-------------------
At around 7:00am of February 26, 2011, Gian, Janel and I headed to Araneta Coliseum to start lining up for the Super Show 3 Manila. We went straight to the "red gate" to check how many fans are already there. We were actually surprised that we didn't see a single fan there. No fans sitting, standing, talking or fangirling. Not even a single fan.
Then, we went to the "green gate" to check if there are fans waiting there. Well yeah, we saw some fans. We asked someone if that's the line for the SVIP- Right, Standing but the girls said that it's for the SVIP Left. So.... the "red gate's" the entrance for the right side (we're SVIP-Right, by the way--beside the stage).
Then, we went back to the "red gate." We sat there thinking we were the first in line (we couldn't believe it, seriously. Akalain mo yun? Una kami sa pila?). Good thing, 2 girls approached us and told us that the line was actually at the sidewalk. When we reached the sidewalk....Whoah?! There were already around 50-60 fans who lined up!! :O
And the waiting has began...
To cut the story short, we waited for almost 12 hours. Sitting, standing, walking, talking and laughing.
By 4:30pm, they allowed us to enter... When we reached our section.... BOOM!
A very large and amazing stage welcomed us.
"Oh my God! This is it! Sh*t!!! It's finally here!!!"
2 hours left before the Super Show starts. Seats and other areas are slowly being filled by fans. Compared to SS2, a lot of fans came to watch SS3 because you won't notice the empty seats (yeah~~!!!).
So while we're waiting for the show to start, they played some ads and showed who were the sponsors for the concert. They played Super Junior songs as well.
Suddenly....
Fans started to scream at Sanuk's advertisement. Why? Because they showed Sungmin, Teukie and Heechul's pictures holding/wearing Sanuk! --->> Sanuk became the favorite advertisement for that night<<----
By 7:00pm, all lights were turned on. Voice over can be heard. Then, all the lights were off. Blue lightsticks were turned on. Fans screaming. Super Show 3 VCR/Intro played.
"It has started..."
First song was the remix version of Sorry Sorry (cool remix, by the way).
The first Super Junior member to appear was Donghae, who was being raised up as if he was floating in the air. Then, the big circle thingy on the stage was slowly being lifted and there we saw the remaining members who were kneeling down.
"Sheeets! I swear, I almost fainted when I saw Kyuhyun so up close! He was so handsome! More handsome in person!!!! (this was the part where they started moving.)"
I couldn't see the performance very well since they were dancing at the front (no choice but to watch it thru the big screen). I tried to video the whole performance but I don't know what the frack happened to my phone and it was not saved. "Oh sh*t!" (Well, almost all of the pictures I took and the videos I recorded got deleted. So, I was only able to take a few pictures.)
After Sorry Sorry, it was the Korean version of Super Girl. "No Zhoumi!!!! waaah! T__T"
Then, it was No Other. Sungmin and Teukie were flying!!! Throwing confetti to the fans! "It was raining blue confetti!" They looked really cute! The whole performance of No Other was really cute!!
I was able to get at least one of the blue (Japanese) paper!
(Aba! Nahawakan din ni Teukie yan noh!)
I can't really remember all of the highlights of the performances since I was too busy screaming and looking for Kyuhyun!
I'll just give you those that I can still recall.
----------------------------
1. Yesung's Solo Performance- It Has To Be You (Cinderella Sister OST)
-Yesung became my number 1 bias that night. This was the highlight of the whole concert. Most unforgettable moment.
Aside from Yesung's powerful and awesome voice, the fans were really great. The
fan project for Yesung's solo was SUCCESSFUL. We ma
de Yesung smile. "We made him smile!"
At the start of the song, fans were just screaming but when it was already the chorus part of the song, fans started singing. We sang along with Yesung. Before the second part of the song, he smiled. Yesung removed his earphone, shouted "everybody" and raised his mic. He let us sing the chorus part of It Has To Be You. He was swaying his mic, singing and smiling. He was smiling. He showed us a big smile...

I'm pretty sure he was touched with what we did for him. Aside from the smile he gave us, he said "Thank you very much!" and even tweeted about it right after the concert.

2. Poker Face (Lady Hee Hee) and Single Ladies (Shindong, Donghae and Eunhyuk)
- "Oh my fucking goodness! Kim Heechul is the prettiest and sexiest human being I've ever seen in my entire life!"
Oh yeah, before I forget, He's a man. Kim Heechul is a MAN.
Lady Hee Hee rocked the stage! He was so wild! He even ABUSED his female back-up dancer! "poor yet so damn lucky girl!"
Donghae, Hyukkie and Shindong were also wild! Especially the very-naughty-but-know-how-to-tease-the-fans Donghae!!! Donghae pulled down Shindong's dress exposing Shindong's chest! XDDD
Donghae was also cute being shy while dancing his part during the Single Ladies. He was covering his face!!
This performance was just too awesome and too hot to handle! Gahd, I swear! I'm not that pervert but I can't help but smile, laugh and I guess blush every time I see them dance! I can also their...yeah! You know what I'm talking about, ELF (who were there at the concert!)

