house

i've been working on the album pages for the site all day~ i'm so happy, they're coming along so well. i even added a little dsi soundtrack playlist to the site for vibes (and it helps to have some ambience while i work on the site and reload it, like, a million times). 

it has the strangest problem though. like the yabuki fansite, it also has a problem with the url not loading properly... so if you reload a page at times, it instead sends you back to whatever url is recorded. i can't understand why that is. tried asking a relative of mine who worked on websites for a living, and she couldn't figure it out either. cod. and the thing is, the problem doesn't exist on mobile? but mobile looks ugly obvi, so.

(real talk, i wrote this before school ended. after school i fell asleep until midnight kelp)

trig identities

pretty good day today. classes were light, i think i did pretty well on my math test, and i got some boba and lumpia~ also worked on my site more, started adding pages for their albums! i feel as if the site needs more, like more info and stuff, but i can't really think of anything right now. 

maybe when i'm ready to share it, i'll ask my friendos for their opinions! 

out of tune

today was another pretty boring day. i have a math test tomorrow, so i have to study for that... but nothing notable's been happening. my brain's super empty however-- somehow it's hard for me to string sentences together and focus. maybe i should go to bed. 

about today's sotd. i was going through some of the suggested songs for my vampirism playlist again, and it popped up. i am absolutely not lying when i say that the moment the song started, i fell in love with it. totally. the piano, it reminded me of the one in my grandmother's home, and the simple chords in the beginning made me think of playing it, and how light and carefree it felt at the time. 

i also thought of the beaches of my home, how they look on cloudy and rainy days. the pale, almost grey water. in general, it reminded me of cold days. the air's always sweet in your lungs, whispers of dew on the leaves of trees.

but so melancholy, too. lost love. wood with peeling paint / polish, an empty home with wildflowers growing between the planks in the floor. i adore it so.

take these chances

busy day, but in the procrastination sense. instead of doing work, i tried chipping away at my new spacehey layout (adjusting the stickers was an absolute pain, but they're up) and the site. both are slowing down a bit, which makes me anxious, but i think it's moreso because of my emotional state than anything.

barely two days back into school and i'm already a mess, haha. 

explored mercari today, mainly curious abt kat-tun stuff. first time i've looked at that site, and they have so much cool kat-tun stuff! especially old merch, and magazines, and photos. i'm really tempted... but i must stay diligent in my saving habits! especially because i just got these cds, haha.

hands over ears

not doing so hot right now, but overall the first day back to school went well. don't really have any homework, so i'm going to work on coding projects to calm myself down (which really seems counterintuitive, but whatevs). especially the march layout. i know i said it was practically done already, but then i changed my mind again and came up with another idea again. so. i'm doing that.

anyway. been listening to a lot of foster the people lately. i wonder why. maybe i should buy one of their cds! but which one~

confidence fading with youth

february's coming to a close already-- i'm not excited to return to school tomorrow. but it must be faced.

funnily enough, i listened to a really good song that captures my feelings about everything. i had it in my playlists for a while, but never took a chance to listen closer until now, making lunch for myself in the (once in a blue moon) quiet kitchen. 

it's today's sotd-- ask yourself by foster the people.

oh my cod, another late post! i'm so sorry. time has been passing so fast recently. it's running out...

went to the library today, picked up a couple of interesting baking books. i thought a book i placed on hold was ready, but it wasn't~ can't wait to read it tho, i previewed it in the bookstore and loved it, but don't have the money to pay for the full thing right now.

meant to do homework, but i didn't. instead i started on the fansite, which is actually looking better than i thought it would. but now i'm having second thoughts, and considerations... cod. i really should have done everything earlier!!! (flashbacks to that one blog post that said doing nothing was okay sometimes-- well it wasn't this time!!! ack!!!)

conflicted...

oh my codddd this is coming in so late. honestly, i don't really have anything to talk about today (or, tonight really). i practically just watched dramas all day and did nothing, lolz. but i did have some yummy pancakes! with nutella and strawberries of course~

honestly, i love nutella so much. who came up with something so delicious, that goes with so many foods perfectly? i may feel my cavities deepening with each chew, but i think it's totally worth it... *sob*

strange day

today passed by strangely quickly. i spent a lot of time wandering around the library (the computers weren't open and i didn't bring my laptop because i knew i'd get distracted too easily) and picked up some light books. then i had lunch, which was a surprisingly huge portion for the price (and was super yummy).

