8 Shows To Get To Know Me

Thank u for tagging me @jyuubin!!

Invader zim

I was a big nick/cartoon network kid & invader zim is just such a classic. I would watch the shit out of it, I’ve bought the whole series, the whole deal. When I was little I based my identity off of gir and when I was rewatching not too long ago I realized I still have so many lines memorized… it’s so silly and stupid and smart and gross I love it

My babysitter’s a vampire

Since this is a get to know me tag we’re like going through time with these series. This is another one I have lines memorized from! If I were to say which character I am it would be Rory and that is Important to know. A bunch of my friends love it too and we’ve rewatched it together it’s so fun whenever we do <3 another classic if u ask me

Merlin

If u asked me in like 2015-2017ish what my fav show is I probably would’ve said Merlin. And it stayed up there as a fav show for a WHILE. I’ve never been able to rewatch it bc of like. The Pain the finale caused me but I was obsessed with it when I did watch it. I had some huge multiship mindset going when I watched it and was shipping basically everyone together which I don’t think I’ve done for any other show… I watched tf out of the bts for it too. Like I was kinda in deep…

Skam/druck/skam austin

Is it cheating if I put a show and my two fav remakes LMAO… I’m a big skam girlie. We should all know this. I made this acc when druck was airing as a skam + remakes blog. I had a skam austin username for the longest time (rip gracefulnosplinters). The og is such a classic and gave me some of my fav pan rep (so did druck)! I was so so so obsessed and in my heart I still am. I’ll defend skam austin to the ends of the earth. I met some of the druck cast members (heyyy Lukas). I lived and breathed those clip drops in real time like they were AIR. I completed the Norwegian duolingo course and my streak is still going. But really which skam viewer has ever been not entirely invested in the series. I’ll stop now cuz I could talk Forever about it all…

The untamed

Oh god. If you knew me when I first watched cql I’m genuinely so sorry… I would NOT shut up. It was every other word out of my mouth. I related every goddamn thing I saw to the show. It consumed me for MONTHS. As in I literally couldn’t watch anything else until a few months later after binging all sorts of bts, adaptations, and reading parts of the novel (funny thing is I still haven’t seen all adaptations/everything lmao). I always say it’s a good thing I couldn’t legally drive people when I was in this phase cuz I ONLY listened to/played the fucking character osts in the car for months like I knowww my mom was sick of it (she’s the only one who had to deal with me in the car lmfao). It was also the first time I ever actually made a sideblog for anything. I found the show at a very fitting time in my life too. Probably one of the hardest times ever but some of the themes in the series stuck with me in ways that felt so personal. A lot of love here

Kinnporsche

Another one I was super invested in at the time. Would not shut tf up about vegaspete. Very annoying about. Rewatched tf out of it. You know the drill. The few months I spent watching it was so eventful

HIStory2: crossing the line

Okay I think I’m really just in a HIStory mood lately but this fucking show. THESE TWO. YU HAO AND ZI XUAN. WHAT THE FUCK. The best way I can explain this is in a way no one else can understand: it appeals to a younger part of me in a very specific way. Like it’s scary. The chemistry is insane like going back to it after about a year still made me feel the exact same crazy way. One of the greatest losses caused by covid was the sequel that got cancelled 💔

Bad buddy

We all saw this coming. Gotta end with a bang. My favorite ql of all time. Insane to experience live and such a perfectly crafted show (thx p’aof). Layers upon layers of depth to write about (which like tbh every bad buddy fan basically has, me included). Just so much to love. Speaking of love: milklove origins too!!! We get it all from one silly little series. I remember exactly where I was so vividly when I experienced so many iconic scenes. It’s legendary!

I’m gonna tag @dumpsterslugz (I can tag you in things like this now >:D) @pondphuwin @heart-ming @markpakin & anyone else who wants 2 do this !!

#sorry this took a bit to do I was at school fjhsjf #tysm for tagging me again!!! #also one show almost made the cut and I went back and forth deleting and adding it but eventually just… No #tag game #b.txt

Panama Canal adventure and sentimental Manila memories ❤️

In late February I had my first work trip back to Manila since we moved in 2018. On the way, the most reasonable long haul flight included an 8 hour layover in Panama. So rather than sit in the airport all day…I booked a Panama Canal tour!

It’s absolutely fascinating! An incredibly tight fit for these giant ships…sometimes as tight as 12in/30cm on each side! So the ships are tethered to rail cars on each side that guide them safely through the canal.

The cruise ship was so much fun! It was like a parade on the ship and on the ground as we waved at each other!

Then off to Manila with a stop for a few days of work in the UK along the way.

When I finally landed in Manila…so many emotions. It felt like home in many ways. This is where we became a family of 3. Kai still calls herself a Filipina. ❤️

So many memories of our day to day…the gym Rick and I went to every morning and the coffee shop where we would have breakfast before I walked to work. Our standard Saturday morning breakfast spot and the plaza where Kai first rode her little scooter after breakfast.

But most importantly…the people. I got to have dinner with yaya, Kuya Toto and Ate Nelda…Kai’s nanny, our driver and housekeeper. They were our family when we lived in Manila and saying goodbye 5 years ago was one of the hardest things we have had to do. 💔 Loved being able to see them again. Of course they just wished Kai was there with me. ❤️

And on my last day I went for a run through our old neighborhood and ran by our old house and Kai’s favorite park. My heart hurt a bit thinking of the sentimental memories of bringing baby Kai home from Makati Med to this home and watching her grow from a baby to a toddler. ❤️

As they say…how lucky am I to have something so hard to say goodbye to. Thanks for the memories, Manila! Until next time…hopefully with Kai and Rick!
