(♪)...

this month's layout is more girlish in honor of the year ending (in contrast to my previous entries) and in preparation for pink winter ( u˘꒳˘u) + my fav month of the year where i love pink seasonal deco 

already at the end~ (*ﾟｰﾟ*)

first and foremost,

another year of blogging passed and i'm glad i was able to talk about a few things & document a few snippets of my life...(｢･ω･)｢ although it's break right now this month has overall been the most inconsistent and chillest

happy holidays~ hope these past few weeks have been well^^

last ever finals was sort of better than i thought just cause most finals were through online submission (*´﹃｀*) and i wrote a short script for the first time for my screenwriting elective which was actually quite fun^^~

study date..and gojo day

he's studying with us in spirit

happy birthday sato-kun...fingers crossed the upcoming season that airs revives his popularity all the way until next december since i have a rough plan of how i *maybe* want to start on his birthday project if possible（。□°）

lately i've been thinking about neocities

the internet is my oyster

i like having this blog and the mobile auto formatting on spacehey is superb which makes my entries readable~~~but neocities is on a different level of crazy after what i've seen people do (in a pleasant way)

there's two that i like a lot these days

love seeing things being poured nearly 100percent into every detail and op hand draws everything from scratch which is so cool and something i've never seen...totally want to have this much control over a website in the future!!!

a bit more reminiscent of true 2000s blogging given the gradients and times new roman but i like this feel...had a lot of fun navigating and seeing diff ways to present urself online www(｡´∀｀)ﾉ

unfortunately neocities with similar layouts aren't as mobile friendly  i'll try building one for fun just to archive other things like pics/web materials/some other scrapped designs and stick to what i've been doing on here monthly~

also took my last final ever …(゜▽゜*)

goodbye, school

feeling slightly bittersweet cause i spent an all nighter to cram since my last exam was a week after i submitted all my other ones so i didn't feel like doing a lot (:3ぅ　)

it was pushed an hour ahead too so i only studied until 8am, took my exam as fast as i could, went home and knocked out (@approx. 10am)

卒業おめでとう

officially done with school forever^^

actually didn't attend commencement cause i didn't want everyone including myself to sit there for a while so i graduated quietly...also cause i didn't want to sit with people i didn't know lolol

haven't done anything special for grad since dec has other things to look forward to, but i'll probably celebrate this milestone by buying a small cake~ yayy to graduating with highest honors 〜(^∇^〜）

ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )

before heading to the bar..

my first time trying actual carbonara and it was so good...these days i've been enjoying more time with friends and checking out anything christmas related (which is why we went to get drinks) 

after this we grabbed milk tea (゜▼゜＊)

the state of my room = plain

*peep kokkuma mochi cushion^^

beginning of 2025 i need to figure out this room situation since my sibling's room has a few things i need to fix (different colored doorknobs, stationary wooden hanger, and an awful paint job since we painted our own rooms) (;´Д`)ugh..

i need the space cause i'm thinking of sizing up my desk for my first ever monitor

and some other elements like a table or mini TV if possible~

gals only☆ room in the making...

still indecisive about what monitor i want but i'm patiently waiting until the mac studio with the m4 chip releases mid-2025 since i've used an apple interface all my life and i prefer to keep it when i work (･_-｡ )> in return looking for a smaller monitor since i don't think i can deal with anything over 27in

we'll see..

i've been on a kdrama run again

i stopped in the past cause i have binge watching tendencies and can never pace myself but i rewatched sky castle then watched penthouse for the first time and wow...penthouse was insanity cause how is everyone a villain

mr. plankton was a nice watch^^

plus some christmas movies~*.

 dec*

has just been a marathon of movies and getting into a holiday mood which includes listening to my annual winter playlist 

here's my dec tracks  

【december, 2014 - exo】

i spoke about this in my first ever blog entry but i love exo's winter songs ヘ(°￢°)ノbest winter discography since they cover a wider variety of genre for the theme of christmas/winter

【winter rose - TVXQ】

smrookies stage actually put me on but i love the original version^^

【happy merry christmas - PD 101 Japan】

this song puts me in an indescribably good mood cause it's just straight up クリスマスパーティー vibes like celebrating christmas in jpn with your friends at a karaoke bar...i prefer the survival show ver. more than jo1 ver. so i linked it (笑) ♬

【fa la la - justin bieber】

Yes....my cousin used to be a huge belieber when i was a kid so every year this album is on repeat annually (for the past 13 years)

