Okay (: so here it is! An UPDATE LOL! It's not going to be super detailed, sorry, my memory is fuzzy a bit (sorta, kinda..okay fine I admit it, I'm just lazy! I just got home from work about 20 minutes ago XD Had to work overtimee for an hour lols~ not that bad but yeah, darn those random customers that came in at like 9:15PM~ Rawr!)

Day One Summary; July 2nd
I planned to take the train on Day One with Keii Nii-San and his friend Nathan~ Since I originally was going to stay in a hotel with them~ however that changed due to my parents who are very overprotective xD and also because I actually didn't think I'd want to go all four days (I actually did! Rawr~ Atleast this year is the year where I went for the most days! :]) Keii picked me up around.. I think it was 10:00? XD And we went to his house~ (oh, he picked up Nathan before me haha~). We were waiting for our ride to the train station (Our friend YeRin) xD. She was like madd speeding on the way to the train station since she was busy in Rowland Heights and didn't think she'd make it back for us >_O; and the next train was at 12:35 or so, we were trying to make the 11:35 train I think xD haha.

Anyways, got on the train and went to Union Station xD We were then wondering whether we should try to take public transportation (buses~) or to take a taxi xD We ended up taking the taxi to the hotel (Westin Hotel~ It was like Westin..Bona...Bona..something? LOL XD Idk it sounded weird haha!). Kevin checked in and then found out that his booking wasn't moved to the Anime Expo block so they didn't have shuttle use ]: Sad face!~ We just walked down Figueroa(sp?~ Lol) until we hit the convention~ which took about 15 minutes. Then we went in a big circle around the West Hall trying to find the registration area xD That was a pain in the butt haha -0-;~ But got our badges and then walked around a bit xD. We split up afterward since Keii wanted to go to the Morning Musume panel and I was trying to find Hika Ummanie and Chloe Unni xD~ Haha. I was really excited to see them again! <3 I missed them so much~~ hehe!

To find them, I had to go to the Moi Dix Mois concert lol!~ There was this really nice guy who gave me the ticket, I think he was nice since I looked super di duper lost LOL~ But yeah :D I gave him a hug LOL and he was like..all..happy LOL -_- Hm, maybe I shouldn't hug these people anymore >_> *Flashback to Anime Expo 07 LOL~ Ah, the Oreskaband ticket guys!~) I found my seat (Since it was semi assigned by section and row)and I felt soo alone haha! I called Chloe I believe, or was it Ummanie..or was it Warren!? LOL xD I called one of them and they told me to look for a blue light! LOL XD I jumped up and RAN my little legs all the way over there just to wave at them for a bit (: we agreed to meet up near the Women's bathroom at the back wall after the concert since they were dead center and I dont think they wanted to move and lose those seats in any way~! xD

I went back to my seat and just kind of sighed haha~ There was still a few minutes before the concert started and then the guy who sat next to me started talking to me! He was really nice actually ahha~ we still talk now lol :D he's a good guy xD lol~ But yeah we talked about music and what not, then I found out he was a Biochemistry Major too! But, he's in UCLA and he's going on to his 4th year!~ Woww ahha. I'm SO going to ask him for help when I'm in my classes! XD Anyways, our conversation cut short and the concert started. As Chloe said, the concert was just so freakin' METAL~ (Also quoting Mr. Beautiful aka Alex aka Spaghetti and David xD). I had lots of fun and enjoyed the music~ Doing the whole cheer/chant thing was absolutely enjoyable also!~

After the concert, I met up with Linda and Chloe and walked around with them for a bit (: Then I met up with Keeter for a bit and talked to him haha xD I couldn't make it to the dealer's hall on this day because it was already late due to staying at the awesome concert xD I went to the hotel with Linda and Chloe and then they gave me a ride to the train station so I could catch the 7 o clock train back home xD~ Appa then picked me up and I was stuck at home, waiting until the next day with utter excitement!~

