#it would be sooo trippy (which is to say perfect)

[imabiscuitinthousandworlds]

I have begun with my art project! We're supposed to document a journey, real or fictional (applies to both journey and place). So, naturally, I'm sending someone into the Distortion.

The first cardboard box is done! There will be another, larger one underneath that's not immediately visible unless you open the door and I'll find a way to fit in little notes of some poor person's attempt at a diary to keep their senses in these corridors. (It won't work but that's the fun in it).

Anyway I'm really excited for this project and I'm super proud of the door so far!

Why I’m so in love with “Camren”

*Bonus - the last part of this post is a must-see

Hi guys!

This is like a Camren Guide. LMAO.

I’m bored so Imma make a post about my favorite and only ship!

So first things first, to those who do not know what Camren is, it’s a ship name for Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui and former member Camila Cabello. Camila + Lauren = Camren. Look them up on youtube and get acquainted but I suggest you ready yourselves because it’ll suck you in to the bottomless pit of mixed feelings. It’s a fucking rollercoaster ride of emotions so buckle up if you may.

For those who are new in the fandom, Camren is not that much of a hot topic anymore. Knowing that Camila left the group last year. Both went on separate ways now and they’re said to be in bad terms. Plus, Lauren is supposedly dating Ty at this point in time so... But who knows, right? Maybe the people behind them are just creating drama to survive the show business because that’s what makes people keep up. DRAMA.

To my fellow shippers, we will go down with this ship till we hit the bottom. But even so, Imma still hold on because who knows? Maybe the ship will rise back up! Hold on you guys. Our ship is endgame. I repeat, ENDGAME! :D

Look at that! OMG!

So now, I’ll tell you how I discovered this emotion-wrecking ship. I was about to sleep, watching a music channel in my room when their Write On Me musicvid came up. I saw Lauren and I fell in love. Yes, I’m a Lauren girl and I admit that it’s too freaking hard to keep up with her but I just can’t unlove her. WHY?? So then I searched Write On Me on youtube again ‘cause I just can’t get over her. Then I saw a vid on the recommended portion title “Camren - Write On Me”. My curious ass clicked on it and damn! I have never regretted anything in my life. It sucked me in. I love it and at the same time I hate it. Damn, Camren! What have you done to me? Somehow, Camren made me a harmonizer. I support the girls up until now. Even Camila. They have earned a big potion of my heart.

This lured me in! Such beauty...

Now let’s get on Camren. Imma give you reasons to ship it. 

1. Their background/history

Camila and Lauren are both living in Miami. They both are half Cubans. Camila is half cuban, half mexican while Lauren is half Cuban, half American. They both didn’t know each other’s existence until they tried their luck in joining X Factor. Crazy, right? Both have immediately found solace in each other knowing that they have much similarities. They instantly got close and became each other’s bff in the competition. And little did they know they’re in for a big surprise. They were grouped together! And there came Fifth Harmony. Yay!

Awwww. Fetus feels. T_T

2. The connection/vibes

“I heard Lauren singing from the booth and I was like damn! That girl could sing. Then I saw her came out and I was like damn! she’s pretty too!”

“When I first Lauren, I was like ‘Hi, I like you shirt!” 

“I don’t feel like I have a type. I feel like when you meet somebody there’s just like an attraction. It’s more like an energy If that makes sense.” - Camila when asked about the characters she’s looking for a guy.

“I feel like it’s not something physical. It’s more about the vibe. Don’t you just feel like when you get in a room with somebody, It’s like grrr (you’re gonna make me very happy)”. - Camila during an interview (2017).

There’s tons of sweet interactions actually.

3. Their staring at each other

Have you ever looked at someone and get lost while staring at them? It’s like you’re looking at the world and feel like you just discovered the secret to genuine happiness. Like your eyes turn into heart shapes but you’re never aware of it. These bitches mastered that.

The most epic look/stare in Camren history. Here you can see Lauren getting lost like she’s in another dimension.

Camila staring at the world and found genuine happiness. xD

Lauren enjoying Camila’s spoken thoughts. 

Camila appreciating her girl.

Woops. Someone’s droolin. Lol.

I wish Lauren would stare at me like that. Damn, that girl doesn’t even know I exist. T_T

There’s tons of epic looks and stares I can’t post it all. 

3. Their Indirects.

“Indirects are fun.”-Lauren Jauregui

Bitch, we love it. We’re enjoying it. It’s definitely entertaining. You guys, I think some of their posts/tweets are prolly indirects while some are pure coincidence. I really don’t know how to differentiate. Nevertheless, if they post/tweet the same thought but are not meant to be indirects to each other, then I must conclude they are indeed soulmates. That fucking sameness in wavelength is fucking unreal.

The heck?

Oh, come on!

How weird can they be??

C-R-A-Z-Y!

Oh, and I think you should follow their actions on spotify. They listen to pretty suspicious songs. They even post songs that have weird lyrics and that are low key exposing. Camila makes weird playlists on spotify too and they have meaningful songs. She’s even weirder on spotify. That girl is full of feels.

