APT.

synopsis: what the current lads men's reaction would be when they find out you've been obsessed and bopping to this song (and how they would handle lss when it hits them).

a/n: this song has been bouncing in my mind as i was taking a shower, and then bam! brainrot was born.

xavier

he was headed to your place, coming back from the bakery as his nose directed him to a delicious scent and decided to purchase a seasonal pastry. his first thought when he purchased the tasty treat was to share it with you.

he's standing in front of your door. a few minutes have already passed, and you still haven't come to answer. on his last knock, he decides that he'll just invite himself in. opening the door, he's greeted by the sound of a beat coming from your kitchen.

as he nears your kitchen, the song comes in full blast from your speaker, the catchy rhythm reverberating around the room and into your bones, evident from the jolly wiggle of your shoulders and hips as your body moves to the beat.

you're currently washing your dishes right now, and you seem to be a bit sidetracked and spellbound by the music, occasionally stopping to soap a dish but mainly getting carried away by music as your body bops to it.

the song is apparently on loop, probably an intentional decision given from the never-ending delight of your body and expression as it keeps playing in the background, with you still unaware of his presence.

halfway through the third loop of the song, you do a little turn and scream as you finally notice xavier's presence by the threshold, soapy hand clutching on the spoon in your hand. judging from the subtle smugness and amusement in his eyes, he's been here for a while, spying quietly on your little display.

"xavier! what the fu... how long have you been there?!"

"long enough to find out that you put the song on loop. this has been the third time it's played."

your ears burn at the horrifying knowledge that he's seen enough of the little 'concert' you had.

you shoo him away from the kitchen, asking why he's there in the first place. he tells you of his little detour before going home and has picked up a pastry to share with you. you tell him to wait by the living room as you finish up the dishes, though you take your time in the kitchen to cool down, speaker now turned off and ears still burning in mortification.

once you're done, you avoid meeting his gaze as you sit down, taking the pastry he offered you. you sit stiffly, body language evidently awkward, and it doesn't help that xavier's eyes bore into you, pressuring your form.

"what?" you mumble, still not meeting his eyes.

"nothing. just visualising your dancing again."

you stop chewing, mouth agape as your eyes snap to his. you groan, lightly kicking his leg. "you weren't even suppose to see that! and isn't it a violation for someone to just walk into someone else's home while they're vulnerable? and talk about you spying too..."

"well, someone couldn't hear me knocking because their music was on blast and they were busy dancing, so i decided to let myself in." amusement dances on his gaze as he sees your face cringe.

from that day on, you made sure to always be alert with the door, especially when it came to xavier. you're suddenly doubting the decision of letting himself feel welcomed into your place...

he didn't let that slide for a few days, and though his teasings were subtle, it always manages to hit the nail in the coffin with his implications.

"your swordsmanship is getting better, although i'd say i'd prefer to see you doing your little dances right now instead."

"you want to do the dishes? am i going to see another concert from you?"

"i'll help you with that. you wouldn't want to get sidetracked with how lively the music is."

he finds himself humming the tune sometimes, but it was never within your vicinity. he was holding consideration for you, because although the blush creeping up on you and the scrunch of your face from the memory was adorable, he wouldn't want you to feel as if he was mocking you and making you uncomfortable around him.

one thing he'd never let you know, though, was the video of you that he secretly recorded. it never fails to bring a smile on his face and light his heart up with the way you were so lost into the music, your expression one of concentrated joy as you feel through the song, along with your adorable dancing too.

zayne

on a particular day, he had noticed you humming the same tune and repeating the same lyrics.

at first, he thought it was some form of incantation and wondered if you'd had any encounters with a wanderer that had anything to affect your functioning.

"apt, apt, apt, apt..."

zayne had to give you a quick check up to see if anything else has affected you. his suspicions were abated when he heard the following tune of your chanting. turns out, it was only a case of last song syndrome.

he found your little hummings endearing, especially when it's paired with the slight bop of your head, probably recreating the beat in your mind.

he doesn't mind it much, but a few days later as he's shopping, he hears a familiar chant and melody playing in the background. it turns out, it's a popular song, and as he listens to it intently, he can understand how the catchy rhythm seems to worm its way into your head.

at this point, with his knowledge of the song and your repeated hums and soft singing of the chorus, zayne has become somehow familiar with it. the music has eventually wormed its way into his head as well, but it was mostly because of how it reminded him of your cheerful tune.

unknowingly to him, he's been quietly humming the melody. greyson has noticed this when he was about to deliver a report to zayne, catching up with him until he hears a soft vibrating sound coming from the surgeon.

he's surprised to hear the familiar, catchy tune coming from their ever stoic doctor, but when you arrive at the hospital and greet greyson, asking about the doctor and waving at him with a skip in your step and the lyrics flying softly out of you as you leave, he puts two in two together.

you also eventually catch zayne humming the tune while you're both preparing dinner at his place, ears quirking as you hear the familiar melody in the form of his light, baritone cadence through the sound of him chopping.

