nothing deep or profound to say except social media is exhausting.

Woah, what an eventful of month did we had last month! We had some beautiful wins, some crazy crashes and also some news that at first were shocking but now...maybe they could be real? Well for now we are unsure about that as secrets are meant to be secrets but we're sure we'll find out those secrets soon enough. But for now that's enough of my talking, let's hear some words about the drivers themselves and their favorite moment from this month!

Christopher: Personally my favorite weekend was Imola and my win there haha! Unfortunately our cars haven't been too good in the last few races but that Imola win was definitely something i'll forever remember. I also would like to mention how amazing San did there, he almost catched me. Almost~

San: As for my happiest moment i'd say it was the Miami GP. Can you belive that i got my first win in this season so soon? Because i can't. I am still in disbelief that it happened but i know that from now on our team will definitely do better than before.

Hongjoong: My favorite moment was also definitely my own win in Monaco. I belive it's everyone's dream to be able to win in Monaco and the fact that i did it in a Ferrari makes me feel so much happier and prouder. I do have to say a big thank you to the team though, without them this car wouldn't move anywhere. So thank you to them, and of course a huge thank you to all our fans as well!

Yunho: Personally my favorite moment was just spending some free time in Monaco, it's a beautiful place. My P5 was also a good result as i had to do 77 laps on mediums but i feel like for next race we'll need some add ons or something to make the race more fun.

Jeongin: As for myself my favorite moment was in Imola as well. It was amazing to put the car in P9 and to be in the points too. I hope the car will only start to get better from now and well, let's see each other on this weeks GP!

Yoohyeon: Here we go, an other happy memory from Monaco. Can you belive that we got the first points of the season finally? Unfortunately the car is still not that great, but i see the hope for us now, and i feel much more excited about the races!

(Side note: If you have any questions feel free to ask Admin or one of the drivers through the reblogs or asks!)

Music May #4: EXO-CBX - Blooming Day (Throwback Thursday #3) release: April 2018 genre: Kpop

Thursday means another throwback, but this time we're only going as far back as 2018. And continuing the trend of Kpop despite having so many other options (so many), because I have the attention span of a small goldfish right now and EXO is a relatively easy group for me to write up. :p

Debuting in 2016, CBX combined Chen and Xiumin (originally of EXO-M) and Baekhyun (originally of EXO-K) and started as a way of combining the two halves of EXO in a smaller unit that produced music in the same overall vein as the main group while also making first forays into the Japanese market with Japanese-language releases starting in 2017. So a mix of ballads and dance-pop, since this is a subunit with two of the 4 original EXO main vocals, and a chance for Xiumin to shine a bit more.

As a song, Blooming Day is a sweet ballad with a question guaranteed to make fangirls swoon: can I be your boyfriend? It's a fun up-tempo dance beat with love song lyrics and considering who sings it, a perennial favorite. The image of the song is softer than previous EXO releases with a the members in very "boyfriend" styles throughout both the MV and the promotional period. An overabundance of flowers and softer colors on the sets further contribute to that almost cozy feel in the music video, with Baekhyun in particular looking very soft and fluffy throughout.

I don't normally bring up covers in these, but if you feel like you've heard this song again recently, it probably means you wartched the start of the new season of The Show, in which new MCs Xiaojun (NCT/WayV) and Hyeongseop (Tempest) joined returning MC Yeosang (ATEEZ) in forming special unit MC NAEggUZ (yes, this is a visual pun) for a special stage, which is actually a splice of at least two of the three times they performed it - a stylist put too much faith in just rolling Yeosang's sleeves in one run, so his left sleeve Does A Thing where the cuff slips and at one point falls out completely, yet is magically back (and then not and then back again) across several camera cuts. Which, uh, maybe says something about how many times I've watched this performance now, but the song's such a warm bop and I've needed that especially lately.

"Blooming Day" is the lead track off EXO-CBX's second mini album, Blooming Days, which may or may not be in stock wherever you typically buy these things if you're looking for physical copies, but certainly is up for digital purchase and streaming.

