getting shit together~

day 1/50 productivity challenge

26/august/2024 - monday

no school today so yay! i don't really have anything urgent to "catch up" on but i've fallen severely behind on my own study plan. considering i don't go to any extra tuition/coaching, i need to be disciplined in my time management and hold myself accountable to the reasonable plans i made for myself. i'm not in too deep though so all i need to do now is get back on track.

🕒 10:00 a.m.

morning skincare

extended duolingo streak

cleaned out email + photo gallery

practiced playing keyboard

enough is enough with my procrastination towards studying. i mean i even watch study motivation videos on youtube instead of studying! so i just made a cup of coffee and dived straight into work.

studied psychology ch-1: what is psychology?

something to say: the ncert psychology textbook is actual nonsense. thank god for my teacher, he actually explains each concept mentioned in the textbook and so much more. if it wasn't for his classes, i don't think i would have understood literally anything in the textbook. the fact that he's most probably leaving next year is kinda making me anxious because what if the next teacher is absolute shit. this is a subject that involves lots of theory and long lectures. my current teacher is very animated in his discussions and he also involves us students too. it's never a boring class. but if the next teacher is boring i will literally start hating the class, and i don't want that to happen considering i love this subject and am actually planning on pursuing it in the future.

also akjsdfhkjashgdjkg sigmund freud, that man, istg, is gonna haunt me for the rest of my life.

it really grates on my skin if my room is dusty. and that easy annoyance combined with being a maximalist who loves trinkets is not a good combination. the universe decided to make me a walking contradiction, in many areas of my life. i make it a thing to clean my room at least once every week.

cleaned my room

did a workout video (when the workout leaves you sore>>>)

i like to do the dusty and sweaty work before taking bath so that i feel clean for the rest of the day. also thank fuck my periods ended yesterday, i hate them so much ugh i never even want to be pregnant.

took bath

prepared for seminar for psychology

basically us students have to learn the 6th chapter and "teach" it to the teacher. since we're only 3 students, our teacher told us to divide the topics amongst ourselves. we're supposed to start tomorrow but my topic is probably not tomorrow since i'm doing the second part of three. i still want to start preparing. presentations always make me nervous but i know that if i'm prepared i don't do bad at all.

night skincare

🕒 12:30 a.m.

will probably get around 6 hours of sleep.

also, random warning/tip but don't trust the ai generated summary of answers that comes up first when you search anything on google. it just uses whatever phrases it can to make a coherent set of statements. but a lot of the time, it doesn't summarize correctly at all. click on the results of a legit website to at least quickly cross-check. do not take info solely from the ai tool.

Heyyo,

It's been a while since I've posted but let's ignore that. My exams got over a while back and I've been bingeing New Amsterdam like I don't have my board exams in a little over a month.

Other than that I'm doing heckin good, I am currently obsessed with Ricky Montgomery and the Honeysticks and I actually cleaned my room the other day! (which was a task I had been procrastinating for over two months) I'm also super happy with how my March spread turned out yay :D

7. Something you hate to see in dialogue. 17. How are you procrastinating today?

Something you hate to see in dialogue

Two things come to mind, mostly from recent fics I’ve read, lol

A) A lack of character voice. Your characters shouldn’t sound interchangeable.  Hunk’s word choice and syntax are as different as his hobbies and posture from Keith, whose are different from Lance, ect ect. So often characters are given lines that would just never come out of their mouth and it instantly shoves me out of the story.

B) Tildes. If you don’t recognize the name, these things: ~. I get using them in internet chat speak. But they absolutely do not belong in a character’s dialogue, either. And if you do use it, it should be extremely sparingly and also extremely character specific.

I’m fired up about these currently, but they have absolutely ruined fics for me before.

How are you procrastinating today?

Ironically, I’m procrastinating from cleaning up and work by actually doing my writing.  Yay!

quarantine tag

tagged by @suggable thank you for checking in w me bby

are you staying home from work/school?

im staying at home now : ] upsides of teaching tiny minions into taking over the world one baby shark at a time i mean what-

if you’re staying home who’s with you?

the ‘rents. its been great. really reminding me why i wanted to live in the dorms during college.

if you can go outside, what do you like to do during this time?

we are ~technically~ allowed outside again but no one trusts state media so no one is really leaving the house unless necessary

an event you were looking forward to that got cancelled?

i was gonna stay with my aunt in her fancy ass villa over chinese new years but lockdown was announced the day before i was supposed to leave so yay

any fascinating concept you’re studying?

i got really confused on why toilet paper was in such high demand and wanted to explore some right wing media conspiracy theories bc im truly That Bored™️ but then i got sucked down a wikipedia rabbithole that started with a lengthy toilet paper orientation article, passed through a couple some buzzfeed unsolved worthy mysteries, skipped by this incredible list of sexually active priests and non-human electoral candidates, somehow learned about a frequency sound that can make you shit your pants, got asked how if there was a chicken apocalypse how i would take down 2.7 chickens, learned that barbar isnt the only fancy elephant, and then stuck my landing from a simone biles twist with this article about action park and reading the names to my dad in a truly atrocious british accent. it was 3am. i still dont know why toilet paper was in such high demand and im an econ major. demand is the name of the game. quarantine for the past couple months have been great thanks for asking.

what kind of acts of creativity/forms of art are you currently doing?

pixel art reminding myself how to sing in an operatic voice just to drive my mom crazy and projecting my voice bc not actively running after children screaming has reverted my voice back to its og ‘what did you say shirley? speak up!!!!’ form. ive also been binging a lot of film analysis videos bc why go to a school famed for its film and acting school, actively choose not to pursue film arts, and then learn from amateurs am i right?

what movies have you watched recently? shows?

