If you would decode the title, yup, I happily received free TinyTAN Message Chocolates from OrigAMI.com.ph! But actually, it is not just them whom I want to say thank you to. Thanks too, ARMY Cavite Fanbase! Because for some, they claimed their pleasurable delights at the Ayala Malls since OrigAMI, the official TinyTAN Message Chocolate distributor in the Philippines, partnered with them. But for me, I got the TinyTAN Mic Drop in Red and Magic Door in Purple Message Chocolates via online. This big Filipino ARMY group I mentioned was the reason for my choco treats. Posted through Twitter, they taught the Filo Ami like me how to score these priceless BTS chocolates. For free. From OrigAMI PH. So I gave it a try. I just followed the simple mechanics, such as following OrigAMI's social media accounts and liking and sharing such posts. Then, I filled up a request form for my delivery details. That accounted me to shoulder my own shipping fee of PHP 100, to be honest, but it was so okay. A box of the TinyTAN chokollis is originally priced at PHP 1,099! And I secured, not just one but, two boxes without a charge! Still a steal! This is totally a win 💜 This official TinyTAN Message Chocolate merchandise is a successful product collaboration of HYBE and Starfox Family where they created four versions of inspiring boxes that are all filled with luscious chocolates, unique BTS animated characters stickers, and the sweetest messages from Bangtan Sonyeondan themselves. There are four kinds of TinyTAN Message Chocolate boxes and each has corresponding themed messages attached to it. For one, the TinyTAN Message Chocolate Basic in White refers to empathy and healing. The Mic Drop in Red for messages of courage. While both Magic Door in Pink and Purple walk the readers through hope and comfort. Amazing how even the boxes have meanings, right! What more if we would talk about the things inside? Every box has eight individual pieces of chocolates and is said to have 100% pure cacao from Belcolade. Right, that premium choco brand for Belgium chocolates makes them! No doubt as to why these TinyTAN chocos taste delicious! Grabbing a bite of the square-sized chokollis triggers the right amount of endorphins, more than enough to get through the day. And to cheer up the eater some more: a short, but lovey-dovey message appears when opening the chocolate! These TinyTAN Message Chocolates are not just called chocolates per se. As said, these are message chocolates! To double the happiness, encouraging messages are imprinted on each choco piece. Plus, to triple the excitement, a TinyTAN member awaits in every choco-yay! So in my opinion, I love the TinyTAN Message Chocolate very much because the sweets are oh-so freaking fine and kilig to the highest level since the notes come straight from the Bulletproof Boy Scouts! It is like receiving chokollis and sarang letters from Bangtannies in just one stuff, making it really impossible that these TinyTAN Message Chocolates would not lift your spirit up! Hands down for the makers because they are genius for producing these 💜 Two days after the order form registration, guess what, my free TinyTAN Message Chocolates from OrigAMI were delivered already! I wish I got all four of them, tbh, but only two boxes were given away per person. The nice thing though? Takers could freely choose which version to own. I also want the White and Pink. However, sparks were high on the Red Mic Drop and Purple Magic Door, so I summoned them to come home to me. And I was super happy when I saw the original hologram sticker and copyright notice on the packaging of the products! These indicators confirm that the gifts I received are true, official merch. So, I am real thankful! And though sent through a red eco bag, the boxes were well-secured. It was technically free, but the packaging still had this insulation thingy to avoid melting the chocos. The wrap surely helped, but I did not know that the storage temperature for TinyTAN chokollis is 18 to 22 degrees Celsius. I vlogged them on a hot afternoon, so most of mine were deformed. Kinda huhu, but gwaenchanha! Still enjoyed them! And so again, komawo so much, OrigAMI for bringing these TinyTAN Message Chocolates to PH! Thus, to lucky Filo ARMY like me! So to you reading this, Manila-bound or not, go on and check OrigAMI now! It is an e-commerce retail merchandiser that features authentic, enjoyable, useful pop culture products worldwide 💜 TinyTAN Message Chocolates made me sing Bulletproof Boy Scouts' Blood Sweat & Tears: Igeon nareul beolbatge hal jumun / Peaches and cream / Sweeter than sweet / Chocolate cheeks and chocolate wings! Indeed, these chocolates are as lit as BST and BTS! They are not too sweet, not too bitter, just perfectly-balanced flavored. And I also agree, the messages are very Bangtan Sonyeondan spells. Those kinds of transformative spells that turn bad days into better ones. Or you know, if you just wanna read some good-vibed quotes for instant motivation. Unarguably, these message chokollis are the top-tier representations of these seven Korean pop superstars! Like the chocos, adding sweetness to this bitter-like life. And like the msgs, giving that constant push to keep going and going and going until the dreams are achieved. Like me getting these outboxes for free, same as to BTS, freely loving them all my life. Whether TinyTAN or BT21, as long as it is connected to BTS, trust me, that would branch out some great, great, great inspirations. Unrelated to the chocos already, so you could stop reading here. The next sentences are just my random, quick love confessions for the Bangtan Boys. So go. Ka! Sksk. Because talking about inspirations, motivations, encouragements? In my mind, BTS is the first in