September 2017 Entry

September 2017 Entry 

Sorry for the late update. Things have been busy. 

========================= 

- Thanks to those that remembered. I went out with a friend to Kula Sushi (09.02). It's a conveyor belt sushi place. A friend works there, but she wasn't there that day. After that, we went to a nearby Target to walk and talk (a place with nice a/c) before I went to be bold.   

- I went to the dentist for the first time in many years (09.06). Yeah...I don't recall the last time I've had a dentist appointment. Funny enough, one of my aunts was leaving when I arrived so I know how I was recommended the place, ha. This was very nostalgic. All the sounds, tools (although there are some cool new ones now), the feeling of pain, etc. I used to want to be a dentist when growing up since I used to visit them a lot. The deep clean felt good, but I was a little loopy and tired afterwards. I will be returning in December to fix one of my molars. Then another future date will be set to fix one of my crowns.   

- Shredder VS Silver Samurai - Death Battle 

  

- My preorders for the SNSD and Jessica albums (10th anniversary for both) arrived (09.09).  

 

- Bought a copy of Batman and Harley Quinn (09.09). Didn't like it that much. A little too humorous than I would have liked. Not only that, I learned that my blu-ray player program doesn't work anymore (can't update it for some reason). The laptop lasted for a good 6+ years. 
  
 

- The Mae Young Classic finished (09.12). My pick won. And it's awesome that I will get to see her compete for the vacant NXT Women's Championship at the next TakeOver. Overall, the tournament was amazing. I do hope some of these women get picked up by WWE and are showcased properly. It would be good to add more to all of the women divisions. 
 
 

- Saw someone post the trailer for the Ranma 1/2 OVA & Movie Collection (09.30). I had no idea about it. It is definitely on my wish list. The current plan is to order it for a Christmas present to myself. 
 
 

========================= 

- Game Theory: How Zelda Breath of the Wild SOLVES The Zelda Timeline! 

  

- While I beat Sonic Mania with Sonic back at the end of August, I wasn't sure if I was going to bother playing the other character campaigns or not. But I had a lot of extra free time so I decided to do so (09.10). I beat the game with Knuckles and then Tails and collected all the Chaos Emeralds for both. 
 
 

 

- Nintendo Direct (09.13) 

  

- I purchased Metroid: Samus Returns along with the amiibo that were tied to it (09.15). I unfortunately lost the key chain 24 hours later. Some stuff fell off my desk and it launched the key chain into a pile of other stuff that I did not bother looking through. I didn't play the game until the 18th and I beat the game early October. You can read about it in next month's entry. 
   
 

- While out on a Sunday, I decided to go to Dave & Busters to kill time (09.17). DDRA was up and working so I played 3 songs. The photo you see posted was from my second song. I don't normally full combo a song so I was surprised. 
 
 

Afterwards, I was bold again. 

- Game Sleuth: Secret Enemy Fight in Final Fantasy VII? 

  

========================= 

- HER finally reopened (09.02). The word that went around for a while was "normalcy" and it was good to see that we were all getting back to it. 
 

- Another new silly video; What Not To Do Around Your TV (09.03). 
 
 

- Our first monthly meeting after Harvey took place (09.05). The main frustration was picking up the food as it took 2 hours. Thankfully Agent Widdershins came along with me as I would have been highly upset had I gone alone. But it was a fun meeting. There was a lot of video sharing afterwards with one featuring Agent Striker being the highlight. 
 

- We finally announced that we had been working with Rice University in an effort to create internships for creating escape rooms. The downside to that was that Agent Coda had to resign from the company due to conflict of interest (09.06). We knew that it was a high possibility, but it was official. The thing is, it's a great opportunity for her and HER. We threw her a surprise going away party at work. She won't be a stranger, but she will be missed. 
 

- Our planned activity for our company meeting was to go to Honey Art Cafe for a painting session. They emailed us in August to do a trade for them coming to HER. Due to Hurricane Harvey, we had to delay things. But we finally went to do it (09.12). The one thing I mention to the staff is that at first we were all being normal and joking around. But there was a point where everyone was quiet and concentrating on their creations. I'm glad that everyone enjoyed themselves. 
 

- Soon after Agent Coda left us, Agent Ca$h also had to announce her leave from the company. The hurricane wasn't too kind on her so decision had to be made (not to go into the details). We threw her a surprise farewell party a few days before her final day. I missed that unfortunately due to being sick, but made sure to be there for her last day (09.22). Similarly to Agent Coda, she will not be a stranger and she will be missed. 
 

