A few weeks ago, I was able to spend a week in Los Angeles as it was my only week to just chill and not practice piano for once. 

 

I only went to LA because my boyfriend really wanted me to visit him since he was working on his internship there, specifically around Beverly Hills/Century City. To be honest, if it wasn't for him, I would've never gone. I never liked LA. I hated Socal people (and Vegas people, since they are very similar), and I hated the lifestyle that was associated with them. And I'm talking about the stereotypical laidback, parties at the beach lifestyle. I've always heared about the underground scene at K-town and how college students love to just chill at the beach. And after living far away from the west coast, I realized how much more I despised the Southwest portion of the US. I could go on and on about my reasons of why I never liked LA. But let me stop here and explain what had happened that week...

 

It was that week that made me realize that although those stereotypes may be true, I was so ignorant that I couldn't even look at all the good memories I had in Socal in the past decade. I know my boyfriend must have been so tired of me being so nostalgic all the time, because literally everywhere I went, I had to point out another memory I had with my family and friends from the past. 

 

1. I got to meet old friends like Daren, my long-time duet partner, Charvin, one of my closest YouTube buddies, and Chris, one of my best friends from high school. I also got to meet new friends, like Chris' girlfriend, and Joyce Oh, who's not really new, but sort of since I only met her at my church in Chicago. Daren and Charvin are two that I've hung out with already in LA the last time I went, which was my senior year of high school. It was my first time hanging out with Chris in LA. It was weird hanging out with him in a new environment, and seeing that he was driving me around this time, especially since I was always the driver.

 

2. In N Out. Enough said.

 

3. Disneyland. It was my third time going, but my first time with my boyfriend (it was also his first time!). Everything about that theme park was nostalgic for me. The first time I went was when I was still in elementary school. It was with my family and we went to both sides of the park. I remember I got to experience my first rollercoaster with a loop (Soarin' Over California). Then the next time I went was with my 7th grade classmates as a "back-to-school" trip. We only visited the Disneyland side, and as a 12-year-old, it was so much fun just roaming around in the park without any parents. So it had been nearly a decade since the last time I went, but a lot of these rides that I rode with my boyfriend were still so vivid in my head. Ironically, even though the park is aimed for little kids, I think it was most enjoyable for me this time around. This time I was with someone that I cared about a lot, and moving around in the park was so much easier with just the two of us, instead of a whole pack of friends or my whole family. We had no time limits, so we got to stay until midnight and saw the fireworks, which was my first time ever. It was also my first time having to drive to Anaheim and back, which was exhausting. It made me think back on all the times my dad drove my family around and he never once complained about how tired he was. 

 

3. And speaking of which, I need to explain about driving. I rented a car for four days and it was thanks to a car that my boyfriend and I had lots to do around Socal. It was expensive, and I even gained a freaking parking ticket, but it was well worth it in the end. I was at first intimidated driving in the streets of LA, but when I realized that my aggressive driving personality actually fit in with the crazy drivers there, I no longer seemed scared. But it did make me think back on all the times my dad drove. How I used to beg my mom if I could sit in the shotgun seat, for the sole purpose of reading signs and talking to my dad about driving and cars. So a lot of these streets around K-town (Western, Pico, Olympic, etc.) were very familiar to me even though it's been so long since I've been there. And as I got older, my dad and I would play the ETA (estimated time of arrival) game. I would calculate in my head the time it would take for the remaining number of miles left in the journey. After some practice, I got really good at it, but never as good as my dad. Then again, he can always control the speed at which he is driving, so he always won... -__- Anyway, driving around LA really made me appreciate my dad and what he did for us for our annual trips to LA. My dad still drives a lot, since he's a taxi driver in Vegas, but I know his driving lifestyle is slowly coming to an end as he is getting older and older. And even the last time I went to LA in my senior year of high school, my dad let me drive the whole way. I don't know when my family will make another trip out since it's hard to get all five of us in the same city for a long period of time, but I just know that my dad won't be responsible for all the driving anymore. It's a sad realization... but I'm just grateful for my dad for being my dad. For being a hero in my family.

