2020 CREATOR WRAP + A FOLLOW FOREVER

Well friends, I think its really important to spread love and share gratitude so that’s what I’m doing today. I’ve already done the one where you talk about your favourite original posts but I wanted to talk about some incredible creators that I adore. Some of these people I am blessed to call friends and others I look up to or their work makes me smile whenever it shows up on my dash. Anyway, here goes...

@sarawatism Nen... I cannot thank you enough for being my friend. Even though we don’t get to talk as much as we used to, I appreciate you to the end of the world and back. You have helped me craft the world of ‘Nuisance and the Handsome’ Prince and your writing is so soulful and when I grow up, I just want to be more like you (Yes - I know we’re the same age). Thank you for helping me to fall back in love with writing and encouraging me to continue on with that monster of a story.

@partlyalive Camille. My soul sister. I know you’re not actually on here a ton so I hope you see this but thank you for all the support. You are one of the loveliest human being I have ever had the honour of getting to know and I am so lucky to get to call you a friend. Love you!

The @giftedgays​. Oh boy. Friends. Thank you for being there for me. I know I’m a lot sometimes but I appreciate you all so much. When the Gifted Graduation was airing, it felt like every Sunday was Christmas morning. 

@wjmild Kylie. You are such an intelligent and loving human being. I love hearing about your research or even just when you rant about anything in particular (mostly Lee and Arm). I love our weekly MarkKit watchthroughs with Violet. Way too much fun. Your gifs are gorgeous and so are you. If I didn’t have Dave and you didn’t have Violet, you know how things would go.

@tawanv Violet. Plant Queen. Dancer Extraordinaire. Fellow musical theatre enthusiast. I am so glad that we’ve been able to connect over the last little bit because we have so much in common! Our ‘Last five years’ watch was so much fun and I just love how much of a kind human being you are. You are beautiful both inside and out and I am happy to flirt with you until it upsets Kylie too much. Haha.

@petekaos Rahul. You are such a wordsmith. I am so thankful that we have been able to become friends as I look up to you so much. You seem to feel so deeply and you are just so kind and supportive to everyone. Thanks for being my friend. 

@pangwave Dawn. You are so sweet and I love how strong and opinionated you are. I remember back in the day I would always look forward to you and Alexa’s thoughts about pangwave. You are a lovely human being and you deserve to be happy.

@doctorbahnjit Alexxxxa. The way you write is so natural. You have such a way with words. Your pang wave fics were the first ones I ever read and it totally sold me on the ship. You are so bubbly and full of life and it always remind me to stay positive and laugh at life, even when it feels hard.

@tanwirapong Roa. Roa. Roa. You are probably one of the most supportive and lovely human beings I’ve ever met. You lift people up and are such a good listener. Your gifs are beautiful and the colouring is just *chefs kiss*.

@class2clown Angel. You are such a sweetheart and you are so beyond talented. Whether its your gifs, your writing or you drawing. How can one person be so talented? Thanks again for your amazing fic from the gift exchange. I will treasure it forever.

@soulmatelines Jo. You are such a darling. Your gifs are beautiful and similar to Roa, you are just such a beacon of positivity and support. I really appreciate your presence in the group and good luck with your college applications!

@gunatps Veeee! How I miss you. I remember the first time you messaged me about Pangwave and the Gifted theories. It was so much fun and you were the first person I really got to ramble about the Gifted with. You are such a fun and lovely human and I am so glad I’ve been able to get to know you.

 @lee-thanat​ (Ke), @pvrrish (Eleni) and @vihokratanas (Mel), you are all lovely human beings as well and I would love to get to know even better! Thanks for making the Groupchat such a fun place to be!

Some more non GC friends:

@teh-ohaew Tay!! I am so glad that we’re able to pick up wherever we’ve left off, no matter how long it has been since we last talked. Thanks for ranting with me about shows and pairings. You are so lovely and I adore any time that we get to connect.

@gremlinmetawin Ayessshha! I remember back in the 2gether days when you sent the analysis and I was just like... this girl gets it. Thanks for always being lovely and even though we don’t get to talk all that often, I will always adore you from afar.

