messages from 2016′s nu’est to 2017′s nu’est + their achievements in 2017

(trans cr: NU’EST ENGSUBS)

“2017 was an unforgettable year for us, a year in which most of our wishes became reality, so we’re really thankful for our LOVEs for making our dreams happen! Just like how we received a lot in 2017, we hope that in 2018, we’ll be able to present better music and different sides of ourselves to everyone.” - JR

Everyone goes through seasons of disappointment or difficulty. We all have unexpected setbacks. Maybe you’re going through something right now that you don’t understand. Here’s the good news: that disappointment is not the final chapter. God never ends in a negative. If you will keep moving forward with your life, God promises that He will bring you to a flourishing finish. Not a defeated finish, a bankrupt finish, a betrayed finish, or a barely-get-by finish. No, in your future, God has a victorious finish.

That setback, disappointment or betrayal that seems like it’s working against you, God knows how to turn it around and cause it to work for you. The key is that when you’re in difficult times, don’t settle where you are. Don’t put your roots down and think that things are never going to change. No, for every setback, God has already lined up a comeback. For every injustice, He has vindication. For every disappointment, He has restoration. Right now, just begin to thank Him for what He’s going to do. Praise Him for His faithfulness. Rejoice today because He has a plan to bring you into a flourishing finish!

Now it more seem impossible to reach and to hold you

I always hold back my feelings

I am so scared of letting you know

Of how much I love you

How can I confess to you now

Minhyun: “We have to be more humble. Always be humble.”

NU'EST’s participation on Produce 101 season 2 has brought upon a lot of scrutinize on the boys, and definitely on us, the L.O.V.E fandom. Dear L.O.V.Es, things we do or say can and will reflect on the boys. Just like Minhyun said - we have to be humble, and careful of our actions. There had been a lot of upsetting moments, frustrations and unjust assumptions, but those are not reasons for us to get warped in bitterness. 

There’s a lot of posts and anger directed to Pledis, but there’s nothing worth your time to focus on it right now. As Baekho mentioned in the interview, they had lower and lower album sales each time, and we have to ask ourselves, how many of us supported them during the most crucial promotion period? L.O.V.Es, let’s stop the hate for a moment and reflect upon ourselves, then build ourselves up from square zero again with the boys. 

Help to guide new fans and show them what NU’EST have to offer; pick no fights with those who attack us and they will pass us by; never put someone else down to elevate the boys’ because that is exactly the same as what they are going through right now; respond with tactfulness when needed; show support with gifs and encouraging messages, with likes on videos and positive comments. Remember, we are called L.O.V.Es, so let us focus on the positive, and spread the love. We are in it together, and we have to be more humble, we have to always be humble.

Sincerity is what touches people, positive mindset is what makes them stay, and humility is what helps us grow. Keep supporting the boys in any ways you can, and be awesome, fellow L.O.V.Es!

As I’ve watched Saving Sally yesterday, the almost dying fire inside me started burning again – it starts becoming brighter once again. Maybe I saw myself in both Marty and Sally or maybe the creators of Saving Sally. I remembered my dream. I remembered myself years ago. I don’t really have definite plans when I graduated high school. I don’t really know what my dream was. Siguro sobrang taas lang ng pangarap ko kaya hindi ko maisip na ayun pala talaga ang pangarap ko. May life map kaming ginawa nung HS, ang nilagay ko dun, pangarap kong maging isang director. Bongga! Anyway, fast forwad. Muntikan na akong mag-enroll na as Communication Arts student, pero wow! Tila hindi yata ako laan para sa degree na ‘to. I saw “something new” – “BS in Entertainment and Multimedia Computing”. Sabi ko sarili ko, parang mas maganda yata ‘to CA. Napaka-attractive ng pangalan ng degree na ‘to. Parang kinabukasan yata simula nung nakita ko ‘yun, nag-enroll na ako! Hahaha ganun ako ka-excited ng panahon na ‘yun. So going back, I want film pero may specializations lang pala ang offer sa UE – Digital Animation and Game Development. Medyo naguluhan pa ako nung una, but I decided to take Digital Animation instead. I was an anime fan back then; maybe taking animation wouldn’t be that bad?  May mga pagkakataong napatatanong ako, bakit nga ba ako nag-DA? Nakaka-stress. Inaamin ko sa sarili ko na, I’m not artistic enough to even take this degree. Parang gusto yata sisihin ang anime kung bakit ko kinuha ‘to. Hahaha. Sa sobrang dami ng stress na naramdaman ko, dumating sa puntong wala na akong gana. Yung tipong gusto ko na sukuan pero siguro dahil may nananatili pang apoy kahit kaunti pati na rin sa mga taong nakapaligid sa akin, hindi ko siya sinukuan. Pinagsisihan ko ba? Naisip ko, oo? Pero naniniwala ako na HINDI. Sa loob ng apat na taon ko sa unibersidad, nag-enjoy ako. So watching Saving Sally, I’ve reflected why I took DA. I got this answer, I enjoyed creating stories. It’s my dream to produce stories - stories in which people can relate and enjoy at the same time. I almost had the opportunity to achieve my dream fast when I was offered to take training as brainstormer but I let it slip away. Maybe I was too afraid at that time. I’m too young for stress, I think? Hahahaha. Sayang, pero hindi ko pinagsisihan.

