DATING HIM - tangerine.

PAIRING tangerine x gn!reader

SUMMARY hcs of what's like to date the man, the myth, the legend; tangerine.

a/n: it's my first time writing hcs for a character so i hope it doesn't look weird or something! i merged two requests together to make it easier for me. happy reading! my reqs are open

the start of your relationship with him, even before the dating, was a rough road, to say the least.

with tangerine's secretive personality because of his job, it caused a lot of arguments. this results in lemon jumping in to save the day— honestly, the two of you owe him so much.

when the two of you aren't talking about jobs, he's usually sarcastic and teasing during conversations. tangerine eventually confessed that he did it to gain a reaction from you.

he confessed his love for you when you got caught in between the chaos of a job he and lemon had; the thought of you dying made him do so because to hell with a normal declaration of love, right?

if you were never involved with anything, it would've taken him at least a month or two to even realize what he feels isn't just "person-who-unfortunately-crossed-paths-with-him" type of guilt but actual infatuation.

angry confession, most definitely. as i've mentioned, you two argue a lot, so in the heat of a argument, he'd go;

"can't you see i'm doing this for your safety?"

"i'm a full grown adult, tan, why are you so worried for!?"

"because i fucking love you, alright? and if see any of those bastards lay a hand on you, i don't know what i'll fucking do to 'em!"

and he wouldn't be embarrassed about it after. you can hear lemon in the background saying, "about damn time!" 'cuz he knows from the very beginning.

tangerine would act differently the next day. "different" means just him being himself with you and finally expressing his true feelings for you openly.

in your case, ever since you met the man, you've been in love with him. at first, it'd be sexual (have you seen that man's walk?) but after getting to know him better, knowing all the bits and pieces of his actual personality from lemon, you'd catch yourself staring too deeply into his eyes.

the only reason you fought with tangerine in the first place was your need to get to know him and also let him know you're a person he can trust. as much as you liked every inch of him, secrets and lies left a bad taste on your tongue.

hanging out with them would be a reason for your involvement in their job. it's one of those cliches where the bad guys target the person close to their target so they can trap them. of course, you kept up your own fight.

when tan saw your injuries, he saw red. he didn't even think about the vast difference in your wounds compared to those of your captors. they'd have several bruised patches on their body, black eyes, etc., while you only had a bunch of cuts and a busted lip. lemon did tell you he was the type to shoot first and come with answers later.

in both scenarios, getting captured or in between arguments, after he confesses, you would be too shocked to answer him right away.

a few weeks into tangerine's unspoken courtship, when you confessed as well, your relationship with him was all like clockwork.

tangerine finally told you everything about himself, lemon, and the life they lived. all secrets were uncovered— he still kept some details, but it was enough for you.

expensive dates are on the table. as much as you refused to use so much of his money, tangerine would find a way to trick you into a fancy restaurant, saying it was for business, but after desserts with no businessmen approaching him, you knew it was all rubbish.

tangerine wasn't the only one who could afford expensive things; as a professional pianist, you also had a bit of money to spend on your boyfriend. when he refuses to buy new suits that are actually on trend, you'd go by yourself and buy them for him—he'd have no choice but to accept the bags of new clothes when they're already nearly placed inside his closet.

you shower him with compliments before he leaves for his job, wearing the suit you bought for him. he'd roll his eyes as he suppressed the smirk on his face. vice versa, he'd give you tons as well on both your looks and performance.

speaking of performances!

someone give this man a perfect attendance certificate; he's always present at your performances, whether you can ask him or not. he uses his "in a relationship with one of your best talents" ticket to get front row seats.

you would glance at the crowd to look for him, your eyes automatically scanning the front rows. you'd see him staring at you as if you'd created everything he's ever known. when he does notice your stares, he'll wink with a sly yet proud smirk on his face.

lemon's beside him, silently cheering you on.

he's the one you see first after going backstage, engulfing you in a tight hug and kissing your forehead.

"how was i?" you'd ask, with him answering with no hesitation. "amazing, as always."

tangerine may or may not have bought a whole grand piano in the middle of his and lemon's house so you can play or practice in their home.

there would be attempts by tangerine to learn how to play the piano with you. you were a great teacher, he reassures you; his hands weren't just made for all that grace.

in exchange, he'd bring you to a local shooting range. he brought his own gun for you to use, placing himself behind you as he guided the weapon in your hands. he purposely breathes on your skin, whispering inappropriate words in your ears as you press the trigger— that earned him a knock on the head after the session was over.

shorter ver hcs !

you didn't like holding grudges, but tangerine was there to hold them for you.

tangerine hates when people touch his hair, except for you, who give the best messages. he told you it was probably because of your profession that you got so good at working your fingers (several very mature jokes were made after that).

in the beginning, he always had his hair slicked back, but now he keeps his hair naturally curly when he's around you.

he nicks it, and you put it back.

lemon refuses to wear a bulletproof vest, saying something about a false sense of security, even with tangerine's scolding. but with you in the picture, he could only grumble to himself as he wore the vest underneath his suit.

he likes giving you forehead kisses or on your head, saving the intimate ones for private.

eye contact. unbreakable eye contact. he stares directly into your eyes whenever you talk or are just face-to-face with him.

your waist as his arm rest. he'd snake his hands around your torso, the proximity between the two of you lessening by the second.

you like fiddling with tangerine's rings, especially when he's wearing them.

you find it hot whenever he rolls up his leaves, and tangerine is fully aware of it.

he doesn't like admitting it, but he easily gets jealous. when another person smiles too sweetly at you, his arm will find its way onto your shoulders, using his height to his advantage. sometimes it would be a fan of yours, so you'd scold him for scaring them away.

as for you, you're open about your jealousy. unlike tangerine, it takes a lot for you to get mad at a person, let alone be jealous. but when they were a woman purposely resting her boobs on his arms or a man getting too friendly with him, you'd shoot them the sharpest glare tangerine ever saw you make. he voluntarily removes himself from the person and tries to calm you down.

when tangerine's angry, he's loud and aggressive. but when you are, you're unnaturally quiet and serious. lemon thinks you're much scarier than his brother.

Month three check in time. Things are still bad, just for different reasons for time 🫠

Previously I wrote about not knowing if lower surgery was the right choice for me anymore. I've been able to unpack those emotions with folks who have been in my situation, and I'm in a better place with my decision to go through with this. There's a renewed confidence in me that having a vagina will truly make my happier in my own skin.