OK 2ND PART YAYAYAYAYA my biases from these groups are namjoon + yoongi , taehyun + beomgyu , sunghoon + jungwon & hongjoong + san!! from the other groups it's eunchae + maybe sakura / chaewon (not sure yet!) , hoshi + hao + cheol + gyu + shua (THE LOMLS <3) & chenle + renjun + yuta + taeyong + xiaojun for nct 😇😇😇

i also really like the boyz , p1harmony , newjeans + other groups & soloists + krnb

i only have 1 friend who's into kpop because here they are lets say.. v closed off and narrow-minded so they are more the type to make fun of u or directly judge it without even having heard a single song (ive experienced it firsthand MULTIPLE times & almost everytime received a judgy comment when they found out i liked kpop 😑) NOT THAT I CARE BUT STILL ! it would be really fun to make pcs of each & listen to kpop tgt ngl but it's ok since i got my one closest friend who's also a kpop fan so we can talk about our groups, cbs, pcs and kpop news and buy albums tgt 😁 we were even supposed to go try and see ateez last year + this year but BOTH times it was exam season so we couldn't but she likes svt so much now she said she would accompany me if they go on europe tour 😝

omg should i watch it if i can ...... that sounds genuinely so cool 😭 imo art is so so cool i love it sm but as much as i would like to and admire it, i am not too much of an art gal except for writing. i did draw a bit when i was young and even got a drawing tablet & i love watching dance videos but writing is my thing yk so i just do that and have been for years hihihi

BUT i do get what u mean because it's difficult to turn those things into jobs yk like u have to be really really good at it and even then it's still difficult. WHAT ARE U GONNA STUDY because ur not into stem apparently and much more into arts obviously

don't flatter me too much hehe 😚 nekoma <33 always a soft spot for them ngl i think in general i had a huge thing for captains ... HELLO WE KINDA HAVE THE SAME FAV LIST :O i haven't watched s4 yet because im trying to collect the manga but yes i heard the animation was a but eh . But that the matches were v interesting like i saw so many tiktoks about the inarizaki game & it looked so so cool i wanna watch it so bad i swearrr I NEED TO REWATCH IT I STOPPED BEFORE THE TRAINING CAMP

omg the amount of overlap in biases that we have,,, im vv much jin, taehyun + beomgyu, sunghoon + jungwon, eunchae, jeonghan + dino + dokyeom, yuta + johnny + mark + chenle + ten + hendery biased :DD and potentially yeosang bc he’s so ?? pretty ?? AND AAGH TBZ !! i love kevin omfg ++ soul from p1h && haerin n hanni from newjeans :D ugh all of the newjeans members r so <3 tbh

and ugh so sorry to hear that !!! tbh i think it’s bc i live in a predominantly asian town so i think people around me r a lot more receptive to kpop,, but so glad u have a close friend u can share the joy w :DDD && vv much hope svt goes on a europe tour for u guys !!!!

yesyes !! u should def watch it !! the set is on youtube && it’s like 6 mins long so it won’t take too much time out of ur day :D and i’ve applied to most unis as a creative writing/english literature major !! but i’d hope to minor in media studies, linguistics, or fashion communications/styling/journalism !! it really just depends on which school i end up committing to && what they offer,, but im honestly so unsure abt my future so i want to explore diff options if possible :D what abt u ?

AND YESYES !! dori omg watching the rest of haikyuu imo is soso worth it,, like overall the series is just,, vv comforting && fun :D

[lee-minhoe]

mel my love hi !! i´m finally here to reply to your message! sorry it took me so long!!

first of all thanks so much for the support! i´m almost done with all my deadlines so yay!

and aaaah i totally get it noeasy is one of my face skz albums too! i just love those songs so much (star lost? my biggest love) and same!! i love their title tracks they're always so fun and hype! noise music our beloved <3

and omg that's so funny i totally get that! i actually had that with ateez. i remember first listening to pirate king and thinking ????? no. but then a couple of months (? sorry i have no sense of time) later i heard it again and was like ?????? yes. why did i ever hate this ashjdfsfhgjk.

