#talking in Spanish to the computer program so I'm happy for him

[theoogtree]

Father has been learning Spanish because he's retiring soon and I guess he wants to be that white guy that goes on vacations to Mexico and he bought the lifetime Rosetta Stone thing which gives him all 25 languages and I've been watching him do some of his little lessons and you do not have to type so my point is after being cockblocked by chronic pain for like 5 years finally I will get back around to learning Korean \o/

OT 2023 - GALA 3

Here's last gala!

This gala was so good omg?????? I am super impressed by all of them, I can't wait to see what they can do in like Gala 11. ALSO IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!! I figured out how to record my screen so I have done that with all the performances I will talk about below and I have put them on a google drive file, I will do this with all galas from now on in case you wanna check the full performances <3

Speaking of, here's the link to the gala 3 google drive folder with the performances !!!

Update 28/01. I've updated all links to the full performances in the gala.

Now let's go with the honorable mentions :)

I Kissed a Girl - Violeta and Chiara: Now this... this is yuri. I do not ship them but I'm happy for the girlies who do, the program knew what they were doing with this performance. I love the scenography and the choreography being extremely glee coded, and also THE LOCKERS PART ????? OH MY GOD???? Also also, i find it so funny how people got scandalized at the kiss at the end cause Violeta has a girlfriend... bestie the song is called I kissed a girl what did you think was gonna happen

Dime - OT 2023: First of all THEY UPLOADED THE FULL PERFORMANCE TO YOUTUBE LET'S REJOICE. And second of all... nothing but respect for my national anthem !!!!!! Dime is such a bop and they were so good... I'm so happy that they're slaying group songs it's what they deserve. ALSO THE BEGINNING WITH RUSLANA OMG

La canción más hermosa del mundo - Omar: I might have chose this song exclusively because I freaking love it... he did good as well honestly. He will be missed. Anyways, please listen to it, I actually prefer Manuel Carrasco's version (the one Omar covered! The original is by Joaquín Sabina btw). And it's super long so I'm glad they kept my favourite line for this version, '¿Qué harías tú si Adelita se fuera con un comisario?' ('What would you do if Adelita eloped with a policeman?') which is a reference to a very famous Lorca play and <333333

Top 3 below!

3. TÓMAME O DÉJAME - NAIARA

Here is the original song, by Mocedades <3

Just... wow. She has the first solo of the edition, and I predict that, just with the previous first solos (Aitana, Julia and Flavio) she will be a finalist. For sure. Honestly she could even win. Naiara has the best voice of the edition, and she shined more than ever with this song. Absolutely incredible. Also, speaking of the song !!! The lyrics are absolutely brutal, I would say this is one of the most heart-wrenching songs ever written in Spanish. It is about a woman that knows her husband has a lover and she's trying to keep it together. It's incredible, really, 10/10 no notes.

2. INMORTAL - MARTIN & RUSLANA:

Here is the original song by La Oreja de Van Gogh !!!!!!

If you have followed me for a while you KNOW how I feel about La Oreja de Van Gogh so you can imagine how happy I was they were doing Inmortal !!! And they were so good !!!! Martin and Ruslana are the youngest of the bunch and they have an adorable friendship, you can see the chemistry! Also they're both incredible actors, I am obsessed with the acting in the final performance, just *chef's kiss*

1. UNHOLY - BEA, JUANJO & ÁLVARO:

Here is the original song, by Sam Smith and Kim Petras :)

This is the reason I learned to screen record on my computer YOU NEED TO WATCH THE GALA PERFORMANCE. Easily the best and most iconic performance of the edition for now. I was speechless all the performance, the three of them were perfect and everything was just... insane. Álvaro was in his comfort zone and he looked so happy, Juanjo demonstrated his INSANE VERSATILITY like no one is doing it like him. And Bea... deserved favorite. Absolutely the best in the gala. She HAS to be a finalist. Honestly the three of them should.

And that's everything!!! I'm posting this the day after Gala 4 so I already know how everything goes lol. I'll post the gala 4 top 3 tomorrow :)

[taesthetes]

vn army anon says hi~ no, i don't bake or cook (i think i'm terrible at both but if i don't forget to turn off the oven on time i think i'm able to get something together haha). i'm actually quadrilingual hihi^^ i speak 4 languages fluently (hopefully) & i used to learn spanish at school but only for 1 semester bc our teacher got sick & there was no one teaching it so it was cancelled. i haven't remembered any of it except for common words most ppl know lol. i wanna learn korean tho & i hate my–

