everyone is a wonder girl.

I noticed I've barely been posting once a month. |: But I'm trying super hard in school to do really well this year. So far, I have nothing lower than an A! ;D
But yeah, Kind of not really so much a random post -- just some updates here and there.
Today was the last day that the annual fair was in town for. I was supposed to go with my friends last Saturday, but alas, I had to work & miss it. I thought I was going to go today with them, but we never made any official plans. |: I had such a "craving" to go to it too. ;^;
On a more exciting note, three days ago, I went to bed at around 10:30PM. (Yes, I do realize that is extremely early, espeicially on the weekend, but I was tired! xD) I know, so exciting right? But wait, there's more. At around 10:45PM, my friend, Christine calls me up. Being the lazy (and talking-on-the-phone hating) person I am, I screen the call. A little bit later, she calls my sister's cell phone. I remember, my reaction was like, (￣ー￣), but I knew something was up for her to call my sister. So I call her back and I'm like, "Hey, you called?" She responds with something along the lines of, "Yeah, hey! I'm in line to meet the Wonder Girls right now!" (Note: WG were in MA for a little for the Mohegan Sun Show. Probably to open up for the Jonas Brothers, I'm assuming. Yes, my friends are obsessed with the JoBros, but don't judge! You're most likely a fangirl as well who loves a boyband, just like them. xD) Anyways, I'm like, "No way, that's awesome!" She goes, "Yeah, I'm about five minutes away from meeting and taking a picture and getting an autograph from them! I knew you were a fan of them so I'm gonna get you an autograph and get to try and let you talk to them on the phone." At this point I was so blown away that she was going to try to get them to talk to me. Even if it didn't work out, it's extremely nice of her to think of me at that moment. Especially when we haven't been as close as we were a few years ago. Anyways, she tells me she'll call me back when she's meeting them, and we end the call. A little more than five minutes later, she calls, and my heart starts pumping faster. Now, I'm not their biggest fan, but still, it's exciting when you (might get to) talk to a celebrity, right? xD So I answer, and she's like, "Okay, I'm about to meet them. Hold on." (except add a million more hold on's, haha!) Then I hear in the background, "One of our friends is on the phone right now. Her name is Kathy." Then they (Christine & her other friend) either said I was from Korea or I listened to music from the Korea. I couldn't hear, but I think it was the first one. o____o They know my ethnicity though, so it was probably so they could get their attention, haha. Then they ask if she (one of the WG) could talk to me.
Yoobin: Hello? Kathy?
Me: -awkward pause- Yes, hiiii~
Yoobin: Hi! Nice to meet you!
Me: Ah, yes, nice to meet you too! This is so cool, haha!
-insert some small words and awkward pauses I don't remember-
Yoobin: Do you speak Korean?
Me: Only some words. xD; (note: I wish I did. I feel like it would have been cooler, haha!)
Yoobin: Ah, I see~
-awkward pause- (note: I could tell that I would have to wrap this up soon, so I spilled out what I could think of at the top of my head that I wouldn't regret later.)
Me: I just wanted to let you know that you have a lot of fans in America who really support you and love you!
My sister: (Note: I called her in to listen to the convo. xD) We wish you the best of luck!
Yoobin: Awh, thank you! It was so cool to talk to you guys!
Me: Thank you, it was really cool talking to you too!
-insert more awkward pauses and words- /end call.
My friend calls back later and asks me how it was. I started to say awkward, but ended up saying awesome instead. And I thanked her a million times, and she told me she got an autograph for me/Alice. And I thanked her a million more times, and we end the call. I ask my sister, who in the Wonder Girls did we talk to? o____o She responds with, "Sunye." I'm like, "Really? I thought it was Yoobin for some reason." She's like, "Nooooo~ Yoobin has a lower voice!"
For a day, I thought I talked to Sunye of WG until proof was shown the day after and I'm tagged in the following picture on facebook:
In the back, you can see Yoobin holding a phone in her ear. That's where they tagged me. ;D
And that's pretty much the end of my story. In case people want to know, Yoobin has almost no accent. It's only apparent with the 'th' sounds. (She said my name like Kat-di, except the d in 'di' was a soft d. xD) And she understood my English pretty fast, so I'd have to say she's pretty fluent in English now. (: If you ever watched this video
here, you'd think she (or Sohee, meh) had the biggest accent compared to the other members. But they've all really improved I'm guessing since Yoobin was so flawless in her English! And she sounds a lot different in real life, or maybe it's the phone, but her voice was a lot higher! xD
Anyways, I made a twitter ages ago. And never tweeted until now. I made my first post, but then made a reply to Yoobin. She probably won't reply back, considering how busy she is. I've seen some of the members make replies to other people though, so maybe there's a chance if she remembers me! :3
I wish I was a huge fanatic of WG though. I feel like this whole thing could have been more meaningful to me. xD
Long post is long.
And I absolutely love dusk in the summertime, with those yellowish gold rays of sunlight that spill across the grass. It's so pretty~ It reminds me of summer. xD Random: There's a cornfield I pass when I drive up to my parents' store. When I buy my camera, maybe I'll do a spontaneous photoshoot someday. ;D
Ah, 12:53AM. It's time for me to start my homework now. :,) (Damn you APUSH!)
