January’s closed. A done deal. February waltzed into the scene faster than I could say, “Stop!” For the most part, I still pause every time I type or write “2024.” That’s the general state of my mind this year.

In the past couple of days, I managed to get sick and overwrite my blog. Thank goodness for modern medicine and automated back-ups. I am forever grateful for those two. Meanwhile, I am going to have a talk with my remaining two brain cells.

Also, what do you think of my new header? I have fully embraced my persona as a millennial kdrama girl. 😁 But let’s talk about other things that spark joy and creativity. I mean, the world could have more of those, right?

How’s your January going? Mine’s okay, I guess. Sometimes, it doesn’t sink in yet that it’s already 2024. Or maybe it’s just me. Does time seem to fly faster the older one gets?

I’ve been taking things easy on my creative/passion projects. I know I’ve been working too much and too hard, because the number of unread emails in my (personal) inbox shows that. Burnout is real, folks. 10/10 do not recommend. 😅 Now let’s talk kdramas, shall we?

Naming one thing + November inspiration, with a side of revenge kdramas

November started off like any other months this year: Unassuming. I wasn’t expecting life-altering news, but I also wasn’t expecting this month to be a playground of creativity. I’m not complaining, though. This month, I joined NaNoWriMo. I even talked at length about that here, theme song included. I was excited and ready, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Except that the more November shed its days, the more I realized that I will never reach the 50k word count by month’s end. Will I continue to write “Love % Of”, though? Oh, absolutely. I just won’t be waving my first draft in triumph this month.

Kicking off September: Current favorite kdramas and some horror recs

September kicked off with a rainy weather. Not complaining because I really could use a cooler weather. My 17 year-old self who lived for summertime would roll her eyes, but I’d take rainy days over hot ones now, thank you very much.

This side of the world, entering the “ber” months practically means Christmas season. Just last night, a radio station played three Christmas songs in a row. At past three in the morning. If that isn’t the true spirit of Christmas in September, I don’t know what is. 😆

It has been surreal, to say the least

I don’t think I will ever get tired of saying things like, “It’s the middle of August already?” I swear, it feels like time flies faster the older you get. Lately, I’ve been thinking of how cool it would be if time travel was real. I’d definitely travel back to the 90s, hands down. Casey Kasem’s Top 40 on the radio. MTV’s “Daria” and “Beavis and Butthead.” Rollerblades. “Goosebumps” and “Fear Street.” Sunflower hair clips. 😂 Neon caps. Colorful shirts. Baggy jeans. Birkenstock sandals *pause and then whispers* with slouched socks.
