Take 1

 JUST ONE TAKE. I knew from day one when I saw its poster that I will like Take One (Korean: ν…Œμ΄ν¬μ›), a South Korean music docuseries reality show produced by Netflix starring Sumi Jo, Lena Park, Mamamoo, Jung Jihoon (Rain), AKMU, You HeeYul and Yim Jaebeom. Ang hindi ko inexpect ay yung maiinlove ako sa kanila and with their stories and songs. 

First of all, si Rain lang ang kilala ko and sabi ko sya ang aabangan ko. Akala ko it was a competition na all 7 will fight it out for the title. Hindi pala.

Each episode features an artist, and yun nga: If you are to sing one last song of yours before you die, what would it be? So lahat na ng gusto nilang gawin in performing that song, it will be care of Netflix. Venue, stage, band, director, lahat lahat na. Pero ang condition, no cuts, no repeats, no do-overs. Pag palpak, palpak.

When I found out na ganun pala format (akala ko sabay-sabay silang lalabas na tuloy-tuloy lang ang kwento) at pang4th episode pa si Rain (whom I last watched in Ghost Doctor, still so fit and hot πŸ”₯at his age), sabi ko skip ko ba yung iba? Pero hindi. Sobrang ganda. Episode 1, ok. Episode 2, omg ang galing. By Episode 3, tindi na ng effect. Featuring #YimJaebeom who was in hiatus for 6 years, following the death of his wife, and then his father, it actually was the simplest performance among them. Pero grabe yung tama. Remember hindi ako familiar sa kanila, kaya hindi ko mawari bakit ganun na lang ang impact sa akin. 

Ang galing ng Netflix KR, galing ng producers. Napaiyak ako hanggang Episode 4, Episode 5, Episode 6. Ang pogi pa ni #YouHeeYul 😍 Tinigil ko muna kasi ayokong matapos agad. Napakaganda, napakagaling. And siguro nga, kapag may mga taong naniniwala sa talent mo, ibibigay mo talaga lahat - all in one take.

Catch Take One, 7 episodes lang but you will want more #talesofthegoodgirl

Yet To Come

MY TIME WILL COME. Seeing FB and IG posts and tweets of people having the time of their lives now in Seoul or Busan, even visiting #MAGNATE, Jimin's father's cafe, reminds me that this BTS #YetToComeinBUSAN concert is my TOTGA πŸ˜₯

Since I retired from employment last May, I have been planning to go to SK with my family this October. I wanted to visit during autumn as it is my favorite season. In fact, some docs were already prepared (including my bank cert showing xxx digits 😁). Unfortunately, there were a lot of considerations (timing, embassy issues, family schedules, among others) that I had to give up the dream for now 😭 It would have been another dream come true and doubly special if I were to visit the Land of Kdrama and Kpop and watch the boys live at the same time, even for just once in this lifetime. To reward and comfort myself after all those challenging, heartbreaking moments in the past. 

Sadness is eating me now though. Omg, it is sinking in, I tried not to mind it at all for quite a while πŸ˜₯ Anyways, I am still wishing everyone, BTS and Armys all over the world all the best. As early as now, #JiminDay2022 congratulations on this awesome concert on Oct 15! And cheers for the #WorldExpo2030BusanKorea! 곧 λ΅™κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€ god boebgessseubnida
