Of work, travel, and fandom...
I have always wanted to go to Japan and Korea as I'm a fan of their culture and music. Finally I was able to tick Japan off the list. Now, I'm planning to visit both countries (if my cash flow permits it so) (⌒_⌒;)
I just got my single entry S.Korean visa last Feb and I'm gad I was able to get it before the S.Korean embassy added more documents for visa application this March. Lucky~
Now, I just hope I could save for the trip this May. I'll be leaving my work this month and I'm looking for a new job to start this April. Heck, I got 1 month to prepare for the trip. This is $SC%Q2e3haf!$ (╮°-°)╮┳━━┳ ( ╯°□°)╯ ┻━━┻ Our new management in my current job is okay, but I need a change right now. Hence, I decided to resign. and Orlando Bloom look alike from Finance/Accounting already left so what's the point in staying right?
But here lies the problem now: Travel fund = nearing 0. And my visa is only valid til end of May. Great.
Another point: FANDOM.
I loveeeeeeeee JPOP esp JE artists and I'm glad to say that I've been in this fandom since 2006. I met people, made friends, flailed, but also met some not-so-nice people. That's fine with me.
However, HSJ fandom lately has been...disappointing. I can't say how much I love HSJ and how much I support them. I'm sure a lot of tobikkos feel that way too. But the influx of new fans (not all) has brought negative vibes in the fandom (well, for me) and some of the "veteran/older" fans have been giving off the nastier vibes and self-appointing themselves as 'fandom leaders' to the point that their interaction with the newbies and the rest of the fandom is becoming fake. No, wait. IT'S EFFIN FAKE. PERIOD.
I miss the old fandom bond and gatherings we have back then. There's much less people who knows HSJ or JE but the people are much closer and happier and real. Now, it has become some sort of politics and it's really frustrating. (╬ Ò﹏Ó)
I'm glad JUMP is slowly getting more recognition here in the Philippines. But I can't be completely happy with the way the fandom is like now. Is it too much to ask for people to stop being arrogant, chidish and self-centered?
...Sorry I just had to rant in the end. This has been bugging me lately an I'm frustrated and scared that the fandom will continue on like this.