OH BOI ive been rewatching all of my emotion-heavy old anime favourites; the ones in heavy rotation currently are perfect blue, this corner of the world, i want to eat your pancreas, haibane renmei, millenial actress, graveyard of the fireflies, madoka magica rebellion, a silent voice, noragami......

what are you reading?

bc i have the attention span of a goldfish ive been on and off picking these books to read: light is like water by gabriel garcia marquez; the journey of the eyeball by katherine vaz; the story of a painter by ludamilla petrushevskaya; the daughters of the moon by italo calvino; and the shell collector by anthony doerr

a song that resonates with your state of mind at the moment?

what are you doing for self care?

finally downloading all of the music i wanted on my phone and also practicing to write with my left hand bc i used to be pretty ambidexterous but then i stopped practicing. im also planning on cleaning out my laptop and music library bc i keep procrastinating on it

[surveys-at-your-service]

Survey #232

“i’ve never bought a suit before in my life, but when you go to meet god, you know you wanna look nice.”

Do you have trouble typing when the room is dark? No, I don't look at the keyboard. When’s the last time you had a headache? I had an abomination of a three-day-long headache before my cycle like a week or two back or something. How often do you take surveys? Not as much as I used to now that I actually have school, but occasionally. What did you last write on paper? I think some items to Mom's shopping list? Does anything on your body hurt? No. What do you currently hear? "Bullet" by Hollywood Undead. I can hear cars outside, as well as Bentley biting himself incessantly. Sounds gross. Do you have any goals you’re trying to fulfill? As for in the near future, hopefully - I'd pray if I believed in it by this point - start losing weight again. Grow more in my photography, 1.) because I want this so badly and 2.) there's no way I could handle the stress of school and a "real" job but we're in serious need of money right now. I'd really like to make progress with driving too, but I haven't been able to in months because a headlight in broken, the license plate or whatever is expired, and the car can't pass inspection, so Mom doesn't want me at the steering wheel and get pulled over for it. Being on the borderline poverty line is A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you ever do the dishes? I'mma be real, real honest here. Not really. Reason being we don't have a dishwasher and I am super queasy actually hand-cleaning dirty dishes, I get frustrated because I feel I don't clean them well enough (being a germaphobe is also fun), and my OCD goes absolutely insane trying to play Tetris with the drying rack thingy. All that being said, it's my least-favorite chore. At your house, does everyone eat together as a family? No. We started to drift apart when I was... maybe a pre-teen? When did you last have butterflies in your stomach? Sara decided she wanted to try making out and I was fucking terrified of going too far or scaring her. Are you independent or dependent? I'm embarrassingly dependent. Who last made you smile? My pup. How did you find Bzoink? Taking surveys for so long. What’s your dream job? If travel and heat weren't considered, a meerkat biologist. Do you brush your teeth twice every day? Just once. Do you have a pool? No. Are the streetlights on? We don't have streetlights on my road. When you wear a hoodie, do you pull the sleeves over your hands? Not unless I'm really cold. Do you trust anyone, besides yourself, fully? Sara. I would say Mom, but I'm entirely aware she's lied and made stories up about Dad. Do you believe the saying “once a cheater, always a cheater”? No. I've never really understood this. People change. Are you in any advanced classes at school? I bypassed the freshman English class, yeah. Well, is that considered "advanced?" I don't believe it's like an AP course or anything, but it's not a class I'm supposed to be taking as a freshman, so??? How often do you eat your favorite food? Every once in a while. Have you ever fallen asleep on public transport? (including planes) Probably. What was the last TV show you watched? Uhhhh I think it was all the way back when Colleen and I were still friends and we checked out The Good Doctor. Or it was either Parks and Recreation with Sara and her family or Avatar: The Last Airbender, also with Sara. Where was the last place you went on vacation/holiday to? Who’d you go with? The beach with Colleen, her husband, and their son. Well, does that count since it was only for a day? Does the place you work have music playing? What sort? I don't have a job. What’s your favorite type of donut? It varies between chocolate frosted, glazed, and plain. What do you usually eat for breakfast? If I even eat, it'll probably be like, a meal replacement shake or Pop-Tart. Can you touch your toes without bending your knees? Surprisingly. When was the last time you went out for dinner? Like at a sit-down restaurant? Hm. I think it was El Tapatio with my mom and Nicole maybe near two months ago. What was the last thing you said to someone else in person? Idr, something to Mom. Do you use Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else entirely? Windows. How many times do you call someone on the phone a week? Like zero, usually. Have you cooked anything today? What was it? No. Do you have a lot of cousins? What are their names? Yeah. I'm not sharing all their names on the Internet, and besides, I don't even know most. What does your shampoo smell like? I don’t know. What about the body wash or soap you’re using at the moment? I don't remember, even though I got out of the shower like an hour ago. Any movies you’ve seen recently that you’d recommend to me? No, I barely ever watch movies. Why did you last go see a doctor? The primary reason was for my night terrors. Do you know how to play Minesweeper? No. What was the last thing you bought online? A new heat lamp for my snake Venus. Where do you usually park your car? I don't have a car, but Mom parks in the driveway behind the house. Does your mail get delivered to your house or do you have to collect it? It's put in the mailbox on the other side of the road. Are you more logical or creative? Creative, I'd say. Do you cut tags out of clothing so they don’t itch and bother you? Usually. How many times a year do you go on vacation? Pretty much never. Can you curl your tongue or do anything else cool with it? I can curl it a little bit, but my snake eyes piercing prevents me from doing it all that well. What was the last job interview you went to? For a deli position at a Food Lion. Got the job, lasted not even two hours. :^) What embarrassing music do you listen to? I'm not really *embarrassed* of any I listen to. Just kinda surprising to admit to some people sometimes. What’s your biggest talent? Writing, I guess? What’s the best gift you ever received? My dog. What fear would you like to overcome? More than ANYTHING? Probably being judged in a negative way or being seen as "weird," and not in a good way. AvPD is a bitch and makes me less open about myself (mostly just irl, but yeah), which I REALLY don't like. Would you rather ride in a hot air balloon or hang-glide? Hm, hang-glide, maybe. I dunno. What habit would you like to break? Procrastinating, lately. Describe the most romantic moment you’ve ever had. I can think of a few, but here's the one that had the most biggest effect on me, I think. There was one time Jason and I were kissing, I told him I loved him, and he whispered, "I love you too, wife," before going back to kissing me. Remembering that still hurts, a lot. I know now us separating was for the better, I don't want someone who doesn't have faith in my strength, just the memories like those from the time I was convinced our love story was a fairy tale are very painful. Just typing it caused a discomfort in my stomach. What’s your worst personality trait? Laziness, probably. Or impulsiveness. Have you ever cheated on a test? No. What’s your favorite karaoke song? I don't sing karaoke. Do you know anyone with two different colored eyes? I don't believe so. What was the last thing you bought for someone else? Sara's anniversary present, which was a pillow that said something along the lines of, "Hug this pillow until you can hug me" or something. Do you like hot fudge sundaes? My fat ass can't even associate with you if you don't like HOT FUDGE SUNDAES????????????? Do you like to sleep a lot? It's funny, I tend to like naps during the day, yet I don't look forward to trying to go to sleep at night. It always takes longer, and there's also the possibility of just waking back up and struggling to fall back asleep for the rest of the night. Is there a garbage can in the room you’re currently in? No. Have you ever been in a class that you thought you were too smart for? I don't think so. Can you type without looking at the keyboard? Yeah. We had a mandatory typing course in middle school, so I learned it exceptionally well. Have you ever been snorkeling? No. Who was the