👆 My son asked me : Mom, Do you know who's he? then he told me that ~

日本職棒名星選手-大谷翔平 Shohei Ohtani／おおたに しょうへい 

(b. 1994) 他目前效力於美國職棒大聯盟洛杉磯道奇，主要擔任投手及指定打擊（即投打「二刀流」） Los Angeles Dodgers – No. 17

He is a Japanese professional baseball pitcher and designated hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB). Nicknamed "Shotime".

My son is a chemical engineer at LCY GROUP in Taiwan. He called me two days ago and said: Mom, he got a promotion and a salary increase, so he took me to eat, go shopping, and buy ice cream to go home and enjoy. lol (He is a very pragmatic big boy who never dreams. Maybe because he is a child of a single parent, because they have experienced many human relationships with me, inculded up and down in life since they were young, so they mature very early. Fruits were pulled from the tree before they were ripe. hahaha) In fact, his company is not as profitable as in previous years in general this year, but he is lucky. He is the only one in his department at the Kaohsiung factory who has been promoted and received a salary increase.

We chatted and laughed about all kinds of topics. I am really lucky. God has given me two children who are smart, independent, sensible and gentle. Of course he also gives me dividends lol I like and appreciate that every time he takes the initiative to give me money, I always see the light of accomplishment and love in his eyes ~ shining like stars in the sky! 🙏 Thank God!

Although "it is more blessed to give than to receive". But there is another deeper understanding, especially for some people with strong self-esteem. Sometimes you have to learn to meekly "accept" gifts from those who love you in life.

我的兒子是台灣榮化集團(LCY GROUP)的化材工程師，前兩天打電話跟我說:媽媽，他升職加薪了，所以他帶我去吃飯、逛街和買冰淇淋回家享受。lol (他是個相當務實，從來不會作夢的大男孩。可能因為是單親的小孩，因他們從小就跟著我經歷許多人情冷暖，所以很早熟。果子還沒熟就從樹上拔下來了。hahaha) 其實今年他的公司總體來說並不如往年利多，但他很幸運，高雄廠在他的部門只有他一個人被升職和加薪。

我們聊天又笑呵呵的各種話題無所不談，我真的很幸運，天主賜給我兩個既聰明獨立又懂事溫順的孩子。當然他也分紅給我 lol 我喜歡也感謝當他每次主動地給我錢時，我總會看到他眼中充滿著成就感和愛的光芒~像天上星子閃爍著! 🙏 感謝天主!

雖然『施比受更有福』。但另一種更深的認知特別是對於一些自尊心很強的人而言有時你要懂得學會在生活中柔順地"接受"從愛你的人的施予。

今の恋人に恋してから2ヶ月。ずっと捨てられる妄想で病んでは回復して、を繰り返していた私ですが、先日恋人に会った時

僕も好きと言ってもらえたこと。（僕も好きやでと言われたのが嬉しいし可愛いしで飛び跳ねそうになった）性交についてかなり高評価のレビューをいただけたこと。旅行行きたいね、それはまたいつかねなど私のいる未来が当たり前のように想定されていること、を急に思い出し、本日仕事中ずっとその喜びを噛み締めていました。今まですぐ捨てられるかも！秒で愛想つかされるかも！やり捨てられるかも！とか言ってたけど　冷静に考えたら一回り近く年下で、ちゃんと働いていて、ビジュもある程度刺さってて、ちゃんと攻めもできる挿入も気持ちのいい女なんて捨てるわけがないよね？？　　恋人今も遊び人だと思っていたが、ここ数年めっきりモテなくなってしまったと言っていたので、ましてやアラフォーがこんな好条件な女を手放す必要性はこれっぽっちもないよなと自分に自信が湧いてきたという話。また自信がなくなった時見返すようにメモメモ。

“Seninle olmanın en güzel yanı ne biliyor musun? Elin elime değmeden avuçlarımı terleten sıcaklığını taa içimde hissetmek...

Seninle olmanın en kötü yanı ne biliyor musun? ”Seni seviyorum” sözcüğü dilimin ucunu ısırırken her konuşmamızda boş yere saatlerce havadan sudan söz etmek.

Seninle olmanın en heyecanlı yanı ne biliyor musun? Aynı şeyleri seninle aynı anda düşünmek birlikte ağlamak gülmek. Ve buradayken bile seni çılgınca özlemek…

Seninle olmanın en acı yanı ne biliyor musun? Seni hiç tanımadığım bir sürü insanlarla paylaşmak. Senin yanında olan, seninle konuşan herkesi çocukça kıskanmak.

Seninle olmanın en mutlu yanı ne biliyor musun? Tanıdık birileriyle karşılaşma tedirginliği ile yollarda yürümek yan yana… Elimdeki şemsiyeye inat yağmurda ıslanmak birlikte. Elimde ay'çiçeğiyle seni beklemek… Aynı mekanlarda aynı yiyecekleri yemek.