DAY TWO SUMMARY~ :D ; July 3rd
It was a nice friday day haha xD Today, I went with my boyfriend Juhnnie to Anime Expo instead of just going by myself~ We also took our friend Peter since he was moping around last night, complaining that his girlfriend was going and he wanted to go too-- just not with her family because...well he's awkward around them xD. Anyways, it didn't take long to get there, surprisingly-- about half an hour or so xD and we got there around 10:30 or so. Peter went off to find his girlfriend and I called Keii so we could meet up and get the preordered Morning Musume tickets for him and his friend (he put it on my account since Nathan was a bit last minute xD). Then, I called Ummanie to see what she was up to~ We ended up going outside of the convention, towards Ummanie's hotel and helping out David, the AWESOME Shin Musha Gundam, walk to the convention xD. He was "test driving" his outfit to see the kinks before the Masquerade (:. Juhnnie and I basically followed and helped them for a while until they went to the Gundam and Moi Dix Mois panels~ (Am I right? i think this is right LOL XD I'm not sure T_T oi!~)

Juhnnie and I began to walk around the dealer's hall for most of the afternoon. I ended up running into four of my school friends xD it was quite interesting!~ My friend Mike bought a sword when I saw him haha. I also ran into my friends Frances and Kristina (: haha. I mainly just walked around the dealers hall with Juhnnie, and I got VERY mad at him actually~! He wasn't trying to have a good time at all, and was sulking and even said aloud, "i'm bored..ugh..". It really ticked me off so much! I got very mad at him, went on a plushie spree and wouldn't let him help me hold anything LOL xD. He got very mad at me because I was giving him the silent treatment -0-; but he started it >w< lol~

Anyways, I got a call from Chloe saying that she had run into a girl who had worked at the Cure shop last year when we were getting autographs from Kuro (ex-Velbet member). She said that Kuro had come back this year, but wasn't dressed up or anything and was wandering around the convention xD. I asked the owner of the Jungle Cure shop, who, luckily, still remembered me and I asked him about Kuro~ He said that Kuro would be at the Jungle booth around 2PM while Auncia promotes their autograph session xD. My sour mood was gone instantly as I was so excited to see Kuro again <3 Oi, that man is so cute! haha~ When I saw him, I was so shy...but I was able to tap him on the shoulder and say hi xD I got a hug and we talked a bit...(It was so cute how he pulled out his pocket translator LOL~) but then went to wander around again~

Ummanie and Chloe then went up to the Dealer's Hall with David and saw Kuro also xD Since David was going to the Gundam booth to help promote (which was very close to the Jungle Shop) Chloe and Hika got to see Kuro again too haha xD. Kuro was so adorable~ I was helping David carry parts of his costume along with everyone else, and I had the helmet. When Kuro saw me again, he took the helmet and put it on! LOL <3 What a dork! x3 We chatted a bit more, (Oh gosh, I just loved when he pulled out his translator LOL -_- it was so cute.) and took some pictures together (:

Juhnnie and I also saw Auncia at the booth and talked to them a bit haha. Juhnnie gave two of the members hugs (I forgot their name, but one was Tatsuki~ xD) and while he was giving them hugs, he said "Oh yeah I'm not gay, no homo, no gay-o". I frowned in shame and embarassment D: But Tatsuki saw my expression and was like, "Do you want a hug too? (:" HAHA, so I got a hug too lols @__@ Pity hug!

A bit before this, or a bit after I believe xD David was taking pictures right in the middle of the hall haha! Two singers, YUIXMINO was their combined name ahha~ basically draped themselves over David and so many cameras were going off! But because of this, WE GOT KICKED OUT! OH, so lame! T__T; So we all went back to the hotel, after being stopped multiple times of people asking to take pictures @__@ Sadly though, David was also falling apart!~ Once we got back to the hotel, we were all quite hungry so we decided to go out to Little Tokyo to eat dinner~

We settled at a restaurant called OOMASA~ and ate our hearts out xD It was so funny though~ Ummanie basically made Juhnnie eat EVERYTHING although his stomach was so full! Haha xD It was really fun hanging out and eating together (: We also ended up buying a cake to have an early celebration for Ummanie and Chloe's birthdays~ I thought I would be my last day in LA, so the last day hanging out with them so I cherished the memory even more and had so much fun <3