aah i see! i hope you liked the title/album! and yes omg that's so fitting ahjkdf. your love for minho truly is the cutest :(

and ofc !! it had to be taste !!! but it's valid so i'll accept ahsdkg. i recently finally saw a vid of them performing it and !!! insanity.

as for which groups i like, we actually have a lot of groups in common! nct, svt and txt are also loves ! (pls dont ask me to pick biases im very bad at picking favorites ahfjdskhg) and omg day6!! in love with their music truly. i've listened to the rose and nflying and i've actually recently been getting into xheroes and p1h ! i adore kbands (and bands in general tbh) so much!

as for girlgroups, i actually listen to a lot of them as well ! i actually haven't really listened much to stayc but they seem so lovely ! my faves are probs itzy, le ssera, twice, red velvet, purple kiss and billlie? but i'm probably forgetting some agskdh. i actually love a lot of soloists as well but i'll stop here ahsdkf

and yes thanks so much for introducing me to his fancams !! it was so fun ! and ahfjkdhkjf he's insane i love him so. also i think i actually knew that cam!! and ugh so true he's so good it's sickening truly

as always wishing you a lovely day/night and !!!! merry merry christmas! i hope you have lovely holidays full of love and laughter and peace and ofc good food ! sending you all my love ! *hugs* - 🌻

okay but ateez…..their recent cb was really good like im still obsessed with cyberpunk, new world, etc lol im looking forward to the cb coming up!! idk much about them but i feel like ive absorbed some things through my moots 😂 i had the same thing with ateez too when i first got into kpop, i was like idk if this is for me either but now with nct and skz noise music i think my taste has changed LOL. it’s so interesting how our taste in art (not just music) can vary depending on the timing of when we come across it

the taste performance was crazy let’s not talk about that bc it makes me so unwell HAHAHA (aka lets talk about it bc i am so whipped for that man). lee know in that silk shirt ���🥴 how did u like skz replay?? omg and the danceracha stage for gayo daejejeon on new years eve, i cant wait for that 😁

i looove day6’s music too, i think their songs and lyrics have this feeing in them that idk how to explain but it’s relatable, and it also conveys a feeling of hope? i like rock sounds in general which i think is why i like kbands so much ^^ do u have any other fav kbands or bands besides the ones we already talked about? (also fine if u dont lol we listed a lot already)

ooh i listened to billie’s stuff recently and i liked it a lot, i also like their concept and even like the album/track titles! and they make a whole separate album thats a soundtrack for their actual album?? i think thats so cool

i hope you had a very merry xmas and are having a joyful holiday season 💕💕 im excited to find out who u are soon hehehe <33

[sf9]

good morning, miss Macy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I can't wait to be wrecked today 😊 (I'll come to scream about that later 👀😂). First, I wish you a wonderful day and want to thank you a lot about the SF9 content links, I'm going to watch them soon 😘💗💞 (and uni is over tomorrow, yayy 🎊🎉)

You have an immaculate music taste, my dear 🥴; I like Valkyrie so much, thank you for the recommendation 🥺💗; as for me, I'm not listening to many groups tbh, more like random, simply because there are too many groups and my head is just going to explode...; my ults. are monsta x and shinee 🥺(apart from SF9); I also like EXO, ATEEZ, Dreamcatcher, Mamamoo, Brown Eyed Girl, Pentagon, TVXQ, Shinhwa, Infinite, The Rose, Day6, Buzz, WJSN the black, FT Island, Onewe, dosii, lately I've been listening to a.c.e and there are more artists as well 🥺; as for soloists mx, shinee, exo and sf9 solo projects, woodz, chungha, sunmi, gemini, hwasa, woosung, there are more but nothing else comes into my mind now 😂

Summer heat is really the worst 😔 and you too drink lots of water!!!

