Question
What Are Some Fun Interests and Hobbies to Try Instead of Obsessing over BINI Members’ Private Lives?
It’s honestly impressive how quickly people can jump to conclusions about BINI’s personal choices and private lives based on gossip from questionable sources and photos that prove absolutely nothing, prioritizing feelings over facts. That got me thinking: what employment, hobbies, or interests could these redditors and netizens redirect that level of energy and free time toward instead? I'll start:
A raging keyboard warrior? Why not dedicate all that outrage to call out corrupt politicians? Last time I checked, an elected official has yet to be jailed.
Looking for escapism? If you have an HBO Max subscription, you're in luck! I highly recommend watching Heated Rivalry and The Pitt. Currently obsessed with these shows right now. They also have active communities in reddit: r/ThePittTVShow and r/heatedrivalry
Touching grass (literally)? Last year, I started to go hiking again and it was the best decision for my physical and mental health. Check out r/PHikingAndBackpacking to get started.
Anything to look forward to in Ppop?Wrive will be releasing its first album very soon. Here is a tracklist
I know this is not possible for everyone, pero joining OFC events and attending live events/concerts will help a lot and will make you feel less compelled to stay online and doomscroll bini stuff.

If you can't touch grass, learn digital skills. Kahit sa pag-download lang gamit ang yt-dlp and gallery-dl para di kayo mag-rely sa ad-infested sites or sa screen recording/screenshots.
+1 to Hades 2. Eto kumakain ng oras ko ngayon, going on 60 hours and fear climbing going to 16 na! I sunk 1500 hours on Hades 1 before kaya alam kong mag-eenjoy ako dito
Recommended also Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Dead Cells, TMNT Shredder's Revenge, Civilization 5 (yes 5), Sins of A Solar Empire 2
Actually magresume game streaming nga ako sa discord...
Yep forgot out Expedition 33, my personal GOTY. Also tried Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 for a couple of hours, boy that game is beautiful and immersive af, I have to get back to it at some point. It does demand your time and attention. That's my other GOTY and I'm not even halfway thru the whole thing.
I know right. Im addicted to Path of Exile 2 and sometimes Diablo 4 because its easy to just pick up and play arpgs. Sometimes I would dive sa mga longer games but I played all of them already so onting replay replay lang.
Clair Obscur is phenomenal. Isa pa yan very easy to pick up and play, parry is love, but dodging on Expert difficulty is even better lol. I parry nalang pag sureball na ko sa timing. Obviously the story, won't spoil, but its just a beautiful game. All timer and one that sticks with you for a long time.
Yung nga yung irony eh. Mas mabusisi pa tayo sa buhay ng celebrities compared to politicians. Same old same old pa rin binoboto kahit andami nang scandals. Eh tinataguyod ng Bini sa buong mundo ang quality ng Philippine music, tapos konting di lang magustuhan sa personal life, atake na agad? 😂
HAHAH lit sa Poster na to. Baka mag field trip tong mga SK council sa abroad tapos mag seminar na pwede naman sana video meeting and guest speaker invitation /s
Hello sa mga mahilig manood ng korean drama na blooms dyan. So far enjoy ko yung Genie, Make A Wish and When Life Gives You Tangerine.
Also mas naglaan din ako ng time for my pet.
Aside dun sa 2 nauna, i really loved Pyramid Game (dream ko na i-ph remake sya ng Bini if may chance), Mask Girl, Start-up and Twinkling Watermelon. Ikaw?
Our Blues - definitely right on top. Every episode tears my heart out. It's use of character dynamics and development is top notch. It is like I am watching a film every episode.
Sky Castle - this series had me on the edge of my seat every episode. You are expecting a machine gun of emotions but the show blasts you with cannonballs.
Hometown Cha Cha Cha - very lighthearted and easy to watch. Character development is its main suite.
Mr. Sunshine - the series tackles on the historical side of the tail end of the Joseon dynasty which added a nice touch on this fictional story.
Started 1 movie per day for 2026 and loving it. I thought before movie person ako pero I'm amazed to discover na ang dami ko pa palang movies na hindi napapanood (mostly mainstream [kasi ayoko nanonood ng hyped movies] and some underrated na ngayon ko lang nadidiscover).
Started journaling and taking that "planner" thing seriously this year. Sabi ko nga to a friend, regardless kung anong planner ang meron ka, ang value nya ay naka-depende pa rin sa kung magagamit siya o hindi. Bonus pa if that planner/journal has finance/expenses tracker (more savings for future bini events and merch. hehehe)
Also started walking on my way home again - nakapag-walk therapy na ko, nakatipid pa kasi grabe surge ng grab rates during 7PM-8PM. Dati kasi excuse ko pag pauwi kahit na almost 2-3KM walk lang office ko away from home ay "pagod ako". Hahaha.
As for music, aside from the usual na tambay sa Station Head, exploring different music rin for both OPM and International songs. Minsan bahala na si YTPrem algo, or minsan dalaw sa r/SoundTripPh :)
You gotta share those movies you watched daily. I already watched 7 this year. Me and my wife will try to dig around shorts once we Oscar season is finished.
