Personal headcanons for Jumin

A/N: Hello guys!^^ Here’s a list of some hcs i have for Jumin, i always wanted to write them down and finally took the time to do so. Hope you like it!! Oh there are a few nsfw ones at the end too, those are hidden under the cut :3 Have fun!!

Appearance:

the moment it starts raining or snowing his hair gets wild and stands up in all different directions. Which is really annoying if he is about to attend a meeting or a photoshoot

has really broad shoulders, perfect for leaning onto them if you need it. (they got broader in hid teenage years from his swimming. does that make sense??)

has very long, legs and is very sturdy and also tall boi confirmed

doesn’t really have a six pack, because I think he’d focus mostly on cardio training when he exercises. it keeps him healthy

has really nice large hands, a little bit veiny, with long straight fingers, uses lotion over the night to keep them soft

Jumin has little to no beard growth, so he is always clean shaved, otherwise there would just be a few stubbles here and there and he doesn’t like that. (loves it when you’re shaving him- he trusts you completely)

Relationship

Jumin loves it when you start pouting after he teased you - it’s cute

cares a lot about your wellbeing and your health, so if there’s a problem he’d love to help you in every way possible.

loves to watch you when you’re knitting, stitching, dancing, painting, writing - everything. You’re very fascinating to him, and he loves it when you poke out your tongue while you’re focused on your task.

loves cooking with you and trying out new recipes

he definitely spoils you. Saw something you like? Jumin will make sure to buy it for you. Want to go out with him? He’d take you to all the super expensive restaurants you never even dared to set a foot inside.

When you work in a job you don’t want to quit, even though Jumin already made himself very clear you don’t have to work, he’d support you at all times

When you both had a stressful day he’d draw in a bath for you two. He loves bathing with you, it saves water but also calms him down a lot. Jumin loves to scrub your back and massage it to get rid of the stress. He definitely plays with your hair then too, while you cover Jumin in foam (i bet he lit up some candles and got two glasses of wine for you too!!)

At night you two always get ready for bed together, while changing clothes, brushing teeth and everything you talk about this and that

loves slow dancing in the kitchen with you, before you two cook together.

His eyes always sparkle when you two sit right in front of each other when you’re eating dinner.

At official parties/ other festivities Jumin always makes sure to show everybody you belong to him, from time to time he’d share small pecks with you or squeeze your shoulders when he stands behind you

His eyes are always following you, a proud smile on his lips, but the moment he sees somebody hitting on you he will pop out of nowhere and put an arm around your waist, smoothly joining the conversation, maybe even give you a quick kiss.

since he never really received many hugs - he would have to get used to them at first, but after a while he’ll grow quite fond of them and every other physical contact. Jumin loves to cuddle with you after a hard day of work or right after he wakes up.

He loves to be the big spoon, the way you fit perfectly in his arms as if you were made for each other. But from time to time when the threads come back and pull tighter around his chest or after he wakes up from a nightmare he loves to lean onto you or to be the little spoon. With his head on your chest, your heartbeat in his ear, your hands softly stroking his black hair and the soft words you whisper he’d feel safe and at ease.

This young man would never miss the chance to sleep right next to you and his beloved Elizabeth the 3rd

Oh btw he really loves it when you cuddle with her, his most beloved angels get along so well and that makes his heart jump and skip a beat.

NSFW (ok so this is just me being horny af- sorry >.<)

Appearance:

Jumin gives off quite the big dick energy so… there’s gotta be something to it. I mean he’s got a pretty nice nose after all and you know what they say…

I don’t think he is clean shaved, maybe he does it from time to time but I don’t think he cares a lot about it.

has a clean shaved chest though (it’s like his beard growth- only a few hairs every few centimeters, so it would look very weird if he’d let them grow)

has some veins on his penis (one of them is pretty long)

now his pretty fingers come in handy too!!! 2. While doing the do:

Jumin loves to feel your smooth skin on his own. It reminds him of cashmere and silk, two of his favourite feelings on his skin.

The young man loves the way you draw circles on his chest or his inner thigh- this really gets him going, and leaves a burning sensation on his skin. The higher you go up on his thigh (or the deeper you wander on his torso) the more he yearns for your touch right where a suspicious bulge starts to grow >.<

he loves to blindfold you, or to tie you up with one of his ties...

ok let’s not lie here, he loves bdsm and i don’t think there are a lot of things he wouldn’t try out with you

He also asks for your consent!!! Always! Thats very important to him

also safe sex is very important to him too, I bet he makes sure you’re both healthy before doing the do

would never do something you don’t like or don’t want to do.

loves receiving but is also very down to give and get you in the mood more than enough. He’s only ready when you are already writhing beneath him, moaning his name over and over again.

He loves to watch you please yourself, that way he gets to know what you love the most, it also turns him on so bad.

He doesn’t like to masturbate on his own, but when he’s on a business trip or you are staying somewhere else (wait that would be strang ebut oh well) he’d be down for some dirty words you exchange over the phone, only then or when he needs to relieve some pressure he’d give himself a few strokes, twists and turns. But he misses you all the way.

The first few times he’d hide his boner, but after being together for a quite while he’d just walk right up to you, either whispering into your ear or hugging you from behind to let you know that his thoughts are running wild

Jumin loves to tease… in every way.

ice cubes

deep thrusts

he would never admit it, but Jumin really likes it when you roll him over and take control.

tries to give you shivers while doing the do, lets his fingers or his lips merely brush over your skin to drive you insane.

when you’re doing doggy style he loves to pull your hair (especially when you still have a ponytail - then he wraps it around his hand and pulls just enough to not hurt you)

deep thrusts

loves the feeling of you tight around his dick, especially when you reach your peak

with your fingernails digging inside his skin, trying to pull him tighter in your embrace, wishing you would never have to part away from him anymore...

never was into sending dick pics, only if you’d like to receive one (but it’ll be a bit blurry after all), but if you like to send him a naughty pic he always loses his composure.

it drives him wild when you play all innocent. especially when you wear lace underwear/ lingerie, nice clothes (which are also revealing), a collar, cat ears, or a cat tail... >.<

He loves to hold you in his arms when he cums, and likes the feeling of his twitching member inside of you...

is all in for aftercare, and maybe some more rounds after that!

but also gets very sleepy afterwards and cuddly.

that’s it! Bye^^

Hot Chocolate

Story number 2! Happy Blogmas! Summary: For Y/N it’s the entirely wrong time to run into Harry Styles.

No warnings, just fluff. Pic isn’t mine. Doesn’t he look incredibly cozy?

