with Meredith (My BFF!!)

[elitejean]

Meredith and I always go out after Christmas. Somehow, it's like a tradition XD Last holiday we wanted to go somewhere again. In the end, we just stayed in LA. Still it was very fun^^ We went to just the usual places. We talked and laughed so much too!! I'm glad that even though we live so far from each other...we don't have some sort of gap^^


So, I'm sharing some pics again!!
Taken last December 26 & 27 of the year 2009.






After about a year of not seeing each other.
We finally met around noon on the 26th XD
We we're both hungry so we figured we have to eat lunch first.
Since she lives near Korea Town we decided to have lunch there.
We just walked around and ate at a random place that appealed to us.
I can't remember the restaurants name.
I really love the half-cooked egg...I kinda want to eat some right now XD

After lunch we took the train to go to China Town.
We went there to eat meat buns XD
We figured that if we're eating meat buns...it has to be from China Town^^





pictures of the waiting area. i had to take a pic because i swear i kinda remember sho-chan & jun-kun sitting on seats like these when they were younger XD my bff was laughing at me the entire time when i said that maybe sho-chan and jun-kun sat on the ones we we're sitting on XD she's an arashi fangirl too btw and her ichiban is neenernator!!







platform pics^^
we were getting ready to board the train!!
i took a kinda-stolen pic of meredith & i.
i failed XD






Some China Town pics. I kinda forgot to take some because we had so much fun talking. The entire time we were on the train we listened to 2NE1!! A really funny incident happened to us but I can't share it because it's a secret between her and I. In the end we didn't get any meat buns...since it was still kinda early we decided to go to Little Tokyo and have dinner there^^





When we got to Little Tokyo we dropped by the Sakura Mall first because I wanted to get some cream-puffs and she wanted to check out one of the stores there that sell lots of cute stuff!! We ate some and I got so much of the powder on my blue coat. She said I eat like a kid XD




For dinner we tried out Suehiro Cafe. I had some beef terriyaki and pork katsu^^ We also had a scoop of rocky road ice cream for dessert. A lot of youngsters hang-out there. My bff and I sat on the counter and ate while chatting and watching funny arashi clips on my phone. We almost died cracking up when we watched an old episode old D no Arashi when they played Aiba's board game and Ohno had to sniff a really stinky shoe and he had a stocking on his head.

While we were enjoying our meal my phone suddenly went off and played "poririzumu" by perfume...really loudly XD the other people eating turned around to stare at me as I tried to make the darn thing stop. My bff was cracking up the entire time.











Some stuff we ate there.
Whenever I go there I always have to get some^^

Moving on, we met again on the 27th. We didn't have much time cause she's heading to Norwalk around 5pm I think. We decided to meat up for lunch. Originally we wanted to go to the Beverly Center and shop but we ended up at "The Grove" I forgot to mention that she bought matching "mono-kuro-boo" shirts for us^^ We wore them that day XD














We decided to go to Gap and get scarves but they didn't have any XD They were having a sale at Victoria's Secret so we headed there and got undies XD She pointed out to me that one of the girls working there went to our HS too. She noticed because that person was staring at us or something. So I just told me bff...that's nice but I don't recognize her at all XD We spent a lot of time at Barnes & Nobles reading manga!!



We headed to the Farmer's Market too^^
We ended up buying lots of nuts from there XD





There was an old style gas station there.
I thought it was kinda awesome so I took pics^^




What we had for lunch. Lately I've been eating lots of pasta. I make some alfredo pasta in the morning and put bacon, sausages and hot chips on it XD The entire 2009 we were only able to see each other a day and a half XD Still it was good...it was really good^^ It's definitely much more laid back than what we used to do before...I told her that it must be because were getting older XD Anyway, she's back to college and I'm off to work. Most likely we won't meet again til late December XD I forgot to take pics of our presents and the stuff we bought.....oh well...



It's my new work phone!! My boss gave it to me for Christmas!!
My old one was an LG or was it Samsung...flip phone^^
My boss pays for it so I only use it to call.
I call so much people in a day though XD




Oh, and because someone asked me to share a pic of how my personal phone looks I'm sharing this pic. Is it surprising that I make phone wallies and yet my wallpaper is of roses?? Well, I switch wallies all the time XD I have quite a lot of charms on it. The charms are heavier than my phone. I always carry 2 phones with me. My personal one and my work one^^





I couldn't decide between the 2 images above so I ended up with the gif below XD It's for my partner in crime...  chiishi  Chii-chan of LJ & DA^^ This is so late already but anyway, I hope that you had a lovely time!! May all your wishes *including molesting a very naked Sho-kun tied to your bed posts* come true!! happy happy birthday to you...may the SHO be with you!!



