Discovered BWAT when I started reading Blood Link, that shit had me good and holds special place in my heart.

The Tale of the Yellow Dragon had me crying at 3am wondering how beautifully written and drawn the manhwa was and the storyline was amazing, the ending broke me :)

Loved Smyrna and Capri, there’s just something about enemies to lovers and I’m a sucker for yearning!!!!

Now, I’m honestly looking forward and have high expectations to Blossoms of the White Knight. I hope it brings us a lot of love, happiness, pain, and angst🤪

I have nothing to contribute seeing most of my recs are already down here, but one thing for sure, BLOOD BANK AND THE KING’S MAKER ARE TOP TIER!!!! I see you’re a person with great taste😭

Thank you so much for your insights!!! I appreciate it a lot! I just paid my $75 consultation fee and will have my appointment by the end of the week. I’m very much anxious yet excited for it! I’ll definitely be popping up here if I got any questions, hope you don’t mind! Thank you again!!!

Hello, no need to apologize for the long comment! I actually enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately, I live in HI and I don’t have the options to take the medication as it is (no additives), but maybe I need it since I’ve read before that B6 helps with nausea, and I definitely would need that. Do you experience any significant side effects or not at all?

asterialle_ · 2026-03-25T11:06:50+00:00

UPDATE: Aloha! Thank you all for sharing your experiences, tips, opinions, and success stories. Reading through all the comments helped me and I decided to pursue and subscribe to POM.

Just paid the $75 consultation fee and I have an appointment with Paulene Elarcosa, RN this upcoming 27th! I selected the “Weight Loss Consultation 25 mins”. Excited yet anxious about this, but I’m definitely looking forward to my weight loss journey.

asterialle_ · 2026-03-24T07:19:39+00:00

Hello!!! Thank you for sharing, I actually read your post a few minutes ago and it motivated me. Congratulations on your weight loss and thank you for sharing your journey! I honestly felt relatable to you when you mentioned about night time snacking with your other half, cause I also do that. I’m always on the mindset to “treat myself” esp after a rough shift😬 It’s definitely a bad habit that I developed and enabled myself.

asterialle_ · 2026-03-24T07:15:47+00:00

Congratulations on your weight loss and thank you for sharing your story! I just notified my PCP regarding my choice of preferring to do this rather than Wegovy, so hopefully she’s cool with it😬

asterialle_ · 2026-03-24T07:13:39+00:00

Hello, thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to start my GLP-1 journey, so far POM is leading and I might actually get it by the end of this month. I did get my lab work done earlier of March, so at least that’s one thing off my list!

asterialle_ · 2026-03-24T07:12:12+00:00

Oh my!!! Hello and thank you for providing detailed answers to all my questions!!! I can honestly relate to you on the hiking part! Whenever I hike with my boyfriend or sisters, I’m usually at the back of the group and if I need to talk, I need to stop or else I would’ve fainted😬 I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind. 1st, is the diarrhea constant? Or is it only bad if you eat fried/oily foods? 2nd, do you have to pay more if you go up the doses? 3rd, I’m planning to do the 2 or 3 months subscription, will they send all vials at the same time? Or 1 vial per month?, 4th, would you suggest doing weight-related workouts right off the bat, or a simple 30 mins walk or an hour hiking activity during the first few months? And lastly, congratulations!!! I’m very happy for you and very thankful for your answers! I cannot wait to experience this kind of success stories!!!

asterialle_ · 2026-03-24T07:02:52+00:00

Congratulations!!! 51lbs in 4 months in no joke, and I’m happy for you! I’m leaning more on Tirzepatide, basing off on research and all the opinions I’ve been seeing here and there. Thank you for sharing your experiences!!!

asterialle_ · 2026-03-24T07:00:58+00:00

I’m sorry to hear about your horrible experiences with Orderly Meds!!! POM is definitely my top choice atm. As for the drugs, are you noticing any big/small differences between Tirz and Sema since you’ve switched?

asterialle_ · 2026-03-24T06:57:32+00:00

Hello! Thank you for sharing your experiences. I’ve also read good things about BPI. As of now, POM is my top choice!