Rushing through London is never an easy task. There are people everywhere, going about their daily routine and following their obligations, making passing through the streets anything but something that can be done quickly. It got worse when Christmas was near. Finding a quiet corner or a street that wasn’t crowded became an impossible task, and so I was forced to take any detour I knew and stumble through tiny alleys, in hopes that they would get me to my destination faster than the big streets I’d take on a normal basis could. It was hard and my patience was slowly but surely fading. It was december 3rd... what the hell were people buying presents for already? And did no one have to work anymore? And since when did the sun set at 4pm? Dammit, I wasn’t in the mood for Christmas yet. Not one bit and I didn’t understand the people who were. I glanced at my watch. If I didn’t catch the tube leaving in two minutes I would be fine, but if I were to miss the one right after that, the one leaving in four minutes, I would be screwed. My feet rushed to carry me quicker, despite the burning in my thighs and the aching in my toes and the faster I walked the heavier my breathing got. Shit. Shit, shit, shit. I turned right, crossed a street and ran into another tiny alley, turned left and whoom! “Ouch!” I knocked into him hard, hard enough for my body to stumble back with force and for my shoulder to hurt as if I’d hit a wall of stone instead of another person’s body.

“Fuckin’ell,” the guy cussed and reached out to steady me, keeping me from falling to the ground, “You alright, love? Came out of bloody nowhere!”

“Time!” I called out and shrugged him off.

“What?”

I glanced at my wrist and a cold shudder overcame me. Well, fuck. The tube station I needed to reach was about one minute away, that was if I ran twice as fast as I had so far, and the second tube, the one I needed to be in so I would be fine still, was due to leave.... well, now.

“No!” I cried, close to tears, “No, no, no!”

The man, still standing in the same spot and right in front of me, gasped. “Jesus, girl, what’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong?” I cried, looking up to face him for the first time.

My eyes widened. Familiar and deeply green eyes met mine and when his pink lips moved, the voice escaping them was one I knew very well. Every detail of his face, every lovely feature was imprinted into my mind and the moment my brain built his name in my head I could almost taste it on my tongue. My breathing hitched. It couldn’t be him, no way. But of course I wouldn’t ever mistake his face for another. The person standing before me, the man I’d knocked into forcefully and who I’d cursed at, was my longtime crush, Harry Styles.

“I just missed my tube,” I muttered with watering eyes, “And now I’m sure to miss the bus I was supposed to take after the tube and because of this I will be far too late for the job interview I was meant to rock and so.... everything’s ruined now.”

Harry nodded slowly, understanding my dilemma, though by the sparkle in his soft eyes I could tell that he wasn’t taking me all too seriously.

Annoyed, I turned away. “Sorry, Harry. My problems are none of your concern and I’m sorry that I ran into you, though really your shoulder- what’s that made of? Steel? My arm hurts now. Anyway... I’m sorry. I’ll just... be on my way now.”

“M’sorry you missed your tube,” Harry offered, voice calm and when I shrugged his brows frowned.

“It’s fine.”

Hesitantly he reached out and lightly touched me where my arm hurt. I hissed. I couldn’t have met him at a more inconvenient time. My cheeks were flushed and probably oily as well, and with every breath I took my lungs made an ugly sound. I silently cursed my body for not even attempting to hide how terribly out of shape I was. Not even my hair was nice today. It was greasy and a mess from running through London for the past thirty minutes. My bottom lip wobbled and I huffed. Everything was supposed to be so much better when we met for the first time. I’d always imagined running into him somewhere randomly and in my dreams I’d always been dolled up nicely. Just when I thought my day couldn’t get any worse.

“What’s your name, sweetheart?”

“Y/N.”

Harry held out his hand to me and though I hesitated first, taking it felt great. A rush cursed through my body when our skin touched and for the first time that day, I wasn’t cold. We were still standing in the small alley in the heart of London, with people rushing to push past us in the narrow space and with snow slowly falling form the dark sky. But for a moment the world stood still. At least mine did.

“M’Harry.”

I laughed and he did too, aware that there was no need in introducing himself, but it was kind and kinda funny to me.

“It’s nice meeting you,” I spoke with a smile in my tone and on my lips, “though I do wish we’d met under better circumstances.”

I stumbled when somebody knocked into me, pushing me further into the wall next to Harry and out of their way and once again he was quick to take hold of my arms and keep me from falling. I rolled my eyes.

“How nice,” I grumbled, “Why is everybody in such a bloody rush? It’s the beginning of december for crying out loud! If humanity gets worse the closer Christmas comes I’m going to lose my mind.”

“Well, you knocked into me ‘cause you were running,” Harry grinned, “So I’d say you aren’t in the position to complain about other people doing the same. Are you alright though? I’m really sorry about missing that interview.”

I nodded reassuringly and his worried expression faded as quickly as it’d come. “I might bruise a bit from your shoulder of metal, but other than that, I’ll be fine. That interview... was for a job I didn’t want as much as I needed it, you know? Maybe I’ll now find something better. And meeting you instead is an okay way of the universe to make up for having been against me all day.”

He blushed. “I do try to become half iron man, you know?”

With a gentle tug Harry guided me to stand closer by his side and at the less in the way of others. My heart jumped with the perspective of getting to talk to him some more. When I took a better look at Harry, how bundled up in layers of clothing his body was, I found myself sighing in adoration. Every last ounce of my sour mood drained form me the longer I looked at him and let his warmth embrace me.

“You’re halfway there, I’d say,” I smiled, and with a sudden boldness I tugged at his arm softly, feeling the muscles he’d spent so much time building.

Harry’s eyes looked at the spot where my hand was touching him and reluctantly I pulled away. He was a reserved person. Even though his heart was warm and open for everybody, I knew he didn’t necessarily like it when people were too forward with him. The kind smile he wore let me know that I hadn’t overstepped a line.

“Well,” he breathed, “since you missed your tube and I’ve been drifting through London without a purpose all day... do you think we could go get some coffee?”

“Coffee?”

He nodded, shy eyes wandering over my surprised face. “You’re quite nice and it’s the least I can do after making you miss your tube by being in your way. Also, your lips are pale and your cheeks red. M’worried you’re going to freeze if I don’t get you into a warm and cozy coffee shop soon.”

Harry was smooth, I thought. His voice was as sweet as his words were, his eyes sparkled like stars and his skin radiated. He glowed like a creature from another world. My lips pressed together. It was weird, I thought, how spending less than five minutes in his presence was enough to make me feel as if I knew him, as if everything was alright and normal. Just like we would be doing this on a daily basis, just two friends, talking and getting coffee together. He didn’t strike me at all as that mega super star that he was.

“I’m not too keen on coffee,” I admitted with a smile, “But since apparently it’s Christmas already,” I moved my arms to gesture at the craziness that was London during this time of the year, “what would you say if we went for hot chocolate instead?”

Harry chuckled. “My trainer won’t like the amount of sugar m’about to consume, but sure. I’d love to.”