- And September's blog was written by Agent Oculus. 


========================= 

- Yoona - When The Wind Blows (MV) 

  

- My mom had emergency heart surgery (09.11). Initially, she had planned to have it in December, but she went to get a second opinion and get a check up. The doctors then said she needed to have it at that moment. I knew something was wrong as she and my dad were still gone from the check up that was early in the morning. I called and my dad filled me in on things before she was going in to surgery. While I wanted to go there, he told to stay home. Hours later, he called and let me know the surgery was successful. There were some complications, but she pulled through. She would be out of it that night so dad came home to prepare things and rest. 

The next morning, I went with my dad to visit. The first image I saw of her was in bed with so many machines, wires, and tubes connected to her and it was hard to bare. Even though things were fine, I broke down. I asked the nurse on hand to just explain everything so I could know. When she was awake, it was tough communicating with her as she couldn't talk and it was hard to read her handwriting. Plus when she groaned and moaned in pain or if the machines started beeping, I would immediately worry. 

After that first visit, I went to work. That's how it was for the couple of weeks she was in the hospital. I went to visit her early, I went to work, and I went home. On my days off, I would swap with my dad so he can go home, wash up, cook, and do anything else he needed to while I was watching mom in the hospital. He was doing all that he could for her and I can't imagine the toll it put on him and how he felt. I was low on energy, lost lots of sleep, and even got sick during this time. I did let management know what was going on (not the full details at first) in case I had to not go in to work and they were understanding. Slowly I had been telling other coworkers. No one could tell anything was wrong while I was at work though. I actually haven't told a lot of friends yet either. Just kept it to myself.  

The great thing was that my mom improved as the days went by. Originally, I was going to be very detailed about each day, but that is a lot to relive. Just know that there were troubles each day, but like I mentioned, she got better each day. Tubes, wires, and machines were removed, she was able to talk like normal and be more active, and more good things. 

A special thank you to all the doctors and nurses that helped her. Especially to Nurse Bridgette as she was my mom's and my favorite nurse that she had. 

Mom did stay longer than anticipated as her heart beat wasn't returning to normal without the help of machines. She did have a pacemaker installed in the end. Coincidentally, she was able to finally come home on my dad's birthday and was home on her birthday days later. She has been getting better and stronger day by day. I will give updates in future posts for sure. As for now, she is home and recovering and is doing okay.  

- That's all for September. Thank you for reading.

August 2017 Entry

August 2017 Entry

August, here we go. 

========================= 

- Caught up on NXT: TakeOver Brooklyn III (08.19) the day after (as usual) and that was a great event. Great matches and surprises all around made for a fun watch.

- And SummerSlam (08.20) was also fun. Some of the matches were a little blah, but everything else was so good. 


- I enjoyed the Cricket Wireless video John Cena made last year. This new video (08.21) that followed up on it pulled on the heartstrings. 


- Speaking of John Cena, his promo with Roman Reigns (08.28) was highly entertaining. 
 

- The Mae Young Classic started (08.28). Round 1 had some great matches especially the final match between Kairi Sane and Tessa Blanchard. I'm excited to see more of these women get signed by the WWE. Other than Kairi Sane, my other pick is Toni Storm. 
 

========================= 

- I completed the last set of trials for the Trial of the Sword (08.06). A walkthrough did help with planning ahead of time. It was tough (and I lost my touch of reflecting lasers with my shield), but it was a great test. 
 

After that, I beat the game one more time to take the last couple photos I needed for the compendium. Other than upgrading all of the armor and playing on hard mode, I have done everything there is to do in Breath of the Wild. Can't wait for the next round of DLC to come out. 

- It's cool to see that Apollo Justice is getting a rerelease (08.09). I know that it wasn't a favorite among many, but I enjoyed it. It will be fun to play through it a second time. 


- Agent Blue and I had been planning to do a completionist run of Shovel Knight for a while now, but it kept getting delayed due to outside factors. But it finally happened (08.13). Unbeknownst to us, we actually had it on gender swap mode so we were confused on some of the dialogue in the beginning, ha. It did take about as long as I thought it would, but we did it; 100% complete. 
 

- A big box was waiting for me at home after a day of work. It was my collector's edition of Sonic Mania (08.15). It's very dang cool looking. Unfortunately, I don't have much room to display it so it remains in its box. 


But playing Sonic Mania itself, wow, so nostalgic and fun. It is a must for any fan of Sonic. I did beat it not too long after (08.25). I also went back and collect all of the Chaos Emeralds to get the true Sonic ending. Did I play it again with other characters? You'll find out in next month's entry. But if you already follow me Facebook or Twitter, you already know, ha. 
 


