What have I been doing these past few months when I resigned from work? Honestly, I have no idea.
Originally, the plan was to move out of the country and find a job in Singapore. That didn't work out too well. A friend who went there as early as March and returned last May didn't get a job. :( So my hope was crushed. I tried to move on and try other things. My other friend who resigned a month earlier than me made me rethink my plans and has asked me if I want to go to Dubai instead, I kind of agreed. Kind of. Not much of an intention there but at least I tried, or not. Well, as you know that didn't work out too well either.
When I think back, I just couldn't find it in me to like the idea of going to Dubai. I hated the sun, I hate hot weather and where am I supposed to go? Middle East. Where the sun is hotter than normal. Or something. And it's not that the plan didn't work out well, I actually gave up. I couldn't find a job that suit my experience or my course for that matter. If you must know, I have yet to practice my college degree. -__- Though its a bit late for me to do that now. Ugh. How did it end up like this?
I kind of regretted taking up Computer Engineering. Not kind of. I really, really regret it. It wasn't my interest. It's a spur of a moment thing. It was a new course available in our school and I thought, "hey, it's Engineering and it doesn't have a licensure exam, it doesn't have accounting.. ok, I'll take you!" BIG MISTAKE. I'm not even that good in math [as you all know, all Engineering courses have loads of Math subjects]. I actually thought it would have been better if I listened to my parents and took up education. I'd like to teach young kids. Not pre-school young but those in elementary. ;___; I want to teach English or History. I love History. :[
Personal issues aside, I have some fandom related stuff to tackle. xD But first, I want to congratulate JYJ for doing an all-kill on the online charts since last night for their new song 'Get Out'. Though it's not really new, as it had been sung on concerts, but still, this is the studio version so it's sorta new. LOL.
What fandom stuff am I going to talk about? Well, you know how in tumblr -confessions is kind of a trend? I have this one [actually, there's a lot but this just tops it] confession that I'd like to share here. It's this one:
"When did we start caring more about what we want than their happiness?"
In twitter, you read a lot of things that people say about fandom, this fandom. It's been tough, we all know. It's been 2 years since the trio [Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu] filed for a lawsuit against SME and almost 2 years since we all last saw them together. I know the fandom is divided right now [pro-HoMin anti-JYJ, pro-JYJ anti-HoMin, OT5] and there are still those stupid fanwars going on everytime one division say something but I don't really know why some people has stopped caring more about the boys' happiness. It makes me sad.
There are people who want them to rush getting back and performing together as a group again. But we can't rush these things. We are stuck like this right now because we still have no idea how this lawsuit will end. That's why we have to wait. If you can't wait, people will understand. But don't push these thoughts as if it's just gonna happen because you want it to. If anything, I think our boys are more eager to meet again and be one again, but with the situation right now its just impossible.
Some people want Yunho & Changmin to stop promoting as a duo, as DBSK/TVXQ. I for one isn't comfortable calling them as such but I have nothing against them performing as DBSK/TVXQ. [Maybe a bit bitter when they sing group songs but still...] Why? Do you want them to just sit around and wait until this lawsuit ends? What if it takes more years? Are you that selfish to have them stop doing what they love to do, performing? They're getting older and the time they have to perform for us is getting more and more limited. They want this. They deserve to do what they know will make them happy.
Others want Jaejoong, Yoochun & Junsu to stop pushing for their dreams. Just like Yunho & Changmin, they deserve to do what they want. They're fighting for what they want and what's wrong with that? Stop bringing these boys down as if they don't have enough trials to get over with. I know they appear strong but as fans, should they really be the one to comfort us and be strong for us? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
I know, it hurts. Every night, I go through the same pain as you all are. And every night I wonder if what's happening now is really what makes each one of them happy. I know, we're hurt.. but can you imagine how much more pain this has caused them? Sure, they're men but they are not just some random men who were put together and got separated like nothing. They're friends. I know these things have not turned for the better for both sides but for now, we have to keep supporting them for this is what makes them happy. We might see a 'sad' smile, 'faked' laugh.. but we can't keep wanting things from these boys. They're human too. They might appear strong but they have feelings too.
Let's not hope for things that would make us happy, let's hope for the things that will make them the happiest. Even if it hurts, because that's what a fan do. Wish for her idols' happiness no matter how much pain it will cause you.