"i never knew you liked that song too, doctor zayne. i didn't think it would be your style."

the hand on the knife stills at your comment, making zayne suddenly aware of his action. he blinks slowly, before proceeding to chop again. "i suppose it's grown on me. admittedly, the song is quite catchy itself, but i was more influenced by someone's constant singing of it."

a bashful smile reaches your face. "ah, my bad. it got stuck in my head for the whole day, and that was all i could hear in my mind."

"your condition sounds serious. i'm afraid it's contagious. the only cure for this now would be for you to sing it to me until my brain gets tired of it."

rafayel

your hand shoots to grab the can of paint that you almost tripped over, sighing in relief from the lack of spill on the floor. you're wondering where in heaven's name rafayel is already.

he's invited you over spontaneously with the alibi of suddenly having the urge to have a painting session together. you figured it would be fun, considering you had nothing to do at the moment.

he also mentioned that he was out to grab a few supplies and that you should help yourself in his studio, but it's already been around forty minutes, and he still hasn't appeared yet. you're getting bored from just sitting out and waiting for him, so you decide to start on something.

once you've prepped everything you needed, you scroll through your phone and look through your playlist to find an appropriate song to get into the mood before starting. a cheery tune comes in and you nod in approval, grabbing the brush and just going off with whatever you feel.

minutes pass by, and you've made some progress with your work. the upbeat songs on your playlist drive the mood of your art as well as yourself, but when it reaches to that particular song, you're suddenly all over the place, the paintbrush now a makeshift microphone in your hand.

"don't you want me like i want you, baby? don't you need me like i need you now?~"

"oh, i definitely need a camera for this."

you trip over the same paint again, its contents spilling out. a slew of curses leave your mouth, grabbing the can before the whole liquid could escape. you look up to see rafayel, with a grin plastered on his face.

"i... you... how..." you sputter over your words, too stunned to even utter a full sentence to him. how long has he been standing there? and how much did he see?

"i came back ten minutes ago and heard the loud music from upstairs. sooo, i saw your performance for about... seven minutes, i'd say."

he walks over to you, taking the paintbrush from your hand and replacing it with a paper bag you haven't noticed on him.

"here, i bought some food for you on the way. i figured you might be hungry from all the wait. it was really busy outside. but don't worry, i always compensate my bodyguard. especially after they'd just had that dance number."

you groan, putting a hand on your face but forgetting about the paint on them, so now you're covered with... a vermillion red, as it says on the can from earlier. the colour is probably matching with your face from how hot it feels.

"hah, looks like you've been caught red-handed–"

"ugh, don't."

after that embarrassing fiasco and things have calmed down, you and rafayel work on your paintings. he eventually tries to warm you up with playing your songs again, persistently telling you to continue playing them to give the background a more lively vibe. you agreed when you made him promise not to make fun of you from earlier.

when the song plays again, you fumble for you phone to change it to the next queue, but rafayel stops you with a snap of his paintbrush on you knuckles, making you glare at him, and he in turn gives a pointed look at you, making you leave the song on play. you can't stop the small taps and head bops from the catchy beat.

much to rafayel's chagrin, that song has been stuck in his head for the following days. he can't deny how catchy it is, and there's a certain melody that's easily recognisable and playful to it. eventually, he's singing it in his studio now, and blasting it away into the coastal air. yet, no matter how many times he's played it, the tune still rings in his head.

unfortunately for him, it's blocking his creativity, and he can't think of anything but the song. he blames it on you for exposing it to him... until a lightbulb in his brain lights up. it's you! the moment you blared up that music and danced around his studio with your paintbrush mic in hand as if it was your personal stage, the memory of that song and moment locked it in his brain.

his hands eventually get to work, and canvases are filled of you in that moment – the riveting expression on your face as you belt out to the song, the paints scattered on your hands and arms, some unknowingly on your hair, the way your body is thrown back in carefree ecstasy as the music courses through you... he makes that memory come alive again.

sylus

he's noticed that luke has been playing this one song in constant repeat on his phone, to the point that the catchy chorus of the song is practically shoved into the forefront of his brain, playing it every now and then.

it got worse when kieran got into it as well, much to luke's delight.