We went back to the hotel and took pictures of the cake, and cut slices of it up for everyone to eat xD then we just caked everyone! We chased Warren into the bathroom and smotehred his face with cake LOL!~ I have to say, it was so much fun xD I got some frosting on myself as well >_O And I think everyone was too afraid to get Ummanie LOL xD Overall though, it was great and I'm always going to cherish this memory!~

Juhnnie and I kept on getting bothered by Peter though lol~ He kept texting, along with his girlfriend, saying that they were bored or what not, and somehow we ended up having to take Cynthia (Peter's Girlfriend) and her little sister home also...that was odd. Anyways, after the cake fest and what not, we talked a bit more and then left *sad face*! We met up with Peter, Cynthia and her little sister and then went on our way home~ xD

When I got home and I was about to shower, I got a random call from Hika Ummanie! She was calling me and telling me how Chloe wouldnt let her go to sleep lol! Those dorks xD <3 I was like omgshhh ahh I have to go to sleep thoughh ouu I was about to showerr! Hahha xD PLEASEE let Hika go to sleep Chloee xD and I remember Chloe saying, "I LOVE YOU EMI~ BUT NOT YOU LINDS~" XD Ohh I love those two haha <3 That basically concluded Day 2 though (:

DAY 3 SUMMARY ; July 4th
On Friday night, I was talking to my oppa Ben about Anime Expo and everything XD he got so excited that we decided to go again on day 3! I had a lot of fun with Ben ahaha, he was so easily amused by everything! He's such a cute dork ahaha. When we got to the Convention, we passed by professional cosplayers who dressed up as Transformers! It was so awesome XD We took a lot of pictures and then went to the Dealer's Hall, since I wanted to show Ben around (: haha. I met up with Ummanie and Chloe Unni again and walked around a bit with them xD

Then, I just walked around with Ben for a while and stopped by the Jungle Shop~ Ben was like, IN LOVE, with YUIXMINO xD. It was so cute haha, he was so shy though so we didn't really do anything~ I then met Tomo and got a hug from him and also planned to go to his autograph session later XD. After that, I met up with Davey, the guy who I met at the Moi Dix Mois concert, and we walked around more. I helped him find a present for his younger sister haha xD. I got a small tofu plushie for my restaurant while doing this haha~ during this time, Ummanie basically FORCED Ben to take a picture with YUIxMINO and get their autograph for Mr.Beautiful ahha xD Ben's face was flushed pink~ he was blushing hardcore! Lol xD

We then got Tomo's autograph and also saw Kuro! Kuro was videotaping for Tomo XD It was so cute haha. He looked so tired though~ So Ummanie said it would be a good idea if we got him, and YUIXMINO, some lemonade~ So we bought them lemonade and Kuro was happy xD YUIXMINO were very thankful and gave Ben a hug xD He blushed hardcore again ahha!~ Kuro and I tried to talk a bit, darn that language barrier, but then Satsuki was there also! Satsuki wondered who I was and Kuro said I was a friend who he met last year and that we also talked on Myspace xD Satsuki said hi to me and also patted me on the head haha >__<;~ Kuro and Satsuki really like to pat my head lol! xD But it's okay >_O;~ haha! HSatsuki invited us to go to his concert later that night, but we all couldnt ]: we were all sad though! (Satsuki made a sad face XD So did I! Haha I was like, I can't, I have to go home T__T; *tears trailing motion. Ummanie and Chloe were like "We have to go help otouto~ *shows picture of Gundam on camera* For masquerade~". Satsuki and Kuro were like "Ah so cool! Good luck~") Haha xD He said that he would most likely come back next year, with Kuro and they would be in a band together! Kuro was like, "Yes, I am..back..member >W< *head down*". Satsuki replied, "Oh no no! Best friend~ *laughs and puts arm around Kuro*". Hika Ummanie then put her arms around Chloe and Me and said, "We're best friends (:" We all then said Bye and got hugs and, well I got patted in the head again @__@ haha!