@lesbian-earn Mayyy! Your writing is beautiful and I am so glad that we’ve been able to connect. We always seem to be on the same page about theories and it’s so nice to have someone who just has a similar brain. Any time a new episode of something comes out, I love looking at your page to see your thoughts!

@kindaanartblog My favourite clown. I am still so in awe of your talent and I am always here for you to gush to or complain to or whatever! I still can’t believe you really took my Bright/Sarawat vampire prompt and made such a masterpiece. 

Taking a page out of Kylie’s book, here is a list of people that fill up my dash with loveliness. I am horrible at communication and maintaining relationships so whether I have messaged you, liked your posts or just love to see you show up on the timeline, know that you make me smile.

@gigiesarocha , @emisfritish, @khaotungthanawat, @piningbisexuals, @sarawatlisme, @brightwin, @obsiditae, @vertigox, @doodledot05, @coldties, @gunsatthaphan, @mybabybright @morksuns, @floralbfs, @toptaps, @gawincaskeyy, @onstoryladders @phukao, @earthfluuke, @asianmelodrama 

If I have not mentioned you here, I apologize in advance. I have tried to spend less time on Tumblr for my mental health so I am sorry if I forgot to mention. I hope everyone has an amazing winter break or festive season or end to 2020! 

I am so lucky to have a small corner of this community to help me through one of the hardest years. You are all so incredible and I love you all. Thanks again. 

Spoilers For IPYTM EP 3 Ahead!

Hi! I’m back from the first thirty minutes with many..mixed? thoughts, I guess you could call it? Let’s just get in to it, because there’s a lot here.

Firstly, I wanted to address more all the hate that came out with this episode. I haven’t got to the part everyone hated yet, but I can see the build up, and have heard people talking about it all day, yelling in the tags behind gifs, and posting angry faced emojis under Nadao’s Instagram posts for the series. I’ve watched a few series’ while they were still coming out, My Engineer, Still 2gether, Color Rush, etc, but I’ve never seen this much hate circulate so fast. People were so upset about the episode before the subs even came out everyone was condemning the director and saying IPYTM as well as it’s predecessor ITSAY was ruined now because of it. I’m not gonna say anyone’s opinion is wrong, especially considering all the negative stuff I’m about to say about the series/the episode, but I wanted to mention this because, whether I meant for it to or not, seeing all of it definitely affected my opinion. Now, for the review. There’s too much here, is the simplest way to describe it. There’s too much here they’re trying to accomplish, trying to establish, trying to break then make over again. I always said since the first review that this format they were going for was going to be hard to work with, but I stuck by it with hope after the first episode, because I thought so long as stuff worked in a compilation like style, even if the story wasn’t the most well developed, we at least were getting what we came for, Teh and Oh-aew’s life and relationship after ITSAY in college. But, this episode, especially compared to the others, is moving much, much slower than that, already breaking the mold, thus making it harder to work with, again. The episode, like every other one, starts with a time skip. I believe this one is 8 months, just like the one at the end of the last episode, but I can’t entirely remember.  I at least want to give the series props for sticking by the problems it brought up last episode in Oh-aew and Teh’s relationship, specifically Teh’s view of the relationship in light of Oh-aew developing as a person away from things like acting and doing spur of the moment things like getting a tattoo. We’re made immediately aware that things have not gotten any better since last episode, and instead have gotten worse. Not just problem wise, but also communication wise between the two. They each have issues in their relationship that instead of relaying with one another they tell their friends in hopes of mending things.  The tone jumps around so much this episode, you could sue it for giving you whiplash. Like, I understand why it is all there, but even just the framing between scenes with Teh, scenes with Oh-aew, scenes with Teh and Oh-aew, you feel it immediately each time in a way that is almost awkward, because you jump from homely stuff with Oh-aew and his friends with the backdrop of his insecurities around Teh, to Teh making the most somber expressions ever while he attempts to remember what love feels and looks like while acting. The immediate thought I had when Teh was writing in his journal was how nonchalant he mentions that he loves Oh-aew. Like, of course, something like that is supposed to be a given by now, but it hits me more as a cope than as the truth. He thinks it, writes it down without giving meaning to it, rather saying like he’s convincing himself of it, or comforting himself with the idea of things not being all bad before he adds a ‘but’ and talks about how things have changed. Compared to last episode where Teh’s fear of change causes him to blow up, here, he’s curled in on himself, hiding it from Oh-aew, while he repeats it in his mind over and over, like he’s trying to tell himself to get used to it, but he can’t. He’s obsessing over it so much he can hardly look back on things with Oh-aew because he can’t help but think ‘things aren’t like that anymore’. There’s lots of fear here, not just in the change that has already happened, but also all that he worries will come, like his feelings for Oh-aew changing any more in a way he can’t shrug off. Oh-aew is trying his best to hold things together on his end to, inserting himself wherever he can into Teh’s life to make it easier for him to find space for them in the wake of their passions being different now, and he’s stuck between thinking he shouldn’t push it and that things should be better than they are. I don’t think Teh actually likes Jai, just like everyone else doesn’t. He’s looking at Jai as a comfort, as a constant. It’s hard to think about it properly because of how the time moves so fast, but he’s known Jai for over a year now and Jai has consistently been there guiding him along the way of acting when Khim left and so did Oh-aew. He’s clinging to Jai as a constant unchanging thing, not a person. He’s looking for all he’s lost in Oh-aew, and in Khim to be in him. Now, all this is fine and dandy, on the surface, since it makes sense for the characters and is technically built to, but it’s all so shortly done and everything is going from 11 to 111 so fast you can’t wrap your head around anything concretely. All of it is there, but it is sublte, and again, not properly maintained because of the route the series is taking with time. I said this in the beginning too, that no problems would be able to last for long because of all this, but they’re still trying it and it’s not working very well because everything is fine, then it’s bad, then it’s a little okay, then it’s horrible, all the while the series jumps around over and over. It’s just a mess, really. Gonna be honest though, from the trailers I always thought Oh-aew would have relationship troubles more harshly than Teh, but, here we are! Gonna go finish up the episode now, hopefully it’s not as bad as people say.