- The DLC for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero came out (08.29). Pirate Queen's Quest puts you in the boots of Risky Boots as you see what she did during the events of Half-Genie Hero. Did a completionist run of this and enjoyed it. 

I wasn't sure if I was going to double dip on this game and get it for the Switch like I did with Shovel Knight, but I want to wait for a physical copy if it ever comes out. For now, I only spent the $10 to get the DLC on the Wii U. 
  

- The Nintendo Switch Nindies Showcase Summer 2017 was a good watch (08.30). It's very cool to see great third party developers bringing some great games to the Switch soon. Out of what they showed, I'm looking forward to Super Meat Boy Forever (maybe), Shovel Knight: King of Cards (definite as well as the new amiibo), Floor Kids (maybe), and Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes (Hell yes). 
 


========================= 

- After another company meeting, our company activity was to go to another escape room (08.02). My personal record is now 17 wins out of 22 escape rooms.

- Our latest in a series of videos released. Enjoy 5 Brilliant Ways To Open A Lock featuring Agent Widdershins. 


- A friend to the owner came to HER not too long ago. His wife ended up writing a blog about us (08.07). That's always nice to see others talk about us. 
 

- I have now been at the Houston Escape Room for 3 years (08.09). I had my yearly evaluation soon after (08.16). It did not go as well as anticipated. It wasn't completely bad, but I really did not feel good after it and for a couple weeks. 

I did have a meeting with the owner about the new direction we are taking our social media, but it ended up being a bit of a therapy session. I shed some tears as I was able to vent some frustrations and he helped me feel better about things. Someone like him is hard to find as he will always strive to lift anyone up. Thank you, Agent Raynor.   
- For now, the last Hunks of HER (08.15).  

https://www.instagram.com/p/BX0nFNSFf6V/?taken-by=houstonescaperoomhttps://www.instagram.com/p/BX0nFNSFf6V/?taken-by=houstonescaperoom

- A few days after Hurricane Harvey, I went to check on HER (08.30). My dad came with me. It was also the first day outside after the natural disaster so it was interesting to see how things were in town. The ride there was fine. There was only one road closed on the way there and the way back. 

Thankfully, we didn't have any major damage. The place smelled bad and one of the lights in one of the escape rooms was hanging low. The worst was our basement having some flood damage. I was told a couple days later by our neighbors that there was at least 500 gallons of water collectively removed from the basement. That's crazy.  

- And this month's blog was penned by Agent Blue-Heeler (08.31). 
 

========================= 

- SNSD - Holiday (MV) 


- SNSD - All Night (MV) 


- Jessica - Summer Storm (MV) 


- BoA - CAMO (SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR VI) 


- One thing I did not mention in the work section of this blog entry is about a customer (08.11). She was gorgeous and I was facilitating her session. At first it was just her and her 2 friends as the other strangers signed up for the session were late. So they I offered Casual Mode, which they said they would think about it. And yes, they were her friends as I sometimes ask how teams know each other in the briefing room. One thing I noticed for sure was her wonderful smile. In the room, I did notice how hot she really was. Breathtaking. 

The other two late customers came in and joined after about 10 minutes. By that time, the team already wanted to move on to Casual Mode. That gave me the opportunity to interact with her more. I actually didn't help her first (helped her friend). But I did look for the any chances there were. I did notice that she had an accent (Brazilian). As time passed, I knew I could not let her leave without saying something to her. 

In the lobby, they did ask if there was anything close by to go to. I walked out with them to point out what was near by, which I've done for other customers in the past. We did exchange some pleasantries (found at she was the one that wanted to come to HER). And then they were on their way...and I had not said anything to her. In a last ditch effort, I called out to her and commented on her accent again. Then I looked at her friends and bluntly said "Sorry, but I'm trying to hit on your friend and I'm really bad at it." Everyone laughed. Then her friend said that it was okay and that I can talk to her while they moved their cars. I was nervous and she was smiling and giggling the whole time. Asked her on a date, she had just got out of a relationship. So we exchanged numbers before she rejoined her friends. That was the happiest I had been in a long time. Unfortunately, she never responded to my texts afterwards, but it was incredibly memorable.     

- And there is no way I could not mention Hurricane Harvey (08.25). We closed HER from that weekend at least. That weekend grew to a week. I was relieved that everyone from work made it out okay. Not to say that none of them had suffered anything from it, but I'm glad it wasn't worse. 