line! I am a living testament to this, eh! Proven by many ARMY that BTS comes at the exact moment/s someone needs them. When I had that big breakdown, Seokjinnie and the guys were there. And whenever I am having bad mental health days, I just listen to BTS X Jin music, watch their clips, and read their posts. And like magic, I find myself doing well. Suddenly, I have the will to move again. I absorb the good stuff because all things BTS relates to the best, most positive, most beautiful things. These new generation kings have helped me fix myself, love myself, improve myself. For we are together on this journey. They make my days extraordinary. They make my life blissful. And so sweet of them, Tannies ensure that I am not alone. We are a million miles away physically, but I know, I have people I could hold on to in my darkest, brightest, and everything in-between moments. Still an introvert. Forever. But I am not alone, knowing I am with my seven. Never will be anymore. I have the bestest company that continually fills up the emptiness inside me now. And that is why I would never let go of them. Never. Ne! Everything really happens for a reason. And I believe the Almighty God, the Merciful Universe, and all the guiding deities must have aligned my path to be with Kim Namjoon, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, and most especially, the love of my life: Kim Seokjin. For now though, I just wanna say neomu neomu neomu kamsahamdago! And jeongmal saranghamnida, my Bangtan Sonyeondan! Himnaeseyo. Oh? Hwaiting always! Aja!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💖

Meeting the iconic Kim Seok-Jin, Min Yoon-Gi, Jung Ho-Seok, Kim Nam-Joon, Park Ji-Min, Kim Tae-Hyung, Jeon Jung-Kook; Bangtan Sonyeondan is one of my top, greatest, most anticipated dreams in life! I really want to see them as soon as possible. If you just know, I am even willing to go to South Korea, or wherever, as long as I am eligible to enter the country just to be with them. Yup, I am that looking forward and pinning on these hopes. But then! I am not the only one who would decide on this. I would totally, totally, totally love to attend the BTS concert/s and/or fan meeting/s at the right place and perfect time! So I am lifting these good faith intentions to the Universe. May the highest forces and mightiest deities be with me in this purple journey! All for the glory of God, let's get this and let it roll 💜💜💖 I became a BTS ARMY during the COVID-19 pandemic days. How I wish I could turn back the years and meet the seven Bangtan boys earlier. But then again, the magic door opens to an ami at the time one needs them the most, so... Geurae. It is true that I witnessed the Bang Bang Con 2021, Muster SoWooZoo, and Permission To Dance On Stage. However, no offense, I never bought a BTS online concert ticket. I just saw the performance clips, thanks to Twitter and YouTube. Used to the free streams from BANGTANTV and my fellow fans, I was not that interested in the theater live play too. Same as the reason why I had not at all purchased a virtual show pass, I am saving up for the real, live, and in-person BTS concert instead. To tell you all honestly, Dada and I booked a flight boarding to Incheon International Airport this March because we wanted to see the Bangtannies live. Mm-hmm, we did! However, it was canceled by the airlines due to high COVID-19 cases in South Korea. Sad. Attending the face-to-face con was not pushed through. But maybe, I really was meant to watch the BTS Permission To Dance On Stage - Seoul. Because aAahHhhhhh, my amazing boyfriend, he miraculously reserved a seat for the PTD in Seoul: Live Viewing at SM San Lazaro! If you only know how messed up the ticketing system of SM Cinema was. Filipino ARMY stayed up from midnight to morning, yet no progress on catching tix. The portal just began getting stable past five A.M. according to most Filo ami via tweets. Luckily, my Dada who is born with good fortune suddenly woke up around that blue hour and scored one! Yup, just one ticket, so that means I would go alone. Not a biggie, but I still hoped I was with Dada though. He was the one who booked anyway. Plus, he is one of us as he is a silent ARMY too. So here, hear! Here's a high-key proud shoutout to my Dada who has been very, very, veryyy supportive of all my crazy goals. Saying that I am grateful to you is an understatement! My love undoubtedly is Da-the best y'all ❤️💚💖 I was sooooooo happy when Dada said he got me a Live Viewing ticket for the BTS Permission To Dance On Stage in Seoul! So what do you expect? Of course, I was sooooooo excited when March 12th finally arrived! Although it was not the on-stage one that I expected, for me, this is still the first-ever BTS concert that I could attend. That was why I tried my best to still do the usual concert etiquette thingies of an ARMY during BTS live shows. Yup! Like the others, I treated this beautiful day as my Spring Day with the Bulletproof Boy Scouts. I played PTD first thing in the morning to feel the good vibes some more. And well, because it was my excuse to sing "the wait is over" lyrics out loud! Then my favorite part: I finally had the chance to dress up like a loud and proud Kim Seokjin-biased ARMY! The plan was to wear this Jin PTD Pop-Up long sleeves in Seoul. Yun pala, at SM Seoul Lazaro. Haha! Kidding aside, I was real glad that this white long-sleeved t-shirt with the literal Moon Jin graphic design was delivered early, so I was able to gear it up for that fun Saturday. Paired it with black Forever 21 leggings, white RJ socks though unseen, and the BTS X Fila Project 7: Back To Nature Court Plumpy Shoes in White/Purple/Purple that was modeled by Seokjin. For my accessories, I used my clay moon-heart-sparkle dangling earrings. I turned the Butter bracelet into a necklace because I really wanted to put it on but was afraid that it might fall off my slim wrist. I had two bags where one was a transparent cross bag and the other was an artsy OT7 tote bag. There, I displayed Jin on RJ hoodie fanmade keychain I bought from the December bazaar and the PTD Umbrella Pouch. Of course, to highlight that I am a Seokjinnie, the RJ headband! It is my first-ever son merchandise, so I could not believe that I styled it already! Surreal! Also flexed my adorable RJ ARMY Bomb cover to make my Map Of The Soul: Special Edition Light Stick in theme too! Super, like Super Tuna, proud of this OOTD! Not yet my best, but still! Love this very much! 