"i thought you'd hate this song and say it's stupid."

"what? no! it's so good that i can't even stop playing it."

"me too!"

now the manor echoes with that song. surprisingly, sylus doesn't mind it. it is quite catchy, annoyingly so that he willingly listens to it on his own as well (but he doesn't let the twins know that).

of course, you also loved that song, and as soon as luke found out, he pulled you along with kieran for a sing-along loop until you all got sick of the lyrics and each other's voices.

unbeknownst to all of you, mephisto is recording everything, and sylus smirks in delight when he sees the three of you belt out to the song non-stop, capturing the way you passionately sing out to it and let your body get lost into the rhythm.

also unbeknownst to the onychinus leader is that luke and kieran had managed to get an audio recording of sylus humming and singing to the song with his infamous tone deafness.

"kissy face, kissy face, sent to your phone... i'm trying to kiss your lips for real–" you and the twins burst out laughing at the audio, clutching on your stomach at how out of sync he is. kieran plays the audio in repeat again, and it never fails to make you all burst into tears of laughter.

"please... i can't breathe..." you wheeze out, grabbing onto luke's arm.

"what seems to be all the commotion around here?" the low baritone voice makes you all freeze, luke and kieran especially. kieran fumbles with the phone, turning it off before addressing to sylus.

"b-boss! w-we were just..."

"they... they..." you fight your words in between giggles, clearing your throat and trying to compose yourself, but ultimately ended up failing as you burst into laughter again.

sylus waits out your fits of chuckles, raising a brow expectantly at you. "what's so funny that's gotten you this breathless, sweetie?"

"hah... it's just... luke and kieran showed me something really funny, is all," you say with a dismissive wave, a grin still etched on your face, eyes sparkling with delight.

"really? and what is this 'funny thing' that they showed you?"

the twins sweat, already trying to fumble with an excuse until you chime in. "nothing, it's nothing. you wouldn't get it, sorry."

before he can make a remark, you stand up to take his hand, leading him away from the twins before he could question them further.

"c'mon, you said we'd go out tonight! what place did you want us to go to?"

an amused chuckle leaves sylus. "you'll see."

turns out, he brought you out for karaoke, which was probably the worst and best thing tonight.

you scream into the microphone with as much feeling and power as you can until your voice is so hoarse that it couldn't even detect your voice anymore.

and sylus... well, he was singing with as much tune as he can, which is... really out of this world, but you still cheer on him, recording him with your phone as he attempts to follow the melody of the song.

after that, you think you need to get your hearing checked.

and as promised, kieran sent you the audio of sylus' singing. now you both have an audio and video to file in your 'crow screeches' album.

hi chia beloved!! can i please get 25, 35, 38, and 40 for the kpop asks please? ilysm and i'm holding you so so gently <3333

xan beloved!!! yes, you may <3 am sending my biggest shua shaped hugs too <333

25. most expensive merch

Seventeen’s Be The Sun crewneck

this is probably my most expensive merch. the sentimental value beats its (already expensive) retail value simply for being my first svt concert merch. I consider it one of my lucky items

35. last played song

Either Way — IVE

38. song that grew on you

Love 119 — RIIZE

I’m never one for chanty-like choruses but the way this is my most recent lss. I love the mv too it was giving coming of age angst; my favorite genre

(also I could not get over the intro bit like I hope this type of melody can be explored in their discography down the line)

40. song that never gets old

Pretty U — Seventeen

it’s the vibes! the feeling of spring’s first love! the $5 and a dream but the way they still perform this years later and still match the energy of when this first dropped

🌷 send me some kpop questions

[drifting-days]

SKZ-Replay is definitely on Replay

I haven't been really streaming the way fanbases suggest, and not the way most devoted fans do. My ears can only handle so much sounds in a day which is a bummer.

Nonetheless, some solos have been stuck in my head—often playing like a medley of 30 seconds each, depending on how my brain works.

One moment I hear Hyune singing "yeah yeah yeah yeah~" to Lino's heartwrenching vocals. And then Changbin breaks that with doodle, doodle—creativity~! and here's the thing, i don't even remember the lyrics, i never do. I vaguely remember how the lyrics go but i hear the whole chorus play in my head especially the instrumentals!

