080725 LA MEET: SUCCESS!

lol. it took me a while to get these posted, but i’m here to update our fansite on the first (& hopefully not the last) of 2008’s Project Meet & Greet.

LA is definitely a huge place, but i’d say 10 people total of LA MEET’s attendance was WAY more than enough. i was overwhelmed by the turnout & the determination of all the VIPz who made it out to the meet. from convincing parents, to taking trains & buses, to the lame traffic, & to enduring a big city to find the directions to the many places we were going, i would like to thank everyone who came out for the MEET. it’s cuz of your determination to make it, that made the LA MEET, in my opinion, a huge success. i loved meeting you all, & i’m definitely down to meet up again!

shout outs to the attendees:
–JESKA of Pasadena/K-TOWN, my co-coordinator & co-host. finally got to meet you! i’ll eat with you next time so you don’t have to eat on your own next time!

^ i busted out my laptop & played the GREAT DVD, everyone got their greasy hands on the DVD photobook lol. it’s pearl right up close to the laptop.

^ asian pose! lol so my batteries on my laptop were running low, & i tried to plug it in next to those kiddy rides in the back, & the security got so mad at me… lol

^ more angles. everyone’s paying attn to SR/DS solos xD

^ i think this was SR pouring his heart out. we had like 2 members of TEAM SR. it was intoxicating.

^ haha this halmoni was looking at us like weirdos, she kept walking past our table while we all screamed over those hot korean boyz on my laptop screen, & like… i saw her walk back to her husband, & i was like OMGOSH, that is SOOO ME & GD WHEN WE ARE OLD. “this goes out to ya, baby.” xD

^ one of my goals was to raid a korean music store & find the BB section, & i walk into the store, & the first thing i saw was YB’s album. then STEPH went crazy & i noticed the photobook was right there & i was like WTH & she was like OMG i’m gonna buy it! i was like TIGHT how much is it? & it was .. $40 BUX! i was SOO MAD cuz i got mine for $50. -____- well lucky steph for claiming it, & your welcome for the good deal. in fact, your welcome to BB, cuz we be buying BB stuff to no end. ❤

^ sarah, sarah, & steph by the BB goodies.

^ little did i know, there was another stash of BB stuff. CRAZY HUH! never in my life did i touch so many BB merch at once. lol

^ there it is again. damn. (pearl, the crazy girl was like hmm i have this one, this one, that one, oh i have all of em lol. darn you!)

^ my awesome roomie liz, whose mom is manager of ktown plaza decides to take us “tourists” around the plaza, & jessica & yvonne stop by a lil cute store & jessica bought this cute cell phone chain thingy. xD

^ rofl. i had to drag our whole group back to take pix w/ the BB merchandise. LOOK BOYZ! we’re advertising for you! <333

^ round 2. we totally look like noobs. the store owner looked at us funny.

^ i had to capture one of the greatest moment’s in stephanie’s life: purchasing the BIG BANG HISTORY PHOTOBOOK. hahahaha.

^ believe it or not, these critters are ERASERS! how could you use up such precious things?

^ shopping like noobs. haha.

^ i love these lil shops. you wanna touch EVERYTHING.

^ candid! it took about 5 takes lol

^ OOOH! remember the HUGE WHITE TEDDY BEAR each member hugged & made love to? well, we found the same bear (so we think) & we all were mesmerized & envious of its beauty & decided to have our own lil photoshoot w/ it.

^ pearl, or PEA-RI as she calls herself (pearl + seungri = PEA-RI lol) went & copied SR lol.

^ she was too shy to hug the big thing.

^ these sisters are too adorable. gahh. do you see sarah’s dogtag? i was like wth! lol her dogtag says SEUNGRI on one side, & SARAH on the other side. that’s mad love <333

^ HAHAHHA aiite. so as i was walking out of that store, these handmade cards caught my eye. esp this one. guess wat i was thinking? “ME & JIYONG… VERY SOON!” lol. joyce tried to convince us all that it was her & jiyong, but we all know the truth xD

^ CANDID!

^ LA MEET 2008 group. <333

^ THERE IT IS! lol

^ CANDID!

^ CANDIDS!

^ well we got boba, & went outside to sit. i finally learned how to count to 10 in hangul. & no one else wanted to learn… well a funny moment here was that, i pulled out my cell phone & bumped BB hella loud, expecting that we all sang along, but we’re such shy group. i was more into finding some random ppl who would catch the BB craze, cuz BB is so well-known & whatnot, but the crowd sitting outside was filled w/ old ppl. but i was DETERMINED! so i played LIES first. it’s so famous. & i coulda sworn this one dude behind me wanted to sing so bad, so i kept looking back at him discreetly, & sending him subliminal messages like “YOU WANT TO DO THE NODS & SING KOH JID MAL!” but it didnt work. so i tried LAST FAREWELL, & i really thought this time would work, but i looked to another guy on my left, & all the while, the girls were laughing at me so bad… & i tried to look if INSIDE had more interesting ppl, but it was the same crowd, so uh… we gave up, & that’s when we went home lol. OH WELL =\

^ lol jeska was trying to be “artsy” with all these B&W pix.

overall, it was a fun day. 5 hrs of fun! thanks again to all those who came!