Of course, i've still alluded to the fact the shit still sucks. While I do feel a lot more secure in my choice to have this surgery, i'm a lot less secure in how i'm going to pay for it.

The condensed version is that I am hemorrhaging money and draining my savings just to keep my head above water. I can't even blame the vacation I took in May, and certainly not the new pup hood I purchased- I budgeted properly for those and recovered financially pretty quick. Quite simply, my expenses are higher and my income hasn't really caught up. I started the year with about $4,000 put away, and I started my morning with $1,500. Less than half of what I started with.

Since my surgery has been approved by MSP, my fundraising goal was to have enough to fly myself and my husband out to Montréal, with a little extra leftover for post-op expenses. I'm eager to bring the hubby along with me since I don't have friends or family in Quebec and could really use the support of a loved one during all this. I'm not sure how I'll be able to get myself there now. My credit line is pretty good so I can put it on my Visa if worst comes to worst, but i've only just paid off the highest debt i've ever had and I'm not keen to kick off an even higher one. Plus, even though I have union mandated back bay coming up it's already several months late so it'd be unwise to rely on it being deposited before February.

They say that money can't buy happiness, and it's such a fib. There is not one problem in my life that wouldn't be solved with a sudden influx of cash. I was humming and hawing about creating a GoFundMe for my travel expenses, but honestly? At this point the charity of family, friends, and strangers is something I can't afford not to at least try.

Speaking of, if you can afford to do so please consider donating to my Ko-Fi. I haven't had much time to decorate the page in the same way I have with my other social media platforms, but if you like what I'm doing online or just want to see a trans person get the care they need the link will be below. Every little bit helps and is very much appreciated.

BLACK KURUNG

Salam and Hello 2023!

Too bad I didn't have time to write a recap for 2022. There are a few most significant and remarkable events happened in 2022 that I really wanted to write on you, ES. But I didn't. It's just that I can hardly find time to crack ideas in writing. As usual, calmness is the power in writing and for me, I always find it calm when it is raining. I will play my Spotify playlist and make a cup of hot drink especially coffee because there is something special about rain and coffee that makes me feel productive and blossoming. 🌸

You know what, it is raining heavily in my area now and I switch on my laptop despite taking shower this morning because I thought this is the time. This is the special moment that I can hardly find nowadays. A calm rainy morning with my galau playlist. I got a significant event that I really wanted to mark in this entry because this topic is ONE of the important and emotional issues that I always highlighted in my previous entries.

As we can see from the top image, I wore a black kurung and black heels and this is a random picture that I took before my interview session in October 2021. I dunno why but wearing black outfits when you go for an interview session is my thing. I feel more confident and confidence is a key to bring out the best version of you during interview session lahhh for me. This is my second black kurung and it was bought by M. Thank you sayang. And the heels was given by my colleague Jenny, and yeah I gave her RM1 (hahaha) for that because according to chinese belief, shoes are a bad idea for present because the word sounds exactly like a word for bad luck. So I need to gave her something to make it doesn't look like a present lah. Thanks J because she gave me the heels at the right time when I need it most (save money to buy black shoes because I don't have any).

Enough with explaining. The highlight of this entry is actually not about the outfits but my career. The one thing that I had been struggled with since after I graduated. I know for sure how many times did I ever felt down whenever people comment and asking me about my work. As if everyone in the world are doing their best except me myself. I always feel like the biggest failure in my family and amongst the rest of people living in this world. Some people are so judgmental and they didn't even try to put themselves in my shoes to understand how I have endured and struggled with low self esteem for years because of this kinda thing. It's just feel horrible for me to met these kind of people who could not think further and simply talk like they're the only successful people in the small unfamous village.

If only people can get over their show-off-ness and mind their own language. It took me few years to really get over the reality that all jobs are wonderful. All jobs are unique and priceless because we learn and we earn at the same time. The amount of our salary may varies but we didn't work for nothing and free. And if it's enough to cover our expenses then it is okay. It is really OKAY. I dunno why some people are very skeptical when I tell them I am doing okay and my job is fine.

Every time I meet these kind of people I will need to convince them that I have put much efforts into looking for a better job. And I have never failed at trying to find it. But some people will look at you as if you're just waiting for 'the moon to fall into one's lap'. I met some and it's kind of pathetic when I am trying to fake a response to those statements. I feel horrible by saying "Yes, I've done it many times. I'll try again next time", when inside my mind I would just like to reply them with "Yes, I've done it too many times and please mind your language because you dunno how difficult it was to pat my own shoulder whenever I failed into landing a job that I went for interviews". It’s saddening to see myself faking a response whenever I met those people. To be exact, those makciks. Hmm.

Back to the above image, this was the last and latest interview session that I attended to before I went thru a hopeless way in getting a nice job. I went thru many stages from online test to another online test to assessment and lastly the interview session itself. I told myself that I have a very slim chance to get it because I’m a nobody compared to the others during the iv session. Month after month after many months I waited for the result, it is always frustrating to believe that I am actually still hopeful on it. I gave up and feel hopeless many times. I was supposed to move on after many months of waiting but deep inside I still feel a little bit of hope because I really want to land for a new job instead of staying at the same office for another few years. It's just that maybe now is a high time for me to step out from the same place to a better environment for my mental health and happiness.

But who knows, one more month to make my waiting a year, I suddenly receive a call from a land line which I think just another person after person that will be asking me about work. After I took that call, I was kind of speechless, happy, blur and dilemma all muddled into one thing that we call a MIXED FEELINGS. I was told by the caller that I got a job offer from the interview session last year. But the sad thing about it is, the offer is not for Kuching office but Sibu office instead. I am still grateful for the call but what makes me dilemma is that the placement.

Alhamdulillah for the rizq. The concept is so beautiful. Everything that we get and eat unconsciously all this while are all written starting from where it starts until it was in our hands. It was always meant to be yours. I believe He gave us the rizq and chances all at the very right time. And this is the right time for me to land a new job.

So this is it. The end of my misery in career. The story might be different from what I thought it would be but just let the time flows and let me enjoy the moment. Happy Ramadhan!

The money thing (part 1/2) - Daniel Ricciardo

It's always the little things, isn't it? The smallest stupidest things make almost no difference and then make all the difference in the world. They make everything special, but they also have the power to tear everything appart.

You and Daniel fight about money for the thousand time and he's had enough of it.

Warnings: super angst, but with a happy ending :)

Guys, this turned out WAY BIGGER than I expected, so I'm just gonna do a part 2, okay? Okay, thanks for understanding!