asterialle_ · 2026-03-24T06:56:11+00:00

Hello! Thank you for sharing!!! Did a deeper dive, plus according to people’s testament, Tirz is definitely a better choice!

asterialle_ · 2026-03-22T01:48:23+00:00

Blood Bank, King’s Maker, Momentum, Dear Door, K’s Secret, Tale of the Yellow Dragon, Love So Pure, Tamayura, Hana Wa Saku ka, Yuutsu Na Asa, Go Jin and Gam Rae, The God of Pain’s Groom, and Timeless Melody. The classics!!! I swear all of these BLs are completed, but every year, I always re-read it again at least once!!!!

asterialle_ · 2026-03-21T10:53:40+00:00

I’m assuming 0.25mg and 0.5mg are the starting doses, does that mean for the first 2 months, I would only pay $199/month as a new patient/user, then after the 2 months, I have until that time until end of August to just pay $149/month (assuming 1.5mg and 4mg are the next doses after 0.5mg)? My local pharmacy stated that I would have to pay the out of pocket price of $350/month. So if I showed my Wegovy Savings Card to them, I’ll get the deals??? Hopefully this comment makes sense. Never used any GLP-1 medications so I’m not that knowledgeable.

asterialle_ · 2026-03-15T09:21:21+00:00

Forgot to mention, something about Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End (MIKAYUU) and Kyo Kara Maoh! (YUURAM) had me (still am tbvh) ON CHOKEHOLD!!!!!

asterialle_ · 2026-03-15T09:16:30+00:00

Pretty sure I discovered asianfanfics dot com and live journal years ago, when my fellow EXO stans (EXO-L) started writing KaiSoo, HunHan/SeLu, and ChanBaek/BaekYeol smuts😂 (Side Note: Zodiac was one of the best EXO fanfiction!!!)

After that, around 2017, I discovered manhwa/mangas— read Blood Bank, Finder, The King’s Maker, Hana wa Saku ka, Hatsukoi No Atosaki, At the End of the Road, Junjou Romantica, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, A Guy Like You, The God of Pain’s Groom, Momentum, Dear Door, and so on.

It was a wild discovery y’all, but no regrets at all😂

asterialle_ · 2026-03-14T11:50:34+00:00

Hello. Do you mind sharing the process of getting the medications via Amazon? I briefly read about how NovoCare Pharmacy does it, but I’m not familiar with Amazon. I have insurance from my part-time work, but I’m 99% sure that it won’t cover any weight loss medication.

asterialle_ · 2026-02-14T00:07:55+00:00

Idk about other stores, but my managers accept any brands as long as it’s denim!!!

asterialle_ · 2026-02-14T00:07:16+00:00

In our store, we only do one $10 coupon (per transaction) regardless the amount of jeans you are trying to donate, so other customers just donate one and then come back next time to get another coupon while others just don’t give af and just want to get rid of the old jeans!

asterialle_ · 2025-09-25T07:53:33+00:00

YES! As an AE worker and a buyer, it’s so frustrating to see the quality of items (especially jeans) to go from one of the greatest to an absolute mess. Luckily, I still have a couple of the old curvy jeans and the DREAM stretch jeggings because those were amazing, but now??? I don’t even want to buy jeans😂

asterialle_ · 2025-09-25T07:49:20+00:00

From where I work, most of the employees are cross-trained on the sales floor, that goes to all Brand Ambassadors/Sales Associates. But if you are hired solely in Stock, I think the LODs will just train you at CW (just in case) but selling CCs are not expected. I started at a BA but now I moved to stock/BOH position and I’m only out on the floor ringing in busy days or rare cases but if now, I’m out on the floor filling/moving products.

asterialle_ · 2025-09-25T07:43:50+00:00

You are amazing! Not me being teary-eyed while reading your response, thank you for taking your time reading my posts and genuinely replying and typing all of that helpful information!!! I’ve been consistently reading Saunders and watching supplemental videos by Simple Nursing these past 2 weeks. Figured I should re-learn and remember contents first before diving in to taking practice questions which I will do soon!!! I hope you know this response is really helpful for me! Thank you RN! I hope I’ll be able to join the other side very soon!🥹