4.  The Sun and The Moon. Sol y Luna

This one’s pretty trippy ‘cause I’m confused as to which of them is the Sun or the Moon and I know Lucy used to post The Sun and The Moon on tumblr and her instagram too.  But fuck it. Imma make it a Camren thing still. One things for sure though, they both have an obsession with this Sun and Moon thing. :*

This one always blows my mind. Fucking soulmates.

5. Mirroring

OMG! Their mirrorings are definitely a must-see. Are they twins or something? Maybe soulmates? I wish I could find a Lauren to my Camila too. Lmao. They’re sometimes so in sync that it gives me goosebumps. 

6. Camila Cabello 

Yes, Camila Cabello. The girl feeds every Camren shippers delusions like hell. She’s the opposite of Lauren who made it a hobby to kill Camren and break her fans’ heart once in a while. Her hatred for Camren is sometimes so questionable. Like girrrrll! Leave it if it annoys you too much. She’s so defensive about Camren that her actions become suspicious. Meanwhile, Camila freely posts too much suspicious shit. Even her new solo songs and even her whole album which according to her, “The album is really not about boys though....”. We get it Camila. You’re in a glass closet. Don’t you think it’s time to finally break free? ;)

Thanks for sharing, Camz. xD

This interview was full of tension. Camila, we know you wanna marry Lauren but can you please tone it down a little bit?? Lol.

Remember her posting this after Lauren “accidentally” liked a Camren pic on Instagram?? Well Camz, it was an accident she’ll never live down now. xD

For me, this post gives it all away. In that quote, Virginia Woolf is a writer who had an affair with someone of the same sex named Vita Sackville-West. Now, why would she post that? And to think it was that time where she’s being distant to her bandmates. Oh Camzi.

There’s also that time when she said “that’s cute” referring to a fan’s Camren phone case.

A post shared by FIFTH HARMONY-CAMREN (@http.camren.otp) on Feb 10, 2017 at 7:45pm PST

Here’s a vid. Hmmmmm???

Also, Camila’s Gender neutrality is freakin’ suspicious. She uses gender neutral pronouns too much. Why can’t she just say he, him, his or she, her, hers? She instead uses they, them, somebody, someone, people. Damn, it frustrates me sometimes! Like what is she really? Gosh!

7. Tha Fans aka The Camren Shippers

What’s an FBI when you got ‘em Camren Shippers?? LMAO. These people notice everything even the girls’ fingernails. I’m not even kidding. These people are so good in making ‘em Camren videos, it’s like they went to Harvard to study film making. Lol. They mastered the art of stalking that even the girls’ very  distant relative or clueless neighbor can’t get away. What can I say? It’s complicated. ;)

Some Camren analyzing videos and blogs make sense while some are far too reaching.

 I’ll give you some links to my fave camren videos. ;)

^^ You gotta see this too but you gotta prepare lotsa tissues ‘cause yer gonna be Crying in Camren. T_T.

Hail ye Camren Shippers! Woooh! :D

Sooo that’s it.

Wait, gonna give you a fucking bonus.

BONUS PART: 

Remember the supposed Camren kiss on Dinah’s snapchat last year which she deleted minutes after? She posted it on snapchat few days before VMAs 2016. Then during the VMAs Camren was a little less awkward. They were standing and sitting next to each other, talking and laughing. They were kinda happy that time. They probably knew it was their last VMAs together so they made the best out of it. Sooo, in that snapchat I don’t think those were bags. I’ll make you guys believe. It’s the most concrete proof that makes me believe that Camren is or was real. Whenever I doubt about Camren, I always go back to this video and get my Camren hopes up.

Here’s the vid.

ispy with my little eyes. ;)

This was the VMAs days after that snapchat!! T_T

Thoughts - I feel like they are aware of the fact that they are so perfect for each other. Dude, that is why they became uncomfortable about it because they acknowledge the fact that it could be real, it could be true.  Because if it were ever real and they didn’t have the chance to make it public, they’ll be stuck thinking how it would feel like being free to show their love for each other, not hiding. They will always have that “what-ifs” until they’re free and get the chance to try it again. If that time comes, they’re free to tell and show the world the truth. Right now, it’s just complicated. So much is on the line. Their careers on top of it all. Who would’ve known they would end up like that? Wow, what a beautiful love story. Let’s give it let’s say 2 or 3 years more. Maybe till then they’ll come through. 

CAMREN IS REAL, BITCHES! Bah Felicia!

19 weeks ago, Coldplay released that quick GIF of a sneak peek of their first few cities for the 2017 leg of their #AHFODTour. I saw the silhouette of the Philippines among other Asian countries and immediately knew I had to get tickets. There are very few artists I would spend good money to buy concert tickets for. But seeing Coldplay live? People who’ve been lucky enough to see them say it’s priceless.

  What would’ve cost us ₱22,500 (the price of VIP tickets in Manila), only cost us ~₱8,000 each for Standing Pen A tickets in Singapore. That’s a huge difference. Our tickets weren’t the most expensive (VIP tickets cost around ₱3,000 more than ours) but we didn’t need the merchandise or priority entrance anyways, and this was already the front-most part of the National Stadium. The Standing Pen A tickets were also slightly cheaper than the nearest seats, which were actually quite far from the stage already.