Thoughts on 2gether ep12

I knew last episode was a false sense of security and now there’s

(I love this gif so much, it works for all kinds of things that cause pain)

but seriously though, I am here for the drama like I loved how soft and fluffy it was so far but now gimme a little bit of angst for the climax please and thank you; but dont forget that happy ending ok? OK?????

I said last week and I’ll say it again, I really do love that Tine and Wat’s problems are coming from their own character flaws and issues and like yes, there’s Pam but she’s not... really the core of it you know? Like obviously the real problems here are Tine’s insecurities and overhinking and Sarawat’s not being very forthcoming with things he thinks will embarrass him in front of Tine which is kind of fascinating to me cause we saw the same thing last ep when Wat didnt want to admit the clip was for Tine at first because he was embarrassed/shy and now with the song I’m guessing it’s the same thing and/or it’s not ready yet and Wat doesnt want to tell Tine until he’s got it perfected

but it’s the combination of those two flaws of their that’s driving the drama right now - Pam being just the catalyst - and it’s all going to backfire spectacularly on Wat next episode

.... and I am here for it, this is character drama I can get behind

speaking of Pam, I wonder if that’s not another misunderstanding there when she said I love you? as in I love you romantically or I love you as a dear friend? And she also says she wants to go back to how things were before but before she wasnt dating Wat, they were just closer as friends than they are now

I hope that’s what they’re going for like she misses having Wat as a friend and wants to get their friendship back and not that she’s in love with him

I think it would work better thematically with Tine being insecure and seeing things through that lense rather than what they are in reality

but omg, my man Mil really pull through! I’m so happy he’s finally moving on from his feelings for Tine and by giving back the bracelet he’s basically telling Wat to not waste the chance he has to be with Tine now by not being careful

I read a comment after last episode that I really really liked saying that Mil doesnt really seem interested in Tine anymore but what he was doing in ep11 was mostly just to get on Wat’s nerves and trying to be friends with Tine at the very least (trying to explain himself about the attack because he didnt want Tine to be scared of him/to think he was that kind of a person) and I think this scene absolutely proves that and I love it

also the fact that he remembered that today was Phukong’s exam and sent him an encouraging message 💖💖💖

