hiii guys, today marks two weeks since my last post. i don't usually go that long without posting a blog, so this is a little out of the ordinary for me.

lately, i've been kinda busy with schoolwork because the semester is coming to an end. i don't believe i have any actual final exams, but i do have some final projects and presentations that i've been working on. lots of papers and research....

also, i finished coffee prince on monday!!! it was SO good and i love how it ended. i could honestly spill my thoughts on all the characters and stuff but maybe that would be better suited for a later blog. i still miss eunchan too........... </3

this week has been kinda up and down for me tbh. my emotions have been all over the place, switching between happy to being irritated. wednesday was probably the most hectic day. i had class at 9am, and then a panel discussion to attend at 12:30. i had no idea where the room it was being held in was, so after aimlessly walking around trying to find it for a few minutes, i finally built up the courage to ask someone. (seriously tho... who decided to put a dining hall in the basement??)

the meeting went well. they fed us olive garden, but i barely ate. by the time it was over, it was almost 2pm. and right after the event, i had to drive all the way to pick my sister up from her school and take her to the hair salon for a 3pm appointment. mind you, it was like 80℉ outside, the sun was beaming, and my car's ac wasn't cooling me off AT ALL. i was already frustrated and now i'm having to rush.

i have a horrible sense of direction, so i wasn't entirely sure how to get to her school from mine so i put on directions and made sure to set them to avoid freeways bc.. terrifying. anyways, as i was driving, my phone overheated and my directions cut off, so i freaked out bc i didn't know where i was.

after a little while my phone finally turned back on, and i made it to my sister's school. it was still very hot in the car, so we rode with the windows slightly down. i knew a route to get to the salon, but made a small mistake getting into a turning lane on the road and another car honked at me... yes, it hurt my feelings.

after dropping my sister off i had a mini breakdown bc i hate driving and i hate living in this country town and i hate how i have to have a car to get everywhere. but then i came home and had a sandwich and i was okay.

shooting star

before i start talking about whatever, look at this cute blue duckie i found in the dryer earlier this week! isn't he cute? i think it might be one of my sister's many trinkets, but i'm keeping it now!

anyways, now onto actual blogging...

this week, i watched SO many old mvs and music stages. i even watched a few of those public dance perfomances (still wanna see one irl sooo badly). snsd, apink, 9muses, kara, miss a, girls' day.... even rainbow ended up in the mix somehow. idk what came over me but i just could not. stop. watching. the music. on top of that, i watched a bunch of f5ve dance practice videos. the girls are so synchronized, and it's so incredibly satisfying to watch them dance. i'm so grateful to have been blessed with two eyes to see them.

also, the dance practice video for i choose you was literally filmed on an ipod!!! not to be a total nostalgia freak, but it honestly reminded me of old k-pop dance practice videos. remember how they used to be super low quality with no camera movement, and you could hear shoes squeaking and hitting the floor? i miss that. you can watch the video here if you want. just thought i'd share~

i've also got some unfortunate news. my grandma lost her dog, clifford, yesterday. it's been very hard on our family, but especially my grandma. he was such a sweet dog, and he was supposed to live so much longer. he really was her little buddy, following her everywhere :( my grandma has had several dogs, and i've never seen her without a dog in my entire life. now she says she will not have any more dogs, and that's understandable. i just hope she will feel better soon. my mom says that while she was outside with kali a short while ago, she was looking up at the stars saying how she missed clifford and loved him so much. and right then, she saw a shooting star. (i'm getting teary-eyed now just thinking about it.. i miss him too. TT)

ah, well. besides all of that, i'm really happy that i have my good friends here. i get the best feelings when i talk with you guys! you're all so lovely and i'm so grateful to know you, seriously. ♡ i hope you all have a great weekend, and i can't wait to talk with you soon. see you then~

random, but does rock u by kara make anyone else wanna cry???

yay

today was quite a day!

first, i spent all morning working on a rough draft of a formal report for my business communication class. it's due tomorrow night at 11:59, so i've been working to finish it since thursday evening. i know i should have started on it way sooner, but i didn't and now i'm suffering the consequences. lesson learned, lol.

next, i took down my hair! i'm getting it straightened on tuesday, and i'm quite excited to have a new hairstyle. i wonder how much it's grown.

