#6: Ladies Code - My Flower

Ladies Code’s comeback is more than i could expect. I’m glad that they’re back and I’m so proud of how far they’ve come this past year :’) 

But anyways, My Flower is the type of song that you listen to when you just want to forget everything, or maybe you might become more overwhelmed by worries. I’ve listened to this over and over again and I felt various emotions. 

Some times I felt like this song flooded my mind with all these worries that I’ve been thinking about and I start to believe I’ve gone crazy. It made me want to curl up in a ball on my bed under the covers and be with my feelings. maybe cry for a bit. 

Other times it was soothing and comforting. The beats and slow rise and fall through out the song was exhilarating to listen to. I felt free from all the stress and i could totally fall asleep to this. It was almost like I was flying in the clouds under pastel skies (very cheesy to say but it’s true) and i could stay there for as long as i wanted. 

The song itself is quite sad, so of course I feel sad whenever I listen to this. But nowadays i’m getting tired of self-pitying. I’m so sick of being sad all the time. I want to be more optimistic, but no matter how much i say that, it’s so hard to do.

I have no reason to be sad except that I’m not happy with the person I’ve become. I see myself as a weak hearted person who’s afraid to step out of her comfort zone. I’m so afraid of many things, i’m afraid of failure, embarrassment, emotions, intimacy, commitment (no i’m not talking about my love-life bc i dont have one lol), and uncertainty.

All these fears are causing me to hide in my comfort zone. I don’t want to face it. I’m too weak to change it. and I hate that about myself. Why can’t I be brave? Why do I have to do this to myself? What am I making it so hard? I wish I could magically change with a simple flip of a switch.

Now i’m gonna mope about my feelings instead of studying for exams that are coming up next week. i’ve lost motivation. what have i become

#5: Bts- intro: Nevermind

There’s so much angst in this song and the lyrics are fucking genius that I get goosebumps when I listen to it. suga is a genius and im so happy that i stan him and bts for making music that they enjoy. 

Nevermind wasn’t something that I could relate to at first, but with my situation now, i think listening to this helps me get through the day,.... or it just makes me feel like my emotions are validated and it’s okay to feel this way.

when he says “if you feel like you’re about to crash, accelerate more” it was motivating me to not be lesser than I can be. I’m not at my fullest capacity and I can do better than to give up.

“there are things in the world that you can’t help” rapmon’s part was a reassuring touch to the song because I’m so worried about things that are out of my control (but i still have a lot of things are i can control, but i don’t have guts to do) that can’t be changed. I have to learn to accept what happens to me and take it in.

i don’t give a shit, i dont give a fuck. spoken like a true hero suga. i love when bts swears and when suga said this im like yeeesss say it like you mean it! and it also made me feel liberated bc there’s so much angst and sadness in me that i just need to swear at the top of my lungs with no fucks to give about who hears me. 

also, i recently listened to (or should i say revisited) cypher pt 2 and shit it went so hard!!!!! like damn they roasted b-free and i’m just laughing on the inside because its genius hahaha

Kpop Dreaming!

I had another kpop dream and i wish it would come true although it was ridiculous lol

so bts was getting ready to perform and jungkook was prepping with his mic and touching up his makeup. the boys were all talking about something like jungkook going to school or some shit.

they were going to perform some thing like in the musical you know like flamboyant moves and over dramatic expression which is quite funny to me. But anyways, I was sitting in the audience, cross legged next to a friend and i remember jhope being the star of the show lol and when it was finishing, all of the sudden jungkook came up behind me and said something to my ear and I jumped out of shocked and i turned around and he was laughing his very adorable laugh and im like dead because he came into close proximity from me and when i woke up i was very sad that its never gonna happen D:

damn jungkook has been catching my eye lately. first it was jin, then taehyung, then jhope, and now jungkook. fuck why am i doing this when i should be studying for bio and writing 2 essays haha im so happy with my life right now :))) i’ve resolved all my interpersonal problems and kpop has been my reward for becoming a better person :))) i’ve become a much better student :))) and my mind is not in a frenzy anymore :))) i’m exercising more and eating healthier :))) wow life goals :)))))

do you guys remember the intro to skool luv affair, the one where suga jhop and rapmon meshed their styles of music together. yeah i need a full version of rapmon’s seriously his style went so hard that I nearly started screaming 이게 한 마디로 BANGTAN STYLE! when i was in the library

siiigh now i gotta get back to studying because i spent 2 hours watching videos. 

wtf did i choose this major.......

#4: BTS - I Need U

I fell back in love with INU lol it’s just perfect to listen to in every situation like when im walking, resting, sleeping, running (even though I don’t run lol). theres just so much angst and emotions in this song that i feel like my emotions have been released and i feel so satisfied. like YEAH JUNGKOOK YOU SING THAT CHORUS LET OUT YOUR FEELINGS. idk wtf im saying

the amount of badassery in this song gets me really pumped up and my emotions are on high. I feel some sort of mix of sadness and happiness and it really screws me up

Im back from winter break and i miss my home so much. I miss sleeping in and not having to worry about school or work. I miss watching kdramas and bts videos everyday and eating whatever i wanted, whenever i wanted. I miss my family and my friends dearly.