 

4. And K-town. Koreatown was always the place my family went to year after year. We went there because back then, Vegas didn't have a major Korean supermarket and if we wanted to buy anything, it was always so much more expensive than in LA. So my parents, would save up money and then we would spend so much. Usually we were in K-town anywhere from 1-2 days, so we really went crazy with shopping. I remember going to Assi one time and my parents stocked up three carts full and spent more than a thousand dollars in total. I remember being so excited to be in LA, but at the same time, so bored that I had to always follow my parents around. My siblings and I ended up creating our own games and causing mischief around the stores. I still remember times we would attempt to play hide-and-seek inside one of those really cramped and small Korean stores. Or the times we would go up and down the elevator inside Koreatown Mall because it was see through and was the coolest thing ever. Back then they had a humungous music store, and by the time I was around 5-7th grade, I would go there with the sole purpose of listening to all the techno and trance and K-pop CDs. And after tons of begging, my mom would finally let me buy some of the CDs. Before the iPod age, I had a CD player, and after buying those CDs, I would always listen to the entire album multiple times on our trip back to Vegas. I'm so sad that the music store no longer exists in the mall, and the mall has gone through lots of renovation since a decade ago. 

 

5. Classical music. Everytime I'd be driving around, my boyfriend and I would go through all the radio stations trying to find a good one to listen to. It was too bad neither of us had an auxiliary cable to use, so all we had was the radio. There were many times we would stop at the classical station because nothing else was good. But it made me so happy knowing that I can share my love for classical music with him, who is also a classical music fanatic. It reminded me of all those times when my dad would ONLY make us listen to classical music. We weren't ever allowed to change it. And when we were passing through different districts and areas of California, my dad would always have to find a different station that had classical music. Our car was always filled with the same kind of music but because of that, it has definitely shaped my experiences when traveling to LA. I also remember during my angsty middle school years, I was so annoyed with the constant classical music that was playing in the car that I always brought my CD player along with me so I could blast K-pop or techno music to drown out the sounds of the "mundane" strings. This time around, however, listening to classical music felt so peaceful. I felt at home. It made me wish that my dad and the rest of my family was in the car with me. I miss all the times my dad would lecture me about a composer or a piece of music he recognized. I miss all the times I tried to change the radio station and my dad would hit my hand haha. 

 

 

Of course I had lots of new memories that I made this time around, like hiking at Runyon Canyon and Escondido Falls in Malibu, walking around Hollywood Blvd and spending time in Santa Monica Beach and Pier. And I'm glad I have new memories because I know that if I ever visit these places again in the future, I'll have something to base my experience off of. 

I wanted to continue hating on Socal because I've been doing that for so long, especially during my high school years. And even though those feelings may still hold to be true, I finally get to remember that it was LA where I formed lots of great memories. All the theme parks I've been, to shopping in K-town, to going to the beaches and more. I'm so thankful for this trip because I've learned to appreciate lots of things. 

 

Annual family trips and school trips with friends are over. It makes me so sad to think that a big chapter in my life has closed... but I'm excited for what this new one has to offer. I don't know when I'll be back in Socal, but I'll make sure to look forward to it because all of my trips to LA are awesome.

'Til next time.

Wow. Seven years.

 

Seven years of making videos, with a growing fan base of 34k subscribers now. Who would've ever thought? 

 

How I started YouTube is very vague in my memory because it wasn't something I wanted to do intentionally. I discovered YouTube in November 2005 because my best friend at the time wanted me to watch a ridiculous anime clip. On March 2006, I made my own YouTube account since I was watching so many videos there anyway. All throughout middle school I wasted so much of my time watching ridiculous videos on popular websites, like ebaumsworld, i-am-bored, etc. This was before YouTube was even born. And now that everyone and their mothers were posting the same ridiculous videos onto this power website, I had no need to visit the other ones anymore. YouTube was well organized and clean, and had all kinds of genres. 

 

I stumbled across a bunch of piano covers of popular music which highly interested. Some of the people were decent, and others were well, horrible. I figured I could do something like this, and be better. Furthermore, I wanted to show my friends that I wasn't just about classical music. That I CAN play other types of music. I wasn't very popular in middle school because I was not the typical girl who had slumber parties and painted nails and went shopping at malls with their girlfriends. I resorted to online video games and made online friends. I read books and practiced piano. By the end of middle school, I did have a few close friends, but I believed that the online friends I made were, at times, more valuable. Maybe that's why I was so intrigued by the YouTube online community. 

