Long time no see! Ya know, no views, no comments, no motivation... But I'm currently working on an article and have some other in mind so I hope I'll have a time to finish them. Or I'll post different ones 'cause it looks like I'm pretty busy next week! Anyways, today I was lucky to attend Samuel's prerecording for Music Core and I'm just so happy! It was a wonderfull experience. Here's a fanaccount for you. At 9:30am we had a meeting at MBC building. Lucky me has it just three subway stops from home, yayy. I was pretty cueless but the small crowd cought me and I was able to join a lovely girl who spoke English and navigated me. We stood in lines accoding to our submission numbers. I originally had 118 but it turned out I read the "tiers" rules wrongly (I thought it's "album OR digital album" but for the first tier it was "album AND digital album") so I was sent to the back. Yayy. Nevermind, in the end there was no problem for me, apart from not understanding what anyone said. When they checked it's really you, you got a sticker on your hand/album/slogan with today's date and your number on it. In the end I had 124. After some more waiting we went to the recording building where we sat down according to our numbers and - yeah, waited some more time. Luckily, the first time it was in a shadow and there was an air condition in the building so it was not really a burden. Around 11am we were let inside. At the first we were seated to wait and watched a recording for ONF group. They had their fans here which were cheering kinda loudly for them. They were pretty good and I like their song ON/OFF. Might find a way to my music library. (Btw, check it out!) The recording went with one rehearsal when artists had their names on them and two recordings. After ONF their fans went out and we were called in front of the stage. Yayy, Samuel! I thought. Apparently, the new girl group P.O.P. did not have any fans present so we were the audience for them. Kinda sad because they are cute and nice. They were very energetic and smiley and I did my best to cheer for them. Not as many fans as I would like joined though... At least nobody was unsupportive. Check their song Catch You too! After their three stages it was finally Muel time! The second he stepped his foot on the stage everyone screamed sooo loudly! (Made me wonder why they did not go at least half of it for the P.O.P. before...) Muel did his rehearsal and went backstage. Screams again. All the time. It was actually amazing! Noone was disrespectful. We fanchanted so loudly. Those who didn't know the fanchant could get a paper with it from fanclub masters. But I managed to learn it quickly (just stumbling on some Korean words but common, noone can hear you saying it a bit wrong). On his third stage (second recording take) he got confetti exploding twice at the end! Then they had to quickly clean it up because they needed to do another take, Samuel's dancing solo (where the rap line is). Then it was the end. Muel did not communicate with fans between the takes much (thought he was not ignoring us!) but I suppose he was just concentrating on the stage as he was pretty lovely at the end, waving and even shooting finger hearts. When we went out we lined up again, for minifanmeeting. This was a bit uncomfortable because after some time we had to sit down at the full sun around noon... The pawement you sit on was hot, air was hot, everything was hot. But so is Samuel and it was totally worth it! He came to the front, greeting us cheerfully. Then he posed a lot, even went to all sides of the square we were sitting in. I was in one corner so I got to be pretty close to him! He was cute and kinda shy. Lovely 16 years old boy~ When he was in front again, each line of fans stood up and went to him. Yeah, hear me right. I was in one of the first lines and it got me a bit unprepared and I was a bit shocked. Anyways, I got to stand in front of my patootie. I didn't know what to do (or more like what I can do to not be disrespectful) so I just told him "Hi, cutie." Such smart, much original. He replied "Hi, nice to meet you." I almost melted. But not visibly in front of him. I'm a mature 24 years old girl who feels like a proud mum to him. Everyone got some pack of sweets with thank you message right from his hands. Later the girls were more courageous and were high fiving him, holding hands for a second or asking him to pat their heads. It went kinda quickly but everyone got to spend a few seconds with him. It was really nice. He then spoke to us. I have totally no idea what he said but according to fans' responses he asked us if we're okay on the sun or something like that and told us to get some ice cream. That was the only word I understood. But it was a bit hard to hear what he says as he was talking to a small megaphone. Smallphone? He also said three(?) numbers and the fans with those numbers on their hands got a signed poster. Anyways, I think we handled it pretty well, as just once the fanclub master got a bit mad at someone who was still taking photos when Sam was leaving. Masters then thanked us and we thanked and clapped to them. In the end I came home with a wonderfull cloth slogan (official, 15000 won/13 USD/300 CZK), a cover for the slogan, a card where you can get stamps for attending recordings, small thank you card, fanchant, m&m's from Muel and lovely stickers from a lovely fan (who loved my eyes and I love you, pretty girl!). It was so greatly spent half a day. I cannot wait for another opportunity to attend prerecording, and I will so hope that he will have another minifanmeeting, because this time I have to give him some gift (fanclub masters were collecting them; I wanna write him a letter actually), hold his hand and tell him more ♥ Be go(o)d.

No worries, sweetie! You ARE a motivation, at least to me. I keep telling almost everyone I know "Hey, my good friend moved to Korea and that is fudging cool and also you are wrog, nothing is impossible (bitch!)!". A few things went wrong but it made me more courageous about getting shit together and get my ass up from here - and this - YOU - actually following your big dream IS a good motivation. Keep it up. Changes are always hard but I believe that everything you do will move you somewhere better. Fingers crossed ♡
