#Golden Rules

Finally, the long-awaited debut album of the #GoldenMaknae came home last Nov 10. Titled GOLDEN, the album is available in 3 versions: SHINE (green), SOLID (white) and SUBSTANCE (blue). Being the youngest, #JungKook is the last among the BangTan boys to debut as a solo artist.

As an ARMY, my days are painted in color purple and could only be categorized in 7. There’s an Indigo kind of day, and there’s a LayoVer one (and so on)…and today is Golden. And how it rules!

That’s the Golden effect on me – if V’s LayoVer seems like coming home, Golden makes you recall those days when you...

...Fell in love…

Something about you, do you feel the way I do?

There's magic in the room, tell me do you feel it too?

Something about you, do you feel the way I do?

There's magic in the room, tell me what we gonna do?

Are you feeling the rush?

If so, then I think I know what's going on

And are we falling in love?

Say yes or no, yes or no, yes or no…

…Cherished the excitement and joy brought about by that love…

You give me brand-new emotion

You got me drinkin' that potion)…

…Were full of hope

Even if your stars collide and you're light years away

I'll be the same, I'll be the same

Tell me if my stars collide and I'm light years away

Will you do the same?...

…Tried to make things work…

We tried again, said, "I wouldn't lie"

But I lied again

Mama told you, "Don't reply to him"

This ain't right, who's wrong again?

We been tired, restart again

Negative and the positive bringing us

…Fell out of love, accepted realities

Maybe hating you's the only way it doesn't hurt…

Got a shot glass full of tears

Drink, drink, drink, say, "cheers"…

...Let go, moved on, healed, forgave and became stronger (with some parental advice 😁)…

So I called up my pops last night

He said by the morning light

You won't need no romance

He told me, walk that walk alone

And talk that talk, you know

'Cause you don't need no one to dance…

...Were whole again. Learned to love again. This time, for real, and maybe forever.

Screaming, I testify that we'll survive the test of time

They can't deny our love

They can't divide us, we'll survive the test of time

I promise I'll be right here…

The vocals are dynamic and amazing. And the visuals, plus the MVs and choreography - definitely a bonus. You won’t mind playing the CD (and the MVs) over and over on a given Golden day…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there are influences of Justin Timberlake and of course, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. But that’s the path the Golden Maknae is taking anyway. 

Truly, #JeonJungKook is BTS’ global pop superstar. 24-K at that!

50 Shades of Grate(ful)

 

At 50

Behind you, all your memories.

Before you, all your dreams.

Around you, all those who love you.

Within you, all you need.

 

With all of life's trials and tribulations behind you,

enjoy all the dues you've paid,

relax, smell the flowers and appreciate the finer things in life.

 

And yes, just like that, I am 50. But with only one or two, perhaps a maximum of three grey strands of hair. No reason (and I don’t want) to dye or color my hair, which is naturally straight and black. Lucky me.

At 50, I may not have everything, my life is not perfect, but you don’t need everything, and you don’t have to be perfect to be happy. I used to think I deserve this or that, but I guess that’s being arrogant. I was taught a painful and heart-breaking lesson. Sometimes, even if you think you have become smarter, you still make silly mistakes. I am so humbled. I may not be in perfect health, but I’m doing alright. I am getting by. And I am so thankful for the many people who have reached out to me, supported me, opened themselves to me, shared their lives with me, and admired me for being honest and real, and for being an inspiration. I shall continue to be true to myself and share that side of me with you, if only to inspire people, and to make a difference or touch one’s life. I only have a few close and good friends, but I don’t need a lot, as I realized.

There's so much to thank for, so much to remember and be happy for. Thank You, Lord, for my family (buong barangay, Acuña Capiz Monterola Baguiao Gilson), my husband and two beautiful children, my household, and my friends and loved ones. Thank You for the good health, and for keeping us safe and together. Thank You for my job. Thank You, Lord for everything, for Your infinite blessings, for all the opportunities that came and will come my way. Some of my prayers remained unanswered, I know now why. You sent me something else, and gave me more, more than I deserved.

Thank you to the people who have been a part of my journey. I may have lost some, but I am a winner in more ways than one. I found some a little bit late but I will always take comfort in the belief that you meet the people you're supposed to, when the time is right.

Thank you for all the reasons why I am happy and grateful. For the gift of laughter, for my gift of gab, for my sense of humor, for my kakikayan. For my faith, hope and love. For the kindness and generous spirit instilled in me. For my doctors. For K-Drama. For BTS. For my LV bags. For my bucket hats. And all my favorite things. For Your love, my Lord. Happy Birthday to me! 

Thank you for coming into my life. I always believed in the goodness of things, and that there is something good in every thing that happens. Thank you for being the best thing. When I think of this, I thank God and I can only think of happiness, and gratitude. And my heart is full of joy.
