Hello, mina-san!
This year, I became a 5-year-old M!LKys last June. I can't believe it has already been five years. What a milestone! Within those five years of supporting M!LK, I have experienced so much "kilig" and heartbreaking moments. I laughed, cried tears of joy and sadness, went through the struggle of saving money to buy CDs, a photobook, and albums and so much more.
Of course, I have also met a lot of friends from all over the world, thanks to the boys. I've met friends from within the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, America, and Germany. They were with me during those happy moments of my fangirling life. I'm so happy I had them to express what excitement I have within me. A lot of them seem to leave the fandom (sad to say), but I'm so glad they've become part of my life as a M!LKys. I am also SO grateful that some of them became my friends outside of the fangirling world. I still have connections to some of them, while I lost connections to others for some reason. It breaks my heart but I can't do anything about it :(
M!LK has been my inspiration for everything I do, especially in school. I've managed to finish every year in school with honors.. awards, medals, certificates... they're one of the factors why I've been doing my best. I thank them for that as well.
During my first fangirl anniversary, I met this Thai girl. She commented in this blog and we managed to get connected on Twitter. There, she tweeted me a drawing she made for me:
So for this fifth-year anniversary, I decided to try making a rough drawing inspired by this drawing she made for me with watercolor instead.
Though I made it quick so it doesn't really look that nice HAHA. If you're reading this Kat-san, I want to tell you that I love the drawing that you made, I love you, and I miss you so much! Losing connection with you made me feel so sad. Hope you're doing fine!
To celebrate this milestone, I treated myself with a little snack. Luckily, my mom bought Krispy Kreme classic glazed donuts that time, perfect for tea.
I didn't have any frosting or any fancy things that I can use to decorate or write on the donut, so I used the power of the digital world haha
I could've treated myself to a nice meal outside or gotten a cake but it was in the middle of quarantine so I had to stay inside. This could do it, at least. I enjoy the treat anyway haha~
I'm so happy I've gotten this far. From five members to seven to five, from their Ameba blog to LINE from their first single to their 10th... I've witnessed so many things even if I've became more quiet. How they gradually became famous, how each of them slowly became so popular with their own dramas, from being extras to getting main roles, it's crazy!!! I'm so proud of them.
This blog was even with me through it all even when I left it during the 7-member M!LK days lol. ILY, BLOG!!
I want to keep supporting them, I want to try my best in staying in the fandom. As long as there's a founding member existing in the group, I'll try my best to support them no matter what. I thank them for the happiness they have brought to me. When I first met them, little did I know it was the start of a great change in my life. My life was ruined (lol jk HAHAHA).
And yes, I'm still determined to meet them one day. Everyone who formed the group, including the ones who left. I'm also determined to attend their events, perhaps have a handshake with them, take pictures with them/of them, talk to them, have their signatures, buy their merch and CDs from stores in Japan... everything I have missed doing in those past years.
