I'm watching Beast's MTV Docu and because I was SO amused with Hyunseung's 'OMGZ AMAJINGGGGG!!! 8O " - face once again, I ~skillfully~ made this totally photoshopped image! (lol!)

Now 2009 & Then 2006

*edit* gifs because liliabloom requested HAHA

WOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE I MADE ACTUAL HYUNSEUNG GIFS, FEEL SPECIAL, HYUNSEUNG. XD

Remember when in their docu, Big Bang had to split into A & B teams to create original choreography? Yeah, in ep. 2 of Beast's docu, they had to split into A & B teams and each had to sing "You Make Me A Good Man". I was LOL-ing because Hyunseung has like the SAME EXACT reaction when he's watching the other team! XD The B team had AJ, Doojoon, and Dongwoon..and they were really good at harmonizing. So yeah, that's just it..just wanted to share Hyunseung's unchanged SHOCKEREDDDD FEZZ! LOL He needs to, like, close his mouth before I fly zooms in there..hah~ idk why this boy always looks like he's just witnessed a murder! I mean, not just these times where he's watching others, but even just generally with his 'deer in the headlights' stare. XD

And..this might be the most unnecessary gif I've ever made but part of it shows when Hyunseung rejects AJ's hi-five (HDU!!!! YOU AND YOUR HK HAIR CUT >:O) and then when AJ randomly spazzes out while they are assigning beds and no one seems to care/notice. lol

And because I couldn't resist...

"Because of you~" ♥

& for iannechef & well...liliabloom likes the duck lol

Oh, and I freaking tortured myself watching Min Hyo Rin kissing AJ over and over and over again in the making of a Sunkist CF!!!! D8 DX OX Gah, good thing I like that actress from Triple or I'd go make a dart board of her face! JK!! If I were her I'd mess up on purpose too! AND GURL, I KNOW YOU MESSED UP ON PURPOSE! IT'S AJ!!!! XDDDD

OMFG!!!!! MOON x BIGBANG

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:55:38 GMT

MOON OF MARVELOUS MOTION IS GOING TO WORK WITH BIG BANG/BIG BANG'S COMPANY. He's from dope dance crew - Marvelous Motion - from Houston, Texas!

"if you in asia get ready, i will be workin with big bang's company and will teach some workshop as well, but i will c you at san deigo first"

via Marvelousmoon @ twitter

If you're wondering why I'm freaking out right now (more than I should be) it's because two of my friends are dancers in Marvelous Motion crew! D: They know Moon so I know they are excited for him, since it'll be a big opportunity for him and it'll be awesome how he'll be reppin' Marvelous Motion!!! And he likes Big Bang a lot too! 8D

As soon as iannechef alerted me to this news, I freaked out and had to call my friend Thina immediately to confirm this! Apparently he already submitted his choreo videos, a lot of which involved tutting and popping etc. his usual style. Ahhh, I'm super happy for my friend cuz' she's in one of them and the head shots Moon turned into YG were the one's she took.^^ I'm just...all kinds of excited, especially when I told her the what if's of how she could actually be helping in choreographing some of Big Bang/Taeyang's next dance moves. Crazy. It's kind of all in the works, but let's all pray and hope it goes well for Moon! This is awesome for him and his team!^^ It's cool also how YG and all them other companies are starting to look for new choreographers from out here, different styles and stuff.

My friend also told me how YG also called for GiGi Torres from Essence! She's probably going to be working with 2NE1!!

It's funny also cuz' tonight Thina was at a club to watch Moon freestyle in Far East Movement's performance set! It was her first time seeing FM perform and she liked them a lot. Anyways, so she was up and awake when I called so there was a lot to spazz about. XD She's a real big Big Bang fan, so were just about dying on the inside and had to let it out on the phone..hahaha

I guess this might be one of Moon's submission videos. I just wanna show this cuz Thina is hella up in the middle..lol xD yay && she said she'll keep me updated by ear..lol..

yup yup, cheers for the Marvelous Moon!! *O*

Down Down Down

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:47:40 GMT

wtf, this is so good. lol listen to it! 8D

&&& if you're a high school student and will be in the LA area on Sept. 5th, you should check out this workshop! it's the day before the ISA concert in San Gabriel^^ I'll be helping out here & and at ISA~! I know some of my f-list chingoos live in Socal so if you can pass on the word even if you're not going, I'd most appreciate it^^ lol I made this poster...I had to resave it though off of someone else's FB cuz I reformatted my laptop and deleted everything so it's not as crisp, but here's what it looks like. very plain, but hopefully all the important info sticks out! does the background look familiar? LOL XDDD

beats by dre headphones - all that and a bag of chips?

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 08:28:08 GMT

I've been eyeing those headphones for awhile now..I think back when I first saw Se7en wearing them in pictures, and then GD at Big Show and I guess Lady Gaga too along with the Dre Dr. Pepper CFs (lol). I did my lil' ~research~ before and basically they are suppose to have really amazing sound quality - everything in a song that an artist/producer/composer/etc had meant for you to hear. Well anyways, tonight I was hanging out with friends and itswinniechu brought her beats headphones and I got to try them~!
The verdict:

....wtf? they are pretty SWEET.. ;__________; I kinda wish they weren't, so that I wouldn't want them. xP

Okay, how do I describe this to you....well if my shitty earphones in the past and present have always sounded like the music is coming from a distant party happening somewhere down the block and around the corner, that of which - I'm not invited to...LOL...then listening to music through Beats By Dre headphones is like...

I FINALLY FOUND THE PARTY!
I'M AT THE PARTY!
BIG BANG IS PERFORMING AT THE PARTY!
AND THE PARTY IS ACTUALLY ALL HAPPENING IN MY EARS! *O*
THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S MY PARTY!

LOL!
They are that good. (in comparison to my own headphones, but I hear Bose headphones are quite good too)

The only thing though is that they run on AA batteries and my friend said she had to replace them about 4 times this week, causing her to be shady steal all the batteries from the remote controls in her household..ROFL. So seeing as they are hella expensive..I wouldn't want to get them right now because of that flaw alone. I mean seriously when is the last time I actually needed to go and buy batteries for something I own? Um, close to never! I'd like to keep it that way. I DO want Beats By Dre but I'll wait out for a 2nd generation or possibly 3rd..haha..where hopefully they improve battery life and have some kind of charger for it. I'd also want them customized as well~ I guess for now, if you bought the headphones, they'd be great for light home use, but if you listen to music like..every day and most of the day like I do then the hassle of changing batteries again and again might be too much. =/ Even if they are not beats headphones, I'm on the lookout for some good headphones...especially when I listen to my techno songs, I need to have the kind of headphones where you hear every.single.thing. It's the best way to appreciate those types! Btw, I exaggerated above with my headfones/earfones...the current ones I have now (my grandpa gave me my old ipod ones that I left on Guam) are more decent than my previous ones. The party may not be happening in my ears/head..but I'd say it's happening outside my door?..lol.. wtf..idk why I use these comparisons..but srsly..my old headphones ..you couldn't find the party in your own neighborhood! DX ughhh

le sigh~
...I'M TELLING YOU - BEATS BY DRE - I FOUND THE PARTY! XD LOL

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Big Bang~

Seungri you better watch out for Gaho~! D8

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:31:13 GMT

Ah, internet is slow tonight so I can't watch YGtv til tomorrow but here's some stuff my friend Ara(bigbangnyuh) was telling me of the episode when she was watching it. I can tell I'm gonna be cracking up even more watching this!! XD

They are at the MV set and then GD's like "From what I think, I'm sure YB will come. But the other members.. idk, because they're so busy. But, YB~ call!"

GDYB<333333

Talking about his puppy Gaho:
"Ah, I like this smell when you first buy puppies. The smell of them not bathed."
"Hyung likes you a lot~"
"Because you don't make me bored."
"Ha... I live with Seungri but I don't even see him. Just him (Gaho) and I sleep together."
and then Gaho's like playing with the stuffed animal
and GD's like "YEAH. RIP IT! RIP Seungri like that when you see him~!"
"I keep having trouble sleeping bc of the dog. he bit my nose!! you watch when you grow up.. you and seungri. I'll make sure you rip Seungri~!"

LOLOLOL. I love how GD is secretly teaching his puppy to attack Seungri (lol who is also his roommate!) while Seungri is away. XDD Oh the love just doesn't stop huh? XP LOL YEAH RIP IT! HAHA

Talking about his bed with the man&woman on his bedsheets: "I always sleep with a pretty woman and man, the three of us. While tickling their feet. The man's name is Tom and the woman's name is Laura.Some people call me perverted, but it just means I'm that lonely."

XDDD I LOL-ed and then I AWW-ed. Those are some pretty wicked bedsheets tho..lol.

Kush talking about GDtv:
"When's GDtv airing? You should make it short, 3 episodes. Short but strong."
"Make it short and just end it."
"You need something strong for your solo album."
GD: "Hyung.. you keep pushing me there. I can't get criticized more. I can't die now from the criticism I've already gotten."

GD, always so aware..lol...aww

GD is sad that the other members haven't come to visit him, and then he sees YB and GD is all cheesin'! XDD
Kush: "You're too happy"
GD in a kid tone: "Youngbae you came?!!!" 8D
YB:"Please criticize/cuss the other members for not coming."(they're the same word) and TOP is there and actually cussed at them..LOL and YB cracks up!

Yeeeee~~~ I love that GD is so giddy about seeing YB<3333

YGtv is kinda random..lol..it's like..never consistent with the 2NE1tv and other stuff..lol..I mean I don't mind but I thought YGtv was just gonna be 2NE1tv and then they keeping throwing Big Bang in and giving me surprise attacks..D8 I think Mnet is just like...going with the flow..so hope they do extend the episodes to more...cuz it's ep. 8 right now and it's suppose to end at 10 but the PD at the end of this ep. was teasing that he might add more eps. D: more Big Bang tv please~

"WORDS!" meme

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:53:23 GMT

from tiffonemo

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

Young Bae: It's interesting how Tiff picked 'Young Bae' for me over 'Tae Yang' lol but I guess in my case, I do call him Young Bae more than Taeyang, huh? ^^" I often interchange the names I call him though - to me he is Taeyang on-stage and he is Young Bae off-stage. But he is one and the same. The man with the gentle half-moon eyes but with the passion of a thousand suns. The B-type living like an AB. An exquisite artist. I could go on forever, so what does he mean to me? He means more to me than I let on... Of course you might already know how much I respect him. But..my love and admiration for him, in some sense, is more quiet, more protected and sometimes selfish.

sushi: I LOVE SUSHI, BUT WHY IS MY FAVORITE OF FOODS SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE?! D8 It's one of my weaknesses. You can bribe me with good sushi. LOL! I haven't tried all the sushi in the world, but that's what makes it so un-boring to eat! Sushi can be so lovely and creative. Maybe it's art you can eat? A simple Dragon Roll is a piece of heaven for me! LET'S GET SOME SUSHI! (when I have money! D:)

the7real: LOL my screen name. I guess it's weird. The way I read it, is that it's 'the real' and the '7' is silent! ..I told you it's weird. lol. AND, I only like it when it's spelled exactly the7REAL. WITH the period at the end. ...It's for aesthetic purposes. XD Whenever I see it written as 'the7real' especially on this LJ link, I think it looks really fugly. Haha. It all started with a lil' song called "Lalala" 'I I I I like THE REAL shit. You you you you like THE REAL shit. All my peeps we like THE REAL shit. etc. Me and my crew only bust with THE REAL shit.' XDDD So I figured if Big Bang and everyone and they mamas like THE REAL shit...then hey, I wanna be THE REAL (shit). XD YES I AM LAME, WHUTEVZ. (kekeke it's like they are singing about me...pwuaha I'm delusional) It also was around the time Big Bang were preparing for their first concert 'The Real' so on radio shows they( especially TOP ) would constantly whisper "da reaaaaaal" into their mics or bust out and say "the REAL!" like ALL THE TIME and randomly. They said it so much that I found it so amusing and it stuck with me so I finally just made it my screen name first on old YGBB. And then everywhere else I put a 7 in the middle because 7..is just because I love Se7en..lol. I pretty much use it everywhere online because its such a bother for me to have to make up new names that I'll just forget. These days I am tired of looking at it and the aesthetic-ness has worn off. I want a new one but I can't think of anything..plus I'd then want to change my screen name all over the net. DX Ugh, I'll just keep it.

patbingsoo: Can you believe I just tried my first bingsoo only at end of last year?! Since then, I've only had it about 3 times! AND I LOVE IT. The first time I tried it was when se7eneleven took me to Ktown in NYC and it was love at first taste! *O* It's really refreshing and I like it better than Filipino Halo Halo, because I'm not into jelly-like ..things.. but I def love shaved ice, green tea ice cream, various fruits, red bean and that yummy milk stuff all in one! It's so refreshing~ I want some right now! T_T

drawing: Really? Hmm. Honestly, I have not drawn anything in a long time.. DX It's really sad when I think about it, because I used to draw a lot when I was younger. And now I'm afraid that I'm losing that feeling for it, losing my touch for drawing. I'm not amazing or anything but I was alright. The few chibi things I've drawn in the last few times were hardly anything I would have drawn before in my younger years. In fact, I only started learning to draw chibis when I first got into Big Bang and even then, it's not even really that kind of perfect manga/anime style that my other friends can draw. In some ways I think I got used to doing that style that it damaged the way I usually draw? idk? I haven't picked up a pencil and tried to see if I still got it. It's funny because it's not like I love to draw..no way..it was more of a hobby I did whenever I felt like it. And I really don't like to draw when other people ask me to draw..lol..it's weird. Maybe it's because I'm not as fast in drawing as other more skilled people...and I feel pressured..lol. Me and art and drawing..we go way back..so much so that all that other family members remember me by is "Oh Jeri is the artist. She can draw. She's so creative~" ..but I'm not..so I kind of feel awkward that I don't even do that stuff anymore, and don't feel as creative...that I'm not even this artist that some people expect me to be. Even when I did draw, nothing ever just came raw out of my mind to put on paper, I'd have to be inspired by something...I have to see it clearly in my mind. So when I was little, I like to copy things..like smaller drawings..I can re-draw it and rescale it to a bigger size. Nothing special..just looking at something and...mimicking..lol..or I take something I've seen and put my own spin on it. These days, I am still interested in doing art but the more electronic types I guess? Graphics? They aren't even that great...and I'm interested in videography..or..editing videos..lol. To me drawing is spontaneous..again, a hobby. Maybe one day I'll feel like it and be all "la la la, I'm gonna draw" just because I can. I like using different mediums as an expression of art, I wish I could learn to use different kinds. Sometimes I like making crafty things..like that time I made a doll for YB..lol..that was random..but working on things with your bare hands seems rewarding when you see the end product. The thing is though, I have to be in the mood for art. The feeling..it comes and goes. But if I can picture it in my head, I will do it. Hmm, I feel like drawing Minji and 2NE1 lately, but I haven't done it yet. We'll see what happens..Minji especially is becoming my muse.. XD So, sorry for rambling but basically drawing = It's just a hobby I haven't done in a long time. =/ Btw I'm OCDish when I DO draw. In my room at home I have a drawing desk that I've had for awhile so that you can adjust it to slant the way you want it to. I think that's the most comfortable way for me to draw. In any case, I think I've saved more trees since I stopped drawing..I used to be really horrible with crunching up paper into balls and wasting them. ;o;

The Big Show 04: "Hey....this ain't Lotte World!..D8"

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:43:24 GMT

2ND CONCERT DAY: Saturday, January 31, 2009 - the day of the 6PM concert

We woke up early to get ready for another full day. Anne woke up first because she had to get ready to go back to Incheon. =( I think we ate some snacks that they had bought the last night at a convenience store and also the FREE brownies we got after the concert that I forgot to mention - they were just giving them out after the concert. So good~ Of course I should mention them, they were good & free! lol 8D

Me and Anne, Anne and I~ lol

When we got to the lobby, we saw life-sized card board cut outs of Big Bang in front. Things like that really made me appreciate the tour service because they always liked to put a little Big Bang touch into everything.

After we took pictures with them, we said our goodbyes to Anne before going on our bus. I was really sad that we didn't get to spend much time together but I did appreciate the fact that I could even meet her at all. We live so far away from each other, even though of course I always wanted to meet her, I didn't think it could ever happen, at least not so soon. Sometimes I do this thing, where I have to look at the person I'm saying goodbye to and who I know I won't be seeing for a very long time. I have to really take that last mental picture, so their image is with me for a long time. Take the person in with my eyes..lol ToT And now I so clearly remember the last time I saw Anne, and hopefully it won't be the last. It was wonderful just hanging out with her for a bit. I'm happy to have finally met her forreal in my life. Anne, I miss you~!

When we got on the bus, we were excited for the day ahead of us because this day we were scheduled to go to Lotte, and then seeing Big Bang during a rehearsal and then the concert again. To my surprise, we ended up being taken to lunch at some restaurant. We had to go upstairs and the whole floor was reserved for us. We took off our shoes and ate sitting on the floor. We had bibimbap! And all the banchan that comes with it. It was so good, of course out of all the bibimbap I ever had, it would taste the best in Korea..lol. xP

We even got to know some of our tour mates while having lunch with them, Susana having to translate between us all but it was really nice finally getting to talk to a few of the Japanese fans.^^ We found out that the two of them were fans of SOL and V.I and went to the first concert separately as well.