also, i finally started coffee prince and eunchan is such a cutieeee ♡ she's so whimsical, fun, reliable, and hardworking. and hangyul is... well, he's quite a character. i like the two of them together tho, what a cool duo. 

i really need hansung and yoojoo to get their situation together too... they looked so cute together in the past and i need more on their story. guys can we reconcile, maybe...?

i folded my laundry while watching the second episode, and when it was over, i was planning to watch the third but i only got two free episodes on kocowa. so unfortunately, i had to fold the rest of my laundry in silence. i think i can watch the rest on amazon prime tho!! i'll see~

before i go, i wanted to let you know that i've made cookies. here's one for you! 🍪

so, how has your weekend been so far? have you done anything interesting?

i think i'll go do some coding now, or maybe go to sleep.. but anyways, i hope to talk with you guys very soon, byebye~!!

outside influence

ughh i can't stand being out in my backyard!!! these carpenter bees are terrifying.

for context, my backyard has a pergola (i had to look it up bc i forgot what they were called) and carpenter bees like to hover around it so they can chew holes in the wood and nest there.

if you have ever seen carpenter bees before, they are huge and noisy. people say they're harmless and just curious creatures, but that NEVER mattered to me. a bee is a bee, so i stay away from them as much as possible, even if it means running around my backyard like a maniac.

today my dad texted and asked me to turn off the hose at a specific time, right? so i set an alarm and went outside at that time, only to be met with not one, but TWO bees. one is near the door, while the other is near the faucet... which is where i need to get to so i can turn off the hose.

lucy and kali came out with me, and at first, i was glad lucy came bc she's the best bee killer i know! i've seen her jump up, grab the bees in her mouth, and then spit them out before. but this time she wasn't doing her job. every time i would run away from the bees, she would jump up and bite ME 😭 like??? i am not playing with you!!!!

in a short time, it became very chaotic out there.

every time the bee near the faucet flew away for a second, i ran up to the faucet to try to screw it off before he came back. at one point, i was over by the faucet and the bee came back and we were staring at each other. i literally pleaded for the bee not to come any closer while i unknowingly turned the handle the WRONG WAY. tbf, you can't really think straight when you're scared...

i sprayed the water towards the bee a few times, and he darted upwards, but he just wouldn't leave. the dogs kept trying to play in the water and drink it, and i was getting so frustrated.

after getting my clothes wet, soaking the pavement, and almost tripping over my dogs as i attempted to escape the bees, i eventually managed to shut off the hose. i wanna say it took me about ten minutes. but i did it!!

so yeah... that was my outside experience today.

on another note, i was looking through my blogs earlier and saw i had more comments than i remembered on my reminisce blog. i opened it and saw i had gotten two comments from some anonymous account.

obviously i have no clue who it is, and i'm very confused. like, what's with all the emojis and hearts? although, it's probably just someone from spacehey who clicked on my blogspot link.

but!!! i also feel like it could be my last partner or one of his friend's messing with me. i know he liked to troll people, especially people he wasn't very fond of. so what if this is all some joke? at the same time tho.. that'd be pretty childish. no one should care that much about me to do that, especially after all these months.

i don't know u guys... kinda concerned rn.

if they respond to me saying who they are, then that would be much appreciated bc this is NOT secret share. tell me who you are.

talk soon my friends, i love you both!!

arirang: my thoughts

so the bts comeback was today! i watched the mv for swim and listened to the entire album. as stated in the title, this post will be my thoughts on everything.

in all honesty, i wasn't a big fan of the album. i didn't feel anything. i've been a fan of bts since late 2018, and i've seen them transition through many different styles over the years. the truth is that bts doesn't have a set genre. they're always trying new things, and arirang is a new sound they are experimenting with.

and yk, maybe i'm just completely blinded by nostalgia, but bts' music has always managed to make me feel something. their songs held meaning, and they were memorable. i could play them over and over and never get tired.

for example, outro: wings is such an energizing song. every time i listen to it, i feel like i'm ascending. and anpanman is so fun!! the instrumental has to be one of my favorites. spring day and butterfly make me so emotional, and they're such beautiful songs.

