Won mistakenly called Kwan as "Bim" for several times during their date. It made Kwan upset without hearing the reason.

. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .. ⋅ ˚̣- : ✧

As they exit the restaurant, “So Bim…. Sorry… San mo gusto pumunta next? Hmm?” Won tried to hold Kwan’s hand but the latter walked faster leaving him behind.

Won was able to catch up. “Saan ka pupunta?” He asked.

“Uuwi na ako.” Kwan answered.

“Ha? Pero… Paano ang date natin?”

“Magdate kayo ng bim mo!”

Won can’t help himself but grin to Kwan’s remark.

“Akala ko ba uuwi ka na?” Won teased him as they were walking the opposite direction of Kwan’s home.

“Paki mo?!” Kwan went inside the 7/11 and grab some ice cream. When it was the latter’s turn to pay, Won suddenly gave his bill to the cashier.

“Ako na magbabayad..” The cashier gladly accepted the money. Kwan just sighed in defeat since he doesn’t want to cause a scene in the store.  As they keep on walking, Kwan found an empty bench at the park and took a sit.

“Galit ka pa rin ba? Sorry.” Won scooted over.

Kwan sighed, “Kausapin mo yung BIM mo…”

Won chuckled, “Oh? Ba’t tawang tawa ka diyan?”

“Eto nga.. kinakausap ko nga... pero galit naman sakin...”

“HA?” Kwan glanced at him with brows furrowed.

“Ikaw kasi si Bim...” Won locked eyes with the latter.

“HA?! Anong ako?! Seungkwan ang pangalan ko, hello?” Kwan averted his gaze.

“Corny man pakinggan pero bim stands for boo is mine…” Won stand up as he tried to hide his shyness.

Kwan felt thankful as Won wouldn’t see his silent battle of suppressing his laughter.  “E-Edi dapat kanina mo pa s-sinabi! Tsaka ba’t mo binabawi bigla kapag nag b-bim ka sakin?” He stood up and faced him.

“Kasi, I have no rights to call you bim.. ‘di mo pa ‘ko sinasagot. Naexcite lang talaga ako siguro sa date nato…” Won sighed.

Kwan intertwined his hand with the latter and said, “Saan ba tayo pupunta next, hmm?”

They looked at each other, eyes twinkling with delight..

Glasseater - Alone In The World (Punk Goes Acoustic Vol. 1)

Since day one you've been away And since then you've, you've made me stay Alone in a world where I'd like to hear The words of approval ringing in my ear Cuz I don't ask for much Yet I want it all.

I've gained nothing from this You want to see me fall But we will stick to our passions We'll keep playing far and away Alone in a world where I'd like to see The smile on your face which means security Cuz I don't ask for much Yet I want it all.

I've gained nothing from this you want to see me fall Don't live life by the norm in society Do what you have to do to keep you happy And what if it doesn't add up to them at all?

It makes sense to you, keep on, don't stall Don't live life by the norm in society Do what you have to do to keep you happy And what if it doesn't add up to them at all? It makes sense to you, keep on, don't stall

[X2] Cuz I don't ask for much Yet I want it all. I've gained nothing from this you want to see me fall [X2]

- ☁️

ang mahalaga, hindi lang ikaw yung nahirapan AHAHHA chz! ang mahalaga, tinry mo yung test vebs 🥹

sila yung papasok lang nang salon mo tapos tatambay lang sila dun habang nag gugupit ka nang customers mo tapos yung customers mo naman nakiki ambag rin sa chika niyo 😂

It’s a girl thing. 10.20.2018

Wala talaga kaming balak pumunta dito pero nagregister pa din kami para makakuha ng passes. Hindi nga lang kami umaasa na mabibigyan kami since pili lang pala yung mabibigyan. Kaya lang bigla tumawag yung manager ng Gracenote sakin, tinanong nya kung pupunta ba kami sabi ko hindi pa sure kasi wala pang passes. So ayun sabi daw ni Eunice eh kinakabahan sya sa even na yun (hindi kasi sya sanay sa mga ganong its a girl thing haha) kaya gusto nya makita kami don. Sabi ni sir pwede daw ako magsama ng isa (naisip ko e 8 kami) tapos sige dalawa na daw isama ko. Sabi ko e mahirap pumili hahaha so ayon bigay ko nalang daw names namin ililista nya kami. 6 nalang kami kasi hindi makakasama yung dalawa. 