Song that inspired me: A list by HVOB

You and Daniel had been dating for a couple months now, having met through a common friend and hitting off almost instantly. You lived in Amsterdam and he, well he lived all over the world really, but his "time off" (meaning not racing) was spent between Monaco and London (for work), and Amsterdam now too, of course.

The changes were small and subtle at the beginning, like your weekends being spent traveling to meet him wherever in the world he was and consequently spending almost all your savings on plane tickets. You never complained to him (you planned on spending the money traveling anyway, so you didn't see the point), but didn't accept when he offered to buy your tickets, either. There's been some awkwardness around the subject but it usually died on its own.

*beginning of flashback*

"You’d have gotten here in time if you'd gotten the early flight like I told you" you remembered him saying that time you got in the paddock after the qualifying session had begun and couldn’t kiss him good luck.

"Baby, I told you. It was crazy expensive! Absurd even!"

"(y/n) for god's sake! What are we saving money for? I told you, you have my credit card number, I've offered to get you one, this is ridiculous, I can't believe I literally earn millions and my girlfriend wasn't there with me because the ticket was too expensive! I'll fucking fly you private if I have to!" he was almost yelling in his driver's room. You could only stare from the corner.

He took a deep breath running his hands through his hair. "Sorry. It's just... it was crap out there. I needed you" you grimaced at his words.

"Sorry. I really am..." you tried to approach him. "I'm here now?" you touched his arm. "It can't have been that bad, you're still on the top 10 and we both know what you can do from the 8th car..." you smiled at him.

*end of flashback*

He started to spend much more of his time off with you at your place, so you decided to get a place by yourself (having a roommate was great for company and splitting the rent, but having a roommate there while you guys just wanted some much-needed privacy was not working). Then there were more traveling to meet him, furniture for the new place, clothing for all the events (GPs or not), uber rides here and there... all of that without mentioning that you weren't being able to get the freelance jobs you used to get to make some extra money, so yeah, to say things were tight was an understatement. You tried to do all your shopping alone, so he wouldn't offer and you wouldn't refuse or be awkward about it, but Daniel seem to be glued to you whenever you were in the same city (not that you’re complaining).

The thing is, you always had trouble dealing with money. Sure, you liked to pay for your own stuff so as to not owe anything to anyone (especially boys), but it was so much deeper than that. Ever since a kid, you hated asking for money from your parents, and sometimes even the thought of buying stuff that was a bit more expensive made you sick. You couldn't explain why, you just felt guilty having so much and knowing that most people have never even seen that amount. It's not that you didn't want to spend it and save for the sake of it, you just didn't handle the idea of money very well. Needless to say, dating a millionnaire was bound to cause trouble in the relationship for you.

You were currently at his place in Monaco. It was the summer break and you had decided to spend some days just chilling at home, just the two of you - which you were glad since going out means hair, makeup, clothes, accessories, shoes... and, let's be honest, the kind of places he usually took you is not the kind of places you just throw something together last minute (the Instagram models and other driver's girlfriends looking you up and down were enough to make you think about spending money you did not have to hire a stylist or something like that). The whole situation was really stressing you out and you knew you would have to be honest with him eventually, instead of only dodging the subject and refusing most of his offers to pay. You tried to. You kind of tried. You suggested staying at home, in bed, most of the time, and he gladly agreed, but that strategy wasn't gonna work forever. You had to be honest with him. But at the same time, you knew what he was going to say and do, and the thought of him spending money on you, even if just by handling the restaurant bill, wasn't something you were much more comfortable with. Besides, it was only a matter of time before the "gold-digger" term starts to fly around in the small world that was the F1's.

You were laying on his couch, the Olympics playing on the TV but you were too busy overthinking the money thing to pay attention. Daniel was laying with his head on your lap, absently caressing your thigh and watching the TV. His phone went off and he moved to pick it up.

"Hello?" you watched as he answered the phone. "Hey mate, how's it going? Uh nothing, we're just chilling at home. Getting some rest... Yeah, I'm getting rested, you dirty-minded son of a bitch" you rolled your eyes while he laughed out loud on the line with someone. "Yeah, I know... the 19th is it? No, it's fine. Yeah, yeah. I'll be there. Alright, mate. Thanks for calling. Have a good one! Bye!" he hanged up and leaned in to peck you on the lips.

"Good news?" you asked him.

"Not really. Just wanted to kiss you" he shrugged, smiling. You smiled back and hugged him, pulling him in for another kiss. He was always so caring with you, always finding an excuse to kiss or touch you. You knew some people didn't like it, but you loved it. Physical touch was definitely one of your love languages.

"What's happening on the 19th then?" you asked him once you guys set apart from the kiss.

"Gotta be in London. Gonna run some testings and other boring race stuff..."

"Hum..." you hummed in understanding.

"You know what would make it less boring though?" he asked and you just looked at him, you already knew what he was going to ask you and it wasn't that you didn't want to spend every minute of the day with him, but you simply couldn't afford any more traveling, especially not in such short notice. "If you came with me. Huh? What do you say? A week in the Queen's land? Then we can fly together to Spa and after the race, I can go with you to Amsterdam. The next one it's the Dutch GP anyway, I'll just get there sooner" he laughed. It was crushing you, the man of your dreams was literally beaming at making plans with you, talking about spending the next few weeks glued together and you couldn't say yes.

"Dan, I have to work" you smiled sadly.

"Can't you work from distance? Or, I don't know, I mean... I know it's tiring, but you could come to London and fly home a bit early, then just meet me in Belgium?" great, his solution includes even more flying. And the thing is, you really didn't mind the flying. You always slept during the whole thing anyway, so you never got tired and the jetlag was minimal. You could work from distance, sure. Your boss wouldn't mind, as long as you got there eventually to check in on everything. But the whole logistics were just too expensive. There was no way you could afford it.

"I... sorry, I don't think I can" you said sadly and watched as his face dropped.

"That's fine, baby. I get it. I'm asking too much, all this traveling... don't worry about it" he tried to mask his emotions but you knew better. He knew you could in fact work from distance, so he was probably thinking the reason you couldn't do it was because you didn't want to.

He got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen. Meanwhile, you couldn't help but bury your face in your palms. This was so frustrating!

"You wanna go for a run or something? Maybe get something to eat?" he called from the kitchen, already moving on from the subject. You knew this whole thing was only gonna keep build up till he got tired of your excuses or you blowing up, probably the former, but you just keep going.

"Yeah, sure" you answered, getting up from the couch.

