On New Year's Day, Choi Siwon gave us the loudest explosion of all. At 5:08 PM, he tweeted:

All ELFs (EverLastingFriends of Super Junior, aka their fanclub) went on a frenzy, particularly the PhELFs (Philippine ELFs). Of course, I was one of those frantic fangirls who were wondering what Siwon would be doing here. And at such a short notice!
At 11:29 PM, he tweeted about his arrival and explained the purpose of his visit:
“I’m in Manila to shoot an ad. It’s not 12 o’clock here yet. Many things have happened in 2011 and I hope that in 2012, you’ll always be happy. Happy New Year. I love you.”
I'm sure my fellow ELFs who are Siwon-biased (me included) nearly fainted upon reading this message. Because I did.
The following day, Kyuhyun and Eunhyuk flew in, too. They were joining Siwon in the CF shooting for Kyochon, one of the largest fried chicken restaurants in South Korea. And the location was Eastwood!
I swear, if I had been living within that vicinity and if I don't have a son to worry about, I would most likely be one of the screaming fangirls in this photo. And yes, that's Siwon with his iPhone.

Some were even so lucky to get photos of the boys this close.

I am so green with envy. But then again, being a Mom comes first before being a fangirl. But if it's any consolation, I finally got these today.
 |
| Super Junior 2012 Diary. |
And these, too.
 |
| Super Show 3 DVD + Photobook. |
If you can remember, these two items were part of my
Holiday wishlist. I can cross them off now. Two down, eight more to go! Haha!
Here's how the photobook looks like.

| *spazz* |
I'm afraid this photobook is nothing like the $46.99 SS3 Photobook package. This one has fewer pages and has very minimal text. The more expensive one has 188 pages, and even includes behind the scenes photos plus quips and comments from all ten members. But since I'm more into the DVD, I really don't mind if the boys' names are the only text in this photobook.
Inside the diary:
 |
| The paper is nice. Not too thick, but not too flimsy, either. |
A closer look at the edges:
 |
| Eat your heart out, Starbucks! |
The photocards are an extra treat. You get ten one of them, one for each member. Heechul included!
 |
*and more spazz*
|
No other planner in the world could top this one. Ask any ELF, I'm sure they'll all agree.
Thanks to
YesAsia and the bonus coupons that they sent, I can stuff Siwon in my bag and take him wherever I go. And I can watch the boys in concert, too - right in the comforts of my living room. Of course, nothing beats watching the real thing. SS4 Manila, fingers crossed.
Newsflash: As of this writing,
Ms. Happee (the woman who made SS3 Manila possible) has stated that she can't do the same for SS4. It was a decision made by
SM Entertainment, the boys' talent agency, record label and producer. So much for my dreams of seeing the Sapphire Blue Sea.
*starts singing Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry,
Naega naega naega munjuh,
Nehgae nehgae nehgae bbajuh bbajuh bbajuh party baby
Oh well, I can always watch them on DVD. :)
Happiness is Super Junior!
