'Okay. I don't even know who reads this still, but I guess I'll keep writing?
Plus I like reliving summer memories... <3
So we're in the hotel room in Cleveland, OH.
It's really late in the night/morning. I go to sleep. I wake up a few hours later... D: haha.
I was really nervous. I needed to get to the hotel where the Wonder Girls and JB etc were at by noon. but Sarah, Kasey and Ashley were really tired and needed to sleep so I couldn't get a ride from them. I asked our friends who were also staying in the same hotel as us if maybe they could give me a ride, but they had already left. DD: What do I do?! The hotel I needed to get to was really close.. but it was still a few blocks away, plus, I'd never been to OH so it's not like I knew my way around....
I ended up googling the hotel and walking. I only wore pants and my Wonder Girls shirt.. no jacket. Plus, I had on sandals.
And guess what?
It was raining. And REALLY cold. D:
T________T
I was really scared and nervous as I was walking. I didn't want to be late so I had to walk fast in order to get there in time. My sandals were really slippery as I walked, so I kept slipping and I was afraid of twisting my ankle or something D:. I was getting really wet ugh. I kept walking... I had to ask this stranger where the hotel was because it was a confusing area. He was reallyy nice, and walked me to the hotel thing.
I saw the bus parked right out there and no one was in it yet. Phew!!
I sat there and waited for a bit, and slowly one by one WG crew and WG came out~
I sat and waited with Elise for a while!! Elise is awesome and she films stuff for JB, WG, HS, etc.
We were laughing because we both wore the same shirt (WG shirt) and like jeans so we were like 'this is our uniform for today!!', hahaha!
So they're like c'mon, and we get on the bus.
...
the tour bus.
...
:DDDD
the tour buses are sooo nice inside omg!
and they each have TWELVE (12) bunks! omg!
And WG bus driver was sooooooooo nice, I love him <33 :DD
Elise and I walked to he back lounge (hehehe) and sat there with Yenny, Sun, and Yoobin! (Sohee closed off the back lounge from the bunk area haha)
As soon as I got in the bus, the girls were like are you hungry?! (I was STARVING) But I said no. They told me the had korean food there if I wanted any! :O
They asked me if I ever had Korean ice cream.. I told them I hadn't, and they were like 'We have some here if you want some!!!' (OMG so nice! ;_;)
One of them handed me these Korean cookie/cracker things... yumyum! I ate one and saved the other one hehe
We had bonding time on that bus ride haha. I told Yoobin about how we're practically neighbors since I grew up right by San Jose :D.
And then they taught Elise and I some Korean! We learned Nanen Rosie imnida! and I forget what else we learned then hah.
The bus ride was really short, since we only rode it to progressive stadium :O.
We got to the stadium, and got introduced to these people (They were like in charge of the Indians (baseball team) and like marketing managers, etc.)
We walked through the 'backstage' areas of the field, and then made it up to like the middle section seats right in front of home base, where you could see out to the whole field/stadium and the huge marquees in the back. They had them set up to have the Wonder Girls logo and stuff :D :D
The girls had to film commercials because they were going to go back in September for one of the baseball games/food festival right there at Progress Field in Cleveland. I got to be there and watch them rehearse and film the whole thing.. it's so cool to be on the behind the scenes part of it all!
The lady who works for the team went and brought a bunch of Cleveland Indians jackets because it was soooooo cold!! I got to wear one and so did some staff people. WG put them on after their filming was done x3.
^Inside the stadium :3
Then they went off to meet some important people, but I stayed behind with Emma, the girls' make-up artist. She is SOOO sweet, I love her!!!! We were both like, 'why haven't we become friends sooner on this tour!??!' haha <33
When we went to meet back up with everyone... they were gone?
We went to meet everyone at the exit... they weren't there??
