Good morning everyone!
Today is October 1st! I'm alive.
She's alive. Sherry: I'm alive.
Yesterday was probably one of the best days ever~
Sherry: So beautiful~ Joan: I know and we had so much fun last night. I'm almost-
Like losing my voice, but I'm trying to keep it together.
I'm currently in front of Riley Rose, and we're gonna shop around and then have the meet and greet.
I'm super excited about that so let's go on inside.
Alana is here, and she is showing me my sign
Alana: Here it is~
And Sherry's like its life size.
Sherry: It is life size.
In the bathroom they have all these roses, and he's in charge of giving it to everybody.
Whoo
Shoutout to her she just gave me some pizza.
I know, I've been sharing it with everybody.
Sherry's buying stuff.
You did it! Hiya! So cute~
Oh my gosh, I saw them in Korea.
Wrapping up and Justin and Kevin, right?
They came, and look look look.
They're vlogging!
We're vlogging as well. She inspired us to vlog.
I know, I really love Rifle. So I've been picking up a lot of-
Cashier: Everyone loves that brand so much. Joan: I love it. The best cards, cutest stationery. Cashier: It is.
Alright, everyone I'm back from the meet and greet and it went super well.
I want to thank Riley Rose for hosting the meet and greet.
And for those of you guys who came, took the time out of your Sunday to come and meet me.
I really had an amazing time just greeting you guys and saying hello, taking photos.
It was a lot of fun and I wanted to thank those of you guys who brought me gifts.
I see a lot of snacks, cards, and all these thoughtful gifts.
So I wanted to open them up in front up the vlog because I wanted to give you a shout out.
I also picked up some things from Riley Rose, so I'm probably gonna do a mini haul of that.
But let's open the gifts first.
First, we have this drawing of me that I uploaded on Instagram.
I'm seriously so amazed by all of your guys' artistic, like, talent, because I can't draw anything.
But thank you. I can't wait to just like include this in my letter box.
I also received a card from J and K.
They popped up in my vlog earlier, but they were vlogging too.
I'll read this note probably on the ride back to Korea.
Next we have this letter from Janelle, and your writing is beautiful.
And I will again read the note when I'm on the airplane and there was also a box in here.
And this is from Janelle as well, and she said because every morning deserves to be a little more "Marvel-ous"
Oh my gosh, wait!
Oh man, this is- this is so cute Abe is definitely gonna want to take this from me.
But wow thank you so much for this "Marvel-ous" (marvelous) gift.
Two bags of hot cheetos.
We have Burt's Bees hydrating sheet masks- Oh my gosh
I didn't know that they have sheet masks, but I can't wait to try them because Burt's Bees chapstick is my favorite.
I haven't really tried too much of their skincare.
But I'm very excited about these. And there are some NYX products in here.
As well as a Brick Headz of Iron Man. Thank you so much. I don't know who got me this.
Oh, it's from Stephanie from San Diego. Thank you.
She actually came from San Diego for the meet and greet. I really appreciate
You making that drive to come see me. It was really great meeting you.
Earlier this week. I unboxed a subscription box of sheet masks and Tida
Actually came to the meet and greet to give me more sheet masks.
So thank you so much! It was lovely meeting you.
It's just amazing to meet those I email back and forth with.
And also for everyone and anyone who watches my videos and comment on them.
So yeah, thank you Tida~
We have this lovely shirt from Ashley, and it's of this cat right here, so thank you Ashley~
You have another letter which I will read later. So thank you Jasmine.
Doesn't say who this is from but let's open it up.
Ooh~
It says Joanday on it. I love notebooks. Thank you so much~
Ah~ Thank you so much!
And then there's a letter in here as well.
I think she said that there is something she drew. I think it is the lettering.
But thank you so much~ I really appreciate it.
Here's another drawing from Anita.
She actually tagged me on Instagram, and she said she wanted to give it to me in person.
So thank you! It was lovely meeting you.
This bag is from Ursula. Thank you for the lovely letter.
And she got me some snacks like Takis, Hot Cheetos~
We have- ooh! Eos Holiday Collection lip care. I feel like Abe's gonna take it because he loves chapsticks.
We have the peppermint cinnamon herbal tea. I love tea!
Especially ones that will calm me down.
And then we also have a Tarte Light! Lashes! I think this is a mascara (yes!)
Thank you so much for the gifts.
Here we have a bag from Cassidy. I love your writing~
She got me some bread, thank you!
I got another tumbler! So both my brother, and I will have the same one.
Oh my gosh. This is so cute. Thank you so much!
The final bag I believe is from... Oh my gosh!
She drew a picture of me, and oh this card is super adorable.
But it is from Ashley.
She got me some hot cheetos...
And Dove chocolate, so thank you so much.
This is actually my favorite brand of chocolates.
And she says she got it from me after watching my Target vlog, which went up this morning.
So thank you so much.
I also wanted to share the RIley Rose haul, but I think I'm gonna save this for when I'm back in Korea because
I'm running out of battery and I definitely need to charge it before I go and hang out with Lynette.
And, yeah, I feel like that was enough for, enough unboxing for today's vlog.
But now it's time to explore this side of LA so downtown as well as K-Town.
But first I'm going to have to organize all of these gifts into my suitcase.