💙💗💖 Moreover, I rose a little early that Spring Saturday not just to fashion myself, but for Dada and me to arrive at the event's venue early as well. You read that right, Dada did not just buy me tix but accompanied me too even if that means waiting outside! He is the sweetest and I am blessed that this man is mine. Just mine. Hihi. Though the concert was commencing in the afternoon, one tricycle + one jeepney + two trains ride + a few kilometers walk were waiting for us. We never mind all the travel, to be honest. We think that the commute series is always part of the adventure. Besides, been a while since Dada and I stepped our feet in Manila. Had anyone predicted that BTS would be the reason and not le b/vlog wants? That says something, right! And well, staying at the mall would be better than being late. Actually, we reached SM San Lazaro around 12:45 in the afternoon where our first agenda was to materialize the digital concert code into a tangible BTS ticket. Then, Da and I just roamed around. Amazed that we witnessed the staff setting up the mini photo booth for this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. Of course, must share that I was the first one who snapped some pictures there. Early bird perks! Because after Dada and I ate our lunch? Gosh, a looooong line greeted everyone on the floor! And just to add, aside from the picture spot, SM also placed a temporary merch store at the Snack Time Counter where fans could purchase the official BTS The Fact Photobook Special Edition: We Remember and We Remember Poster. If you are asking, no, I did not buy them because my sister owns those anyway. Plus, not my priority merch. But there, there 🖤🤍💜 Of course, SM Cinema reminded that common protocols like wearing face masks and proper social distancing should be practiced by the Filo ARMY while enjoying the Permission To Dance On Stage - Seoul live play. In addition, the management also released some concert viewing rules regarding general cinema guidelines, seat assignments, and customer safety. That was why, tbh, I was overwhelmed when I saw that there were Further Information, House Rules, and Public Advisory signs at the entrance of the theaters. But hey, I commend those regulations, as well as the stations they made for the PTD in Seoul Live Viewing party. I understand that all those were for everyone's welfare. And in fairness, it effectively worked as the event was organized. And at least, at least it was clearly stated that Filo ami could scream and stand up, unlike the physical crowd. At least! That was such a critical thing, eh. And speaking of crucial stuff, ticketholders could go to their respected theaters by 2:30 P.M. But I did not. Since Dada would be left for more than three hours and my seat was secured already anyway, I stayed a bit longer for him and just went in forty-five minutes before the show. It was not too early, not too late, just in the middle, just right. That was such a good call because it was just enough time to meet new people. Plus I even received two sets of freebies from my co-ARMY. Thankful that the people around me were nice, so I did not walk alone. Failed to ask the names of the friendly ami I met except for my seatmates. Sitting in the F aisle like a pretty VIP, I gained instant ARMY friends. We had some chats about the Bulletproof Boy Scouts, helped one another take pictures, and followed Instagram accounts as well. And can I stress how impressive the SM San Lazaro - Cinema 2 crowd was? We had two clappers, who happened to be my rowmates, so it administered some real-like Seoul feels if you know what I mean. There was this gay guy who was the life of the party, so no dull moments while waiting up until the end of the con. Because yup, we hyped each other throughout the concert! And when the live play was interrupted, we were all still laughing, comforting, dispelling the burden together. Got ARMY right behind us when we say so, indeed! Because of them, carrying bliss inside the souls, my cinema-concert experience was extra memorable. I took home not just the postcard giveaway and free Space of BTS voucher from SM that Sat night, but the buddies I gained and worth-keeping amikaela memories. Having known all these, I believe that we were the best of the best crowd! By any chance, BTS would include the Philippines in their upcoming world tour, see you when I see you SM Seoul Lazaro C2 ami! Manifesting that I would attend the in-person BTS concert as well, of course, eh! PH or anywhere, I would do all that I can to meet Bangtan Sonyeondan 🧡💜🧡 There were four Permission To Dance On Stage shows in Los Angeles, compared to South Korea with only three days. However, whether it is D-1 or D-2 or D-3 or D-4 via online or LA or at the homecourt or wherever, we all know that each BTS concert d-day has its own charm and prominence. Like this live viewing experience! There were no cinema concerts in LA, but there were in Seoul. Every ARMY, exhibit A is me, dreams of attending a Bangtan concert at their beloved