"why is this your favourite picture? why is it meaningful to you?"

i'm sure you know that this is a teaser picture for their latest album, "the most beautiful moment in life pt. 2". this picture hit my feels right away as i realised that, oh, this isn't just a candid shot of the boys having fun in nature. nope, i had a really deep theory about this picture. have you ever thought about how the boys would act like behind the camera? have you ever wondered, are they different people when they're not standing in front of a camera? i've always thought about that, and of course i couldn't find the answers to it because i'm only seeing them through my computer or phone screen. i don't even know them personally to be able to know their actual personalities. anyways, this picture potentially shows bangtan's real selves. behind those perfect images, veriety of personalities, synchronized dancing, and daily makeovers are humans. yes, humans. no matter how many times we call them "idols" or "angels" or basically any other nicknames, they are just like us, humans. are they perhaps indirectly telling us, through this picture, that sometimes, they're just tired and want to be free? they love fame, but of course, fame has its consequences. freedom is unlikely to be provided to them. this picture makes me see them as normal people. for a split second, when i first saw that picture, i thought, wait a minute are they really idols?? we might think that idols are lucky, they have fame, money, everything. but have we ever thought of what is happening behind their idol life? they have limited rest time, they can't date whoever they want, and they spend more than half of their lives, working. for what? for us, Armys, their fans. i like seeing them looking so happy in photoshoots like this. it's like, they are finally able to experience what it's like to be free. to not get stuck into a life where you have to be careful of what you do, because the world is watching you. even though they have fame, it didn't change the fact that they still want to enjoy a life with freedom. i hope when they retire, and are not idols anymore, they could do whatever they've always wanted to do, but never had the chance to. i hope they can enjoy the rest of their lives without having to please armys all the time, because they also need to please themselves!

"if bts comes to your country and you're the host, where would you bring them?"

okay, okay, i'm freaking out!! because i have tons of places in mind for those boys to go to! first of all, i live in the huge, tropical country, indonesia, in a city called surabaya. i believe bts likes waterparks, and playing with water in general, so there is a really popular waterpark here in surabaya called "ciputra waterpark". the last time i went to play there, it was a clean place and the there are loooads of things you could do there. the water slides are amazingly thrilling over there! here are some pictures.  

         

         

even though there are a lot of big malls and theme parks here in surabaya, i'd honestly take them to bali instead, where they can have the time of their lives!! bali is probably the most famous island in indonesia. so famous that i'm quite sure you've heard of bali before??? if not, then here's your chance, haha! i always see foreigners in bali, a lot of em. and of course, if you go there, you'll deifnitely know why. not only are there maaaany tourist attractions in bali, there are also very very very delicious food!! not even kidding, the food in bali is too good to be true. korean food are mostly spicy, right? well, indonesian food are also mostly spicy! so i'm pretty sure most of the boys would like indonesian food!

since bts loves to go to beaches, bali would be a place for them because there are a whole lot of beaches in bali. holy. i'd recommend the "kuta beach", one of the most popular beaches in bali, but it is unfortunately quite dirty now. however, it is a very convenient place because there are malls, souvenir shops, hotels and restaurants near that beach! they're so close that you can actuallt walk from the beach to those places. (transportation costs, terminated!) you can also ride boats and play some water sports like surfing, jet skiing, parasailing, etc. along the shore, in the shade, you can find people selling souvenirs, and there are even tattoo artists! and the tattoos are not permament, but you can still get a permament one if you want to. but they are not the tattoos that you just put water on then paste on your skin. they actually draw it manually. it's amazing, really. i once got a dolphin tattoo from one of the tattoo artists there, hehe. here are some pictures.

         

         

now ain't that a beautiful sunset? 

next up is a mall located very very near to that beach, it's called "discovery mall". it's literally just right behind of kuta beach!! okay, not exactly "behind", but if you walk all the way to the left from the main entrance of the beach, you'll find a huge stack of rocks. if you clim those rocks, that's it, you can see the mall! you'll see a long stairway to the entrance of the mall. but you don't have to go inside the mall if you don't want to, there are many restaurants below. for bts, i'd suggest going there in the evening, where it's calmer. i'm sure that they don't want to get stressed out from the huge crowds of people! if you go into the mall, you'll find, um, whatever you can find in any mall! i personally like that one ice-cream... i kinda forgot the brand, oops. i became so full just after eating one serving. lmao. there are a lot of clothing shops and shoe stores! i recently bought a pair of adidas shoes there because there was a 70% discount!! omg. the restaurants and cafes in that mall are also spot on! anyway, here are some pictures! 

         

there there! do you see the rocks?? < 3

there are still many places i'd like to mention but this would get too long. ;  ; for example, there are still many choices of beaches to go to like "nusa dua", "lovina beach"or "dreamland beach"! (you can always research about them if you want to.) i actually have a small house located in a small island in nusa dua itself, and my grandmother lives there! kya. oh wait! i just wanted to mention one last thing, my favourite resturant in bali!

it's a restaurant which mainly serves pork ribs. it's called "nuri's". of course, there are other dishes you could try but the pork ribs there are amazinG! the restaurant had won many awards and it is the most popular pork ribs restaurant in bali. (i think-) i mean all my friends know that place so- yeah, when i first ate there, i had a serving of pork ribs and also potato wedges. and i have to say, i was impressed!! it was basically love at first... taste. my stomach was stuffed. i couldn't eat anything the next day- (just kidding, i actually ate again, a lot.) the interior of the restaurant is also pretty creative! and you should totally go inside the toilets... it's... mind-blowing, really. here are some pictures of this wonderful delicacy.

         

         

i'm so hungry now. ARGHHHH. i gtg.

okay! i guess i'm finally done. phew. it took a lot of effort for me to do this! it took me like one and a half hours- but hey, it's totally worth it! i'm not only making this just for the prize, but I originally love sharing my opinions and experiences to other people. i love sharing my stories and theories. even though this might not be the best entry, i hope you'll like it and read it from start to end! thank you so much for taking your time to read this, if you do! really. also, thank you so much for holding another giveaway, i couldn't join your 1st bts giveaway because i only found out a few days ago. but i'm glad i found out about this one! i hope i'm not too late! i've joined giveaways before but have never won in any of them. : ( and to add in, i don't even have any bts albums or merch, even though bts is my ultimate group. sobs. because i'm just a broke 10th grader who's going to take her igcse exams next year (and of course, i have to pay for each subject exam i take- which is insanely expensive because it's an international exam. cries.) thank you so much for holding this giveaway, for this chance of winning a bts album! especially making it international. i'm sure the shipping fees will be expensive and being so willing to pay for the shipping fees takes guts! i really appreciate your genrosity! you're an angel. < 3 i hope luck sides with me so i could win this time, and spend a wonderful christmas and new year. merry christmas and happy new year in advance! i hope you'll spend those days wonderfully. toodles!
