Bahçeli müstakil bir evde yaşayan ailenin uzaylılara olan merakıyla başlıyor. İki kız çocukları olan bu ailenin kızlarından biri, el dokuması halı yaparken; diğer kızı fotoğraf çekmekle ilgileniyor. Yaşları 15 civarı olan bu çocukların anneleri ise uzaylılara çok meraklı. Çevresindeki kimse uzaylılarla ilgilenmiyor; fakat kadın onlar hakkında bilgiler topluyor. Bir şekilde uzaylıların ilgi alanlarının neler olduğunu buluyor. Toprağı, ekip biçmeyi sevdiklerini öğrenen kadın yan villa komşusundan şüphelenmeye başlıyor. Çünkü yan komşusu gizli gizli bunların bahçesine girip saksı ekiyor. Bu bilgi doğrultusunda komşusundan şüphelenen kadın onun bir uzaylı olduğunu ispatlamak istiyor. Bunun için çalışmalar yapsa bile bir kanıt bulamıyor ama şüphelerinde haklı çünkü komşusu bir uzaylı. Fakat bilinmeyen bir gerçek var ki o da; iki kızının kendilerince annelerinin uzaylı olduğunu kanıtlamaları. Fotoğraf çekmekle ilgilenen kız, annesinin uzaylı olduğunu kanıtlayan fotoğralar çektiğini ve annesinin uzaylı olduğunu söylese bile buna ne annesi ne babası inanıyor. Kadın kendisinin uzaylı olamayacağını, olsa bile bu zamana kadar hem kendisinin hem de eşinin bu durumu anlamış olacaklarını söylüyor.
Günler böyle geçerken, bir gün yine fotoğraf çeken kız alt katta odasında yatıp pencereden dışarıyı izlerken, annesini pencerenin önünde arkası dönük bir şekilde bahçeye bakarken görüyor. O sırada hafif bir meltem esiyor… Perde ile birlikte kadının saçı da havalanıyor ve ensesi gözüküyor. Kız annesinin ensesinde, küçük bir pervane görüyor. İlk başta buna anlam veremese de dikkatle bakınca pervanenin içinden geçen ruhlar görüyor. Kadın ancak bu ruhlar sayesinde hayatta kalabiliyormuş. Kızı bu durumun fotoğrafını çekmeye çalışırken camın önündeki annesi öyle bir hışımla arkasını dönüp kızına nefret ve korkutucu bir bakış atıyor ki… Annesinin bu bakışıyla şaşkına dönen kız korkup kalıyor. Sanki karşısındaki annesi değil bir başkası. Kız, annesinin kendisinin uzaylı olmadığını bilmediğini düşünürken; bu bakış sayesinde bildiğini ve kimselere belli etmediğini hatta yan komşularından da şüphelenmesinin nedeninin kendisini gizlemek olduğunu anlıyor. Kadın bu korkutucu bakışının ardından kızının tekrar fotoğraf çekmeye çalışmayacağını düşünüp arkasını dönüp arabaya doğru yürüyor. Fakat kız tekrardan fotoğraf çekemeye çalışsa da başarılı olamıyor.
this post is for myself. the purpose of it is to serve as a constant reminder for me that i actually saw Big Bang and that it was real for me. don't bother clicking if you're not in for reading something pretty long. i hope all the VIPs had as much fun as i did. tell me not, Big Bang rocked the night, right?! ♥
The Journey
I had class from 9am to 11am and thank goodness i only have one class on fridays. i'm currently a freshman in college and i knew about this concert like five months prior. i specifically made my schedule so that i end early on Fridays so I could see BigBang. anyway, getting back on point, class went by rather quickly. after my chem lecture, i jetted home to drop off my stuff, shower, pack and google how to get to Newark. i planned on getting to Prudential Center before my sister because she had work until 5. anyway, i left home around 2ish. during the train ride to Penn Station, i had my ipod on max volume and my BigBang playlist on repeat. thank goodness i had my shades on because i couldn't stop crying from happiness the whole train ride to Penn. people on the train didn't really notice except the guy sitting next to me. he was reading the Metro and kept looking over to me because he heard me sniffing. he asked if i was okay and gave me a pat on my shoulder. i nodded and smiled. Finally arriving at PennStation, mad people, i had to run my way to the ticketing booth and purchased my train tickets. the ticketing guy told me the next train leaves at 2:50 on track ten. i thanked him and i don't know why i kept bowing while thanking him too. LOL. i then rushed over too track 10. maaaad people again. i swear, NJTransit may be worse than the regular MTA during rush hour. i stood near a door because i knew it was gonna be a short ride. legit like twenty minutes. crossing over the ocean//river was pretty scary though. i prefer underground railroads. anyway, i got off and saw a bunch of other VIPs and just followed them to Prudential Center. finally, at 3:34pm to be exact, EVELYN NG HAS ARRIVED. so proud of myself too because i didn't get lost. :')
The Wait
So, the first thing i saw when i got there, was the flash mob. they had matching t-shirts, it was pretty cute. i love love love love the diversity of BigBang fans. like, VIPs are seriously the best. they're all so friendly and dedicated. anyway, of course behind the whole flash mob, i see the endless line. legit wrapped around the whole Prudential Center. took me a whole like ten minutes to walk to the back of the line. when i finally got there, i asked the fans in front of me what this line was for, because i know there's "VIP" and "GA". no one really knew, LOL. but most of the people i asked, they were "VIP" and i felt kinda relieved because not that many "GA" showed up yet. next thing i know, a whole entire block of fans formed up behind me. and felt even more relieved because so many people were behind me. :') so while i was waiting on the line, i made friends with the girl behind me and in front of me. their names were Victoria and Marissa! one came all the way from Ohio i think, and the other from Florida. that shit craaay. and the girl standing behind Victoria came all the way from Japan. even more craaaay omfg. we were just talking about