As for my home, my family knew from past flooding that we would be fine. The house is on high elevation. While the street flooded, it never touched us. The only problems we had was losing power for 2 hours the first Saturday and the internet for an hour the following day. 

Kept myself busy by checking in on friends and family (those that needed to evacuate did). I watched a lot of YouTube (got into Super Beard Bros). And I played games (beat Sonic Mania and Pirate Queen's Quest). Other than that, it was great to see Houston pull together. 

- And that is it for August. It definitely had its ups and downs. Everyone, stay strong.

July 2017 Entry

July 2017 Entry 

More than halfway through the year. July felt like it went by incredibly fast. 

========================= 

- Bought my monthly new snack; Prince Polo (07.08). Despite the chocolate melting to the wrappers, I like these chocolate bars. I actually haven't finished them as there are 32 total. I was going to eat one a day, but I actually still have about half left. I haven't even finished the Starbursts I bought last month. 
 
 

- RAW was in Houston and of course I had to go (07.10). My friend and I sat next to a dad and his son who dressed up like the Miz. We had a blast. My friend and I were just losing it the entire time (especially when Brock said "s#!t"). Plus I never thought I would see the Hardyz or Kurt Angle live at a show (chanting "You Suck" was fun). We had good seats (never sat in this section before) where you had little obstruction and could be seen on TV). You can easily spot us thanks to my Rated R title belt. 
  


- I was supposed to go to San Antonio with a friend to visit a friend (07.29). Unfortunately, it got cancelled for legitimate reasons. Maybe later this year, who knows. But I did take the day off to just relax (mental health day). 

========================= 

- Pikmin Short Movies became a My Nintendo prize so I got them for the Wii U (07.17). They are very full of charm and personality. And my goodness does it look great. 
 

- Got 7 more amiibo this month (07.23, 07.28). Had to wait and order Corrin Player 2 from Amazon later on the release date, but I picked up the rest since I had them reserved (Corrin Player 1, both Clouds, and both Bayonettas). A week later, I picked up the Pikmin amiibo. I was hoping my Gamestop would have Olimar as well so I could get them together, but no. It's all good. I now own 90 amiibo. 
 

- The same day I bought the Pikmin amiibo, I also picked up a New 2DSXL. I unboxed it the next day (07.29) and started to look online for how to transfer data. I actually was at a loss as I didn't initially see where the microSD card slot was (it was next to the game slot). The day after, I started the transfer process. Didn't take too long. The next day, I put on screen protectors. Did the top one okay, but the bottom one I had to try twice. There is actually a small tiny hair towards the bottom left corner, but I didn't want to waste another screen protector in the process. The system itself is nice. 
 

- And I did it. It took many hours, but I collected all 900 Korok seeds (07.31). Thank goodness for this online interactive map I was able to find them all (https://www.zeldadungeon.net/breath-of-the-wild-interactive-map/). Silly me didn't establish a process on how to find them all. I just didn't want my Hero's Path to look like I stuck to one area trying to find them all. So I was globe hopping, marking 5 spots, going for them (if I could), stick to the area for a bit (or move elsewhere), repeat. It only became tougher to see what I had left towards the last 50 or so as I would have missed 1-2 in a certain area and didn't realize it. And I had to follow a video for Hyrule Castle as you couldn't leave markers on the inside. But I did it. I didn't think that would have been a task I wanted to complete, but once I started, I kept going. 

Funny story about the last seed. It was one of those where you had to match the fruit hanging off of 3 trees. I accidentally shot the one off I needed so I had to wait for it to grow back. I put the Traveler's Pass in front of it so it would be easy to get to. After many hours, that specific apple did not grow back. All the others around it did. I looked up how to make the blood moon come out and how long it takes for stuff to generally grow back, but the apple still did not appear. It was 24 hours later (not in game) that I thought to actually remove the teleporter in case it was interfering...and it was. I basically locked that apple out from regrowing all because I wanted to make it easier for myself to get back to that specific spot. There was a shrine seconds away, ha.  
 


========================= 

- Getting creative with the latest string of videos that will be released (1 per month). July's video was a product of having pets come to work. Thanks, Sophie (07.02). 
 

- Had our usual monthly meeting (07.05). The one different thing we did was actually go out to eat. Les Baget is small so we actually had too many people to find a seat. Luckily people were leaving and we had enough seats even though we were split up. They were very accommodating. And we made friends with a family that was interested in coming to HER. PS: We are now posting the images on Twitter instead of just linking via Instagram. 
 