Plus, Han's "run from my room. run from my town. run from my city. run from my...world" is the peak LSS. Yeah, that's an absolute earworm. Add Connected's club instrumental to the remix and I'm suddenly laughing at "a lock and a key making rumbles"—istg, Chan and his innuendos. (it's now my gay anthem, no turning back, we're connected)

While deep end does play in my head, that's a song that i'd rather play and listen to. The chorus where he layers his voice always gives me the tingles. He wasnt lying when he said playing it on repeat could lull us to sleep, at least for me, that song is the epitome of "cry myself to sleep".

Stars and Raindrops definitely lightens up my mood, like Hug me does—which is basically sad twerking coz the song still had the same "regretful" sad song. Seungmin's voice is ever so iconic with how full it sounds—the last note he dragged definitely had me satisfied, it's like a gift when the note in Can't Stop wasn't sung the same as their concert version LOL

Hug me made me crack up—it's not the song I would have expected from the maknae who'd feel tortured being embraced by his hyungs (ok maybe Felix is an exception). It's a bait! He sings "I will give you a hug" and his hyungs have their arms wide open. He says "Please give me a hug" and they will go after him like a zombie hoard!

I really appreciate Stray Kids for simply existing and sharing their passion. I mean, in every song they release, they share their thoughts, talent, skills, and growth. It's always been like that ever since I first heard Hellevator. I might not have stanned since I was basically just into their songs, not as a group until God's Menu/Back door happened. But yeah, being a stay is basically being spoiled by these bulk of quality songs!

I'm really proud to be a STAY, more so when they develop themselves or showcase wht more they can do.

[dojae-huh]

All the wars between these solo stan 😂 I know they can't survive even for a day as fans of 2nd generation. I watch a lot of super junior content these day, hilarious to watch they grow for 20nd anniversary next year. There's funny fact bout them, so the sub unit called LSS held a concert and cause the target song for concert is 20 and they only have 6 song they sang some song from group (Do, Jae, etc doing it as well) but they performed a song from other sub unit D&E called oppa oppa while the real singer was seat on vip section and shocked they LSS performed their song even without permission from them 😂 and they just make it fun till end even D&E run into the stage and 'make trouble' there. See them make me wondering how 127 will go for 20nd anniversary??? With the lowering amount of fans, maybe some member discontinue their contract, publict concern doesn't bother them again, they look most happy than ever. Last, i know taeyong will give his all stock of love and his 4 tumb see Do concert and he's rapping

Wow now I see some K-TYf being shady lol. Maybe every fandom has overpride problem, they really think their idol has more "identity". And to think about that, last night DY did not even use the DY Track name anymore but they still be triggered. That must be a sign he was successful with the branding haha😂 but for real, this is so stupid.

--------------------

No need to wait 12 years, Wish already performed other unit's songs and Taeyong's solo. And I think WayV also did songs of other units on fancons in the past. And yes, I won't be surprised if in the future neos will perform songs of each other, even if only in karaoke or on tv-programmes and partially.

TY Track is the name of Tae's concert. I suppose that's why it's such a trigger. Tae only had time for 2 shows and is in the military now, while Do is doing a concert tour, and NCT socmed constantly updates with pictures and vlogs with him. Akgaes equal their own importance with that of their chosen proxy champion. They need their bias to be the best and most successful to feel good (read "superior") themselves.

Pity them, heh. They choose to wale in misery instead of celebrating other artists and having more concerts, content and music to enjoy.

[greycaelum]

Hello Grey, it just got in my mind after my brother get annoyed I listen to the same song for a while. Imagine if y/n is fansgirling over a male singer that she watched in tv, she changed her wallpaper to be that man, and Satoru gets annoyed also jealous of it. Moreover his kids in their mother side, such as while they are singing together through tv, watching his concert. Suddenly Satoru comes, said "this again? I'm tired of this song, doesn't he have another song? Hon, you've played this song for more than a week." I would like to know how y/n's reaction.

Forgive me if it's a long, i hope you understand cuz English isn't my 1st langauge.

No worries, I don't mind and your English is great! I have a bad case of LSS, my playlist is assorted from Japanese, Chinese, a few Korean, and many more. The people here in the house get annoyed about the lyrics they can't understand HAHAHAHA. But recently I'm proud of their development, they can now identify the difference between those languages LMAO

What song? Who's the singer? By kids, you mean Kikufuku and Cat?

"He's so pretty!" Saika gushed with you while watching on your phone. "Right! His lashes are so beautiful." You pouted and scrolled through the pictures.