You and Daniel were both very active so going for a run, hiking, riding bikes, or whatever in the middle of the day was really routine for you. The Monaco summer weather was as beautiful as always and the sun was shining bright. You enjoyed the rest of your afternoon racing each other, kissing in the harbor, and just taking in the views, spending quality time together. Money wasn't even a thing in your bubble for a while.

"I'm getting hungry" he said on the way back home.

"Me too, and I'm super hot. I could go for a juice or something right now" you were all sweaty from the running, but you didn't care, he was too.

"You're always hot baby, I don't think juice gonna help with that" he grinned at you and you just rolled your eyes at him.

You passed by one of his favorite spots for food, nearby his place and he suggested getting some take-out, to which you agreed.

"Green juice, and a chicken wrap?" you tried to decide while the both of you waited in line.

"I'll never understand how you drink that"

"I've seen you drink that too, it's actually very refreshing"

"Because I'm forced to, I'm a high-performance athlete baby. But I'm on a break, so I'll have a coke, thank you very much" you laughed at him. He was holding your hand and tried to kiss you, wrapping his arm around you, you didn't dodge his kiss, you would never, but still laughed at the fact he wanted to kiss the sweaty mess you were right now.

"I'm gross, only you" you laughed.

"That's my baby, with no makeup she a ten" he rapped shrugging and grinning.

"Alright Lil Wayne, I know that one, don't even finish the verse" you laughed at him, making him laugh out loud, getting everyone's in the restaurant's attention.

"It's true, though"

"Sure..." You just shook your head smiling. Then you heard someone call his name.

"Hey! Daniel!" you both turned around to see Charles and Charlotte sitting in a corner, him waving at you two. You had met Charles a couple of times before but never spoke too much to him. They seemed to be leaving anyway, so they walked towards you guys, instead of towards the door.

"Hey mate, how's it going?" Daniel greeted him with a handshake. "Hey, Charlotte! You know (y/n) yet?"

"Hi! I don't think so, hi! How are you?" she greeted you smiling.

"Hi! Nice to meet you. Hi, Charles!" you said.

"Hey, (y/n). You're keeping him in line during the break? Char won't let me cheat my diet either" he laughed.

"Oh, that ship has sailed long ago! Daniel will just roll into the paddock if it's up to him" you laughed back.

"Hey! I think I've earned the right to some extra calories, we've been working out extra hard lately" Daniel said waving his eyebrows suggestively, making Charlotte giggle, Charles rolls his eyes and you go even redder than you were from the actual workout, while he just laughed out loud.

"I don't even want to know" Charles said. "Always great running into you mate" he was getting ready to say goodbye.

"Are we seeing you guys tomorrow?" Charlotte asked you.

"Tomorrow?" you asked her.

"Stefano's birthday" she said like it was obvious. Stefano Domenicali was the President and CEO of Formula 1, but you didn't know that yet - still, her tone made it seems like it was someone Daniel knew, so you just looked at him. He just rubbed his neck, looking a little embarrassed. "Oh, wait. Please tell me I didn't just said something I shouldn't" she looked at Charles.

"No, no. He invited me. Us, actually" Daniel reassured her. "I don't think we're going though, forgot to mention to you" he said looking at you.

"Uh mate, I wouldn't skip that if I were you. He didn't even invite all the drivers I heard" Charles said. "Maybe just stop by to say hello?"

"Stop by... a yacht... at the sea?" Charlotte said grinning at him. Daniel looked at you.

"You feel like going? It should be fun" he asked you.

"Sounds fancy... I mean, I don't mind if you go" you said.

"Common... I’m not going alone" he nudged you.

"I don't even have anything to wear, Dan" you told him.

"Oh! We can go shopping together!" Charlotte said and you had almost forgotten they were still there.

"Perfect!" Daniel answered for you. You could only imagine the types of stores she shopped.

"Tomorrow morning, then? Daniel can text your address to Charles for me? I'll pick you up!" she was being really nice about it.

"I thought you wanted to go today?" Charles said.

"That's when I thought I would have to go shopping with you, so I could use the extra time since you're the worst shopping partner ever!" she laughed at him.

"Burn!" Daniel laughed.

"His fashion taste is not the most reliable, let's face it" she laughed and kissed his cheek. "It's a date then (y/n)?" she looked expectantly at you. You didn't want to let her down, it was so hard to make friends with the girlfriends of other drivers, they were usually so... not nice. You could always just help her and find something to wear in your own stuff later.

"Yeah, sure! See you tomorrow, at 10?" you said simply.

"Perfect!" she beamed.

I always thought province was the best place for someone to feel peace. You'll feel ease or burden once you reach on province and live the simple life you want. You'll feel the savor each moment. People living on cities might see their everyday routine very sophisticated. I was raise with Aengus by my beloved mother. I feel that there's nothing wrong. There's nothing missing part of me. At the young age I don't mind about part of my family that is missing by my side. All I know is I was just raise with my mother on my side and I'm satisfied with the everyday routine of waking up in the morning without my mother and being guarded by relatives to pick some sweet potatoes.

Years passes and I'm already having an idea about life. How is it hard to live in the province without safe source of water and stable connection of electricity.

I'm always eager to prepare and go to school. And suddenly our topic was about family. You'll see the excitement from other children telling a story about their family members. But I'm dumbfounded in emptiness trying to analyze in my mind why do we need to live in province alone while my sisters and my father living in the cities together living stable. I'm envious of them.

I return home from school with sulky mood. I feel like that time like I was happy living my life in province but I'm dreaming to live in city. But end up my thoughts with "wait, and don't drown out the idea of living in the cities better than province."

I'm confuse mom, can you please tell me what life await us in city?

You'll soon find out, she spoke.

This morning is full of good news for me but I think it's not for my mom but she also already miss my sisters and my father. She recieve a call early in the morning from my aunt's that we are going to live in city with them. I'm eager and nervous to see what's life beyond there.