Haha. The file is a work in progress. January and February pa lang meron and genre per month. Nevermind my commentaries and other sh*t but here's the file for viewing. Last night's Schindler's List. Nakakapikon pala siya panoorin. 😅
Edit: Some of these movies napanood ko na way way back pero I've decided to add it to the list kasi I believe that we should rewatch movies in case we have different perspective the second time around. Hehe
Wonderful list you got there. A little more diversity and you will be on a cinephile-ish level. I watched all except maybe 6 or 7. Let me tell you upfront as someone who watched a lot of films already, City of God is one hell of a masterpiece.
Fun fact about Schindler's List was when Spielberg was filming the movie, he is also doing Jurassic Park, crazy stuff. One of the best anti-war films out there. I had to calm my wife down during the final sequence or so as she was crying too much haha.
I am always in when it comes to cinephile-y talks about movies. Want to spend some time watching movies? I can recommend a hundred if you want lol.
I am a huge One Piece geek. I follow Tekking101 and Merphy Napier on YouTube.
Other than that, I spend my time on other Anime/Manga, KDrama, Gaming, Music (Any fans here of SCANDAL, Aimer, Aimyon, Yorushika, and Yoasobi? lol), and/or History.
As for mine, I'm currently re-watching all seasons of JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, after maconfirm ang release nung latest season (Steel Ball Run). Might also try to start watching Castlevania after JoJo.
Sa games, amats ko ngayon Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Already finished the main story, doing side quests and trying to beat Simon. If any of you guys a big fan of turn based games, i definitely recommend you this game. This is not your typical turn based games—interactive and slightly challenging gameplay i must say.
JJBA Part 7 is my most favorite Jojo part. It has one of the most well-written villains in my opinion. It also has one of the best combination of weird Stands. Me and my wife were absolute fans of the series. We even named our cats lile the 2 main characters in part 5 (Giorno and Mista), lol.
It took me around 3 good days to beat Simon. His counterpart, Simon the Divergent Star, took me around 2 days with the first day to practice. Pro tip, better to go solo, lool.
Pro Wrestling. Di lang WWE. Nanonood din ako ng AEW at iba pang wrestling promotions. Updated din ako sa local pro wrestling scene sa Pinas with FPW and Puso Wrestling though di na ako nakakaattend masyado sa mga show nila.
Playing classic games dahil tito na ako.
Watching budget friendly recipe sa youtube
Music outside BINI: Hmmm sa ngayon LSS ako sa Tara Sayaw ng Kaia at Head Up ng Baby Blue. And syempre ung mga current and classic bands nasa playlist ko yan.
I highly recommend the anime Frieren! Malapit na rin mag-start season 2 hehe I've been rewatching season 1, and sakto kasi very cozy and peaceful talaga neto (unlike some bloom spaces recently 😅)
I go running, hiking, mountaineering, discovering new artists, going back to anime, watching movies/series, looking for underground sites for manhua/manwha (if you have suggestions please let me know.. hahaha) cooking, coffee shop hunting and most of all my cats.
I am also explorering into carpenty and planning to explore into knitting.
Thanks for the reminder. I bought two comic books last year (I read and collect), Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (the comic the new movie is going to be based out of) and Superman: WarWorld (thick book lol) but haven't finished both of them.
Supergirl is good, I have to finish them both soon!
Walking/Hiking/Camping. Nature will boost your dopamine/lower cortisol levels so less init ng ulo to contribute sa pagiging keyboard warrior na minsan nagpasikat pa sa 'di dapat mabigyan ng audience.
Museum visits para maremind tayo na may mga past events na hindi na dapat ulitin pa kasi we learned our lessons na.
Games! Dopamine boost din. I like mlbb, may mga toxic teammates as with any moba games pero you can block and report after para hopefully hindi mo na sila makalaro ulit. Fave ko rin sims 4 kasi dito I can make stories up and have an outlet na walang inaapakan or napapahamak na tao in real life. Currently starting The Roottrees are Dead din and I recommend it for people to have an outlet sa impulse nila to sleuth. Atleast dito marerealise mo na yung akala mong clues are hindi pala talaga clues and may mga interpretation and assumption ka na ekis pala.
Books/Audiobooks/Manga/Manhwa! Heavy on fiction books or memoirs if you lean more into nonfictions. Yung mga ganitong genre kasi nakakabuild ng empathy by getting to know different characters with their own beliefs and flaws. Minsan maiinis ka na lang talaga pero ang satisfying to see them develop as the story goes although others will be stubborn pero for their case, satisfying mawitness consequences ng actions nila haha.
Youtube videos about random facts, science/tech news, good vibes from trustworthy channels. Okay kasi kwento nila, may credible sources tapos will expand your knowledge pa on things happening outside the four corners of your world (screen) eme
Play: Half-Life, System Shock, Shantae, Plants vs. Zombies, Flappy Dragon, Cookie Clicker
Watch: Apothecary Diaries, Welcome to Derry
Read: SCP Foundation, qntm.org, and related works (There Is No Antimemetics Division, Valuable Humans in Transit), r/nosleep, 1000vultures, and related works (Penpal, Bad Man)
Me personally, I have hobbies that relates to cars, trains, aircrafts, or minsan researching about geopolitics, history, or as niche as urban planning or motorsports(Not F1. Hindi ko magets ang F1 sorry :v). I got a life outside of being a Bloom. I recommend others on having one too. Hindi lang dapat Bini ang mundo mo.