Seninle olmanın en romantik yanı ne biliyor musun? Sensiz gecelerde sana söyleyemediklerimi yıldızlara aya anlatmak… Okuduğum kitabın sayfalarında dinlediğim şarkıların türkülerin şiirlerin her mısrasında seni bulmak.

Seninle olmanın en zor yanı ne biliyor musun? Seni kaybetme korkusuyla hayatta ilk kez tattığım o tarifsiz duygularımı umut denizinin ortasında küreksiz bir sandala hapsetmek. Sevgili yerine yıllarca dost kalmayı başarmak. Yalın ayak yürümek bıçağın en keskin yerinde. Kanadıkça tuz yerine gözyaşlarımı basmak yüreğime...”

Will you be able to rank SEVENTEEN's latest MAESTRO outfits from FNS Kayousai when you have time? I'd love to hear your opinion!

Hello, fellow CARAT! I was surprised to read your question because I had no idea that SVT would be performing "MAESTRO" on Japanese television.... but I think this was a pre-recording? Because half the guys' hairstyles don't match what I saw online from Glastonbury (not complaining; just confused/curious). This time, I'll list my feedback for everyone's outfits in age order, but it's been a while since I last watched the Korean performance stages for what their old outfits were. Below is the best video with decent quality that I could find on YouTube (I'm not going to cite any obscure overseas websites).

DISCLAIMER: Due to suboptimal video quality & atypical camerawork, I cannot distinguish black from navy blue very well. Please forgive me OTZ.

SPOILER: I gave Jeonghan the most points because of his hime cut & ponytail (which I believe is absolutely necessary for Japanese television—IYKYK). Mingyu has the least points because I have absolutely no idea what the stylists were thinking.

S.Coups: 9/10 — Fancy blazer + collar/lapel chains + white shirt + black pants = Not bad! I wish the blazer was longer, though. (Sorry, but I'll never stop complaining about this.)

Jeonghan: 11/10 — Bonus point for the stylists who recreated the hime cut & ponytail from Music Bank 240510! However, I wish they assigned black pants instead of gray pants to complement the black blazer. Among all the guys wearing black ties/scarves, Jeonghan's the only one who wore his untied.

Joshua: 9/10 — I think this is Josh's first time wearing a black sleeveless blazer over a white shirt (with black pants). Maybe my eyes are blurry from the video quality, but he looks a bit uncomfortable while dancing in that vest/shirt combo.

Junhui: 8/10 — Shorts again? I'm not sure what's going on with the black-gray vest over Jun's white shirt because some spots look like they're missing fabric altogether... And why is there gray fabric on only his right shirt sleeve?

Hoshi: 8/10 — Everything was on point until I saw the asymmetrical gray-navy pants. The blazer is fancy but still kind of short. Overall, I'm upset at the stylists about the pants. >:V

Wonwoo: 10/10 — I actually like Wonwoo's shirt (with elbow-length sleeves) & the black cross-body accessory! He looks great for someone not wearing an actual blazer or vest during this stage (watch me complain about Dino later). The black waist sash is a great addition too.

Woozi: 10/10 — Black blazer + white shirt (with lots of ruffles) + black pants = perfect choice for our genius producer! Among all the guys, Woozi's stage outfit here resembles a standard maestro/conductor (at a symphony) the best.

Minghao: 10/10 — Among all the guys wearing long-sleeve blazers, Hao kept his buttoned up (but it didn't impede his dancing). And among all the guys in general, his outfit is the fanciest & most... professional, if that makes any sense.

Mingyu: 7/10 — Something about black sleeves with a white shirt (torso) doesn't sit well with me. (It looks even weirder from the back.) If this was supposed to be a blazer, then it's way too short. The black cross-body accessory looks cool, though.

Dokyeom: 10/10 — More shorts! I actually laughed at the sight of the black fabric (also a sash?) hanging from his right hip. White shirt + gray vest + gray shorts = flexible enough to dance & hit notes at the same time :)

Seungkwan: 10/10 — I'm surprised that the stylists gave him such a fancy black-gray blazer (over a white shirt) but paired it with simple black shorts again. The only weird thing is that both arms have black fabric on the blazer (not me thinking about funerals... now I'm thinking of his friend Moon Bin).

Vernon: 10/10 — HAHA shorts again??? As said before, I'm OK with asymmetric coloring for shirts (not pants). White shirt + black/gray vest + lapel chains + gray shorts = comfortable & fashionable :)

Dino: 8/10 — Everything about Dino was simple yet on point until I saw the random gray (flying) fabric on his white shirt! I cannot forgive the stylists for that either. T^T

Another fun Q&A has been completed! Thank you for your patience!
