Life Crisis 101: EXO Lightstick or EXO'rDIUM?

New semester starts on February 13th 2017. As a third year college student, I've been frustated with my thesis proposal, yes, I'm starting my thesis this year. I was dreaded with the fact that I have to retake this certain class in the next semester because I got C. I want to cry...

Back to the topic, I'm feeling conflicted right now! My friends on Twitter are all talking about how excited they are for EXO'rDIUM concert that will be held in their own countries. EXO'rDIUM in Manila will be held on February 25th and 26th 2017, EXO'rDIUM in Malaysia will be held on March 18th 2017, and EXO'rDIUM in Singapore will be held on April 2nd 2017. EXO will also explore North America for their concert this year before they make a summer comeback. EXO'rDIUM in Newark will be held on April 25th 2017, EXO'rDIUM in Mexico will be held on April 27th 2017, and EXO'rDIUM in Los Angeles will be held on April 28th 2017.

The fact that EXO is coming to America, but not Indonesia, which is nearer, caught me off guard. What kind of headassery is this.


The promotor who invited EXO to hold a concert last year, Mecimapro, said that they won't be inviting EXO again this year because they can't find for a proper date for the concert because EXO has a really tight schedule. I don't know whether I have to cry or I have to cry. I'm waiting for another promotor to invite EXO but until now, there is no solid news about it. I have filled a petition for My Music Taste so that EXO'rDIUM will be held here too.

I didn't attend EXO's first concert on September 2014, The Lost Planet, because I had to do my new student orientation on my university and I couldn't miss that, of course, and in addition, my parents wouldn't let me. I also didn't attend EXO's second concert on February 2016, The EXO'luXion, because I was doing student exchange. 

The thing is, this year is the only chance I have to attend a concert, because I will be extra busy next year with the thesis and internship. I'm supposed to graduate next year and I hope I can do that. I have saved my money for EXO'rDIUM, but the promotor decided not to invite EXO here. I wanna scream, I wanna yell at people, I wanna cry so bad! I can't believe there is always be a barrier everytime I want to attend EXO concert. 

I'm so frustated, to the point I have used half of my savings for EXO'rDIUM to buy skincare products. Yes, I've been oggling on skincare websites, and vlogs a lot and I'm tempted to buy at least one product for every step to fulfil The 10 Steps of Korean Skincare Routine. I can't resist, and now I wanna cry to the possibility of EXO'rDIUM to be confirmed here in Jakarta. 

And I want to tell you, that EXO lightstick version 2, has been sold out since forever and there's no stock for it anymore in S.M Town Coex Artium, a shop selling so many goods from S.M Entertainment. Three days ago, there was a news from one of an online shops I know, that SMent will restock the official lightstick on April 2017 and they will only sell 5000 lightsticks. That's such a small amount! My friends on Twitter are all looking for the lightstick, especially the ones who will attend the concert but haven't bought the lightstick yet. You may say that this lightstick is rare to find and hard to get. 


I'm confused whether to buy the lightstick or no. If I buy it, then I can't possibly attend EXO'rDIUM if it's confirmed to be held in my country, because I don't have enough money to buy the standing ticket. And if EXO'rDIUM won't be held here, I will still be able to have the official lightstick and cry myself to sleep. If I don't buy the lightstick to wait for EXO'rDIUM to be confirmed, and let's say if EXO'rDIUM is confirmed, I still can buy the standing ticket, even when I don't have the lightstick. Let's say I wait for EXO'rDIUM to be confirmed, and EXO isn't going to come here, I will be doomed because I miss the deadline of the official lightstick preorder. I'm so conflicted, why is EXO making me frustated?

The preorder for the lightstick will be closed on February 23rd 2017, and it means I have to make decision whether I have to buy it or just wait for the concert that only God knows when. 

The lightstick is so pretty, in the picture, and I bet it looks prettier in my hand. 






I didn't buy the first official lightstick (the black colour one), because I thought that I can always buy it anytime in the near future. I don't know that SMent is actually releasing a new version of the official lightstick (the white colour one)! I got scammed. This is why I have to buy it for real, who knows there will be EXO-Ls official lightstick version 3, perhaps?

This official lightstick version 2 is more expensive than the first one, because the first one only has one colour, but the second version has 12 colours which can change colour if you connect it to this certain Wyth application from your phone! Isn't that cool? If you attend EXO'rDIUM, the lightstick will change colour automatically controlled by the staffs of SMent at backstage.  



You can see here in the videos below that the lightstick changes colour automatically and it is so so so so beautiful how the whole venue is filled with the colour! I have to witness this at least once in my lifetime!





I want to cry!!!!!!!! I really hope I can attend the concert one day.