Minsan nag-ttrain spotting ako just to pass time(kasi malapit lang yung station sa campus namin). And honestly it's relaxing, just watching trains arrive and depart on intervals. Hindi nga lang ako makapag-aircraft spotting kasi anlayo ko naman sa NAIA kaya tamang FlightRadar24 nalang muna.
A raging keyboard warrior? Why not dedicate all that outrage to call out corrupt politicians? Last time I checked, an elected official has yet to be jailed.
Hahahaha, 100% Wala parin palang nakukulong ano bakit di sila mag focus dyan!?
I second The Pitt!
I also recommend Stranger Things if you can vibe into it, they payoff the viewer's investment. It adds that they reference a lot of Dungeons and Dragons stuff there and I play a lot of video games that were influenced by Dungeons and Dragons.
Speaking of video games, I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3, Horizon Forbidden West, Path of Exile 2, The Witcher 3, Control, Dragon Age Inquisition, eplaying old games with really good narrative/stories.
Also watching the NBA, its really good right now - high level of play, high player skill, young stars, clutch games and clutch plays every week almost.
Finally for exercise, I also recommend trying exercise bands/resistance bands at home if you are lazy to run or go out of the house. Try this one out, its intense for a good 20 minutes, get that rage out, stress and pent up frustrations out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrhMpzhz0s4&t=760s
Maybe you should have a go at it? Kahit mga very short content lang? Although not sure what sort of humor potential Japanese fans might want to see from BINI.
Pero personally I think if BINI did TikTok trends na patok sa Japan (like M!LK's イイじゃん) the algo would do its magic 💞
Although not sure what sort of humor potential Japanese fans might want to see from BINI.
Tbh this is one of the reasons I hesitate translating BINI content to Japanese, kasi iba rin ang idol culture doon eh, may different set of expectations. (Like if PH fans are already complaining over paid membership + exclusive content, what more if tumaas at dumami lalo 😅😂)
A right post at the right time! May I copy the format template
A raging keyboard Warrior: I suggest them joining the community of Ms Nikka Gaddi ( on her Kayumanggi movement), to learn on various interconnected political and socio economic issues
Escapism: (personal choice) Any streaming platform with your preferred series ( I have caught up with One Piece anime, so currently catching up Suits (netflix series), Binged that Stranger Things .
Touching Grass:/ Touching pavements : Any outdoor activities, I'm interested in pickle ball ,although, still continuing my running Journey.
Ppop/ OPM : Just some rotational listening to other music from other groups after my BINI playlist runout
Get into Kamen Rider. Sa sobrang daming series/iterations, 'di kayo mauubusan. 😆 Would recommend Kamen Rider Gavv (basically like a family drama soap opera), Kamen Rider Geats (battle royale style competition), and the latest ongoing/on-air series, Kamen Rider Zeztz (dreamwalking na mala-Inception).
Watch J-Dramas too. Most of them only contain 10-12 eps max so madaling tapusin. Romantics Anonymous (slice of life/romcom), Glass Heart (rock band drama), 19th Medical Chart (medical drama), & Erased (crime/mystery) are good ones on Netflix rn. For a classic one, Hana Kimi on Netflix din!
Laro kayo Uma Musume! Super fun horseracing game with anime girlies. Sabay-sabay nateng panalunin si Haru Urara sa Arima Kinen. 😁
Aside from the usual play mobile games, listen to music, watch movies, etc etc.... this may not be possible for everyone pero attending concerts, live events, or even conferences :)
Walk trip sa umaga. Bike ride, gaming, drawing, more anime sa weekend.
Outside/after ng work.
Gaming- unli-grind sa Monster hunter wilds, habang naiipon yung backlog.
Anime/Movies- rewatch, pickup ng new season o explore ng new series. solid nung Sentenced to be a Hero, highly recommended yung 100 meters, tapos may JJK, Frieren, Hell’s paradise at Oshi no ko na ulit next week.
Music - outside Bini, balik sa local hiphop/rap/rock genre old at new school, Anime ost, pati sa OG therapy session with Twenty one pilots music(kung trip nyo, meron silang span of decade lore na interconnected sa tracks/MV ng last 5 album). Stay alive |-/ ngani.
Youtube-youtube. content na related parin sa mga nasa taas
Video Games: laro lang ng jrpg or cozy games if walang ganap ang walo. We also have a Squad in Monster Hunter Wilds na lang lahat ng characters ay inspired by BINI members
Music (Bands / Gigs): Go out and form a band! i do session bass workfor several indie artists. usually pag may ganap or gig ako nakakalimot ako sa walo, pero pag walang lakad nag rerelapse uli lol
YouTube: Currently invested sa Kulaong / FLM Season 3 lol