I love how Tine and Wat are walking with their hands around each other

and now we’re taking a shower together O_o

I’m not complaining

you know, I’m not getting any deeper into the kissing/sex debate because like I said last week, yes I agree that it makes sense for them to be touching more as in the show has set it up that they want to do it but this episode absolutely semented for me that the implications are there that they do do it off screen but we’re not gonna see that and usually I would be upset about it because 1) I am horny bird with a dirty dirty brain, 2) I loooooooove touchy-feely couples in general and 3) it makes sense for your couple to be physically intimate from a pure writing POV unless you’ve set up some reason for them not to be which is clearly not the case here

but... I dont know, with these two it just doesnt bother me as much as it normally would; I dont know why, maybe it’s that I adore how well developed their emotional intimacy is (and like you cant find THAT in most couples in TV either so that’s already a big plus) and that they’re clearly comfortable touching/being near each other/getting in each other’s space like a couple WOULD do, it’s the heavier stuff that is left off screen and that’s a writing choice they apparently decided to go with and well, it is what it is

the only complaint I have is that they really should have had a few more kisses, like not on FTTT’s level of making out like your life depends on it but at least little pecks here and there, I think that would have been perfect

ANYWAY, so those are my finale thoughts on that matter, MOVING ON phew

Tine’s so gone he’s smiling at a picture of Wat while being in the same room as him which is frankly #mood

Tine’s just like I do not vibe with this so I’m removing myself from the situation the moment Pam opened her mouth and he just TURNED THE FUCK AROUND AND WALKED AWAY

I thought Sarawat was the one to look out for when it comes to jealousy but Mr I’m gonna punish you all night long here is actually the real deal

Type and Man are EXACTLY that cat/dog meme and I’m living for it, this entire scene is just so funny and Type’s little “open it” at the end is just 🤣

I like how they’re building up Tine’s insecurities over Pam little by little by having Tine find similarities between them and then with the talk about first loves and letting us see how he comes to the conclusions he does so it makes sense how it all happens

holy shit I did not expect Man/Type to break my heart too but HERE WE ARE

that dinner scene was so hard to get through especially because what Man is going through realising he’s got nothing much to offer Type at the moment, financially speaking and that he’s still a first year and he’s got  a lot of things left to do for his own future and life and just... that hits hard

unpopular opinion but I actually like that Type left with the asshole boss because 1) that’s gonna make him realise that he does miss Man when he stops coming to him next ep and 2) like from Type’s POV it makes sense? he barely knows this kid that’s been chasing him non-spot and annoying him and yeah, sure he’s helpful and seems genuine in his feelings and Type clearly is starting to melt a little but but he also wants to not lose his job and offend his boss (he might be a total jackass but he’s still Type’s boss) so he’s got no choice but to prevent the situation from escalating

also I like to think that maybe part of why he decided to leave  was cause he was trying to protect Man by not letting him get in a fight with the guy

also did I say how much I am here for the drama next week when Man really does stop looking for him and Type realises oh shit I did NOT want that and yells at Man for disappearing on him after making him feel these things

which is basically like how Tine decided to go about confessing his feelings  not like a normal Braincell-filled person but accusing Wat of not taking responsibility for making Tine fantasize about kissing him and OMG these two really are brothers, arent they?

I really was hoping Wat would say Tine was his first love but THEN he proceeded to snatch my wig with saying that what he felt for Pam was nothing like what he felt for Tine that day at the concert and being so ridiculously OFFENDED when Tine said he and Pam were alike he was like wHAt?? you are like her??? PLEASE YOU ARE THE WEIRDEST PERSON I’VE EVER MET AND I LOVE YOU PLS NEVER LEAVE ME

AND THEN TINE BREAKS DOWN COMPLETELY AT THE END THINKING HE’S LOST WAT LIKE FULL ON SOBBING AND HITTING THE WALL AND SHAKING HIS HEAD IN DENIAL AND I AM NOT OK

WHO LET ME WATCH THAT

I NEED A HUG

TINE NEEDS A HUG

anyway, I am fine

next episode looks like it’s gonna be choked full of some of my favourite tropes and honestly I canNOT wait

but dont forget that happy ending though OK??????

Hello Good evening to all here’s another blog but this time it’s part of my school requirements for the subject “Understanding the Self”. This new post of mine will tackle all about on how to cope with stress, anxiety and depression and what are the causes that will lead to it. 