 

On June 10, 2006, I recorded three videos back to back. Every Heart, Because I'm a Girl, and Kiss the Rain. They were easy pieces for me, pieces that I can just sightread. I had no idea about how to record or what angle I should use except for the fact that all I had to do was press the record button to start. And that evening, I uploaded the first of three. 

 

In high school, I was not only known as the pianist who won competitions around Vegas, but also as the "YouTube girl." I had lots of great friends who cared about me and supported me. And by senior year, I started to meet some of my YouTube fans in person, who are now some of the greatest people I've ever met. 

 

It became weird in college because by the time I entered Northwestern, my YouTube channel was already 4 years old. I made friends who had already discovered my videos in the past, which was kind of crazy. It felt so different from high school because my high school friends actually grew up with me and my YouTube channel. On another note, I was getting interviews here and there from journalism students regarding my YouTube channel. My journey with YouTube at my new school didn't feel as personal anymore because no one here really knew me.

 

And the biggest reason why things started to get weird for me is because YouTube was no longer the community that I once knew. It's no longer about uploading raw videos to share your passions and interest. Nowadays, you NEED to have high quality video and audio for your videos to attract attention. What used to be a fun hobby for most people is now a professional career for the "YouTube celebrities." People make accounts for the SOLE purpose of becoming famous. It's all about promotions. It's all about having a high production crew and agents to help you out logistically, financially, etc. YouTube celebrities now go on worldwide tours. 

 

I almost fell into the addiction of achieving fame. At one point between senior year of high school and sophomore year of college, I wanted to be famous on YouTube. I was so dedicated to coming out with the best videos. I even got a high quality mp3 recorder to boost my sound quality. I started making my own arrangements of pieces instead of doing "boring" covers that everyone can easily do. It started to take up so much of my time. When I could be bonding with the new friends I made in college, I was stuck in Lutkin Hall for hours on end trying to capture the perfect video. I also admit that at times, I cried in frustration and threw fits when things didn't go my way during a recording/editing session. 

 

I finally asked myself, "Why am I doing something that is clearly not making me happy?" The only time I was ever happy was when my subscriber count was going up or when people were leaving me nice comments. I agree that they can be nice ways to motivate yourself to come out with videos, but that shouldn't be your only source of happiness. What I was doing was no longer a fun hobby for me -- it became a mundane routine that I felt obligated to do. And ultimately, I realized that fame wasn't going to bring me ultimate happiness. It's great that I have so many wonderful fans supporting me from all over the world, but the people that are going to impact me the most are the ones closest to me. As a result, at some point in college, I experienced loneliness. And I believe that many celebrities experience this, too. You have so many people supporting you... but not one of them really knows who you are or cares about you on a deeper, personal level. The people that were once your closest friends knew you very well... but because you didn't spend any time with them, they became lost. 

 

In efforts to turn myself around, I went on a long hiatus from YouTube, which is still continuing to this day. I decided to focus on my real life. I've always had my passion focused on classical music, but now I love it more than ever. I have great friends here at Northwestern, and I still want to keep the best of friends I made in high school. 

 

Currently, I am "Princess Sherry" of the Super Piano Brothers. In professional terms, I am like their producer and secretary. I helped launch their YouTube channel on my birthday, MAR10 day this year. They have been doing really well and are currently looking into doing more talent competitions when opportunities arise. I've been able to perform with them in big events like ECAASU and APAHM which has been an amazing experience. In some ways, I feel like I'm living vicariously by helping Tiedan and Wesley achieve recognition and fame as the Super Piano Brothers. It's almost ironic to how I feel about my own YouTube channel. 

 

Although I am saddened by the fact that I do not have time to continue making videos, I am happy that it happened in these past seven years. I am happy for all the great YouTube musicians I have become friends with, who have become like my family (I'm talking about you guys, Kyle, Joanna, Andrew, Julian, Lara, and more, of course!), for all of the great collaborations I've done, for all the opportunities I've had to share my passion in video game and anime music. And most importantly, I am forever grateful for everyone's support in these past years. I am forever grateful for the fans who became inspired to learn or re-learn the piano because of my videos. At this point, I can't even imagine what my life would look like without my YouTube channel. It has become such an integral part of my life (1/3 of my life is definitely a significant portion). And I want to apologize to those who have been waiting patiently for a new video to come out. It's been a very enjoyable journey. I don't want to tell myself that this is the end... because who knows. Maybe I might find the chance to re-inspire myself one of these days.