With a nod he lead as down the small alley and into an even smaller one, and I was amazed how easy he made having a conversation with him. I couldn’t help admiring Harry and I did my best to hide that from him. I’d made enough of a fool of myself for a lifetime, I found.

Suddenly my feet came to a halt. “You’re carrying a bag.”

Harry frowned before holding up the plastic bag I was pointing at. It was pitch black and had no letter printed on it, but I knew exactly what it was.

“You’re one of those insane people!”

“It’s only one, I promise.”

“It’s the 3rd of december!” I exclaimed, making him laugh out loud, “And you’re just as mental as everyone else seems to be and have a present already!”

He didn’t look one bit guilty and once he introduced me to a coffee shop that also sold hot chocolate, the best one I’d ever had mind you, he was delighted to know that I’d forgiven him for being an insane Christmas person.

Hope you enjoyed it! So far the female lead in both of my blogmas stories was pretty annoyed with Christmas and I’d like to point out that I am beyond excited and not at all as grumpy as my characters are!

If you liked this story or if you hated it - let me know! J’aime feedback!

Time to get sentimental. Even though I’ve really started to not enjoy Warped Tour as much as I used to, it still gave me some of my best concert memories I’ve ever had. When I was 15, I saw my favorite band @alltimelow from the front row at Klipsch Music Center for the first time. I also went to their signing and got their autographs, which is something I thought would never happen (I have yet to actually make it to a real meet & greet, but I’m keeping faith that it’ll happen one day). All Time Low has been my favorite band since I was 13 years old, so for more than 1/3 of my life I have loved All Time Low more than anything. To be able to have even a small moment like this with the people who are such a huge part of my life is something I will always be grateful for. Warped Tour 2012 is one of the best times I’ve ever had. As I got older and started losing interest in Warped, I still went to see one of my favorite bands Four Year Strong whenever they were in the lineup (usually they’re the only band I went to see). Even though I never got to go to a signing, I did see them front row once too and it was fucking incredible. They’re so good and to be able to experience their live show was insane. Warped Tour 2016 was only for Four Year Strong and Neck Deep and their only date on the tour. 3rd row for the 2nd of 3 times seeing Neck Deep in the span of a year isn’t too bad. Also went to their signing and tried to talk to them but I was trying to make sure Maddie didn’t pass out bc they’re her fave so I only got to talk to Ben for like three seconds. Also creeped this pic of him while waiting in line at their signing. Sorry Anyways the whole reason for this post is that I wouldn’t have been able to do any of these things without Warped Tour so even though I grew out of it, I’m always thankful for the experiences I was able to have while I was there. Love you forever @vanswarpedtour #vanswarpedtour #warpedtour2012 #warpedtour2014 #warpedtour2016 #alltimelow #fouryearstrong #neckdeep

