Me, Meanne and Sir Hubs watched "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn part 1" The ticket was kind of expensive, 350 php but it was for charity. We got the tickets from Meanne's cousin who was one of the organizers of some charity event. Since its Twilight, heck I did go and it was for a good cause.
A short recap of the movie as not to spoil people who didn't read the book, the pacing was fast but it did capture all the important scenes beautifully; especially Isle Esme.Bella's transition from a newly wed, her suffering as she was pregnant, being a near corpse to her birth as a vampire was amazing and it was very, very convincing. The last scene was Bella opening her eyes and it showed that she had been reborn as a vampire with her blood-red irises.Though the pacing was fast and it lacked the scenes from when Jacob realizing his destiny as an alpha of the pack, Jacob and Rosalie's bickering (dog and blondie jokes)it made up with the amazing scene of Bella helplessly trying to seduce the resistant Edward, now that scene was funny. Not to mention Jacob imprinting on Renesmee, now that is funny; imagine your best friend imprinting on your daughter, awkward!
Although I did want more, I'm secretly anticipating the 2nd part. Oh, and for a little spoiler there was a bonus scene; it involved the Volturi, Aro, Caius, Marcus and some random girl but I won't say anything more.
I love this fan made Breaking Dawn poster. Now I'm anticipating Bella's vampire transformation
Seriously, voting nonstop for the MTV EMAs was a first for me. I think my hand hurt with all that voting and refreshing then maxing out the days number of votes religiously.
When Big Bang won the Asia-pacific region, they were instantly nominated for the Worldwide act for the show proper and that was voting nonstop part 2.
My plan was not to watch the EMAs live cause it will only cause me this anxiety and nervousness which was a rare experience. To win the worldwide act, it would be based on online votes alone. By the way, MTV EMA will be giving away the worldwide act award for the first time. Talk about pressure.
It would be broadcast live 10 PM their time and 6AM our time (Philippines) my sister was wide awake and streaming the EMAs, for some reason I woke up and then I couldn't sleep. So I decided, heck, come what may I have to watch it.
Big Bang on the red carpet (its nice to see them as 5 once again)
When they said that the next award to be given away will be "The worldwide act" award where the winner will be judged by the fans all over the world. I was like o_O (this is it....)
The nominees were: Restart (Latin America), Big Bang (Asia-Pacific), Lena (Europe), Britney Spears (North America), Abdelfattah Grini (Africa/India/Middle East) - that was a tough competition. And by this time I was shaking.
And when they announced the winner to be: Big Bang from Asia-Pacific, I started screaming (which my sister told me not to, but did anyway) it was 6AM and I was screaming! And I cried, seriously? I don't cry. I really don't and this was a first for me. I don't know with all the news that wanted to crush them, this is certainly the opportunity that would let them know that VIPs will forever be with them.
Re-living the moment. Big Bang won!
It's nice to see Dae's smile once again. TT6TT
And this was their speech (although we can see how elated they are that they don't know what to say)
Jiyong: (in Korean) Woah, its amazing! Thank you so much! We are called Big Bang from South Korea! It's nice to see you and this award is all the more valuable because its a present that you, fans, gave us. I would like to thank our fans, VIP once again! And through this opportunity please take interest in Korean Music and Big Bang even more from now.
Bae: (in English) This is only because of our fans, they are with us through our ups and downs, thank you for standing by us. Thank you MTV! Thank you so much!
2011 has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions for the boys; the amazing comeback, the Dae car accident issue, Jiyong's marijuana issue. But through thick and thin, VIPs all around the globe will be the boys' strongest support system. And winning the MTV EMA Worldwide Act award has proven that. That is how we love them, we will be there through the ups and downs.
And the best gift they returned after we gave them the award? Seeing 5 of them in an official event once again. Jiyong's speech, Bae's raising of the award, Baby Ri's wave, Dae's smile, and Tabi's flying kiss.
There is one thing I knew after this though: VIPs are not lazy to vote anymore. LOL~ Yea~ Tabi we are not lazy anymore.
Throughout the whole show, Big Bang is number one in MTV EMA's twitter tracker. Oh yea~ VIPs~
And they are at the front page of the MTV EMA site.
Here is the banner of their official youtube channel
VIPs, we made it happen and I'm proud of something so wonderful.
We will always be with them. We made it possible. We made history. First MTV EMA Worldwide Act Award = Big Bang