but with this album... i didn't get any of that. sure, the beat in "body to body" had me moving a little bit, and i liked the arirang part. "merry go round" was pretty good, too. but overall, none of the songs really resonated with me.

the mv for swim was also kinda confusing to me. in the video, there's a girl walking through this museum type building, and she comes across a ship sitting in a glass box. in the next scene, she wakes up and she's with all the members on a ship (like the kind you see in pirate movies). they're dressed up as shipmen and they're following her around. at the end, she steps up on this platform or whatever and ends up back in the building she started in. only this time, she's soaked with water. the credits roll.

also guys, please don't attack me but i just found out who lili reinhart was today. i had no idea who she was when i first watched the mv, and i was in the gc with my sister and cousins like "who is this white lady in the mv.." apparently, lili is supposed to represent army? idk, i feel like they could've had multiple people of different backgrounds, bc army is very diverse.. but i digress.

anyways, there are lots of mixed opinions online. some people absolutely loved the album, others hated it, and some people are just in the middle (like me). i feel like SOME kpop fans are veryyyy protective of their faves, and any criticism about their idols or the music is automatically perceived as hate. some fans act like it's illegal to not like everything an artist puts out. like it's okay guys!! people don't have to like everything!!! it doesn't make them any less of a fan if they don't like it. but what do you guys think?

bts will always be dear to my heart, so i'm willing to give the album a second listen. i think i just need more time to sit with the music. i may come back with a new post about it, so stay tuned~

i hope everyone has an amazing weekend. i wanna wish a happy birthday to koi, and a happy spring break to eugene!!!! i love you guyssss !!!!! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

silliness and discoveries

i didn't have any classes today, so things were pretty relaxed. it was like i got an extra day of spring break, hehe~

i spent my morning doing schoolwork, then i watched youtube for a while. we got a thunderstorm today as well, and i think it rained for around two hours straight. it's supposed to be rainy again tomorrow, but probably not as much as today. i've also got a presentation in my marketing class tomorrow.. >_<

earlier, i got bored and decided to reorganize my pinterest boards a bit. i ended up combining all of my kpop gg boards into one single board bc i feel like my profile is less cluttered that way.

during my reorganization, i heard these loud noises from downstairs. it sounded like stuff was falling. i heard my dad hollering, and my sister laughing. i immediately got up to go see what was going on and i realized that things were pretty out of control. i saw my dad standing in front of the fridge, frantically trying to grab ice cubes as they fell out of the ice machine. idk HOW that happened but once he opened the fridge, it stopped. extremely weird, but funny.

on top of that, i was trying to brush my teeth a while ago and i had just put the toothpaste on my toothbrush. i like to wet my toothbrush again after applying toothpaste, and so i did that and shook the brush, then the entire thing of toothpaste flew right off the brush. like ??? i was so baffled.

so yeah. those are some events that occurred for me today! i'll talk about some discoveries now.

while i was scrolling on pinterest earlier, i came across this pin and saw it's a screenshot from naver blog. i know naver is the top search engine in korea, but i didn't know that there was a blogging site as well. it seems that naver blog allows you to customize your page and connect with others. you can browse through numerous blogs on the main page, so it's kinda like a social media site that revolves around blogging. there isn't a whole lot of privacy like there is on blogger, but i'm curious about it. what do you guys think? have you used the site before?

and lastly... i want an mp3 player. i've been seeing ads for the innioasis y1 on tiktok and it's so cute.. the pink one is finally available on the tiktok shop and they're like $60-$70. i've never owned an mp3 player before, but they've always been so cool to me. maybe i can get one for my birthday. hoping...

well then, would you look at the time? it's already 11pm, so i will wrap it up here. i hope everyone had a good day, and that the week ahead is kind to you. byebyeee~

youth is never coming back

haiiii how are u? :3

i’ve been thinking a lot about my childhood the past few days and i’ve just been remembering how silly my imagination used to be.

like, whenever i would put toothpaste on my toothbrush i would pretend that i was icing a cake. (i still do this ngl..) and whenever i ate broccoli, i imagined i was a giraffe eating leaves off of a tree.

and yk that circular piece on the bottom of flip flops? i used to push it out and hammer it back in with the other flip flop. i was an amazing cobbler.