last person you apologized to? Maybe Sara? Do you throw things when you’re frustrated? NO. I am very conscious of not expressing my anger with physical violence of any sort. How much do you get paid at your current job? N/A Are your friends mostly older than you or younger than you? I think younger. Would you ever get a pet tarantula? Nah. Do you want to dye your hair? Ugh, you have no idea. What’s your favorite zoo animal? Meerkats, duh. Is there anything in your room you’d be ashamed to show to your parents? I'm VERY self-conscious of my artwork, so I'd be mortified if my mom saw my drawings, even though there's nothing "wrong" with them. I'm just shy about 'em. Have you ever accused someone of cheating when they weren’t? Yeah, hence the end of that day-long relationship. Him cheating was a lie from his insane ex, but at the time, I just believed it, but it was absolutely for the better. He wasn't for me. I really shoulda just listened when my art teacher literally took me aside one day and warned me about him. Wha'd'ya know, he wound up on house arrest or something similar, and who the hell knows what he's done by now. When was the last time you played hide and seek? I played with my niece and nephew some months ago. Don’t you hate when people stare at you? Fuckin' yes. I'm too self-conscious for that shit. Have you ever accidentally caught yourself on fire? Well thank god no. Are you Jewish? No. Does anyone copy the things you do? No. Is your dad still alive? Yes, yay. Have you done anything lately that you instantly felt was a mistake? Possibly. What melts your heart/makes your knees weak? Watching Mark with kids causes me severe physical pain. What would you consider unforgivable? Rape. What are your views on spontaneous human combustion? Freaky. Parasite Eve first made me think "oh shit what if this could actually happen," and I've also watched a Shane Dawson video about it, and the idea of it possibly being a real thing is absolutely terrifying. How many dryer sheets do you put in an average load of laundry? I think Mom uses one or two? I dunno. Have you ever felt trapped in a relationship? No. What is your favorite frozen treat? Ice cream. Do you have a sexual fantasy? ...What is it? There's probably something I could think up. Maybe like bang on a church pew or something lmao idk. Who was the last person to insult you? I'm not sure. What color is your brush/comb/whatever? White. Is it wicked hard for you to sleep when its hot in your room? It is almost entirely impossible. Have you ever purposely given someone wrong directions? No, but then again, it's not like I even give them. I have a horrible sense of direction and don't know street names, highway numbers and locations... What is your favorite thing to do with your best friend? I'm not sure. Everything is fun with her. Are you easily offended? It depends. In most contexts, no. Have you ever acted as tour guide for friends/relatives from out of town? Not really. If you were an anime character, would you be a yandere or a tsundere? HAHAHA I AM PAINFULLY A YANDERE. If you have glasses, do you get days when you don’t feel like wearing them? No, because I like to see. Have you ever played bingo at an actual bingo hall? No. Ha ha, this reminds me tho, I can't recall if he did it once or just WANTED to, but my brother may have gone into one, yelled "BINGO," and immediately left. Did your parents ever collect any magazines they didn’t want you to read? Uhhhh no. I'm quiiiiite sure neither of my parents had those. Have you ever pledged money to a Kickstarter and it reached its goal? No. I probably would if I had excess money and really believed in it, though. Is there a color combination that holds a significance to you? Because Jason's favorite thing in the world was the Joker, seeing purple and bright green together is one I just prefer not to see. I wouldn't call it a PTSD trigger, like I don't freak out about it, it's just like an "ugh ew" sorta thing. If you use Facebook, do you ever look at the Memories page? No. I cringe 90% of the time when they pop up. Do you have a drawer where you just throw some random stuff? No. Have you ever had to provide an alibi for something? No. What’s the funniest shirt that you own? I have a Batman one I'm trying to shrink back into that says something like "I wish I was Batman but I'm poor and hate fighting" & I love it. What is something you absolutely refuse to pay for? Idk off the top of my head. Has a stray/runaway cat or a dog ever followed you home? Cats, I think? If so, what did you do with it? Fed it with the other cats, and I'd assume Mom would've called the owner's number if given. If you could grow a beard or a mustache, would you? I'm a cisgender female so like... Is there a stranger you expect to see every day? No. What is something you take pride in? I'm proud of just how deeply and genuinely I care about people. And my writing and photography, mostly. What does the nicest dish set you own look like? All our dishes are literally the same, and they're ancient. I think they were my grandma's but given to Mom. Pattern's worn and everything. They're ceramic with a floral design. Why did you stop working at the last place you were employed? I absolutely cannot be in a position of responsibility or customer service, and the environment was way too busy. What would you do if you found out your ex was pregnant/fathered a child? I... don't know how I would react? Picturing it, I first feel like I'd be so happy for him, but I KNOW my PTSD would act up at some point shortly after and I would probably end up in a bawling ball (lol "bowling ball" that wasn't intended sorry) because "that was supposed to be me," but then I'd be fine again after I got all that emotion out. Who was the last person to smoke a cigarette in front of you? Someone at school. You can smoke outside, and it's the one thing I don't like about my college. Are you very close to your siblings? Not nearly as close as I wish we were. How often do you watch the news? Never. Do you have a dishwasher? No. What is the worst lie you’ve ever told? I don't like talking about it. Well, it wasn't a lie, but I stretched the truth because anxiety's a goddamn asshole. Where is the last place you drove to? I drove to, probably home. What is your favorite Disney movie? The Lion King. I may even like the live-action remake more, but I can't say with certainty. Do you have a fan in your room? Yeah. What color is your lampshade? I don't have a lamp. Do you like to wear belts? Not anymore. What is the most expensive electronic in your room? This laptop. Only a year old and yet it's so abused with how much it's used. Are you involved with any charity work? I wish I was in the position where I could, anyway. Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? No. Have you ever hatched an egg? OKAY SO! I remember in elementary school, maybe like 1st grade or something, we incubated a chicken egg and hatched it. I can't remember where it went. Do you chew gum on a daily basis? No, I rarely do. What brand shampoo do you use? Suave. When is the last time you went to an amusement park? Years ago shortly before the breakup with Jason and Dillon. Or Dustin. Whatever his name was. Do you have a garden shed in your backyard? Nope. Are you obsessed with anything? Y'all know I don't know how to love in moderation, not even remotely. Do you prefer non-diet or diet soda? I hate diet, and the artificial sweetener also gives me serious headaches. Who was the last person you hugged? My mom, maybe? What did you do when you found out Michael Jackson died? We were swimming in the pool while Mom or Dad was grilling, idr. What’s your best friend’s favorite band? Pink Floyd, Evanescence, and Within Temptation. What’s your favorite kind of beer? Never tried it, don't want to. How do you get songs out of your head? Binge it 'til I'm tired of it lmao. Have you seen all the High School Musicals? I've only seen the first two. Do you dress appropriately for your age? I don't know? Probably not? Do "normal" 23-year-olds wear graphic tees? What’s your favorite word? "Serendipity." What’s the worst sickness you’ve ever had? A serious stomach virus that made me puke all the food I'd eaten since birth. Do you take compliments well? Of course I appreciate them, but I get shy. Are excessive piercings sexy or trashy? Well they're definitely not "trashy," but SERIOUSLY excessive ones, I don't usually find attractive. But it really depends on the person, the size, and where. What do you put on toast? Cinnamon, sugar, and butter. The Southern cinnamon toast. Have you ever watched Fear Factor? I LOVED it when I was younger, and I still enjoy it if I happen to see it. Joe Rogan was one of my earliest crushes, too. How many songs do you have on iTunes? Over 1k. What song reminds you of summer? MAN I remember as a kid, back when I liked country, my sisters and I loved "When The Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney. Big summer vibes. Has a bird ever flown into your window? OH WOW I don't think so, but I do remember one flew into the car's grill when I was very young and going on a trip. Safe to say it died.