After that we got back on the bus again to go to Lotte World! ...or so we thought. lol. When we got to the building, I had to laugh to myself, because we weren't at Lotte WORLD, instead we were at Lotte DUTY FREE department store! LOL. XD Awww. In my head, I was srsly like, "Wait a minute, this isn't Lotte World!! DX" I didn't really have the money to spend on anything here but they ended up giving us these duty free coupons so I think two of them were worth a certain amount of money and therefore, everyone could get something if it was under the limit of the coupons! I ended up getting cell-phone charms for some friends back home and cute souvinier magnets for my grandparents. They actually cost more than the coupons so I paid the difference anyways.^^ After getting my items, we ended up checking up on different floors (this place was fancyy!!) and found a convenience store in the underground floor. I had my YB sign that I took from the previous day but I needed scissors so that I could cut out the 'stalker' part of the sign..lol. The two young workers were busy talking to each other behind the counter when I came up to one of them and said, "Excuse me, do you have scissors?" Immediately, this girl just stares at me as if she did not expect to be hearing English so early in the morning or something..lol. (I don't blame her, I was getting used to being stared at like a leper whenever I spoke English so whatevz) I was already used to freaking people out with my English usage so I just thought it was cute.. I had to make the scissor hand gesture though and ask again, and she gave me one and even helped me to cut the poster by holding the other end. I know she probably read the poster and thought I was weird in the first place for having something that says "youngbae stalker" but whatever, at least I cut off the stalker part right?! lol XD

lol darn, wish we went to Lotte WORLD instead..xP

Back on the bus and here's my rehearsal pass/lanyard!

When we arrived at Olympic Park, the tour guides let us know we had some time to look around and shop and stuff before we would meet up again to get into the rehearsals. It was really early, it must have been before 3pm or 4pm. There were the merchandise booths, a Cyon booth, NII, and a Baskin Robbins..all with very long lines and apparently all with free goodies/posters. There was also the LookKorea one we went to the first day and later I found out there were tents where people could pay the staff to watch after their belongings like merchandise while they were at the concert.The first tent we went to was the FILA one..they had posters and diary calendars and all the BB FILA merch. Ooh~Ahh~ lol All the tents had Big Bang's faces all over them. If only I stole them..lol jk I really wanted to film some VIP fanclub fansite groups that we often see from the DVDs..so after the FILA booth and because my battery was dying I went off on my own.

btw, I was really amused at seeing this cardboard display.. I noticed there were 6 bodies and one was missing a head! YoungBae was missing his head..but then there was already a YoungBae in the display so lol..idk..I guess for the fanboys? xD It's a male body..lol.. I would have taken a picture in that if it was any body else's body but YB's..lol.. I want to be with him not BE him! xD

^yes, I am blocking Jingyo! scandalous~

As I was filming the area, a fan with a red bow on her head came up to me and randomly gave me a Cyon Edge poster of G-Dragon! I greeted her when she came up to me and then she just put it in my hands and I thanked her. When I peeked into the rolled up tube and saw that it was really a poster, I just had to go over and thank them and mingle more because that was ncredibly niceof them. I turned off my camera right away and went to go talk with them. We took pictures!~^^* I turned off the camera and went over to thank all the fans and take pictures with them. The group I went up to had 'big bang IRIS' signs and signs for Seungri, and a lot of them had the red bows. We exchanged emails because one of the pictures was on the other girl's camera. It was funny because all of the girls surrounded me and asked for my name and when I said Jerilyn, they all started cheering my name..lol..like..a mini...celebration..lol I told them I was from America, and they were all very pleasant and cute and surprised and when I wrote down down my email which is: yb-heartsicles@hotmail.com, one of the girls pointed and was like, "Oh! Omo! Youngbae-yah???" and I answered, "Yes! Young Bae! My favorite!" and everyone spazzed, "Ah Young Bae!" And saying things like "she likes Young Bae" in korean to each other with the chowayo, etc. I kind of asked, in Korean if anyone knew how to speak English, and one of the girls with the red bow on her head and glasses was like, "Ah Eengggurishhuu?? Ah, sohree no Engggrurisshu~!" And I was like, "Ah ok.." So then I just told everyone to have fun at the concert and had to leave. I waved goodbye and they were all waving goodbye and saying random engrish things like "Goodbye!~! I love you!!" whilst doing the 'heart signs' with their hands! My gosh, it was so cute, that I returned the heart sign and said "Saranghaeyo VIP!" and they all cheered again and were really excited. XDD It was such a change from yesterday's hot mess in the standing area, meeting these sweet SWEET V.I.P.~ They reminded me of the good side of the fandom and how all fans have the good and the bad and these girls were definitely the nice and friendly ones~ I'll never forget them and their friendly smiles! ..also it helps that they all had little red bows on their heads..lol.^^

lol I love how oblivous I look here.,and not even at the right camera..lol. XD Apparently I didn't get the 'let's hide' memo. This was the picture one of the IRIS girls emailed to me..they blurred out their faces. =/ Note to self: these frames make me look extra goofy..lol I was walking around with them on like it was my birthday..xD

mwuaha this is from my camera~ ;D

In the video montage thingy:
- Me wandering around, just showing how the venue looks like
- You get to see random Big Bang fans
- I have bad camera(wo)man skills
- Found Big Bang maxipads on the ground..lol..wtf O_o
- I randomly get a Cyon Edge GD poster from some V.I.P. (they were a Seungri fanclub!)

^this old yet swagtastic Japanese fan was geared up in that expensive jacket that TOP and GD have and in a hat that GD has also. *O* Every time she passed by I would just be like..WOW! BALLIN'!!!!

And there was another fan with a bowl cut that I didn't catch on video, but she came up to me and gave me a card from their fanclub dedicated to Daesung and she was really spazzy and loud and was like, "This is KANG.DAE.SUNG!" and I was nodding and letting her know I knew who he was..lol. I also said, "Yess! Smile boy~!" (I think I meant to say Smile Angel..lol) And she went all "AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" in a crazed fangirly scream..lol. I crack up when I think about that moment because it caught me off guard and it was really funny. Those Daesung fans were seriously hyped up and were cheering around the area..I could even hear them from afar..lol.

The Rehearsal

After roaming around the venue, we met up with all the JVIP and were organized by our bus #s and followed everyone to the side where we had stood in line for the standing area. Our bus was the last ones to enter the stadium and it was pretty much the same entrance from yesterday except we didn't pass under the stage walkway, instead all the fans were on the outter side of the stage. It was pretty surreal stepping in, because Big Bang were already there rehearsing on the main stage. So yes, my eyes did go O_O. They even had the screens from the left and right sides on so that we could see them on it as well. I wasn't so close to them but I could see them just fine from where I stood on the side.

At first I thought we'd get to watch them go through a full rehearsal but by the time we got in, they were rehearsing "With U/Number 1" so we watched them run through those multiple times. And when I say multiple, I mean, YB and GD had to keep going up the stairs and down those two polls on either sides of the stage several times, probably trying to time each other correctly. I didn't mind at all though, because the green laser lights were cool and I liked the way 'With U' intro sounds in that version. AND, I've said before that 'Number 1' is one of my most favorite Big Bang songs so I was all "HAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY 8D" every time they finally got to the point where YB and GD are done with their short solo dances and then meet up in the middle with the rest of the boys for the song. All of us fans would sing and dance along and be moded when the music stops right in the middle of us singing..lol.

From what I remember, YB was wearing a hat (as usual) and GD was wearing a yellow jacket (which he eventually takes off) and was sucking on a lollipop. I think TOP was wearing a blue jacket.. When I looked to the big screens, I could see that they were all bare-face/no make up on. And it was especially evident with Daesung...>_<" We all aready know that Daesung has skin problems..but wow, really, when I was looking at his face, it was very very acne..ish! @_@" I think they must have the best make-up artists because I didn't think it was that bad... it's okay though he was still a cutie. Especially since during the times where there was no music on and people were talking to each other, he'd make a "tok tok tok" sound into the mic and all the Japanese fans were all "Kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~" LOL. He even did his "brrrppppp" sounds he does when he is warming up his lips/voice!!! I remember always reading and then seeing sometimes that he does do that but hearing it in person, it's me making a big deal out of such a small thing but YES, Daesung REALLY does do a lot of that "brrrrrppppp" raspberry noises during rehearsal. XD

I love the way the fans behaved during the rehearsal, because they only really made noise when the music was on or doing cute moments like that. So it was mostly quiet (I think its cos' everyone wants to hear Big Bang talking lol) and the boys were very serious while rehearsing, and when they listened to staff members directing them and then them inputting something. I noticed that sometimes Seungri would look at his phone and I was wondering if he was texting.

The only other thing we saw them rehearse afterwards was the How Gee/VIP part of the medley. They acknowledged the fans, and Seungri especially did when he would walk over to the side where the fans up front are and wave to them.^^ It was cool getting to see them during their rehearsal, again..it was very surreal to me. I had to sneak in a pinch to my arm, just in case, but it was very real. I love watching Big Bang be all...candid and in their serious biz practicing modes~

During one of the non-music times I noticed a camera man on the walkway stage in front of us, filming the fans so I took out my USA iVIP sign and called out to him "chogiyo!" and pointed to my sign and he turned on his camera and filmed me!!! I'm not sure if he just humored me by pretending to film me or if he filmed me for real, but either way, that was one of the only times I saw a walk-around camera man filming fans and I wanted to try and get in that! You never know~ He was filming the Japanese fans but I wanted to make it known that I came all the way from America! XD Although, part of me is okay if I never see footage of that because I was wearing my friend Tammy's purple no-frame specs and probably looked ridiculous..lol..but whatever!~ XD I tried. =/

The rehearsal wasn't as long as I imagined it would be but it was such a bonus! The fact that I got to see them keep going through Number 1 already made my day. If I was on the computer, I'd be doing the same thing, pause and rewind, pause and rewind..xD restart restart~

Seeing G-Dragon's umma walking

Later we were hearded back outside, where we still had more time to kill before the concert was to start. I think at this time, Susana and I went to go buy some Big Show merch! On this day I think it was mostly the shirts, hoodies and blankets that we bought. When I went to buy them, I once again, freaked out the staff because I was asking for 13s and 14s of EACH (I said this in Korean, but the staff guy repeated to me in English just to make sure I guess..lol). It's funny cos' they give each other those 'looks' you know that..'o..ok'..and send some guy to get a box to put everything inside. I had to make use of the large laundry bag I had and somehow managed to carry that and the big box to at least in front of the barriers of the Goods, booths. While I was standing there, obviously I was getting weird and curious looks from people wondering what I was..doing, and I think some lady thought I was selling stuff cos' she was ll "bbmoya?" and I was like "It's for my friends..." and then scared her off cos' she kinda flinched at my English. I forgot where Susana was..I think she was buying something elsewhere, so I was waiting for her.

When she came back we went to sit near our entrance and I got to get some hot and fresh dokkbokki from one of the food stands! How awesome is that..that they have dokkbokki as a freaking concert snack!? lol... So Susana watched after our stuff when I went and then she needed to go to the restroom so I sat there with my stuff, enjoying my dokkbokki and of course, it tastes so much better in Korea! Man, I'm jealous..lol.

So while I'm sitting there, being the people watcher that I am, I just sat and ate and looked around at everyone and the people walking past me. I really wanted to see those fans in funky costumes to be honest..lol. I didn't think much of anyone until I saw these two ahjummas walking slowly and I especially noticed the one nearest to my side. I was looking at her face just for a moment until I started wondering why she looked so familiar to me. I mean obviously I don't personally know any old ladies in Korea so it was really odd that I felt she stood out to all the other ahjummas I had seen on my stay. And then it hit me as I was about to stick another dokkbokki into my mouth and stopped midway, holding that toothpick. O_O It was G-Dragon's mom! Kwon Ji-friggin-yong's mother right in front of me! Don't ask me HOW I know what she looks like, because I'll sound like a stalker..lol..but I KNOW what she looks like from a lot of pictures and not to mention GD looks so much like his mother so it only took me quickly thinking about a Big Bang member to match up the facial features to this woman. I think my mouth just dropped when I realized it was GD's mom, because she looked my way like she knows that I know, who she IS, and I just nodded politely as she and her friend passed by and she did a slight nod back and then looked straight. I continued watching her walk away, and that's when I noticed these other fans sitting a little further away from me looking at GD's mom also and then when she passed by them, one of the girls watched her walk away the way the same way I did in that 'awe'ed expression. Two of the girls looked at each other immediately and started spazzing out and jumping and then I reallyyyy knew that I wasn't the only one who noticed her. When Susana returned, I went over to those fans and asked something like, "Excuse me, but was that G-Dragon's umma that passed by? Was that G-Dragon's mom?" and the 3 girls there all shook their head knowingly and were like, "Yeah!! Jiyong's umma! Jiyong's mom!" @_@" So we were all excited for a bit and then I thanked them and returned to Susana. Now every time I eat dokkbokki, it reminds me of GD's mom. So weird! So random! Gee, the way I reacted though was if I was seeing the friggin Queen of England..lol..that much of a presence. @_@"

The 2nd Day Concert

Anyways, when it was almost time for the concert to start, we went inside and found our seats at section 7, with the Japanese fans. I was really surprised that the seats were so up front to the stage. Like, the first day, that was all on the main standing area, so on this day we were just on that next level up, on the left side of the stage, just a few ascending rows away on that first section I think. It was a fantastic view and I couldn't wait to see Big Bang especially at the front of the extended stage that I knew they would go to.

The concert started exactly the way the first one did and the only difference in this one was that they didn't sing, Remember, Ban jjak Ban jjak, and Foolish Love.. It was nice for once to be sitting down, not having to deal with the crazy fans, but I soon found out that the only setback was not being able to stand up when I wanted to unless everyone else was standing up. But seriously, if it wasn't a requirement to sit down with everyone, I'd be standing up THE WHOLE TIME! T_T Because it was my first time in the sitting section, I was tapped on the shoulder a few times to sit down when I'd jump up excitedly during a performance or when Big Bang were on the extended stage right in front of us. I could see how it would be annoying to other people (and it doesn't help that I'm tall as hell) but I tell ya' I could not control the jumping ups..lol.. ugh, especially during 'Lady'...oh how I wanted to be that lucky fan to be picked to go on stage with Big Bang!!!

So in this Lady performance, again, Big Bang go around with that camera and I'm all jumpy and shit, and it killed me that they ended up stopping on the left side but down to where the standing area fans were at. This one was funny because GD would be pointing to the lucky fan in the middle of the other fans and you could tell the other fans were trying to take her place when GD would disagree playfully and shake his head and waving his hand like telling them to part to each side. That "no no not you, not you" way. XD So cute. Again they did the whole dancing around her thing and Daesung puts his arms around her..@_@" The girl ended up picking TOP, obviously, because she goes and directly hugs him! XD Her present is a big red scarf that he wraps around her neck awkwardly and that scarf is hella long so he made it go around a lot so that her head is like..buried in there almost..lol. He then walks her back to her section carefully~

During GD's solo, yes I did jump up AGAIN like an idiot. Dude, we walks and runs around the whole extended stage, you would too if he stops briefly right in front of your section and sings! @_@" Again, I must say, our seats were quite good, and getting this perspective of the concert was wonderful because you see their whole human sized bodies..lol.. I think, with me, the feeling of these seats compared to the standing area is like, even though the standing area you get to see them up close as they walk by, you're being crushed by other people behind you as it happens and you have to look up all the time but when sitting section, it was perfect because you look straight and see them in full form and for longer because they interact with the sitting sections near the extended stage a lot more. Plus, it feels like, when you're standing from your seat, you could almost jump right at them if you were that insane..LOL. You're view of them is just..so much clearer and better~ Because it was my first time sitting in that section, it was kind of more overwhelming when you see how close they are to your section.