We headed back to the hotel to help David suit up for masquerade. Oh my gosh it was such a hassle! Things werent going right and we were so stressed out! T__T;; I was getting very worried and Ben was also! Warren was supposed to help but, psh omo he was no help ]: Thank god for Mr. Beautiful! He ran down to Vons I believe and bought a roll of duct tape to help David out~. Sadly, Ben and I had to leave at this time and we wished David luck at the masquerade and hoped that Chloe and Hika would get seats~

I later on got a text that said taht they messed up David's music and what not ]: so he only did a walk. What baloneyyy! It's rigged I tell you, rigged!~

I finished off my 4th of July with watching fireworks with my family~ yup.

JULY 6th, 2009 ; HANG OUT DAY
I wasn't able to make it back to LA for Day 4 of Anime Expo >W< But Ben, Juhnnie and I went down to LA on Monday to hang out with everyone before they headed back to North California~ rawr xD. We had lunch at a nice restaurant near the Jungle Cure Shop~ Chloe gave me a wonderful gift for my dorm <3 What a sweet heart omo~! It was a Gloomy Bear clock xD I can't wait to put it up when I move in hehe~ I really didn't want them to leave, but sadly they had to leave to make it back at a reasonable time >__<~ We all hugged and said goodbye to each other~ Aish, until next time! <3 rawr!~ Hopefully May for Hollywood Bowl 2010! :3

Ben, Juhnnie and I ended up going to K-Town afterwards and wandered around xD On the way back from LA, we went to Purikura together haha!~ It was really fun lol~ I think I have some pictures somewhere around my computer I think? If not I'll scan them in sometime haha xD. We then stopped by Tofu Kitchen (My workplace) To visit Peter and eat a bit~ Dropped Juhnnie back home, since Ben drove ~ and then dropped me off (:

That's basically the update! (: I'll stick a link of photos in soon xD If you have me on facebook though, I'm pretty sure you all have seen them already (: hehe! Chloe also has my album up on her site I believe. xD That is all~ Take care everyone <3

MAJOR UPDATE (:

Haha! I bet plenty of you have been waiting for me to update! (JK, probably like three people? Hika Ummanie, Chloe Unni and Emiliez xD) I'm going to do this in chronological order of most recent to least, so I'm sorry but Anime Expo is going to be the last thing on this huge update xD This update is a span of about, two weeks I guess? I've been putting this off for so longg @__@ Why? I've been going out a lot (you'll see) XD And I also got my wisdom teeth out -_-. I got two more out yesterday, but it's actually not that bad today (Where last week, by day 2 I was still in pain D:) There's not as much swelling this time atleast :D (You'll see later how bad it was -__-; haha)

As I said before, I got my last two wisdom teeth out yesterday around 2:30PM. Jack (pictured), my lovely big brother <3 I adore him omo xD He took me out for some In n Out around noon for my last solid meal~ Oh my it was delicious though ahaha, I'm going to miss solid food for the next day or so. Stupid wisdom teeth, why do we have them? I have to say, the surgery this time around was way worse than when I just got my left teeth out last week T_T; The bottom wisdom tooth was more impacted, and also it was BIGGER. They had to break it into 3 pieces to get it out @__@ oh that was horrible! I was in so much pain when I got home, I was basically curled into a ball and like, almost crying @__@ Now I'm better though. Painkillers + Ice Pack ftw!

Hm, whate else happened that was a big deal, Oh~ on Sunday I went to Garden Grove and got a new phone (: I love it to bits! <3 I got the LG KF350 aka the LG Ice Cream! My brother says that my phone is "SO ASIAN" haha. I need to decorate the front a bit still though, I'm not sure what to do though because of the LED Light! Anyone have any ideas? Haha (: Oh the cell phone charm is actually two put on one xD The Hello Kitty, Flower and "J" Initial is a "couple" charm kinda thing I have with my boyfriend xD He has the same one (: since our names both start with "J" (My Legal name is Julie, his is Juney xD Although he spells it Juhnnie xP~)