50 Questions Tag!

@jongin-be-my-jagi​ tagged me for this a while ago, but I took my sweet time to answer. Here is my secret intel if you want to know me a little bit more!! Check hers as well, she’s an amazing writer and friend. 1. What takes up too much of your time? Tumblr, my stupid procrastination prone brain and my thesis. 

2. What makes your day better? Friends and loved ones, music and these absolute dorks (Channie especially) 

3. What’s the best thing that happened to you today? I hopped on the mat today in the early hours of the morning, rain on my window and the neighbours cat peeking at me from his window across the street.

4. What fictional place would you like to go to? Wonderland, bacause it’s “curiouser and curiouser!”

'Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.  Alice replied, rather shyly, 'I — I hardly know, sir, just at present — at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

5. Are you good at giving advice? I think so. Not so good at following my own advice though.  I do always consider where the other is standing and if I don’t know how to proceed then I’ll just be honest and say I can’t help. But i’ll always listen with my heart. 

 6. Do you have any mental illnesses? Not diagnosed. I do think i might be going through something now. 

7. Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis? No, but i have a recurring nightmare: the world is made of black and white paper thin layers. I am a paper thin person walking along a street surrounded by paper thin buildings. I walk for a long time, looking up at the white sky. Until the street ends, there is no more building and i fall into the abyss of a blank page.  I have had this dream since the age of 8 or 9 years old. Fear of not being good enough, you say?! Ding, ding, ding!! We got a winner in the back!  8. What musician inspired you the most? I get inspired by music all the time!! One of my all time favourite songs is Spanish Sahara by Foals. Its sublime!

So I’d say I’m mainly inspired by these artists: Queen, Arctic Monkeys, Foals, Radiohead, Bowie, Daughter, Bob Dylan, Beirut, Yeah yeah yeahs, Arcade Fire, The National, Joy Division, Blur, Warpaint, Gorillaz, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Chet Baker, The Cure, Courtney Barnett, The Maccabees, Car Seat Headrest, Florence + The Machine, Editors, Kasabian, Crystal Fighters, Death Cab for a cutie, The Doors, Efterklang, Explosions in the Sky, Franz Ferdinand, The Horrors, James Blake, José Gonzalez, Los Campesinos!,  Metronomy, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Patrick Watson,  Phoenix, Sharon Van Etten, The Shins, Simon & Garfunkel, The Smiths, St.Vincent, The Strokes, Toro y Moi, tricot, Tune-Yards, TV on the radio, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Vaccines, Vampire Weekend, The Velvet Underground, The War on Drugs, Wild Beasts and Yo La Tengo.

And the electro, pop and hip-hop groves of my heart: EXO, 2NE1, Janelle Monáe, Big Bang, Kris Wu,LCD soundsystem, SBTRKT, Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar and Daft Punk. 

And special mentions to the portuguese ones (learning from yixing and promoting when i can :P): Capicua, Joana Espadinha, The Legendary Tigerman, Linda Martini, Mayra Andrade, Noiserv, Ornatos Violeta, Paus, Samuel Uria, You Can’t Win Charlie Brown and The Silence 4. I know, tldr right? Sorry folks! 9. Have you ever fallen in love? Yes I have. I have mistaken a crush for love too. But i have definitely been very deeply in love. A wrecked kintsugi heart over here people! 10. What’s your dream date? I don’t think I have one. I’d love to do something unique with that someone special, something special for the two of us. It could be as simple as riding the subway while sharing earphones & listening to our playlist or walking the dogs out! Idk, I’m easy to please. But right now it would have to be with this handsome man :D pretty please?!