We moved as early as possible to continue my study there. I was already 8 years old that time. At first couple of months, it was fine. Everything was fine. We live at rental apartment and we have to pay monthly for the bills. I thought it was easy to make and save money in the city. But I was wrong. I witnessed a strong fight with my parents. They arguing about money. I was crying inside my heart. I feel bad for our situation. My father's salary is not that enough for our daily expenses. I also find out that my two sisters are very work-hardened person to earn for their school expenses. I was envious about them at first but now I feel pity for them. Supposed to be parents are the one to provide for the needs of their children. My heart is in sorrow seeing our situation. I remember my life in province and see the big difference in my mind. We have witnessed many nights my parents fight to the point we need to stay the rest of the night with my grandma's house. My father was under influence of alcohol everytime he start a fight with my mom. He was a good and responsible father back then despite of my family status. I just can't get the point that instead of buying alcohol and cigarette, why don't he spend it buying more important needs. I was in grade school the time I was hope that one day we will be living with stable life. But I was pity them for not even attending grade school during their times. Reading and writing would be hard for them. That idea gives me hope to continue in dreaming. Family is someone that love you unconditionally in spite of you and your shortcoming. The rest of his siblings attain different degree's and have their stable jobs except. Caused them to pity him. Though he's not asking for their help because it could be scold before they give. We choose not to talk even though we feel inadequate. I know my parents try their best to give us the life we want. I was now learning about contentment in life.

He's was brave as hero's. It was 12th of June year 2016, I count him my favourite hero. I never thought about comforting others during their sorrowful moments until we receive it from others. I was just crying that before big tragedy happen to my father that night, he was trying to look for me. His last words marks at my memories and in my whole life. "asan ang mahal kong bunso". Everyone was busy preparing for the first day of school but I was loosing my strength witnessing our house getting easily consumed by fire because it was made of wood. I'm not able to hug him for the last time. I'm not able to show myself for the last time. I regret the days I was not able to said that I love him and I'm proud to be his daughter despite of our life. I often see him as iresponsable and abusive but I never see his effort as a father and a husband to my mother.

This song remind me of the good things we will never repeat again but we can treasure the moment. I miss him everytime I play this song. This reminds me the memories we have when he was still living. Goodbye is the hardest part to say but I know it was part of God's wondrous plan for his children.

If and only if I he's still alive, I will hug him. If and only have we have chance to appreciate him, we'll show him. If and only if I have chance to be with him again, I'll cherish the moment.

We only regrets things we didn't do and the chances we didn't take. It is hard to understand life looking forward we only understand them looking backwards.

Literary Elements :

You'll feel the savor each moment. (Imagery)

I was raise with Aengus by my beloved mother. (Allusion)

My heart is in sorrow seeing our situation. I remember my life in province and see the big difference in my mind. (flashback)

If and only if I he's still alive, I will hug him. If and only have we have chance to appreciate him, we'll show him. If and only if I have chance to be with him again, I'll cherish the moment. (Anapora-)

Hey! So in one of your posts i saw u say sth about budget and meal planning. Can you share tips on that? I'll be living in my own place this sept and will take any advice. Thanks❤️

Hey! Thanks for the question!

Firstly, I can possibly answer the budgeting bit better since I’ve already done that for my own shift to the US this fall. For meal planning, I’ll let you know how I’ve seen other people do it, as well as a website I know I will use when I shift there.

Also, I’ll give this list from the perspective of an International student, but it would be more or less similar for everyone.

So, I’ll break this up into two parts.

Budgeting

There are two things to remember about your shift- one is that you need to budget your first month, settling in money. And second, you will have to budget your initial months as well.

Initial Budget

Focus first on your initial move in- do you need furniture or is the place furnished? If not furnished (like mine), you can check an IKEA (or an IKEA equivalent) and pick out your furniture.

When looking at furniture, make sure you know what your essentials are. I think I mentioned in another post that I am buying the bed frame because I know I will not buy it later. Personally, if your kitchen already has a fridge, the only things you really need are you bed and your desk and chair.

A dresser could also be considered an essential, depending on you, but if you want to save on this end so you can spend on something else (like me), then go ahead and live out of your suitcase for a bit.

Make a list on IKEA- that is what I did. I looked at all the things I could possibly need and kept it in one place for me to buy. This also means you will consciously check the prices, while lets you figure out your furniture budget.

Once the easy bit is out of the way (seriously this was the easy bit), start looking at your other needs. For example, India is a pretty warm country, and my city (while one of the better ones in terms of weather) would not need the same type of wardrobe as Seattle- eg. windcheaters. I would suggest you go ahead and buy this in the country you will be moving to, UNLESS YOU HAVE A DECATHALON.

Okay, sorry, brief side track but this could be useful- I went to a decathalon day before expecting to just buy some track pants and come out. But guys, I found windcheaters and warm clothes as well, and please go check your sports stores just in case they have stuff, because while it is hot right now in India, I still found something for cold weather!

Other than clothes and furniture, you may have a few other needs- for example, I’m going to be trying to go paperless during my PhD (trying beign the key word) so I am accounting for the money required for an IPad and an Apple Pencil.

If you are shifting a few days before your lease starts, you will either stay with a friend or at a hotel. Account for these costs, as well as the cost of daily expenses like food, grocery and travel- even if you do not use them, account for it.

Have a safety amount set for emergencies. You may not need to use it, but keep that on top of an additional buffer.

Also add, on top of all of this, the rent of your first and second month, just in case.

Assume the worst. Over-budgeting, in my mind, is better than under-budgeting.

Figure out what your city’s discount stores are, or what the cheapest options are. You don’t need to buy at Zara if you can get what you need, for example, at a Target. Know what you need and stick to it till you’ve settled down.

One last thing to add for the initial budgeting is this- if you are going to be getting stipend, check what the pay cycle is like. This will influence the second section.

Budgeting in general

What is the amount of money you will have, either as an allowance from your parents, your stipend, whatever your source of money will be. Be sure you know this before hand.

If you have found your accommodation- which I suggest you do before you do your budgeting (or at least know how much you are willing to spend on rent). What you have left is the amount you have to theoretically spend.

Plan your meals on a weekly level. This means you will only buy the groceries you need.

For the sake of your health- don’t buy too many freezer meals and pop tarts and the like. They add up in many many ways.

Have a go to, cheap snack item every month that you make a planned purchase. Like, for example, say you decide you want to keep cookies at home. Don’t buy them, make them. This means you will have the raw material to do this for a while (because the packets of flour and all are big) or you may already have them on hand. Also, it’s a great way to destress and just stop thinking about school for a while.

Always keep a certain amount as your saving set and some as a safety set.

Let’s say, for an example, that the amount you will have at the start of any month is 3000. Break this up into your rent money and your general use amount. Let’s say rent is 1300. That means you have 1700 left, right? No. That 1700 will be broken up into, for example, three parts. Let’s say that after your rent, you will keep 500 as savings, 800 as your general spending allowance and the remaining 400 as your safety net.

This amount can change over time, because knowing what your budget needs to be depends on your city, the cost of living, what you like to do or cook, etc. Keep this a little open for the first quarter and take your time understanding what works for you.