homeland. So I guess that was the reason for the worldwide theater broadcast. And as said, that could be part of the unique feature for PTD - Seoul: Day 2. Might be true my theory. Or not. But yeah. I streamed a few PTD shows before and I think I already memorized the con setlist. I am not complaining though. I am flexing actually. Who would not anyway? So proud of fangirling these K-Pop kings! No matter how many times I watch these seven superstars, concerts or shows or random videos, I never get tired of them. Because BTS content would always be lit, would always serve, would always be the best! That is a given. So what do you think? Of course, I have sooooooo many treasurable stories about my BTS Permission To Dance On Stage - Seoul: Live Viewing cinema concert experience at SM San Lazaro! But for my favorite moments? Not just the real-time, but the real view while waiting for the live show! Imagine, the big screen showed as if we were an extended audience from Seoul. The feels were just unexplainable! But in a lovey-dovey way because my heart fluttered. Really, really, really attracting to see BTS personally because of this! Then, the high energy so much during the first set! As in! It was my first time feeling such fiery joy in my whole lifetime. And to tell you, this was just live via satellite. What more once it is already the f2f one! Must mention the Life Goes On, Boy With Luv, Dynamite X Butter mash-up because the third part just always emits positive vibes. You know, easy endorphins. From the human mood boosters. Very Bangtan Sonyeondan that set, so me likey! As for the happy-crazy times, Anpanman and Gogo! All of us went loco when those two songs played back-to-back. No one expected that coming, so we surprised! Then, add Idol! That was the peak for me. That was when the dark theater turned into a party club where everyone was dancing, singing, just being themselves. I then understood what Jinnie said before, that they do not need to dance at their cons anymore since every ARMY knows how to have fun by themselves just by listening to BTS as their background music, something like that. Sounds wahahahaha, but legit, for it happened to us in Cinema 2! True story, y'all! And since there was an ARMY Clapper Event in Seoul concerts, to me, this was one for the books. EPILOGUE : Young Forever for the second day. Made me reminisce that one con where the fans sang this to the boys and they were all touched. Since then, I could not help not to be emotional every time this legendary piece plays. For Young Forever is that meaningful as a song and as a memory. So hearing it unexpectedly at a show I attended? No, I was not crying, maybe you were! 💜🧡💜 Not gonna lie... I was absolutely down when Dada informed me that Cebu Pacific e-mailed him regarding our flight cancellations. Though it was more than a month before the green light, they canceled the trips since South Korea itself closed its borders due to rising COVID-19 positive patients there. I wish that Dada and I already visited my dream country since high school. But what could I do? No one to blame. That's-just-life cliche statement and all. Not to be feeler that the world is orbiting around me, but I was shocked when HYBE announced that there would be a one-day PTD live play in theaters. Like, they could do that in El Lay. Too. But no. They chose Seoul. Seoul! PTD in Seoul having live shows and live broadcasts in cinema theaters around the globe! Reading that news, I do not know, but it gave me a smile, as if comforting me. None of this is a coincidence, right? DNA! Well, the live viewing cheered me up. Yet for realz, I was not that into it. Again, because I am aiming for the actual one. But Dada was captivated. He thought me going to the cinema concert was a way to console me from the failed SoKor travel. And he got lucky for pre-ordering a ticket. Without a sweat! Plus I guess, my tweeted manifestations worked again and as usual. The Universe really was with him, with me, with us. Uncomplaining though! Love this Saturday the twelfth so much! Hello, I was part of the history, this historical moment. Someday, I would tell the future kids that this was the way we concert-ed during pandemic years. One for the books! The history books even! While this was not the physical, personal concert I goaled. I know that. However, the theater live play still alleviated my pain and longing for Bangtan. Completely different if you would think about it. But then again, also the same if you would think about it. Same same, but different and different, but same same. Gets? So I am forever grateful for the BTS Permission To Dance On Stage - Seoul: Live Viewing! I am convinced that my euphoria radiated through the pictures and videos I recorded, yet the thoughts and feelings I had were just beyond them. My words could not do justice as to how, why, what I was feeling. Let the raw vids and pics, the vibes I send from browsing them explicate everything. If you would look at my YouTube upload, most clips were Jin-focused. Disclaimer though, I focused on all of them seven in the theater experience, and the SM SL - C2 could attest to that. Besides, the vlog is made as a glimpse, a see-through, a collection of my favest memories from that superb evening. Kim Seokjin is my forever ultimate bias! That is right. But OT7 supporter for lifeu! So to my loves, BTS -- kamsahamnida! Jeongmal, jeongmal, jeongmal komapseumnida! Komawo from the day that I met you to this spring Saturday and the other spring days that are about to come. I am trying to make the most of what I could reach for now. Just here, appreciating the beauty of the present. At the same time, finger-crossing on that future when I would see the seven of you! Wanna, like super-duper, hoping and already manifesting and praying to all the gods and deities, meet BTS in the flesh! Manila, Seoul, Osaka, or wherever, let us see each other, oh? Waiting again, yes. But I am happily waiting for you, my Tannies. Because I love you so much! Mm. Saranghaeyo! Saranghamnida! Nan neoreul saranghae! Someday, I would say, even shout out loud these magic words to you. Bogoshipda, arasso? And again ~ I love you, my seven, my Bulletproof Boy Scouts! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 2022 has been manifested to be a happy year, of course and as usual, for BTS and ARMY and every beautiful people around the globe. And although the Bangtan boys were on their well-deserved holiday vacation, ARMY still welcomed a hectic schedule for the whole month of January as HYBE released a new BTS webtoon called 7 Fates: CHAKHO. Plus and the highlight of Jan? The Artist-Made Collection By BTS! The Budol Sonyeondan life goes on and on, 'no -- but I ain't complaining 💜💖 From the collection name itself, the Artist-Made Collection By BTS retails beyond-the-scene merchandises produced by the Bangtan Sonyeondan kings themselves! Yup, official merch created by RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook! Wow, right! And so, when I read about this broke-ning yet good news, not even knowing the items yet, I already told myself that I have to have one. At least one. Gotta get my ultimate bias Jin's merch no matter what mindset! And I did. Yayyy 💙💜 My Kim Seokjin is the very first member who showed his designed goods for the By BTS collection. And through the Artist-Made Collection Show By Jin, oh my gosh, I and the whole BTS Universe doped out where he got his super adorable pajamas in In The Soop 2! There we knew that the cutie patootie pjs came from his creative mind! Actually, since I am a pajama enthusiast, I searched for these jammies all over the internet because I really find them so, so, sooooo cute! Then I understood why I could not find them anywhere. Because the pajama would be a future BTS merch. Mind-blowing, aigoo! More reasons why I wanted Jin's personalized product/s 💙🖤 Anyway~ The one and only Worldwide Handsome displayed his self-made merch through a special making vlog premiered on Weverse and V Live apps. There, Seokjin revealed his two Jin-ius concepts: Good Day and Bad Day for both of his products: pajamas and pillows. Basically, the Good Day features an angel theme and the Bad Day has the devil theme. Since this blog post is about the pajama sets, I would talk about the pillows some other time. So! The Good Day Pajama is manufactured in a light blue fabric with sweetly cherub TinyTAN Jin prints. As per the Bad Day Pajama, it is in black with mischievous imp TinyTAN Jin prints. Seokjinnie's quirky designs are genderless because he thought not only of the fangirls but also the fanboys! This is also the reason why the pjs have a wider range of sizes from Medium to Large and XXL. Another wonderful highlight about his jim-jams is the roomy pockets! And not just big pockets, but many pockets! There is one on the top and three on the pants. Uh-huh, both sides and at the back. Moreover, the pajama genie dedicated a few trials on what material should be used for the clothing. And after careful deliberations, Jinnie figured out that cotton would be the best for everyone. Cotton's softness, lightness, and coziness strengths survive high and low temperatures, meaning, wearing the jammies all year round in any part of the world is no biggie! That is right, these Good Day and Bad Day Pajamas are made from 100% cotton for mega comfortable feels. Knowing all of these then, we could indeed conclude, such dreamy these comfy and stylish pajama sets made by Jin! 💙🖤💜 Seokjin, being quick-witted and extra that he is, gave a lot of thought and effort into his personalized merch. He did not just ensure that his pajamas are distinctively charming. But, he also made sure that these pjs incorporate optimistic yet deep essences. In the exclusive live show, Jinnie emphasized that dressing up in his designed pajamas should make ARMY self-analyze. As said, there are two categories, so you can pick the one, or both if you want, as long as it is desirable to thy heart. Because... Designer Kim Seokjin suggested wearing the so-called Angel Pajamas on days when you have done something that you are very proud of. You know, those days when you congratulate yourself on a job well done. The blue pjs also remind the fans to be good always and behave like the angels. Seokjin shares that he would love if amiiiiiii put the Good Day slash Angel Jammies more often. Such a good influencer, huh! On the other hand, choose the Devil Pajamas on days that you desiderated to live your day, but are not satisfied with how it turned out. Not because it is called the imp pjs, you should do bad things already, Jin noted. Instead, if you are disappointed for not meeting your own standards, let these jammies comfort you at the end of the day. Awww, right? Plus! Over and above, to shower more kilig in the room, Seokjinnie also added that he hopes the fans would wear the pajamas he made as if they are a warm hug from him. Asdfghjkl! Now you know why ARMY, especially Seokjin-biased fans like me, wanna catch the pajama sets so much? High-quality goods with the sincerest messages! Oh yeah! 