My Feb. LivingSocial: Albums App

February 28, 2009 — Leave a comment

I interrupt all those BackStreet Boys posts to show you my Facebook album/music application… I’m not an apps whore. I do not add every single application and ‘nifty’ test I get send by my friends. In fact, I almost always block everything now. Because I’m a bitch like that… LOL’ I do, however, have a couple of applications I always use… mainly Music, Movies, Books, and TV… the seldom Flickr one and those are pretty much that from public applications. I also use a travel application, but that’s estrictly for myself…

Anyway… here it goes~~~

Full BackStreet Boys Unbreakable Concert Review

February 27, 2009 — 2 Comments

Okay, if you haven’t read the Quickie one, do so here –

I needed some time to find the setlist, which I couldn’t really find so you’ll have to rely on my memory and how it connects the online videos of the concert. Lucky for you, Wikipedia did a fairly good job… I think.

Here’s the songs that were played:

  1. Larger than Life/Everyone/Any Other Way
  2. You Can Let Go/Unmistakable/I Want it that Way
  3. She’s like the Sun – Howie’s Solo
  4. Show me the Meaning of Being Lonely
  5. More than That
  6. Spanish Eyes
  7. Trouble Is
  8. Incomplete
  9. Drive by Love – AJ’s Solo
  10. Panic
  11. Blow your Mind/I Got You – Nick’s Solo
  12. Quit Playin’ Games (With my Heart)/As Long as You Love Me/All I Have to Give
  13. Nunca te Hare Llorar/I’ll Never Break your Heart
  14. Inconsolable
  15. Welcome Come – Brian’s Solo
  16. The One/Treat me Right/The Call
  17. Everybody
  18. Shape of my Heart (Encore)

BSB Unbreakable Latin America Photos!

February 27, 2009 — 1 Comment

It’s 4.20am, so quit it. I worked hard to get those photos out as soon as I could… over 700 photos, that were reduced to a little over 600, because 100 shots were awful. I managed to get at least 20% useable photos, some pretty good too~

But you’ll see…

All photos are not public yet, only half… but I’m already tired. They will be made public this afternoon. They are about 145 photos. Low resolution… big enough to post online and share via e-mail. If you do, a link back to amy-wong.com ~~ you’d better do.

For bigger resolution, I mean… RAW files~ or big JPGs, email me~ all contact info needed in the following link with the photos…

Head over here… watch and read.

BackStreet Boys

That one up there is a big stitch… 4 photos into one.

BackStreet Boys in Lima – Quickie

February 26, 2009 — 2 Comments

… Review.

Just got back about 30min. ago from the BackStreet Boys concert in Lima.

Prayer circle before the show in Peru! on TwitPic

And the only thing I have to say, I was not dissapointed. Even though the event started as annoying, and the male Bouncers lack the BALLS. Guess what! Female Bouncers carry the balls around these concerts~ Yes, they were the only ones who didn’t take shit from those who wanted to stand in the alley.

Arrived just in time, when Adammo was singing. Meh, they were okay~~ Their lights sucked though, so couldn’t get many pictures. They had that chick from Latin American Idol… you know, the one everyone says can’t sing? LOL’ – what’s her name… Sandra Muente – The girls behind me actually said Nicole Pillman sings better. I’m of the opinion neither does that great…

Then came Belanova, which was an UMPH better than Adammo, but hey! They are supposed to be less new, right? But stil, wasn’t too impressed with them. The lead singer, Denisse Guerrero, reminded me of  Jenny Schecter… which is not exactly a good thing, you know? – Mia Kirshner is prettier though.

And UGH, did they have to sing something from High School Musical? WTF, whatever song that was. High School Musical, please~~~ get a fucking grip! Funny thing is, when the singer announced it was their last song and they were leaving us with the BackStreet Boys, everyone stood up and SCREAMED their shit out. I actually felt really bad for both groups…

I did see a bunch buying the Adammo album though, so not so bad about it.

The WORSE part about those two, and the waiting for the BSB show was the freaking fans trying to sneak in the front rows through pretending to ‘just stand’ in the alley. Funniest shit about that? Everyone united together in a freaking epic battle against them calling the Bouncers, and shouting at them.

Once the police got involved – you know, nothing too serious… they just came in – all those ‘people’ (more like cattle) went to their backseats, and we all cheered just like Mel on Braveheart. Hilarious.

Then finally, the lights went out and the show began. It was AWESOME. Just what I’m gonna say until I get to work on my photos which will probably be in the afternoon, after my class. I took my 8Gb card, and it’s at least filled up to half. According to my calculations, I should be going through around 700 or 800 high resolution photographs.

In the meantime? How about some BSB Twitter…

OMG Peru!!! You guys are NO joke.

Wow. We almost killed a lot of Peruvian people. They were attacking our car and we almost ran over a whole lot of you.

LOL!

Just a tease… the show had a bunch of medleys of good old BSB songs – Quit Playin’ Games, I’ll Never Break your Heart, As Long As You Love Me, All I Have to Give, Everybody, Larger than Life, I Want it that Way, Show me the Meaning, The One, Spanish Eyes… or in this case “Peruvian Eyes” LOL, The Call, Shape of my Heart, More than That, Incomplete~~

Can’t really recall if they sang Everyone though~~

Videos online should be making its way through the week~

Photos this afternoon, or over the weekend~~~

Also! They said they were making the new album (as they mention on Twitter), and that they’d be back.

The BackStreet Party’s Alive in Lima

Oh yeah~

BackStreet Boys are finally in Lima. Actually, I just found out – because I was checking in case tomorrow’s concert was canceled… but no, it’s not. I’m excited. xD

But to tell you the truth, apparently not AS excited as some of the fans that went to the airport.

Crazy violent video, eh? Well, the guys are also twittering~~ and here are some of their funny twittering, typos and all~~ from their arrival to Lima.

OMG- Lima, Peru is crazy yo!! Hundreds upon hundreds of you at the airport. Wonder how the rest of the tour is going to stack up! Viva Peru!

Mmmmm…..Pisco Sours! Said in Homer Simpson style- HD + BL

Ceviche Time!! HD, Brock and Nic

Can you believe I’m eating again?? Howie

we are eating Loma Saltado! – (yes, they did type “loma” instead of  “lomo”) xD

See… everyone loves eating. Actually, I just had my fair bit of eating~~~ I did Chinese food though… REALLY good nonetheless~~

Anyway, am super excited for the concert. And should be going to bed to BSB music tonight to get in the mood.

Me @ J-MELO Site

February 22, 2009 — Leave a comment

xD – Just found me, while looking for times at the NHK Premium website – yes, ‘coz I still haven’t figured out if I will be able to see Yu talk about that book I mentioned posts behind… – not sure it will air in NHK Premium. What I did find, however, the times that Top Runner airs~~~

Wednesdays 6am GMT-5 – if you recall… Top Runner had Yu a while back. Check back on it here.

But yeah, on the J-MELO business… I emailed them once to thank them for the Miyavi introduction, as well as the Kobukuro one~~ And being the geek that I am, I sent a picture coz there was a field~ xD – I wonder if they ever read my email on the air… hahaha.