Buster: Tell me Rio: Well, it was talking to your sister that gave me the idea Rio: and all the time I been spending at the gay clubs Rio: obviously I'll have to work out the logistics, start small and make all the connections along the way Rio: but there's no big company like the pornhub people, who make like Rio: actual decent stuff, for everyone, with all kinds of different people in it Rio: I wanna do something like that, and maybe have a IRL club too, similar vibe Buster: Fuck Buster: That's such a good idea, Rio Rio: You think so? Rio: I've been thinking on it for a while, like why not, there's a huge gap in the market, especially for women, like so many girls don't like porn because half of it is lowkey so abusive towards the women like Rio: they don't wanna see that Buster: You're so right Buster: And so smart Rio: I'm gonna try and make it happen Rio: why not me, yeah? Rio: the pornhub guy was just some kid, mark zuckerberg, whatever Buster: Exactly Buster: And you know I'll help you Buster: Whatever you need Rio: Thanks, baby Rio: I know it'll take time but I already know lots of other camgirls and pole dancers and all sorts Rio: Maybe they'll be into it Buster: And you got time Buster: No half measures, yeah? Buster: If you're gonna do it, do it well Rio: Definitely Rio: Let's be real, I make enough from my streaming alone, never mind with a club job too Rio: I just wanna be doing more, making it into something Buster: Yeah Buster: You know I fucking love money but you gotta do something you give a shit about too Buster: Everything with passion, like Buster: Or why bother Rio: Exactly Rio: I knew you'd understand Rio: I know some people won't like it but just the people that already don't like what I do Rio: so Buster: Fuck them Buster: You can do this and if you wanna you will Buster: You don't even need me for it but you got me Rio: I love you Rio: you get me Buster: I always have and I always will, babe Buster: On both counts Rio: I'm so happy Rio: I know I'm ignoring so much shit but Rio: it ain't mine so sorry everyone Buster: You're allowed Buster: You've literally spent so long taking on theirs too Rio: It's not like I don't care but Rio: it's exhausting, everyone is burning out Rio: that's why I'm glad Nance is doing something about it, for her Rio: we are too, just different Buster: Yeah me too Buster: Uni will help Nance as well 'cause I reckon she'll go further afield like Buster: New people and new shit is what she needs Rio: Yeah, definitely Rio: School is just shit, and really shit for some people Rio: she'll thrive when everyone on her course is nerding on the same stuff, it's how it is Buster: Exactly Rio: like my baby Buster: You're cute Rio: I'm serious Rio: Imagine having friends actually on your level Rio: well, nearly Buster: I was gonna say Buster: You're the only one on my level, babe Rio: Too right Rio: only so much room at the top lads Buster: You're making me miss you so much Rio: I know Rio: but I can't come see you now, gotta get us our place baby Buster: I really hope you like it Buster: Then I'll make it happen for us Rio: As long as it's got two rooms and isn't in a shithole, like Rio: doing better than I was so Rio: but I'll make sure it's worth the price Buster: I know you will Buster: You got this Rio: I can't believe we get to have all this Buster: I can't believe I get to be with you Buster: Everything else is just a bonus, like Rio: I know Rio: it's the best Buster: I'm gonna marry you and we're gonna have our own house Buster: So soon Buster: But as stepping stones go, this is such a good one Rio: Yeah Rio: Agreed Rio: but now I'm too excited to do anything useful with the rest of my day Rio: oops Buster: Feel free to distract me Buster: I won't tell my mum Buster: That's always very useful to me Rio: 😏 Rio: Glad to know you've got the bragging under control, babe Buster: Less of a brag more of a death wish if I go chatting to her Buster: But cheers Rio: Best not then Rio: need you to stick around, like Buster: I'm not going anywhere Rio: Promise Buster: On the life you want me to keep living Rio: I hope that doesn't cancel it out Rio: got my maths brain worried but good Buster: There's nothing to worry about Buster: Everything's going good for us, babe Rio: Yeah Rio: suspect but not gonna question it Buster: Good Buster: Don't Rio: 🤐 Rio: see? Buster: You're not planning to keep quiet on anything else, are you? Rio: Not unless you want me to Rio: but then you gotta make me like so Buster: That's not what I want Rio: Then I won't Buster: I want you to be loud enough that I forget I'm alone here Rio: Sure between us we can make that happen Buster: Call me Rio: [Call] Buster: I'm speechless now Rio: Yeah, fuck Rio: at least you can concentrate 'cos imma need a minute Buster: I'm gonna need a while too Buster: Jesus Rio: How'd you get so good Buster: Take your share of the credit Buster: Not just for teaching me how to kiss, like Rio: Happily Rio: I love you baby Buster: I love you too Buster: Do you reckon there'll ever be a time when we don't crave each other like this? Are we gonna turn into one of those couples who just sit on their phones or read in bed together or some shit? Rio: Nah Rio: that ain't ever gonna be us Rio: not that I don't like just being with you but even then I wanna be WITH you, like you holding me and stuff Rio: or what's the point Buster: Good 'cause same Buster: I wanna kiss you all the time never mind anything else Rio: There'd be something wrong if you didn't Rio: everything I do is so you'll want me Rio: not gonna just give up one day, not that bitch Buster: Me either Buster: Never Rio: That's alright then Rio: Not saying I'd be serving you papers for bed death but well Rio: have to take up knitting or something and fuck that Buster: 😂 Buster: You can only serve me papers if I lose my hair Buster: 'Cause you know Rio: Priorities Rio: Why else would I be with ya? Buster: Obviously Buster: That and this body, which you know, also could go Rio: Nah, totally impartial to a dad bod 😜 Buster: Good to know Rio: 😂 Rio: Go on then Rio: what's my side of the bargain, what have I gotta keep up or go, like Buster: Just don't let your little sister straighten your hair, ever Buster: Leave it to my sister to be her guinea pig, like Rio: Right, do my best to avoid her advances Rio: shouldn't be too hard 😏 Buster: That's all I ask Buster: You don't look like you and I love you so Rio: Babe Rio: You're too sweet for words Buster: Shh Buster: You're too beautiful for words Rio: You shh Rio: Silly Buster: I'm honest and smart, excuse you Rio: Buster McKenna, in his own words, everyone 😋 Buster: Nah, if I was summing myself up I could do way better Buster: I'm just saying I'm right about how stunning you are Rio: Don't let me stop you, babe Rio: Be there with the applause and everything Buster: Behave Rio: Can't make me Buster: Well, we both know THAT'S not true, babe Rio: 😣 Buster: Poor baby Rio: Be nice to me Buster: Say please Rio: 😠 Don't wanna Rio: don't you remember how nice I was to you on that call Buster: Of course I do Buster: I want you to keep being nice to me Buster: That's all Buster: I'll say it first Buster: Please Rio: I'm just playing baby Rio: I always wanna be nice Rio: please please please Buster: You don't always have to Buster: But okay Rio: I know Rio: I just like being nice to you Buster: Me too Rio: Feels good Rio: doesn't it Buster: Very Rio: How's it possible that I feel so rested when we barely got any sleep whilst you were here? Buster: I know what you mean Buster: Maybe it's like you said, 'cause we sleep so much better when we're together Rio: Yeah Rio: it's gonna be hard tonight Buster: I'll call you again Buster: We can stay on the line together Rio: Yeah Rio: I'll just miss feeling you Rio: it's always worst when you've just gone Rio: not that it's ever that good but you know Buster: I know, baby Buster: I feel it too Buster: But we can do this Rio: We can Rio: it's gonna be so worth it Rio: we ain't gonna even remember this bullshit soon Rio: when we're together always Buster: Exactly Buster: And then anywhere I have to go you can come with me Buster: And vice versa Rio: Yeah Rio: and we're going to go everywhere, right? Buster: 'Course Rio: Starting this summer Rio: if I can ever narrow down my choices Buster: How long is the list? Rio: [Sends various links to places, one of being Brazil 'cos they should go to Brazil] Buster: I reckon that's doable Buster: I have a long summer, like Rio: 😏 World tour is it? Buster: Why not? Buster: Which place do you wanna get married in? Rio: I'm going to Milan with Nance, for one Rio: I don't know when she wants to go Rio: Are you serious?

Rio: No, you're allowed to take time to enjoy all your rewards Buster: Good 'cause the idea of fucking you in the gym right now is very rewarding Rio: Barely anyone is here, we so could Rio: afterwards, when we're all hot and sweaty and pumped up Buster: It could be full of people and I still would Rio: That's why I love you Rio: just thinking about you working out and I'm needy so if I actually had you here you'd have to fuck me no matter what Buster: I can't ever get over how much you want me Buster: Just thinking about how you're feeling is making me so turned on Rio: How could I not Rio: look at you you're perfect Rio: I'm glad no one is here because you can tell I'm horny just by looking at me Buster: You're perfect Buster: And I wish I was there Rio: Me too, maybe you could show me how to use some of these machines, so you could shamelessly check me out Buster: You know it Rio: but for now, I'll be here dreaming, you get back to writing Buster: Less dreaming more working out, babe Rio: 🤤 Rio: that's not helping Buster: You gotta work up a sweat for me one way or another Buster: And since I'm here being a busy nerd Rio: You're right Rio: I'm on it baby Buster: Yeah you are Buster: Thinking about that has me taking layers off Buster: In the kitchen topless again Rio: Oh God Rio: Daddy 😩 Rio: Thinking about that has me grinding up on this seat Buster: [Sends pics] Buster: I reckon you've earned these Rio: How do I earn more damn Buster: Keep doing what you're doing, babe Buster: 200 words until I reach my next target Rio: Then you're over half way Rio: 🙌 you get something special for that one Buster: Spoilers? Rio: Maybe I brought the toy and maybe I want you to use the app Rio: Get to have me here after-all Buster: Fuck Rio: and maybe when you finish you get to see the video so you know exactly how you had me Rio: sound good?

Heeeey October, what’s up? I am SO READY for this… but let me get to the recap first!

We started the month in Nice ->my husband was competing in the Half Ironman World Championships. Running in Nice was EVERYTHING -so amazing- and here are some pics! I truly enjoyed it. My runs were slow crap but the scenery was top notch -also, it was quite hilly. The food was RIDICULOUS. Love. The highlight was a 5K organized by Ironman, where I did horribly. My legs were crap all week. The next week I did a run in Brugge, in Belgium, where I… emmm… hit the pavement a bit and got scratched up a bit… it was no fun… I started hyperventilating and almost crying. Luckily Juan was with me and helped me relax… so scary, but the run was gorgeous.

Then we went to Paris for a week and it was also amazing… I run about 4 or 5 days but my runs were still slow. Maybe it was all the food, maybe it was my vacation mindset, maybe it was PMS (or all 3!). Again, and of course, Paris is amazing.