Binalita ko agad sa mga frEaks yung paginvite samin, syempre nakakatuwa kaya G lahat kami. 1 day before the event, nagpaprint pa kami ng shirt na may mukha ni E syempre bida bida kami eh. Hahaha! 

Nung nasa stage na sya, alam namin na kinakabahan sya syempre hindi sya sanay sa mga ganong interview. Kasabayan nya pa si Dani Barreto at yung isa, basta pati kami kinakabahan. Kaya papansin lang kami don sa audience para mapansin nya kami. Hahaha. Nung sabay sabay na lumabas yung mga girls, hindi naman sa biased ako ha, nagstandout talaga yung ganda nya kahit katabi nya si Solenn. Hahaha! Mga vloggers karamihan nung guest eh, so parang naiiba talaga sya don.  Pero keri lang. Nadala naman nya at nakasagot sya sa mga tanong.

Nagperform din sila nung banda nya kaya lang 2 songs lang, bitin! Nung nahawakan na nya mic nya, ayun bumalik confidence nya hahaha. Syempre nakijam pa din kami kahit na hindi namin crowd yun. Sobrang sayang experience. Ang lamig kasi. Hindi kami sanay sa aircon. Hahaha! Sanay kami na lagi kaming pawisan kapag may gig/concert. Hahaha. 

After nung talk, may meet and greet pero sa kasamaang palad wala kaming passes para don. Nagpicture lang kami na hawak yung yung kwan. Bale pinapalabas na namin kami, syempre hingi kami tulong kay Sir. Sabi ko hindi kami pwede sa Meet and Greet, tas sabi nya “sige kayo nalang puntahan namin” Nakssss iba. Sarap ng feeling. Yung ikaw ang pupuntahan ng idol mo. Hahaha. Pero di din kami nakatiis, kasi tinawag kami. Nakalapit kami sakanya pero may barricade. Natouch sya sa presence namin at lalo na sa shirt. Ang saya lang kasi naappreciate nya kami.

Ang nangyari eh umulan, kaya pumasok ulit sa loob yung Meet and Greet, kaya nakisali na din kami. Yung kahit ilan beses na kami nakapagpapicture sakanya, sarap pa din ulit ulitin. With hug pa. Tapos bigla kami kumanta don ng When I dream about you, nakakahiya pero proud kami eh. Hahaha at nahiya din sya. HAHAHA.

Tapos pinost pa kami ng its a girl thing. Ay famous. Hahaha!

Ngayon lang talaga ako nagfangurling, sobrang saya at sobrang worth it ng Gracenote. Sulit lahat. Lalo na pag naaappreciate nila kami. Yung pag story at pagpost nya neto, sulit na eh. Kakakilig!

Additional na saya pa yung may nabuo kaming new set of friends na puro freak! Hahaha ittreasure ko yung mga to eh. Loving you guys! 

[haleyfury]

January was such a great start to my reading and watching lives. In short, I read A LOT and watched A LOT in January. Blame it on the spring semester not starting until halfway through the month and a four-day weekend spent binge-watching all the things.

I read 11 books in January. I’m really happy with my reading progress, considering my Goodreads goal of 75 and my personal goal of reading at least 100 books. Since I’m behind on publishing a few reviews, I’ll be changing up my wrap-up style a bit and be providing a quick summary of my feels for each book and TV show/movie.

Rich People Problems (Crazy Rich Asians #3) by Kevin Kwan | 4.5/5 Stars

This conclusion to Crazy Rich Asians was all the ridiculousness I expected. I can’t wait to see this series continued to be adapted on film.

 Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman | 4/5

While it took me about 75 pages to get into the story, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine was such an addicting read with tons of humor, cute moments, and depth.

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith | 4/5

Although it took some extra motivation to pick it up, I Capture the Castle was one of the easiest classic books I’ve read and really feels like a YA read. I also love owning the edition with Jenny Han’s foreword.

Severance by Ling Ma | 4/5

Severance was a quite, yet a powerful, apocalyptic read that really captured my attention.

Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak | 4/5

Bridge of Clay was another book this month that took me the first 75 pages or so to get into, but I loved how Markus Zusak interwove the family’s past and present. This really felt like an epic.

Love, Life and the List by Kasie West | 4.5/5

I finally completed one of my bookish goals by reading a Kasie West book! I read Love, Life and the List over a day. It was such a cute summer contemporary.