- Not only are we being more creative on the YouTube side of business, but we are doing so on Instagram. This month, we inserted the Agents into popular summer movies. We had one a week and they were received well. Going to try something different next month. All our created by Agent Ocean.  
 

- Thanks to Agent PQ, we have new templates for certain social media posts (07.12). This includes one for our Leaderboard, Hunks of HER, Throwback Thursdays, and Record Breakers. Looking good. 
 

- We have a new trainee (07.19). She edged out another recent interviewee.  

- This has happened once or twice in the past, but I left my glasses at home (07.25). I didn't get a headache like I normally do, but my eyes felt really hot. It was as if I was concentrating too hard and they overheated. I think if we actually had a lot of sessions that I was a part of that day, it wouldn't have been so bad, but I spent a lot of time doing work on a laptop.   

- And this month's blog post brought on a first. Agent Voxel wrote last year's blog for July 2016 and here he is writing the blog for July 2017. 
 

========================= 

- Red Velvet - Red Flavor (MV) 

Took me a while to like the song, but I like it. The whole album is decent. 


- And that will be all for July. Despite not a lot to recap on, it went by fast. Thank you for reading. Be healthy, safe, thankful, and loved.

June 2017 Entry

June 2017 Entry

Summer time. It is hot outside. 

========================= 

- Starburst Gummies Sour are delicious (06.05). Right amount of gummie and sour.  

 

- Just so I can remember the date (06.06). 

- SNSD's Phantasia concert was a fun watch (06.14, 06.19). It had been a while since I watched hours of SNSD content and it was good. 
 
 

- Got a boot on my car during work (06.14). 2 boots, ha. I wasn't mad about it, it was justified. We've been told for years that we have to clear the lot or pay the event fee when events happen at Minute Maid Park. I had been ignoring the warning and just pressed my luck. So paying the $140 for removing the boots was fine. I didn't do the math, but I'm sure it was still less than paying for all the parking. Luckily the guy was in the area to remove it within 15-20 minutes. Normally they are not available by the time I got out of work. But I join the Boot Club at work by being the 3rd person within weeks to get a boot. I've been good about parking now and everyone at work is more so than before. 
 
 

========================= 

- Beat Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers with all the characters (06.04). Took a break from it before beating the 2v1 mode with every character. And after another break, I beat the game with all the characters again, but winning each match with a super move. Basically I was attempting to unlock more of the titles. There are more, but they are tougher to get even on the easiest difficulty. 
 
 

- E3 2017 had some great moments and reveals (06.12). Ubisoft had one of the better press conferences especially with the reveal of Mario + Rabbids Battle Kingdom and the trailer for Beyond Good & Evil 2. The only thing that caught my eye from Sony was the Shadow of the Colossus remake. 

There was plenty from Nintendo that I like. If you know me, I am a Nintendo guy. The Pokemon RPG for the Switch might be what gets me back in the series. Metroid Prime 4 was announced. Seconds in, I knew it was Metroid. Excited for it. BotW Champions amiibo were announced. Along with the crazy Super Mario Odyssey trailer (man, that's going to be a fun game), 3 amiibo were announced for the game also. After the E3 Direct, they announced Metroid: Samus Returns for the 3DS as well amiibo for it too. Mario & Luigi Super Star Saga + Bowser's Minions and their amiibo were shown off too. 

The day after, I went to Gamestop to reserve those last 2 3DS games as well as a total of 13 amiibo. 

 
 
- Speaking of amiibo, the 3 new Link amiibo came out (06.25). I was able to reserve the Majora's Mask one from Best Buy and Twilight Princess from Gamestop. I wasn't able to reserve Skyward Sword from Amazon though. However, that became available the day of release to order and I ordered mine right away. 
 
 

- Nintendo wasn't done for the month. They also announced the SNES Classic (06.26). Unlike the NES Classic, I will be getting this day one. The SNES is my favorite console of all time and the games they included are great (played all of the games except for 2). And Star Fox 2 will be officially released on it. That is crazy. 
 
 

- The Breath of the Wild DLC came out (06.30). The new inclusions are neat, but the main thing I can do is the Trial of the Sword. That is challenging. It took a while for me to even get passed the Beginner level. To this date (07.09), I made it to the Final trials, but have not beaten it yet. 
 
 

========================= 

- Trained 3 different staff members and did facilitated all 4 of our escape rooms in one day (06.02). I was tired for my last session. Even mentioned it to the team I was with that I was low on energy. Thankfully they were a cool group.  