【snow halation - μ】

#nocaptionneeded

...enjoying winter

slight changes (◕ .  ◕ *)

finally got a haircut like the inspo pic i shared after growing my hair out for a while~ haven't had heavy layers in a while but i also got side bangs (will try to style them for a picture but haven't had the time to do so (^^;)

went darker for winter by using a bubble dye for the first time cause i saw this at the grocery and grabbed the last two boxes...however it faded quicker than i thought

i also bought another digicam

 it was $300

pink tax is real but i'm lucky enough to receive a very generous...tuition refund that hit my bank acc so it feels like a gift card (plus i spent a week deciding what i should spend it on) worth using on a canon ixy 90f (｡･･｡//)

happy holidays

i didn't do anything but laze around (again) and watch movies back to back but i did try to get into the festive mood by getting my nails done

winter nail  i had another  metal decal on my other hand 

based on this inspo 

after my friend did them we just checked out her sonny angel collection and watched old videos we filmed together when we were in middle school while dying cause we filmed almost anything on my ds and old macbook (+ old snapchat memories)

in addition, some items that i finally

forwarded over from korea arrived ପ(｡ᵔ ⩊ ᵔ｡)ଓ

~sweet essentials~

special thanks to friend nanaちゃん for the choco airpods case + wonbin purikura  and 미쁜이님 for choco polka case  (pinkchoco ver. for my iphone 12)

wonbin essential..

won my very first raffle hosted by nana (again) and got fanmade pins, more purikura sheets, and a wonbin cushion keyring ❉𓂂(◕ ˳ ◕... ) and received a very nice letter which makes me want to start penpals [Think]

very wonbin-styled packaging★ now he is free...

and something i've been waiting on for a while,

my squishy bun stickers 

only bought two sheets just cause it's mainly for collection (and i'd have no idea where to use them since these are very warm brownish-orange which is not my usual..)

and this panda keychain i found cute^^

bought some other things like a korilakkuma tin pencil case, L cushion keychain, and some saiki k keychains, will most likely take better pictures next yr XD

for christmas,

i was supposed to celebrate with my cousins

(was supposed to be us)

but i caught the flu...

it passed on from my mom → dad → me and by the time it was the day before i was already feeling the symptoms so i couldn't attend  and had to skip out on christmas activities (especially since my (new) niece will be there) so i've been focusing on getting my health back up since i've been getting more sick this past year 

it's a lot worse then i expected

i'm still typing this blog entry while recovering but this actually made me want to care for my well being since i had really bad chills and aches the first few days and stomach pain where i kept passing out and waking up from the pain (⸝⸝''^  ̫  ^)

susu literally not giving af

all we did was watch beastars for the first time (no comment) and i ate mashed potatoes for the past few days （；￣ェ￣） not a great time

&big boss at the kuma den due to gloomy weather (me and my friends named him that cause he's the ringleader of the cats in my neighborhood. and he scratched my mom twice from not feeding him early enough)

in the end,

i've been thinking about some small and big changes i plan on making happen throughout next year that i hope to accomplish \_へ(▭-▭;)taps powerpoint slide

 《my spacehey wrapped》

one of my goals in 2024 was to blog at least every month

《...》

so i've managed to blog every month

it's been two years since i've made this blog and i think i've gotten a lot better at blogging, formatting, and even the way i talk/present myself (at least online) has changed [nod] but i can say surely that this is positive growth^^ i keep thinking i haven't made any changes but as i reached my 20s..change is a lot quicker than i thought and i can't keep up _￠(･ω･｀) plus the things i swore i couldn't bring myself to do (post my designs online, make youtube videos, and taking more pride in my work) are things i've naturally overcome~

《naturally..》

《in the future》

i hope to blog more instead of monthly, but here and there like i did formerly^^ so many cool web materials out in the world and it would be cool to use different ones each time

《until the end of 2025...》

 minimal spending (Real)

haven’t been spending as much this later half which is good but it’s still more than i expected so i’m going to continue being more mindful with what i buy and shift my mindset into being more strict with things i don't need…

good thing is that i’m starting to appreciate what i already have more even if my videos were mainly hauls (^_^;) my room is more color-palette restricted too since i just won’t buy anything that doesn’t match

 health  and work life balance

this is my Okay so there’s this 56 year old here moment but just realized my schedule/life in general becomes manageable when i’m also feeling my best…not to say that the rest of my intended career will be staring in front of opened illustrator and photoshop (it probably will) so it’s up to me to counteract flat-butt-syndrome after sitting on a chair staring in front of a screen all day

 more hobbies φ(´ω｀●)

the rock climbing and pickleball wave for those post-grad in their early 20s is real (and in proximity) but me and my gals have been interested in taking up crafty hobbies such as taking ceramics or attending workshops^^ hope to try out more things~~aside from planning future videos i just want to be out more lolol

 leveling up craft

i’ve always been interested in 3d rendering (and product design) but didn’t get any opportunities to properly learn cause it’s not in graphic design curriculum so i at least want to make one tangible thing this upcoming year!! so many mediums i want to explore and do (*^^*) and some other things that were popular in the 2000s to early 2010s

some have a tutorial so i linked it for the molang + sweets deco

 read more books..((*゜Д゜)ゞ”

Off screen...is apparently a big thing for me right now and i'd rather have sns time be more controlled instead of doomscrollingㅋ luckily i've piled a list of recommendations that i'll try to visit and read at a cafe or at the comfort of my own home (Girl who doesn't think she's a vibe if she went outside with earphones and a physical book ←)

let's start the year off gently ꜀(.  ̫ .  ꜆)꜄”

may 2025 be rewarding 

please take care and see you soon,