During 'Always' since we were on the side closest to where TOP stands, he was the one who flew directly over us during that song! It was crazy! In the standing area, no one really flew over us..lol..but on this day, we got to experience that^^ He was all smiles and waved at everyone below him~ At one point, when they get back down on the stage and they are all standing in the front part of the extended stage, TOP is literally like RIGHT THERE in front of us, and I was REALLY excited because he was there for awhile and I couldn't help but jump up with my 'USA iVIP' sign and yell out "TOP! TOP!" so many times (embarrassingly so..>_>) and I SWEAR to bob, at one point of my jumping and shouting frenzy, TOP looks my way, like right at me and does that smirk/laugh as he turns his head away! @_@" Yes, yes, I know that at concerts, sometimes it MAY seem like artists are looking at you but they could be looking at anyone but..I feel like, and really like to think that maybe JUST MAYBE, for a moment, that he saw me, with my sign and how I jumped up and shouted and plopped down on my seat, embarassed. Especially, because (like I told you) everyone would be sitting down, like everyone! So those times when I jumped up and especially that last time with TOP looking at our direction for the longest time, I really think that it's not impossible for him to notice the girl who jumped up suddenly calling out his name and standing for a bit before sitting back down. >_<" Aaahh, we'll never really know but from the way he smirked and laughed that time (at me?!), it seemed like a plausible reaction to my dumbass self..! LOL! Even Susana turned to me and thought he had seen my USA sign! So..phew... that was crazy. @_@

Ohh, during Stylish, once again TOP was in front of our side and at the part where it goes "everybody to the left, everybody to the right just jump jump jump" he motions for everyone to get up and then I got up..lol. See, it was these times were I was kinda bummed out that people sat down most of the time so when TOP had to tell people to get up, it's like I didn't want him to think no one was into the concert, cos' I'm sure everyone was, but I wished they coulda showed it by being more more hyped up from the get-go so that poor TOP wouldn't have to tell people... =/

It was the same performances but stuff that stood out I guess, other than the special inbetween clips coming on at different parts of the concert:
Make Love - Once again, since we were on 'TOP's side', he came out from the left upper extended stage and catered to the fans over there~
A Fool's Only Tear - This is the first time I noticed that TOP seriously looked like he was about to fall when he came down..@_@" His foot slipped off and I gasped.
OAO - lol The first time I saw Daesung struggling with his bike and moving slowly. He almost falls off of that himself and eventually gives up and drops his bike down and walks the rest of the way to meet the others on the main stage. xD
Lies - GD's so lanky..lol..when he was on the right upper extended stage he was walking tiredly down the ramp. I mentioned this in another post but I think it was during this song (I think..O_o) that I was watching GD go up to the higher extended side stage on the left and just squats down at his fans in an admiring way for a LONG TIME. He was just there, learning on the palm of his hand and staring at them. He even extends his mic out close to them for the fans to sing along. I was gushing at the sight of that. GD is too cute for his own good. You know that expression 'lady killer'? Well GD is like a fan killer. I'm sure those fans were having heart attacks in front of GD. He was there for awhile, looking straight at them, those who were on that 2nd level. lucky lucky~

In my notes, I wrote these things in an odd part of my notes cos' it was between the 1/31 show or the 2/1 but maybe it was this one..1/31..but at the end of one of the songs, most likely Sunset Glow, TOP hugs Daesung while on their way back to the main stage.^^ And at the end end end as the curtains finally go down, TOP yells out in his mic, "SARANGHAEYO~!" ^^ <3 Actually, maybe that is on 2/1 cos when I'm picturing this I'm sitting on the other side..lol! xD Oh well.

Besides the whole sitting down thing, this concert was just as much fun as the first one, if not more!^^ Well, maybe more..lol..I had more jump-around space going on this time around, and plenty of memorable TOP moments!

From there, we got on the bus with our tour group and headed back to the hotel and KTFO. DX

"Rap like an animal, but I'm a mammal!"

^ I was watching Ferngully earlier, and that line just reminded me of TOP. IDEK. XD @ 0:20 seconds rofl. He was the first thing that came to mind!

Youtube. I don't take youtube seriously most of the time..and by that I mean I hardly ever comment on other people's videos and almost never answer messages in my inbox because usually I just delete it, thinking its spam. I just don't. (Unless I REALLY feel I have to..lol) I don't use it as a social networking thingamabob, like I think it's becoming..O_o I just upload, and watch stuff~ :3 It's like..a TV. lol ..where I can upload..stuff.. D8

But...yesterday, I look at my youtube account inbox and ...I...just... don't know. D8 But apparently someone has mistaken me for being Se7en? LOL How they came to this conclusion..I have no idea. D8 I do not claim to be Se7en anywhere and I have like ...only one video of Se7en uploaded on my account but it's with GDYB. Maybe they think I am Se7en who ~ monitors ~ Big Bang..lol Mystery of the internet! Well, if I was Se7en, I must really obsessed with myself. rofl. - is amused -

hi~
안녕하세요 ! SE7EN??! REALLY? hahahh =D
i just wanted to say that you're one of my favorite singers out there! only YG took my heart =D
i hope ur safe!
I LOVE UR SONG OH NO=D

GO YG FAMILY! =D

if you want, please accept my friend request. thanks.

God Bless, !!!
a*****a =D<

It's cute! But sadly, I am not Se7en in any way, shape, or form. ;o; lol

...I'll go sleep now. It's 6 am. I do not know the whole song but I am using "gara gara go!" as a way to say "gotta gotta go!" so....GARA GARA GO!!

*** Lisa says it means "Rattle Rattle GO!!" in Japanese and Ara thinks it means "Leave Leave GO!!" in Korean. D: In any case, you can 'rattle, leave, and then go'. :3

I can't get my Korea pics from my laptop until my new ac adapter comes in (hopefully soon! ;o;), so I'm fast-forwarding to after the 3pm show but before the 7pm show, our 'intermission' for those who were waiting for the last show to start - cos' I have pictures for that! I might as well have made this account on it's own since when I write..it gets to be too much in one entry. @_@"

Sunday, February 1st 2009 - between 3-7pm

After the 3rd concert in the afternoon, we went back to the outside area of the venue to get more freebies and concert goodies. Later later. I needed to go to the restroom, which was a far walk away. It's funny cos' the line to the womens' restroom was so long that the girls formed another line at the mens' restroom. LOL. I saw little boys playing around the area and they were going to go to the mens' restroom but when they saw all the women lining up in that line too, they stopped running and looked SO confused! LOL. It was funny - the look on their faces was so priceless! But, I did feel bad because they were kids and were holding in their bladder by doing the pee-pee dance...=/ In line I changed to my black BB shirt that I had brought with me from home. It was, in my own way, my own little symbolism thing of when Big Bang wore the shirts for the last performance of The Real, their first concert in Korea. And then this was my last day of the Big Show concerts, the first Big Bang concerts that I attended in Korea~ Though I was in line by myself, it wasn't bad because I was just observing all the people around. All the haircuts and then some other foreign fans lining up a little more behind me. The guys that were with them thought it was amazing how there were so many people there too and how both restrooms were being taken over by the women..haha.

When I returned from the restroom, I went over to the Cyon Edge booth where Susana and Asuka (the Japanese VIP I made friends with and hung out with the day before) were waiting for me. They already got their free Cyon posters so I went in line to get one for myself. (Though the previous day, I got a free GD one from some Korean fans~ I wanted try to get a YB one too!) The booth ended up closing on me. -_-" But at least Susana and Asuka got me a corndog like the ones they were eating earlier. yay 8D

Susana went to use the restroom next and it was just me and Asuka hanging out together. I was still hungry so I decided to go with Asuka to get a churro I was eyeing for awhile. I couldn't help it, when I ordered one I did in the same accent the other people were saying before me. XD Asuka asked, "Is sweet?" And I told her it was so she got herself one too.

It was getting darker and people were going into the concert venue already, but since our tickets were seated, it didn't matter if we got in this early so we decided just to wait outside until the line got shorter. (It was a LONG line that went out into the grassy park area)

So we're just chillin', eating our big sugary churros while waiting at the side, and that's when I slowly started to notice someone at the corner of my eye. He was just at the side of the entrance, facing the window parts of the building with his group of friends. He was dressed TOO nice NOT to notice, imo. He was wearing a red leather jacket, hoody, hat on top, dark shades, a spikey ...fanny..pack behind him and reaaaally nice shoes. He was lean and tall, and just...really seemed like he was SOMEBODY. If it's possible, I could have sworn he just had that...awesome...aura...haha. Asuka and I were wondering who he could have been, as she started noticing him also.

Because of all the previous news of how there were other stars coming to watch Big Bang in concert, naturally I started to suspect that it was just some other star. But who?! Don't ask why but I thought maybe he was Chunhee from FO. LOL. But nah, Chunhee doesn't dress like that. XD

The guy looked to be in a great mood - laughing, talking, and hugging his friends.

Can you imagine me just holding a giant laundry bag (of BB bio books, etc. so heavy!) and eating a churro with the other hand, trying to figure out who this guy was? rofl. I wasn't even tryna hide it either, because, heck, we were just waiting to get inside anyways, nothin' else to look at. We eventually moved closer to him..I just wanted to get a look at his face! And then when he turned around to talk to his friend, I saw a GLIMPSE of his MOUTH and holy shit, I KNEW WHO IT WAS - my eyes went O_O, my heart dropped and my jaw dropped and I bet I dropped my laundry bag, because in my head I was just like "TEDDY?!?!" And that wasn't even me guessing it was him, it was more like wtf is he doing here?! Out here?! And then, nearby I saw only 3 other girls looking at Teddy also. Everyone else around were too busy trying to get inside the concert venue to even notice him there. Well, who would expect TEDDY to just be STANDING there in the OPEN?!

I tried to ask Asuka to take a picture of me and Teddy if we got the chance. I was whispering to her but since we can only semi-communicate because she is Japanese and can only speak/understand maybe 5-10% of English, she just tried to take a picture of him. lol it's okay..xD

So we were just standing around, not knowing what to do - but just eating our churros (it was really big okay..lol..neverending churro) and looking at him, and then he and his group started walking away!! D:

Even though I knew it was Teddy, I always feel like..asking someone else to confirm if what I saw was real so I went up to the other 3 Korean girls who were looking at Teddy and was like, "Was that Teddy?? That was Teddy right??" and they were as excited as me and were like, "Yes!! Teddy!" And I'm like "Oh shiet!!" I dunno what to do, so I'm like...come on Asuka! Let's go follow him! lol IDK. I was really like, IDK IDK but maybe if we can think about what I/we wanted to do while we followed him!!! XD Asuka wasn't as big a fan of me, but she knew who Teddy was so she went along with me, carrying her own big bags of BB goods. It felt like one of those GO NOW CUZ YOU'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN moments. XD

So Asuka and I haul ass with our big bags and churros in our hands as we tried to run/power walk to catch up to Teddy. They were walking along the side of the building. I know, we must have looked weird trying to follow them. I kept thinking should I ask for a picture or a handshake?! picture? handshake?! but then I figured, a picture is more iffy so a handshake is more than good enough~ >_<"

When they were about to enter a restricted, closed off area, near the back, I thought my chance was about to be gone so I called out with the first thing that came to mind:

"EXCUSE ME!!" I said this urgently, imagine the same way you call out to someone when they dropped something and you're about to tell them and it's about that same tone..lmao. I wasn't yelling though, cuz of course I didn't want to cause too much attention to him, in case he was trying to lay low or something.

And then, wow, I am a dork but I was like, "Can I PLEASE shake your hand?!?!" The PLEASE was like so emphasized...LOL..even I can't believe I sounded so...as if it was my last dying wish or something..@_@

After I said that, holy macaroni, he turned around with this AMAZING SMILE on his face and his SHADES WERE OFF! And I could see his face so clearly, and he seemed like in such a good mood! It was as if he just KNEW that I KNEW who he was! A kind of 'ah, you're good for guessing/noticing who I am' xD I can't explain it, but I was just more than happy that he turned around and looked like he didn't mind at all that I was calling out to him. lol..maybe he was surprised too that I was speaking in English..in Korea..haha.

Since I was still holding that frickin' churro in my left hand, I drop my laundry bag and reach out with my right hand. (Actually I think my hand was already reached out when I asked for the handshake in the first place..lolol idk). But then, he offers his left hand for me to take. Which, doesn't make sense cos' if you're picturing this, we're parallel to each other, facing each other, so I don't think I properly shook his hand, instead it was like - my right hand, taking his left hand, one shake/movement and then it was just me holding his hand for a good lasting moment, while I'm just in complete awe that he even let me hold his hand at all, and I'm staring right at his face - and he's still smiling! lol I really think I just froze, so I was holding it more than you should when you shake hands with someone..xD That's why when I told my friends about this, I say I held hands with Teddy because that's what it looked/felt like, being that close to him. X_X

Teddy then slowly let's my hand go and some dude (I guess body guard?) looked like as if he was going to block me from following Teddy but hardly, because I wasn't even following him. And then I was in complete shock, but I did manage to say to Teddy as he walked away, "Thank you!! I'm a big fan!!"

I know, cheesy, but it's TRUE. 1TYM was the first Korean group I ever found out about/loved/admired/completely obsessed over when I first found out about Kpop. And I STILL LOVE them like crazy to this day and will wait for them forever! So seeing him right there, was a BIG DEAL to me. I couldn't believe that I just met, and held hands with freaking Teddy of 1TYM!!! He is legend to me. Right after Teddy and his group walked away, an ahjumma nearby came up and I guess saw the whole thing and asked me who that was and I was like, "Teddy!" "1TYM Leadah~" (lol I really did pronounce 'leader' like 'lea-dah') and said "YG Family/peh-meh-lee/enta-tain-ment-tu" XDD And she was like "Ahh, YG family..."

Wow, my heart was beating SO incredibly fast and I was SO happy, and I was jumping around with Asuka like, "OMG you're my witness!!" (and then I had to like..explain what I meant because she didn't understand what I was saying only that I was freaking happy to see that guy she took a picture of..lol) I think in the midst of my excitement I looked down at myself and I was like, Oh crap...=_= because I was wearing that black BB shirt, in super BB fan gear..LOL. And then I was like...carrying a super large laundry bag filled with BB stuff and I was....still holding that churro! @_@"" lolol..a little embarrassed, but what the hell..of course I did NOT expect to meet Teddy or any 1TYM member at a friggin' Big Bang concert, in muthafuggin' Korea! @_@"

So this was RIGHT before the last Big Show concert, and it made me even more pumped up for the last show - adrenaline was going and everything. I was already smiling from just having been in Korea but my smile just turned up another notch..if that's possible. idk I don't like smiling too much..lol..it hurts..but this was all like..automatic. o-o When we got to our seats, we told Susana what had happened outside and then from my seat.

Later, I saw Teddy standing and sitting at the center where the sound system or whatever controls/technical stuff was at. Believe me, it was REALLY distracting, especially when Big Bang was performing, but I wanted to see Teddy from time to time and see his reaction and stuff - and sure thing he was there enjoying the concert and smiling.^^ He was with Yangssa (YG) also. His arms were crossed and yeaaah, wow..never thought I'd get to see Teddy watching Big Bang..lol. Even Sean and the kids went over there later! Anddd then, after the concert, I saw Teddy briefly at the staff entrance in the back where they had entered earlier and was one of the few that recognized him. idk if he was smoking or not though..lol..maybe..cos' he was outside laggin around but prolly saw all those fans watching him and just went back inside.

So yup! Teddy at the Big Show! Now officially the first gasoo I 'met' in their motherland of Korea..lol. It brought me back to the 10th YG Anni concert where he was the first gasoo/star to have eye contact with ever in America when he was sitting in the front of his van. Ah, Teddy, ilu<3

Btw, Danny is actually my most favorite in 1TYM but I wouldn't dare to meet him cuz I might have been even more embarassing and yelled like a friggin' dying banshee or something and scare him away. XD I'm glad it was Teddy! I was able to contain all that excitement..and say actual words! Even though I was lame..lol...and I'm surprised I was polite with that whole 'EXCUSE ME' and 'PLEASE' xDDD

Ah, I feel like..y'know in the cartoon Pokemon, whenever Ash sees that RARE Pokemon..lol...it felt like that..except more..awesome...*falls out of chair*

TEDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! The LEADER of 1TYM! What are the odds?!

^That one dude must have been the one trying to block me, but I didn't notice him, cuz I was staring at Teddy's face the whole time..haha. This was when they were just standing near the entrance.. Those shades are really dark huh??? They were like..super...across his face..futuristic lookin'

^When we were following them..haha..see Teddy with his arms over both of his friends~ Asuka took these pics..

The Big Show 02: "I love you MORE MORE!"

1ST CONCERT DAY

I got day one done! Finally! It's pretty lengthy and yet I'm not satisfied with how I wrote this at all. I don't feel like editing it, at least not right now. Maybe later. (because someone I know wants to read it but she can't access LJ, but if she reads it, I'll prolly tone it down a bit..lol) It is what it is. *shrug* So my apologizes in advance for all the filler cussing. Especially when I'm all "V.I.P are bitches! etc." YEAH, I SAID IT. lol. You'll just have to read to see what I mean by that. But no worries, I just encountered the ugly side of the fandom. The next days though, I got to meet more of the nicer, sweeter Big Bang fans that helped to restore my faith in V.I.P..lol. XD<3 I'll always have mad love for V.I.Ps for being so passionate about Big Bang. But then there are the few out there who ruin the fun, and who I'd like to show some tough love towards by punching them in the faces! 8D (or as JK & Juju would say, "rub a brick in their fezzes") This is the raw, un-cut account of my experience at the first Big Show concert! Read in moderation! lol

If you do attempt to read this, I'd make use of the Ctrl F feature to just get to whatever you think you'd want to read about..lol.

So it took about 5-6 hours on a plane ride from SF to NYC - then 12-14 hours to Tokyo, Japan - catching the JRs on the last day, running long-distance through the streets of Tokyo with my luggage - barely making it to the bus station where we had to take an 8 hour bus ride to Osaka - and then about a 30 min plane ride from Osaka Kansai Intl. Airport to Incheon Airport in SEOUL, friggin KOREA!

PHEW!

That’s just to give you a rough idea of the kind of traveling that I had to do to get to where I was about to be. I spent a few days in Japan before and after Korea, but the focus of these next few entries will, of course, be my first day in Korea, at the first Big Show concert.

January 30th 2009

We arrived at Kansai Intl. Airport and it still hadn't hit me yet, of how real this all was. I knew I was going to Korea, I knew I was going to see Big Bang in a big concert, but I still couldn’t believe it. Between you, me and whoever reading this, I honestly snuck in a few pinches to my arm when no one was looking to see if I was dreaming or not. I wasn't dreaming, rather I was living one of my most wildest dreams that I never thought possible. When we arrived at the desk area for the tour group, my heart jumped at seeing this sign,

I was nervous about going through security and customs, only because it’d be my first time flying on another airlines in another country. But, thankfully everything went smoothly and we got to the gate. Having a U.S. passport makes everything so much easier! I think susifg

Susana had more trouble through customs than me. lol While sitting and waiting to board the plane, I felt the excitement building up as I glanced at my surroundings and spotted the other Japanese Big Bang fans sitting - most likely from my tour group. You could tell from their Stand Up tour key chains and bags..haha.

