Not to alienate 별자리 청취자 여러분, but four months after wrapping up Season Heartbreak in Korean and English I have decided to upload a Filipino version of this story. This is the final installment of Season Heartbreak. I'll be back to producing Korean and English ASMR episodes soon.

Thanks to all of you who have been enjoying all the past episodes that I have uploaded here. And I wish you all the best experiences you can have for the rest of the year.

You'll hear me whisper in Korean (again) soon :)

If you had trouble understanding last week's episode, worry not. Here's that same story but in English.

It took forever to release this second part of the story and it doesn't really make sense to keep you waiting.

If you listened to the beginning of Season Heartbreak last week and found it hard to understand it, worry not. The English version of that same story is now here.

Season Heartbreak begins today with the beginning of a love story (not).

To give you a taste of what the upcoming Season Heartbreak will feel like, here's a story adapted and translated from one of the episodes of "the stories i wish you heard" - a fellow BUNK Collective podcast.

This is an experiment I've always wanted to do since the beginning of this podcast. I tried my best but the audio is quite underwhelming haha Anyway, my only wish is that you also get a good night sleep tonight. Sweet dreams :)

Today, we're changing the tone a bit. The past weeks' episodes were all about me trying to comfort you all (and myself) because the world is already having too much of hustle culture and I thought we all deserve some slack. Although I'm still not going to ask you to try harder or force yourself to achieve your goals, today's theme is about aiming for 100% and giving your 100%. I think I gave my 100% in today's episode, so I hope you also listen 100% :) Only if you can! But most of all, I wish you all a restful night :)

Two weeks ago, I said completing something is more important than perfecting it. In today's episode, however, I'd like to remind you (and myself) that we don't have to force ourselves to finish things we don't really have to. We can stop midway and call it the end for whatever it is. The finish line is wherever you decide it to be

Do you consider yourself a perfectionist? As for me, I sometimes do and it really makes me feel terrible when I make mistakes. Despite this, I am training myself to have the mindset of pursuing completion first, embracing imperfection, and working towards improvement latter. To some, it might sound as a cliché, but I am certain there are people (like me) who needs to be reminded that most of the time done is better than perfect.

What if you lose the vigor to do the things you are doing right now? What if you're too close to getting burnt out? Is it okay to rest and stop for a while? I encourage you to allow yourself to take a breather. And when you do, remember that whenever you're ready, you can always start again.

Nowadays we easily get stressed from all the places you can think of. What do you do when you encounter situations that are frustrating? Or when unfavorable events happen, how do you conduct yourself? In the past, I'd also easily get frustrated. But there's one thing I didn't expect I'd get from a Korean drama - a way to make myself at ease and be present in the moment. Perhaps, you'll also find it useful.

You've waited long for this come back and so did I. I believe it's worth the wait. Here's to more stories and more words of encouragement, inspiration, and wisdom to all of us! I'm looking forward to a much longer and a more meaningful journey with all of you. But first, let's all identify ourselves as the heroes of our own lives.

안녕하세요!!! Some of you might be wondering and are worried why you haven't heard from me for about two months now so I decided to record this 안부 인사 to assure you that I'm still alive and that this podcast will return to its regular programming with a new direction. Thank you for your patience and you'll hear from me again SOON.

I have been running this podcast for 64 weeks now without getting a break. I'll be taking the next three weeks off and I'll see you again in November.

How is the podcast doing? How I'm doing? How you're doing? That's what this episode is all about. Here's my monthly check-in. Today is a wonderful day for so many different reasons. I hope you're having a blast as well. Now, if you look at the window and it's dark, it's time for you to rest up. Good night and sweet dreams ^^

The past three episodes were mostly about my past travels. Today, I just thought I'd share where I'd like to go once it's safe to travel and travel restrictions are lifted. I have two places in mind. What about you? Anyway, I wish you all a good night and hopefully we can all travel to all our favorite places in our dreams. ^^

What non-touristy things have you done during your travels? In this episode, I'll share you a few of that and a bit more about other things. But for now, goodnight and sweet dreams ^^ P.S. If you're listening to this and you're not seeing an episode artwork, it's because I haven't made it yet. I'll upload it this weekend ;)