i also used to “ice skate” by sliding around on the floor tiles in my socks. and speaking of ice, my best friend from elementary school and i used to reenact scenes from frozen at recess. i was always anna bc my friend was blonde so it just made sense for her to be elsa. however, i think i got to be elsa once, and we were acting out the reprise scene and i “froze her heart” and i remember turning around and seeing her on the ground clutching her chest. it was so dramatic and funny.

when my family visited hotels my sister and i just HAD to play office workers. we would pretend to call each other on the phones and write nonsense on those little notepads.

alright.. this one may sound weird but my sister and i used to pretend a witch was cooking us in a soup during bathtime. and we would go around in circles as if she was stirring the pot.

another time, we pretended that we were shipwrecked (we were in an empty bathtub btw) with only popcorn to eat. we made a whole video on my mom’s phone bro. i’m still so embarrassed of that video bc all you hear is CRUNCHING. like what was our issue omg 😭

and yes. i was a kid who used to pretend to drown in the pool to see if anyone would care. so what if i knew how to swim? this is a test and everyone failed.

nowadays, i just pour soda into the lid of the bottle and pretend i’m doing shots. and i hate alcohol! my parents saw me doing it the other day and were very confused. but idc it’s so much fun.

i know i did so many other things as a kid, those are just a few of them! maybe i’ll share more childhood memories in the future, lol.

so, what was your imagination like as a child?

recent activities

haiii cutie pies~!

it's quite late, but that short nap i took earlier is probably what's keeping me awake now. still, i'll try to sleep after i post this... maybe. anywaaaays, how are you guys doing? :D

personally, i've been doing okay. i didn't have any classes yesterday, so i didn't have to do my group presentation, hehe :3 but now i'll be thinking about it over spring break.. eeeek.

besides thinking about school, i'm planning to deep clean my room next week! i need to do my laundry, clean out my armoire and closet, vacuum, and get someone to fix my curtains. i also wanna rearrange all my stuffed animals so they aren't just piled up on my chair. a few years ago, i used to place them all around me and i would sleep in the center. it was so cozy, and i wonder if i could do that again.

also guys, i drove myself to my own dentist appointment this week~ however, it was not fun. (is the dentist ever fun, tho??) i really dislike getting x-rays, it's so uncomfy :( and um. i have a few small cavities but i will go and get them fixed this week. i have two appointments on wednesday and thursday, so hopefully everything goes well.

i also started working on a layout for april. i spent a majority of the time struggling with border image sizing, but i'm excited to see what i may do with the layout. i wanna create a very minimalistic layout, saving only the important stuff. there isn't a whole lot that i can say about it right now, but we will see what happens!

and lastly, you guys know i gotta talk about music. currently, i'm at a very 2nd generation k-pop girl group time in my life. nine muses, miss a, and kara are taking over my ears. heavy on nine muses. i JUST recently managed to stop walking around my house mumbling the lyrics to no playboy. what will my next song obsession be?? stay tuned :0

well! i think that's enough rambling for tonight. i'll be on my merry way now, but i hope u guys are doing amazing. nighty night, i love uuuu~

trip & tune

any life, any galaxy, i choose you every time.

haiii :3 saturday was such a long day, i’m so tired.

originally, my siblings and i were supposed to stay at home while my parents went out to bring back my new car (it’s red btw, i like it!) but they decided to let us go too. this meant that the dogs were left home alone.

the drive there was a little over 3 hours and we got mcdonald’s bc my parents and sister had visited last thursday and said it was the best mcdonald’s they had ever had.

it was not as amazing as they made it seem today tho.

afterwards, we also ended up visiting family friends and seeing their new home. then we hopped back on the road again. we stopped at another restaurant on the way back and they were playing omg by newjeans.. maybe the employees are bunnies.

so yeah. i spent a bunch of time riding around, listening to music, and eating. i was very happy to finally get home to my doggies after so long~

i WAS gonna let kali sleep with me in my room, but she started acting crazy, biting at her leg and turning around in circles on MY BED. then my brother walked in and started playing with her, making her act worse.. i told him to stop, but it was too late. kali jumped up and pushed him back, and my tv fell over.

so, kali is now in her kennel. 🙂 maybe another night.

also, music!!! f5ve has been on repeat for me a LOT lately. i like a handful of their songs, but i can’t choose a favorite.. and the mvs. ughh i love them. some are so simple, and filmed in one location. and they are amazing!! do you guys listen to them?

i could go on and on about them, but it’s almost midnight. maybe i’ll talk more about them in a separate blog! we’ll see. anyways, i should be going to bed now. night night~!