If you were wondering where I am, I'm at Fei's hotel room.
She's currently at a picnic with Mina.
They'll both appear in my vlog later. But thank you Fei for letting me just leave my suitcase here because
The wedding venue is really close to Fei's hotel.
And I have to go to Glendale and then come back here because I'm meeting up with a friend.
So Fei, thank you so much for allowing me to do that.
Oh my gosh, it's been a hectic day, but I'm really enjoying my last few days here in LA.
The wedding was amazing, like I teared up so much.
And I feel like thinking about it kind of, I don't know I was just so happy to see everyone.
And see Christine and Richard get married.
And also meeting you guys today was amazing.
I really appreciate those of you guys who came out.
It was super encouraging for me.
And I hope to meet you guys all again someday.
Alright, I need to pack so I'll see you guys very soon.
I also have to charge this camera.
Look who it is! I saw her yesterday~ (Lynette: Hello!)
Joan: Lynette~ Lynette: Hi~
Okay, we're going to zinc cafe.
We're finally hanging out after- (Lynette: Yes, finally.) After how long? Lynette: Like 3 months.
Lynette/Joan: Yeah. Joan: Oops.
But we were both busy, right? Lynette: Yeah. Mainly you though.
Right~ Open!
Lynette: Hi~ Are you recording?
Why is the toast so hard?
Lynnette is searching for where she's gonna drop me off and she's gonna go home and eat home food
And then I'm gonna go get dinner.
Today has been a very hectic day, but it's slowly starting to calm down
Now that the meet and greet is over, and we just discussed the bridal
Stuff as well (Lynette: Yeah.) and it's officially over for her (Lynette: Yes.) Yeah (Lynette: It's been a long run.)
They folded so many napkins.
It's true though~ (Lynette: It is. It's so true). Yesterday...
They slept at 2:00 a.m., woke up at 6:00 a.m., and I was like wow that's gonna be me in March.
Lynette: Oh yeah, get ready, girl. Joan: Yeah, dude, it's okay.
It's okay. It'll be fun. Janice, Sharon, and I we danced so much last night, so we're like pretty ready.
Wait, the Lyft office is here. What the heck?
I didn't know Lyft was SoCal. That's pretty cool.
Lynette: Wait, I really thought they were SF. Joan: Yeah, I think that's Uber.
Getting kimchi jigae with Jenn~ (Jenn: Hi!) Oh my gosh, wait focus! Jenn!
Jenn: Hi! Part 2
Jenn: We're at [ ]. My favorite Korean spot for kimchi jigae. (Joan: Right.) We each got our own.
Yeah we did. Jenn: Serious about this.
Yes. Oh my gosh, it's been so long. Jenn: I know!
We just had dinner! Jenn: We did!
We talked for so long! Jenn: I know. It's like 9:00 p.m. now.
I know. Jenn: We should have shown the finished kimchi jigae.
Oh ok honestly, she ate all of it. And mine. Jenn: No, I ate your tofu only.
She did but she can eat, guys!
She can eat! Jenn: It's my favorite place, what can I say.
You guys probably all know Jenn. But she's one of my favorite YouTubers.
Jenn: We used to be friends in Oakland (Joan: Yeah, I know) I knew you in Oakland, which was nice.
I know ~ She's great! Jenn: Blast from the past!
Alright, we're gonna head over, but I hope you guys enjoyed seeing Jenn. I'll link her channel.
I'm sure you guys all know Jenn, but she's seriously one of the most humble YouTubers I know.
And I'm gonna keep saying that because she really is. Jenn: Aw, thanks Joan. Joan: Of course!
Jenn: Aw, she's such a sweetheart.
Who's that?
Quick transition over to...
Fei! (Fei: Hi!) Hey it's Fei!
But now I have to take that over to Judy's place because that's where I'm staying.
And then I was editing a little bit earlier.
Fei: I know, we came in, it was so funny. Mina was like, is this your laptop? And I was like no.
Fei: And I was like, oh it's Joan's. She was like, is it mine? I was like I don't think so. Joan: No.
Alright, so I'm just gonna finish up consolidating everything in my suitcase and then head over to Judy's.
But I'm going to end the vlog here.
I have a lot of editing to do and some preparing for...
Like tomorrow's my last day in America, Fei. It feels weird, because I'm finally going to go back to Korea.
I'm very excited about it, and she's gonna come visit me. (Fei: I'm excited. She's gonna be back in Korea.)
Yes. Fei: But I'm happy you had your time here.
I know, it's been amazing.
But I think, you guys are definitely going to lose a vlog because my flight's at midnight
And I'm going to be on the plane for 1 whole day.
And because America, or California is like 8 hours ahead. (Fei: Yeah.)
8 hours ahead? Yeah. I'm gonna- you're gonna lose a vlog, so I'm just gonna say it now. I will... (Fei: Nooooooo)
But I will let you guys know again probably tomorrow if not,
I might have been too tired, so I'm not gonna upload tomorrow.
I don't know. We'll see what happens.
But you will be losing a vlog for that reason.
But yeah, I just went off tangent there.
Here's the shout out of the day for those of you guys who translated and transcribed the vlog right here.
And I will see you all in tomorrow's! Have a nice day. Bye! If I upload tomorrow~