3. Kyuhyun's Solo Performance- New Endless Love
-Finally! I got to hear this guy's angelic voice. I also got to see him
up close and again, he was so handsome!
Since my phone couldn't handle too much awesomeness that night, I couldn't take a lot of Kyuhyun's pictures and videos. *Sh*t* I was only able to get one close up but it's not clear (it's hard to take pictures while going gaga over Kyuhyun!).
(above pic is not during his solo performance)
Kyuhyun was wearing black long sleeves. Okay, here's a screen cap of what he's wearing.
(from sweetieuisa @YT)
Fans were screaming during his solo performance. Most of us, I guess, we're not familiar with the song so we couldn't sing along with him but still, his voice's still amazing. *Love you, Kyu bb*
4. Henry's Solo Performance- Baby (by Justin Beiber)
- First time liking this song of JB. If Henry didn't perform it, I wouldn't even listen to this song!
From playing the piano, singing, playing the violin and dancing. Wow! This boy is a GENIUS! We totally loved his performance! We were singing and at the same time shouting Henry's name! Well, looks like he loved it. Just like Yesung, he tweeted about it after the concert.

5. Bonamana
- Hot. Cool. Sexy.
Fans were all screaming (we're always screaming)!
Holy moly frackoly! I saw the pelvic thrust move LIVE and UP CLOSE! Again, LIVE and UP CLOSE!!!! Sheeeeeets! My eyes were focused on Teukie and Kyuhyun's pelvic thrust!
When we talk about Bonamana, who can forget the 83-line rape scene skinship? Teukie and Heechul did it again! Yeaaaaaaahhhh~~~ Heechul molested leader Teukie and leader Teukie enjoyed it! XDDDD
Oh and of course, Siwon's chocolate abs.. UNF
(No more pictures. I'm too lazy to add pics! XD)
6. All My Heart
- Highlight of this performance? The bridge part. Kim Heechul, the B-boy dancer! Yeaaah~~
7. EunHae's Performance- I Wanna Love You
- Aside from the nice song, what else is awesome with this performance? EunHae abs, of course! "Sheeeeets!" Well of course, the cool choreography.
8. Eunhyuk's Solo Performance- Down (by Jay Sean)
- Definitely a hot performance from our dearest, Anchovy!
He started it with an awesome dance and he was wearing this... *Sheeeets*
9. Don't Don
- Highlight? Super Junior with Trax and Henry playing the violin plus the flying members with the firework...errr, whatever you call that! Super cool!
10. Trax Performance
- Thank you Lord, thank you SME, thank you PULP for bringing this band here in the Philippines! Thank you for allowing them to perform at SS3 Manila!!!!
They were amazing! They performed as if they're the one having the concert and not Suju! Amazing and I'm starting to like them!
11. Rinaldo
-Suju playing imaginary musical instruments while showing a video of Kangin. "Sheets. I miss this raccoon guy!"
Fans raised their Kangin lantern. It was really nice and it would have been great if everyone raised the lanterns (I feel guilty. I didn't raise my lantern. Ang hirap kaya magparticipate sa lahat ng fan projects! Ang hirap hugutin nung mga banners sa aking paper bag noh.)
Aside from the lantern, fans shouted Kangin's name. The boys must have heard it.
12. Cooking! Cooking!
- Super Junior veggies appeared! *yummy!!!*
They were so cute! Yesung became the onion while Donghae, the broccoli.
Pumpkin Sungmin was the cutest, for me! When I was looking for Kyuhyun, I saw Sungmin on the floor. He was rolling on the floor and Hyukkie the sperm cell bean sprout was like kicking him.
I even watched a fancam of that and gahd. Sungmin's, no doubt, the Prince of Aegyo! I wanted to snatch him and take him home!!!!
13. Sungmin's Solo Performance
- From being a cutie pie, Sungmin transformed into a hot guy! Kyaaaaa!
He was dancing with the sexy girls! He's allowing those girls to rape him! Sungminnie!! XDD
Oh! Oh! And I got to see Sungmin's tattoo!! So his tattoo's real.
14. Wonder Boy
- The last song they performed that night.
Fans were supposed to do a flash mob dance but I don't think they were able to do it. Well, it's okay since everyone's so hyper at that time.
15. Ending Talk
- Henry Lau became the spokesperson of the group-- and Leader Teukie's interpreter!
I fell in love with what he said...(not really sure if they're the exact words Henry said)
"You guys are loud!"
"We've been to a lot of different countries but Philippines has been the loudest!"
After he said those, fans screamed louder!
They also mentioned about Super Junior's 5th album (fans screamed) and that they hope to be back soon.... *Sheeets! Come back soon, Super Junior!!! We'll definitely wait for your return!!!! Kyaaaaa!*
Henry, Donghae, Hyukkie and Yesung did the "kiss-the-thumb-goodbye thingy" and I think fans did the same---well I did that.
Teukie remained at the stage. He was actually at the front stage, talking to some of the fans and then he threw his shirt. (according to some fan reports, Teukie gave his shirt to an old lady. Teukie is such a nice leader. He's the best!)
He was the last one to leave the stage. Did a 90 degrees bow, waved to the fans and left the stage.
The End...
-------------------
12 hours of waiting plus the "singitan factor" were all worth it!
I got home at around 11:30pm but I was still hyper. I didn't feel tired at all. My body did hurt-- especially my feet-- but I couldn't sleep and was still feeling high because of the concert. I went to bed at around 3:30am. Haha!
What Ms. Happee Sy said about SS3 Manila being the bomb was true. It was indeed, A BOMB! Super Junior rocked Araneta Coliseum!
Super Junior enjoyed the show and I'm sure of that. I'm sure they felt how much we, Filipino ELF, love them soooo much.