I have so much to do for this new semester and work is giving me anxiety as usual. with this added responsibility of having to buy books, worksheets, figuring out classes, my major, and a surplus of other things, i feel like im having a mental breakdown.

normally, i’m a very sensitive, weak person. i cant handle unexpected situations well, stress is my worst nightmare, emergencies and accidents are horrendous, stepping out of my comfort zone is even worse. I cant handle things well. Im not optimistic or confident in myself. so im not sure how this new semester will treat me and if i’ll be able to make it.

this stress is causing me to think about stuff i dont want to because its gonna make things worse. i dont want to be here in my dorm anymore. i want to trash this place and break every piece of shitty furniture in this room and vandalize the hall with my hidden anger. see? this is what bts does to me. i shouldn’t be listening to INU. theres so many things that i just hate about this place and i want to break every rule, every hierarchy, every social norm, and let out my pent up anger. 

i do have to admit that im scared. theres so many questions that are unanswered and its giving me anxiety. what if i cant handle this semester what if i mess this up and i have to live with this regret, guilt, embarrassment forever. am i just paranoid, do i need to see a doctor, is this really the life i want?! wth am i doing? im really contemplating if this is all important enough for me to continue, but im so scared about disappointing my parents, and myself. 

I need a future me to tell me that everything is gonna be alright and that what im doing now, what im feeling now, what im scared of now, is perfectly okay. that everything will fall into place and lead to a better future. I need a future me to comfort me like no one else has and lend me a shoulder to lean on. I NEED U GIRL! yeah i guess thats how bts fits into this rant.  

at this point, im ready to throw away my good girl image and live a rebellious life not giving a fuck if i skip class and spend time on finding my true self. but my morals are keeping me from doing. but i think my morals are changing as well. 

when i listen to inu, it makes me want to run away. and ‘run’ is no exception either.

#3: AOA - Time

first, can I just say how happy I am to see BTS win 1st place on mubank?!? and rapmon is back!!! and then their encore stage was so cute they looked more energized now that they’ve rested and im just so proud of how far they’ve come and im so thankful that they’ve released such amazing music despite working so much this year

Damn AOA knows how to do slow songs. I’ve listened to their Like a Cat and Heart Attack album and those ballads are on fire. my heart cries ;;

tbh the first time i listened to this, i felt really depressed lol i was going through a lil heartbreak and thought of how things never work out but now that i listen to it, the same sad feeling applies differently. 

now i think of how i wish time would go back so that i could redo things, relive days, or change some things. There are things that I regret not doing and words that I wanted to say but out of fear, I didn’t. Seeing how my life is now, I want to change my past so that i could live happier than I am currently.

and i know people say the past is the past, live in the present, and stuff but its hard. i can’t live in the present when i feel like its shit and i want to go back to the past and change history. I want to make everyday a good day but I regret so many things that I can’t move on. 

time passes and i feel more lost than ever. I don’t know who I am as a person. I dont know what the future is like and if I can even handle it. all of this is due to my past. the things i did and didn’t do have led to now and potentially later and if i knew it’d be like this, I would’ve done things differently. 

I’m not happy with the person i’ve become. Im not as great as I want to be. i’m not the person my 12 year old self was hoping to be. 

I want to see my future and if i’ll be living a happier life and if i was able to change myself. i want to see if i have become someone great who my 12 year old self could admire. times like this make me wish magic was real so that i can fulfill this desire of mine. uuuggggghhhhh why am i so depressing :(

My Favorite 20 2015 Releases

[kpopculture]

My journey as an ARMY

if it’s not obvious already, i’m bts trash.

i was watching jrekml’s new video and that led me to think about how I became an ARMY. Honestly, bts makes me really happy, and i mean it. 

In the beginning, I didn’t pay any attention to them because there were tons of new groups debuting and I didn’t have the will to look into them. I already loved snsd sooo much that I felt they were enough for me and i didn’t need anybody else lol 

So fast forward to a year later. Boy in luv has been released and I was at my friends house. she was talking about bts and I was say “i’ve heard of them but I dont really know them and she shows me the mv. my first thought was that the song was pretty good. Like, i was surprised. it was so catchy that it kept replaying in my head. and the choreo was mind-blowing i couldn’t handle how well they danced and were synchronized. 