Oh, and here's a wallpaper for my Chii-chan.
It's crappy XD very crappy but the text is awesome^^



Anyway, I'll share new graphics again by next week.
I have TomaPi and DaraGon.
Oh, and some other things...
I'm off to make pancakes^^
Happy weekend guys *hugs*

I love going through your pic entries. The food made me hungry (and I just ate lol)

I totally forgot to say this to you. MERRY LATE AIBA DAY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! >_

[elitejean.livejournal.com]

ah, i'm late in replying back as well^^
my inbox always scares the hell out of me XD
i'm trying to stop taking food pics but every now and then i fail...
it's been raining like crazy here in LA...how about your side?

[animesempaigirl.livejournal.com]

Lol it's okay. But I wish I had a camera cause I would take pictures of EVERYTHING as well XP
It has been wet cloudy and wet in Texas but the sun peeks out once in a while.

[elitejean.livejournal.com]

here it's raining like hell!!
well, i already told you that but still XD
do you have a lot of fangirl/fanboy friends there?

[animesempaigirl.livejournal.com]

Naw, my best friend who got me into arashi is sucked into the world of korean pop. All my fangirl fanboy friends are from LJ lol
The only reason why I love the rain is because of the cute umbrellas you find and can use. >_< I have too many lol

[peniko.livejournal.com]

lol neenernator xD

*_____* korea town, china town, japan town (or mall) is LA that rich of culture? xDD it's so fun xDD

agree with animesempai -______- i stop in the middle of your post just to look at the foods.

[elitejean.livejournal.com]

yup. i call him "neenernator" or "neenermiya" the US is very rich in culture because there are lots of people from all over the world that are here :] i post lots of food pics...i'm trying to stop taking pics of food specially when i'm out but sometimes i forget...

[whifling.livejournal.com]

The usual places!? It looks like a holiday? :o

I really like the filters on the pics. Gives a nice feel and links them all together.

[elitejean.livejournal.com]

ah, the place where i work is really close to those places :] since we weren't able to go somewhere far we just decided to hang-out somewhere nearby. so that's what you call them...i just put layers and put different colors and change them to soft light, exclusion, etc... XD

[rudveesa.livejournal.com]

Wow, you have lots of places to go in LA :D Here... NOTHING xDDD Though I'm not much of a shopper, so I don't really mind. Exept that just now I do mind 'cause I have to find heels that I can dance in, wanhojen tanssit, I guess I can call it the senior pram, is getting closer and I don't have heels! :o I do have the dress, though. (if you're intrested to know more I suggest you go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanhojen_tanssit)

The food looks delicious as always, even though I just ate (chicken!) and I'm full! :D

Oh, I have to ask, have you heard of this: http://pamujung.livejournal.com/45613.html You must read it and tell all your friends if they don't know about it!

[elitejean.livejournal.com]

uwaah!! this reply is so late^^ i did not go to my prom :] that event seems so cool!! i'm sure you will look very beautiful in your dress *sparkles* hmm, you can try looking online. for things i can't normally find here, i rely on the web XD when exactly is your "wanhojen tanssit" ???

[rudveesa.livejournal.com]

I'm late too! I have exam week right now so I have been doing a lot of schoolwork lately... D:
Haha, I found my high heels *happy* It was a lot of trobule, though xDD But I like them a lot!
Yes, the dancing is fine, but I'm not so good in it, I always miss my steps xD Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that my dance partner is 30 cm's longer than me? 8DD Maybe so. His steps are much longer than mine XD
I'll put a picture of myself after I have the make up and hair done :D
This year "wanhojen tanssit" is held 18th this month (February xD) in the evening. And the next day we perform to our school :D Wich is far more frightning that dancing for our parents xDD

[elitejean.livejournal.com]

still sounds pretty awesome to me^^ it's already the 28th here^^ can't wait to see your pics!! i'm sure you looked very radiant and beautiful :] your partner sounds pretty tall XD my grandma told me that quite some time ago when she was still a teen some americans came to their town when they were having a celebration of some sort and a dashing american army man wanted him to dance with her but she refused him because he was soo much taller than her and she was worried that she won't be able to keep up...the army man ended up sitting next to my grandma the entire night and trying to talk to her even though she only knew a little english that time...

[rudveesa.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I'm answering so late, school keps me busy and I spent the entire winter holiday without a computer (a whole week, my gosh) :o

I wonder when I can make myself to put the pictures of me in a dress here xD Actually I don't have that good picture of myself alone, I always have someone with me in the pictures :D I was too lazy before, but maybe I'll have time to put them here at some point :D

Where does you grandma come from? Maybe the dance would have gone well, it went well for me and my partner :D

[coolnat466.livejournal.com]

when it comes to neenernator, my mom says he shouldn't worry about money so much because she is sure that he has plenty of it XD about ohno-man, my mom wishes that he realizes that he's an idol and that he should keep fishing in moderation!!

[kaiser-storm.livejournal.com]