"The spies who loved me" is really interesting, esp. if you like such themes. I checked "Mine" and I added it to my list 👀 the others also sound very interesting so I'll add them too 😂, thank you miss 🥰🥰🥰💗💕💕👄; goblin was the first drama I've watched and I loved it so much, I used to cry on every episode 😭😭😭 scarlet heart broke my heart a little but I also really enjoyed watching it 😔; I haven't watched many dramas but I recommend you "vagabond", I couldn't fall asleep until I watched all the episodes 👀also, the king:eternal monarch, the tale of a gumiho, touch your heart and W.Another one good is he is psychometric but I realized who the villain was early in the series and got a bit bored 😂 but still, it's very interesting. Hope you'll like some of them, once you start watching 🥺💞💞💞💞

Hope you eat something delicious today too 😚 I'm sending you lots and lots of bear hugs and forehead kisses (lmao, imagine it's Hwiyoung who places the kisses 😘😂) and stay safe, my dear 🥺💗💗💗💗💗💗and also, ramble as much as you want 💜💗💕🌷🌹 I'll come back later to scream about the medley 😌👄💕💗💗💗- your fantasy friend

HELLO MY SWEET FANTASY FRIEND 💖💖💖

I got your ask about the highlight medley, I'm gonna answer that separately :'D and you're welcome for the links, YAY FOR UNI BEING OVER SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoy watching it, sf9 variety stuff is a precious gem 🥺😂🎉🎉🎉

Thank you ;____; AHHHH I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT!!!!! There is definitely way too many groups XD and all the music is so good!!!! You can never stick to one group because all the music is so catchy and fun :") ahhhhh shinee!!!! They're also one of my faves 🥺🥺 I'm a super casual monbebe, I keep up with their cbs and I've been enjoying their recent one!! Also hold on while I just SCREAM OVER YOUR FAVE GROUPS 😭😭👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 a.c.e have really nice music, I really like the rock elements to their sound ;o; I'm really just yelling a LOT over all the groups and soloists you mentioned, woodz!!!!! Chungha!!!!! INFINITE!!!!!!!!! EXO!!!!!!!!!! I took a good few minutes to scream about this XD

Thank you for that!!!! Ooh I hope you enjoy Mine :'D Goblin also made me cry SO MUCH, it was one of the first kdramas I watched ((the first was Scarlet Heart,,,, and it ruined me T.T)) VAGABOND WAS AMAZING!!!! My sister recommended it to me and I loved it, I wish we would get a season 2 ;________; I've watched all the dramas you mentioned ((W TWO WORLDS WAS LOVELY I really love Lee Jongsuk 😭😭)) except for He is Psychometric, I saw Jinyoung and immediately added it to my watch list but I haven't gotten around to watching it 😭 I'll give it a try soon, thank you 🥺🥺💖💖💖

I did!!! And I hope you did too 🥺 SOBS YOU'RE THE SWEETEST 😭😭😭 I definitely imagined Hwiyoung AND you, the best of both worlds 🥺🎉🎉 ILY and I'm sending you all the hearts and more 🥺🥺💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[baekhvuns]

I read the spoiler and 🤗

I don't think I've seen Luhan in many dramas, but maybe I have 🤔 Ooooh you mean Youth With You? Lay was there, I started watching for Minghao. Then the 2nd season because Lisa and Xukun were there! I didn't follow the group from season 1 but I was into THE9 the girl group that debuted from season 2. Actually I see some resemblance between CXK and Sunghoon, Sunghoon is my son <3

Really, Suzy came out with Satellite and Stayc with Yung Luv - those songs were dream poppy, same with Loonatic by Loona. But we need more seriously, less ballads more soft vibey tracks wkhejeuudendj

Literally my brain is like "BRING THE BOYS OUT!!!" randomly lol. Pls I'll never forgive Pledis for disbanding Pristin they had so much potential, my villain origin story... Everglow forever let's go! I know people complain about their sound post La Di Da, but I love their titles tracks, same with Itzy.