11. What do others notice about you? I am very kind and warm hearted, so I think that’s what people first notice when meeting me. Although I maintain good eye contact, I am also timid and will be quieter if there are very energetic people in the group. When alone, I usually take the first step and try to meet people, but only if i really must.  12. What’s an annoying habit you have? It’s really hard for me to ask for help. I also like to tell detailed descriptions of everything... Couldn’t you tell? 13. Do you still talk to your first love? I’ll text him on his birthday and he does the same to me. We met when we were 10 years old and that childhood friendship remains. But regarding my one and truly deep relationship, no we do not talk, unless we randomly meet.

14. How many exes do you have? I have three exes. The first love who was just an idealized crush on my childhood friend: we dated for 2 weeks during summer break xD Then my first real boyfriend, we met in my first year at university, dated for quite some time, he really loved me and made me love myself a little more. Finally the one i loved too much. I mended his wounds and made him love himself as much as I did. I always say all the love we feel makes our hearts grow bigger. I do not regret loving any of them, I am me now due to them and I would not change it if I could. 15. How many songs are in your playlist? I have way too many playlists for each and every mood... But my favourite songs list on spotify has about 1500 songs! uwu!  16. What instruments can you play? Triangles and flute?! I had mandatory music classes in school... so in reality I can’t really play a instrument...

17. Who do you have the most pictures of? Probably my cat, Sushi. With a second close of my doodles and sketches. 

18. Where would you like to go before you die? EVERY WHERE!!! But I really want to go to Japan and Scotland and Iceland and South Korea and New Zealand and i’ll shut up. 19. What’s your zodiac? Capricorn. 20. Do you relate to it? Sort of.

21. What is happiness to you? You know when it’s really cold outside in the winter and you manage to find a sheltered place where no wind can hit you and you still get to feel the warm rays of the winter suns on your skin? You hear the birds outside and you are contempt in that moment, at peace. That is happiness to me.   22. Are you going through anything right now? Yes, I am a bit lost. Trying to finish my thesis and trying to find what I want to do after. It’s liberating but also pretty scary. 23. What’s the worst decision you ever made? It’s a series of small decisions really. It started with going for a phd with the same people i worked in my msc. Should have gone to a different place. Then deciding to come home after a traumatic loss in the family. Should have kept my life going but I stalled it then. (I don’t regret helping my loved ones though).

24. What’s your favourite store? Probably Wishtrend for beauty stuff. Other than that I don’t have any favourite brands/stores. 25. (HALFWAY!) What’s your opinion on abortion? I think everyone is free to decide what they want or need to do. I couldn’t possible judge. If I would it? Probably not.

27. Do you have a favourite album? I don’t think so, I have favourite tunes for different moods and moments in my life. But if threatened with my life, I’d maybe say Total Life Forever from Foals.

28. What do you want for your birthday? It’s such a long time until my birthday comes! But maybe a real EXO ot9 reunion as a goodbye to Minseok?

29. What is most people’s first impression of you? Friendly and easy to open up to, i think.

30. What age do you seem according to most people? In real life, people usually think I am way younger than I am.  31. Where do you keep your phone when you’re sleeping? In the crook of my bed, between the mattress and the bed frame.

32. What word do you say the most? No idea really! 33. What’s the oldest age you’d date? 40s? I don’t think too much about age actually. 

34. What’s the youngest age you’d date? 20s? Again not very important to me. Love is love, whomever, whenever and wherever <3

35. What job / career do most people say would suit you? I don’t know! People always say i don’t totally fit in anything... so there’s that. If you have an idea please let me know! 36. What’s your favourite music genre? Go back to question 8. I listen to everything! :D 37. If you could live in any country in the world where would it be? I’d like to live around the world, every few months a different place and get to know different cultures.

38. What is your current favourite song? I’ve been obsessed with RM’s intro/teaser song, Map of the Soul: Persona. (I’m not even a bts fan, but this music and lyrics just touched me a lot.)

39. How long have you had this blog for? I think for about 6 years? It’s my personal space, where I dump all my obsessions.  

40. What are you excited for? I’m visiting some friends in Granada in a couple of weeks. Yay, tapas!

41. Are you a better talker or listener? Normally I am a better listener. But there are a few people to whom i open like a book. Either words flow right out of me without even thinking or they see throw me. Those truly are my people.

42. What is the last productive thing you did? Prepped meals and cleaned the kitchen. Open the folder and file of my thesis. Read the latest chapter I wrote.  43. What do you want for Christmas? Well, just like for my birthday, there is still such a long time to it! But let’s say i want to have already finish this part of my life and want to find my next adventure.

44. What class do you get the best grades in? No more exams! Ehehe! But I used to have good grades at everything. Physical Education was my lowest mark i think.

45. On a scale of 1-10 how do you feel right now? Right now, a 4? I have a headache.

46. What can you see yourself doing in 10 years? Smiling? :D I want to be happy in my own skin. To feel contempt in my life, doing something that gives me a sense of purpose and having time to share and enjoy with my friends and family. 47. When did you get your first heartbreak? Oh my kintsugi heart has been broken quiet a lot. By friends and lovers and even by myself. I keep patching it up with gold dreams though.  48. At what age do you wanna be married? I will only want to be married if i find the one. So until then I guess. 