"I'm home!" Satoru changes into his indoor slipper. Kouki greets him and giddily snatches the box of doughnuts. "Where's your Ma and Cat?" Satoru sweatdrops at his son who just pointed to the living room while eating the bavarian doughnut. "We're waiting for the live concert."

Ugh, this again! Satoru didn't even resist the urge of rolling his eyes. It's that lanky boy you've been fixated with, singing the song that has been haunting him day and night for a week now. If he was no better of a man he would've already smashed the remote to the speaker every time he hears the dastardly song play at hours end.

"I'm home." Satoru trudge to you and Saika. "Oh hi, Love. How was work?" You rise and threw your arms around his neck, pulling him down for a quick peck before rushing back to your seat and waiting for the countdown.

"..." Satoru's shoulders slumped down. You call that a welcome kiss?! That can't even be counted as a smack! Aggrieved he turns to the flat-screen TV, glaring holes in the head of the smiling singer. "This again? I'm tired of this song, doesn't he have another song? Hon, you've played this song for more than a week."

"Nonsense Love, this song is great. Even the kids like it." You dismissed and the kids agreed, telling Satoru that they can sing it along.

For the whole evening, Satoru in a sour mood, listened to the concert, his kids singing along, his wife squealing and gushing over the boy. When he can't take it no more, he flips his phone to send you a message. Baby... upstairs in 15 minutes. He glances at you who opened your phone but Satoru's soul flew out of his mouth when he saw the FUCKING WALLPAPER!

Where's the candid picture of him kissing your forehead while you lean your chin on his shoulder blade with closed eyes?! It's now replaced by that derpy-eyed boy strumming a guitar. Heh! Well, if you forgot, your husband can play the violin better! Name it, piano? cello? bass? He can even sing acapella but you never out him in your wallpaper playing those instruments!

"Hmmph!" Satoru's cheeks puffed out and walk out of the living room. Annoyed won't even cut it. He's petty? Well, then he's gonna show you how petty he can get!

When you climb into the bed after exhausting yourself from the live concert, Satoru has long curled up to his side. He didn't wrap his arms around your waist like he usually does. "Baby?" You called out, poking his back. He's being petty right now, Stop. He doesn't hear anything. Satoru shuts his eyes.

"'Toru~" You cooed, slotting your face on his hunched shoulders, throwing your legs above his, and wrapping your arm around his waist you kissed his nape. "Baby?"

"Hmmph!" Satoru evaded his face. You let him be and just silently kiss the back of his neck. Satoru pouted but slowly his sullen heart melted in your sweet nothings. Turning around he wraps his strong arms around you and whines. "I can sing better than him." He huffs childishly.

"You do?" You chuckled and cup his cheeks, rubbing your thumb on the contours of his cheeks. "Then sing a lullaby Love,"

Wordlessly Satoru pulled the covers up to your shoulders. Caressing your hair fondly, he hums a light tune.

"Silly, 'Toru, you don't have to compete with anyone." Pressing a kiss on his jaws you chuckled. "Jealous much."

Satoru rolled his eyes at you and pinch your waist. Whatever, by the end of the day, you would still end up in his arms anyway.

As for his kids... He can't believe his own spawn would betray him like this. Just wait until tomorrow, I'm gonna teach you Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star Level 8. Papa's gonna show you my musical prowess!

—Grey,

[thetoastedsiopao]

Thank you, BTS.

I can still remember how I started to become a fan of BTS. At their Festa 2021 Namjoon said that he wanted to know how their fans became an army.

So, here's my story. Last May 25, 2020 at 1:23am I was having a hard time sleeping so I browsed on youtube to watch random things. In my recommended section there's Mr. James Corden has a carpool show with BTS. I was curious at that time why this BTS was always trending on twitter so I watched. Kim Taehyung got my eyes!! He's so handsome and I find his voice unique. Then there's Jungkook, RM, Jin, Jimin, Suga and J-hope. On my first 3 days watching them it was hard for me to memorize all their names, but after 5 days I know their full names including their nicknames, i can't believe it to myself hahaha (i have a hard time memorizing names and faces).

I was LSS in ON and Boy with luv, I played those songs more than 10x a day then I started to listen to all their songs album by album. I watched random videos on facebook and youtube, RUN BTS, BON VOYAGE, and their Docuseries to learn more about them.

It amazed me that they started from nothing. The pain, struggles, low budget company, people that keep dragging them down, bashing or criticizing them, but they never stop to prove themselves. They never stop achieving their dreams. They worked so hard to achieve everything that they have today and I can say that they deserve it.