- We posted a "Vlog" (06.02). It was footage from our 3rd Year Anniversary. Thought to just go off the rails and do all the typical things vloggers had done in the past. Even the editing "mistakes" were done on purpose. And the descriptions and postings were definitely done in a way I normally would not type. Everyone enjoyed it. 
 
 

- Another company meeting (06.06). It was also Agent Widdershins last one with us before going on sabbatical. 


- Ever since letting loose with the Street Fighter graphic and our Vlog, I have been coming up with more crazy post ideas. I took a shot at the Transformers movie poster (06.21). Of course my skills are limited, so I did task another Agent for future film posts. 
 

- We had "bring your pet to work week" occur (06.21-28). It was great to have some dogs around. The customers enjoyed them too. 
 

- Since we had time and didn't have much to do, Agent Blue and I had an impromptu Facebook Live where we played Newton (06.27). It is basically Connect 5 with a few other extra rules. Easy to get into and fun to play. 
 

- And this month's Blog was written by Agent Ca$h. 
 

========================= 

- I have been using dating apps for over a year now. After trying over 10 different kinds over time (currently still using 5), I have only had one date. It's...frustrating. There are too many fake accounts and no replies in general. The ones I still currently use, it's more like I keep them to pass the time and (sometimes) look at photos of good looking girls. I really don't know what to do now.  

- With Girls' Generation 10th Anniversary album announced, it was difficult for me to not think of how they should do their next concert. I just wanted to put it out there. I also had actual goosebumps the time I thought this up. And in a style of What Culture, in my head I booked "How SNSD Should Reintroduce Jessica." 

A month after announcing the concert date and venue, Jessica will casually announce going overseas around the time of the concert for a photo shoot. This would squash any expectations of her being at the concert at all. To help with this, she needs to go overseas "twice." The first time is to really take photos and say that she is coming back around the time of the concert. But when she's there, she will take photos for two separate shoots and only release photos of the first one in real time. The second ones will be released around the time of the concert. She also needs to post a couple photos the day of the concert for fans to think she is overseas. 

When the concert actually happens, it should carry on as another concert, but the first third needs to be only songs produced with the 8 of them. Open with "Party." The second third of the concert should highlight solo activities, but including other members in them. The monitors will show a slot machine pairing the girls together. Once a pair is made, hearts will float around them and they will come out and perform. That way there is a breather between each act. TaeYeon starts and performs "Why" with Sunny singing some parts and dancing along (Dandyu). Next is HyoYeon performing "Wannabe" with Yuri dancing and doing the rap part (best dancers). After her is SeoHyun performing "Don't Say No" with Yoona (youngest members). And the last solo performance will be Tiffany performing "I Just Wanna Dance" with SooYoung (best legs). 

After the last pair perform, the venue will go dark except the large screens. The slot machine will continue to roll again and end with hearts. Then hearts will then spill out like coins on screen along with sounds of a slot machine winning. Eventually, one heart large pink heart will appear on screen and stay there for a while. Faintly, the chords at the beginning of Jessica's "Fly" will begin to play. Those chords will continue to play and get louder along with the cheers of the crowd. Then a single spotlight will appear in the center of the stage. A few seconds later, Jessica will rise from the stage. After half of minute of the fans going nuts, she performs "Fly" (minus the rap part) with her background dancers. 

Once she finishes, the dancers go back stage and Jessica is left alone with the stage lit up and the fans cheering and chanting. Tears fall before she addresses the crowd and thanks them for continuing to support her and for not forgetting her. After a minute passes by, the rest of the members come out on stage and hug her as a group (expect tears). HyoYeon breaks the emotional moment by joking and saying "you're really late, Jessica." 

The last third of the concert should be performances of songs with all 9. It can be their main hits. I only request they open with "Mr. Mr.," which is the last song they promoted together as 9. And it would be nice of they performed songs they never did before like "Trick" and "Echo." End the concert with the new version of "Into The New World," but with Jessica included.    

- HyoYeon - Wannabe (MV) 

 

This is such a fun song. I definitely like it more than her first solo song. The song is good and the choreography, while simple looking, is very polished and pleasing. 

 

- TWICE - TT (Japanese MV) 

 

Like any other singer, I prefer their songs in the original language it was done in. It's good to read that they are having success in Japan. 

- BoA - CAMO (MV) 

 

So good. I continue to love this woman. 

- That's all for June. That month went by fast. Thank you for reading. Be healthy, safe, thankful, and loved.