49. What career did you want to have as a child? I wanted to be an astronaut and a ballerina. Preferably both!

God tel me about it like I swear the moment I get on top of laundry, the next day there’s twice as much. Like I really need to wash my sheets too but I can only do so much laundry in one day, especially when all my towels and clothes aren’t gonna be dry tonight so in the basket damp they go. I think it’s gonna rain at some point so yay me 🙃 and god uni is the death of me, I have the same problem with procrastination and motivation. To the point I’m even questioning if study is worth it cause I can never get any assignments done. But I’m gonna try my hardest and hopefully they’ll still accept my super late submissions. I would go to campus to do work cause tbh I get way too distracted way too easily in my room, but it’s Sunday so the library isn’t open. The hours for the library here are so annoying 🙃 also let’s be real, my energy isn’t gonna extend to walking to campus. That’s just being ridiculous. But I’m hoping I can get everything done before the f2 race tonight! At least the cleaning side of things. May have to give up watching it but either way, has to be finished before the f1 race lol ain’t missing that. 1am deadline

anon im so sorry i missed this but i really hope you had fun watching the f2 race! i dont blame you for prioritizing your sleep over racing, that should always be the important thing. esp when the track for that race isnt competitive with the current make of f1 cars.

i hope you get everything else sorted with uni! studying at home is a gery good idea, even though my flat is a 30 min walk from my campus i decided to head to my parents home to study and ive found that ive gotten a TON of work done funny what studying in a space that isnt 1. overcrowded, loud and stressful (uni) or filled with mold and not heated (flat) will do for u

im about to finish up my presentation today and my essay tomorrow, so i hope you can also catch up and finish up your late work this week <3 it sounds like we both need to experience study one week at a time instead of letting our assignments pile up lmao.

Grocery Escapades

Here’s a drabble micro-fic thingy i made and then didn’t edit because i love procrastinating. :))))))

“Hooray!” Phichit said, throwing his hands up in excitement.

“Calm down, we haven’t even started shopping yet,” Celestino said in dismay. It was a new week, which meant it was time to make another trip to the grocery store to stock up. Which also meant that it was time to put his self-dubbed “iron will” to the test when faced with two sets of big, begging eyes that wanted him to buy all the foods that were strictly off-limits.

A sigh escaped his lips as he pulled the truck into a parking space. As soon as the engine was turned off, both of his students jumped out, sharing gossip and speaking nonsense like children.

“Is this what my life has come to?” Celestino said softly, running a hand through his ponytail.

“What’s that, Ciao Ciao?” Phichit said, looking up from his phone. His coached waved him off dismissively. He wouldn’t let it out that he was enjoying the responsibility of taking care of his students. In fact, they felt more like children to him than students, not only because they often acted like children, but also because of the amount of trust they put in him. Over the past few years of coaching them, both of his students started coming to him for not for advice, but just to be around him. They chose home movie nights instead of going out, and, most recently, they moved out of their shared campus dorm and into Celestino’s house. And so he found himself living in a rag-tag family composed of himself, his two “children”, and a dog in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan.

His love for his students-turned-children would be tested today, however, as it always is on grocery days.

“Please don’t go running around the store without me, now. And no hide-and-seek this time,” Celestino said as they collected a cart and walked through the automatic doors, a cold rush of wind blowing at them.

“Oh, I have an idea!” Phichit said.

Oh no.

The last time Phichit had an idea, Celestino ended up having to clean and restock an entire display of colorful energy drinks after Phichit had knocked it over in his attempt to traverse the grocery store walking backwards.

“Can I ride in the cart, Ciao Ciao?” Phichit said, already getting into the cart.

“I don’t see why not,” Celestino said with yet another sigh. At this rate, he wouldn’t need to watch his blood pressure anymore with all the deep breaths his two charges have been making him take. But at least Phichit’s idea didn’t involve backwards walking or an in-store game of Red Light, Green Light.

With Phichit comfortably settled in the cart, Celestino headed toward the produce section.

“Um,” He heard someone say softly next to him.

“Yes, Yuuri?”

“Can I ride in the cart too?”

Oh boy.

“Sure, get in,” Celestino said, gesturing to the cart.

“Yay!” Phichit exclaimed. “So what’s on the list, Ciao Ciao?”

Drawing his phone out of his back pocket, Celestino opened his grocery list:

Tomatoes

Garlic

Onions

Three items of absolutely abysmal quality in the States. Great.

“The tomatoes here couldn’t hold a candle to the ones in Italia,” He said while inspecting a plump, red tomato.

“You say that every time we’re here, Ciao Ciao,” Phichit said. He earned himself a bop on the head for that comment.

“I say it every time because it’s true. The ones here are absolutely flavorless,”

“Careful Coach, a native might hear you,” Yuuri said, slinging his arms over the edge of the cart.

“Let them hear. They need to learn how to make proper Italian food,” Celestino said. He wheeled the cart over to the potatoes, walking a few feet away to go inspect the onions.

“Hey, Ciao Ciao! Let us help,” He heard Phichit call to him. He proceeded to ignore him as he put one, two, three russet potatoes into a plastic bag.

“Yeah, we didn’t come here with you for nothing,” Yuuri added.

“That’s right,” Celestino started, “you came here to pressure me into buying junk food for you,” He finished, sending the boys a look from the corner of his eye. Phichit opened his mouth to protest, lifting a finger, but decided against it, muttering something along the lines of “kill-joy…” to himself.

As it turned out, Celestino’s charges entertained themselves in the produce section by pointing to the different items they saw and calling out the name in Japanese or Thai. It became a guessing game as they told their coach the name of the item, and then he had to guess what it was. It involved a lot of hot-and-cold hints and some laughter, and it ultimately took them about 10 minutes longer than it should have to find all of the produce they needed.

Celestino had to stop Phichit from attempting to juggle the tomatoes twice before they wheeled to the next section.

“Oh, can we get mango juice, Ciao Ciao?” Phichit said.

“What do you need mango juice for?”

“Mango lassi,” Phichit said as if it was obvious.

“Like I know what that is,” Phichit huffed, putting his hands on his hips, or the best that he could do in the small grocery cart.

“It’s like a mango smoothie,” Yuuri said helpfully.

“This is a little out of my price range,” Celestino said, inspecting a carton of mango juice closely, “if you have mango juice money, you can buy it,”

“Come on, coach!” Phichit protested. Celestino didn’t know if it made him a good or bad parent that Phichit’s whining made him feel just a little bit of satisfaction. Just a little bit.

“Watch out, this is cold,” Celestino said and then dropped a bag of frozen salmon filets into the cart, earning a yelp from both skaters, “And this,” he dropped two packages of raw chicken breast in as well.

“Ciao Ciao, how could you?” Phichit said in mock-despair.