When we got into the plane, we flew on Asiana Airlines….and all the flight attendants were SO pretty! Each of them looked like they could be in a CF. *O*

When we arrived in Korea, we rushed to go get our luggage. We had gotten tickets to the first concert separately, so it was not included in the tour, and it meant that we had to find our own way to the Olympic Park Stadium. Of course our luggage had to be the last ones off the carousel. -_-” We stood with the group a little as Susana listened for anything important they might be saying. It was cute because the tour guide girl held a stick with a lil' plushy animal on top for the fans to follow and she reminded me of Mao from HYD. After exchanging our money (btw from yen to won, it made it look like I was BALLIN' with all that paper..lol), we left our luggage with the tour group to take back to the hotel where they were heading and then went out in front to see where the buses were and bought tickets to Olympic Park. While waiting in line I noticed 2 Japanese girls with BB bags..haha..cool..if I could speak Japanese I would have spazzed to them.

When we arrived, we got off at Olympic Park, but as we looked into the building, we realized we were at the hotel part of the whole Olympic Park area. We got help from the front desk and they showed us a map of the area and how we’d have to go all the way around and probably catch a taxi because it was so far. Instead, we went on foot and cut through the WHOLE park. Omg seriously, it was cold and I felt like I was hiking with all the steep hills. It was like trekking through a freaking forest! lol I felt kind of weak as I looked to my side and saw an ahjumma going uphill so easily while I was having such a hard time and becoming so winded already..LOL. As we got closer, we started to hear music coming from the distance. That was just the motivation we needed to continue upwards.

When we finally made it up, we found a sea of fans just sitting down on the field and just waiting even though it was about 3 hours until the concert would start. We went directly to the LOOK KOREA booth to get our tickets and then headed to the orange structure where annebloom188 Anne said she’d meet us at. It wasn't long before I saw cute lil' Anne walking towards us with her animal ears on~ She's so short and cute, but then again I'm really tall..lol..so she's short by default and cute because she just is!^^

We went directly to the E2 entrance of the stadium to get in line. Anne's friends were nice enough to hold our place in line, even though it was cold and they weren't even going to the concert! At some point I wanted a picture with Susana and Anne in line and Anne asked the girls behind us in Korean. But, they kind of...misunderstood and got in the picture with us..LOL..so Anne had to take the first picture but..lol..okay..we went with it.

After that one, the other Korean fan finally took our picture...but..with the...other girl standing next to us still..lol. When it got closer to the starting time, we started to see fans shuffling in and out of the line. Someone tried to tell us that on our tickets was the numbers which told us where to stand in line so we kept moving up according to our ticket. As we got further up, we realized that WE were at the front of the line! Specifically #s 201-up...and I was #201! XD We took pictures near the sign and I'm sure the fans around us thought we were weird.

At the entrance where we were waiting to go through was where all the standing area people from the left side were going to go through and where the families of Big Bang entered because I saw Young Bae's mom and brother go through there...@_@" I was pointing them out to Anne and Susana but they wouldn't have recognized them anyways..lol..though I think a few others of the fans in front noticed also. As the security and staff started to herd everyone into that entrance, everyone looked very cautious. When it was our turn to be 'herded' inside, the man in black in front of us would repeat something in Korean and realizing that we were foreigners who didn't understand what he was saying, he just smiled and said, "Follow me." We followed the man downstairs and before entering the way that went into the standing area, we could see the orchestra instruments on the right side and it seemed like the people there were trying to listen to Haru Haru and practicing on their instruments. They stopped us before a corner for a little bit and there was a staff girl in front of me and just because I'm a dork, I was like "Soo~ What does it look like out there?" She smiled to me in a nervous way, probably because of my English and probably because she knew I didn't know what I was in for that night. lol. Right before the standing area entrance, again the feeling was like the staff and security were really tense and when I looked back, I could already see some girls practically ready to run past us. @_@" When they let us in, we had to duck under a part of the side walkway stage to enter into the standing area and I immediately went straight, of course closer to the side of the stage. But by the time we had got in, if you could see it....all the sides of the stages were already clumped with fans, so those were the most concentrated areas. Already people were starting to push and shove and I asked the girl in front of me, jokingly, "Is it always like this?" She smiled to me that same way that other girl smiled...almost like a smile out of pity.

When the lights went down, everyone cheered and an Intro clip played on both sides of the stage. It was the cartoon BANGs video, and from the gist of it, it seemed like Daesung and TOP were on some sort of date? LOL (IDK I saw this like 4 times and yet I didn't even realize the "girl" was Daesung until Susana was talking about it again all the way when we were back in Japan..lol) I should have known because TOP and Daesung would be holding hands swinging each other around and Daesung was like "Naibwa Naibwa Tabi~ Naibwa Naibwa Tabi" with the glittery glistening eyes. The other 3 BANGies would be sitting down watching everything go on while eating popcorn. When Tabi and Ssongee kissed, Jingyo starting getting mad and would be swooshing his crown light stick in an angry way while ToRy starts moving closer with a nose bleed, I think, on some kind of life support system..lol. It was so cute. XD

When that was done, an opera singer appeared while images of Big Bang's faces were shown on the curtains as constellations against a starry/universal background. The pictures were from the Remember album booklet so it looked cool when YB had the upside down triangles..lol..even though I've seen it before, it looked so cool like that...futuristic-like. When the curtains finally open, we saw Big Bang dressed in white atop of a very grand and steep white staircase. They looked absolutely majestic. They walked down slowly as GD and TOP did their rap verses. Their choreography was the version they used for the KBS end of the year show, so instead of chest pumps, TOP did those arm flapping movements he fails at so well..xD<3 There was a lot of grand pyrotechnic type stuff going on. GD had his gold headband, and personally, I really liked that hair phase he was sporting just previously to the concert and was glad that he had it in this whole concert, just because it's one of my fave looks on him.

The next song was Heaven, and screen in the back turned into a heavenly cloud backdrop..I should have known. The Crazy dancers came out in lovely gold dresses and all of them had long hair/extensions. When they did that lil' cutesy dance this time Big Bang went back and forth paired up with a Crazy dancer. It was really cute and the lil' firecrackers would go off~

At the MC part, they talked and Seungri disappeared somewhere so you knew Strong Baby was about to be next. They showed the unedited version of the MV and I think I got so caught up with everyone else screaming at the 'intimate' parts that I went along also..lol. It wasn't even that bad though, just a lot of lip biting from the girl. O_o and I guess a better "ab" shot. XD

It was exciting when Seungri came out because I knew that he would make use of the extended stage. At the part where the music slows down, and Seungri and the girl are on the floor, you could see everyone's head craning to see how close their faces were to each other. No worries, there was no lip action here. He just loosened up the top of his shirt and helped the girl up. The music turned back on and immediately Seungri was walking down that middle section and gyrating and what not in front of the fans. Of course as soon as he moves closer to us, you feel everyone's bodies just gravitating towards him. Even if you didn't care to go closer, it didn't matter because it was like you were a part of this one huge entity and everyone just crushed each other in one direction. It was cool to see Seungri so up close and kinda funny at the same time because of the way he was dancing on top of us and his facial expressions. U-Go-Boy!

At this time I had somehow managed to get a little closer to the side of the middle stage and there was just basically one person blocking me from getting to the railing. I had totally lost Susana and Anne also. (it's okay because outside, we all mutually understood that it was a 'get where you want to be once you get inside' type of deal..lol) The intro to With U came on and the green laser lights reached out over us. GD was dancing on the top right and slid down the pole and YB from the left. When I heard the "Number 1, Number 1, Number 1" the way it sounded in that end of the year MBC show, I totally flipped the phack out and started dancing and singing along like it was just me and Big Bang in that whole building..haha. Keep in mind that I and everyone else around me had like no personal space left at all, and so when I was dancing I was bouncing off anyone around me and bumping into them. Sorry but I didn't give a fuhhh, cos' everyone was pushing each other anyways, but at least this time it was just out of having pure fun in the concert. The way it should be!! How can people not want to dance when that song comes on?!?! I was really into it, and probably one of the few near me that could actually sing the lyrics in ENGLISH so I did notice that I was getting a lot of weird stares by the fans near me and especially from the ones who were protecting their spots at the railings, because they would turn to look at me and snicker. OH WELL, SORRY IF I WANTED TO HAVE FUN AT A BIG BANG CONCERT. Geez, they were looking at me like I was crazy, but I think people were crazy for not dancing with me! ;o;

Gosh, I think after Number 1 was over and then during, Stylish, Remember, Foolish Love, and Ban jjak Ban jjak, was when all the pushing and shoving got really ridiculous. But even from the start of the concert, all the way up to this moment, I was in no way comfortable at all. Like this whole time, it was like being crushed by all sides. Stylish was cool because the guys danced down the middle stage, but I felt like I really didn't want them to see what it was like in the standing area where everyone was so squished. Still...yeah it was pretty neat seeing them walk past us..xD But, it was so horrible in the pit, that this whole part of the concert is such a big blur to me now. Never in my life did I ever experience a situation like this where it felt like I couldn't even breathe sometimes. It was THAT bad. Y'know, I'm pretty tall, so if I was having a hard time, imagine all the skinny and shorter girls around. I saw girls crying, and not even facing the stage where Big Bang were performing, because they were being crushed by everyone around them. I saw some girls even trying to make their way to the back of everyone if they could, not even paying attention to the performance at all. When it was "Remember" I would be singing along the best I could, though I never felt as close to people as I did then because I had no choice so space, so I rested my arms up on strangers, just because there was no room so I couldn't even put them down. Yeah my elbows would be shoved away but then I rested them on the person in front of me. We were so packed together that I didn't even need strength to stand up straight because I could just let my body go limp and it would still be held up by the force of fans around me. It was soooo hot and at some point, all I really wanted was air. I'm sorry Big Bang for being so weak that I couldn't even look up to see you perform! At one point, I just leaned on the person in front of me, with my arms squished up against the person, because I felt like I was about to faint from lack of oxygen. As more pushing went on, finally I felt some air coming from above me, and anchored my legs down and put my head up so I can BREATHE. I had gained enough oxygen to think properly and you know what? I was like FUCK IT, I don't want to be in this area! I was thinking about how much fun it was to be dancing to Number 1 and it dawned on me that I didn't give a fuck how close I could get to the stage anymore and I could enjoy listening and watching Big Bang from any other area as I was thinking I was just lucky enough to even be in this same vicinity as Big Bang. I soon mustered up enough energy to push back people from behind me and tried to angle myself so I can move back. The girl in front of me, who was near the railing on the side, she would be pushing backwards with her body harshly, thinking I was trying to get in front of her. I really wasn't! I saw how much those girls were in pain from protecting their spots at the railing that everyone around us wanted. When people pushed, those girls would be crushed up against the railing and I really felt bad for them. At some point, I saw this one girl on my right looking like she wanted to get to her friend on my left because she was talking to her and her friend calling her over, and so I pushed back and allowed her space to go past me, and even gestured for her to go ahead and it was okay with me. She gave me a strange look, cautious, as if the moment she stepped in front of me, I would stab her in the back. lol. When she realized that I was forreal, she went past me and I continued trying to move backwards.

Maybe that wasn't such a good idea, because after I let that girl go in front of me, the fans around me really started bitching at me more and I think they thought they could take advantage of me when they saw what I had done. Oh man. This one girl I could hear her in the worst 'engrish' was like, "Stop moving back!...Fuck!" ...and then someone starts PINCHING me..so I was like..wtf and looked back at who was doing that and obviously everyone behind me is muggin' me so I couldn't tell who it was. I think it was the girl right behind me though, just because her expression was if she had just stepped on shit. lol. Whatevz, I saw her fezz and just brushed it off, cos' I wouldn't want to add-on to her life's problems. LOL. I know, mean, but real talk - people were being straight up immature BITCHES. Despite that, I was still trying to move backwards, and then of course MORE PUSHING started and then people were getting creative and were trying to trip me by wrapping one of their legs around mine. AND THEN, I felt someone grab me by both shoulders from behind and try to shove me away to the left. I have no idea where people were getting their strength from because I almost did lose my balance since the thing we were standing on was like maybe an inch or two higher from out left side and I almost tripped just because of that. Right after that, someone began HITTING my back, constantly pounding on it like I was a mofuggin' door while I'm just standing there because there was no room for me to go back, front or move anywhere so I don't know what her problem was other than I was probably taller than her and maybe I was blocking her but it's not like I can help it!

Ughhh, I admit, with the conditions surrounding me at that exact moment, I felt like crying. With the heat, and the pushing and people trying to physically hurt me and all, it was all getting to me. There I was amidst all this, my first real Big Bang concert, and people pinching and hitting me. It wasn't suppose to be like this. I just wanted to enjoy the show! And inside, I was so disappointed in seeing V.I.Ps like this. I had always believed, or wanted to believe, that V.I.Ps were different, had manners, and were respectful. How naive right? But, I just didn't want to think that I could actually be catagorized in a fandom with people like this. "Fans" like the ones that try to hurt you just to see their idol, ruin it for everyone. They make real V.I.Ps look bad and they make Big Bang look bad. If I weren't so open minded I would have walked away from this concert, being all like "FUCK ALL VIPs!" But, no, I know better than to generalize like that. All fandoms have a wide spectra of fans. I just got to see the real ugly side of it this first day. Sadness.

At this point, I'm not gonna even lie - my fists were clenching, my blood was boiling, and I had taken my big gold heart earrings off earlier, ready to high five someone's face! >=O Now, I am almost always a laid-back type of person. Anyone who knows me, knows that it takes A LOT to make me mad, or even feel just a little bit bothered but with these bitches who were pinching and hitting me, they should thank their lucky stars that Big Bang were still on stage, blessing us with their presence, because they were giving me permission to KNOCK THEM THE PHUCK OUT! I personally think that the behavior they were exhibiting was even rude towards Big Bang. Big Bang were performing, and they needed to have some respect for them. I was really under the impression that most of the ones around me, just cared about getting closer to the stage rather than actually seeing Big Bang perform. Pushing is inevitable and can't be helped, but pinching and hitting? That's just not cool at all. It hurt, but luckily I have thick skin. -_-

Anyways, I was getting so pissed off and irritated, that I finally whipped around and gave a death glare. LOL. In the most scary-loud voice that could ever come out from me, probably taken from my mother, I yelled, "YO, S T O P P U S H I N G ME!!!!!!!!" and probably cussing under my breath on how I didn't have anymore fucking room for anyone to be pushing me towards so they all just needed to calm the phack down anyway. I was SO ready to stomp on someone's face in that friggin' pit and make use of the fan insurance that was paid prior to the concert! But, to my surprise, there was suddenly a lot more space behind me..haha! It worked! XD And some girl knew english and was like, "I'm being pushed too.." So I was just like "OKAY then whatever" and turned back to look at the stage. Later on, I heard that same voice, giving me advice about how when people push I just need to angle myself and keep moving forward. She said it in a nice, concerned way though, so I listened to her. So thank you to that girl, whoever you are~

YB's solo performance...
I find it hard for me to really explain as to why that performance was so special to me. I was so 'in the moment' and incredibly proud of him, that I will tell you honestly, that I teared up...I cried. I did. -_-" If I could have prevented it, I would have, but it just happened. So... apparently, I discovered that I am THAT kind of fan after all..lol..the one that cries when completely overwhelmed with happiness. Ugh. Well, it also allowed to me let out all the stress I was feeling being in the standing area..ha..so I wouldn't be surprised if that contributed to the malfunction of my tear ducts as well.. But really, it was a performance so good, that it moved me as a fan. The words "to be like Young Bae" ..it's a great compliment now isn't it?^^ He has such a presence when he is on stage. Big Bang are all quality artists in my eyes, my heart, my mind and my ears, but Dong Young Bae - Taeyang, he is so exquisite to me. I was so proud of him. >_< <3

By the time it was TOP's solo performance, and somewhere inbetween the Big Bang Virus parody/Lotte World mission clip, the flow of the fans in the standing pit brought me to the railing right beside the stage! And this was when I had already given up on trying to get there, and somehow I got there without any real effort. Funny how things work out like that huh? TOP's performance got me pumped up, especially at the climax of the song when he went all beastman-like with the fire and everything in the middle. I was in awe with his solo from beginning to end. I love how he does his performances as if he is telling a story, and very into his character. And this version of his solo song, is the 'jjang'est to me.