Anyway, the first half of the month was unbeatable… then I came back to NYC (yeah, nothing to sneeze at) and had two weekends to complete the month. Weekend 1 I did a 22 miler with 6 loops of the top loop (Harlem Hill) which is NO joke, oh, and a rabid pace. It an insane confidence booster.

Weekend 2 I run the Bronx 10 Miler -ha, in the Bronx!- and I PRed HARD. It was a bit shocking given my PR was from a flat 10M in nice weather but it happened. My pacing was ridiculous. These are my last 6 miles:

And it was so much fun… see the proof:

Anyway, it was awesome! time for the:

Total Miles: 147 ha. Vacation in France. what else need I say?

Downs: more croissants please!

Ups: it was gorgeous over there, FAST over here.

Balance: time to catch up. that was fun but there is work to do now.

August

Full of PRs!

I have no idea how this happened. Yes, I have been training like a beast since December and yes, I always surprised when things turn well (to me, the key to being happy is always having low expectations!!!) but omg how did I run the highest mileage I ever did without intending or noticing? I did 216 miles. That is insane! Also, there was a little racing to be done… The month started with SUMMER STREETS!!!!!! Summer Streets is my favorite. I did all 3. It is the BEST.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The first summer streets I did 10 miles because/but I had the Manhattan 7 Mile race the next day, OOOPS… SOMEHOW, I PRed, but that’s only because 7 miles is such an odd distance and because I was sick last year when I did it. My pace was actually good enough for top 20 (out 2435 women) and 2nd in my AG (out of 357) which is quite shocking! My expectations were so slow and I had so much fun that it’s shocking that I did well..

Then I did about 19.5 in summer streets, speedwork, many great workouts….

and did a 5K, another one of the PPTC Al Goldstein Summer Series which was actually decent! I came in 1st in my AG and 20 SECONDS FORM A PR. WTF! ALL I DO MAKES NO SENSE!

More workouts, more summer streets, more miles, the highest week ever in my life and then I did a half in the Rockaways with Andrea and Elizabeth. It wasn’t particularly good but a decent effort. Overall, a month I didn’t plan and couldn’t have foreseen!

Small Recap

Total Miles: the MOST ever ever. woooot. didn’t even know this was happening while it was happening. blame summer streets?

Downs: that it’s over????

Ups: HOLY CRAP I AM STILL HIGH FROM ALL THIS RUNNING!!!!

Balance: MORE more more more please.

July

You’re so predictable, hot weather and all, but so so great. I love summer, have I told you that before? You’ll never hear me complain about the heat, unless I don’t want to wash my hair that day and it’s getting to be a sweaty mess, ever. The tiny layers, the sweatiness, the sprinklers, the sun, the colorful runners, the never-ending weekend morning runs that always come down to a sweat puddle in a brunch situation… omg the finest things in life….

so, July, I went to see a preview of this movie which was a blast and a true story about a girl who decides to run the NYC Marathon. It has very funny running moments. If you’ve seen it, let me know your thoughts!

On July 3rd I run a 5K, which was burning hell a bit balmy. I did ok. I started slow, you know, to warm up a bit more up the hill and the hammered down to get 1st in my AG. YEAH. Then I almost melted.

There was a LOT of running actually in July, fun runs, speedwork, tempos, long runs, always with the most amazing friends and all over the city!

Total Miles: the most so far this year, so yeah, GOOD, and a even few miles ahead of he 1800 yearly miles goal.

Downs: there was a bunch of rain… like flash flooding. Two of my 5Ks got cancelled because of rain..

Ups: ALL OF IT! I LOVE SUMMER RUNNING!

Balance: MORE please.

June

was awesome and QUICK…?

It started with the Italy Run, a 5 miler in Central Park that was fun. I run it with a few friends and we had a blast. The next weekend, I raced the Mini10K, hot as always but also a blast, so how could I miss it? The next weekend I raced the Queens 10K, also always hot but totally manageable this year. Then the next weekend I raced the Front Runners NY Pride Run. Yes, a race every weekend. A little insane on the racing side but that is how I like my summers… There were also some amazing runs sprinkled in. Like, for example, that midweek run where we went up Riverside to see the goats munching on poison ivy…

Small Recap

Total Miles: 157. Racing that much kills the mileage.

Downs: NOT ONE!

Ups: Racing! Love seeing all my friends at the races!!!!

Balance: July, here we come!!!!

May

was a quick one… It bothers me a bit that mileage goes down as soon as the weather gets nicer BUT that is only because I race much more and hey quality over quantity (plus mini tapers…!). You just can’t do it all -or do it all well, correct? So, I’ve been replacing my tempos by races this past month, I only got in a tempo or two, I just can’t do that many hard miles a week. But I always get my intervals in!

Early May I run the Sharon 5 Miler, which was super horribly hill fun!

I REALLY need to get out of NYC more… I always say that and I then I get so lazy. Anyway, that was a super fun weekend out of town with friends. Then we had the Brooklyn Half, which was also awesome!

Overall Small Recap

Total Miles: 134, I am getting behind on my 1800 goal!

Downs: just the mileage.

Ups: all the races and the runs and the friends. Life and running is GOOD.

Balance: I am in a good, GREAT, place. see below…

I have come to terms with WHERE I AM. For 3 years I haven’t PRed and I was pouting about it. I had a few PRs this year, yes, but it’s because it’s at distances I hadn’t bothered with before, it’s like they almost don’t count. A few months ago, I’d get a 1:40 half and I’d point it was about 4 minutes off my 1:36 PR. Now I KNOW that 1:40 is where I am. I am training hard, I am doing all that I should be doing, and HEY, I am older, THIS IS MY BEST. And it’s fine. I am happy with it. Not sure how to explain what changed in my perspective. I am not sure I can say that I will never get closer to 1:36 again -because the truth is not only I am not sure I can get there at all but if I could it is a very remote possibility I am not willing to chase. This, this right here today, is my best. And it sort of reset my goals and status quo of what I can and want to do. Hard RESET. Let’s go.

April

Just like that, we are back to RACING!!!! I started the month with a race I had heard SO much about, the Washington DC Cherry Tree Blossom 10 Miler, an epic run through a very scenic and historic course. The race was truly beautiful, joyful and fast. The race report is here and the video recap is there as well. There was a taper before, a recovery after and then I race the Hot Chocolate 15K in Brooklyn. Also Fun. Did pretty well and the speed is coming back (slowly). Training is good for the soul. And the race results ;-). Oh and I almost forgot: I did a relay marathon in a 200-meter track. That was fun and brutal and insane and fun. More here.

Of course, there were many other fun runs, speedwork sessions, group intervals and what not. See pictures below for more:

I ate everything with melted chocolate dip and washed it down with chocolate

Overall Small Recap

Total Miles: 127, CRAP. Three races really bring down the total with the taper and the recovery…

Downs: legs were sore

Ups: All the fast miles!!!