Another big factor of choosing to watch in Singapore instead of Manila was that we wanted to see Coldplay in a stadium. I’ve seen videos and photos of Coldplay concerts in other countries and I saw how different a stadium-type concert and a field-type concert were. The Singapore National Stadium had 60,000 people that night but it didn’t feel tight at all. They weren’t strict about IDs or cameras, and entering was incredibly organized and quick. Oh, and when Singapore says that the gates will open at 6:00 PM, they will open the gates at exactly 7:00 PM, not a minute later. Singapore is the best, they really are!

The merchandise booth outside the stadium! Shirts went for S$50 so expect the same prices for the Philippines.

The view of the stadium from the line entering the concert

When we finally got into the stadium at 6:30, we were amazed. It was my first time being in an event venue of that size and I was kind of blown away just by the arena. A part of it opens up to the sky so we were able to watch the sun set during the opening act Jess Kent’s set.

Although we were in line for only an hour and half, we still got a really great spot near Stage B at the end of the ramp. We stood behind some pretty tall people but it wasn’t so bad towards the end of the night and we got great shots in.

If you can bring a camera, DO IT. The Sony RX100 V compact camera is the most ideal (because the zoom is ah-freakin-mazing), but if you can’t get your hands on one, a mirrorless camera should do. The photos I used during my trip were all taken using a Sony a6000 with a kit lens and I was honestly really surprised with how many decent shots I got in! The super speedy 11fps and quick start-up came in handy for taking those blink-and-you-might-miss-it shots. Also, the camera did pretty well autofocusing considering the conditions were so difficult to shoot in. Five stars!

Concert photodump incoming! (Click the individual photos to see the photos up close!)

Yes that’s Chris Martin taking a selfie with a lucky guy’s phone

LOOK AT THOSE LIGHTS.

A sky full of stars! The confetti was literally stars so cuuute

Yeah. Wow. Photos can’t even capture how beautiful it was in person. The watch out screens were so clear and the visuals were gorgeous. The confetti flew at exactly the right moments and the balloons were a still a big surprise even if I knew they’d be coming out. The concert was pretty long — more than two hours — so it’s definitely worth the money. I don’t wanna spoil anything but their set list was perfect! I’m pretty sure that the Manila crowd will go WILD tomorrow night!

But the most amazing part of the concert for me were the Xylobands. These wristbands with radio-frequency receivers are what make Coldplay concerts extra special. There were times I wasn’t even watching Chris Martin and just watching the Xylobands of the seated audience members pulsing to the sound of the bass drum. It’s SOOO TRIPPY and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I can’t even describe what it’s like, you just HAVE to be there! How they synchronize all the bands (or have them all sparkle in different colors) should be the eighth wonder of the modern world. Seriously.

Outdooran concert crew!

Exiting the concert venue was really easy and organized! 

Singapore can host the Olympics — I swear they’re amazing. Leaving the concert was a breeze, with several ushers holding signs about which train to take, how many minutes it would take to walk there, the best place to get an Uber, etc. I was expecting the Stadium MRT to be bombarded with 60,000 people but there were hardly any lines and we got on the first train we lined up for (with so much space to spare!).

All in all, watching Coldplay was a really thrilling experience. I remember looking at my friends several times during the concert and we would just shake our heads in disbelief with how beautiful the visuals were and how freaking great Chris Martin sounded live. I cried like a baby during Fix You, and you probably will too. If you don’t, you’re most probably cold and heartless. Hahaha jk (ish).

It was one of the best things I have EVER spent my money on. If you ever have a chance to watch Coldplay, grab the opportunity. They’ll be in Frankfurt at the same time I’ll be in Germany in June so I’m considering watching them again! (Yeah, it was THAT good.)

Living in Manila, we’re used to incredibly expensive concert tickets. Madonna charged a steep Php 57,750 (over $1100) for front row tickets to her show at the Mall of Asia Arena, so our standard for ticket prices is completely different from the rest of the region. My friends and I spent several days waking up early in the morning to try and catch the ticket releases for the April 1 Singapore date and still didn’t get any tickets. But fortunately, they opened another date — March 31, their first concert for 2017 — in Singapore. We were lucky enough to buy our tickets during the first day of the release and bought our flight tickets not long afterwards.

Our plane tickets cost us ~₱12,000 each (including travel tax) on Philippine Airlines, plus we get miles. Choosing Singapore over the other Asian countries (which were just as cheap) was a no-brainer to me because I got to stay with my aunt, and even if my friends chose to stay in a hotel, they spent less than ₱5,000 each for three nights. It was also the closest for us to go to, next to Taiwan. Not bad at all.

I’ll be up with a blog post soon about what we did in Singapore for the weekend! We only had two full days (Friday + Saturday) in the city but I feel like we squeezed in a lot! I’ll be releasing the post later this week so stay tuned for that!