During the Big Bang Virus, when that came on, I seriously didn't even know what they were parodying. I thought it was something completely random that they came up with..haha. Seungri is not a pretty girl, but he is sure believable as one! ...if that makes any sense. And he got the legs! *whistle* Daesung as an ajhumma..weird..with permed hair. YB singing and Daesung to Daesung's song...I don't even know..lol...so awkward. TOP was the lead character again, and I swear he always plays the same kind of lead character anyways. He's so funny though with his short English lines. GD! He danced to Strong Baby...ahaha... The way he looked when he was about to kiss Seungri was so perverted, he reminded me of IH4U fanfic character..lol. And then the Lotte World clip was SO funny! They had missions to get people to take pictures with them, to feed them without asking, to take a picture on a rollercoaster ride without anyone noticing them. (You know at the end of rides where the camera flashes and takes one to be bought at the end) I bet anyone who saw them with their masks on that day, were officially kicking themselves in the face that night for not realizing it was Big Bang. I crack up all the time at the part where YB is on the kiddy ride..lol. He is so much more silly when he knows he can do anything under the cover of a mask...haha. And GD begging at girls who ignored him and just walking past him, it KILLS YOU, cos you just want to be like (to the girls) OMFG YOU FOOL, IT'S GD!! And Seungri, he is so obvious, chatting up with fanboys to get them to say that Seungri of Big Bang is the coolest one..ahaha and pushing away the one that said GD was cool..lol. I think it was Daesung who scared a girl, trying to get someone to feed him. And TOP, I think TOP was more focused on..eating food. When people started noticing TOP, YB and Daesung's group it was funny, cos they started to walk faster..lol. In the end, they were the losers for getting caught. Team YongRi won~

Oops, well after TOP's performance, the other 4 come back out and I think they were saying how for the next performance they were going to bring up a fan. When 'Lady' came on, ahhhh I KNEW it was going to be CUTE. Later in the performance, GD bent down to put on the backpack and it was not tooooo far away from where I was standing! They went around with it, looking down at the crowd to find their 'Lady', and even came our way with the camera, of course, everyone went batshit crazy! I was so happy to seriously be like..RIGHT THERE near the stage, but hope I didn't look like an idiot..haha. Did I mention I wore the original Big Bang bandana as a top under my jacket?? (yes UNDER my hoody/jacket because I'm not trying to be a hoochie okiez, thinking back, it was a good decision because it was hot in that pit) LOL. I always joked that if I went to a Big Bang concert, I would do it, and I did..lol. I wonder if they saw it and caught it on camera. Probably not, but it's fun to think they did..hahah. The stuff they filmed showed up on the big screens and I loved it whenever they focused on each other cos' they'd be making silly faces. When they picked the girl all the way from the other side, I bet it was a real FML moment to everyone else..hahaha. They brought her up to the middle, and danced around her and when the music stopped, she had to pick one of them.

In the moment, I was yelling out "Young Bae ah! Young Bae ah!" mostly because he was right there, but then I was laughing to myself like, "Oh wait, that's a mistake.." Because I didn't want her to pick him! lol And yet, she does! I was happy though, because he got picked first..haha. He gives her a stuffed panda bear and then walks her back to where she came from, with his arm over her shoulder, walking all smiley and proudly. She was kinda taller than him but oh well. SO CUTE. FML

After they killed me with 'Lady' they did 'Wonderful' which made me forgive them for being so cute to one person..hahaha. XP I lovelovelove that song, so it was fun to see them perform it live. Everything was so colorful.

At the next MC part, when the other guys called GD - DJ G-Dragon I was so confused. I heard him singing 'But I love U' and was excited for it and then, everything just shifted and seeing GD rise up with all that DJ equipment, I was like whoaaaaa, no effing way! lol Surprise Surprise~! I felt like I was dancing in a club when he was playing all his remixes! And then when 'This Love' came on and he was about to come closer, I was fklsjnfjksnfsjkn-ing (lolol) because I thought he was going to pick a girl from the crowd again like in Global Warning (he didn't). But since I was at the railing now, whenever he passed by, I think one of the first things that my eyes went towards was his LV shoes! haha! I will never get over seeing Big Bang so life sized..it's always like I'm so ...amazed or something that they are actually bigger than how they are in my laptop. LOL. GD and his headband, his hair and his sweatyness. Gah. <3

When I saw Seungri, Daesung, and YB with their instruments for 'A Fool With Tears' I was so impressed. They always find cool ways to change up the arrangement of this classic Big Bang song. I sang along, grateful for things being so chill at the time. Also, 'A Good Man' came on afterwards, and they just sat up at the main stage so I had to lean forward more to see them from where I was standing. Of course, people were still pushing and stuff from behind, but it wasn't that bad for me, as my stomach is like a cushion..lmao. For 'Oh Ma Baby' they mostly performed this one at the middle intersection. I'm always happy when they do this song, because it's one of those really good and rare ones they perform. 'Always' was such a fan performance. I was more jealous of the people sitting down because the lifters Big Bang were on, only took them up up up. YB was floating somewhere above us, but not too close. During 'Make Love' I was enjoying the choreography for that. What I think is interesting is that everyone always thinks that standing area is the best spot to be at because you're so close, but really it's only enjoyable when you are at the railing, and moreso when Big Bang do things like walk by and you try to reach up, hoping they touch your hand, and you fail (like me)..lol. Especially for the section I was in, I feel like Big Bang don't really go down the extended stage as much people think they would, mostly I saw them towards the side areas. Also, unless you are really tall, you only get that leveled view. I was surprised at how high up the stage is compared to where we were standing. Must be for the safety of the boys, no doubt! At one point, a fan near me thought she was slick and placed her tea bottle on the stage and it rolled towards the middle, and I think she was hoping Big Bang would give it back to her, but it just kind of stayed up there. lol.

Daesung's 'Daebak' was a fun performance. On this day, he didn't have the fake thumb and when he did 'fall down', I thought it was accident until I saw the other 3 shows and he did the same thing..haha.

There was another MC part, and sadly, I'm not sure what they were talking about, probably about it being the first and last full concert of the year, but GD looked like he was about to CRY and everyone was chanting for him not to..he had the glistening, watery eyes. ;0;

At OAO, they rode around on mini bikes, and me being as paranoid as I am, just hoped they didn't drive those things into the crowd by accident..lol. The Big Bang members zoomed on by and GD was so carefree on that thing. The red light stick dance was pretty cool...different I guess.

For the Lalala/BIGBANG/How Gee/Shake it Medley they were so far away, mostly at the main stage or along the sides so I mostly just moved to the music and sang a lot, while looking at the middle or at the screen. I couldn't move to turn around and see, otherwise I'd face the rath of the fangirls behind me..lol. Oh! Remember that girl I helped get in front of me earlier? It turns out that she was right next to me! So she was singing along too.^^ I eventually had taken out my other bandana and used it as replacement for a lighy stick.

They then did 'Last Farewell' and 'Sunset Glow' and my stomach was sinking because I didn't want it to be the end already! When they left the stage, I knew an Encore had to happen, so I went along with everyone else and chanted with them. I wanted to see 'encore' correctly, but everyone else was like 'aengcore' so I did it that way instead. XD With the words on the big screens, teasing us, the curtains opened again, but it was like people banging on...drums..O_o...and then BANG! Big Bang come out with 'Oh My Friend' and everyone is jumping up and down. People were too close behind me, so lol..all up on my backside..it was really awkward/weird. =_=" Seeing all the dancers being all smiley-faced was cool. Sungmin/Jsmining! <3

When 'Lie' came on, I was flailing! lol The streamers and confetti falling and everything. It always makes for an epic ending! And then came the one moment that made all the shit that was happening in the standing area so worth it! Okay so, Big Bang had went to the sides first and reunited back to the middle extended stage to dance to the chorus again, so they were right freaking above us for much longer. GD, dancer, and TOP the closest to my view and TOP freaking bent down closer and was like "I LOVE YOU MORE MORE!" in my friggin face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @_@" Gesture and everything and then an exaggerated 'air pumping' move at "tteo na bo naess ji man"!!! And you know how whenever TOP is playful he makes those exaggerated faces like..I'm sure you can imagine it..but the big eyed, open mouth thing he'll do sometimes. >_<" Yes, it was as simple as that. Having TOP or any Big Bang member right in front of me saying, "I love you MORE MORE!" was ENOUGH. Everything else, did not even matter after that..XD No! I love YOU more more! *o* Gah, I die a thousand deaths thinking of that one moment. I smile like an idiot too.^^" It's forever etched into my memories~

Despite my rant above about immature fans, I can say that the concert was amazing..LOL. Twisted right? Well, like minus the rude fans, everything else going on stage and the fluttering going on in my heart seeing them, was all good! ;D

When the concert was over, I regrouped with Anne and we just waited a bit in the area. As everyone was moving out, the leftovers in the standing area was interesting to say the least. I mean, I knew it was hardcore up in there but some of that stuff made you wonder what the hell was going on besides the concert..O_o lol Someone lost their SOLE, yes, the SOLE OF THEIR SHOE. D: And another person lost their BRA STRAP. wtf? I wish I took a picture. But the weirdest find was this Young Bae sign on the floor. We picked up and tried to read it and freaked out and almost dropped it when we realized it read, "Young Bae Stalker" ..ROFL. It was so creepy..lol. BUT I KEPT IT! XD Later I would revamp it. I took out the 'stalker' part so it was just 'YoungBae' and then I redrew the eyes so that it was moon-like and not red and beady like the person made it..@_@" Anne also told me how she got pulled to the side of the standing area and the security guard made her delete her pictures. =/ BUT, she said it was a blessing in disguise because she was pulled to a good spot where Big Bang went by a lot.^^

Outside, we walked with Susana, heading towards the subway/trains to go back to the hotel. Susana had a totally different experience than us. Apparantly, she almost did faint in the pit and had to be taken out to the ambulance! @_@" When she wanted to go back in, the doctor lady took her through the staff entrance and they both watched the ending of the concert from the side of the stage! D: Also, it's funny because she said the doctor was a big fan of TOP so when Big Bang went off stage at the very end, the doctor lady was practically fangirling and called out to TOP and waved so he bowed in their direction...rofl, not to mention, all of Big Bang walked right passed Susana too! @_@" When she told us this, I SCREAMED. lol. I think louder and spazzier than I did in the actual concert..lol.

At the subway, it was COMPLETELY filled with Big Bang fans. lol. I've never seen so many fans in like, a random setting such as a subway. Everyone was all geared up in their 'fan gear' lining up for tickets or sitting down waiting for a train that took forever to get there. I should have taken a picture! I even saw some Thai fans there as well.

Random, but in the actual train I saw Kara fanboys. It was pretty obvious because one of them was looking at himself in the reflection of the window and dancing to 'Pretty Girl' lol

When we got out of the train, it was a long walk to the hotel. At the hotel there were complications. Eek. To make a long story short (since the above is hella long already), they couldn't find our luggage/hotel key, they ended up giving us the wrong room, we had to wait for a long time again because they couldn't get a hold of the tour guide people, but eventually they found our room key in a friggin envelope on the desk. -_-''

^When we thought this was our room...lol

^Now it's our room!

^Taken from Anne's digicam. We live on the opposite sides of the world, and yet we have the same shoes~!
Anne crashed at our hotel room and we KTFO-ed.

And that was just the first day. @_@"

^The "Young Bae Stalker" sign..lol..

----

I still can't believe I met annebloom188 !!! I never thought it'd be so soon! I'll have more pleasant things to say about her later, but for now, I miss her a lot!!! ToT <3

ps: My friend Jeongeun had warned me about the standing pit, way before I even left to Korea, about hair pulling, and foot stomping, etc. But wow, Korean fans can be vicious, especially in numbers! lol I underestimated them... Would I do it again? Standing pit? Sure, why not. They don't scare me!! *puffs up chest* It's just next time I'll be more prepared! I'll tie my hair up, wear cleats, brass knuckles and a spikey jacket...probably bring a taser or some pepper spray. Most likely pepper spray because tasers are kind of intense. XD I'm just kidding guys!

..or am I??

So Fresh So Cool!

YB - I iz diggin' his shades. His "So fresh so cool" acappella makes me wanna drink Hite beer again. lol. Not that I did before, but the urge to want to try it comes up again..lol I like his energy on stage, but then again, when do I not? YB<3333
TOP - his voice is so beast man here..it's like it turned up a notch..lol...makes me want to crouch down in fear..T_T I mean, he's hot here for sure, but his thundering voice scares me sometimes...;-; jk. but damn that voice is unique huh. lol. I think TOP has too much fun saying "HITE HITE"...xD
GD - almost got hit by firecracker thingy..HAHA..JK..that's not funny..it was like TWICE. 04:34 & 18:37 min lol. I was like WTF? Does I needa smack a pyrotechnic? I gotchu Kwon Leadah! & his mic was being crappy and had to ask for a new one 20:24...not his day...

The Big Show 01: "My notes"

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 09:46:12 GMT

GENERAL PERFORMANCE NOTES
This is just me describing the performances of each song as a whole, and what I thought about it. I'm not really referring to a specific day here unless I say I am. I thought this would be better when I was thinking about how I'm going to talk about all this so I don't have to repeat what I saw for each concert. So, for those other separate concert entries I'll make after this, I'm just focusing about what I felt and saw in detail for those specific concert times and what I was doing at the time without having to describe what each performance looked like, like I do in here.

Actually I wish I was more articulate, because I think I was attempting to give a good review of the performances but there's only so many times you can say something was awesome...and then I just end up like..spazz typing..and then writing ugly and whatevz..and not knowing how to describe stuff anymore. Oh wells, I tried. It felt good to just get my thoughts out there though, no matter how discombobulated they are...

All my Big Show memory entries will be under a cut, so if it seems like I'm sucking out the life of this with every post and seem repetitive to anyone then you can already tell by my by subject titles whether to avoid these or not. Please don't mind me, I just get lost in my own ramblings and nostalgia. =(

They were all pretty much the same except maybe just a few performances switched around, but this was pretty much going by the setlist from the first day. Big Bang performed "Remember" "Foolish Love" & "Ban jjak Ban jjak" on the first day but not the other 3 concerts. I guess because the first concert was actually the longest one so maybe they went over in time. I can't say a bad thing about the performances because everything looked so good and sounded so good to me in there therefore I am in love with everything, but maybe just seeing them live made it that much more dynamic to me. If so, and if that makes it different from when I review their performances online or on a DVD, then they must be doing something right cos' I think their lives are still so good, very raw. The only thing that I could probably say I disliked was that when I was in the sitting sections, everyone is SITTING. @_@" I don't like sitting during concerts! It feels lame. So I for sure stood up at any given chance. So basically, all the fans are sitting down unless Big Bang tell people to stand up, but I'd like to think they would appreciate a hyped crowd and people standing up and dancing. I thought it was cool that from what I could see, a lot of the time it would be the Japanese fans being the first ones to stand up and then y'know that causes a chain reaction for everyone else to stand up. But seriously, at the times people were sitting down and if Big Bang were walking/dancing by our section I admit, I hella jumped out of my seat because I wanted them to see me! LOL. I really couldn't help it! And I'm sorry I'm so tall and that probably annoyed other people. (I'm not sure because I never really looked back, if I did I'd be too embarrassed) But, when Big Bang are RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I got so excited that there was like a spring on my seat so I'd jump up and wave and call their names and hold my sign up when I had it. Despite those sitting times, I loved it when all the fans got up on their feet. I think the last concert was the best with that because the fans in all sections stood up for longer than the other 2 times I was in the sitting section. I really thought for some reason that I'd be screaming like a maniac on all days but even to my surprise I didn't. I was so caught up on taking Big Bang in with my eyes and singing along that I hardly "screamed" unless...like..Young Bae was walking by and THEN I seemed a little scary..haha. Yikes. Oh yeah, I saw a lot of cameras around so whenever I saw one pointing at our sections I would raise my sign a little higher and kind of lean towards that direction while trying to look at Big Bang. lol. So shameless. I'm a dork.

Haru Haru - The curtains open to reveal Big Bang dressed in immaculate white on top of the high stairway for an effective grand entrance. There was a big orchestra on stage. When I saw Big Bang like that, I didn't scream or yell or cheer, I was just in complete awe, like "wow, that's really them...standing...up there..." O_O They walked slowly down the staircase, GD and TOP being the first ones because of their rap verses. Of course one of the first things to catch my eye besides YB's presence was the gold headband on GD's head. LOL. Before coming to the concert, I know he had been sporting that previously and I honestly thought it was a cute hairstyle at times so I was excited to see that he'd be rockin' one of my favorite hairstyles on him. Granted, I wish he had the "hot hair" from Stand Up tour, it was acceptable. xD The choreography looked the same as the one they did for the end of the year show on KBS, y'know like where instead of the little chest pumps they do, TOP is doing his own little fail arm/elbow flaps. Seeing that really made me like.."xD" every time since I couldn't believe I was seeing that live. I have no idea why I kinda felt surprised that Haru Haru was the opening...it was like that "Oh already??" reaction lol..It's such a good song so...idk..I can't explain it...haha. I guess it would be the obvious choice though since it was the big song of that year...

Heaven - When it transitioned into this song, the screen in the back turned into "heavenly" clouds, and the Crazy dancers came out in cute little gold dresses and their hair was all magically the same length..jk..of course extensions, but they looked lovely. ;D This time when Big Bang did that "cutesy" dance they do in this choreography they did that back and forth paired up with a Crazy dancer. I couldn't help doing the same movements and I was definitely not alone. I could tell even from dancing along to Haru Haru that I would be abusing the right to dance for every single song. I remember being really impressed with all the fancy pyrotechnics going on and worrying about Seungri at the same time just because...I didn't want any accidents happening.

