Saturday/ 03.21.09

So the day started out as usual: SAT class. I didnt get to study for vocabulary so before class started, I crammed through it. Today, Mr. Woojae subbed for us [english] and Mr. Eric subbed for math. The day was nice and cloudy. Afterward, Daddy picked us (JYand I) and headed to Glendale for Jenny's surprise lunch/dinner. Before we headed to Todai, JY and I decided to go buy a poster at Target to make a "BOA" sign before going to her concert after Todai. We rushed through the mall running back and fourth. After getting the posterboard, we were off to Todai. Got there, sat down, waited for the birthday girl, got food, drew our poster, and called up Ruben to pick us up. I have to say thank you so much to Ruben; he's gone through so much to pick us up. We walked around Glendale, crossed to Americana (dragged by JY into stores), and then went back to Glendale for Ruben to drive us to Universal City.

When we were about to get off the car, I asked if Ruben was coming along and he said he wasn't invited (by JY) and JY said she did invite him and he said no. So I asked him to come down and we'll wait for him. He said it was okay and left. That's what we thought he did; we thought he left but after the concert (around 7-8) we called him up and he said he was parking so we ran and ran to the car and it turned out after he dropped us off, he just looked for parking and took a nap there, waited for us to finish, and drive us home; I feel really bad :(

Ah, the concert


After being dropped off at Universal City, JY and I rushed to City Walk and there was a crowd. We stood there for ever (my legs were geting sore) and crowded between people. We waited and waited. As soon as she came out, everyone screamed and stuck their camera in the air. Sucks that the tall guys were in the front... so iwasn't tall enough. Kevin tapped my shoulder and was Eva too. He was holding an autographed poster so I thought he was one of the 125 people who got to shake her hand and get autographed. Turns out there's a stand and if you bought a CD, they hand you an autograph poster (that she signed probably a few hours before since she didnt sign it on the spot). I tiptoed and stuck my arm as high as I could with the camera (I couldnt even see the screen of the camera), hoping I'm getting her and not her backup dancers. She sung/performed "Eat You Up" and "I Did It For Love."

When she was finished, they announced for those with "green wristbands," she'll be waiting on stage so brought up people one by one. We stood there zooming our cameras as far as we can. Funny thing was, some people didnt know what that concert was or who BoA was. JY and I walked around with our (the only) bright yellow posters and people were staring at us, reading our posters going "Boa? Whos that?" And others were like, "What's going on? Is there a celebrity?"

While we were waiting for BoA to go on stage and sit to sign autograph, one of her back up dancers came out and everyone asked to take a picture with her (:D we got one). Another funny thing is people were videotaping and taking pictures of her and they probably thought she was
BoA (for those who dont know BoA or thought she was BoA since they looked alike).

At the end, after all those autograph signing, security gathered around her and ran into Game Stop (to make their way to the parking lot) and we all ran and followed to the back gate. Some crazy fangirl jumped between the fence and was headed toward BoA and BoA looked scared/surprised so the securities backed her up into the room and stood there, waiting for the fans to go away. We stood there for a while, I had my camera on record, and we just waited and waited but she didnt come out. After that, we called up Ruben and thats when we left.

And tomorrow, she's going to be at Forever21 in Pasadena. Since we have a friend that works there, I gave her my CD to let BoA sign "To Lily" XD

*keep in mind that I'm not so close; gotta love my super zoom camera <3