And I believe that I stand with right group. I love they're songs because they have deep and meaningful lyrics. I'm a Filipino but even if they're singing in korean language it comforts me whatever my mood is. I don't know how and why but they bring so much color to my life. Whenever I'm stressed, depressed or anxious I just watch their random videos and listen to their music then it brightens my day. It takes away all my pain, I know we can't avoid challenges and problems but they are my sweet escape in this world, Thank you.

To my BTS, 

Thank you for your existence. Thank you for all your hard work, please don't think that you're not enough. Thank you for your music, you are my courage to face all my fears and challenges. Thank you for bringing so much comfort in my life, you don't know how happy I am that I found you. Thank you for being my Euphoria. Thank you for reminding me to love myself and chase my dreams. Thank you for reminding me that "The morning will come again. No darkness, no season can last forever.". 

I hope you're taking care of your health. I pray that this pandemic will end very soon so I can go to your country to watch your concert.

Ps. Yes, Taehyung got my eyes but Namjoon got my heart hehe. But don't get me wrong I love all of you guys :) #사랑해요 #borahae #ot7forever

Day 55

🎵 Bad Decision - Benny Blanco, BTS & Snoop Dog

I seriously hate summer. Sabay tinamaan ka pa ng kamalasan dahil nag-error yung bagong biling aircon. Ilang gabi na kami nagtitiis na walang aircon at fan lang yung gamit. Imagine, the heat tapos fan lang. Halos hindi kayanin ng fan yung init. kaloka. Tried calling the company ng aircon to have them check and fix kung ano man yung problema ng aircon. They called last Sat. eh walang tao dito sa bahay. Next schedule nila sa area is Tuesday (which is tomorrow na) nakakaloka yung sobrang init.

Anyway, sobrang LSS sa bagong song na Bad Decision. Super catchy. I've been checking din kung pano pumunta ng South Korea on October dahil sa Busan Expo. They said na FREE concert daw yun with BTS. Yung chance mo na maka-punta lalo pa na libre pero kelangan pa rin ng visa at may daily quota ang embassy. 🤦‍♀️

Lo Stato Sociale's homage to Skiantos

Okay i know very little italian culture, but here's what i've gathered from interviews and Wikipedia.

Skiantos were a comedy punk band from Bologna, formed in 1975. Apparently some of their live concerts were something like early Lo Stato Sociale tours and performances where, as the regaz say, they had an album of 25 min so they did stand up comedy and basically were fooling around to make the concert last longer. But Skiantos did performances instead of singing on purpose, apparently you could go to a Skiantos concert several times and never hear them sing.

What we see here is a homage to one of Skiantos most famous performances. According to wiki "On April 2, 1979 they participated to Bologna Rock, a punk rock and new wave festival, and their performance caused a lot of buzz. Skiantos brought on stage a kitchen, a table, a TV and a fridge, put to boil the spaghetti and then ate them, without playing anything; the audience protested, and Antoni (Roberto Antoni, leader of the band) responded "You do not understand a fucking thing: this is avant-garde, you piece-of-shit audience."

So it's not only lss making a reference to this thing, but also the song with the lyrics "siete pubblico di merda"

PS. I love lodo so much, when he was chosen to host primo maggio concert, he opened it with mi sono rotto il cazzo - a song that was apparently banned by the orgs in their previous appearances, and he also brought all his indie friends to sing skiantos together bless him

[idyotnaj1409]