Seungri solo - Before the performance, they showed the Unedited version of the MV and I don't think it was too bad, I mean there were a lot of lip biting kisses most of the time from the girl...=X...and better, longer "ab shots". For the first time I saw it, of course I gasped along with other fans at seeing each of the uncut scenes but on the other 3 concerts I felt really bad because I ended up really laughing a lot..LOL...especially cos' when you could hear all the fans like half crying/screeching at certain scenes. I mean I think it just got funnier after two shows already of hearing the same reactions at the same exact parts because the uncut version is all like.."it goes there" or something. I was like expecting everyone's reactions though at least for the last two concerts. xD I know, so bad..if it were YB, I'd be screeching too or cussing in very obvious English. jk. It was...one of a something hearing all that live. People probably thought I was nuts though for being the one laughing while everyone is in fan pain. ;o; Anyways, the performances for "Strong Baby" were definitely impressive for me to see the Maknae singing and dancing to his song live. He was def trying to be overtly sexy, that it was borderline disturbing for me during the first day in standing because when he dances past us he does all his little pelvic thrusts to his fans and just seeing that above me was like...weird. LOL. I liked how he really looks down at the fans when he dances by though, so good fan interaction when he makes use of the extended stage area. I noticed that he gropes Kyungha's (Crazy dancer) leg for A LOT longer than we've seen him on the music shows. @_@" And then when the music slows down at one part of the song, the other dancer wraps a leg around him and they dance, but like the song really slowwwwwwws down it gets all..uhhhh..and when they go down they make it look like they are about to kiss when the lights turn off, but of course they don't. BUT, that part if you were there, you would have thought he would have done it cos' it was leading to it. >_<" Even I was like "Aaaaaah!" lol. And then again on the floor, he loosens up his shirt, then the music moves faster and that's when he walks/dances by the fans doing his lil' pelvic/groping self movements. lol. Bless this kid, he still makes it to be a dynamic performance though, Victory style~! So proud of the panda boy. Other than Seungri, since I like Crazy a lot I loved seeing them strut their stuff on stage. Awesome dancers. And yes, I was looking at Sungmin also! Hi-Tek~

With U + Number 1 - This opens with the intro of With U, the same way it sounds in the Stand Up tour performance, and it has the green laser lights going on. You see GD dancing first on the top right and then slides down the pole, and then YB does his little dance break on the top left and slides down the pole from the left. The music then changes to Number 1 and they perform this one on the main stage. Number 1 has to be my favorite song from their Japan album so every time they performed this, I was so hyped up that I couldn't resist dancing and singing along. I fucking love this song. When they performthis song, it feels like it's just me and Big Bang in the room. LOL. XDD No but forreal though, I prolly couldn't care less how I look when this song is playing and I'm in my own little world..lalala. Number 1! Susana! I wish you danced more with me..haha. xP

Stylish - I didn't really care for this song when it first came out but the performances definitely changed my mind! It's so upbeat and fun, I don't know why I never noticed it before but they really pump up the crowd with this one. It's funny cos' it also doubles as a free advertisement for FILA. LOL. They dance down the center extended stage and end up at the front of it. Each day they wore different FILA shirts which they'll take off after. I like when they go "so fresh and clean" and they look down at their shirts and show it off. When they do "everybody my the left, everybody my the right, everybody just jump jump jump!" they get everyone to jump out of their seats. There was only really like one day I think the 2nd day I felt bad cos no one was standing up in the beginning, and you can see TOP on our side and he makes the little, "up up" gesture to the crowd with his hands. So cute~ And then yes, of course when Big Bang says to get up, you better get up! For the 3 days I was in the sitting sections I LOVED that they dance in the center of the front of the stage because they are just, like, RIGHT THERE. @_@""""""" ...lifesized..

Remember - From what I 'remember' on the first day, for some reason I do remember hearing them sing parts in English, cos' otherwise I don't know why I remember me singing in English while another Korean fan near me was singing in Korean but I would have sang in Korean too if it was...I'm sorry but this is such a blur for me other than singing along because I was dealing with a lot of shit in the standing area. You'll see what I mean when you read about my first day... (only in first concert)

Foolish Love - Ugh. I remember hearing it but it was such a blur, I think this was when I felt like I couldn't breathe from all the intense pushing in the standing area... (only in first concert)

Ban Jjak Ban Jjak - I remember hearing it and singing along but was prolly half-dying..by this time...lol...damn... (only in first concert)

Taeyang Solo (Look At Only Me) - Wow, that piano looked so heavy, I have no idea what kind of cables they used to hold it and him up while he was playing it but it looked so dangerous. I had to balance out feeling all excited and worried for his safety. I seriously loved cheering "DONG YOUNG BAE" with everyone. ;-; The piano was put down on the middle of the stage and he plays it and then dances top of the piano for his dance break. The choreography with the girl included a chair dance and ends with him kneeling in front of her and holding her close with his head at her stomach. This performance was as great as I thought it would be and more. I love his adlibs. He always puts such feeling into his performance. So amazing. My attention was all on him. To see him perform his own solo song was priceless. Ahh, "to be like YB"<333 He was fantastic. I would have loved to see him perform "My Girl" but "Look At Only Me" was good enough too~

TOP Solo - A clip plays and it's TOP and the Goong S girl in the car fighting. I think the most intense part was when he yells at her and raises his hand at her (doesn't hit her). And then TOP enters from the back center of the stage, looking stunning in a black suit with his disco hair. He had a trenchcoat on, the lighting was a deep red that made everything look so dramatic and powerful as he walked through the the "rain". He walked to the right side of the stage (from audience POV) to rap a part of the song and then a clip plays again of him walking away from the girl. At this part, after seeing the clip the first 2 times, the last 2 times my eyes would still be on TOP who's standing in the darkness. You could see the other fans waving at him from the area over there. The climax of the song is when he goes to the center of the extended stage and the music is louder and more raw. The fire is blazing up while he's rapping hard and I was feelin' that part of the performance. He then walks over to the left side of the stage where another mic is set up, and finishes the song there. Under the spot light and singing slower and more emotional, you really feel for him. That, or like me, you'd be staring at his face because he'd be so still and right there and you can see all his handsome features. Def one of my favorite performances of the concert, because I love how they rearranged the song to be more dramatic and I like the way he stays in character on stage. The other 4 come out to perform...

Lady - This performance, I both hate it and love it all at the same time!!! Haha. Even before coming to the concert, I somehow had a feeling they would use this song for some kind of "bring a fan on stage" type of thing and I was right! What they did here was that the first 2 times, GD had a backpack on and held a camera and the last 2 times Seungri had it on, and during the song they would go looking into the crowd for their "Lady". So they would go all around with the camera playing around with it, focusing on the fans or at each other and everything they filmed is projected onto the big screens. Incredibly cute, I didn't know whether I should look at the screen sometimes or Big Bang because I liked when they would put the camera in each others faces and act silly. When they found the "lady" each time they brought her up on stage and told her she had to choose one of them. They then dance around her (THIS KILLED ME SOOOO BAD SOOOOO CUTE) like a musical chairs type of way, getting so touchy to the fan, putting their arms around her and trying to "woo" her, and being the cutest I've ever seen them, even YB was playing along. The orders they were chosen on each concert, and the gifts they gave to the girls: 1st (YB, panda bear), 2nd (TOP, red scarf), 3rd (Seungri, no idea lol), 4th (GD, couple pajamas) I tell more details in my other entries about this performance because best believe that I was watching this like a hawk! LOL. I was really pathetic because I'd jump up when they would come by with the camera. xD Especially after already knowing from the first concert what they were going to do for this song, I was all imagining what it would be like to be on stage with them and so I was like "ready" (lol). Aaahh, my luck is not that good though...haha. I failed each time obviously..but you shoulda seen me with my hopes up..hahahaha...oh gosh..lucky girls. Big Bang were so cute to the fans down in front too, like when they go "excuse me miss girl" and give special attention to different areas of the standing area. Lucky lucky lucky girls. I don't know how likely it is for all 4 concerts to be on DVD but they must show all of this..because it's wayy to cute and way to spazz worthy. I think if there was a performance I basically did the screeching "andwaeeee"ish "shiro"ish screaming it'd be this one..lol..from insane jealously. xD

Wonderful - lol the words "Wonderful" flashes on the screen and it's all super colorful. Damn Big Bang, kill me with 'Lady' and love me with 'Wonderful'. LOL. Wonderful is one of my favorite songs so I spazzed like no other when it came on, sooooo adorable. For some reason I like their formation when TOP says "mazinga". Seungri was adorable with his pouty face/crying face.

GD Solo - But I Love U - short accapella with the words flashing on the screen, doesn't perform this but I wish he did! It's my favorite song from their 2nd minialbum. =/ DJ G Dragon rises up and I fucking flip out hearing the G Dragon Remix. Talk about a freakin' THROWBACK. G-Dragon's mix was too freaking DOPE to be in a concert man, Gdragon/Hot Issue/This Love. lol. I did NOT expect it at all. The platform he's on says GD, and there's a giant GD coin thing in the back. He was DJing but he blew me away with this performance. He looked like he was really concentrating on what he was doing and having so much fun with it, dancing and bouncing his head, raising his hand up and telling everyone to scream. GD knows how to get it crackin for sure, I felt like I was dancing in a club every time he performed this. The Crazy dancers came out in scantily clad outfits with different colored bright stalkings dancing with what was a stripper pole-looking thing. lol. He then stops and gets out from where he's at and stretches and This Love starts playing. GD's such a heartbreaker, he would be singing to the fans even on his knees right in their faces. At the end of the song he goes down on a platform on the right side, one time goes down pointing up, another time turning in circles, another time very slow as if that thing is like..broken..lol..it stalled so long that he just ducks his head already. And then one of the times we hear like this bigass THUMP, and it sound like he either dropped his mic or elbow hit the stage. @_@"

A Fool With Tears - At the center of the main stage, YB is playing on a piano/keyboard/synthesizer thing, Daesung on some bongo-ish drums and Seungri looking suave with his acoustic guitar. Big Bang always with the surprises. The walls on both sides of the stage open to reveal TOP on the left and GD on the right, both high up. They had to use that one flying thing to put only one of their feet in and be lowered down. On the 2nd day, TOP's foot almost slips off and you can see his reaction on his face. And then I noticed the other 2 concerts after that there is more security guys below to help him down or, just under him in case he falls. >_<"

A Good Man - This one was very chill, it was just them sitting on stools on the center mainstage and TOP in the middle cos' it's his song. I noticed GD really can't keep still because he swivels it and puts his legs up sometimes. He tells us to repeat the Napeun Saram, Chakam Saram parts.

Oh Ma Baby - They dance mostly in the intersection, and then dance at the forefront of the stage. I was happy they performed this song. It's funny because they performed this song the way they would have always performed it like in the Want You concerts.

Always - YB is on the bigger lift that raises up from the center of the extended stage and everyone else are on those zip line/foot ones. TOP on the front left and GD on front right. I can't remember which sides Seungri and Daesung were on because I looked at whoever was closest to me which was either TOP or GD. YB was the one mostly singing this one I think, maybe that's why he was on the bigger lift.. This was definitely a cool cooool part of the concert because Big Bang are flying over their fans and waving and really giving a chance for the fans at the top to see them up close. There was a lot of waving and direct looks. Very sweet, more for the fans than for the performance of it.

Make Love - At the beginning it was Seungri, YB, and Daesung and they sing this in Korean! They dance with the mic stands and the girls moving like they are mic stands, vice versa, thin dresses. And the girls do this one..I dunno what you call it..but sudden wide leg opening in the middle..lol. TOP then comes out from the farthest left ramp and GD from the farthest right ramp. GD does his cute little "joyride" move in circles. Even when TOP's side is darkened and he's being lowered down, he still waves to the fans. After seeing this so much, I think the choreography is really creative...like it's sexy in a classy way, not slutty or anything at all. I love love love hearing Seungri and Daesung sing YB's song with him...it sounded perfect. Especially with Daesung's voice on that like butter..*O*..they did good with that~

Daesung's Solo - Daesung's solo was so awesome! I was in Japan when "Big Hit" came out so I hardly got to listen to it before coming to Korea so my first real time hearing it and paying attention was during Daesung's performance of it. It also helped that they had the lyrics displayed on the screens so everyone could sing along like one big karaoke room with his new song..haha. I think it's another fun trot song, good for concert environments. I liked the stage they have because in the back they have his face and words scrolll across, even through the stage. At the Ddae bbak dance break it's in the tune of the U Go Girl dance break which was so cute. He lifts his shirt. @_@" Daesung purposely slips and falls as part of the song for all days. I think people thought he fell by accident but yeah after seeing him fall in the same spot, it was definitely on purpose. lol. He also has this big fake thumb on that he throws out to the audience. I couldn't tell what it was at first but yeah a thumb. o-o And then before he leaves he kisses his thumb at the fans, and then a few times to Big Bang before he walks off stage in that "trot star" way. It's cute when they move back from him like he's a "force".

Lalala/BIGBANG/How Gee/Shake it Medley - Daesung is the only one who raises his shirt high up during 'Lalala'. During 'BIGBANG' the music stops at "Everybody get them hands up" and I feel hella moded cos we're all singing that part lol..and then it goes into 'How Gee' where they just sit on the steps for that one. 'Shake it' they come up to the left side of the extended stage and during GD's rap he runs through fast. And IDK the dance moves YB does..lol..he's just like..in his own world. xD I liked this medley because it was the old school songs~

Oh Ah Oh - This was cool, they all had little bikes that they rode all around the stage. I noticed Daesung was moving hella slow and carefully going up the left ramp even though he really doesn't have a long way to go at all. lol. The other guys ride so fast around the stage I was afraid they'd crash into each other or something. GD's effin' crazy he can go around that thing with his foot up. In the end they all meet at the center of the main stage and dance with red light sticks. Daesung would kinda be the last one most of the time because he either dropped his bike at the end of the ramp and had to run back or he rode so slow back to the stage that he had to give up halfway and walk the end of it. lol. This song is fun, I had fun yelling out "TOGETHER FOREVER!"<333

Last Farewell - They performed this on the main stage. Nothing really special with this other than it was a remix and that I could sing along. lol. When I think of this song it totally brings me back to like, when they performed it hella times. lol. Had fun doing the classic jump roping moves..^^"

Sunset Glow - Of course they had the sunset in the background..lol. They end this one with going to the front of the extended stage and being raised up on a high platform when it was the "Ah! Ah! Ah!" part and had us repeat it. They are such boys, YB and Daesung can hella jump off that thing. And one time while they were walking back to the main stage, TOP hella bear hugs Daesung on the way. Aaahhh cute. Yes, I squealed at seeing that.

Oh My Friend - This was after the "Encore" shouting and starts off with people on those big drum things, building up the anticipation to see Big Bang again. For some reason, I can remember really staring at Daesung's muscles. @_@" lol Dude, his arms are really huge! YB jumps around during this...lol. But everyone is always up at this part of the concert jumping up and down, and it felt as if there was an earthquake. Haa~

Lies - You know it's the end when they perform "Kohjidmal". It's like the song you know they have to perform to complete the show. They've performed this hella times but I've always said I wanted to see this live and I can't believe I did. TOP, Seungri, and Daesung were at the left of the stage, and GDYB were at the right and then everyone goes to the middle and then the fore front of the stage. Ahhhh the confetti and everything made for a great ending. Oh yeah! I knew Sunset Glow couldn't be the last song cos' there was no confetti..lol. It feels good to somewhat get this song out of my system..lol..in the way that..I finally saw Big Bang perform this live more than enough times, and I got to sing and dance along like I've always wanted. >_<" They do their thanks right in the middle of the song. And that's when they point out YG and how he's been in that central controls area the whole time. I couldn't see on the first day cos I was in standing but from the 2nd concert on, I had a feeling it was him. When Big Bang go back behind stage, all the endings are different, it's never the same thing, which I like. But it's always sad to see them leave...

RANDOM NOTES

- YG was watching all 4 concert shows from that center control area the whole time. I didn't see him the first day only because I was in standing area but from the 2nd concert on til the very last concert, I saw him there with a beige hat not the blue hat. I thought that was really cool, because he's big boss YG! Now and then I would peek at him and see him smiling a lot especially during Daesung's "Big Hit" solo he'd be smiling so much, I wonder if it hurt. Laughing/smiling/laughing...what a sight~! LOL one time he was seriously just sitting down and smoking right there in the control area. @_@"

- TOP! I talk about TOP a lot when my friends ask about the concert because out of all the Big Bang members I saw him the most when he's closer to our section (him or GD), whether in standing or sitting. TOP like REAAAALLLYY interacted with fans a lot, such a change from his like no-touchy days because TOP would just be going around making funny faces to the fans and touching their hands, swiping it, and teasing by dipping his hand in and out from the crowd. At the 4th concert, during "Lie" he was playing with the fans and had the red spikey mask on and took it off. At one point it looked like he was about to give it into the fans in the standing area but he pulls back before they could touch it and laughs. LOL. I was like "phew" because I was watching him that whole time and I was all like "Aaaaahhh noooo!!!" xD He was really cute and playful though, I really love him that much more after seeing him like that all the time.

- Seungri is one of a something. lol. He hella makes exagerrated faces like those "Heeeyyyyyy it's you!" and points and does that little "searching" look. The funny thing is that he goes over to where he sees HIS fans and so he gives them the most attention. Of course, nothing wrong with that, but it's like he has a radar for his own fan signs..ahahaha. He's sooooo cheesy though, in a good Seungriesque way but it was too amusing..lol.