Meal Planning

Okay, here goes.

Firstly, know what food you like. There are so many ideas online about what you should do when meal planning, but personally, not too many of them make a lot of sense for me, as a person, given my habits. I don’t like protein powder. I’m okay with smoothies, but I’m used to eating full fruits. I like savory breakfasts, given that is what I am used to, rather than sweet ones.

Understand what you like and don’t. Then you can work out what works for you.

If you are someone who likes to eat while they walk to class vs a person like me, who likes to sit in one place and eat in peace. These are, in my mind, important to understand before you meal plan, or you will spend a lot of money to eat kale, hate it, and then hate it even more because you spent unnecessary money on this. All round misery.

Also see what food your family makes on a general day to day basis and check what can be made in advance and eaten over days, or prepped in advance and then just quickly cooked.

For example, I can make rice and keep it for a few days. Or I can buy dosa batter and keep it over the next 2 days and just make it for a few meals in a row.

Lastly, this is the one blog I consider my guru- the one place to get whatever ideas I want. I am not a cook. I have never cooked in my goddamn life and the most complicated dish I can make is Khichdi, which is basically throwing a bunch of things in a pot and hoping for the best.

So I have no clue what lasts how long, probably would not be able to figure out what had gone bad either.

BUT. This is one blog I found that gives you all that information! PICK UP LIMES.

Sadia has a youtube channel too, and she is a dietician and a vegan. Her food feels very similar to the food we make at home, so I’m pretty psyched about her blog. If I need meat dishes, I can always just go to Tasty, but Sadia’s blog is basically my Bible.

And, she gives clear indications of how long each dish will last in your fridge, which basically means to me that I can cook for all my meals for the next two days at one shot. She also has a bunch of options that are great on the go.

Give her blog a try and let me know if it helped! She also has a grocery list that you can use if you sign up for her newsletter and updates, which is super helpful given I’m just starting out.

I may do more posts on meal planning and budgeting and other concepts as I go through my first few weeks in Seattle, come September, but I hope this helped!

I'll send you Jancy for the ask cause I want those feels all the time :)

for both anons that requested jancy :) so sorry i forgot this was in my inbox!!

Gives nose/forehead kisses: Jonathan, simply because he’s taller than Nancy and will reach down to kiss her whenever & where ever he can.

Gets jealous the most: Wouldn’t call it jealousy perhaps but Jonathan definitely notices how guys look at Nancy. He’s constantly worried he’s not good enough for her while at the same time being fiercely protective over her that it leads to jealousy. When Nancy notices, cause she always does, she grabs his hand or kisses him or something to bring him out of his own head and let him know she only has eyes for him. (Nancy also gets jealous too, but it happens way less often simply because people don’t notice Jonathan. Whenever she does see girls stare at him though, she gets pissed and if she doesn’t make a show of making out with him that she’ll later get picked on for, she sends absolute daggers anyone’s way.)

Picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive: Jonathan, especially when Nancy promises she’ll be good and only have a couple drinks with her friends. then at midnight he gets a call from a payphone and Nancy’s friend is on the line telling him their location, all while Nancy whines in the background about how she wants to talk to him and misses him and tries to grab the phone away.

Takes care of on sick days: Jonathan’s used to taking care of Will whenever he came down with the flu, so the day Nancy comes home with a cough and whines the next morning how her throat hurts he’s already cooking soup and piling her in blankets. She looks up at him with wide eyes and tells him to go away and that he’ll get sick too but he just shushes her and holds her hair back. When Jonathan gets sick a week later Nancy is so frustrated cause she stayed as far away as possible from her sick family members, she makes soup and he has to tell her when to take it off the stove but it’s okay because all he needs is her to be there and she is, just like how he was for her.

Drags the other person out into the water on beach day: Nancy without a doubt. It’s a trip itself just to get him there, much less take off his shirt and join her in the water. But with lots of coaxing and batting her eyelashes she eventually gets him to join her, pulling him behind her by his hand.

Gives unprompted massages: Nancy, when she notices he’s particularly sore after work or something, will pull him into her lap and demand he sit still while she massages him. Whether or not she’s very good at it is a different story.

Drives/rides shotgun: It always has been and always will be Jonathan driving and Nancy riding shotgun. Even when she learns how to drive completely, she much prefers riding passenger as much as Jonathan enjoys driving. It eventually turns into you-know-something’s-wrong-with-Jonathan-if-Nancy’s-the-one-driving situation.

Brings the other lunch at work: Nancy. It started off to be nice and cute, but ever since she found out Jonathan eats less so his family can have enough, or he’s working all day and won’t eat again until dinner, she’s sure to bring him something to eat and is happy to sit on the counter with him while he eats it. (His coworkers never let him live it down either. It started before she was his girlfriend and he used to profusely deny they were together but nobody believed him. “Didn’t you punch the guy that called her a slut on the board outback? And now she brings you lunch…but just as a friend?” “Yes!”. But then she started brining him lunch and kissing him and everyone was like “We knew it Byers!” “It’s n-not like that, we were just friends-” “Why’d you lie to us for an entire year?!”)

Has the better parental relationship: Honestly depends on the parent, but neither one of them have great relationships with their fathers to say the least. But Jonathan, obviously, when it comes to his mother. Besides herself, Nancy knows theres no one else he admires and respects more and it goes both ways. And honestly, Nancy feels much closer to Joyce than she does to her own mother sometimes. When she finally starts getting referred to as “my daughter-in-law”, it feels completely natural.

Tries to start role-playing in bed: Nancy goes blonde in college when she brings it up, eyebrows arched but completely understanding if he’s not into it. They try it out before they both decide they like being themselves better.

Embarrassingly drunk dancer: Jonathan. He’s an adorable drunk. He rarely ever gets drunk because of his general disregard for alcohol thanks to his father but when he does he’s incredibly affectionate and will pull her into him at any given moment and kiss her nose, neck, shoulder, really any skin he can. And on the also rare occasion they play a song he likes (he’ll never admit sober he loves ABBA as much as Nancy does), he pulls her up without warning and tries to dance but it goes horribly and Nancy has to stop laughing long enough to beg him to stop.

Still cries watching Titanic: Nancy, although she’d deny it to her last breath to preserve her tough-as-nails reputation. However, Titanic makes the cut on her list of tear jerking movies and Jonathan’s the only person in the world who knows that about her. He also knows if she comes home after a really bad day to put it on for her without asking and pull her into him, let her curl up on his chest, and let her cry it out.