💙🖤💜 Global, USA, or Japan Weverse Shops? The Sold-Out King Seokjin proved his brand power once again in the Artist-Made Collection By BTS! Both Good Day and Bad Day Pajama Sets by BTS Jin are priced at 119,000 KRW. You read that right, around 100 USD per set! If you are shocked about this, well, Seokjin who planned the adorbs pjs was also surprised. However, Jinnie assured the buyers, like yours truly, that HYBE definitely used, uses, and would use the best materials since they are fulfilling his self-designed merch wishes. Being the direct producer, of course, he meticulously knows about the ins and wants of his goods. And, he checked the products before the release, as seen in the live stream. Besides... Backtracking to the past similar items, such as the BTS BE Pajama Set, the costs actually ranges the same. Compared to the BTS SoWooZoo Pajama Set which has short sleeves tee and short shorts instead of long sleeves top and pants set like this one, also the TinyTAN Whale Pajama Dress which is only a nightgown-shirt-dress-ish, Seokjin's customized pajama set is actually estimated wayyy reasonably. Crazy how although fAnS seemed startled about the value, Jin's collection got sold out in quick minutes. Actually, just sixty seconds in Japan. Imagine Seokjinnies' trust to Seokjinnie! Fireworks claps for his major impact despite the unnecessary comments! Truly, he ama-Jin! 💙🖤💖 From the exact moment the agency announced the Artist-Made Collection by BTS plans, I was already that firm that I must get a merchandise prepared by my ult bias Kim WWH Seokjin, whatever it takes. My burning desire was more amplified though after watching Jin's making vlog where I finally found out that I could score the same pajamas as the one he was wearing on ITS2 because those pjs are actually his main merch! Yup, aside from the advanced thought that this would be a rare collection, I gained more reasons to purchase because these are the adorable-st jam-jams I was looking for since October! So... I reached out to my friend Jean right away for my pasabuy assistance as I could not take it if the Angel PJs would be my the-one-that-got-away merch. On the day Seokjin's items went on sale, I was on Weverse Shop, guarding the holy goods. And thank You-niverse, I secured the Good Day Pajama Set! If you are wondering, yes, I had an epiphany that mahal mahalin my Seokjinnie. However, I did not really care about the pricey tag because I have a soft spot for these cutesy pajamas in the first place. And most importantly, the superb products are KSJ-made anyway. My love put in his heart and soul, his blood and sweat and tears here. That is enough, more than enough reason, you know. And oh! Sharing too that I saw Jinnie's coll selling like hotcakes! After I refreshed the Wev Shop page in a minute, Good Day Pajama status switched from available to sold out. Then, the Bad Day Pajama followed seconds after. Witnessed a le-Jin-dary moment right there, woah! 💙🖤💖 I am one of the lucky first pre-order takers of the Good Day Pajama Set By BTS Jin. Such bragging rights! Chz, not chz! Haha! And like everyone, I was super-duper excited when the goody goods finally came home to me. Zero expectations about the packaging, to be honest, so I was astonished when a white dust bag glimpsed into the Weverse box. For me, this validates that the Artist-Made Collection By BTS could belong to the luxury brands already. Very posh everything eh. As in. Then, as I took out the big zipper bag, there was this extra spesh packet peeking which melts my heart over and over and over each time I see it! Head over heels in love with the attached envelope because it looks like a love letter from my beloved Kim Seokjin! It is very personalized since Jin's handwriting is imprinted on it. Also, browsing the accordion making log, Seokjin diaries out the detailed process of his self-curated merchandise, as if directly talking to me! All those explanations, drawings are just aww-ing! And you know the old, romantic times when a lover inserts a postcard and/or a picture along with the note? The Jin Good Day Pajama photocard has those feels, making this PC a much memorable one! Sparks are really strong! No offense to the main merch, but I never thought this brown card alone could make me truly, truly, truly happy already. UWU-zoned! aAaHhhhh, kiligs for real 💙🖤💜💖 For my own Good Day Pajama review, it is coming up now! If you are curious about the circulating hot comments on Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, or wherever, keep calm, and I would answer the basic faqs with the whole truth. Yup! No sugarcoating, but I also experienced the rustling, paper-like sounds when I first touched the Angel Pajama Set. However, I am not discrediting its material. I still believe that cotton is used in Jin's jim-jams, as declared by HYBE on the Weverse Shop. My licensed chemist slash Master of Materials Science and Engineering boyfriend confirmed that such swishes, particularly when rubbed, are just natural. You read that correctly, that could happen even with smooth-like-butter fabrics like cotton, due to friction. There could be residual materials from manufacturing and packaging too, the reason why the pjs appear a little stark. Know that any clothing, typically when new, might have some crisp as per him. So I, we suggest washing the precious jammies. Remember to do nice things habitually, so you would wear, then laundry the Angel Pajama. Follow these helpful tips, for sure, the pjs would then become softer and more comfortable eventually. Sksk! Other than that matter though? In all honesty, without bias even though the merch maker is the bias of all my bias, every piece of a thing about the Good Day Pajama Set by KSJ seems perfect! 