- GD is the king of fan service. If I had to place Big Bang members in order of who are the best at interacting with fans it'd be GD, TOP, Seungri, Daesung and then YB...barely..lol. GD plays with his fans so much that if you're a GD fan how lucky you are that he knows what you want from him..haha.

- It's during Oh My Friend but YB got really hyper this one time and started jumping in really high circles by himself in the middle/front of the stage. LOL. I was srsly wondering how much sugar he had to be doing all that. Like reallyy HIGHHHH jumping. He can fly! I wish YB wasn't so far away from me all the time...

- On the last 2 concerts TOP talks about his grandfather during one of the MCs and looked like he was about to cry. =(

- At one of the MC parts, TOP had his arm around YB. Yeah...that's it. lol. I just thought that was too cute.

- I can't remember before what song this was since they changed their pink attire around for different songs but when Big Bang came out in mostly pink-ish outfits I thought they were going to sing their version of "So Hot"...but only in my dreams huh. xD

- At the 4th concert, it was the only time YB...I should call him Taeyang..><" took off his shirt for "Look At Only Me" during all 4 concerts. @_@" Yes, I'll elaborate on that later but the thing that I wanted to say was that at the MC part after, the 4 other Big Bang members were teasing Seungri that he should take off his shirt and show his abs too. LOL. He almost does, holding his shirt like he was going to lift it up but doesn't do it. Booo~

I cannot resist...

SOFA KING HOT

Thank you.

Now back to your blogging.

I...had to let that out of my system.

alive and kickin'

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 10:40:07 GMT

Wow, I haven't been on this thing in a minute.
I just wanted to let you all know that I'm alive..LOL.

I can't believe it's already April! Which means it was more than 2 months since the Big Show.
Time really flies these days. It's strange. I don't really notice how much time passes..=/
I read how the Big Show live CD will be out soon. I know I'll be both excited and sad to listen to it for obvious reasons. Withdrawal~
I know I still haven't posted about my Korea trip/Big Show but for those who care enough to read it still, though it is hella late..LOL, I'll be posting it pretty soon. Better late than never right?! =_=" If you don't care anymore..haha..I understand! Actually, I feel like I have to post about it before the concert airs on Japan's TBS on the 29th or it'll be a complete fail on my part..haha. Either way, it'll be on this friggin' journal! >=) I just write hella. Even if I have all these notes I took already with details, I still write hella much more..@_@" Again, some of you know how I am...type type type away~ goshhh~

Best believe that it will be very detailed.^^ It's been awhile but I got thissss! lol
Truthfully, in the beginning I could hardly bring myself to listen to whatever songs they performed at the concerts because when I did, it just makes me day dream and zone off with mixed feelings...happiness from all the memories, sadness from the fact that it's over...
When that Big Show live CD comes out, it'll be so nice..you guys will love it! You all already know this but Big Bang are PENGtastic live, no joke. You go to a Big Bang concert, they give you a CONCERT, no doubt. About the TBS airing...since it's a Japan channel..I kinda hope they show the Japanese fans then because...lol..I'm hoping to see myself in the flock~ XD When there was a camera around, I was totally aware and would lean a bit to the whatever side it was shooting to show my fansign...haha...shameless. xP During one of the rehearsals I saw a cameraman shooting the fans and even called out to him, "Chogiyo~! Chogiyo~!" and he turned to me and filmed me with my sign. I think I looked kinda ridiculous cos' I had on Tammy's purple frames and was cheesin' like the village idiot. DX I was going to say which live songs I'm looking forward to hearing again..but then I just end up listing all the solo ones and group ones..so..umm..everything. lol..except maybe Haru Haru from the last day, cos I believe that's the only time I heard Daesung crack his voice. lol Butttt hmmm, TOP's solo, GD's solo mosdef a must listen for how they revamped their song(s)..

I just cleared out some space from my laptop too so I should be able to put the stuff I filmed at the Venue on my laptop and prolly make a little montage..with music..because...my voice is ugly..D: IDK if I mentioned before but I also checked out the BB exhibit in Osaka and filmed there also so I have that to share too~ My camera skills suck tho~ heuk~ T_T I did something bad there though that was caught on camera..I'll prolly edit it out...la la la~

Anyways, school is kicking my ass as always but I am getting through it..hopefully. D: A lot has happened in my life since I last posted here, GD's hair has changed a gazillion times as usual while mine has stayed the same D:...the International Secret Agents concert in SF I helped out with was a success..4cthepower was a success..that's another thing I have on queue to blog about. @_@" I know..it's all late but only a few interesting things happen in my life..lol..if I blogged every day I'd bore you..unless you want to know I had monster cramps earlier and felt like dying. LOL. -_- Or that my Bio Prof. refers to peeing as "going to tinkle"..lol..

Lots of Far East Movement-ness lately. <3 Their performance at SFSU's API SMASH lastttt Monday was awesome & we got to go out to eat and chit-chat with them again after wards. It was so funny when Jae and Proh got to talking about BOF and calling it "Flowers Over Boys" and you hear the whole table correcting them. XD Proh imitating the drama and saying "Sunbaenim" & "I am Goo Jun Pyo" was hilarious. xD Love those guys, they are so hard working, humble, and full of greatness. Please check them out if you haven't already. fareastmovement.com or fmonyourdial.com I know keureeselle knows what's up. Haha. And I know all you Kpop heads have probably heard of the Map The Soul Tour that they are on with Epik High. That shiz is gonna be too incredi-dope for words. If you live in or near the states, you should def go! I'll be going to SF, LA, and NYC so let me know if any of you are going to any of those venues, cos I wanna see yo fezzes~ 8D Haha. Support the movement! Ah, and I'll be seeing them perform in Sac Friday so I iz excited about that~

Oh yeah, I joined Twitter awhile ago. Geez, I think it was right at the tip-edge time before it exploded into this world-wide tweet fest..LOL. I didn't even know what it was when I joined and even though it's kind of the primitive version of Facebook statuses, it serves it's purpose when you and your friends are hella fucking boreddd. So follow me if you like^^ Yes, I have two.

http://twitter.com/the7REAL - for fangirling tweet purposes, I know I'm weird for having two twitter accounts but I'd rather not annoy my RL friends by spazzing about such things as YB using toothpaste to try and grow his hair. LOL. ya digg?
http://twitter.com/JERI7YN - RL. I actually use this one more, just because I'm too lazy to log out and sign in...hahah

How is everyone doing? Sorry for not commenting like..ever. Again, this would be the best time to de-friend me if you were thinking about it, while I don't even notice..haha. It'll hurt me a little..T_T..but I'll be okaaay~ BUTTT, there's some people on here (like playitdirty) who I know I added right before my unannounced hiatus, who I hope won't cut me from your f-list..cos I still want to get to know you guys~ DX

I'm actually thinking of getting another LJ for my RL blogs...I know, I know...stop getting multiples of everything! I can't help it..cos' I want to keep this LJ name but I want another one too..LOL. I was thinking that or a blogspot just cos'..IDK IDK. Actually, I already did make another LJ awhile ago, but just haven't posted on it..haha. XP Also, I just think I need a separate journal to talk about boring life stuff anyways. This one is more fandom-y. I don't like filters, and whatevers. We'll see. Oh yeah, the reason I'm rambling so much is prolly cos' its 3AM. Shit, I better sleep... I'm going to be a zombie in class~ Grr Arghh

TTFN

FUCCCCKKKK, aaahhh I'll post soon when I can...if I finish my latest essay assignment than I can freely do that..and update my fic...AISSSHH...been sooo long..mianhe~ I miss LJ, I miss my f-list, I ...kinda..miss posting on stuff like LJ or Soompi..D: lol Man, Big Bang make me want to drink beer. And not just ANY beer---HITE BEER. And I don't even like beer! Big Bang on advertisements DO work. I dunno if that's a good or bad thing. O_o One thing's for sure..they make it look SO FRESH, SO COOL. And in this hot weather, we need it! xD LOL.

The Big Show 00: "I came. I saw. I conquered. ...I shopped."

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:05:59 GMT

Hey self, apparently, even if you think you were dreaming but was actually really off gallivanting in other countries - life does still go on without you. It doesn't slow down, it doesn't stop, it doesn't even wait for you - it just goes. So stop being a slow poke, okay? 빨리! 빨리!

With that said, the reason I haven't been updating or posting anywhere yet of my Big Show concert experience is because I've been trying to catch up with life - all aspects of it, actually. School, family, friends, etc. Phew. Play time is over! Back to reality. Time to buckle down and take care of business.

By the time I get to finishing writing about everything maybe it'll feel old .. but I hate to leave things hanging..even though I often do that. >_> I will tell you now though... that I will probably never get over this whole trip...so I apologize in advance if I start to be annoying. In my whole life, I've only had about 2 major lasting obsessions - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and YG Family. SE7EN, 1TYM, and BIGBANG preoccupying most of my brain. Although I listen to and enjoy many many different artists and music/genres, these are the only ones that I've ever 'invested' so much 'love' into (no, love does not equate to money, although money has been spent over said loved people..lol it's SUPPORT! xD). So yeah, going to Korea (is that really halfway across the world?!) to see Big Bang in concertS in the friggin' country of their origin - is a pretty big deal to me. Of course, as to any fan who dreams of attending their favorite artists' concerts. I will probably never have that kind of opportunity ever again in my life, so I will bask in my memories and cling on to every single detail that I can remember. T_T It's not something I want to hide either..because it's something I was and am still excited about..I'm happy to have had this experience and would "shout out to the world" (lolBBplug) about it. LOL. Okay don't read that so dramatically, cos' I just imagined myself singing on a mountain like in the 'Sound Of Music'. xD

I guess I'll start backwards by posting pictures of the "treasures" I brought back from ~~Big Bang Land~~ Korea and Japan. I'm a cheese ball, but even just physically being there to buy these items on the spot...was so cool. >_<"

Please do not take out these images. I know no one will cos' the pictures aren't anything special..lol..but it'd be weird cos' someone might think I got all this stuff for my self..or think I am selling..which I'm not. @_@" Btw, I'm so glad I didn't have a problem going though Customs.

Later when I post my full account, I'll probably tell in detail how it was like buying 8s, 10s, even 14 of things at the merchandise booths, because the faces you get for it are priceless! lol They look kind of like: D8, O_o, O_O?, o_o~ Actually, now that I think about it, those were the same faces I got in Japan and Korea whenever I spoke English. LOL. But hey, at the venue I said the amounts in Korean..but then followed with English again. It's okay, they understood, it's just the 'WTF 14 blankets?!' thing that had to set in at the time. XD I think it was the 2nd day of the concert where I had to buy the blankets, shirts and hoodies all right there and in bulk, so they put the hoodies and shirts in a box and we stuffed my big blue laundry bag (provided by Monica) with all the tubed blankets, and SOMEHOW I was able to move them by myself to at least right in front of the barricades for the booths and just stood there waiting for Susana to come back from..the restroom? I forgot...but it was awhile of me just chillin' there....awkwardly. An awkward chill. XD But yeah, I was hella just standing there while people walked by probably wondering why the eff I had so much stuff to myself. LOL. This one lady was like, "뭐야?" like "What's that?" and I was like, "It's for my friends..." and then scared her away with my English. @_@" English nausea/phobia. I'm sorry? lol

Anyways, closer to the time of my trip, the few people that I did tell I was going to Korea were mostly the friends I already hang out with over here, so I told them that if they wanted - they could give me their money and list before I leave, I will bring back whatever they wanted from Japan and Korea. I was more than happy to be their "buyer" on this trip. xD Actually, if I wasn't so broke, the ideal thing would have been to just buy the stuff for them..but I didn't and still don't have such money to freely spend like that. :( Mianhe~ But little did I know that hauling all of this back to the states would test my physical endurance and lung capacity. lol Although I felt like Santa when I came back and gave them the stuff they bought, I did not have no sled and reindeer, okay!! (lol some of the girls I saw the day after I arrived, cos they wanted to ~~get their stuff already~~ see me and their eyes lit up like TOP in front of a donut shop) I had a medium black duffel bag that would fit all the clothes I brought to wear on the trip (I had no idea it had a shoulder strap til' my last day in Japan), that big blue laundry bag for more space and a big red luggage with a wheel that was about to die at the end from all the weight crushing down on it. DX All of which were HEAVY. My arms hurt thinking about it..haha. WHY AM I SO WEAK?! T_T

Wow, I talk a lot.... ON TO THE GOODS! (which will include more comments from me, but you can just skip those if you want and look at the pictures...>_<)

lol, I like how everything looks like together, because it makes it seem like..hella..but not. lol. I could've jump in there and rolled around insanely...but first of all that's weird, and I would NEVER think of that, second - it would hurt, and thirdly, the other girls would hunt me down and KILL me for squashing all their stuff. LOL.

From the Big Show, I got..one of everything (might as well, since I was physically THERE right?!) that was listed, minus the photo album, shopping bag and crown light stick (I have this already). Yes I know, crazy, but keep in mind that my grandparents gave me BIRTHDAY $$ to spend on goodies. >_<" And Susana is witness to me holding back on eating in Japan sometimes cos' of paranoia of running out of money. lol. Some of my other friends were more hardcore and bought every single thing there along with their other requests. <3 lol. It's okay, it was mostly the young ones who at one point, shoved their wads of cash in my hands before I left and just told me to get everything and anything BB related for them. Tammy's list, bless, included "ANYTHING YB OF BIGBANG RELATED THATS FCKING CUTEE" XD Everything was so cheap though, OMG. T_T"

Note on hoodies: If you plan to get them online, they are REALLY comfy and Susana says it's better quality than the Stand Up hoodies. I haven't tried on the shirt yet..

That little spot that is fucking dazzling my eyes out in this pic with it's shiny-ness is actually just the 'magic bangels' aka slapon bracelets. Big ups to YG for bringing those things back...they are fun. Believe it or not, this picture still doesn't include everything I brought back..I didn't take pictures of the posters (I got a free GD Cyon Edge poster from some really sweet KVIPs, which I will tell about later^^) and stuff like the Fila agenda..cos' I was lazy but you get the gist. Also, this is after Susana took out her batch..lol.. Space wasn't really a problem though, it was more like weight, though it may not seem like tooo much in this picture..you haven't seen the blankets yet. lol. Btw, the new versions of the BB bandanas do glow in the dark and the 3 things lined up at the right next to it are the photo albums of which you would then put in your "secret photos".

angles, angles~

I know I know, they are out of the plastic things..the horror! But, I had to take em' out so I can fit in my luggage. I did keep the plastic things though and gave it to the girls who wanted it. >_> Yes, they wanted it. I knew it. lol. Blankets are warm and I think bigger than the cartoon blankets - has strong laces on the front if you're eccentric and want to walk around with it on like a cape. jk. It's useful.

BB shopping bags... the rolled up posters are the ones that came with the BB autobiographies. I didn't bother to get a shopping bag, but was useful to people at the concert buying goods~ COS THEY DON'T GIVE YOU FREE BAGS TO CARRY YOUR STUFF. D:

One of my friends, Carol, needed me to get her stock of BB albums. LOL. Both the Number 1 albums are mine though, one came with a poster when I got it at Tower Records in Japan and other had the listening CD. The wall calender, diary, Stand Up mask, black bandana and a BANG ring not pictured here are for the maknae, Tammy. Fila Stylish CD, I got with my...shoes. >_> I have the diary agenda also..which I'm using..D:

Cellphone straps...pretty~

Magic BANGels! The guy gave me these for free...

"Secret" photos. I'll tell you the secret.... *whispers* It's pictures of Big Bang..xD

STICKERS! I think there's about 6 of them that I have to send to my friend Eve in NYC cos' I think she's gonna sell them in her Soompi selling thread..so if you're interested..I think her Soompi ID is grittseve? :x

BB autobiographies! There's actually suppose to be 6 of these but I accidentally left 3 behind in Japan with Susana because we forgot it was in her luggage. @_@" I kind of freaked out when I was counting everything because I was like jkvnfdkjndk "OMG I LOST THEM! HOW DID I LOSE THEM!?" and I pretty much thought I was going crazy because how can you lose 3 pretty medium books with a little..other book thing attached to it. @_@" Phew. But man, if I did have the other 3...that would be more weight to carry. Yes, I will attempt to read it. I must. ..eventually. IT WILL HAPPEN! D: ..if you see little lines on the carpet..yes it's my hair, I am aware..I'll pick it up..gosh..=_='' lol you probably wouldn't have noticed it but since I do..someone will..xD

This bunch here is from our little gift box from the Look Korea/H.I.S tour, of which they left for us to find in our hotel room. :3 The rehearsal pass, little photo wallet, mouse pad, coffee canister(?), and a folder..yes, random stuff.

This was from my little tour packet thing. It shows for just 3 concerts, because we bought tickets to the 4th added concert separately.

BIGBANG Limited Edition FILA F1XKR5012(BGO) - BIELLA LINGUA ST aka The black and gold Fila shoes. DX I swear, I didn't really plan to get those! Being at the Fila store with all the Japanese fans buying things left and right was CRAZY I tell you!!! MADNESS!!! LOL. It was such a frenzy that before I knew it, when we were leaving, I was carrying out a bag and was like, "WTF?! OMG! DID I JUST BUY FILA SHOES?!?!?! @_@" They are beautiful though. *O* But I doubt I'll buy any Fila anything after that..LOL...or actually just anything endorsed by Big Bang anymore unless I really really like it. Before going to Korea, I was eyeing them so I did get something I had wanted and liked a lot so I didn't just pick up anything and buy it just because it says Big Bang. BUT, the fact that these kicks were indeed appealing to me beforehand AND do say BIGBANG right in the front, just make it that much more special to me. XD Of course cheaper in Korea than I've seen online. @_@" The white versions of these are hella nice too, Susana has a pair. I also thought the red ones look really good in person also.

