My 2022

This is a long overdue post.

I was showered with a lot of blessings for the year 2022. First off, was the purchase of the car. With the grace of the Lord and the financial assistance of my mom, I was able to accumulate funds and pay for it. I'm still paying for the cash loan until now (*22 months to go.. wooohoo!!!), but still, I am truly grateful to the Lord for allowing me and my family to experience this blessing. 

Another blessing was the completion of my academic subjects for the EDD and the favorable result of the comprehensive exam. I don't think I have the capacity to acquire the degree. So, I guess that's it for me.

Another one, good health for most of the year. There are still days that I struggle, but overall, it's all good.

Also, I am truly thankful to the Lord for sustaining me for yet another year of work in the basic education. 

Super Show 9 - Manila

This post is dedicated to my forever love Super Junior.

Super Show 9 - Manila was my second concert experience. The August 6, 2022 show was not considered a concert, since it was only a fan meet event. Fast forward to December 17, 2022. D-day. 

 

We had to go directly to the ticket counters to get our old tickets reprinted. The line was quite long but it was all worth it. My happiness and excitement overcame the fatigue I felt. It was really a joy seeing a lot of fans who support and love SuJu. While waiting for the opening of the venue, I bought unofficial merch to give to my friends. 

Before entering the venue, we decided to eat. I have to gain back the energy I lost to shout my heart out and sing along to the songs. 

I could not wait to watch and experience the ever famous Super Show. 

The venue was opened and fans were allowed to enter. Entering the MOA arena was really smooth. We didn't experience any hassle. I was going to have my meta passport scanned, but my internet and phone, didn't cooperate. hayss...

  

The second floor was filled with individual pictures of the members. I didn't miss the chance to line-up and have my picture taken with my favorite members. The longest lines were for Donghae and Siwon, they were the crowd favorites.

  

  

The concert started at exactly 5pm. It was surreal. I only watched videos of Super Show performances on Youtube before and who would've thought I'd get to experience it. This was a dream a come true. My forever love of 15 years, Super Junior, right in front of me. Performing their hit songs. The three-hour concert was never enough  to showcase all their songs. They have a long list of hit songs, group songs, unit songs, solo songs and the concert was just a glimpse of it all, but it was all enough for me. I have waited so long for the opportunity to experience the famous Super Show. I am the happiest ELF.

I saw my ultimate bias, Lee Donghae. The guy was beyond my imagination. He was way good looking in person. It showed how he loved to perform on stage for the fans. He gave his all in every performance. He had fun interacting with all the fans. Hays... Lee Donghae best boy. I love him. 

I love all the members and their dynamics. I really hope they continue to be active for the coming years to come. ELFs will always support SuJu no matter what. 

I wish to attend another Super Show. hihi. So, iponing na tayo. hahaha.

Special shout-out to the one na nabudol nako. Hannah. Thank you for coming. The experience won't be possible if you said no. I am truly grateful. 

Thank you Lord for the experience. :)

Trivia Nights 10.27.2022

 

Tonight was my first time to join this event. The theme was all about horror and everything spooky. It was really fun. We almost made it to top 3. It was only a point difference with the third rank. Bawi na lang next week. Also, we got a consolation prize for our pajama costume.

Don't Worry Darling (2022)

 

This movie was on my list. Obviously, because it starred the one and only Harry Styles. 

A little back story. Harry was not my bias when he was in One Direction. I only started becoming his fan when he released the album, Fine Line. That album was really good. Then followed another superb album, Harry's House. You would not skip a track in Harry's House.  He is a great singer. 

And a great actor, as well, when you get to watch his performance in this movie. I messaged my friend to watch this movie with me. She's that friend who loves these kinds of films. So, that I have someone to discuss with. 

Overall a 7/10 rating.  

I feel so empty these days. 

I know that there a lot of things I should be grateful for. My parents are constantly reminding me to be thankful for all the blessings I have received. They don't want me complaining about my work and all that's negative about it; telling me that the struggles are part of life.

Nowadays, I just take it one day at a time. I pray to the Lord every morning that He may let me survive that day. Start and finish the day without any problems. So far, so good. It's all a routine. That's what's wrong about it. I don't get excited about anything, anymore. I don't look forward to special days anymore. It's really frustrating. 

Also, I feel like I'm losing people. They are starting to feel detached one by one. I have to accept this, I know, but it is really hard. I have reached a certain point that I questioned myself - What's wrong with me?, Why am I losing these connections?. 

I am struggling, really. 

These thoughts are keeping me awake at night.