Pixy had a come back with a song called Villain recently 👀 it's strange but so cool, I didn't expect it! One of the members - Lola is a huge Ateez fan and wants to collab with them <3

Heroine is sad, nostalgic and a banger at the same time! I liked Tail and YCSWU too, but I love their older songs more, Sunmi is having a cb soon though

Yes, for sore throat warm milk (🤮) and honey and sometimes...garlic? Idk even before going vegan I DESPISED WARM MILK. I like turmeric, but let's calm down... yikes

Omg the hairdresser put a curse on your hair 😭 my mother decided I should have short hair at some point, I was around 7 years old and I'm convinced it's one of the reasons for my hair problems now (maybe not but I'm gonna blame her anyway), because my hair was pretty straight and nice before. I don't mind waves and curls I like them, but my hair is so frizzy 😭

No I don't remember that Yunho one omg? Maybe I erased it from my memory 🤚🏻

Bestieeeeee look someone made him lego flowers 😭😍. Also I LOVE this Atiny my fucking hero lololol

Btw hair, I knew something was up with Hwa's and he confirmed he cut it slightly, I'm glad he likes it, he said it's similar to Answer era, but I dislike the mushroom style especially when they straighten his hair and cover the forehead dhsijdjsyehshs fluffy Hwa only </3 I was so mad at the Answer era styling... Seonghwa looks cute ofc, but I was so happy his har got longer, rip.

I watched 2 episodes so far and I enjoy it, it's messy and the FL is interesting, the actress is killing it. I can't say I 100% like her, because she's questionable, but I understand why she's this way. Not to spoil but her and In Yeop's characters have more history and ugh I like their chemistry and his character is a baby boy baby I need to protect, but I'm not sure how to feel about their upcoming romance ksudidjbdjsbsusis my guy is a simp.

Miss Baek what's up with the emotional quizzes hahahq, I got admiration and joy (joy when I'm legit decaying in my bed feeling pretty mehhh, well okkk) what did you get? - DV 💖

BESTIE IDK FBWKDHEJ

[fluffi]

so should i reply in tiny font or just regular font?

hybe should do better in spreading out the comebacks of the groups under them :/ they're already at a huge advantage, might as well use it strategically. AHA streaming mvs is so convenient for a multi. the filler vids i could use in between could be mvs from the other groups that i stan. also you know what, i still haven't watched a single final performance bc im waiting for a friend to watch with me :D

i have a chinese movie recommendation in case you want something to cry over. i still love its ost and it's been months since i watched it. i'm not sure if you watched it already but more than blue. i've never cried over a movie as much as i cried for that one. the angst *chef's kiss*. i'd do anything to wipe my memory of it and watch it again for the first time.

also sungchan is mc-ing in inkigayo every sunday! and honestly, what the hell is nct hollywood :D but a part of me thinks it's just going to be a bunch of asians living in america like johnny that'll be a part of it. just a hunch tho. imagine having all 4 units coming back in a year with like 1 unit per quarter of the year. i'm not sure if sm even has the money to do this, especially when they filed bankruptcy recently.

and i've seen a lot of twitter memes saying taro's ghosted stans T_T alexa play ghosting by txt T_T sm come on give him smth to do, you're wasting talent.

the mall didn't burn down entirely (like from the outside it looked fine). the ventilation system caught fire so it was more internal—ceilings and all that. covered things with soot(?) and ashes so the entire mall was closed for nearly 2 years. and hey, i've experienced a school fire too back when i was younger. i, too, thought it was nothing but a fire drill until i saw the charred remains of the buildings behind our school : D thankfully, no one died.

the new nct track is for a samsung commercial AHAHA it's funny because nearly everyone uses apple TT_TT and the mv screams neo culture tech tho (well as it should lmao). yes, i was talking about that part in hot sauce but yes, it grew on me too.

ateez really know how to do a performance. they put the standard so high for me when it came to performing. their facial expressions and overall stage presence just impresses me. it's been a while since i've seen idols draw me to them by those standards.

ah, the long stan list! good luck in getting through it and i hope you do have fun as you go :] (also you can check out aurora by ateez and whiplash by tbz. the songs popped up in my head as i was typing this reply, you might like them)

ohhhh, what was the pd48 scandal? i don't watch survival shows so i don't know any of the stuff going on. would you care to elaborate? about their disbandment :(( i hope you're okay now tho! are the other girls still debuting in new groups? anyone eyeing an acting career instead of being an idol?