Going back, there’s this animation before the movie that got me so much feels. I said to myself, “That’s it, Rhea. It’s your dream to create stories like this. You want to become part of this kind of production. Someday…Someday…” I cried watching that short animation. It’s simple yet it will make you emotional. Ah! I really want to write stories!

Then, there’s this line in the movie, “Something new”. My memories of my college days came back. I dreamed together along with my friends, our dream still lives in me. We wanted to create Something New. Yes, Marty, we also wanted Something New. Okay, this movie got me so much feels, seriously! It’s not just about love. It’s about dreams, overcoming challenges and of course, friendship! And damn, the after credit is SUPERB! They call this movie, typical but not for me. It’s something more profound if you look into it. So watch it, peeps! :D

To end this very long post, I want to thank all people behind this movie. I have relived my dream, thanks to you! Hehe :D  I know it will be a VERY long way to reach my dreams but I know I can, as long as I believe. I will be the person who I want to be. In God’s perfect time, I can reach you, my dream.

Sobrang sakit na marealize mo na wala ka talagang pag-asa. Ilan taon mo siyang minahal, pero kailanman, hindi ka niya napansin. Unrequited love is always painful. Sabi nila, be happy to see the person you love happy. Pero pano kung hindi mo magawang maging masaya? Deep inside, you're wishing that it would be you who can give him happiness. Yung akala mong ikaw lang ang magmamahal nang sobra sa kanya, kaya mo naiisip na kayang ka niyang mahalin pero hindi. Hindi yun ang takda ng tadhana. Oras na para tuluyang pakawalan ang nananatiling pakiramdam. Minahal ka nang wala kang alam. Paalam.

Learning to Like Yourself by Joyce Meyer

Did you know that you and I have to learn to deal with our do separately from our who? The fact is, I don’t do everything right all the time, but that doesn’t affect who I am. I know I’m loved and that I’m still a good person. I’ve made mistakes in my life—and I’m sure I’ll make mistakes in the future—but I still like myself.

If you like yourself—even though others may not—you’ll make it. When you start to like yourself, other people begin to like you too. Liking yourself doesn’t mean you’re full of pride; it simply means you accept yourself as the person God created you to be. We all need changes in our behavior, but accepting ourselves as God’s creation is vital to our progress in becoming an emotionally healthy person. If we can master this one thing—liking ourselves—it will work wonders in helping us to overcome a shame-based nature.

Digital painting of Ren as Leon in the movie Their Distance

[ad-quotes]

What I learned during my years in school was… to play a character. In elementary and junior high school, I acted around so I wouldn’t stand out and be left out in the classroom. At home, I played the role of a child who lived up to my parents’ expectations. In high school, when I couldn’t fulfill my parents’ expectations anymore… I played the character of a frivolous guy at home and school. Surprisingly, people accepted me saying ‘Takuto is that kind of person.’ After entering college, I didn’t have to play a character as much… but since the job hunting began, I had to play a character again. I practiced my answers for interviews… many times in front of a mirror. Someone who I just met at an interview would judge me in a few minutes… and reject me. And it feels like I’m being completely denied. If that happens 50 times, 80 times and 100 times… I would wonder why I’m still alive. I would feel like there is no point in living.

SAWADA TAKUTO, Boku no Ita Jikan

[rikumaki]

It's not that I want to die. I'm scared to live.

Takuto Sawada

[rikumaki]

Talaga naman

Panaginip nakakabaliw, nakikita nga, 'di naman natatanaw Talaga namang hanggang doon na lang, Ang pag-ibig na sana'y alay sayo'y, talaga namang... 'di na matutuloy...

8 Things to Remember When Everything Goes Wrong

[beben-eleben]

1. Pain is part of growing. Sometimes life closes doors because it’s time to move forward. And that’s a good thing because we often won’t move unless circumstances force us to. When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose. Move on from what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you. Just because you’re struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing. Every great success requires some type of worthy struggle to get there. Good things take time. Stay patient and stay positive. Everything is going to come together; maybe not immediately, but eventually.

Remember that there are two kinds of pain: pain that hurts and pain that changes you. When you roll with life, instead of resisting it, both kinds help you grow.

2. Everything in life is temporary. Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light – you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. Nothing lasts forever.

So if things are good right now, enjoy it. It won’t last forever. If things are bad, don’t worry because it won’t last forever either. Just because life isn’t easy at the moment, doesn’t mean you can’t laugh. Just because something is bothering you, doesn’t mean you can’t smile. Every moment gives you a new beginning and a new ending. You get a second chance, every second. You just have to take it and make the best of it. 

3. Worrying and complaining changes nothing. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least. It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed. It’s not over if you’ve lost; it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it. If you believe in something, keep trying. Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future. Spending today complaining about yesterday won’t make tomorrow any brighter. Take action instead. Let what you’ve learned improve how you live. Make a change and never look back.

And regardless of what happens in the long run, remember that true happiness begins to arrive only when you stop complaining about your problems and you start being grateful for all the problems you don’t have.

Sorry

I shouldn't have let my heart be confused. I shouldn't have felt that way. I should have avoided it. But why didn't I? It's all my fault, my foolish heart's fault. I am so sorry.. if I were to choose, I would choose you over that person. My love for you is real. I won't let my foolish heart be a hindrance to us. I love you, friend..