Late 2015, nung napanood ko kayo sa gayo daejeon. Wala akong balak magstan ng another group nun kasi okay na sa akin na Girls' Generation at Red Velvet ang ini-stan ko officially. Pero noong napanood ko iyung performance niyo sa MBC Music Festival, na-lss ako sa Me Gustas Tu pero pinigilan ko kasi ayaw ko na nga madagdagan ng group pero ewan ko ba, dumating na ako sa point na hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at nagdownload na ako ng mga kanta niyo at nagustuhan ko ang mga beat. Hindi ko na tanda ang exact date pero ang naaalala ko dali-dali akong nagdownload ng kanta niyo dahil nung araw na iyon ay pupunta kami sa airport para sunduin si Nanay galing America. Doon na ako nagdesisyon na sige na nga, gugustuhin ko na sila. At nung dumating ang showcase ng Rough noong January 25, 2016, doon ako naging official fan niyo at sakto pang nireveal niyo na ang fandom name niyo ay "Buddy". Simula nun, sinubaybayan ko na ang bawat comeback niyo, bawat release niyo ng mga kanta. Lagi kong hinihintay ang mga ballad song niyo sa bawat album niyo. Hanggang sa dumating iyung concert niyo dito sa bansa. Nakailang balik din kayo dito pero ni-isa wala akong napuntahan 😭 umaasa pa naman ako na someday makakapunta rin ako ng concert niyo pero ngayon, hindi ko na alam 💔 Masakit kasi biglaan. Okay lang naman na hindi kayo magrenew ng contract eh pero huwag lang disband pero sabi nga, hindi lahat ng gusto ay makukuha. Pero umaasa pa rin ako na pwede kayong pumirma ng kontrata sa ibang agency pero kung mangyayari nga, siguradong maraming pagbabago. Peroooo, hindi ko na alam 😔 Thank you so much, Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, Sinb, at Umji sa six years of being our GFRIEND. Thank you sa lahat ng hardwork at patience niyo para mapunta sa kung nasaan kayo. Goodbye is a word I haven't learned yet and I think I'll never learned. Masakit, sobra. Pero kung masakit sa amin na fans niyo siguradong mas masakit 'to para sa inyo. Please be okay, 여자친구. We will always be your Buddies, GFRIEND or not. I hope may chance pa sa future na maging kompleto kayo at magkapagperform sa iisang stage. Sa ngayon, we'll support you in your individual plans. Please be healthy and be happy. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJPlX8jIo5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Master’s Degree Thoughts

I have been looking a long time for a Master’s degree in Leadership or Organizational Management. The expenses for said degree can range from $12K-50K in tuition costs. Why so much? Does it really cost that much to learn about leading and managing your assets in order to meet a common goal?

As I was reading some of the course requirements, I was thinking about all the things I have done over the years and what others like me have done as well:

Leading and managing sailors, contractors and civilians from diverse backgrounds and training to meet the national security missions;

Planning and executing large events like concerts, fleet weeks, hurricanes, national threats, convoys, ship visits, port visits, retirements, VIPS, etc;

Training on leadership through: LSS, TQL, TQM, Covey’s leadership, Maxwell’s leadership principles, process improvements, root cause Anaylsis, and others that were taught by the Navy;

Managing multimillion dollar contracts and providing feedback for those contracts to get funded;

Assisting in grant writings in order for non federal government agencies to receive funding, hoping the collateral will benefit the security needs you lack;

Managing resources and using ideas to save the government thousands of dollars in both man hours and monies;

Collecting data and submitting point papers to leaders above for equipment, training and manning;

Managing over 30 data collection points for the DOD that produce nothing in return, but more questions;

Authoring standard operating procedures, emergency action plans, pre plan responses, and several other documents that meet the mission’s needs per higher directives;

Ensuring training plans are carried out with feedback for improvement;

Overseeing training requirements and ensuring all your employees are meeting those requirements;

Preparing and participating in different levels of assessments and inspections which test current capabilities that are already lacking in the required support to meet the DOD expectations;

Drafting memorandum of understandings, inter service agreements, and standard of forces agreement with local agencies in order to meet the requirements set forth in high guidance;

Taking the time to learn the civilian Human Resources rules and requirements for fair labor and unions;

Mentoring subordinates who want to achieve higher success;

Counseling those who are not meeting the basic requirements and holding them accountable with some type of administrative or disciplinary action;

Managing operating budgets and labor dollars, which are constantly looked at by the comptrollers as an opportunity for cuts;

Ensuring ethical business practices are done;

Justifying our existence to the bean counters who cannot measure security in the sense that when nothing happens that is a good day;

Managing equipment that has either been in service too long for operation, or has no service plan at all and you have to manage a way to make sure they will meet the response times or communication requirements

There are several more examples I could list, but the bottom line is this: money, leadership, management, Human Resources, asset management, ethics, etc, have already been exercised in one form or another with little to no assistance from the chain of command.

So you see, a lot of the security professionals out there are meeting and exceeding the requirements for a masters degree in leadership and organization management based off of real life events. The colleges these days are making money off of their course, and the sad part is a lot of folks I have talked to who get these degrees have not met the stress of the angry foreign national, Admiral, contractor or dependent in real life. They have no idea how to act in the “heat” and if you tell me the degree helps you research, you can rest assure a lot of us have done that already just to save our own behinds or the behinds of our bosses.

There are so many free resources for training out there, and these educational institutions are charging way too much for something that may not add much value to your career to begin with.

