KTM Episode 41 - Fake it 'til you make it
Unknown to many, we three are introverts! But of course with our jobs that require us to be extra social 90% of the time, how do we cope? This week we talk about how we've adapted... or "faked" our way to perform in our roles.
How about you, what things have you faked to succeed in something? Is it a good thing to "fake" skills, responses, or attitudes? Share your thoughts with us!:)

KTM Episode 40 - KTM meets the ultimate fan girl (Feat. Celest Flores)
We invited the biggest fangirl we've ever met! In this episode, our dear friend and Inquirer sportswriter Celest Flores shares with us her adventures and her long history of fangirling (from local music artists and student-athletes, to her "true love" today—Exo's Chan-yeol). Celest also gave the girls an interesting quick course on the terminologies and the things that make Kpop Idols different from artists and celebrities. When do you stop being a fan of someone? What do you feel about artists who have different personas on and off the cam/stage? Share us your insights!:)

KTM Episode 37 - When F.R.I.E.N.D.S fall out
In friendships, we win some, and then we lose some along the way. With the recent airing of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S reunion, this episode recounts how our friendships evolved over the years—how some fell apart and how we managed to keep really good ones.
We also share how we express our "tampo" to our friends and of course give tips on how we can make amends.
How about you, how do you mend tampo between you and your best friends? Send us a message :)

KTM Episode 35 - The curious mars
Curious Mars is back! We received a variety of very deep questions this week, like why is Lian single? And what will happen if we eat ourselves? This episode also contains good dissections of what will happen to us if technology and internet were to be taken away for a day, what people might find weird in our homes, and how we are emoting to Taylor Swift's new tracks from the vault. On more serious levels, we also talked about mob mentality, mental wellness related to applying for a job in the pandemic, and well, the perfect romantic scenarios in Lian's head, which is of course the reason why she's single. Got more questions?

We concluded that our puppy loves truly brought us to where we are today so we really are grateful. And like Lian, quoting one of our favorite philosophers, we say: "You made me stronger by breaking my heart." (R. Velasquez, 1995) 👌

KTM Episode 27 - How to be sosyal? (feat. Carol Malasig of Almost Diplomatic)
With our 2021 intentions of going out and about (fingers are crossed on this one), we also asked her to walk us through how to be 'sosyal' in terms of clothing and demeanor. This episode revealed some of Lian's hiccups covering the more 'premium' beats. We had a great time in this episode and we hope finally, we'd be able to use these lessons in real life (aka the world outside the Internet).