Disclaimer: All the GIFs and photos will be credited to the respective owners in the last part of the blog and all the GIFs are examples in application of what happened in reality -no pun and shade included- 

As we all know, ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine) is already extended until May 15,2020 in selected places such as the whole city of Bulacan, NCR and CALABARZON region. As advice to us by the President we should remain to stay home for us the COVID will not spread that quickly. Staying at home for a long time has a big impact for all of us Filipinos. Sometimes, we feel isolated, stress and encountering anxiety because of the online activities that they give to us and sometimes having problems with the family. This is one

Let’s go to the Main topic. 

Stress, Anxiety, Depression these three usually happens to us humans for the past couple of years already in our generation many people died because of this mental disease. What is stress, anxiety and depression?

Stress is the starting stage when there is something that will pressure us. For example, people usually starts having stress with a lot of school requirements to do in order to pass it early. When everyday if we always got stress with the requirements that’s were anxiety comes because people may worry that cannot pass it on time or they will not execute it very well.

Anxiety is the next stage were people started to think negative to ourselves. We usually think of negativity that comes to our mind. 

Depression is the critical stage were both anxiety and stress combine into one. Depression mostly happens if there’s a big problem on body of a human physically, psychologically, and mentally. Which it needs a lot of medication in order for a person to have a stable mental health but it may depend on the situation of the person. In this GIF from priceofwarmclothes, actually this is from the series called “until we meet again” which you can watch it from Studio Wabi Sabi channel. This GIF is an example if a person suddenly started to cry if something usually triggers him on his mind. 

What are the medications for stress, anxiety and depression? For me it really depends on the situation of the person. Because not all these mental disorders will be need of medicine. Medicine is only needed when it becomes crucial and worst. Simply, you will just need a medical check-up from the psychologist, psychiatrist or even a guidance councilor before taking medicine that is prescribed from professionals. Sometimes, the medication of these three is love, care and support from family, friends, relatives and professionals because it talks about the behavior of a person and not all of these disorder will be needing medicines for them to be better. Here is another example of medicine that will help someone physically and mentally:

First GIF below This is the Tay Tawan on the left side and New Thitipoom on the right. 

For me, this shows on how clingy new is, because he wants to protect his best friend and he wants to make sure that everything will be ok for him. 

Second GIF below:

This 2 young actors Bright Vachirawit(Sarawat) the guy who hears white shirt and Win Metawin(Tine) wears the black shirt from 2Gether the series is another best example for me. Hugging can be a huge impact to someone. Hugging is something we usually feel in real life in order to feel that we show our presence and love from our family and friends. Comfort someone with stress, anxiety and depression can be considered as a medicine.

My Opinion and experience:

In my experience way back senior high school, i’ve been struggling for my 2 years due to the toxic environment that i went through. Second, ever since i already have an issue with the family, i know that there is no such thing as a perfect or better family but there is such thing as a toxic family. My family is being toxic for almost 4 or 5 years and yet i choose to be strong in life because i know to myself that i still have hopes and dreams that i need to achieve in order to be success in life. I have no plans yet for the next chapter of my life after college i want to have a simple life just living alone, i don’t want to get involved with my family because i don’t deserve this kind of family and i will work hard and be more independent in life. My simple medication is just i always believe that my friends and my super friend God is always there for me. This experience reminds me of a song called Speechless by Naomi Scott, the lyrics said “All I know is I won't go speechless 'Cause I'll breathe When they try to suffocate me Don't you underestimate me 'Cause I know that I won't go speechless”. This really hits me hard and i always tell me to myself no to give up until i reach my goals in life.

This is the last part of my blog for now! I would like to thank my Professor for giving a consideration to do a blog instead of vlog. First and foremost, my internet connection couldn’t handle uploading a 10 min vlog of mine which it consist of 4.5GB due to the quality of the camera i use and the editing it was too much and i took 5-7 hours to upload it. On behalf on the other students of 1E3, We really miss you so much Ma’am Claudia Mendoza for the short term memories when it comes to face to face classes and i didn’t expect that i will learn a lot through my experiences and opinion and of course coming to my professor. I really wish this pandemic will end as early as possible so we can continue with the discussions face to face and make this semester memorable! Giving also a credits to the respective owners of the GIF they make especially @/Inkorns for the GIF for the intro since it was not included below.