- nara ❤︎

glued to u

hello hello, i'm writing this from my mom's laptop hehe~ how are u guys doing?? are u ready for february? i think i am, maybeeee..

i spent most of today out with my family. we went to go look at a car, and everyone else liked it but me. my parents want me to have a small suv, something higher off the ground. my last car was pretty low to the ground, but i felt more comfortable in it. i guess i was just too used to driving it. i just miss it and it's hard to think about different ones. uguhghghhhh :c

other than thinking about cars.. i've been okay. it's soooo freaking cold out tho. the wind hurts my skin and brings chills to my bones. i even saw some snow flurries this morning! but sadly, no snow.

i've been working on my layout a bit for the swap. i still have a ways to go with it, but i'm excited to see how it will turn out when it's all done~ happy early palentine's day (bc we're friends!)

i've been watching a lot of tv lately... particularly pbs kids. i put it on for my dogs when i leave for class and when i'm sitting downstairs with them during the day but atp i'm the audience. idk what it is but i'll be sitting down looking at the screen and before i know it i've watched an entire episode. and the shows are super good and educational. yesterday i learned about ruth bader ginsburg from a show called xavier riddle and the secret museum. and just the other i learned about pabitin from jelly, ben & pogo. the odd squad was also pretty funny. i watched an episode where they brought a band back together after breaking up.

once while i had the tv playing tho, this one show called donkey hodie came on and it reminded me of this show from my childhood called jack's big music show. i literally never see anybody talking about it in those nostalgia compilations online. it's always shows like ni hao kai lan and yo gabba gabba (loved those 2 btw, don't get me wrong).

anyways. enough about pbs kids. let me tell u what got me MAD yesterday.

so u guys know i love my corny k-webdramas. i saw on cheezefilm's channel about a girl who kissed her bsf so i clicked on it. basically there was pretty girl named jihye who really liked her friend dasom, and a rumor went around school that they were lovers even tho they weren't. so dasom didn't wanna be around jihye anymore, but eventually she missed her and they ended up happily together. (jihye wanted to name their future child dahye, so cute~)

and everything was going fine until the MAN showed up. he came to jihye bc she had dropped her wallet and ended up asking for her number and she GAVE it to him. eventually she ended up telling dasom "i like you but i have a boyfriend.." and dasom slapped her and told her to never face her again.

then they broke up and jihye went off with her little boyfriend... then ig they got married and jihye became pregnant. but then!!! jihye and dasom coincidentally met at a bridge and hugged. the end.

i was very disappointed bc why couldn't the girls have a happy ending??? like. why did the man have to even show up. it ruined my mood fr, but oh well.

this was quite a lengthy post, so i should probably wrap it up here. talk to u guys soon!!

- nara ❤︎

better

haiiiiiii i hope u guys are doing good :3 yesterday was okay for me!

i was and still am very sore tho. everything hurts, but i got some medications from the pharmacy and i’ve been taking it easy for the most part.

obviously i couldn’t go to school, so i stayed home and it was nice. lucy and kali drove me a little crazy, but it was okay nonetheless. (haha “drove”.. ugh i miss my car :c)

i also had to do an assignment for my marketing class where i had to come up with a unique specialty drink for a pet-friendly coffee shop. my idea was a frappuccino with dried flowers (roses, jasmine, or hibiscus) mixed in the coffee. and for dogs, a small cup of whipped cream with dried roses bc i read that roses are safe for dogs. idk if the drink would even taste good irl but i was so proud of it! i called it a “flowerbloom frappuccino / frappawccino (for dogs). u guys know i love alliteration ~

since i have no laptop, i used my ipad a lot today, and i went on pinterest a couple times. now i want a chunky pink keyboard with cute little stickers on the keys and one of those pink vaio laptops. ARGDHH i just want a cutesy pink bedroom and cute gadgets and accessories rn!!!! >:0

speaking of room decor, would u say ur room matches ur personal style? do u have a say in how u decorate it?