Imprison the Sky (Elementae #2) by A.C. Gaughen | 5/5

The sequel to Reign the Earth, Imprison the Sky was my first favorite book of 2019. Amongst many other elements, I loved the world-building and the romance so much.

This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills | 4.5/5

Yay for reading more books by new-to-me authors! This Adventure Ends has made Emma Mills one of my new go-to others. I love how much this book celebrated friendship and realistically captured the relationships.

Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee | 4/5

This fun, space-opera of a middle grade read was really fun, although I found myself a bit confused by the world-building.

Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy | 5/5 (reread)

I’ve been obsessed with Netflix’s adaptation of Dumplin’ since December, so it was time to reread the book. I didn’t realize how different some elements were from the movie, but nonetheless, I think I enjoyed this Dumplin’ even more during this reread.

My Real Name is Hanna by Tara Lynn Masih | 5/5

My Real Name is Hanna is such a vivid and beautiful book about Jewish life in World War II-era Ukraine and has really inspired me to pick up more historical fiction in 2019.

TV

Parenthood S1 & S2- I wanted a TV show that I could watch almost every night at school for relaxation, and Lauren Graham once again answered the call.

Derry Girls S1- Laugh-out-loud funny, never knew I needed a comedy set in 1990s Ireland

Instant Hotel– I needed a relaxing and fun show, so this Australian reality competition show about people renting out their homes was exactly what I needed

Brooklyn Nine-Nine S6-One of my all-time favorite TV shows has completely delivered so far, and I still can’t get over the perfection that is the Hitchcock and Scully episode.

American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace– As a Darren Criss fan, I knew I needed to watch the second season of American Crime Story. While I found the middle episodes to drag a bit, this story was so well executed and the cast, especially Darren Criss, was phenomenal.

Friends from College S2- I binged watched the first season over winter break, thinking it was one of those just okay/in-between shows type of show. However, S2 brought on so much more humor (I was cracking up especially during the first episode) and character & relationship development).

Movies

Black Panther– Very much worth the hype, excited to see where the sequel goes

Beautiful Boy– Very sad, very good.

Ladybird– It was about time I watched this very nominated movie, totally funny and deserving of the hype

A Star is Born– I have a friend who hadn’t seen A Star is Born yet and I more than gladly decided to go see it a second time. After being obsessed with the soundtrack since October, I found myself enjoying the music even more and I felt I understood certain plot and character elements more.

Little Italy– I love a cheesey rom-com (and not just for the pizza). I acutally wanted to see Little Italy when it was in theaters, so I was very happy when it turned up on Amazon Prime. Perfect for a cozy night in or a girls’ night.

Forever My Girl– Everyone needs a good romance once in a while, especially one about a country music star who finds out he has a daughter with his former fiancé.

What did you read and watch in January? Any of the above? Share in the comments!

I ATE ALL THE BOOKS & TV: January Wrap Up January was such a great start to my reading and watching lives. In short, I read A LOT and watched A LOT in January.

Hey, y’all! Long time, no post! Truth is I’ve been in a terrible blogging slump; the real world has consumed my life, so to speak.

To be totally blunt, I’ve had so much shit to deal with, even though I’ve wanted to write for ages, I haven’t been able to seem to get focused, let alone know what in the hell to write about.

Nicely, I haven’t hit a reading slump [yet] this year! *knock on wood*

So, I have PLENTY of reviews to write, some partially written, but I’m blanking on those too. Since I have such a strong desire to write, I’m just going to do it!

This post will catch you up on ALL the reading I’ve done since my last bookish update [whenever that was].

OK, so my line spacing is acting screwy and driving me crazy, so I’m just going to leave y’all with a nice LONG list of my reading escapades near the end of 2017 and this year!

At first ndi ako naniwala tas nanaginip lng ako kaya I banged my head on a wall 💀 Then nagstroll lng ako na parang lutang sa Encanto. THEN KWAN, NAKITA KO SI ISABELA TAS NAPASIGAW AKO THEN I REALIZED NA EVERYONE WAS LOOKING AND I DIDN'T HESITATE TO SAY MY SAFEWORD 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I scripted it out and tried again 😍

Everything was like, so real. I looked like some lunatic touching trees and grass. Since it was my first time, I only stayed there for only 1 week! When I got back, I was so happy I almost cried kase I had been trying to shift since 2019-2020