Three more packages of various lean meats later, and it was time for Celestino to go through the first trial of his iron will: the cereal aisle. Last time, he had broken down and allowed his two charges to put a box of cocoa puffs into the cart. But he still holds true to his excuse that he only let them do it because he felt bad for going so hard on them during practice, not because they were adorable or anything.

“You can pick out one cereal,” He said.

“Yay,” both skaters exclaimed,

“From the granola section,” Both skaters groaned at that, letting out variations of “come on, coach” and “not cool”.

“A bowl of sugary kid’s cereal isn’t going to give you anything but a 5 minute rush in the morning,” Celestino chided.

As it turned out, both boys were too busy sulking to bother choosing a cereal, so he picked up two boxes of granola cereal and one bag of muesli and stacked them on Yuuri’s lap for safe keeping.

“Can we get some oatmeal?” Yuuri said.

“Now that is a good choice,” Celestino said and added a tub of oats to the cart, “10 points to team Yuuri,” That got a rise out of Phichit.

“You didn’t tell me this was a competition, coach!”

“It’s not, I just like Yuuri more than you,” He said, failing to keep a straight face and breaking out into laughter at Phichit’s insulted expression.

What Phichit and Yuuri dubbed “the boring section” of the grocery store came next. The so-called boring part of the shopping experience was every aisle that wasn’t the cereal aisle or chips and soda aisle. Yuuri also perked up while they walked through the bakery, but ever since that one time in December, Celestino had developed a detour that avoided the bakery altogether. Nevertheless, the boring part of the shopping passed with companionable silence, the two skaters preoccupied with recording their experience in Snapchat and teaching one another new words in Japanese or Thai. They approached the medicine area,

“Either of you need any more bruise cream?” Celestino said, parking the cart next the ointments.

“No, I don’t think so,”

“How about hemorrhoid cream?”

“Ciao Ciao, ew!”

“That’s gross, coach,” Phichit and Yuuri said, sticking out their tongues. Celestino ended up putting a tube of bruise cream into the cart anyway.

“We need more Band-Aids, though,” Yuuri said.

“Oh, can we get the hello kitty ones? Can we, Ciao Ciao? Please,” Phichit pointed towards the band-aids with more enthusiasm than was necessary.

“Alright, alright, just stop nagging,”

Over at the yogurt section, Celestino was currently debating whether or not he should just leave the cart there and go home. Because now his two skaters were arguing over what kind of yogurt they wanted and which brand. Because apparently the brand of Greek yogurt matters. And apparently, even though Celestino had told them that no, they cannot get GoGurt, it was still being brought up in the argument.  Yuuri was in the process of reaching from his seated position to grab a container of blueberry yogurt when,

“Ow! Coach, he hit me,” Yuuri called out,

“I didn’t hit you, I move your hand out of the way,”

“By hitting my arm!”

“Did not,”

“Did too,”

“Boys,” Celestino tried to interject. But there was no stopping them now, because at the moment they were having a tug of war match over a container of mango-flavored Greek yogurt. While they argued, he walked over to the refrigerators and picked out a gallon of lactose-free milk. Low-fat because it was training season.

Yuuri and Phichit were still arguing.

He made a mental note to pick up some wine before he left.

Now both boys were taking turns yelling “blueberry!”, “mango!” at one another endlessly, and their voices were becoming alarmingly louder. In a wash of dad-mode determination, Celestino wrenched the containers of yogurt from both boys’ hands and put them back on the shelf.

“No,” he said in a scarily soft but stern voice, “not today, not ever…” He then put three containers each of mango and blueberry yogurt in the cart, “now stop arguing, you’re making this so difficult,”

“…sorry coach,” Yuuri said quietly, hanging his head.

“Just ask me before you start fighting over food I’m already going to buy you, for goodness sake,” Celestino said, taking three deep breaths. He wouldn’t tell them that the actual reason he was upset was because he had seen a rather attractive woman over in the refrigerator section and was going to try wooing her, but his skaters had caused a commotion and made him look bad.

Fishing out his phone, Celestino checked more items off the list. Only three more left:

Bread

Eggs

Cheese

Oh, and wine. Make that four items left.

“Be very careful with these,” Celestino said, and then handed each skater a carton of a dozen eggs. Yuuri shifted positions and cradled the carton of eggs like he would a baby, earning a giggle from Phichit. At least the two were getting along again.

“Phichit, close your eyes! This is the adult section,” Yuuri said and proceeded to throw his hands over Phichit’s eyes. They had just wheeled into the wine section.

“Hurry up coach, the longer we’re here, the more he gets corrupted!” the Japanese skater called out over Phichit’s cackling. After picking out a suitable red wine, Celestino wheeled the cart out of the wine section,

“So what’s the diagnosis?” He asked Yuuri.

“He’ll pull through, but some ice cream would do him some good,” Yuuri said, now cradling a dramatic, swooning Phichit in his arms instead of the eggs.

“Nice try,”

Checking off the final items on the list, Celestino headed towards the cash registers.

“Alright boys, is there anything I forgot?”

“Ice cream,”

“No.”

“Then no, I think we have everything,”

As expected, the cash registers were all crowded, people forming jagged lines with their carts while other grocery shoppers tried to move through them.  Every register had a line, so Celestino picked one at random. In what was most likely a cruel twist of fate, the attractive woman from earlier was standing in front of them at register 8. Phichit and Yuuri were busy giggling at something on Phichit’s phone.

“Are these your kids?” The woman asked.

“In a figurative sort of way, yes,” Celestino said, then added, “they’re studying abroad and I’m hosting them,”

“Ah, how sweet!” the woman said with a gasp.

“Boys, introduce yourselves,” Phichit was the first to look up from his phone.

“Oh, hi I’m Phichit! Sawasdee khrab!” He said with a wai.

“I’m Yuuri,” Yuuri said softly.

“Phichit’s from Thailand, Yuuri is from Japan,” Celestino added.

“Wow, you two are a very long way from home,” the woman said, “I’m Helen, by the way,”

“Celestino,”

As they all waited in line, Celestino and Helen carried on their conversation. Phichit and Yuuri were stuck in the middle, turning their heads from Helen to Celestino to Helen again as they talked. Yuuri whispered something into Phichit’s ear, and then the two giggled.