Last week's story was about my first travel abroad and how it changed my perspective about traveling. Tonight's episode is also about travel, but to a different location and with different sets of people. It's a short story highlighting two stories that I still treasure to this very day. Good night and sweet dreams! ^^

I really miss traveling and meeting people. Though a lot of countries are now slowly opening their borders, some of us are still unable to travel. So for the remaining Thursdays of September, I decided to go back to some of my travel memories. For this episode, my voice got really hoarse because I spoke a lot before my recording schedule. I hope you don't mind my hoarse voice and just let me lull you to sleep. Good night and sweet dreams ^^

Early this week, I just had an idea to make the first episode of every month be a check-in episode. It's where I tell you what's going on with the podcast and what's going on with me. If there are stories from listeners, I'll also make sure to share them here. But today there are none, so it's all about what I'm up to these days. Listen and I hope y'all have a good night and wonderful dreams ^^

It's the final Thursday of the month and this is also the last rainy day story I am sharing with you. What could this story be about? If the episode art doesn't give it away, I don't know what does. Anyway, I'd still be looking for inspiration on what to talk about next month. Let me know if you have suggestions. But for the mean time, good night and sweet dreams ^^

Have you ever been drenched in the rain while away from home? I did. It was bad. And there are worse things that happened, but I still smiled at the end of the day because... reasons. Find out more by listening to this episode. And as usual, good night and sweet dreams!

I always wake up early when it rains and there's a reason for that. Let me tell you. But first, how are you liking the podcast? Do you like the sound of rain? Let me know what you think by sending me messages wherever LOL And for now, good night and sweet dreams!

It's the beginning of Year 2 for this podcast! Yay! Also, the rainy season has come and I thought it would be nice to share some personal stories I have which are either related to rain or just the idea of rain. Here's the first story about my favorite rain "thing". I'm sure you have your favorite rain "things". Tell us about it, too. But for now, good night and sweet dreams!

If you found my "walk" story last week as something interesting, I'd try to keep your interest in this next story. This is the longest unintentional walk I have ever experienced. Do I want to experience it again? No, but I am somehow glad that I experienced it. Need I say more? Just listen. And then get some sleep. You deserve it. Good night and sweet dreams ^^

I was originally thinking of sharing about the longest walk I've ever had, but then I changed my mind while preparing for this episode. I decided I'd just share about some of my most memorable walks ever. This ain't a romantic walk or anything, but it's memorable. I'd probably share more walk stories probably in the next two weeks. Good night and sweet dreams ^^

I have always loved singing because... Well, you have to listen to this episode for you to find out about that. Also, I'll let you know what my favorite music genre is toward the end of the episode. So don't dose off until you reach the end. Good night and sweet dreams ^^

It has been raining a lot in the past few days so I thought I'd talk about the clouds in the sky. Tonight's story is not about the weather or the undeniable beauty of the clouds in the sky, but rather some recent significant changes about my perception about them. I'm not trying to be too deep tonight, but this is something best shared before we sleep. Good night and sweet dreams! ;)

It's not a weird time to bring up Pokémon, is it? I don't know, I just thought of those cute pocket monsters while preparing for this week's episode. So, I'll let you in on a secret. I'll tell you my favorite Pokémon of all and my favorite starter.

I have been practicing meditation for quite a while now and in the past few weeks I have noticed a recurring theme - impermanence. And I thought I'd share a few things about impermanence with you. Before you sleep, remember to embrace whatever changes are occurring to you or are happening around you. Embrace yourself or someone you love tonight. Good night!

Did I tell you that there was a time when I was so fascinated with poetry I only mostly read poetry books for months? No? Well, I am telling you now. I love poetry. I write poetry. I am poetry. For now, listen and I hope you'll have a restful sleep :) Good night :)))

The idea of solitude just crossed my mind when I talked to a friend about lone superheroes during the weekend. Focusing on the word solitude, here are my thoughts and some more info about me. I'd be interested to hear your stories too, send in your story via email or via DM on Twitter and I'll share them in Korean in future episodes.

Tonight's episode is called silence, but don't worry I won't be silent throughout the entire episode. I'll just speak softly about some of my musings regarding the idea of silence. There's also a very short story about one experience I had many years ago. It's also about silence :) I hope you all have a peaceful and relaxing evening ^^ Good night and sweet dreams :)))
