" again but Neyo's version. After that, Dongho went backstage and Soohyun danced an instrumental solo with a fast beat. After Soohyun's long performance, the stage went black again and there was another video interlude featuring Eli, Kiseop and Kibum to introduce them for their 'triple' stage. Hindi ata matatawag na solo stage yun dahil 3 sila. 7 guys came from the backstage and started to dance to the tune of Stupid Cupid. Only Dongho, Kibum and Kiseop's face were not covered and the rest were wearing animal heads with matching costume. I guess that was only warm up since the real performance came after that. Eli, Kibum and Kiseop removed their costumes and revealed a very sexy outfit. They were dancing to Sexy Back sang by Justin Timberlake. To tease the fans, may kasama silang 2 babae that will serve as their partners. Everytime the girls will get close to the guys, hiyawan ang mga girl fans. And take note, sinayawan pa ng boys ang mga girls na yon. But nakalimutan ng lahat ng fans ang ginawang pagsayaw ng mga babae kasama ang boys ng UKISS nang biglang magtanggal si KIBUM at KISEOP ng shirt! OMG! Super hiyawan ang lahat ng mga fans sa loob ng coliseum! That was one of the moments that I will never forget. Paspecial si Eli at sya ang huling nag tanggal ng shirt. Sinira nya talaga ang damit nya at nanggigigil ipakita ang tabs, este ABS! haha. Pero sa ABS nila KIBUM at KISEOP, hands down ako. haha. And ofcourse, hindi mawawala si 'Adobosebio' natin. Muli, nagkaroon ng isang short video interlude introducing his solo perf. He sang and danced to Pump It by Black Eyed Piece. After singing, he paused for a short while to talk to their fans. He welcomed and thanked everyone for coming to their first concert and for making their dreams come true. Then, he talked about his surname since many were wondering why his lastname is Eusebio because Eusebio is a common Filipino surname. He said he asked his dad about it and Mr. Anthony Eusebio or as we call him, "Uncle. A", said that Xander's grandfather was spanish which decended from the... PHILIPPINES! Everyone was so happy to na kahit sobrang liit lang ng part ng pagiging Pilipino ni Alexander, meron parin kahit papano. And for once, many people were very proud of being a FILIPINO . Talking about Filipino, since Xander is a 'multilingual' person, he sang BEBOT by Apl.de.ap. YES, HE RAPPED IN FILIPINO! ALONG SIDE ELI! Before singing, he asked guidance from the fans to guide him throughout the song since he isn't familiar with it. And as expected, Xander did a great job pronouncing each word in Tagalog!
The next performances were very much awaited by the fans. Sasayawin nila yung iba't ibang songs from different girl groups! Before their perf, there was a video featuring different girl groups. Obvious enough, dun sa mga girl groups na yon manggagaling ang mga songs na sasayawin nila. These girlgroups were; Brown Eyed Girls, The Wonder Girls and ofcourse Girl's Generation. Kibum, Eli and Soohyun danced Abracadaba and Nobody while Kevin, Kiseop, Alexander and Dongho danced to GEE of Girl's Generation. It was an epic performance, all of them were so cute! After that performance, a filipino girl group called PYT performed three songs in which 1 of it was Telephone by Lady Gaga and 2 original composition songs. Sad to say, almost none of the Filipino fans were very responsive to the group but as performers, they continued to perform with confidence. Alas, UKISS again went onstage and performed Give It To Me and Mworago respectively. Again, after their performances, they talked to their fans and unexpected things began to happen, Kiseop and Kibum began to flash their abs, Soohyun was too shy to do it, Dongho danced to the tune of OH! While the fans were singing and lastly, Kevin and Alexander danced to the tune of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! All of those happen in a flash! Suddenly, the atmosphere changed and they sang a sad song. Hudyat na na magtatapos na ang concert. :(:(:( They sang As Long As You Love Me by Backstreet Boys without Kiseop. Kevin began to cry at that moment and many other fans including me cried too. Firstly, because Kevin was too overwhelmed by the fans that he cried and we were touched by his gestures and second, dahil kahit na ayaw namin isipin, alam namin na sooner or later kelangan ding matapos ng concert na iyon. After that, as if the atmosphere wasn't sad enough, that sang a sadder song. They sand End Of The Road by Boyz II Men and they flashed baby pictures of the members. I burst out crying because of the song and the pictures and the idea that this happening would end soon that it will only be a another happy memory, perhaps the happiest memory I could ever have. For their last planned songs, they sang OK! To brighten up the mood. They also sang Without You which was supposed to be their last song and started giving roses to the fans. But when UKISS were about to go off-stage, the fans were chanting for more! more! and more UKISS! To forgive the fans for their requests, they sang Man Man Ha Ni and Bingeul Bingeul as their last song. They bowed infront of the fans as a way of expressing their gratitude for all the support we have given them. And as exchange to their gesture, we screamed at the top of our lungs to tell them how much we love them. The concert ended at exactly 10:13PM with a Total of 20 songs. They promised to come back on summer, although not sure if it is summer in Korea or summer here in the Philippines. If they were talking about the summer in Korea, it means they will return here at the end of this year, and if they mean summer here in the Philippines, they will be back here between March-May 2010.
Sure enough, UKISS left a huge impact if not all, most of the fans. Their concert is the greatest memory I've ever had and even though pictures, videos and other records may be gone, they will forever be in my mind and in my heart. UKISS, SARANGHAE. FIGHTING!