“What are you two laughing about,” Celestino asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Nothing,” Phichit drawled, and then the two giggled again. Celestino then gave the two boys The Look, which, in the context of the situation, meant “don’t blow this for me I’m about to get a date”. And so both skaters went back to looking at Phichit’s phone.

Groceries bagged and paid for, all three wheeled out of the store and towards the truck.

“Thank you for not ruining it for me, boys,” Celestino said.

“No problem, Ciao Ciao,” Phichit replied, and then Yuuri added,

“Just let us know when Helen’s coming over so we can go stay at someone else’s place. I’d rather not be scarred for life again,”

Celestino let go of the cart, letting it roll away past the truck, and watched the boys shriek in terror for a few seconds before running to catch it again.

N - Number of siblings: 2 older sisters (and one older and one younger half brother, I have no contact with either brother though, and I’ve met them like once each or something, I honestly don’t even remember their names, so I usually leave them out of these questions).

O - One wish: That my mental health was actually, you know, healthy. I want to work, have money, have energy to do shit and stuff. I miss it.

P - Person you called last: I rarely ever call people tbh, the last call I made was probably a couple of weeks ago to the group therapy thing I’m going to. My sister called me today though, does that count?

Q - Question you are always asked: I don’t really have one of those now. I used to have, people always asked me if I was upset at work when I wasn’t smiling after cleaning (resting bitch face, yay!), and one long period of time everyone who hadn’t seen me for a few months always asked if I had lost weight (I never had), but I can’t think of anything I’m always asked now.

R - Reason to smile: Just a few minutes ago Julia O’Brien made me smile with her love for her brother, and Tyler Hoechlin for being so gd adorable in his competitiveness during a silly interview game. Other than that, Sterek, love, family, animals, friendship etc. It’s not always easy, but there’s a lot of good in this world that’s worth smiling for.

S - Song you sang last: Probably Hallelujah, it pops into my head pretty often.

T - Time you woke up: Around noon.

U - Underwear colour: Black

V - Vacation destination: As usual lately, the US. I wanna see things and meet people and pet the dog.

W - Worst habit: Procrastination.

X - X-rays: Teeth, toes (I think at least, I was like 6(-ish) and had dislocated the fuck out of one of my toes), arm (that one was broken) and kidneys (kidney stones are no fun kids, avoid them if you can). I think those are all.

Y - Your favourite food: Ugh, idk. I’m gonna go with the usual: A nice steak, because I eat it so rarely. But like, mom’s cheese and ham pie is to die for? And Bowlegs’ taco pie, and-. Okay, I’m stopping there, but you get the point xD

Z - Zodiac sign: Virgo

[sf-akahana]

Yay I got tagged in a thing!!  Thanks @vanillaslayer <3

Dank A to Z Meme

Rules: Answer the questions in a new post and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better

a - age: 21

b - birthplace: Torrance, California 

c - current time: 1:51am (I am currently in a toxic relationship w/ sleep, they always neglect me and honestly I deserve better lol)

d - drink you last had: Water but only because we’re out of soda I’m a bad adult

e - easiest person to talk to: I’m a pretty open person wit all of my friends but there are definitely different friends I would take different problems to.  I’m also the person who is always willing to help others with their problems so lots of people talk to me pretty easily.

f - *current* favourite song: it’s a toss up between a couple different songs, but BTS just dropped a new Japanese album and I’m LIVING for “Don’t Leave Me” it’s so good <3

g - grossest memory: Once when I was like 12 my brother and I were getting ready to go to our martial arts test (which is expensive) and I didn’t feel good and ended up puking, but my mom thought I was faking it to get out of the test and made me clean it out of the carpet.  It wasn’t until I ran to the bathroom in the middle of the test did she realize I was actually sick...but I still finished the test and I still passed so go me.

h - horror yes or horror no: HELL YEAH, I actually get scared pretty easy but I still love horror games and movies and shows like Paranormal Survivor lol.  Although I always stick with psychological horror, stuff like slasher flicks I don’t find very scary I just find them gross and hard to look at.

i - in love?: Nope, not at the moment.  

j - jealous of people?: I don’t tend to be, there are times where I find myself wishing I had what other people have (more emotionally/ life fulfillment wise than material possessions) but I’m not angry at others for having it or wishing to see other’s crash and burn.  I used to feel jealous when my best friend chose to hang out with others friends, but that’s mostly passed.

l - love at first sight or should i walk by again?: Really love at first sight it the most fucking ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard tbh.  Love takes a lot of dedication and the willingness from both parties to stick through hard times and to always try to better themselves.  How could you tell any of that from just a glance?

m - middle name: Jeannette, after my grandmother Janet

n - number of siblings: One younger brother.

o - one wish: My wish is to live a happy and fulfilling life, whatever that ends up looking like for me.  Right now that’s just to continue to work on my art skills and to spend as much times with my friends as I can, but who knows what that will be in the future.

p - person you called last: My Mama <3

q - question you are always (often) asked: “Wow did you draw that?”  Like no, I’m just sitting here with my sketchbook open and a pencil in my hand and this picture just magically appeared.  Jk I actually don’t really mind this kind of question, I like when people take interest in my art.

r - reason to smile: MY CAT SASSY IS THE CUTEST LITTLE SHIT AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH I’m literally watching her sleep rn with her paws held over her face I CAN’T-

s - song you sang last: “Don’t Leave Me” - BTS (I don’t have a problem lol)

t - time you woke up: 4:30pm I have an aweful schedule also it’s spring break

u - underwear color: gray

v - vacation destination: I mean Disneyland is always a good choice but I would also love to visit Japan someday <3  I would also go to Korea but only if a BTS concert was involved because although there are some cool things to do there I’m terrified of the driving conditions

w - worst habit: Procrastination - it’s half the reason I don’t sleep lol

x - x-rays: I haven’t had one since my brother broke my finger when I was 10

y - your favourite food: CKICKEN KATSU CURRY IS MY JAM

z - zodiac sign: Cancer

so I’m supposed to tag 10 people but I seem to be pretty late to this party and most people have probably done it so if you haven’t yet just say I tagged you and I’ll like your post <3