I went back home and looked at more videos of them and i watched the sbs performance practice and ngl i got goosebumps like damn. and then i spent more time watching rookie king and bangtan bombs and i thought “these guys are weird” but i kept watching and watching and watching. soon i decided that i was becoming an ARMY because it didn’t feel like i was going through a phase. I went through a suju phase, exo, infinite, apink, 2pm, got7, 2ne1 and many other phases. But bts was solid. I felt like i could love this group forever and that i could call myself an ARMY without hesitation.

and then recently, i’ve been feeling more attached to them. like i couldn’t get enough of them so i rewatched many of their old videos and i literally spent all day watching bts vids. this was the same feeling i felt when i was just becoming a sone and i felt like they were my world and that i cared so deeply about them and i devoted my time to expressing my love for them and i think this will be the same for bts. 

i still love snsd (and jessica) but bts is something new. I dont want to sound like an ungrateful bitch but i feel like snsd’s latest comebacks weren’t as good as the ones in the past, imho. like, i was really looking forward to lion heart, you think, and party but there was something missing, and no it wasnt jessica. maybe the songs weren’t as impressive as others idk. 

when igab came out in 2013 i was really really excited. I watched all their live performances, all of their interviews and everything. the album was bomb and the whole igab concept was fucking glorious. the same goes with the boys in 2011. the teaser was flame like jfc yuri killed me. that era was glorious. but i think mr mr was when it started going down hill, not a steep hill, but like a slight descent. they did really well on the charts like always but again, something was missing. i cant figure it out. maybe it’s just me..

whatever it is, i still stan snsd and bts but right now bts has me hooked. like i have so much love for them and i seriously hope that they’ll become more and more successful this year.

(i feel really sorry to my snsd followers on my main who keep seeing bts on their dash. im so sorry and i completely understand if they unfollow me because im bts hoe)

#2: J-rabbit - Talking about love

I found this gem in my long list of songs when I was bored one day. It’s an OST from Flower Boy Next Door which I remember watching like waaaaay back when i was going through puberty lol. I still love this song and it gives me warm feelings inside when I listen to it omg its such a sweet song.

While listening to it, I could imagine myself with a significant other, us sitting in our apartment balcony watching the sunset on a sunday evening with a nice view of the ocean or maybe even the Eiffel Tower. a girl can only dream.........

Anyways, I started rewatching Flower Boy Next Door and I find that I could relate with Dok Mi. Maybe if I become a hermit one day I’ll be living next door to some flower boys and finally face my fears but that’s highly unlikely lol. I do recommend giving this drama a try. It’s not my all time favorite but I like seeing how Dok Mi changes through out the show.

When I Listen To This Song

#1: Park Boram - Hyehwa-dong

Not only does Reply 1988 make me cry with the slice of life moments, it also ruins me when i listen to Boram’s cover of Hyehwa-dong. The song is basically a trip down memory lane to childhood. And listening to this pulls a heartstring. 

I usually play this when I’m walking alone through campus back to my dorm (which takes 2 huge ass hills to get back to and im always sweating when i get back). Something about walking while listening to this is very depressing. Nostalgia maybe? I feel like wanting to be a kid again, not having to deal with grades, money, unfamiliar places. 

I want to go back to the days when 99% of the time I was comfortable and content on a day to day basis. When I didn’t give a damn about the future and how I’ll survive by myself, because I had people I loved to play with, who would always be there to hang out, and parent who would cook me food and buy things for me..

Now that I’m almost 20, I’m starting to know what it feels like to be independent. First year of college has been a huge life lesson, but I’ve learned much more than how to study and work at the same time. 

I’ve learned what it really feels like to be alone. For weeks I spent time by myself, in my dorm, eating by myself, Saturday nights by myself, closing myself off from the world. It felt horrible. 

More than anything, at that time, I needed someone to talk to who would listen to my issues and tolerate my venting. But what i was scared most of was people. 

I guess you could say I’m shy. I wasn’t comfortable with the idea of talking to new people, because I feared they would get tired of me. I was scared of the awkwardness due to my boring personality. I didn’t (and still don’t) know how to converse well enough to make myself sound interesting. If im not itneresting, then who’s gonna have the will to talk? 

So I haven’t yet found that group of friends that’s depicted on movies and stories. I hate it. and I hated admitting that. It took a while to admit that I was lonely and i wasn’t okay with it, although i try to act like i am.

It feels terrible to not have one single person who knows you. Truly knows you. Every single habit, preference, personality, actions, and thought process. It feels like you’re surviving alone in this world. It’s possibly the worst feeling I’ve ever felt. I know I may sound dramatic, but this is completely new to me and I don’t know how to deal with it.

This is a whole other issue that can go on. My point with this is that, like Hyehwa-dong, I wish to go back to my childhood where I would play with my friends and cousins everyday, ride our bikes around the neighborhood and pretend we were on missions to find clues, have sleepovers every weekend and resist going home the next morning. It was so much more comfortable.

Now, lives have changed and new people have been met. Although things have changed, I’d want to revisit those days whether it’s through a reunion or by listening to this song.