Saturday Night (*plays On A Saturday Night By Son Dambi, Jk jk haha~) I went out to eat dinner with some friends for their bday (: It was my friend Anh's bday and an early celebration for my friend Josie. I didn't get many pictures with/of them though..because it was a huge group of people, like 12? 14? I think? I ended up at the other half of the table, but it was okay because I sat near my friend Phuong who I haven't talked to in a while ahha. I had to leave around 8:30 since my curfew is 9 but before that all the guys had to go to the bathroom. I was joking and I was like "Oh I belong here! *Starts walking to boy's restroom* because I have the tendency to sit like a dude xD Hey it's not my fault it's comfortable! Oh and I was in jeans so ha!~ Hahaha. But yeah, when I started walking back out saying jk jk, Juhnnie pulled me in LOL~ And so that's the story of that picture there with the guys haha (:

Saturday Afternooon was Ben Time! It was Ben Oppa's last day basically in California! He left to Korea on Sunday night, I'm hoping he had a safe flight! He's going on a Korea Mission thingy with his church so yeah, but after he's going to go live with his aunt for a week or so and explore Korea. I wish him well! One month without Ben haha! So yeah, Juhnnie and I went to Puente Hills Mall with Ben and we had Beard Papas <3 Such yummy cream puffs! (: Ben is so camera shy though ]: Haha.
Juhnnie had chocolate fondant xD Sadly I dont think it was heated up enough, since i tried it and it wasn't that good haha. He was all sad because it didnt have enough powdered sugar either lol~ But it was still yummy (: I had an original vanilla custard filled cream puff :3 Ah, Beard Papas is amazing haha. I remember Juhnnie told me that he thought Beard Papas was a white thing xD so he was surprised that it was japanese lol~
Juhnnie ended up driving since Ben pulled an all nighter because he had church at 5:30AM and he sleeps around 2AM or so normally so he was like, okay I shouldn't just sleep. xD He was so tired he fell asleep in the car! Isn't he cute? lols xD Ben was so out of it that he just knocked out on the car while we were going to Montclair Plaza to buy him some earrings (Idk why, but Ben wanted earrings haha) and he also wanted to find a cap for Korea since it's very hot and humid there! (which is also why he cut his hair, blah I miss his long hair! haha)
Yeah, I had a lot of fun haha. As you can see Ben rotated LOL xD too bad I couldn't get clear pictures of his face ]: we WERE going to go to Purikura, but due to time restraint (I had to go to the dinner thingy at 6) we didn't go ]: We'll go to noraebang and purikura when Ben gets back ahha! x] I hope he's having fun and doing well in Korea right now OxO; I'm a bit worried though since he doesn't speak Korean but understands it xD haha >_< He was born in the US and he speaks English to his parents lol owo;.. yeahhh I hope he can get around and not get ripped off too much xD atleast he doesnt look American, I thought he was a Fob at first! xD

On Friday, the 17th, Juhnnie and I went to Ajisen Ramen in Rowland Heights to eat for our 2 Month Anniversary (: Juhnnie already ate before we went, because he wanted to save money >W< (He actually said, since we've been going out he's eaten in a lot of restaurants rather than fast food places because of me LOL >W< Am I an expensive girl? D: no not really T__T;; It's just because we do a lot of group dates xD so we all end out going to a restaurant to eat rather than sitting at a fast food place, because that's just not..date...setting LOL XD). I had the Premium Pork Ramen <3 Oh so delicious~ (Hika Ummanie! Chloe Unnie! I want to take you guys here when you come back to visit So.Cal ! xD) Something on the menu made me laugh though ahhaha.
HOW TO EAT RAMEN. Yes tehre is a "HOW TO" to eating RAMEN. I found it so amusing that while I read it was laughing haha. Juhnnie thought it was funny and weird too haha xD It surely was interesting xD I made ramen for Jack a couple of days ago and told him about this and he was like "Oh, 10 minutes? TIME ME!" Hahaha xD He's such a dork, and he looks so young huh? I can't believe my brother is almost 21 (his birthday is in October~)
But yeah (: hehe~ Juhnnie and I have matching dog tags (You can see mine, but I'm blocking his >W<). They're made of gunmetal and they say "J&J / 051709" on them. Well the "/" isn't in there, it's like "enter" you know? Lmfao, yeah I should just take a pciture of the dogtags soon LOL XD. I got them on Wednesday when I was hanging out with Jason. Yeahh, Jason Bestie and I went to Beard Papas on Wednesday too haha xD He ended up getting a cute card for his girlfriend, a bouquet of the sugar/star stick lollipops (I'm not sure waht they're called haha) and some of her favorite candy (the tamarind candy thingy. It's like "Pelo.." something haha but they're yummy!). Our anniversaries for our significant others are on the same day xD It's quite funny haha. On our one month (Juhnnie & My one month that is), we hung out with Jason and Yomeri (His, well wasn't his gf at the moment but soon to be gf) xD We split up after a bit (I went to Cue with the boyfrann and Jason had to head back because he had work that day) and he ended up going to the park with Yomeri and asked her out. So yea, the 17th is important to us four haha (: funny huh?