Firmly believes in couples costumes: Nancy. It’s always been an adorable couples thing to do together to her and Jonathan, who rolls his eyes and grumbles every year how he doesn’t even want to dress up, gets roped into it with wide eyes and kisses and ultimately how happy she looks when he says yes.

Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas: Generally, Nancy. She comes from a family that has money anyways so she never understood why it was such a big deal to Jonathan to have that rule in the first place (it’s not like she cared he couldn’t buy her fancy things), she just wants him to have nice things. So when he shoots questioning eyes between her and the camera in his hands their very first holiday as a couple, she only bats her eyelashes. “Oh, you were serious about that rule?”

(Jonathan also breaks that rule but its way less often, and Nancy always gets pissed because she knows how hard he works for his money. He always feels bad he can’t get her something nicer, despite all the things he’d gotten her from saving up his cash on the side, so when some years are tighter than others he gives her a look and is sure to beg her to actually follow the rule this year. )

Makes the other eat breakfast: Nancy, again coming from the fact she knows Jonathan will silently starve so everyone else can eat. Nancy makes a habit of grabbing his hand and nudging his plate towards him, giving him a look that demands him to eat. On mornings they’re running late she’ll shove a piece of toast or granola bar in his mouth and drag him hand first out the door. “Nance what about yo-” “I’m not hungry.” “Shut up, yes you are.”

Remembers anniversaries: They both do, obviously, but Jonathan’s the one really remembering - getting up earlier than usual to cook her a nice breakfast or bashfully giving her flowers he picked up (surprisingly, she notices, never roses). Nancy thinks its the sweetest small gestures in the world and does her best to do little things, more than usual, for him like framing her favorite photos of his or making him a mixtape.

Brings up having kids: Jonathan, even through his own reservations and father issues still thinks about it. He completely takes her off guard, although it really shouldn’t - they’ve been together long enough and it’s honestly just a “where do you see us?” conversation at first. “Staying in New York? Would that work if we…uh, wanted to have, uh, kids?”. She’s completely floored for a second before she’s sputtering out she honestly never thought about it, and Jonathan grabs her hand and starts to apologize before she shakes her head. She’s always been terrified of ending up like her parents at the end of a cul de sac with three kids and a 9-5 job she hates that she hadn’t entertained the idea but once it’s in her head she has to, they have to, come to a decision. They stay up all night talking before Jonathan kisses her forehead at 4 am and says “No matter what happens, we’ll always be the coolest aunt and uncle.”

#jancy #full disclosure i had this 2/3 done & then moved to school & then did the ask meme yesterday & found this. ik its no excuse but i am sorry!!#i went extra on answering these so maybe that makes up for it ??#OTP: definitely you #st #headcanons #anon #jancy headcanons #jonathan x nancy #long post

You may find this post random and cliché. Some may find this entry a corny one. Others may think this is just an ordinary thing. But for me, this is me flexing my man.

Monthsary gifts are not our cup of tea. Its more like, I'll buy this for you because I know you'll like it. Whatever day, whatever time and IF we have extra money. Close friends knows that we are saving up for a house that is why money is a big issue for us because we are minimizing our expenses. Monthsary dates are really not our thing too. Most of the time, 8th day of the month falls on a weekday. We are not living together and we have our own work in our own cities so we just chat our usual monthsary messages. If we are lucky and it falls on a weekend, that's the time we celebrate it by spending time with each other. We are just some plain old and boring random couple you can find in the society. But the thing is, I find this guy so snob yet so sweet. I usually post stories how he ignores me and often play with his mobile games. Or how he snobs the hell out of me whenever I want to annoy him. He is just like that. So boring. So plain.

And yet, he loves me. He updates me everyday. Every morning even if I'm still sleeping. I wake up with message with just a plain good morning text. He will send a message during his break time just to check me out - plain how are you messages. And during lunch time - just asking if I ate already and what did I had for lunch. Small chats if he's busy and long conversation time if we are discussing something important. He updates me when he is about to go home and when he got home. That's the time he tells me about his day. A call about an hour is considered long enough. He needs to de-stress himself so he play games. And chat me again before he goes to sleep. And then we call it a day.

He loves me. He doesn't shower me with gifts. But when he gives me one, he makes sure I super duper like it. And it really shows effort. The effort of spending money for it, the effort for the raw package (you see, he only use what is available), the effort of giving me the gift (cavite to taytay) and the face he makes whenever he gives it to me. Those butterfly kisses afterwards and a tight big koala hug after. He doesn't tolerate my "bub, let's buy this" but he always ask me what I want to eat. He gives in to my cravings once in a bluemoon because he finds me annoying. He doesn't like my spending habit so he taught me how not to spend. He doesn't like my bad bitchy attitude so he always ask what is wrong and if it doesn't work, he'll talk to me after few hours when I calmed down. He points out what is wrong with me and still assures me he loves me nonetheless. He loves me even if I love Jung Hae In and Kang Ha Neul more than him. At the end of the day, it's still him that I always hug. It's still him that I always kiss and it's still him that I will always love.

He loves me at my lowest points. He loves me even if I'm the craziest bitch in the room. He loves me even if he sees me crying over drama, movie, spilled milk and random clumsy moments. He loves me even if I break down infront of him about just anything - unwanted thoughts, anxiety, depressive worries and how bad my day went. He loves me in my messy clothes days, in my bad hair days and in my ugly self moments. And his mere presence comforts me.

And yes, I super love this guy. I love him even if he snobs me most of the time. I love him even if he doesn't call every night. I love him even if he annoys me most of the time just because I got no reaction from him. I love him because he does not spoil me the way I want but he spoils me the way he see fit. I love him because he loves me more than I love myself. I love him so so much that I am crying while typing this entry in the middle of the day, May 12th. Crying because its so overwhelming how someone can love you in a very unique way. Overwhelmed because I actually don't know what have I done to deserve this kind of love. And honestly, I don't recommend finding a guy like him because he's mine. There is no guy like him.