Balance: Good month overall. Hard work is starting to pay off!

March

was momentous!! On December 10 I started a training program (that I wrote obviously) that would take me through the NYC Half on March 17. It took 527 miles, 14 weeks, 101 miles at goal pace, 6 training partners, two continents as training grounds, and a lot of sweat to get there. The United NYC Half popped up and it was glorious. My race recap is here, and the race video recap is here if you are curious. It was not a PR or a particularly fast race but I felt strong and did amazing. I was able to crush the distance and come out happy. I love halfs. This one is super scenic and that helps.

The other BIG thing is that I was in Buenos Aires for a week and the running was AMAZING!!!! I will post a video soon. Or maybe a “where to run” type post but for now, here are a few pictures for now:

Running in Palermo was a total blast. Can’t wait to go back. I really will work on a post. 100%!

Overall Small Recap

Total Miles: 159, still ok, the taper and the post half recovery slowed me down! Though I am still somehow 31 miles ahead of the 1800 miles goal for 2019.

Downs: not one!

Ups: I had an insane 5-mile tempo that will inspire me all year. Running in Palermo. Finally managing to do speed by myself when I don’t have an option. This month was above the charts!

Balance: TOO GOOD

February

was cold and FAST. Did I tell you I have been training HARD?? I started mid-December, this is week 12 of 14. First race is the NYC Half in two weeks. Training is going amazing. The hardest part was the first 2-3 weeks… when I still didn’t think I could do it. It had been so long since I had a written-down-formal-training-program that I was a bit scared. But if my runners do it, why wouldn’t I? They inspired me. They ask for it, they pay for it, they’re not afraid… what am I waiting for??? So I did it to myself!!!!

So… it was aggressive. So far in these 12 weeks, I’ve run 83 miles under 7:30 pace. Which is what I think should be around my half marathon pace (though who knows?); that’d be around a 1:38 half, not a PR but I don’t think I am in PR shape. We shall see in the next few months… stay tuned.

February had a little snow, some cold days, some brutally cold days, lots of friends and runs, no races, and I don’t remember what else. It was chill, fun, and rewarding.

Overall Small Recap

Total Miles: 170. not bad. at all. for a short month

Downs: by the end of the month I was getting sick of the cold… as usual.

Ups: Training is going amazing!

Balance: Excited for warm weather and less laundry soon!

January

was something: it started REALLY HOT (the first day of the year I did speedwork in a sports bra!) and then it was record-breaking COLD. Running in the cold is so tricky… if you’re underdressed you’ll be miserable (and prone to injure stiff muscles), but if you’re overdressed you’ll also be miserable (and prone to not finish a workout either). Not only I spend way more time layering up but leveling each layer’s materials is a science I work at perfecting every day. Plus, add the wind-chill, the humidity, the area you’ll be running around, and the specific workout to the variables and it could literally cripple you in distress before you even start running… WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF, HUH?

ANYWAY… so it was hot, then cold, then freezing, then back to cold that felt warm because after freezing cold is nothing. I am, somehow, still sticking to my crazy exhausting training plan, and it’s actually going great (some days better than others!). It’s mostly 4 hard workouts a week, but I built them slooooow, so it’s all safe. Painfully horrible BUT SAFE. It’s going well. Plus, I’ve had a few good friends jump in to help in, to pace, to train with, or just distract me from my thoughts of jumping into the reservoir. They are ALL faster than me. I swear. No joke, it’s super humiliating humbling, every week. My main pacer, Pamela Hunt, just won Runner of the Year at the NYRR Club Night. And there I am, trying my best, huffing and puffing, week after week. Why? Because I a not ready to give up. Not yet.

January was a challenging month on the personal side, most of you know. It was heartbreaking but also full of joy. I am trying to navigate all those super strong emotions. We learn something every day if we keep our eyes and hearts open. I am mostly thankful to get to go through this, and to know the people in my life are super strong and we hold each other up.

Overall Small Recap

Total Miles: 147. Not bad! IF I am shooting for 1,800 miles in 2019, the monthly average should be around 158, so I need to up it up a bit. I think it’s hard to put on a lot of miles when I am training because I am currently doing 4 hard workouts a week, so I need more rest than usual…

Downs: just the world-record-breaking really really really cold temps

Ups: I have managed to stick to my training even in this cold weather!

Balance: starting the year STRONG! Let’s go!

September is always a good time Heeeey October, what's up? I am SO READY for this... but let me get to the recap first!

From BHX to QTN. Delayed flights, smelly feet, no sleep and winning a dance competition all in 38 hours...

It all began on 3rd March 2017. The run up to this day, being my first day of my world travelling experience, I have consumed more than enough beer, prosecco, wine and jagerbombs to stock the nearest bar. I didn’t realise actually how many people I had out of sight that I was surrounded by in my life until it was time to say bye. Four alcohol fuelled goodbye sessions later and I wake up still unpacked, not so much as a pair of socks. Not sure whether it just hadn’t sunk in that i’m not just popping overseas for a short vacation to return to normal life, it was in fact leaving home indefinitely, even better starting off as far as New Zealand. I quit my job that I was progressing well in and enjoyed, especially the team I worked with but it wasn’t enough. There was an itch I need to scratch, and now i’m doing it. A cheeky pic of one of the alcohol infused nights with my favourite boys and my mom…

Of course, knowing that everything was all going to plan, I had managed to finish packing in plenty of time, confident that everything had been sorted and i was organised for the 28 hour, 3 flight journey that I was about to endure, I knew something was bound to go wrong. Passport check. Flight itinerary check. Baggage check. Money check. What else could I need? Just to clear up some things I decided to check my emails to the find that my second flight which flew from Dubai to Sydney had been delayed and that I would now be stopping over for 13 hours instead of 2 hour changeover also arriving in Sydney AFTER my connecting flight leaves… why that flight wasn’t rescheduled too is beyond me o.0

Anyway £89 later, and Emirates have put me back on my original flights after I questioned this many times before confirming and the fact I had to pay to change my flight back to it’s original schedule is BEYOND ME. However £89 was a price I was prepared to pay to return back to my overly chilled state of mind.

Finally arriving at the airport with Mom and Dad, Check-in took literally 2 minutes, if that - so I was able to spend the next hour with my parents for some food and chill time before going through security. I’ve done it a fair few times previously so I knew I wasn’t rushed for time. Once it was time to say goodbye I noticed my Dad a little teary eyed and my Mom not really sure how to say bye as she has already had to do it so many times with both me and my sister but at least at these times she knew when she would next see us again.

Past security - all fine. Quick smoke break and then off to my gate to board my flight. It’s still not sinking in. I don’t feel anything other than, do I have my passport and, I hope they have a charger point.