ANYWAYS. i’m sorry for rambling, i just have many thoughts at the moment and lots of things i wanna say~

before i go, i just wanna say thank u guys sososoooo much for all ur messages of love and support. i appreciate u guys forever. ur just the sweetest friends and i’m so thankful to have such amazing people in my life.

have a great weekend, and i hope to talk soon.

shattered

i got into a car accident earlier tonight.

i was driving home from school around 6:30pm or so and i was going down the same route i always go every day.

now, this road is a dark backroad so it can be kinda hard to see at night. the infrastructure in my city isn’t the best rn to say the least.

anyways, as i was coming down the road i saw another car coming in the opposite direction. the car then drifted over the double yellow lines and hit me. thankfully there was a guardrail there that kept me from rolling into the ditch/creek below.

my airbag deployed, and both my car and the other person’s car were totaled. i lost my freaking car. it was a college gift from my grandma and i’m so sad :(

apparently the other driver had a seizure and passed out behind the wheel. i’m kinda skeptical abt that now bc she was able to get right out of the car fully conscious and speak with the police. but anyways, she was eventually taken to the hospital.

luckily i wasn’t seriously injured at all. i was just a bit bruised and shaken up. my mom took me to urgent care and they said i would be sore for a few days. i think i can already feel my neck acting up >:[

i also lost my laptop. it’s all cracked now, so i’m having to type this on my phone lol.

i’m just thankful to be alive. things could have gone so much worse.

the new

it feels like an eternity since i last posted.

in all honesty, i have not been busy in the slightest. i was just too lazy to type a post...

but i think it's time for an update! i'll start with school to get the boring stuff out of the way.

so, school. it's been going okay, and being a business student is pretty chill. i have 5 classes (1 is online) and they're all in the same building! and get this... i have ONE (1) hardcopy textbook. mind u, i had 9 hardcopy textbooks last semester and maybe only used like one of them (barely..)

my professors and classmates are cool, too. all of my classes consist of discussion, something i wasn't very accustomed to coming from science lectures. it's nice to sit in a classroom for once and not have a professor talking at u for fifty minutes.

i think the most annoying thing is that i have late classes from 5:30-6:45 monday-thursday, but luckily the professors don't keep us the whole time. so it's fine.

so all in all, i like this new path. moving on~

my mom, sister, and i cleaned the downstairs area of our house today. it was so dusty omg. i vacuumed, wiped down the stairs and some tabletops, loaded our NEWWWW DISHWASHERRRR!!!! (it came on wednesday btw) and helped my mom mop. it was exhausting.

anyways, i've been listening to a lot of music lately. apink recently had a comeback, and it was pretty good. the mv for "love me more" was really cute.

speaking of music, have u guys heard of tomatomat? i got distracted in the middle of typing this post and started rewatching their mvs. the three songs that they have put out so far are so cuteee!!!! "mushroom house"  and "collect call garage" sound like a cute videogame soundtracks. i really wanna try to recreate the vibes in my new layout.. glossy gradients, pixel fonts, pink, blue, green. aaah, so much to think about.

well, enough rambling on and on about things. i've missed u guys, and i hope ur doing well. having a nice weekend? let me know when we talk soon, luv ya~

kowadan (2013) review

hi hi !! tonight i'll be doing my first movie review.

so, a few weeks ago i came across a few clips from a horror movie called Kowadan: Horror High School, and when i pulled up the full movie i found out that it's actually an anthology of horror stories.

honestly, none of the stories were that scary and i actually got bored and turned it off near the end. however, what originally convinced me to watch it was the story of yuna and crazy stalker girl, haru.

i'll summarize and show screenshots i took hehe~

so, yuna is a normal girl who lives with her mom and her adorable dog, seru. she meets a girl named haru on a message board and they decide to meet bc they both wanna be makeup artists. after talking in a cafe for a bit, they go to a park and haru does yuna's makeup for her. they become good friends and start hanging out, and haru gifts yuna with a makeup box, which yuna is hesitant to accept. just then, yuna is contacted by an old friend named maruko. this apparently makes haru mad and she knocks a cup of juice onto yuna.

haru tells yuna to go clean herself in the bathroom, and while yuna is gone she DELETES every contact except her own from yuna's phone. (also guys, isn't yuna's bear charm so cute??)