So if he reads this entry, please tell him not to get tired of loving me 😉

Happy valentine day aka both the lovey dovey holiday and our bday bpy himself, I saw your gifset and 100/10!! Amazing work, please frame that gifset in a museum pronto!! It sounds like your valentine's day was fun ^_^

But yes I am from Chicago haha, it doesn't seem fancy to me being in Chicago with how expensive downtown can be at times (but then again, when is downtown in ANY big city not expensive?) But it is a lovely place nonetheless, granted don't come now because its cold like the northpole xD but very much recommended the spring time personally! I do hope you have the chance to come to Chicago when things calm down

Ooohh same lol, I can do my nails like a pro but eyeliner ??? I struggle lol. I watched videos on tips but I still can't figure how to not stop my hand from shaking =/ (if any of your followers know a trick do share! Help this noob anon out, i will pay with cookies!) I can do it decent line but its always thick for some odd reason lol. It starts off good in the beginning with a nice thin line but then I go full raccoon mode xD I have big eyes as well so technically not good for my eye shape but it is what it is haha. I do prefer pencil since its easier but I do enjoy the liquid eyeliner look. My current makeup look is eyeliner, mascara and some lip product. I do eyeshadow if I want to be fancy haha but for sure need to look into getting some better products. The ones I do have my eye on are nyx because we love a good mix of free of animal products and cheap, bare minerals is nice as well as well as color pop! For the pricier end fenty and rare beauty are on my list (especially rare omg the lipstick shades are so, so pretty! Especially the color you mentioned ^0^) but ooh we love pinks and orange shades! We love the soft, spring romantic vibes! For me. I like a bit of everything but i do find myself leaning into red, pink, orange shades with a mix of dark tones like a dark wine shade or even black djaksja. My favorite lippie i own is this beautiful orange/brown color? Idk if that is the right way to describe it but it is a pretty color! Jdkandks @ that large lipstick collection, respect haha. I enjoy the old school lip gloss look because i like pretending to feel like an Bratz doll lol.. bb creams are good and I may go with one in the future since it seems a good product to use if you don't want to dive into foundation and such c:

Now skin care wise, I agree! Not all pricey products are better. You can find good products for half the price that works for your skin! It is a trail and error sadly but eventually you will find something that works best for you c: and ooohh i think i have heard of those brands! I'll look at them later to see what they have so thank you for the suggestion!! Lol maybe that's a good thing the brand isn't around where you live xD but true, it is best to not continue with using the products so I will sadly throw them away. I feel bad since I did spend money but if it isn't doing me good skin wise well why ruin my skin more? Garnier is great for sure! I love their micellar water so I may invest in some of their other products! When I will do that, not sure because my parents are a bit strict when it comes to makeup/skin care stuff *sigh*

Oof I do feel like there have been alot of romance plots so we do need a break with some other plot ideas like a good mystery drama for example like let me feel like Sherlock when watching the episodes haha. But ahh it be like that xD sometimes you start off watching a video or two and then you are spending half the night watching funny edits of nct lol and idk how he can be calm like jaehyun is so calm in the most chaotic moments. Like he didn't even flinch when the boxes exploded in nct world!! Teach us your calm ways jaehyun. But I do love his dad ways from the humor he has or his dad sneeze (I will admit some fans do take the "jaehyun dad" narrative a bit too far sometimes or maybe its just me? Thoughts love?)

Oof until april!? Oh no D: I hope the numbers slow down during then, sending good vibes to your family as well during these times! You also stay safe! As for me, yeah just have been staying inside. Not much to do sadly but I'm being well fed with kpop so not complaining haha

Hey hey! How was your week/days so far since Valentines?

Well I had a lot to do and I was mainly busy with work (once again). I am remodelling/redecorating my room as well and I still have lots of plans on it, let’s see how the things end up because I will do it all alone (wish me luck).

Happy you loved that set and I hope you will anticipate my Ten set as well (it’s a secret, not secret anymore but I still haven’t started with it yet I have lots of notes and ideas saved, I just need the courage and time for it).

Oh yeah I knew it hehe as far as I know Chicago looks very modern and seems a bit luxurious, indeed should be a bit expensive in the downtown, but even in my country, downtown is something I usually avoid for hanging out because it’s super super pricy.

I came across a few fun videos on tiktok and there was a girl doing her eyeliner in one go, like less that 1 second and I was like?? she’s not from this world. I had the chance to try my new bb cream and corrector from nyx and so far I love it, it doesn’t feel heavy or itchy on my skin, also knowing it’s cruelty free, it’s something that stands on my top buy makeup brand list. I used to love lipgloss when I was a child/teen, but not anymore, I wear my hair down and if go out. Forget about it, especially since I live in a windy area. And now with masks I can only wear a no-transfer lipstick or simply lip balm. A brand I think I will try soon will be Cerave, I heard only good things about it and Wayv also promoted it in the past. At that time the brand wasn’t available in my country, now it become quite popular and if the lockdown ends next month, I’ll go to a pharmacy to test the products and (hopefully) buy some.

As for my drama experience, I started to watch Vincenzo since it’s on Netflix it’s much easier to watch but I didn’t expect the whole comedy twist, I thought that drama was based on a dark-crime-mafia plot, yet I was once again fooled by the trailers. Anyway he looks sooo good for his age, I thought he was in his twenties, just wow! We’re a decade apart, and man! he looks so young, maybe even younger, insane! I should drink more ginseng tea for infinite youth haha Anyway the drama is a stay because I love him so much, he is a very talented actor and hopefully the plot will change as the history will go on.

About Jaehyun and that dad narrative, well yes. Things go out of hand for everyone else not only for him, especially in cases when these words are shoved right into their faces, I would never dare to comment anything like that under their social media or even on personal-interactions, it just seems uncomfortable on many levels. If someone looks hot and sexy, this is what he is and this is what we call them for, magazines and articles describe idols a lot these days with these words and that is ok because it means they have an attractive image that everyone wishes to have or achieve, yes I do get jealous sometimes even if they are men so 😂 but those type of whatever role-playing words, no, niet, nein, não, non. Out of question.

Meanwhile a few comebacks happened and I was excited for it, Shinee’s title song is sooo good and I love the savage lyrics. The rest of the album is also amazing, I have like 3 top favorites. Now I am waiting for Wayv comeback that will happen soon, hope SM won’t disappoint with another low-budget MV, I know we are in a pandemic situation rn but even inside the box, a MV can look stunning. SM take notes from “Make a Wish”, that was simply beautiful and almost everything was shot indoor, stunning effects I want to see again.

And I don’t think I had the chance to ask you, how did you like 127′s Japanese album? I love all the songs and there is non I skip when I play the whole album. I love how different hits from their Korean albums, there is something alluring about it, well the lyrics also suggest that so- I couldn’t miss that huge album that looks like an A3 portfolio so I already ordered one, hopefully by the end of the March I’ll get my hands on it, I can’t wait because the pictures are simply stunning!

Hope so far you have been fine, stay healthy and take care of yourself, and hope to hear from you back soon ❤️