I have never flown via Emirates before so I was surprised to see how huge it was inside, so huge the plane needed two entrances to get passengers on board. I found myself next to a middle aged couple who kept offering me sweets, they probably were being kind as I was alone and look about 5 years old - especially sporting some joggers and a flat peak cap HA. The first meal arrived and as someone who hates cheese, I was greeted with what could only be described as my worst nightmare and it was a good job I had a share bag of Doritos on me.

Cheese everything. Oh I suppose they chucked in a few prawns but even that had feta mixed in it :/

So roughly 7 hours later I land in the beautiful Dubai. So many people have explained how huge this airport is to me and now i’m left feeling a little disappointed. Leading up to my connecting flight out of Dubai I spent 2 hours standing at a Qantas desk as just as I was previously notified, my flight was delayed by 13 hours. Now i’m standing there trying to explain the little debacle and the cost of £89 I had before I even left Birmingham, UK and now i’m being told I’m being flown out to Brisbane, Australia instead of Sydney to follow a flight to Auckland, New Zealand and then another out to finally arrive in Queenstown. My only concern at this point was whether I will be landing the same day as scheduled or not as Sarah and Carly would be waiting for me to arrive in the next 20 hours.

Completely stressed out and exhausted from the previous week partying and lack of sleep since the morning of my first flight I decide to hunt out the smoking area. This is what I found…

A bloody indoor smoking area with absolutely no ventilation whatsoever. It was a complete hot box, I was already sweating my tits off from running around looking for said smoking area and I am greeted with a huge cloudy stench of a room that can only be related to someones Grandma’s living room. I smoke an electronic cigarette so to me this isn’t pleasant at all when me vaping gives off nothing but a mentholly hint of blackcurrant.

The journey goes on. I board my second flight heading to Brisbane, Australia where I have been seated on an isle seat in the middle of the plane next to 3 other 20 something women. Immediate thoughts were, great i’m gonna make some new friends and have a bit of a laugh - maybe catch a nap at some point as it was a 13 hour journey ahead. No… instead the plane in general was SILENT, nobody was misbehaving, nobody was getting drunk and absolutely nobody interacted with anyone. Now I mean i’ve only ever been on holidays with friends as an adult and I can’t remember any of my flights due to too much alcohol so this was a bizzare experience for me. Anyway, I take the opportunity to enjoy the quiet and try to get some sleep. Putting my head down on the pillow provided by Emirates I close my eyes until suddenly my nose starts twitching and is greeted by an awful cheesy smell. I’m thinking oh here we go again, cheese for breakfast. What is it with Emirates and their obsession with cheese?? No I was wrong, in fact it was the girl next to me - her pongin’ feet had escaped the trainers she had probably been suffocating them in for the god knows how many hours, to be honest it smelt like days….

Put your fucking feet back in bab. Although I was a little grumpy at my journey gaining an extra flight - I wasn’t pissed off enough to tell this girl to sort her wiffy feet out. 13 hours later and the aroma became somewhat bearable. I was living in mature cheddar feet odour.

Brisbane was boiling hot - it was so humid, my hair was straight when I left the plane… 5 minutes in the airport and I looked like Monica off Friends when she went on holiday and had to get it braided to tame it. More waiting around and a FaceTime to my best friend Matt later and I was struggling to put a sentence together even to order a bottle of water before I boarded my next flight. I was officially TIRED. Not only that but I couldn’t get my head around the fact I had left Dubai at 10am yet I arrived in Australia 7am the same day. Baffles me.

Arriving in Auckland, it was SUPER busy. People everywhere, not like the previous airports I had been to which seemed to be deserted. I collect my carry-on, pass through security and get my NZ visitor visa approved and electronically attached to my passport. Moving on from international to domestic departures I get lost! This airport is HUGE. Even following the signs is a struggle. I finally find that they have a green line painted on the floor which you follow to domestic departures - they do provide a bus but it was taking far too bloody long and I was on the verge of falling asleep. Anyway - taking a nice stroll in this beautiful weather after leaving a rainy England only 24 hours before was enjoyable.

Checked in my bags in plenty of time so i’m looking for the nearest smoking area. All those hours on flights and in airports not being able to smoke was killing me. Nicotine was needed. It wasn’t until this weekend that my addiction was tested. I was thinking to myself…does nobody in this country smoke? Smoking area was around a mile away in walking distance and I didn’t want to miss my flight.

Zonked out soon as I boarded the plane. Sarah had just messaged me to let me know that she would be joining her friend at the airport to pick me up as her friend had somebody arriving in Queenstown too. Perfect. I was so excited to see her after only having spent 2 days with her in 3 years previously it was great knowing we had a whole month ahead together on a beautiful island… never thought this day would come. After dropping off to sleep several times during the flight I awake to an announcement from the pilot that we are now approaching Queenstown and we would be touching ground soon. 10 seconds later, and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

What a beautiful island. Never seen so many mountains with my own eyes and so much greenland. Like actually. Even the water being so blue, BLEW my mind. I thought I was still dreaming to be honest, I mean I hadn’t slept in 2 days.

Arrival was easy, no security to go through - the airport was pretty small and I was greeted straight away by Sarah and her friend. I was so excited but I just couldn’t bring my body to show any expression as I was that exhausted I couldn’t even speak. My first request was that we go for a smoke while we await Stef’s friend arriving from Sydney. Immediately.

What happened next is the best part of the entire weekend. Back to Sarah and Carly’s where I’d be staying for my duration in New Zealand - first thing I do is jump in the shower, I fucking stink mate. 2 days without showering and running around in 3 different countries is insanity. Anyway, getting out the shower I am greeted with Vodka and Tonics ready to go on a night out??? Yep, that’s right - no sleep and we’re going for drinks to welcome me on my first night here. It was only 8pm so I agreed it was a good idea to ride it out and go to sleep in the night time after some bevvies with the girls.

They took me to a bar called Loco’s. The music was great, it reminded me of the Nightingale back in the day when it was good - so yeah for anybody that knows of The Nightingale in Birmingham, UK - that means CHEESE. The only kind of cheese that I enjoy. Within 20-30 minutes of being in this bar I am pulled up on to the stage with 3 other people and have been entered for a competition. At first they announce the competition is ‘who can get naked the quickest’. As I was about to immediately walk off the stage - the guy shouts “Just kiddin’” then announces that it is is a dance competition. Now i’ve necked a few Jagerbombs and Desperados already at this point, mixed with a lovely bout of sleep deprivation so - i’m pretty fucking drunk. Bring it on. 2 lads were before me and decided that stripping was dancing? Who knows where they got idea but it was pretty horrific and the crowd didn’t seem to enjoy it. Next up was me. Now I can’t fucking dance - I know I can’t. But if there is one thing I can do, that’s entertain a crowd of drunken people. Slut drops happened, backwards rolls happened, chest pumping and a bit of cheeky shuffling. The more everyone was screaming, the more it encouraged me to be a knob - and I loved it. Next up was a taller girl who decided she would go for the more serious approach and do a more “seductive” kind of dance. While she had a bit of a reception it didn’t really compare - saying that we were both through to a final round which was a dance off. Of course - I took it upon myself, to take her out of serious mode and have some bloody fun. I danced with her, on her around her, and then chucked in a backwards roll… I won before I even knew. Now i’m hyped that was fun - now I can go back to my friends and carry on drinking, completely forgetting about the prize. Until, the guy approaches me and informs me that I have just won a scuba diving course at the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, Australia. I couldn’t believe it. For any of you that don’t know - google it. It’s just incredible and i’m really pleased.

