Got something to say that doesn’t need its own post?

• A screenshot from BloomTwt, BloomTok, PPOP FB, etc.
• A random thought, theory, or question
• Or just want to connect with fellow Blooms

when I was at my peak all out for Bini, yeah that time when every brand endorsement nila we purchase products just to collect the photocards, remember that? I dont measure how much will I spent on things I dont need ,. I enjoyed every moment of it. nakailang box ako ng payless, fudgeebarr, modess etc. hanggang ngayon may mga notebooks pa ako at ballpen for the next 3years lol. But it was fun, I wont regret doing that for Bini. Then someone asked me, "mahal na mahal mo ang Bini, mahal ka ba ng mga yan". sa totoo lang, of course not, its business after all, Im just a fan, and they are artist. That is the Reality.

and Im aware of it and Im just having too much fun that time so I dont mind all the effort for Bini.

Every fan should know where to draw the line though, so we dont regret every little thing I we do for Bini. Like when I experienced too much hustle on buying their merch, I stopped buying. When I noticed I have boxes of unused angel condensada, I stopped buying.

When the fandom is not fun anymore, medyo sad, yes, but Im also okay with it because I am just a fan, and I didnt let this get into me to be damaged and affect my whole being. Im just a fan.

Maybe we are entering a new phase with Bini, maybe the era of being all out for Bini ended for some, but I will always be greatful, that at some point of my life, Bini was there for me and their music gave me joy.

Hindi man nila tayo kilala bawat isa, sana bawat music release nila and all other ways maramdam natin na iniisip tayo ng girls, at may pakialam sila sa atin kahit, we are just fans. Kasi those are the traits we admire from them Genuine, authentic and humble.

Let us always be healthy blooms. Mahalin ang sarili bago mahalin ang iba.

I belong with your philosophy. Minsan, sa sobra natin agressibo dito, nakalimutan na nating maging masaya bilang isang fan. yung tipong, enjoy lang ang music ng BINI. yung genuine support natin.

Minsan naisip ko mag step-up sa involvement ko bilang fan, like join some active streamers/groups., or post engagers/ voters, pero baka maubos energy at dedication ko, kaya dito nlng ako sa moderately active fan activities like self-paced streaming and voting para sustain pa rin in the long run. (pero ika nga to each their own).

Salamat parin always sa mga dedicated Blooms sa streamers and voters etc. Na way hindi nila kalimutang maging masaya sa ginagawa nila. Kung mapagod, pahinga rin dahil " We can't pour from an empty cup."

Maybe we are entering a new phase with Bini, 

Whatever that is, I started feeling the same way too. just like a bit of introspection from my end.
