Help?~ What would YOU like to see?~

Hello my BAYOG Fam lovelies!~ It’s BAYOG’s resident hella basic Asian chick, Real People Stuffs expert, BTS trash, and sad girl. I’m sure y’all can tell that I’ve been trying to get back into blogging more. I know this blog is super dear to the bros and I. The bros have been preoccupied with life and personal things. I’m the only one with [actual free time] thanks to the [quarantine life]. Not that I ever really had a life in the first place. So I took it upon myself to try to keep the blog as active and alive as I can. Although, I regret not being able to be as active as I could have been.

However, I do feel bad. I know the bros started this blog with the intention of it being focused on anime and gaming. Unfortunately, those aren’t really my areas of expertise. My interests are vastly different from the bros. Although, I do have manga and webtoons covered! My areas of expertise are more with real people stuff: movies, dramas, music, travel, cultural stuff, etc. I feel bad because it feels like I’ve flooded the blog with fangirl posts. It really wasn’t my intention to. I’m truly sorry y’all. It’s kind of one of the reasons why I haven’t really been posting as much. I struggled to come up with posts, and one of the reasons was because I didn’t want to take over the blog like that. So I’m sorry if I’ve annoyed you all with my content…

That being said, I’d like to ask for your help! I don’t want to make y’all uncomfortable and sad with my unintentional takeover of the blog. So I’d really like to ask you what it is *YOU* would like to see on our humble blog? I want to make it interesting and fun for everyone. So I just want to know the kind of content that you guys enjoy and would prefer to see. Are you interested in more of my fangirl or rant posts? Do you want more drama or movie posts? Did you want more manga/webtoon posts? Do you want me to do more music related posts? More playlists? Some covers? Maybe some more food related posts? Are there specific topics or series you want me to talk about? Seriously, I’m open to anything. After all, blogging is fun, but I want to put out content that’s enjoyable for you too! I thought it would help me find out where to put more focus on.

I’ve also been dabbling with the idea of doing my own podcast for the blog. It would be me discussing my usual kind of topics: drama or webtoon/manga rants, topics relating to certain series, music, fangirl stuff, etc. Basically, I thought it would be an easy way for me to not clutter the blog with my fangirl kind of topics. It’s easier to talk than write too. I thought it might be a fun idea. I just like being able to talk with y’all on a personal level. Plus, I thought it would be something productive that I could do by myself whenever I have insomnia. I figured this would also allow me to have content for you more frequently. So I wanted to know if y’all would be down for that as well~

Anyway, that’s it. I just wanted to know what kind of content you preferred and were looking for. I wanted to get some suggestions and ideas~ Again, it’s always fun making content for you guys. However, I also want to cater more towards the things you WANT to see. I’m an introvert that sucks at socializing. However, I truly do enjoy seeing people enjoy the content I put out. Although I suck at replying, I also really do love being able to read and to reply to your comments! It’s been fun making new friends through the blog~ Either way, let me know in the comments, my socials, or hit me up with a message!

Thank you loves, and take care~

BLACK LIVES MATTER

This is a difficult, but necessary matter to address. I’m not good at putting things into words, so I apologize. We all know the matter regarding the unjust murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others. The current Black Lives Matter protests are being covered globally. I’ve even seen it being covered daily by the Thai news. Racism is a very real thing. Being Asian, I’ve personally encountered bullshit racism on a daily basis. So I can relate and understand the struggles. However, I’m also aware of how much more difficult and blatant it is for black POC. BAYOG strongly stands with Black Lives Matter. We’ve individually done several donations. Of course, donations to support the cause and support change isn’t the only thing needed. Support for the cause and change also requires conversation. Make sure to have those conversations. Aside from donating, I had several conversations with my family. I explained things to my parents, especially since some news stories were being reported inaccurately. I was afraid it’d be a bit difficult. However, as fellow POC and human beings, it was a necessary conversation. My parents and grandma understand, and now stand on the same page regarding BLM as well. Please remember to be an active supporter, be it through donations, sharing information, and/or conversations and speaking up.

If you can, please consider donating. I’ve donated more than once as well. For one of my donations, I donated through the BTS ARMY x BLM project. I recommend that if you’re unsure of where to donate. This is because the donation will be split amongst several different non-profit organizations. Of course, you can also choose a specific organization(s) if you wish as well. You can find that [HERE].

Stay strong. Fight racism, police brutality, and bullshit. Don’t lose sight of the goal. We’re witnessing and being a part of history. Be allies and make sure change happens. Once again, BLACK LIVES MATTER.