Don’t get me wrong, I think education is important for a few of our folks, like doctors, lawyers and such, but a lot of other careers are tried and true by going through processes first hand.

Over the years I have interviewed with a lot of companies and have been asked about examples, and when I lay them out, they are amazed that we are even trained in some of the areas or had been exposed to said opportunities.

I know some of you will disagree, and that is ok. I will save my money and use it for something else.

To all the first responder professionals, keep up the great work and remember it goes without saying that you truly are the best of the best and all of you are Masters in your skill even if you don’t have the certificate.

Ben and Ben

Kathang Isip... Nakilala ko ang bandang ito dahil sa kantang ito. Sino ba ang di nagkaroon ng “Kathang isip” in some ways of our lives? Then, boom-boom-boom. Sunod sunod ang gawa nila ng kanta na tagos sa puso. Not a fan that moment. Alam ko lang nage-exist ang B&B. Never pa ko nakapunta sa mga gig nila (up to this date). Nakita ko pa nga si Miguel sa Glorietta Noong November of 2019. Still, that moment, di pa din ako fan ng Bens.

So ito na nga. LOCKDOWN/ECQ ang buong Pinas, then wala akong magawa sa office, nood-nood lang ng random videos. That time, may mga ilan ng naka save sa phone ko na kanta nila. Tapos napanood ko kung pano sila kaabnormal sa Chalk interview. That moment sabi ko sarili ko, “sana maging tropa ko ‘tong mga may saping ‘to”. Ang kukulit eh. Hanggang sa na-adik na ko kakanood ng mga kakulitan-video compilation nila. Halos lahat ng interview nila, pinapanood ko, at kahit paulit ulit, nakakatawa pa din eh. Dati kay Miguel lang ako nagwagwapuhan sa grupo nila. Habang pinapanood ko sila, beeeem, si Keifer, ang lakas ng dating. Mas trip ko sya na walang bigote. Then sya ang taga pray sa grupo nila. Dagdag pogi points. Then, Jam, geeez sarap gawing keychain lalo na pag tumatawa sya na wala ng tumatawa sya na lang ang matagal maka get over sa joke. Super kyottttieee tumawa. Poch and Andrew, super talented!! Nung nagpaulan ng talent, nasalo ata nitong dalawang ‘to eh. Actually, silang siyam. Kahit anong instrument ibigay mo sa kanila, super sisw yung pagamit nila sa mga instrument plus their voice. Pero nakakatuwa yung boses ni Pat. Confidence make her more beautiful! Agnes as a simple pero rock sa stage. Si Toni, parang sya yung matured sa grupo, tipong taga saway, pero di nya masaway kasi makukulit. Si Pao, lupit ng boses nito lupit! 

Base sa napapanood ko YouTube, si Andrew yung taga pagpatawa ng tropa. Si Jam ang taga tawa. Si Miguel ang madaldal sa tropa. Si Pao yung antukin at late makagets ng joke. Si Poch at Pat ang aso’t puso sa tropa. Si Pat at Agnes ang magjowa sa tropa.Si Keifer ang maka Diyos sa tropa. Si Toni ang walang magawa kasi yun yung nasamahan nyang tropa, pero masaya sya. 

Isa pa sa kinatutuwa ko sa Bens, they make song as one. Hindi gawa ng isa lang. Credit sa lahat. Wala lakas lang ng ganun kasi yun yung naging fail sa Queen na group. 

Here’s my top 5 fave music of Ben and Ben;

War

Bibingka

Masyado pang Maaga 

Mitsa

Araw-araw

Pagtingin (plus lang hehe)

Sinusubukan ko din tugtugun sa ukulele mga kantahan nila. Ang saya pag nakukuha ko yung tono. Pero malayong malayo sa bagsakan nila.

During ECQ ko sila minahal. Pinanood ko sa YT ang LSS. Nanghihinayang ako na super late ko sila minahal, pero naniniwala ako na makakanood ako ng concert nila at makita silang lahat in person. Ok lang kahit di ko sila maging tropa. Basta makita ko sila in person. Mas masaya ako kung malalaman kong nasa isang gig/event ang Bens and Parokya. Di malabo yun kasi nangyari na yun. Magaantay na lang akong matapos ang lahat ng ito.

Sana mas magamit pa ang Bens para malabas ang nilalaman ng puso na di masabi. Keep on making music. Keep that lutang/sabaw moments, or natural nyo yan? Mahal ko kayo BEN & BEN!

PS. Currently playing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QbywkkCqG4 as my background song while writing this blog. Happy listening guys! ♥