Monday was super fun! (: We had an early celebration for Cynthia's birthday (which was on the 15th, since she told us she was doing something that day, we did this ahead of time). We all gathered at Jason's house and had a big barbeque and swim party, along with some karaoke! Fun fun times (: Jason was basicaly the master griller dude haha. I forgot what we called him -_-; (Juhnnie just IMed me -0-; it was Grill Master. OKAY thanks hun, way to make me feel retarded! D:) But yeah ahah~ his pit thingy was pretty weird haha. it had this big spider web thingymobob and we covered it in foil and poked holes in it and what not so it would grill xD The kabobs took forever though! While Jason was grilling, the rest of us were basically chilling in the pool. Or, on the side of the pool in my case xD. Ben was swimming haha, he was having fun and trying to get rid of the tanktop/wifebeater tan that was on his shoulders (which explains the odd pose, I think he was trying to hide it xD) Doesn't ben look better with long hair though? haha, I wonder how much it will grow when he comes back xD The chlorine thingy came by and Juhnnie wanted to take a picture with it LOL xD what a dork. Maybe I should draw a face on it for him and it can be like his best friend :P Jk babe :]] ahhaa. I love you xD. Mainly Ben, Juhnnie and Jake (Jason's little brother) were swimming. Cynthia and I basically just dipped our feet into the side of the pool (: haha, woot our sunglasses rock xD haha. Yeahh, so after that we basically went in and set the table, brought out a cake (Sadly I forgot to take pictures of all of this T__T) but after eating and talking, we did some Karaoke (: hehe!! Nothing beats some good ol Backstreet Boys xD The guys got so into it! Sadly, Ben just wouldn't sing T_T or he did for liek, five seconds, VERY QUIETLY but other than that he wouldnt ;w; Wah that babo oppa. The guys seemed to be having a blast though ahah (: Cynthia and I mainly sung random songs like, Britney Spears stuff puaha xD It was really fun (: sadly, I had to leave early because my dad freakin' scheduled me to get my wisdom teeth out ):


About an hour or so after I got the left wisdom teeth out haha. Everyone was like "You look like an abused child" or "You look really sad D: it makes me sad too!" when they saw this picture haha. Juhnnie said "Omg, it looks like ... if anyone didn't know any better, it's like I beat you up or something D: I AM NOT ABUSIVEE. I DIDNT DO ANYTHING!" Haha, that dork <3 Gotta love him. But yeah, my left side (Right on the picture, because pictures are..mirrored, ish? right? lol) was numbed like crazy with novacaine, which explains my lip being all swollen/dead/droopy along with the entire left (right side of the picture) side being dead-- like my chin. I actually have a straight face in that picture, the novacaine made me look like i'm sad D: hahaa.

I dont think I did much the week after AX though xD So there's nothing to update there (: so now...onto the update about ANIME EXPO! Are you guys all excited for this? Huh? Huh? XD You are aren't you? XD LOL well...I'm going to go out with Jack in a few minutes xD LOL So I will be back tonight to update with AX goodness (:
