[notnctu]

(◍•ᴗ•◍) hihi i saw one of your responses to anon abt tings being temporary and a phase. I think I get what you mean though. I’ve been really thinking about leaving the nct fandom lately (mainly because I can’t support them financially [and it lowkey stresses me out that I can’t support them even tho I don’t need to have money to show support, but it fulfils me if i do]). But with all the assignments and work I need to finish, I’ve also realised that I can’t really keep up with their content anywhere at all. From their YouTube content (I literally have a playlist for all the things I haven’t watched and I’ve been letting it pile up lately 💀) to their comebacks and what not. If u remember, i told u before that i collect their albums (more than their pcs), but with the addition of a new subunit soon, I kinda just decided yesterday (while reconnecting with an old friend, who I haven’t really spoken to in a month) that I was gonna stop collecting all subunits [unless I have a proper paying job]. Felt good to get that off my shoulders tbh. nctzens really made me turn 360 and gave me the opportunity to stop collecting so much. It got exhausting and the market price was absolutely ridiculous. I ended up getting into stray kids, ateez and the boyz lately AND THEIR PRICES ARE GOD TIER. It was really like a breath of fresh air 😭😭😭😭 eventually I’ll drop kpop like i dropped anime, but I dont think now’s the time to do that, because this is currently what makes me happiest in the world. Its like you said, it’s just a phase, and I’ll eventually grow out of it too, and I want to, but I cant because I dont know what comes next yet.

aw i hope you can support the boys anyway you can, not even thru a financial sense honestly i never buy albums LOL but i get it, im not really active in the kpop community anymore since i entered college and i really had no more intentions to get into more groups but nct rlly was really a quarantine group HAHAH and enhypen, i mean... their songs are just top tier...

im still a casual listener bc i learned somewhere that your music taste solidifies by the time youre 18 and ..... i listened to kpop throughout my middle and high school years.. theres no escaping, but it doesnt mean i am up to date with new groups/new comebacks, or keep track of video contents/vlives. im super back stocked on nct content, but hey! it doesnt make you any less of a fan if you havent watched it, you love the boys for them and their music and that's really all you need :)

1. what is an unknown/underrated piece of media that you love?

Piece of media? I guess print media if that’s what you mean lol--like ok, nowadays people are all up about doing things electronically ya feel? I’ll always prefer something I can physically hold and read in my hands I guess? Like, I absolutely love receiving (or more like, *received now haha) letters! especially if it was handwritten (: Print feels more personal I guess haha and idk I still have issues fully trusting everything to be saved / spread / etc digitally haha

2. what are five things you love about yourself?

wow ok, what a lovely question and lovely reminder haha let’s see.. I love my one (1) lone dimple on my right cheek, I love my ability to take care of / maintain and have good looking eyebrows?? (so I’ve been told haha), I love my growing sense of style bc I’ve been experimenting more with what works / looks good on me since senior year of high school, I love my open-minded personality to trying new things or just kinda in general bc I grew up spending my time in all the types of cliques and moving around my families a lot since I used to be an only child lol (actually is this adaptability? hA), & lastly I love that I am solidly bilingual, fluent in Tagalog and ofc English lol

oh my omg haha this question actually took me a really long time to do, kinda sad but thank you for it (’:

3. do you read comics/graphic novels? any favorites?

oof my lists used to be so long but I dropped a lot when classes started again and only solidly read a few now (’: 

Fairy Tail, Akatsuki no Yona, Boku no Hero Academia, Kamisama Hajimemashita, Dengeki Daisy --for webtoons, My Beautiful World & True Beauty 

4. what’s top 5 on your playlist right now?

uhhh, I literally kinda just made a new playlist today filled with Zion.T & HEIZE’s latest releases + DEAN haha ooh and Tatiana Manaois & Bruno Major, also the latest collab of John Legend and Red Velvet’s Wendy (: (yes, I’ve been goin thru a mellow almost simpy phase lately haha)

5. what is something/someone that never fails to make you laugh?

BTS & GOT7 + dogs, all the doggos LOL

6. recommend me some of your favorite tv shows/movies/books/music.

hmm, I guess definitely everything I’ve already mentioned before haha, I struggle myself with finding new things ..oOh! Tori Kelly’s new album Hidden Place --or just Tori Kelly in general lol she’s my favorite (:

ALSO, Panic! at the Disco!!!!! all time fave since  e v e r  I could really listen to their discography for days on end haha, mister Brendon Urie is bae ♡

7. an unpopular opinion you have?

I usually have a lot of these but I’m drawing blank rn (’: oo uhm lately on twt people have been bagging on Arrowhead water drinkers but like, Arrowhead is the superior water imo with Life Wtr coming in right after --if we’re tryna be boujee tho, FIJI WATER (yes, I firmly believe that not all water tastes the same lol)

8. favorite disney soundtrack?

ftftatfjtjcjsthrhskoskjptlp uhhhhhm, this is so hard lol but probably Moana is at the very top bc sir Lin-Manuel Miranda had his hands in it & I absolutely love his work. I am a big fan of all Disney soundtracks tho haha

9. favorite word from your native language?

honestly? this is cliché but, “mahal” lol it means either ‘love’ or ‘expensive’ depending on how you use it ofc but I find it both funny / ironic bc love CAN be expensive both physically and I guess emotionally? mentally? bUT also beautiful at the same time, love is expensive haha take it as you wish but that’s my opinion lol

10. what makes your heart go mushy?

dogs, Jeon Jungkook, doggos, babies, idk getting compliments? I’m literally all skfnaljfwioe fgawnbwajl when people compliment me sometimes like omg my hort, thank you

friends to lovers used to be my top fave bc I lowkey wanted it to happen to me irl hAHAHA, enemies to lovers bc idk--the relationship seems just more fierce & deep if you were once at each other’s throats but are all sOFt for each other hahahaaha oK, uhh not sure what other tropes there are haahaha --but I guess the tsundere trope for characters?? big fkn softies LOL & well, idk what other tropes I absolutely live for but these three are the most notable that I enjoy I guess lol

[7483829]

songs that make me think ‘bout ya:

now there’s a buncha songs on this playlist lmao BUT i’m makin’ a list of the ones i deem notable to give more context to ‘em for ya (&why i attach em to you .) maybe they’ll mean more to you because of it :) some of them are songs that have little things/sounds/verses/hooks that make me think of you, sometimes issa whole song, or it’s just a vibe it give me so here we go:

1. whoa (mind in awe) by x: [“Won't look back on my mind, Won't let bad out my shine, Won't let you cloud my mind (x2), All my days, I was cryin', All my lows, all my highs, Told my Mom, "I'm gon' shine" ] tbh this whole song gotta nice wholesome vibe to it but this part stick out to me the most. everybody been thru bad shit but you especially. but you never let someone block out your shine or cloud up your mind w negative bullshit, you’re strong & you’re positive about shit even when shit ain’t goin right. thru the lows & the highs, you gonna make sumn of yourself. regardless of your past & present trials and tribulations, you gonna shine bright.

2. let’s groove by E, W, & F: i bet you like why in the fuck do this nigga got let’s groove on here 😂 a long ass time ago i had this random ass dream that me & you were in the mf 70’s dancing to this shit, it was very vivid lmao

3. 911/mr lonely by tyler, the creator: not gon lie this part: [“Call me some time, Please bang my line, you know I'll answer Call me some time, Please bang my line”] & this part: [“Five car garage, Full tank of the gas, But that don't mean nothing, nothing, Nothin', nothin', without you shotgun in the passenger”] just cuz i be wantin to hear from you but ion know if you busy so i just don’t say shit. i could have everything in life but if you wasnt by my side, ion know if life gon hit the same no more

4. november by tyler, the creator: the whole song for this one. the last time i remember having a true “november” was with you .

5. awkward by tyler, the creator: the whole first verse is damn near to a t what age we were, how we met, etc. + this album came out freshman year & i was listening to it one time in the spring and as soon as it started you walked on the bus. so yea anyway, this a big 1 for me

6. summertime in paris by jaden smith (f. willow) & greece by drake: both of these beautiful in they own way i guess. with s.i.p., its more focused on the time of year and with greece, it’s more focused on flying out the country asap like drop everything and goin to go hangout and get away from the bullshit & get taken care of type shit. they both kinda serve the same purpose, i guess. i like em both a lot & dead would love to take you to paris one day

7. roll up by wiz khalifa: pretty simple, played this song nonstop one summer & that happened to be the summer me and you were talking and linked up at the ave’s :)

8. foldin clothes by j.cole: this song mean a lot to me cuz cole breaks down societal norms, standards, & expectations of both men and women. i care about you so much bruh that i’d cook and i’d fold clothes for ya, something that a lot of niggas don’t do. it’s such a simple thing but it can mean a lot depending on the context

9. slow down & easy by mac ayers: this guy real lowkey but i highly recommend him. the whole album has a car theme and i just feel like this a car ride for both of us. sometimes we take separate cars, sometimes we in the same care & lookin in a different direction, sometimes we at a stoplight or we get caught speeding, etc. it’s metaphoric, of course, but we’ve always passed each other on the street or rode in the car together. we always figured it out

10. 1 billion views by exo-sc (f. moon): [“보고 또 봐도 질리지 않어, 영원히 반복 재생하고 싶어, 저녁부터 until the dawn, 넌 나의 인생곡 10억”] which translates to: [“Even if I see you over and over I don’t get bored, I want to play you on repeat forever, From the evening until the dawn, You’re my best song 1 billion”] — idk if you even like kpop lmao i never got into it fr, i just really like this song but this is kinda easy to figure out i guess. i can make all the playlists i want to try to explain shit but YOU’RE the song i wanna hear all day

11. cause i love you by lenny williams: this song is a mf classic. there’s a theory that this dude actually starting tearing up in the booth when he was makin this song, that’s how in love he was with this woman. ayyyy i can’t sing like that but a lot of the stuff he was sayin i relate to you, specifically: [“And the tears were running down my face, And my friend told me, He said, ‘Lenny, you just oughta forget about her’, But I told my friend, I said, ‘You know, maybe you've never been in love like I've been in love, And maybe you've never felt the things that I've felt’....... “And then it got so bad, It got so bad, Till one time I thought I'd roll myself up, In a big ol' ball and die, And then I met you, darlin', And you smiled at me”] . this is definitely a song i’d wanna dance with you to, like late at night & just be w you

note: this don’t mean the other songs don’t matter or nothin! there are just some key ones i really like and wanted to delve into a lil bit! thanks for reading bruh & i hope you like the playlist, mamas 💗

w/ love -
