(long letter warning !)
Binnie!
I (happily for me, sadly for you /j) return T^T im sorry I disappeared after my last post, I unfortunately had a really rough Christmas and lost both my uncle (who i was around a lot as a kid) AND my grandad in less than 2 weeks. I've only experienced this sort of thing 2 times in my life so far, so having lost another relative a couple months back...3 is a lot to handle 😔
I decided to write today because...well...its my new years resolution to stick to being consistent! And so far, its going well. I've been going to sleep at a normal time, waking up around 8/9am, making sure to eat and drink throughout the day, remembering self care at least once a day, and...a new exciting life update
...after this short break.
Speaking of being consistent, as promised, here is "what I got for Christmas: deobi edition" followed by a VERY late review of Phantasy pt 2
As you can see...the kevin corner is getting a little crowded...I may have to rearrange it all soon T^T
Staying consistent part 2 electric boogaloo:
Okay so I still haven't actually received my albums, but I put my claims in last night with the GOM, fingers crossed for your pulls so it fills the collection T^T BUT I listen to the album daily...so here's a short review
Watch it- loved it yesterday. Loved it today. Will probably love it tomorrow. Its just so???? (I can't say that word) but you know what I mean??? The styling in the MV, the instrumental, the vocals, JACOBS HIGH NOTE- its perfect. A solid 10/10 title track
Rat In The Trap- a handful of extremely talented vocalists in one song???? Sign me up. Total earworm, your vocals??? Sir??? You never fail to impress me and bless my ears. Another 10/10
Honey- honey honey honey workin for ya like a bee 🐝 ✨ um??? Id be stupid to rate it any lower than 10. 10/10 possibly breaking the scale to 11/10 I'm obsessed
Bad Luck- ill be honest, I heard it the first time and was like...h m m. I like it, but its not like...top tier material. Turns out! I'm really dumb!!! The more I listen the more it becomes another favourite of your overall discography. 9/10 as it keeps growing every day
Crying&Laughter- I think I gaslit myself into thinking I didnt like this song because when I first heard it I was like...well its definitely not a skip, but its ranks low in my overall favourite son- shut up leaf you are, as previously discovered, dumb! 8/10 honestly, its another grower with time. The lalalalalalalala gets me.
Escape- *inhales deeply* b r o. When I tell you I felt like I was floating on a CLOUD listening to this. I have this weird thing where certain songs that hit specific notes or chord progressions give me literal chills and I feel the song with my whole body. Good example would be F(x)- Butterfly. Like its so overwhelming to listen to in the best way. An actual out of body experience insanity level. 100000000/10 and a cloud emoji ☁️
And thats my review thank you for coming to my TED talk, stream Escape.
Next subject !!!
So. Two things actually. I was just speaking to Sarah who you spoke to...yesterday? I believe? Idk if you know her specifically with the cherry emoji, but that's how I remember her (as we both know, you've met and know a few Sarah's now). Anyways, she is just...God shes the sweetest I swear. I don't think I told you, but she had a dupe of your pob and I dmed her like DUDE HOW and she was like IDK...DO YOU WANT HIM? do I look- yes???? Yes I do???? Thank you???? So she sent me not only your pob, but your pink jacket postcard, AND 3 OTHER PHOTOCARDS??? FOR FREE??? I cried honestly shes so generous and I love talking to her. She was playing the darlingie game the other day and sent me her results. So cute T^T
AND NOW FOR THE EXCITING LIFE UPDATE !!!
So...as I told you before, I enjoy...✨a certain genre of series in Thailand✨. Well, at first it just started off being a fan of the dramas, following all the actors (I have been noticed by one of them 4 times now!! first chalongrat, he's my all time fav bl actor), and really sinking into watching as many as I can (ill leave a list of recs) but i was getting so frustrated with blinking and missing half the dialogue or a plot point, so i was like...what if I just...learned thai? And yeah...thats my current venture.
I'm a week in, and I've memorised all 44 consonants and 28 vowels, and I'm starting to be able to read!!! Which for a week in with a completely different language, sounds, tones, and alphabet, I've actually impressed myself a little. I've only ever learned Spanish (semi fluent but forgot everything after school), Japanese (could read hiragana but not katakana), Korean (can read, write, speak a little, and understand at a basic level), and my girlfriend TRIED to teach me mandarin but...to no success. ill get there.
I've been getting a lot of encouragement from Joy, Mae, and my actual hero and lowkey teacher at this point- jaan. Which are so lovely and are helping me push through and really knuckle down with my studying. Atm I'm doing a minimum of 4/5 hours of studying, so I'm already moving along really quickly! Jaan has been so helpful in letting me bug her whenever I need guidance or want to ask something about the language, and shes been so kind in breaking things down and explaining to me how things work. I'm so grateful to have met such wonderful people through being your fan, and indirectly your motivation (I mean in general, your motivational mindset) has helped me not give up. So thank you for letting me meet such cool people T^T once again you're so lucky to have them as your fans.
I have to go and make lunch now before I forget, its almost 1pm. Please cheer me on in my thai learning journey !!! Ill update you frequently on how its going (I'm also posting updates to my close friends, in case you're wondering what I use that for when I don't tag you in something) ^-^

P.s. drama recs (all BL, all not suitable for young eyes. So if anyone reading this is younger, please don't look these up!!!) (Also yes I did search to see if anyone had mentioned BL here and they have so dont come for me!!!!)
🏀 Dont Say No- my favourite pairing JaFirst and my favourite drama besides LITA T^T its a little heavy in parts, tw for not so great parenting and slipping things into drinks that should not be there, but the message of being ready at your own pace and consent is so refreshing for an industry that...well...don't usually go down that path*. It follows on from Tharntype 2 and the story of basketball captain and vice presidents Leo and Fiat.
(*See: Love In The Air's Prapai who buys 8 SIM cards and various phones when Sky blocks his number)
💼 The Middleman's Love- very over the top, chaotic, and cutesy. Its about an office worker who falls for his intern...don't think too hard on that one. Anyways its very cute and Jade is kinda tism coded which is probably why I enjoyed it so much. Just...for anyone (over 18) curious about it, prepare for episode 8. It goes from 0-100 real quick.
🍸 KinnPorsche- violent, mature, kinda graphic, but omg I LOVED it. It has one of my favourite actor/youtubers, Perth Nakhun in it, so I really enjoyed it. Mafia theme, lots of plot twists, tissues at the ready in the later episodes. Also has one of the best OST's once again supplied by THE jeff satur...a legend. Everyone say thank you Jeff. its about a bartender that runs into Mafia leader who wants him as his bodyguard. dark comedy masterpiece, 10/10
okay thats all !!! until next time >:3 pce out ✌🏻
