🎵: while we were introducing Astro’s song I had a thought - another benefit of becoming an adult is we can make better decisions on our own
🐻: yeah I think that’s the case for most people! Although a small group still do keep their childhood innocence/naivety~
[song: “Fanfare” by Davichi]
LaiLai said this song is really suitable for when spring transitions into summer and through this song it expresses the feelings of deepening love as it uses seasons as a metaphor for love. LL said this album’s songs are very comforting as well~
Kun asked LaiLai how he weighs romantic love against friendship love and LL said they’re about the same because he’s not a people person (LMAOOO mood)
🎵: sorry Ma laoshi 😂 (aka guozhen lol)
[song: “Spring Night” by RAYEON (Fanatics) and MK]
LL talked about how this bittersweet song is about an imperfect love story as you remember the things you can’t do after a breakup that you had promised to do together before. Kun said this sounds like a warm yet rly sad song 🥲
Now playing “Spring Night” by RAYEON (Fanatics), MK

+ from Monday to Friday your schedules are jam-packed with classes and even need to go to study hall at night and supplemental/tutoring classes in the weekends

T/N: aaaand that takes us full circle to where I started haha
~opening~
🐻: We often hear ppl say they don’t want to waste their free time, but also don’t know how to spend it meaningfully. Hobbies don’t spring up overnight & take time to cultivate, so u need to go step by step. That’s why taking the first step is so important!
🐻: We often think that when communicating, speaking is most important, but actually listening is rly important too! Effective communication includes listening to others and being respectful and attentive when they express themselves. That way you can become a good communicator!
🐻: Listening is not only using your ears, but with your whole heart to hear the unspoken messages and feelings behind the person’s words when chatting. Thus, attentively communicating will bring the best results!
~opening~
🐻: when we’re little we wish we can grow up quickly, but when we grow up we wish time would flow by slower. Wah~ this is growth - there’s both happiness & struggles. Everyone, what do you think was the time you grew up?
T/N: I’m gonna combust he looks so gooood 🥹
~opening~
🐻: as we go into summer, the fruits in the supermarkets start becoming plentiful in full force~ Hope everyone’s mood will be as sweet as this fruit! What is everyone’s favorite fruit?
🐻: Actually, there’s no perfect choice/solution in every situation - to accept the reality of each day and treasure your experiences that become a part of you is the best way to approach it!
🐻: one of the most hard working groups of people during this p*ndemic are our healthcare workers! Happy international Nurses Day to al nurses! Send in messages/your best wishes to nurses here~