YES, A PATTERN IN THE BIASES (if you count an analysis of two ppl as a pattern, that is.) because it's the same pattern i have for my biaswreckers :D jake & seungmin, not only do they have the same animal to represent them, they have the same 'golden retriever' type of personality that just makes you go all soft. ygwim ;n; i wish i could elaborate but both boys just devastate me in the same level and my friends pointed out that they were quite similar in some aspects.

jaemin used to send really long bbl messages :< like if there was anything he loved most it was nctzens and it was obv in his messages. speaking of dream, album repackage news today! idk what to feel bc my hot sauce albums haven't even arrived yet :D + i'm dead br0ke.

how do you even manage to read 30k TT__TT i cant handle long fics bc of my attention span :D also, yes, i found the user now, i'll check if i'll like their works soon. <33

YES YOU SHOULDVE BEEN THERE T_T what a day that was. i think seungmin is still sweet and active in bbl. not a single cent goes to waste with him. also i think i'll post the drabble some time this month.

and oml seungmin vs jake :o let's see how that goes O.O XDD

clickity-clackity AHAH do you have a mechanical keyboard? :c i wanted one too but i haven't got around to saving up for one. but yes indeed, typing asmr v relaxing \m/

sunny hyuck day, fullsun sunday, fullsunday T_T feels were very strong that day. i kept seeing edits on my twt tl and i would just s o b : D i've only stanned nct for a year but i've seen him grow so much i just wanted to crie i love him sm :') yk my mom didn't cook spaghetti for my birthday, but she cooked for hyuck's? : D

and i checked ur recs blog and indeed, full of nct T_T

also have i mentioned that your desktop thing amuses me so much HAHAH i got confused for a sec if i had twt opened or tumblr. plus, i've been wanting to mention that i noticed that our mobile themes are opposites. black and red, white and blue. it's cute XDD <3

help, people have been telling me that our asks are long but i highkey love it. i added a ‘keep reading’ for the mobile users though, sorry in advance hh.

honestly, both works. tiny font saves space but regular font does more justice for my poor eyes haha. its your call!

hybe comebacks :( yeah enhypen got lucky because they came back right before cb season so they got three wins (yay)! on the bright side, txt just got their first win and bts has six wins, so it all works out i guess. omg yes, the streaming thing is perfect. i stan like 20 groups so i have a never-ending cycle of filler mvs and its always so helpful. ooh for the final performances - you wont regret watching any of them! literally wild, kingdom's budget and talent are wild.

ooh, I don't watch any cdramas lmao. i want to but i can barely finish kdramas. if its a movie ill watch it! ive never heard of more than blue but ill check it out <3 where can i watch it?

yes yes i have just realized that sungchan is yujin's co-mc! i watched their special stage (which is literally adorable) and was today years old when i realized that the dude is sungchan pls. nct hollywood was so unexpected and i still have mixed feelings about it now. LMAO JUST ASIANS LIVING IN AMERICA...help. that would be interesting (?) but the concept reminds me of those horrendous awesomeness tv shows. lets hope sm pulls this off well and proves me wrong. lmao all 4 units coming back would probably happen, but i hope none of them get overworked :( i constantly feel like mork lee has four clones :'( also...sm filed bankcruptcy??? dang, what happened?

ugh omg yeah shotaros talent is seriously being wasted in the basement right now. as for fires, scary T-T i wasnt that fazed by them until the australia wildfires happened, and i learned about the consequences of fire and got really scared. its good that the entire mall didnt burn down though! although its weird that no one is opening it :( schools really need to tell us the difference between drills though, it might be dangerous for those rebellious kids.

yeah i just realized that the nct track is an endorsement which partly explains why i cant listen to it. the mv's visuals are stunning!! the set and people are so gorgeous aa i cant

oh yeah im not an atiny but i have acknowledged since 2020 that they have one of the best, if not the best stage presence and expressions on stage for 4th gen. i think their only worthy competitor would be stray kids actually. theyre truly one of a kind and all of them are cute especially that yeosang guy. i will definitely check out your song recommendations though!