who our bias was and our feelsz already getting here and stuff. they were both so friendly omg. i love VIPs. then the line started moving, and by then it was around four ish, and sound check starts at four thirty for the "VIPS". they're so lucky omg, i envy all of them. i was happy the line was moving! then an official ticketing usher person came around and was checking tickets. so the ridiculous line was for "VIPS" after all and he told me i could go into the building through my section entrance first to purchase merchandise. i jetted. LOL, i didn't even have time to say thank you to the guy i just bowed and ran. so i bought two glow sticks and two shirts for my sister and i. i wanted to buy hoodies for us too but it was so much to carry. i should have brought a bigger bag. ): but yeah, reunited with Victoria and Marissa. they went HAM. Victoria gave me two key chain thingys (GD and TOP for my sister) because she's a Daesung bias. omg it was so nice of her. :') ♥♥. we went back outside to check out and spazz over our merch. then had good talks about other kpop groups and our other concert experiences. these two girlies were so awesome. heheh
The Wait (cont'd)
So while were talking and waiting outside, it got cold pretty fast. ): and more and more "GA" started showing up. i saw people of so many ages. legit old old couples, kids that were like five, parents escorting their kids, married men and women, young teenagers and like so many others. i felt like all the age groups reflected me. because i would attend any BigBang concert i can no matter who i'm with or how old i am. so yeah, around six thirty ish, they finally started letting people in. they checked bags and scanned us. Got in line again for the Samsung blue wristband thing and photos with the billboard thing. saw so many fans already holding around their fan signs. they were all really cute. the band that plays for BigBang was walking around the Samsung booth and they were so cool. i should have asked for a pictureeee. ): around seven thirty ish, i went to go find my seat. parted ways with Victoria and Marissa and hugged them goodbye. ): found my seat, when i got there, only one girl was in my row and i had the seat next to her. she looked like she was alone so i tried to be friendly but this girl was like mad serious and i felt like she didn't wanna talk to anyone, so whatever. my sister finally made it by seven forty. then more and more people started coming in and filling up the seats. it was so packed. holymoly. during the twenty minutes before the start of the show at 8pm, BigBang's videos were playing. every time GD's solo songs came on, the crowd cheered the most. yeeee baby. GD'sz mine though. then like ten minutes before eight, BigBang came out on the side and omfg that's when it got really loud. at that point i was on the verge of busting out into tears of happiness again.
I'm Still Alive
At eight, lights dimmed. the yellow sea came alive. omg it was so pretty and cute. i'm so happy to say i was part of it with my crown stick. but yeah it got really loud really quick. music started, everyone and i mean everyone stood up. the curtain dropped and there they were. BIGBANG♥♥♥♥♥♥. i couldn't breathe because i was crying and screaming at the same time. they came out of their plastic portal things and kicked off singing the intro of their ALIVE album, "I'm Still Alive". I felt like fainting cus GD had the first line. oh, and GD's my bias, i dont know if i mentioned it earlier. i still love them all though. but his voice, his hair, his face, his style, his existence, his everything omfg. i can not. i already knew at that moment that this is probably the best concert i'll ever be at. anyway back to the show, they looked so good in all white. omfg like angels. real angels on earth. Taeyang is just drop dead hot. he had so much energy. TOP is the baddest rapper ever. his dancing is the most cutest thing ever. i love his facial expressions. it gave me chills and my heart melted. Seungri's english made my night. he interacted so much with the crowd. Daesung's voice was heavenly. in my opinion he sings pretty high and i loved hearing it so much live. they all sounded amazing live. shit. no. more than amazing. i don't even have the words to describe it right now. it was beautiful.
i'm gonna just list the songs i remember them performing and make comments along the way. i'm afraid if i describe every song in detail imma breakdown. i sang as if korean was my first language. holy shit. it's actually really hard to cry and scream//sing at the same time if you know what i mean. (not exactly the order they performed but yeah) :

Closing
i seriously don't know how else to describe them other than perfection after watching the show. they're all so talented and inspiring. i forgot who said it but i think it was Seungri? he was like "dreams really do come true" and i was nodding my head off and bawling my eyes out at the same time because my dream was always to see them live or meet them. i've waited so long for this and it actually happened. i have like no complaints. except maybe the four lucky bitches who got their jackets. omg ): so jealous. but yeah, definitely an incredible and unforgettable experience. i can not wait for more future YGEnt. concerts. or better yet, the next Big Bang concert. never have i ever cried consecutive three hours during a concert. tears of happiness of course. if i could ever have the chance to relive this day, i'd do anything. uhg, my life is just complete now. i'm a VIP forever. BIGBANG forever! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