Thankfully, the field was literally RIGHT next to the venue. We went to the venue, but they wouldn't let me in since Hana still had my pass and I didn't have it yet... :O
Emma was a sweetheart and stayed outside and waited with me... omg!! She didn't have to do that but she was like 'Nooo, I don't want to leave you alone!!' :OO <33333
^Emma and I~
After a bit, David, Moon and Amanda came with the mics (they had left them at the field and then went back to go get them) so once they came, I got to go through security into the backstage venue thing since I was with them.
Backstage is really creepy, but it was so cool!!! I couldn't believe I was there, AHHH!
Once down there, I went to the Wonder Girls' dressing room with everyone and Hana gave me my pass! :D
I has in the dressing in a while.. yoobin was there I think. We were just like hanging out.
After a while, Hana and peeps ask if I was hungry and if I wanted to have dinner in catering... OMG!
I was starving.. plus... CATERINGG?!!?! IT'S ONLY BEEN MY DREAM SINCE BEFORE THE SHOW IN DALLAS, TX TO HAVE A BITE OF CATERING
I swore, I was going to have a bite of that food before summer no matter WHAT. I didn't care if I had to sneak back there, or get kicked out, etc, but I was gonna have some.
And here I was, on my last WT show (at the time, it was), about to go have dinner with WG in catering.... :OOOOO
We went in... and guess who was having dinner, too?? Bulldozer. omg.
All the people who work in catering are SOOOOO nice!! And it's funny, because you wouldn't think so, because they're very intimidating looking- tattoos, peircings, almost like biker/punk types... but they are the sweetest!! <3
It was still the lunch menu in catering. There were hamburgers, cheese burgers, veggie burgers, mac and cheese, baked beans, salads, french fries, uh... there was a lot more but it was like all american themed haha.
I got my food and sat with WG peeps... Sun, Hana, David, Moon, Amanda?, Yoobin, and I think Yenny.
The food was SOOOOOOOOOOOO good AHHHHHHHH. I will never ever get over it LOL.
While we were eating, Christa Black came in to eat, too :3
When we were eating, SunYe taught me some more Korean :D like... mwanaso pangawo? Something like that? haha :3 (The formal version was too hard for me at the time hahaha)
They had desserts, too... OMG! I couldn't help myself... chocolate cake!!!! fnedsjkn yum haha
after we ate, I asked Hana what I should do. She told me to just (leave backstage?) and go up and wait till later.... mmkay~
So I went up to the concourse. I walked around, and I ended up going out to the verizon bus. I was superr full and needed to walk it off LOL.
it was like empty in that area though? (like apple fries truck, verizon bus, etc) :O
I found Hannah! yayyy. Caught up with her for a bit, then we both went to meet up with Kasey and Sarah who were waiting for the JB M&G :D :D :D
So we meet up with them, and my friends Brittany and Kristen were there too!! I never thought I'd be able to meet them (since they live in Michigan) :O :DD
I was still spazzing out about catering though, ahaha. I was still sooo full!
I don't remember what happened next. I think I went inside to see if I could watch soundcheck?
I ran into Hannah's mom on the way, and she was talking to Mike, Jordin Sparks' drummer!! Hannah's mom introduced us, and I joined in their convo for a little bit.
Then I went inside~ I was sooo tired omg I wanted to nap haha.
I went and sat in some seats to see if I could watch soundcheck. I was like laying in the seat, like thiiis close to falling asleep haha. Then security came and told me I couldn't be there... T_T
So I went back to the concourse~ Ran into Bram!! Yay life ruiner~ <33
He was taking pictures of people, and took an AMAZING shot of me, hahaha!
Talked to him for a while, then I went back outside. WOW (the group) was just getting there. I ran into Paul... he needed to go to the bathroom SO bad hahaha! We tried to go to the box office (which was inside) to find one.. of course, there was none. We (me, ashley and paul) had to walk a little down the street to this one hotel so Paul could use the restroom hahaha.'
I'll write the rest tomorrow, for now, I need sleep! xD <3
