(bts giveaway)
re-edit / updated again: 18th january 2016
this is an opportunity i wanted to grab and try
so here's a blogpost entry submitted for this giveaway conducted by taebi_ !
do join if you're willing to ^^
okay so the first thing that came up to my mind, when i've read the second rule (which was a favorite picture
related to bangtan) is their album picture of the most beautiful moment in life part 1. i know it's supposed to
be a photo of the seven of them or a photo of my bias in bangtan, but i wanted to make mine different,
because choosing one picture of them that justifies my love for them is so hard, but this album picture would
be the perfect highlight of my being a complete ARMY. this album picture also serves as the brief and concise
reason why i fell for BTS completely.
so, i already know their existence when they made their first amazing debut with no more dream, which is a real powerful song for a rookie (and i already have this premonition that they're going to make it big in the kpop industry) because let's face it, with 'no more dream' and 'n.o.' released, they proved that kpop could also make something other than the repeated love songs and whatnots. but that was what made me frightened (with them being big in the industry, they already gained attention). i'm both picky and emotional, so the year that they made a debut was the year that there's a lot of fights and rumors going on with my other fandom, and as much as i wanted to take a break from the stress life that the school and the endless fandom wars that's going on the internet, i think i couldn't handle getting attached to another fandom anymore.

then 2014 came and yes, the ultimate bias of mine from this specific group and i don't know, i was sad for a whole week and i don't even know what the hell i should do. and that was the moment that everything felt crumbling down, however i was lucky because i was able to accept the reality and to move on from it easily because that's when i thought that maybe it really is true, that change is the only thing constant in this world.
so, 2014 was a year full of issues, rumors, nightmares on reality for the whole kpop industry and since i was devastated,i was able to let myself focus on studying instead. (and that was the year i let myself slowly detach from kpop though i'm constantly updated with got7 // this was a whole another side story and it'd feel like a biography if i ever tell the story why // )
2015 came, since i'm in college and i'm freaking busy, i don't have any time to be updated with the only kpop group that i listen to (which is got7) anymore. when i had the chance to randomly browse for a music album playlist on youtube, this album came and i tried listening to it because it looks so tumblr-ish and aesthetically pretty. so while i was busy reviewing for an examination, the album itself became my company. the thing is, while listening to this album, my life completely went 360 degrees. (the first thought that came into my mind: "what the actual ? why did i not give myself to completely know bts?" )
the album is so amazing and i was completely blown away, so i made a promise to myself that i'm going to purchase this album once i have actually saved some money. (but then since we have a lot of projects to submit to school, and my mom got sick and was rushed into a hospital, there is no way that i'd be able to save some money for this album. and even if i know that it's illegal, i could only listen to this life-changing album online on youtube)
2015 was also a devastating year for me since i completely let myself be drowned with schoolworks. the only good things that actually happened this year were (a) that my mom was discharged from the hospital, and she's now doing fine and (b) the fact that BTS's music had been my company through the rough days that I got into. what i'm completely grateful was the fact that BTS had served as an inspiration for me to continue going on. through the days that i mostly felt depressed, down, helpless, and devastated, the seven of them served as the light for me in my darkest days.
okay since the first photo might not be accepted, i'm going to give you another answer, and this is the whole another reason on to why this is my favorite photo. okay hahahaha let's forget taehyung's reaction in this, i'm so sorry. i have yet to find another one (maybe?) with both of them smiling? or nah. hahaha this picture really made me clutch my heart because two of my biases are in one picture (which is very rare? because the probability of got7 x bts interactions would be like 5/100 )
when two of the ones who served as great inspiration for me interact with each other, the only thing that it makes me feel is pure happiness, nothing but pure bliss.
as i've said, both 2014 and 2015 were not really good years for me. i'm suffering from this depression that comes often, knocking me hard onto the ground, and while i feel like i am succumbed into a pit of darkness, both got7 and bts are the reasons why i keep continuing even though there are times where challenges are strangling me really hard.
but this is the real deal: got7 made me stan them because of their variety shows, and bts pulled me with both their life-changing music and their different personalities that completely bind them together.
gotbangtan interactions (x)
okay! NEW PICTURE ALERT! UPDATE ALERT! I ALREADY FOUND A PICTURE WHERE BOTH TAEHYUNG & MARK ARE SMILING! See?
DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS REALLY MADE ME SMILE? THIS IS NOW MY MOST FAVORITE PICTURE OF TAEHYUNG (with Mark) because both of them are my sunshine and loves of my life.

answer to fourth question:
if bts were to come to philippines, hmm, okay, so i have load of places to choose from because philippines is a tropical country (and the first thing that foreign artists happen to blurt out in concerts is "wow, it's so hot in here!")
[1] first one would be at my house. the thing is, i've seen them work so hard and hearing one of them injured/sick already tears my heart apart. the thing is i'm a teenage girl who doesn't cook (and doesn't know how to, surprise! surprise!) So hopefully, if I ever got the chance to drag them, the first idea is to my place. (Hopefully if that ever happens, I can already both cook and bake to let them try different Filipino dishes and delicacies that they may surely like. I wanted to also let them feel how Filipinos' hospitality is shown. (Jin had actually given me inspiration to learn to cook because he's a guy that can cook. It's actually a shame on me if I don't know how hahaha) Anyway, hopefully by then I could continually and slowly learn cooking!
[2] second one would be the obvious tourist spots of the philippines. there are a lot of choices to choose from but i'm guessing that boracay beach would be the most popular amongst variety of choices, so it would be a good idea to bring them there. (i'm not quite an adventurer and i, myself, haven't even been to one of these tourist attractions, but, it'd be a great idea to tour the philippines' main attractions with the seven of them. (it would be fun, i guess, even though the language barrier exists, okay, well maybe it's not that bad after all, kim namjoon exists and his english skills ;u;
[3] okay, the third and last one would be to have them freely tour on a mall, or a theme park, a museum, without covering their identity. the thing i've been wishing is how idols could also be seen as human beings who also wanted their privacy to be respected. it's such a shame that idols couldn't freely wander around public places :c
and lastly i just wanted to sincerely thank you for creating this giveaway! ❤