later on, maruko calls yuna and asks about some strange messages she received from her, but yuna hadn't sent them. (spoiler: it was haru trying to break yuna and maruko up). yuna also confronts haru about the missing contacts but haru says she did not do it. i think haru then asks to hang out, but yuna says she has "something important" and takes seru on a walk instead.

as yuna and seru are out on the walk, haru approaches them and she is NOT happy. i just took screenshots of the scene bc it was kinda funny to me, lol. (i'm sorry the photos are such bad quality...)

anyways, the following scene made me so mad. all i'm gonna say is that when yuna woke up the next morning, seru was no longer there. only the collar remained.

i assume yuna told her mother and her mother was so angry and wanted to call the cops. right then, haru called the house phone and yuna's mom was like "DO NOT CALL MY DAUGHTER!" then stormed out of the room. then haru called AGAIN and this time yuna picked up and was basically yelling "we're not friends anymore, don't contact me!"

HOWEVERRR!! haru said she wanted that makeup box back. so yuna went to the park to drop it off, but found a photograph of her MOTHER with a bloody red X on it. so she rushed home and found her mom.. and it was quite a graphic scene so i won't describe.

then haru enters the room and the story ends.

guys, i really need to stop watching all of these crazy movies. i need wholesome media in my life, but the crazy things always seem to initially catch my attention. "( – ⌓ – )

when alone

so… i’m the top naoko gushima listener on youtube apparently.

i’m only seeing this badge 2 days later, and honestly i didn’t even know youtube had badges, but YIPPEEE~!

while on the topic of music, have u guys ever heard of the girl group c-real? i listened to a few of their songs yesterday from the Round 1 EP. “No No No No No” has definitely been played more than once, lol. it seems they were only active from 2011-2012, tho :[

moving on now from music to… movies?? yes, i actually sat down and watched a movie by myself last night. and it was.. uh. it was definitely a movie. it was a japanese horror movie from 2012 called Shady.

i won’t go into too much detail bc it was kinda disturbing, but basically, two bullied and lonely high school girls become best friends but one is lowkey insane. oh, and the teacher is a creep.

moral of the story: be wary of who you allow to be ur friend.

well, i hope u guys have a great rest of ur day. i hope my movie summary didn’t ruin anything for u, lol. there’s another movie i’m interested in watching, so maybe i’ll do a review on that one if it isn’t too bad.

i love u guys, talk soon~!!

bad but good

hello hello~! i hope u guys are doing good these days. the title was a miss A reference btw.

unfortunately, i start school again on wednesday and i'm not very excited at all. this break was great and much needed, i just don't want it to be over.

i'm gonna miss u guys tho, seriously. u made my days happy and reading ur posts is something i always looked forward to when i woke up everyday! so thank u for (virtually) spending the holidays with me. GROUP HUGGG!!!!!

on a better note, i've officially joined the commuter club!! i was finally approved to live off-campus today. not only will i get to live at home full time, but it saves my family some money. i'll definitely have to wake up earlier to make sure i get to class on time, but i'm not too worried bc i've never really struggled with managing my time in the morning. (in fact, when i was in high school i used to wake up like 40mins before i got up to get dressed just so i could spend the time laying in bed on my phone...)

besides school, we've had a bunch of birthdays in my family recently! my little cousin, both my grandmas, and kali had their birthdays. my sweet kali turned one years old!! ❤︎

i've been also trying to think of ideas for a new layout, but idk! i sometimes think that if spacehey allowed layout to be posted again, i would not have much to provide, lol. maybe i need to become more of a media consumer so i can gather inspiration and ideas. what's ur guys' creative process for coming up with layouts?

OH ALSO!! i saw a news station on tiktok earlier talking about bts releasing a new album soon and i'm so excited!!! literally just the other night my sister and i were watching those "bts funny moments" videos we used to watch back in like 2018-2019. sure, the videos are quite unfunny now but they were seriously a product of their time, okay.. i miss it and i wanna go backkk :,)

anyhow, i guess i'll be going now, but i just want u guys to know i love uuuu~ please take care of yourselves, sicknesses are going around. have a safe and relaxing weekend, talk soon~!