So that folks was my first weekend/night in Queenstown, New Zealand and yes it was super eventful :)

Happy 2K17!

Hello! It’ been forever since i blogged. It’s finally 2017 now, so HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! (technically it’s 3rd January today, 3:17am, so I’m about 2-3 days late but that’s okay)

I have always wanted to share what I did for my 21st birthday last year, but my laptop decided to give up on me so here I am now, blogging from a friend’s laptop. (seriously, what would I do without her)

So for my big day, I went out all alone. Yeap, ALONE. I don’t really mind being alone, I’m not a clingy brat and I’d prefer some “me time” too, really. So I did a little shopping. I got myself a new bracelet, finally! My cheap Mickey & Minnie Mouse bracelet was giving up on me too! To be very specific, I got myself a Thomas Sabo Engraveable Bracelet, with “you can’t give up” engraved on it, and a “21″ locket charm to symbolise my 21st. Total costing me about $250, leaving me broke for the entire month of November :’) But hey, I survived!

Trust me I’d really like to post it on tumblr, along with all my other birthday presents that I’ve received but like I said, my laptop screwed up at the wrong time, so... I do have a pic actually, but it shows my cute toes hahahaha but its not a “tumblr-worthy” image anyway so I’d give that a miss. I could also post now to show, but its full w scratches now, bet you can’t see the engraving too.

I specifically choose that quote because yes, I am indeed obsessed with Thomas-Brodie Sangster, and this is one of his dialogues from a deleted scene. A scene in which he said to Dylan O’brien (in The Scorch Trials), “you can’t give up. I wont let you.” Pretty meaningful, don’t you think? I could have engraved the whole line if the space was plenty but its not, think I can only afford 18 alphabets haha. Thankful for this brand, the quote and everything, because it reminded me never to quit or give up, and also for letting me own a -something Thomas- (since I can’t own him) hahahaha!

On New Year, I went out with my boyfriend and his family to Universal Studios Singapore (USS for short) and to be honest, 21 years of living and that was my first time there. I went once for Halloween on 2015, but I couldn’t catch the rides so that wasn’t really my first time.

The first ride we took was my all time favourite; the Transformers Ride!! Mad mad love for Transformers, no idea why. Even my boyfriend thinks i get carried away with fictional characters. But it’s okay, it shows I enjoyed something so much right? (Is it even healthy or normal, anyway)?

Next we took the Jurassic Park ride. Like I said, it was my virgin trip, I had zero clues that USS has water rides. The ride is to sit on a 9-seater circle boat, so it spins as the currents pushes you through. I, out of 9 people, happened to be the UNLUCKY one, on MY FIRST TRIP, was the one who got soaking wet! Legit, I’m not even exaggerating! Syahrin’s sister got wet too, but i got DRENCHED. COMPLETELY SOAKED FROM HEAD TO TOE. My hair (that I’ve straightened, my top that I’ve ironed, my cute socks and shoes.... ) Its bad enough I didn’t bring spare clothes and shoes, to make matters worst, it rained, heavily! I did went to the dry pod to dry myself up, but it’s as useless as a cheapo hairdryer that takes forever and does nothing. Oh and not to mention, not only was my shirt wet, IT STAINED. I was wearing white on that day, and it got wet.... And dirty. Definitely not cool. (Boo). Also, it smelled. Smelled so bad like I haven’t bathe in a week. It was pretty crowded that day since it’s a holiday so imagined how insecure I was. Yes, I could purchase a shirt from the gift shop, but who would spend $30 on a plain “UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE” top? Sorry, not me. I’m broke af.

Afterwards we took the Puss in Boots ride. Also a 9 seater so we don’t have to split but I sat out on the corner so every turn makes it scarier! At this point the rain was still drizzling, so its not that bad. Puss in Boots is like a normal ride, Still thrilling, tho.

We managed to catch a Revenge of the Mummy ride, and that was CCC-RRRR-AAA-YYYY-ZZZZ-YYYY!! Insane! You name it! It’s bad enough the ride is indoor, and dark, and cold, but it has no seatbelts! All I had was a freaking bar in between my legs to grab and hold on tight to, and it was insane. Lit but insane! You move forward, backwards, and all the other directions you could possibly think of! My heart nearly stopped and came out of me, and I twisted my arms through the small gap on the bar to give myself extra security. Even that wasn’t enough.

By the time we stepped out of the Mummy ride, the rain was already heavy. USS doesn’t provide too many shelters, and their shelter space was small. Imagine about 80 people of all shapes and sizes, cramming under one small shelter, and some other people passing thru... Not cool. Nope. It rained for what seems like forever, so many outdoor rides had to stop, sadly. I really wanted to take the 2 outdoor Galactica rides. But luck wasn’t with me. It’s okay, perhaps next time.

The rain continued all the way and we braved through the rain to other shelters to find food, but Singapore is all about making money, and a regular hotdog bun with fries and a soft drink cost $13. No thanks. We took another boring indoor ride, the Madagascar ride just to kill time but the rain was still.... Heavy.

We managed to find another larger shelter and by then the rain has started to show mercy, so we managed to capture some pics. After all that, we left the place with the unsatisfied feeling of not being able to catch all the rides.

I’m guessing we went at a wrong time since it’s quite a monsoon season in Singapore right now, but it was a good experience. A good start to my 2017 really, cos days before 2016 ended, Syahrin and I talked about going USS and on 1st January, his mom decided to take us there. A blessing indeed. Syukran.

I believed things happened for a reason, and tho we couldn’t catch the other rides, I’m still thankful for this trip. thankful and blessed to have known Syahrin and his perfectly beautiful family.

Knowing Syahrin has definitly been my biggest blessing since 2013. His family is really accepting and perfect, and it’s with them I got to experience many “first time”. My first time to Adventure Cove, USS and many more. Thank you Allah, for giving me an opportunity to have known Syahrin and his wonderful family.

I can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store for me, and may it be a better year for me. In Sha Allah, Amin.

Till next time, xoxo.
