Sayang at hindi ko nasunod ang plan ko. I checked my long wig kaso nagbuhol-buhol na sya at baka mahirap itame since outdoor ang ganap. Instead of being the moon, I decided to become the ocean. Mej 50-50 ako sa shoes ko here since di akma sa color palette hahaha 😅 Late me sa venue dahil galing work, natapos ang shift ng Sat at 5AM then nagpahinga before preparation.

Would also like to share my Esbi journey here to somehow inspire people. (Trigger warning: Self harm)

I lost my spark after ko maghighschool. Naaalala ko before na I had dreams, something I always look forward to para pag-igihan ang pag-aaral. Pero something happened: pumanaw si Mama bago ako makapagtapos.

That was year 2017, and I felt like a zombie the following years. I did not do well on my entrance exam for college, hindi nakakapasa sa mga interview for work, and I don't even know what I want for myself. All the certainties I had when I was younger vanished. I even gave myself an ultimatum: kapag di pa rin natanggap eh 'hihinto' na lang.

Then fastforward sa year 2022 around April-May, I saw Stell's vid from PBB guesting. I laughed hard, yung tawa na hindi cover up para maitago yung lungkot. It was genuine laughter, and then I found myself searching for more. I binge-watched everything and became a solid A'Tin after 1 week. Through those days, nagpalipat-lipat ako ng bias but still Mahalima.

Before learning the talent, I fell in love with the kindness, humility, and persistence.They gave me light and inspired me to get myself together. That same year, I got hired on August 7 and still here with the same company. I was able to pay my bills and go to concerts so thankful I 'stayed.'

Pero syempre hindi naman nauubos ang problema. Sabi nga ni Stell eh pabalik-balik lang but it is different this time. I get to enjoy the problems more kase I am looking forward to how things will unfold after. Everytime na may mga pagsubok, I am getting stronger at mas nagiging patient ako sa sarili ko at sa situation.

At the end of the concert, everyone shared their thank-you message. It was heartwarming, and kinailangan kong tumingin sa taas to stop my tears. Sayang make-up ko huhu 😭 EME hehe. Pero on a serious note, SLMT Esbi 💙

Salamat for being my moon!

I consider myself the ocean. Though hindi ko naachieve sa looks/outfit ko, that was my inspo. Madalas na relevant ang moon sa mga MVs nila at sobra kong naaappreciate ang pagliliwanag when I was at my darkest point. Pero katulad ng pagbibigay liwanag ng buwan sa karagatan, it made me glisten and shine sa gitna ng 'gabi.' Kasabay ng pagtupad nyo sa mga pangarap nyo, I was able to regain myself.

Ginusto kong magpatuloy; it almost felt like the gravitational pull of the moon na nagkacause ng high tide. I was inspired to do well. I now live on my own as part of being independent. I learned how to play guitar and ukelele. I even conquered my fear of riding a motorcycle. Sympre, I get to enjoy going to places para sa mga ganap.

Being a fan made me a better person. It brings me joy and it calms my wavering thoughts. Kaya itatakbo ko ang SB19 patungong tagumpay, asahan nyong nandito ako palagi sa mga susunod na milestones. Marami mang magbago, maraming pagsubok, I will always find myself running towards the same group I fell in love with. Palaging mamahalin ang Mahalima 💙✨️

To someone going through 'that' phase in their life. Please know na hindi kayo mag-isa. It will always get better, and mas marami pang nakahanda para sa atin in the future. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to DM me. You can also dial these:

Been busy lately, nagbinge-watch ng One Piece at nag-aadjust sa WFH setup. While scrolling sa X, saw this post from Josh way back 2019. Still can't believe how far they've come, already established 1Z and producing artists under their label.

May mga negativities man sa paligid or mga hindi inaasahang pangyayari, marami pa ring blessings ang dumating. Akala ko malaking setback na before yung trademark nila pero they pushed through by releasing solos. As a result, mas nagstrengthen ang talent/skills nila not only as a group but also individually. Kaya sana we can always highlight ang mga magagandang pangyayari instead of focusing on other things.

In a span of 7 years going 8, maraming pinagdaanan. Pero continuously ang pag-evolve nila at ng kanilang artistry. From rookies to becoming that PPOP group everyone looked up to. Nagsindi ng movement para sa mas marami pang dreamers to follow their footsteps.

At ngayon, napakadami na ulit ang nabubuong groups. I will be forever a solid PPOP enthusiast at ilalaban ko ang talento ng Pilipinas. Alam kong sa SB19 pa lang, hindi ko na mapagkasya ang time at finances ko. Pero I would try harder to support other artists that connect with me.

Sa bawat post, comment, share na ginagawa ko ay dala ko palagi ang ultimate goal ng Mahalima to showcase Filipino music/talent. Naniniwala ako na hindi ito magagawa ng isang grupo lang. Saying that, sana patuloy lang ang ating suporta 💙

Ps. Kitakits nga pala sa Escolta at New Frontier Theater para sa Xonara at G22. Already planned to dress-up as Alfea sa The Eve of an Alpha inspo from Lakumpake vid nila. Yung silvery-white na kumikinang at syempre iconic na ginger hair. Sana meron ding magcosplay as AJ and Jaz hihi 🤭 For debut ng Xonara, want ko sana outfit ni Megumi or Namie, pag hindi keri Nami ng One piece na lang siguro EME

Pps. Album/EP please for KAIA at concert po sa Alamat huhu 😭 Sa solo artist naman, sana keri pa budget ganap ni Janine B, Janine T, Arthur N, Zack T, and many more. Siguro need ko na magkaroon ng tatlong trabaho dahil WFH naman na hihi