–laziness☹️ anyways i wanna study languages in future as well so hopefully i’d graduate to get there. and what field are you studying at uni, if you don’t mind me asking? mine was shadowhunters🙂 i actually had a blog about american shows first, it was multifandom. some of mains were shadowhunters/tmi, teen wolf, flash, etc. that blog lasted the longest tho (over 1 year?) & the most creations so far were published on there. now it’s just as an archiver for my works. and that fic was soo good,–

you described yoongi so well, the character was so him omg. okay, you’re overrating me, i’m not that good in PS😂 i only have a basic knowledge. omg i actually enjoy playing around in PS & designing stuff sounds cool & fun so i like the idea of studying designing as well but i’m sure i won’t make it since i’m weak at other subjects besides languages. yes, i was also thinking of semi-hiatus. and i’m actually the one who’s honored to talk to you. i’m glad you didn’t ignore my asks & we’re even–

–talking more i thought you’d already be tired of my long a– posts😂 oh i’ll always be happy to share with you my thoughts, it’s an honor for me to share them with such a great writer as you💗 my all time fave book is “where rainbows end” by cecelia ahern. there’s a movie adaptation “love, rosie” with lily collins as female lead (my fave actress) & sam claflin~ and i loved it so much! charming, witty & sad; as the story grows though, it leaves you with a glimpse of hope & a warm fuzzy feeling–

–inside. definitely recommending! the book’s in a form of letters & messages which leaves an interesting impression on the reader, plus it’s easy to understand. there are reviews that the book didn’t have to be that long but i still liked it & hopefully you will too if you’ll consider reading it^^ also i saw a movie called “stuck in love” (with lily again :D & logan lerman) and i thought it was also adapted from a book because i felt like there could be so much more of the story behind–

–but it’s not, what a pity, i’d love to read the book. i’m recommending that movie as well but not sure if you’d welcome it. a similar one to the genre is “perks of being a wallflower” by stephen chbosky which i liked both book + movie version. and “one day” by david nicholls is worth a read, trust me! oh sorry, i went straight on recommending books & movies haha my asks are way too long again 😅 have a miraculous day, beautiful ✨🌹

hey, raindrop!! i’m gonna put my answer under the cut because it got really long, so i hope you don’t mind! 💕

ahaha you remind me of my sister with the oven thing; i always have to make sure she turns it off or else our house is probably gonna burn down. omg that’s amazing!! i wish i knew more languages! you’re so talented :o wow, i only know 2 ½ languages haha i’m decent enough in spanish because of high school classes, but i’m not entirely fluent yet. adjhfasaskdf i’m in awe- you’re gonna be quintilingual (?) when you learn korean too 😱 oooh omg, are you in college and majoring in languages if you don’t mind me asking?

i’m currently a computer science engineering and business finance double major! but actually, i think i’ll be switching to business finance and studio arts double major with an entrepreneurship minor. i figured that i might as well take one major that i actually enjoy (thus, studio arts) – i really do like engineering, so i’m still going to be a member of several engineering society/clubs, but i don’t love it enough, so i don’t think i’ll enjoy working in that field for the rest of my life.

oooh omg, i’ve been meaning to read that series, but i never had the time to yet. i hear there’s a bunch of series? like the mortal instruments is one of them, i think? i’ve never watched any of those shows 😅 i mostly only watch crime shows and a couple cooking ones and comedy ones. ah, well, that blog is like a good memory of your old fandoms then! i have an inactive blog from my exo days haha

adjkhfalskda thank you so much!!! i love writing yoongi’s character; i think police yoongi is probably one of my absolute favorites to write. asjkdhflaskjf nah, i’m sure you’re actually really great with PS!! the first time i tried using it, i had so much trouble trying to maneuver around with all the various options and controls they had, but it was still really fun playing around with it. and you should go for it! if PS and graphics is your passion, you should study designing! or maybe study both design and languages? the classes won’t be so bad if you enjoy it, right? wouldn’t classes be more focused around designing? like with engineering, i basically have no english classes and i only needed a couple science classes; the rest of the classes was specified for engineering, like mechanics, frugal innovations, programming, math, etc.

i would never ignore your asks!! i really like talking to you and reading all your messages 💞 asdjhfalsjkfd and thank you so much omg :’)  and i’ve seen “love, rosie”! lily collins is such an amazing actress and she’s so pretty, and sam claflin is very attractive wow he’s great, too. i haven’t read the book, but i’ll definitely try reading it! i’ll see if one of the local libraries have it, so i can request for it. oooh yes, that form of writing always intrigued me; i think it would be fun to tell a story entirely with letters from two correspondents or like a diary format from the perspective of one person. i’m excited to see you write a bts fic in this style if you do decide to write it!!

and i’ll definitely watch the movie “stuck in love” too! i just read the summary of it, and it sounds really interesting!! it does sound like it’d be a wonderful book as well. i think i’ll watch it tonight or tomorrow :D i have read the perks of being a wallflower and i enjoyed it, but i never actually seen the movie yet surprisingly. and i will add one day to my reading list, too! hopefully, they’ll also have it at the library. and that’s totally okay! i’d love to hear about any recs you have :D if you have any more, i’d love to know about them, too! and i hope you have an amazing day/night, too, raindrop!! 💗✨