Oh, and that ski mask you see there...lol. Well, I don't know if you guys have seen any fancams of the Lotte World video of Big Bang that was shown at the Big Show, but Big Bang had on different masks and went around doing missions. And, RANDOMLY when we got back to Osaka, Japan and went into the store Don Quixote, as soon as we walked in, I spotted that mask that YB was wearing in the clip, staring right at me! @_@" It was cheap, so I bought it. LOL. I will somehow make use of it. AND, his mask wasn't the only one there, I think everyone's masks were hanging on that same rack. @_@" So, I wonder if Big Bang had been there before...or most likely they did get all of them at some other Don Quixote super store on their previous visit to Japan. But that was SO random because I was not even looking for that at all, and there ya' go..something Big Bang related in my fezz.

If anything, this next thing is probably the real gem of the Big Bang 'Big Show' goods. If they go on sale online somewhere, it's a must have item!

The BB pamphlet. Okay, when I read pamphlet before I thought of the little flimsy things like programs..but these were freaking thick and heavy! @_@" They are probably mostly to blame for my arms hurting carrying them in my carry-on laundry bag. But inside, it's filled with real nice BB photoshoots, my favorite being the paint party ones.^^
Here's a little preview/spoiler thing of the most precious section for the curious:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/ygpeachgirl/BIG%20SHOW/DSC03509b.jpg
^GEEDEE. How cute. I like his drawings~ He took his time~
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/ygpeachgirl/BIG%20SHOW/DSC03511b.jpg
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/ygpeachgirl/BIG%20SHOW/DSC03510b.jpg
^ lol YB.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/ygpeachgirl/BIG%20SHOW/DSC03512b.jpg
^ TOP's reminded me of HEROES, first season. lol. It's pretty freaking awesome though.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/ygpeachgirl/BIG%20SHOW/DSC03513b.jpg
^Oh, Daesung. You are so...you.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/ygpeachgirl/BIG%20SHOW/DSC03514b.jpg
^WTF? He drew YB's head so tiny and yet somehow managed to attempt to draw a face in it. rofl.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/ygpeachgirl/BIG%20SHOW/DSC03515b.jpg
^What's with Seungri making everyone and himself look...mean? LOL. The page where he foresees himself singing in Las Vegas 10 years into the future was really random. LOL. But somehow, I can so see him there. Yeah, like a Tom Jones singing similar things to or exactly, "She's a lady", "Sex bomb", and "It's not usual". I think he'd like it a lot - his own dressing room, "VICTORY" in fancy lights and glitter, entertaining an audience every night, seeing Las Vegas show girls and strippers left and right, being as cheesy as his limits allow because he's the main attraction - yes, Vegas is Seungri's dream land. And when I'm old and he's the only Big Bang member performing in the states, I will be that old and loyal grandma going to see him every night with my retirement money. huzzah~ 8D

And....I BROUGHT BACK MY VERY OWN HUMAN BEING!!!! >=D

JK. It's the big blue bag that helped me a bunch with carrying goods...and..apparently my friend Justine..sitting in it. D: I think I went to the restroom when this happened...wtf she fits. lol

Look what else we got for Justine...

HAHAHAHA. Doraemon costume~ She always said that she'd wear one to HB if Big Bang goes, if she ever found one..now she just better keep her promise. :] We got this one at Don Quixote in Osaka.

Guess which hand is mine~

The end..for now~

ps: I filmed around the concert venue, so once I put that together, I'll share here~^^

ps ps: Again, I'm getting tired of my username..lol..looks weird as watermark, tags, or labels. T_T" It's not aesthetically pleasing to me anymore! lol. I did make another LJ....but not sure if I'll move to it or not... hmmmm

the golden ticket?

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 03:48:45 GMT

Sooooo~ this is going to sound completely and out of nowhere...

And, I've wanted to make a 2008 reflection entry before posting this next thing, but that's taking longer than expected... so I'll just post this now as I have some pretty BIG news...>o<;

I'm going to the BIG SHOW!!!

..and not just one...I am going to ALL four shows & a rehearsal! @_@"

I....can hardly believe it myself but it's true, and technically since it's past midnight where I am, I'm leaving tonight at 10:00PM.

You might be wondering why I didn't tell you all sooner. Truthfully, I didn't want to tell anyone/too many people until I could be 110% SURE that I was really going to go - that everything was confirmed, everything was planned out. So yeah, the reason why I waited so last minute to tell people is because I was ~~traumatized~~ paranoid from last year.... Some of you might remember that I was actually suppose to go to the G.R.E.A.T. concerts last year with Monica and other iVIPs but even though I was SO SO close to going (packed and ready!) ..obviously that didn't work out and I did not end up going. Seriously, it's very rare to even have the opportunity to go to 3 GREAT concerts and a YG One concert, especially for foreign fans, when fans in the motherland of Big Bang have to fight for just even ONE ticket online. I, who had only DREAMED of going to any Big Bang concerts across the ocean, thousands of miles away, could never have fathomed the REAL idea of actually going to one. I'm not gonna lie, I was really sad about it but I guess it just really wasn't my time. =/

...and then the offer of seeing Big Bang in concert, and more than once, came up again. O_O How in..the..world...? ....I had to grab this chance and at least TRY to go, right? Originally, I had thought it would take more work to make this happen, but as the days went on, to my surprise, the pieces just kind of..fell into place..>_<"

I will be going through a tour package exclusive to Japanese V.I.P. As I am not an official K/J V.I.P, I have Susana (susifg) to THANK BIG TIME for this opportunity to go, as JVIP were allowed to bring one other person with them who didn't have to be a JVIP. ;_;<3 THANK YOU SUSANA! <3 Words cannot express how much I appreciate her and the incredible help she's given me. Thanks to Monica also for even letting me know about this when the two of them had talked about it. Last but not least, I really have to thank my grandparents (WHO I LOVE VERY VERY VERY MUCH) for making this possible!!!! This trip is a birthday present from them!!!! T_T<3 I have to also thank my parents for the flying benefits I have, cos' if I didn't have that, I would so not be able to go to Japan!!!

The package includes: the 3 concerts + rehearsal + plane ticket (to Korea and back to Osaka) + 3 nights stay at a swanky hotel O_O. The plane will leave on Jan 30th (Friday) from the Kansai Intl. Airport in Osaka and will be back in Osaka on Monday, Feb 2nd, so it is 3 nights and 4 days in Seoul. Seems short but I hope it'll feel like one of those fun weekends that seem like it was long. >o< I'll be in Osaka til' Feb. 6th.

/edit/...NFEJKSNFKSNFKSFEIJFKSDN I was going to say more but I'm finding now that I can't finish this post up the way I want to do and say what I want to say because I have ONE HOUR to freaking SPEED PACK to go to the airport!!! Total flight time is prolly like 15 hours give or take fejskn!!

Btw, we got tickets to the 4th added concert, on the 30th I believe, so right after we land in Korea we gotta bounce to the venue already!! Did I mention the first concert showing I'm going to, we have STANDING tickets?!?! Crazy!! @_@"

Ok..ok..I got to put my brain together, pack, print out shit...I'm starting to get a big headache right now... but OMFG, I'M GOING TO JAPAAAAAN!!! omg...Big Bang..

DNKLAS I GOTTA GO..WILL EXPLAIN / DETAILS LATER!!!

you look sweet, smell like honey

First off, I've finished making my new layout!!! WHOOO!!! *the crowd cheers* XD Every time I start working on it, I'm reminded of how frustrating this shit is, and so I end up giving up part of the way and this is what I end up with. XD I still need to tweak it a bit but I iz lazy. I'm sorry for the very ghei colors. I guess I just like that really bright 'wake-you-up-by-throwing-skittles-in-yo-fezz' effect! 8D I modeled it around that oh-so-cute picture of TOP in my header. *O* ..my header is so random..it's like my brain at the moment exploded into photoshop. Snaps, to anyone who knows where that phrase in the top right is from! <3

check out my layout here: C R A Z Y ☆ H O T ☆ M A D ☆ P A R T Y

& I finally made a profile here: shawty, drop it low fo' meh~

Btw, senkkk you to everyone who wished me happy birthday~! :) I'm getting older but I'm still gonna like what I likez and typez the wayz I waontz, and I don't give a fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhck~ XD I have Peter Pan syndrome, leave me alone~~~! DX Hahaha, but forreal though, if you've seen how my Dad is on a daily basis you'd see that I probably take after him and will always be silly at any age. xD I love my Dad, his birthday was on the 18th, so happy birthday to him as well, though I already called him on that day.^^ <3

&& HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to Loretta/drarmp1t from the 12th and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Rey/neonzebras , today! XD

&&& Welcome to my new LJ friend, madys2gd but not a new-new friend since I know you from Soompi and YGBB. XD Her name is Mady and she just opened a new LJ. She's looking for Big Bang fans so....*nudge* !!! ;D VIP GO BIG BANG GO!

ps: I'm staying away from any GBW/HOT DVD spoilers until I get mines! D: But I'll try to comment more this week~ ...as long as you don't have spoilers..!!! lol

Boo~ Classes start for me today so I better sleep! @_@" ...like...now.

/edit/ my new FO banner gif is amusing me at the moment (just like my last one did..lol), as I imagine Big Bang wanting to be on my f-list and I accept them without a doubt. rofl. *le sigh* =/ I NEED SLEEP OKEI. ..and IDK WTF is going on with YB in that part. He's the only one that looks completely disoriented like as if he doesn't know where the hell he is. lol /edit/ Oh you know what? He looks like Smokey from the movie 'Friday' would be standing in front of him like, "You got knocked the fuck out!! ...MAN!" xD YB ILU<3

UGLY MSN DRAWINGS

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:38:37 GMT

The other night while Winnie (itswinniechu ) and I were waiting for Seungri's MV to come out, we were HELLA bored and were drawing on MSN to each other.

These were the results. :D

</lj>

My drawing of Big Bang with GD's creeper hair from KBS. D:

Winnie's drawing of Big Bang:

When I was like, "What's wrong with TOP? D:" Winnie's response:

I was wondering why his mouth looked infected and she clarified that it's his mask.

I told her she should add the spikes on his mask.

I had to include BOSS, right?

Winnie added more to my drawing of Boss:

Me:

Winnie:

LMAO. WTF?

I added wings to Winnie's drawing of YB:

...wow. That was a whole lot of.....UGLY. ROFL. XDD

Lisa and I drew on MSN the other day also...She's blue, I'm purple. But when the drawings start look nicer it's (flareia ) Lisa's. lol

But I should have known it said "Pretty" xD WTF is wrong with me..lol

Since I can't draw for shit on MSN, Lisa drew me better. lol

Time for some awesome TAE7EN drawings from Lisa:

Taebin pulling Se7en in a bathtub

:D

I told her Taebin should have abs. D:

LOVELOVELOVE *O*

I love Lisa's drawings. So much for ugly msn drawings. Hers PWN. XD
TAE7EN LIVES ON. D8</lj>

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 10:01:46 GMT

2009, please take care of me. *O* ..but moreso my family, and my friends and my f-list who are my friends (lol) and my loved ones...who are under catagory of family and friends but also include faraway fandom loves. D:

Oh, so I realized I'm a big jerkface. D: I meant to say HAPPY NEW YEAR right after the turning of the new year but failed to do so. I still wish you all a happy 2009 though! *O*

I still have to do my 'reflecting 2008' post but I have this weird urge to share with you the last thing that stood out to me in 2008 - which is possibly the most FAIL picture of GD in 2008..or EVER.

If you are a GD fan, please do not look under this cut - because I will not be held responsible for killing your "fangirl boners". XD If (I look at this and am like 'Who the hell are you and why have you high-jacked GD's body?!) THIS is already bad to you - ho ho ho...this is worse....GD WHY WERE YOU SO FREAKING CREEPER-STATUS ON KBS?! D8

I know, I'm sorry I'm such a random LJ friend, guys. T_T" I should have a warning that my LJ includes cussing and..bad...bad...stuff. I understand if you guys would like to f-cut me. Being bored in the wee hours of the morning leads to crazy rants. I promise you, I'm not an Anti! DX

Here I present to you GD's very chic - Hobo Masturbater look. D8 I'm sorry, but the first time I saw this..THAT was the impression I got...at like..what 4 in the morning?! @_@" First it was the WTF cabbage patch kid failed crimped hair and then as I look down..I discovered that this WHOLE picture looked SO WRONG in every possible way! DX Whatever, I'm not dirty minded! >=O This picture is so moded, I don't even need to make commentary because it speaks for itself..but then I just feel like pointing out the obvious, okies?!

His hair makes him look like he just got shocked from touching an electrical outlet and then his facial expression is just plain GOLD with where his hands and his 'mic' are being held. I cracked up so much because all I could think of is that he looks like one of those CRAZY PERVERTED HOBOS.

Can't you see it?! He just looks like he'd be one of those CRAZY BUMS JACKING OFF IN THE CORNER OF THE BUS. LMFAO. in this case..ON STAGE. T_T Justine so hit the nail on that description because I laughed until I teared up. I had to try and hide my laughing though because my brothers were sleeping so I sounded like one of those villains in black + white cartoons with a wheezing laugh. D:
Anyways GD, just looks like one of those people you definitely avoid standing next to. DX But since this is GD, if you do not look above or below his face, you'll find that cuteness you're looking for in this picture. LOL.

Fin. o-o

ps: I think this is now one of my favorite funniest GD pictures in existence! =P

Goodbye 2008.

Saving spot for the past, but definitely looking forward to the future.

T.yama ♥ G-Dragon Care Package 1

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 06:15:02 GMT

The first of many more random posts dedicated to one of my favorite V.I.P.tiffonemo . :)
Other f-listers feel free to check this out also..especially if you're GD-centric. =P
Tiff, I hope you will find this entertaining. LOL.

Word: care package
Function: noun
Etymology: from CARE package, a charity parcel sent to needy Europeans after World War II
Date: 1962
: a package of useful or pleasurable items that is sent or given as a gift to another (as a college student)

So I've noticed that my f-list has had a sudden influx of DBSKness. LOL. It's all good though, since it's not something I'm totally oblivious about anymore thanks to k_ai_remixed and my_docomo ..lol. Anyways, my friend tiffonemo seems to have taken a trip into DBSK Land as well, enjoying the chocolate abs of the ever-beautiful, Jaejoong and dolphin noises of Junsu. (Hey! I enjoy his ability to speak with dolphins! lol) and so I've decided to send her GD care packages in the form of posts dedicated to ~~shoving G-Dragon in her face to~~ remind her that G-Dragon is always here for her and that he misses her!!! LOL. HI TIFF! THIS IS FOR YOU. XD *waves* I will upload select pictures and fancams/videos of my choice (and maybe other things when I'm not lazy) to bring the joy of GD into your life - if you are not doing so yourself..it's okay I will help you..lol. XP No, I iz not forcing her to love GD, because I know she already does and he is her favorite member of Big Bang, I'm just being silly and bored and came up with this 'care package' idea for ...fun. xP She never needed someone to show her GD stuff for her to like him before so I'm guessing..the sight of GD will still be some-what enjoyable? Hehe. And, besides, G-Dragon TOTALLY requested that I do this for YOU...lol. Mmhm. Mmhm. XD Yup, he was all like talking about you in this one song..I forgot what it was called, like Sun...Sun Glow? Sunset Fire? Sunset Glow? I can't recall the name. =P But it went like, "Geuraedo eotteokhae ajik nae sarang yuhyohande, Doraolkkeorago mitneunde nan neoman gidarineunde. Nan neoreul saranghae, I LOVE YOU GIRL. I sesangeun neo ppuniya"

What can I do, my love is still valid
I believe that you will come back, I wait for you only
I love you, I love you girl
You are the only one in this world

This first batch are two folders of GD pics from the Cyworld awards from Dec. 9th and then fancams from Big Bang's performance at Club NB on Christmas Day. Let me tell ya - GD IS DAMN HOT HERE. TRUST. Damn him. He doesn't even really do anything special in these but he is radiating some sexy vibes. Watch the 'Haru Haru/Lie' one especially because he doesn't have a jacket on and is working a white collared shirt like no other. lol *O*

Tiffany, tell me if you'd rather have me upload on a streaming site or if you just want to download them like this..or BOTH? SURE! LOL. You can unzip compressed files right? And you can play FLV? If you can't, tell me and I'll convert them to AVI. XD

LOL. I hope you watch/download these. XD ILU. <3 And if you're not busy, I'd like to see your feedback on them..if not in a comment to me, then in your journal entries..haha. NO PRESSURE THOUGH! You don't have to..lol..but just think of this as a MEME, but a TIFFY MEME. 8D

Ohh there is one more part of the care package..it's tomorrow night - the SBS Gayo show with the Special Stage with BBSK. XDDD You have no choice but to see GD with JJ and Changmin..MWUAHAHA. ♥

♥ jerilyn

ps: I don't exactly know when or how many I'll be doing of these for the future. It will hit you like a Guerrilla concert. lol Enjoy~