oof the pd48 scandal is extremely complicated. to condense it in a few statements: all of the girls' rankings have been rigged since the very beginning and it was rumored that they already had their end group before the show even started. it was like this for pf48 and pdx101 (group x1) which was why x1 disbanded within a month of debuting, and izone were on hiatus for like 4 months. im not the best at explaining stuff like this haha, but i think you get it. you can check out yt or search up 'pd48 scandal', a ton of articles and videos. as for new groups, nothing has been made clear yet. theyve only made instagram handles for now and appeared on variety shows haha. as for acting career, hyewon was supposed to do acting but was forced to join pd48 so maybe she'll continue acting afterwards? nothing is confirmed yet!

lmao two similarities, its okay it counts. ah, true, i can see their similarities now that youve mentioned it, as well as how jeno is kind of like that. however, i am currently attached to jaemin so we'll see what happens from there hehe. i swerve easily.

jaemin on bubble grr, that would be a whole experience. from the bare minimum of vidoes ive seen for him wbk jaemin is so whipped for czennies. ah yes repackage! i saw the post on instagram and went to the comments to see everything screaming ‘iM bROke!’ and it was lowkey hilarious lmao. kpop is really trying to suck our money T-T.

ope the longest fic ive read is like...40k words i think? and it was by jeonginks. ill read anything eiko produces lmao, theres always so much substance in her work. ooh, tell me what you think of luvdsc’s stuff, i just finished binging their entire masterlist lmao.

seungmin vs jake yeah, i havent been catching up on skz enha content because im still obsessing over the dreamies but when that saga is over then im going to focus on my ults lmao (which might include dream soon, hehe).

yes yes i have a mechanical bluetooth keyboard that i use to connect to my computer! it literally sounds amazing lmao, its only 10am here but i feel like im going to doze off from the clickity clackitys already. i cant wait for you to get one! tell me when you do, we can match hehe.

hyuck is an aodrable brat please. hes like the best comedian of nct at this point, so hilarious and filled with variety i love him. he rose up my bias list pretty fast too. LMAO YOUR MOM IS SO COOL I LOVE HER ALREADY. if only my mom would cook for my ults’ borndays.

yes my rec blog is a mess right now, ill organize it soon haha.

omg thank you and yes my website theme is one-of-a-kind. even i get confused when i open it or edit it, and i constantly get comments about it. also i just realized our opposing theme colors and i love it! its adorable.

I think it’s time to reflect on 2019.

What a fucking whirlwind of a year. I dieted, exercised, went to korea, went blonde and pink and purple, took a CBD class, took a lot of Yoga, kicked my merch habit, lost and gained 10 pounds, got a new fucking job that I fucking love with the best boss I’ve ever had, worked a ton of just the craziest events, and got to see the clouds move at crazy fast paces that make me feel so light and uncommitted to this world and who I am now. I think that’s one of the crazy things of sitting here on the 40fh floor watching these clouds float and I mean literally get a move on past me above a city that seems to be falling asleep slowly. What a gorgeous view and a crazy experience that I get to have. And I had this not just once but multiple times this year.

I love these stupid skylines and gorgeous landscapes and breath taking views and just expanses. It’s so different than just sitting in my LA apartment and I’m so so soooooo immensely grateful for this change. I’m glad we moved too. I think I’m happy with the move just a little uncontent with where we are choosing to spend money.

2019 was so insanely long.