💙🖤💜💖 The King Seokjin evinces that he is a true-blue pajama royalty. He knows that spacious jim-jams give a looooot of comfort to the wearer, so deciding a plus size on the measurement chart deserves two thumbs up! That shows inclusiveness for every body type. And unquestionably correct, the larger the pjs, the comfier it is. I personally do not mind oversized pajamas because pajamas are all about coziness anyway. Though you know, Jinnie, he even plotted his pj sets to be stylish as well! Mm-hmm! Aside from the snug needs, his pajamas' prints are just impressive! The TinyTAN Jin characters emit a personal touch. Yet, general too. And that is very Kim Seokjin! In addition, I commend WWH's designs because there are not a lot of androgynous jammies out there. See, I could matchy-matchy with him. At the same time, could do twinning with my ARMY girl friends. Usually, there are more feminine-patterned jamas. But thanks to Seokjinnie, guys do not need to worry about that anymore as anyone could wear his unique unisex pajamas without any awkwardness! And the roomy pockets? That is plain clever of him! This has been my night outfit since I was young, so I know that almost all pjs do not have pockets. By chance that there are, only on the top. Or only on one side of the pants or shorts. And normally, they are tiny. So I, I am rooting for Good Day And Bad Day Merch Designer Kim's innovative inventions. I am with him with all these! Love that aside from thorough research, his first-hand encounters are applied. Guess this is why the pajama sets by BTS Jin emerged out this great. Absolutely Seooook Jin-credible! 💙🖤💜💖 Happiness is an understatement, now that I own the lovely pajamas that I had been wanting. And... These are not just my desired jammies per se, these are even created by my gorgeous yeobo, Kim Seokjin-ssi! Elated for hitting two birds with one stone! So I tell you all, I promise to dearly take care of this Good Day Pajama Set by Designer Jin, specifically that I know that the goods are made out of love and filled with utmost passion and dedication. This is my most favorite BTS merch so far because my boy with luv is involved with everything here. Starting from the packet that is full of moon- and sunshine up to the most adorable pjs? This seems very personal, very Seokjin. No one could deny that since it is so visible from all aspects. I respect Jinnie for knowing what he wants and what ARMY needs. One for the books that he provided the cutest, as-it-should pajamas to sending motivational messages that I should appreciate my wins, accept my failures, surrender to a good night all the time, and just do better and better and better every next day. I appreciate these state-of-the-art-and-technology jam-jams, and at the same time, have fallen in love more after learning the meanings behind them. And Seokjin, he is the only person who could do that. Nobody does it like him. Right? Right. Right, right, right! As a self-proclaimed pajama lover, the Good Day and Bad Day Pajama Sets by BTS Jin are the dreams! Making the impossible to Jin-possible, you know. Whilst jin-spiring as well. I am just very proud of him! How could I not be though? He is that Jin-pressive! Witty Worldwide Handsome with a big heart and a little funk and soul? And me. Seokjinnie really has every beautiful thing in the world! ILYSM, KSJ 💙🖤💜💖💜🖤💙 It was a tiring, but productive, and fun Friday this fourth of March! Dada and I planned everything about this day as we were heading out. Gotta plot them errands out to sulit our labas! We squeezed in all the things we wanted and needed to do. Like getting our vaccine booster shots in the morning, lunching the Flavors of Asia set meals at McDonald's where Dada had his Ebi Burger, Nori Shake Shake Fries, and Matcha Sundae while I tasted the new Strawberry Banana Sundae, also the K-Chicken Burger and Honey Butter Shake Shake Fries again yay, shopping for domestic needs because adulting you know. And the highlight of the day? Visiting the BTS Pop-Up: Space of BTS in Metro Manila! 💜 Around December 2021, the SM Supermalls teased the Filipino ARMY again with Bangtan Sonyeondan's iconic logo. Since that was the tactic they did before for the BTS Pop-Up: Map Of The Soul in Metro Manila, Filo ARMY already decoded the signaled message. And boyyy, we were never wrong! Because days after, it was announced that another BTS Pop-Up is coming -- the Space of BTS! ✨ Same as the previous BTS Pop-Up Store, the Space of BTS is located at SM Mega Mall. However, you must know that it is now on the Upper Ground Floor of Building B and not on the third level of Mega Fashion Hall. The magic shop was ribbon cut during the festive Christmas Day of last year, just right in time for holiday gift-giving. No announcement yet regarding the extension date, but it is said to run until the end of March 📆 Although things are getting better, thank God, Space of BTS patrons are still encouraged for early registration through the online booking platform morningKall to ensure health and safety for all -- just like before. Advanced bookings are open every Wednesday at 1:00 PM. And this time, one booking is good for two people. Yes, if I reserved a slot, I have an extra ticket where I can bring my ARMY bestie. Better this plus one rule, to be honest. Because last time, with the one-account-per-person regulation, it was chaotic! Like a real concert tix reg, bardagulan here kasi. So imagine how happy I was that booked myself a ticket! But while signing up for my company, boom, sold out the slots already. Of course, I could not ditch my friends. In the end then, I unused my online ticket because we just walked in. Personal and legit story, bro! So whoever thought of this 1:2 ratio slot reservation deserves a reward! Claps to you! Thanks for this po!