Bridgerton’s here!!!
OMG!! Nasa episode 3 pa lang ako, pero I got hooked na agad. Some scenes are exactly as I imagined they would be when I read the book dati. And Yerin Ha is just sooo adorable as Sophie. Good thing late February lalabas yung part 2, kasi wala kaming classes nun and mapapanood ko siya nang guilt-free lmaooo <(￣︶￣)>
Helloooo! I was busy nung first week ng January. I made some... plans for the following months and for the new semester. Parang ang dami ng goals na isinulat ko, ewan ko ba. Parang kulang ang 24 hours sa isang araw para magawa ko lahat ng gusto kong gawin (๑°⌓°๑)
Spotify Wrapped is here!!! ♡ What are your top songs and albums? Mine are mostly from Cigs Aft Sex and Taylor... as expected hahaha (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)

PROJECT BLUE ANNOUNCEMENT
The editing phase has just begun. AHHHHHHHHHH!
Read my announcement here: wattpad.com/story/371986325-project-blue
NEW BOOK ALERT!
Holy sh*t. I just finished outlining Project Red, the third installment of the Nueva Vida Series. Same with the previous installment, Project Red is just a placeholder title; it will be replaced once I get into the later drafts. So far, this is the longest it has taken me to outline a story. Maybe because I amped up a particular element (which is a secret, kind of) on this one. Anyways, I am really, really excited to get started with this.
Below is the premise of the story:
Rojan Gamalinda, heir to one of Nueva Vida’s most powerful families, hires Cielo de Luna, a young artist struggling to make ends meet, to paint a family portrait. As they get closer, scars are revealed and family secrets are unearthed.
I hope you’ll like this one. Feel free to add it to your library!

I was listening to Kelsey Ballerini’s Love Me Like You Mean It last night, and a wave of nostalgia engulfed me.

The Life of a Showgirl is underwhelming. I expected it to be “banger after banger,” as the marketing implied. But it isn’t TT
Blondie is talk-singing and using internet slang. Not to mention, none of these songs fit the whole showgirl aesthetic the album visuals are trying to go for. The melodies sound similar all throughout every track. Drums are flat af... I mean after putting out a lotta music for the past years, Taylor’s well of ideas is bound to run dry. Maybe, if Tay takes a break for 2 or 3 years, she might rediscover a new sound.
Time to listen to the folkmore sisters again. Or maybe Reputation. Gotta cleanse my ears.
@Alice_Salvo Hey, it’s okay, you also made some valid points. I hope you don't get me wrong. I'm not attacking you or anything hahaha but this is a nice conversation. I agree about the talk-singing on this album, that’s actually the reason why I don’t like a few of the songs either. What I don’t agree with, though, is the criticism of her lyricism. So many artists with far less skill get a free pass, but Taylor is always put on this pedestal where she’s expected to beat society’s impossible standard. She’s constantly held to a bar that’s miles higher than everyone else’s, and most of her skeptics don’t even give her music a fair chance to begin with. And about this whole Charli XCX discourse, Taylor literally just said, “you’re obsessed with me and I love it,” and suddenly people are having meltdowns, calling her evil and everything else. Like, really? The way the lyric “Coke” led people to instantly assume it was about Charli absolutely kills me. Well, if the shoe fits. At the end of the day, Taylor’s a musician. She can write whatever she wants, including diss tracks. Spoiler alert: she can, and she will. As for the whole album variants thing, let’s be real. Plenty of artists have released way more variants than Taylor. Billie Eilish, The Rolling Stones, Travis Scott… the list goes on. And that’s completely fine. Music is business at the same time that it is art. These past few years have been a career peak for her, so why wouldn’t she capitalize on it? Strike while the iron’s hot, right? It’s not like she’s putting a gun to anyone’s head to buy the records. Yes, it’s a cash grab, but so is the entire music industry.
@clapyourhanz No. I’m saying Joe has “influenced” the lyricism in those albums. He’s not the sole reason for folkmore’s success. Taylor, Aaron, Jack, plus other people worked on it, too. Apologies if it came out misogynistic. That was not my intention.
@Alice_Salvo Also, you saying Joe Alwyn is the reason for the Folkmore's lyrical success is a little misogynistic, don't you think? In this day and age, are we really gonna credit a man for a woman's success?

Pls pagbigyan n’yo na ako LMAO
Sino pa rito ang fan ng Cigarettes After Sex? I wanna send you a virtual hug. My obsession with their songs is neck-deep. I can’t stop playing “Heavenly” on repeat. I also love Silver Sable, Baby Blue Movie, Apocalypse, Keep On Loving You—lahat na ng kanta nila. Pwede ba ’yon? Huehue ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
@Alice_Salvo Androgynous voice kasi siya like Nina Simone's and Air's, even my hubby was shocked noong nalaman niyang lalaki wahaha. We didn't really listen to the lyrics kasi noon, just the music. Tapos ginamit sila sa soundtrack ng Killing Eve which featured two queers kaya lalo kaming na-confuse. :D
@liadeflores Hahahahahaha never ko naman naisip na babae siya. Although may pagka-feminine ’yung voice... pero may lyrics kasi na “in your red lingerie” sa Sweet. Kaya never ko naisip na babae siya XD
@Alice_Salvo alam mo, noong first time kong narinig ang CAS, for a few days, akala ko babae ang kumakanta. :D He’s so talented.
