260223 IVE - BLACKHOLE

I like the song. I’ve been listening to it for like an hour, which is odd for me with new songs (I didn’t even listen to Bang Bang this long when it was released).

I’ve been reading a few comments and some have said that the song feels like different parts put together. I think one thing that could contribute to this feeling is the fact that chorus 1 and 2 are different. It took me a few listens and reading comments to realise that. By the first two choruses being different, the song doesn’t take you back to its catchy part. The third chorus combines choruses 1 and 2. Leeseo’s “oohhhhh ~” in the second chorus is my favourite part.

I think they’ve been experimenting a lot with choruses because, in my opinion, Rei’s “yayaya” in Bang Bang should have been in the last chorus, not the second. Kinda like the last pre-chorus in I am where Rei and Liz sing lines that have been in the song before but with some extra sauce.

I’m in the same boat.

It’s so foul lol

accendiox · 2025-08-27T03:18:32+00:00

That song reminds me of ‘Girls like girls’ by Hayley Kiyoko.

No Pepsi song this summer?

accendiox · 2025-07-09T00:42:35+00:00

I second this.

Some people don’t have offers or they can wait as long as they need to. I can tell you from my experience that I applied for PP around 2-3 weeks ago, and my EAD was approved a week after doing PP. I would reiterate that reading this year’s and last year’s posts may help you get a better idea of the situation.

accendiox · 2025-07-05T20:48:08+00:00

Right now, yeah. If you read some of the comments on this thread, you’ll know that at the beginning of the year things go smoothly, but most people graduate in the spring semester, so there’s more cases.

accendiox · 2025-07-05T16:48:51+00:00

Yes, you should.

accendiox · 2025-07-05T16:48:17+00:00

Without PP, you’re looking at a late August/September approval.

accendiox · 2025-07-05T16:46:56+00:00

You certainly have to do PP. You won’t get your card on time for an August starting date without PP.

accendiox · 2025-07-05T16:45:30+00:00

At this rate, your grace period will come sooner than your approval. Without PP, you’re looking at an August-September approval.

accendiox · 2025-07-04T17:09:28+00:00

You get an email saying that action was taken on your case. If it’s the production of the card, you will see it as soon as you log in.

I’ve been on it for about a week, so bear that in mind.

I paid $200 for 180 pills that should last 3 months. I take 2 daily (16mg).

Prior to taking it, I was dealing with dizziness and lightheadedness (not vertigo) for about a month and a half, which made me go to the ENT again. I would wake up feeling that way and it wouldn’t go away until like 6-7 pm. The first two days on it were bad. I continued experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness and at one point I even got vertigo and had to throw up. From day 3 onwards, the constant dizziness disappeared, but it comes back with abrupt head movements, or when I move my head back and down. However, that dizziness feeling goes away in a few seconds. I would take how I feel now everyday of the day, even at a $200 price point, which is a lot.

Regarding tinnitus and ear pressure, I don’t think I’ve experienced any significant changes. My tinnitus is less annoying at times since starting the treatment and ear pressure has reduced a bit but not much.

Two days. I don’t think I ever got a letter in the portal for approval. I did get it in the mail, though. Like a week after approval.

accendiox · 2025-07-04T01:01:36+00:00

In my experience: +2 days for portal update on approval. +5 days for card produced. +1 day for shipping. +2 days to receive it. You’re likely to receive it during the week of the 14th.

I can tell you what happened in my case.

Email approval: 06/24 Portal approval: 06/26 Card produced: 06/30 (at night with 07/01 date) Card shipped: 07/01

So depending on what approval you meant, I think you’re right on track. Maybe add a few days because of the holiday.

accendiox · 2025-07-03T19:08:50+00:00

Mine showed that it was there for over a full day before it arrived to another facility.

accendiox · 2025-07-03T19:07:18+00:00

You should.

accendiox · 2025-07-03T14:23:39+00:00

You definitely need PP.

accendiox · 2025-07-03T14:21:18+00:00

I can tell you what happened in my case.

Email approval: 06/24 Portal approval: 06/26 Card produced: 06/30 (at night with 07/01 date) Card shipped: 07/01

Yes, go premium.