~ Dada and I, your 11/11 couple slash Filo ARMY couple ng taon na 'to, had been wanting to see the second installation of the BTS Pop-Up Store in Metro Manila. We just had our free time this month, and we know, it was kinda late already. But at least, we colored the plan, so relationship goals still unlocked! To be honest, albeit the planned visit, boyf and I did not reserve any slots because we tried walking in last year anyway. We just got lucky because, unlike the MOTS Pop-Up, there was no line when we went. So, we headed to the magic shop directly after having our temperature checked at the entrance. Common sense, but again, strict crowd control is implemented here at the Space. Therefore, proper physical distancing must be practiced between guests and staff. Wearing face masks, of course, is mandatory. Though removing them for photo ops could also be allowed, ensure to take your snap time a little quicker. More importantly, respect -- respect each other and do not be a toxic person :) As obvious from the title, the MOTS Showcase features official Bangtan items from the Map Of The Soul concept. What about the Space Pop-Up? The BTS Pop-Up: Space of BTS, whether in Metro Manila, Singapore, or Bangkok, generally showcases original BTS merchandises from the Basic collection to the greatest-of-all-time hits of Dynamite, Boy With Luv, Mic Drop, Idol, and DNA. Inspired by their bae-sick to best eras yet, the Space of BTS highlights exclusive BTS merch ranging from clothes, accessories, stationery, homeware, and other lifestyle stuff. I noticed that the Space Pop-Up offers more useful goods that could be used in everyday life. Shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets would always be present in any BTS Store, that was why I was ecstatic when I saw bathrobes, pajamas, dress shirts, slippers, and socks there. Usual mugs, stickers, ballpens, postcards, pins, and badges are found too, of course. But there are also various kinds of bags, baseball caps, makeup tools, hair rollers, scrunchies, even towels, mirrors, and rugs! And more, I swear! There are lots of essentials here. And that amazes me because fans can now effortlessly use BTS thingz in their daily lives. Like, woah! Just wow!~ BTS Pop-Ups are known for their strikingly impressive store designs, so ARMY has extra reasons to visit aside from merch splurging! For the Space of BTS, expect a minimalist approach with calming shades of purple. Here in Manila, a storefront display greets welcome. It has a customized purple pop art about the Philippines, a white BTS logo, and three glass drawer sets that exhibit a few of Space's bestseller items. At the back of this centerpiece is a post parcel wood wall design with cutie-patootie stickers. The background has these vibes as if telling us that the BTS Space Pop-Up Store from Seoul is being shipped out to Metro Manila! Aww, right? As for the shelves, some are white-washed, while some are wood-ish. Purple tubes are also assembled as clothing stands and merch racks. While the walls have concrete gray hues. Though facing outside, Mic Drop TinyTAN characters are also set out. As well as the wide screen that plays BTS music videos on loop. And the one and only photo area? The English version of Borahae, the I Purple You backdrop! Make sure to seize this photo opportunity and take the best shots in front of the purple neon sign for a full Space of BTS experience! :) Similar to what I said in my Map Of The Soul Showcase blog post, the items here in the Space of BTS, actually in any BTS Pop-Up, can be purchased through the Weverse Shop app. However... Going to BTS Pop-Up Stores is truly, truly, truly a more unforgettable encounter! Tipid with the international shipping fee, at the same point, no more waiting because the merchandises are already on-hand. By chance that your likened goods are not there at the physical shop, then, that is just the time to go to Weverse. Get what I mean? Take advantage of the BTS merch that are already here! If only I knew that the Space Pop-Up would come here, I might have not bought the DNA DIY notebook, Idol Jin scrunchies, Boy With Luv l-holders, and Black Swan feather pen via Weverse. Instead, I would just shop here personally, like what my biological and ARMY sister did! She gave me the Dynamite Jin acrylic ballpen. It was her Christmas gift. Because as said, Space opened last Dec. And well? I did not want to leave the Pop-Up with empty hands, so I bought a pair of warm fuzzy socks and a purple BTS logo badge. For memories! These are for memories. Heeheehee!~ Visiting BTS Pop-Up Stores could be equated to visiting magic shops. I must know, been gone to two already. And with that knowledge, these are the moments and encounters that I personally would not trade for the world. Personal experience would always be superior for me. Happy memories are irreplaceable, eh. Mm-hmm-nyway! If the MOTS Store visit only allowed 45 minutes per batch, the Space Pop-Up has no declared time limit. Besides, since there is just one main photo spot, fans might not stay that long anyway. Wish there were more picture-perfect spaces to enjoy though. Bitin eh. But oh well! In terms of the item collection, I like the Space of BTS more than the former. Though actually, there is a Map Of The Soul section when Dada and I went. Those could be the left goods from the previous Pop-Up. Guess not everyone is aware of this since ARMY knows Space are all about the Basic and Greatest Hits merch, so here. In case there are any the-merch-that-got-away at MOTS, check out Space too. Who knows? It might be there. Then, the thing I like the most here in BTS Pop-Up: Space of BTS in MM? Products are less pricier! Like, woohoo! PHP 1,000 would go a long way! Daebak 💜 Right, right! That is right! The BTS Pop-Up: Space of BTS in Metro Manila is still around the corners of SM Mega Mall by the 31st of March 2022. Go on and drop by! Whether you are buying or not. Or just wanna take some snaps for your socials or not. Or you a BTS ARMY or not. Just ka! Every BTS Pop-Up Store is worth seeing, just as how BTS deserves to be seen, heard, and loved by the entire Universe! 💜
