We can hardly breathe as the crowd was as thick as a nimbus cloud. There were a few guest singers not known to me aiming to pacify the crowd’s excitement before Kim Hyun Joong’s arrival. Since we were there even before 6:00 PM, we have been waiting for at least an hour already standing with the crowds at the far end. We decided to just grab a burger at Brother’s Burger and gulped iced tea to relieve our thirst before we got back to standing and waiting. At around 7:05 PM, the handsome Kim Hyun Joong came and the crowd naturally went ballistic, cheering their hearts out. All the lucky 400 fans who had the chance to enter the event lined up as they literally high-fived Kim Hyun Joong. It was being announced that fans must only do hi-five, meaning no embracing and Kissing Kim Hyun Joong. However, kids were lucky because Kim Hyun Joong seems so fond of children and he kisses them as they go (and every time this happens, crowds cheer their tonsils out). After around 10 minutes of Kim Hyun Joong’s appearance, the event was concluded.

Because we were not able to get into the event and wasn’t comfortably sitting, I decided to go to The Face Shop, another one promoted by Kim Hyun Joong. I saw a poster with the details about Kim Hyun Joong Meet & Greet for August 26, 2011. In some earlier posts, it was said that if you buy P500 worth of The Face Shop products, plus you buy his album and two (2) posters for P500, you will have a chance of winning a) an individual Photo taking with Kim Hyun Joong on August 26, 2011 Mall of Asia, 10 AM (5 winners); b) Autograph signing with Kim Hyun Joong on August 26, 2011, Trinoma, 5:15 PM (100 winners) c) pre-signed KHJ Poster. The amount totaling to P1,000 is not a guarantee that you will get into the event, but rather, you’ll only have a chance of winning the prizes.

However, I saw today that if I buy P1,000 worth of The Face Shop product and buy KHJ’s album, I will have one admission pass to the August 26, 2011 event’s autograph session. I bought the package and I paid a total of P1,650, one P1000+ product, and the P500 album. I got the ticket but I read a note that it’s not valid for the autograph session. Now I’m confused but at least I don’t have to go there early as I already have a reserved seat. I wanted to invite my husband and my friend, but I know they’re not willing to pay P1,500 just to get an entrance to the event and I do not have another P3,000 to pay for their entrance. The sad thing is I won’t have anyone to take my picture. Here’s my ticket to the event (Picture C)

I also heard that there was an auction for KHJ’s signed Adidas Sports Shorts and bid started at P10,000, with bid increment of P5,000. Last day for bidding is on August 21, 2011.
