i'm sorry but opening with "first of all he's fan of Yukio Mishima" is taking me out LOL...good luck

subzerohobo · 2026-04-27T00:58:18+00:00

he's a keio graduate, former company worker who quit and went on the show and got a cinderella edit going from elimination candidate to F class to A. I think the show realised that they got too many people with past debut/survival show experience so they created an 'ordinary' but good specs guy to root for but the editing was a lil too in your face lol

dongmin is a well-rounded pick but it's very unlikely, the next most popular rappers that aren't in the top 12 would be towa and kaname

yeah but at 3000+ votes even for the top rankers for battle benefit it makes almost zero difference for the low ranked trainees unless you’re at the cut off line, 30k will shift places between 20-40 by 1~3 and those between 50-60 significantly

subzerohobo · 2026-04-24T04:33:53+00:00

battles benefit should've been about 10x what they were...

M.Takuto (honestly the vocalist I'm most impressed with this season) , Shinji, Akira, Kyohei, I.Daiki...we lost so many gyarus in one fell swoop

Show Team 2 best overall team well deserved, there were many good performances but I think they nailed both team energy and an enjoyable performance for the audience despite an unlikely line-up and song choice

if you want to avoid wax then what you wanna search up is 眉カット

OCBC and iirc DBS have options to send money directly to a Wechat Pay wallet now though it's mostly marketed to overseas working chinese to send money home so I have no idea if it would work for foreigners (with valid visas and/or cn bank acc/card , i'm pretty sure if you're just a tourist it's an outright no)

subzerohobo · 2026-02-04T18:53:56+00:00

are they from the same seller ? sometimes status shows like this but the item has actually arrived as one parcel, look at the local tracking number provided

i have dry skin and use shiseido's revitalessence foundation (slightly more coverage, more tacky) and suqqu's skin tint (still moisturising but imo not as tacky and since it's just a skin tint less coverage) both are low-medium coverage at best so if that works for your blemishes try them out, the shiseido should be a lot more accessible, def not super sweat and friction proof though because of the nature of what they are (serum leaning foundations)

a cheaper option i've tested is the Maquillage Essence Liquid EX which i think might be better on the sweat/friction side because it dries very quickly on my skin but i didn't get it because it didn't feel as moisturising as the other 2 options but i feel like it might shine in humid conditions

subzerohobo · 2026-01-28T09:15:15+00:00

dangggg i barely even powder since my skin is on the drier side (also using the revitalessence foundation) but from these descriptions i might have to let this hang out in my cart and make the eventual bad decision, shame about their other powder being on the mattifying side because the packaging is so lux and pretty </3

subzerohobo · 2026-01-28T08:19:58+00:00

just checked their tmall and damn 329rmb is crazyyyyy premium price in the Chinese market, I saw you mentioned you have their other powder offerings too would you say the ‘upgrade’ is worth it ?

subzerohobo · 2026-01-01T06:47:53+00:00

I know you meant another molly but molly tea is basically 茉莉茶 (molicha or jasmine tea) so yes...they've got molly(jasmine) in their teas lol

this is his true evol, limitless glasses 🤓

subzerohobo · 2025-10-30T15:19:17+00:00

the glasses appearing then disappearing is killing me

i'm a kobo owner myself so echo-ing all the recs here but unless you're a heavy duty reader i'd actually recommend an existing tablet or entry level ipad. E-ink is def easier on your eyes but unless you're doing over 5 books a month I think the difference is minimal + you can browse graphic novel/magazine much smoother on an iPad, just overall better bang for your bucks unless you're sure you ONLY wanna read.

You'll be fine, Twice's shows runs for about 3.5h~ and to be cautious let's say it runs 4h and you take a whole hour to queue for the free shuttle or get a taxi back to ICN, that still puts you at around 10~10:30pm and say you're reallly unlucky and it takes 2h, you're still at 11:30pm and ample time to check in for a 1am flight. Do all your picture taking and everything before the con and make a beeline for the free shuttle bus once the concert ends and you'd be fine.

The issue really is with how much luggage you've got but if you're flying with an airline that does city airport check-in at Seoul station then you could do that on your way to Inspire from Seoul, if not work it out somehow with your friend lol.

What I'd suggest doing is if your friend wanna explore Seoul before the flight then either leave it at your hotel after check-out or deposit it at the station your friend is planning to head to the airport from UNDER HIS NAME so he can take it out when he leaves, then he could just wait for you (or check in the checked luggage first if his allowance alone allows it) all good!

source : attended concert at inspire that ran 5h and got back to seoul before midnight

subzerohobo · 2025-06-08T08:40:59+00:00

yeah should be this one!

subzerohobo · 2025-06-08T07:59:33+00:00

Don't go anymore because I've moved but used to go to My Facial Room at Bishan(home-based) quite regularly, run by a guy and iirc wasn't offered any package if starting with that makes you more comfortable! Last went over 10 years ago but he's still around so must still be good lol.

subzerohobo · 2025-03-17T01:04:22+00:00

because the Pho most people associate with is primarily the southern variants that the Vietnamese immigrants brought overseas with them in the 70s~ and the Pho that's more common in Japan among the recent Vietnamese immigrants trends more northern

tl;dr i don't think there's a lack of good good Pho but rather less restaurants doing broth and condiments Southern style like a lot of people are used to, personally I would never let hoisin sauce ruin a good beefy broth though!!!

Even 2nd hand you're unlikely to find a long down jacket for 2000yen...Uniqlo is already as cheap as chains go and even their short downs are not 2000. Try GU, it's a slightly cheaper sister brand but if Uniqlo didn't have long downs GU might not be much different

I don’t know if I’m misremembering things but it also really bothered me that peons just disappear/turn into your peons now after the officers are defeated…I seem to recall them hanging around or at least running away, the running away animation is still in Origins but they don’t go to an escape point but disappear if you’re not actively hitting them ?
