Takaaki teaching Taka to dance is something that will lay heavy on my brain. Like...ughh, just Takaaki teaching him to waltz or even dance to salsa (which he's terrible at, but knows the steps and moves. Taka's mom would've definitely been better at teaching Taka, but...yeah.) He's not the best teacher, but Taka was able to learn just by following his father's steps. But they've definitely fucked up so much and started laughing their asses off.
Then Taka proceeds to teach Mondo later on in life. And Mondo definitely has two left feet, motherfucker can't dance for shit. But Taka is patient and tries his best to teach Mondo as his father taught him.
like…cmon. this is so angel. u gotta hear me out here. no one else could pull this off so flawlessly.

When I say I’m from Venezuela, sometimes people misunderstand me.
“Minnesota? Oh, cool! I hear it’s nice there this time of year.”
I fight the urge to roll my eyes, because
I wouldn’t want to meet the stereotype of being “feisty,”
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that, Sofia Vergara)
and I repeat.
Other times, they look at me through furrowed brows,
Unaware that there are countries that speak Spanish other than
Mexico and Spain.
They tell me to prove it, but how?
How do I prove wearing yellow underwear every New Year’s Eve,
For good luck?
Where are the records saying that
I am a certified quinceañera?
Who documents how often I eat
Arepas?
Where are the diary entries from the week that I spent,
Pent up in my room,
Afraid that la llorona would get me at night?
And even though they wouldn't know a thing,
About how it feels to have your identity constantly questioned,
I worry that they're right.
I can’t recite the Venezuelan anthem like my dad proudly does, before each fútbol game,
I can’t bake a quesillo like my mom does, for each birthday.
And if you asked me what “carcacha,” meant, I couldn’t tell you,
But I could sing that song by Selena if you needed me to.
After my parents are gone,
And all that is left of them is my Spanish and my drooping nose,
Who will carry their legacy?
Most days,
When it is dark and everyone else is asleep,
I ask my ceiling what language my children will speak,
And if they will be able to dance salsa,
Or if they will know what a torta de guayaba tastes like,
Or if they will ever be able to gaze up at the billowing yellow, blue, and red flag,
Complete with eight stars for the eight provinces,
(Barcelona, Barinas,
Caracas, Cumaná,
Guayana, Margarita
Mérida, and Trujillo)
and be able to say,
“That’s mine - es mi país.”
I wonder if they will see this all and grasp it -
Hold it in the palm of their hands,
Or if they will be just as lost as I am.

“Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away there was a Princess.
And no, we are not talking about a relevant, soon to be Queen with lots of responsibilities. We are talking about a “my-only-job-is-to-have-fun-be-happy-and-pretty” kind.
And of course there was a Prince. Wait. No. Was it a knight? No. Oh. Of course.
It was a Mandalorian. Well, not exactly. A soon to be Mandalorian.
They met exactly how Princesses and Mandalorians meet. At the market.
He was buying supplies for his people, they used to live underground, not like now, freely and fearless.
Some may say it was love at first sight. Since he wasn't wearing a helmet yet, they had the chance to look at each other’s eyes and smile. Of course, at that moment she didn’t know who he was but he knew who she was.
They saw each other a couple of times around the town, but one day everything changed
Her father, the king, decided to sell some ships that the Empire wasn't using anymore, one of them was a Razor Crest Assault Ship with a cost of 1500 Imperial Credits, and that man bought it in cash.
It was a piece of junk that needed repairs, and the Mandalorian spent his free time keeping an eye on it while it was being repaired in the mechanic shop. And the princess, just by chance, spent the exact same hours around the mechanic shop while he was there.
And that’s how it all started.
He had the most beautiful brown eyes and smile, he told her he was training to be a bounty hunter to help his family with the money and the supplies, “it’s a big family” he said, “Would you like to go fly around for a bit when the ship is done, Princess?” he also said.

The amount of times the Crest took to start up, with an uproarious sound during the take off and vibrating
“Please, don’t fail us now” she used to think, “I have to be at the palace before midnight”
And of course, some of her 5 siblings used to cover her, not without a laugh of course. The youngest princess dating a commoner, and one with a flying piece of junk. And it's ironic how the galaxy works. She wasn't born to be a Queen, and he definitely wasn't born to be a King, but who would imagine they would end up just like that?
But she was so happy, waiting for him on the fields almost every day in case he came back from a hunt.
But things weren’t always that nice, things got complicated when he…-”
Snores interrupted her.
-”Grogu?’- She asked. “Are you still awake?”.
He was lying on his small bed, being held by his Mother, deeply snoring, with his eyes closing and his little brown blanket on his fists. She looked at him and gave him a small kiss on the forehead.
-”Still with that story?”- Din asked, leaning on the door frame. He was out of his armor, without his helmet, like he is nowadays.
-”Is the only way he falls sleeps, he loves listening to it”
-”The story about how we met?”
- “ Exactly. And I didnt get to the most exciting part”
Collection Spotlight: Selena - Through the Years (2007)
2007's Through the Years is not your average Selena compilation. Not only does it contain more rare 80s songs that cannot be found on streaming, but it also has 2 previously unreleased songs. Feelings is Selena's first recording at about 7 years old and Puede Ser is a demo whose creation is described in Chris Perez's 2012 book, To Selena With Love. He was producing a song for another band at their home. Selena was at home cleaning the house and Chris just wasn't getting what he was looking for out of the guest musician. After the musician left, Selena mused that he must be so frustrated after that session and that she would like a crack at it. She immediately sang it how Chris imagined it should sound! The book doesn't mention exactly which song it is, but in other research over the years, I am quite convinced it was this one.
Some copies also come with a DVD, which I didn't expect when ordering online. Lucky me, it has all of my favorite performances that I look up on YouTube all the time!
No Me Queda Más, Si Una Vez are from the Noche de Carnival in Miami 1995.
No Debes Jugar, Baila Esta Cumbia from an episode of Furia Musical in 1993.
Amor Prohibido, Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, Como la Flor, Baila Esta Cumbia, La Carcacha from an episode of En Vivo in 1994.
La Llamada, Como la Flor from the Festival Acapulco in 1994.
Long story short, it is definitely worth the buy if you ever see it around for a decent price!
