The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. (Camus)

To relax my mind and avoid an impending Irene+Seulgi addiction, I followed @Probotype's advice.

I also dedicate this to @jedmarcueto, my adopted kid and Kpop guardian.

For a few hours last night, my daughter once again schooled me on Kpop music.

I will NEVER be the same again.

(G)I-DLE

Anak: Comeback vid nila eto.
Me: Bakit, nawala ba sila nang matagal?
Anak: Hindi.
Me: Nagbreak-up ba sila tapos nagkabalikan?
Anak: Di din.
Me: Eh bakit sila my comeback?!

Dreamcatcher

Anak: Eto, Tay, baka magustuhan mo.
Me: Bakit?
Anak: Medyo rock at medyo fantasy.
Me: Ha?!
(Also me: Parang gusto kong magsuot ng trenchcoat at mag-hunting ng undead using my katana.)

Everglow

Me: Ano title ng kanta nila
Anak: "Dun-dun"

Anak: Tay, just think how wany times nila sinabi yung "dun dun" sa buong kanta.
Me: Ok.

Anak: Tay, ito favorite ni Kuya.
Me: Ano name nila?
Anak: MAMAMOO
Me: Ano?!
Anak: (Very slowly) MA-MA-MOO

Me: Ilan sila?
Anak: Lima.
Me: Bakit parang apat lang yung nakikita ko?
Anak: Absent yung isa.
Me: Aaaaaaahhhhh.

Me: May ibig sabihin ba ang CLC?
Anak: Crystal Clear
Me: Pano naging CLC ang Crystal Clear?!!!

#DiKoKinaya

So in the end, it was a binge-worthy musical trip.

Sadly, I am stuck with Naughty and that other MV with a crazy good choreo, Nunu Nana.

Don't judge me. The LSS is bad enough.

But any reason to just break out into a song and dance with my daughter is worth that hum. 😁🥺🤨