Kpop wise, I was still so in love with stray kids at the beginning of the year. I watched the miroh cb but tbh it set the tone and so I wasnt as thrilled about the remainder of the comebacks. I was still so so into BTS. I still really liked taehyung. I had a yoongi phase to shield myself from claires increasing obsession with Taehyung. I got to have JUS2, the best unit ever to be birthed by GOT7 debut and also have their stuff everywhere while I was in Korea. I got into Izone. I got to have WayV fulfill every single Cpop dream I had. I watched IP2 and cried over YMM pretty much the entire season and wenhan. I got to see blackpink and pentagon and Twice and GOT7 AGAIN!!! And then my dream literally came true. I worked kcon?!? I dont even care for ATEEZ but so so cool to be able to be part of a moment. And I got to see Woojin 🥺the only one I would ever use this emoji for. As the year draws to a close, I really think I’m a bigger Dream fan than ever before. Fireflies and DNYL was the track OF THE YEAR. I can’t stop listening to it and boom is also such a great track. And on some level I think that SKZ is my guilty pleasure EDM group. That’s super super nice to have. I’m obsessed with SUPERM. WHAT A GENIUS MOVE to have such absolute powerhouses in one group and I’ll get to see them in the new year! Also so so so proud of Got7 this year. While eclipse was not my favorite, I will say this year everyone seemed the most content with what they were putting out and they had the best time promoting all of their music. As a fan I’m much deeper in love with Markhyuck than I ever have been and it’s starting to blend into 2park. It’s been such a whirlwind. Such a crazy long year. I also will take some time eventually to talk about just how different it is now that BTS is a clear top. Nothing is as interesting or as fun anymore. Especially year end stages. And I miss having Exo. I love BTS don’t get my wrong. I rrally think they did something exceptional with their music. But I dont think I can ever refute that EXO is the BEST kpop boy group of all time for many many many reasons. It’s nice having them comeback with a strong concept like obsession. So. So happy with it. Also Lowkey happy with the music style trade between 127 and exo with obessesion and superhuman lol. I think for now that’s enough about kpop. How I’m consuming it is constantly changing. I’m not longer following as closely but I think it’s just enough. And I’m learning when to save and when to just like something.

As a person, did I become more of a leo? More abrasive and rough? Defensive and almost unpleasant to be around? Maybe. I think there’s a lot of residual habits that I had formed during my two dormant years that I want to fix including, accidentally over dominating a conversation and spacing out when someone else is talking. I feel super rusty and I feel bad that I seem to no longer engage with people as much as I used to or as well as I used to. I think I need more practice with friends who aren’t just in my immediate circle or very surface level. I definitely want to read more books on that.

Personally, I have a few goals this year. First quarter of the year I want to focus on my exercise, diet, and korean. I think 3 things shouldn’t be too hard to handle. To tackle this, I want to spend time looking at things I would like to cook to be healthier and to eat healthier. And for exercise, if I can just manage to do what Kelly did and pair it with exercise, I really believe I can drop major pounds. I feel motivated again to do it and I want to do it well. I also do want to set some goals at work but I think that needs further reflecting this month. On my to do list.

I still want to do some form of YouTube but I havent quite decided what yet. So that’s more to come later.

Did I reflect on my 2019 enough? I really think that it’s been an immense year of personal growth but also if slip ups and seeing a lot of my Achilles heels. A testament of my laziness but also willingness to make things happen. I was burnt out and motivated all at once because it felt like I was living three lives at once and I had comepletely separates how I felt in each one. It proves to me that I am able to really change how I approach anything just based on mentality and it has nothing to do with how I feel right now as a whole. I am complex with many emotions and depth that gives me the ability to juggle almost multiple universes for myself. What makes me so so soooo excited about this year is that I think I can finally properly break away from chains that I’ve imposed on myself through my friendships. I have been learning how to form my own opinion, how to defend yet not be defensive of them, and to not have to agree. It’s less of a breaking away from my friends than a breaking away from my thoughts and impressions of this friendship past my boundary.

On that note, I do think this is the year that I let Alex Lim go. I think cutting him off myself last fall was the hardest most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever had to go through in a friendship but I am happy to report that I’m happier now. I feel unconstrained and just the same indifference I feel for his girlfriend. I’d love to stay in the loop but it’s not the same stress that I felt.

I also feel more free of Alex Do for the first time. This year included the developments of his update wi th AILINA when I decided to go to exec elections, him ignoring me, me finding out he was dating someone, me finding out he was refused to make it official because of us but had also brought her home, and him moving back to Texas. It just felt so much freer to not be tied anymore and to feel bad or feel remorse or any of the things that I had felt in the entirety of our relationship and post breakup. I’m actually quite happy with where I’m at now.

Family is hard. I think this year is going to be hard for everyone.

Regardless. What an amazing jam packed long ass year. I’m so so soooo excited for anew chapter. It proves that time doesn’t necessarily need to move faster. But I should also plan with less stress. I think that’s the biggest take away this year. How I manage stress.

Here’s to a 2019. The craziest year yet.