anyway. about today's song, briefly. isn't it so cuuuuuute? you're set into the sweet mood instantly with the whistling and lighthearted bgm, and their lovely synchronized voices~ and the lyrics are sweet as well, a classic confession song! i like the vibes of the mv as well, clean and futuristic in that 2000s way. is it part of the signal single?

part of me thinks the futurism fits them well, but i know it's not meant to be... they had the rowdy boy concept for a long time before then, right? because of their history...

well. the main plan i had this week sort of fell through. but i spent today cutting out fabric for the doll. again. sort of restarting, but i don't mind. it's nice to not look at screens so often, as much as i hate to admit it~ and the new hair pieces are turning out really well. i bet he's gonna look sooooo adorable! 

detailing

today was nice. i went out and checked out another local fabric store, which had some of the most beautiful prints i'd ever seen. i want to buy them all, but i have no ideas... *boohoo*... i also got a couple of buttons for doll eyes, but they were so expensive... i must use them...

also walked around a bit, went to a shoreline i haven't in a few years. that was beautiful as well. the water was pale and sparkling, and there were many birds and squirrels. the tide was super low, enough to walk further than one normally could. i didn't, though-- i didn't anticipate going to the shoreline in the first place and didn't wear the best pants / shoes for it. i did get to go out on a walkway, though, and found lots of shells (that i also didn't take). 

thinking about it, i really missed the smell of briny water. it's really calming, somehow. called all the dreamy details of living in the forest into question, unless one can live in the forest and by the sea somehow?

a day of beauty, however brief...

tried embroidery for the first time today. unexpectedly frustrating? but it looks nice so far, so i can't be too upset. especially considering that i chose something harder than i should have...

deep sighs

had a lazy day today, mostly watching shows. it's actually been a fairly long time since i watched any kdrama for this long, but it's nice to return to them and have fun. put together a little carrd too, following a tutorial. it's gonna have a basic overview of myself, and all my sites because honestly? they're hard to keep track of nowadays.

like, oh yeah, i have that... oh, i have that too... and that, and this thing i forgot about... ohhhh there's this as well... even if i use them often, i forget!

cleaned up some of my old kpop stuff, considering what to do with them other than store them. while thinking of that time makes me feel a little pained, it's also... strangely fun to look back at everything and admire it all. it all brought me to where i am now, so i can't be too mad anyway.

looking forward to this weekend. can't wait to see what fun things i might do. (also hoping i finish my homework, but that's not fun lolz.)

pass by

spent most of today putting together a mix for my friend, since her bday is coming up soon. it was a lot of fun, actually, especially since i spent it looking through all the old liked songs and albums i had stowed away. brought back a lot of memories and happy feelings, even though the day was honestly a little strange...

may i ramble about exo-sc for a moment?

happy valentine's day! the first valentine's day on this blog, teehee~ 

my friends loved the lava cakes!!!! i'm so grateful for them :'3 and i guess the cds were my valentine's gift to myself, hehe. honestly, even though i don't have anyone, it's really cute to see everyone with gifts and wearing valentine's colors. really brings the mood up, i think.

a week-long break's coming up... not sure what to do, but i wanna tour a college with my friendo. we'll see if we can make that happen. really have to cross my fingers, considering... but if we can't go there, maybe we can go somewhere else! it just all depends, i guess.

about today's sotd... it has been on repeat inside my brain since i first heard it yesterday! ugh, all the songs are so amazing. my second cd also came in a few hours ago, so hopefully it will be just as amazing~

stars in the hills

just came back from a school event, which was really nice. the weather was amazing, i got to chat to a few people, and picked up some nice treats.

i got to listen to the entire cd too, and i love all the songs! they're all so good, and such high quality i could cry... i will be listening to it for the next week. so in love~ 

thankfully homework has been slowing down a bit, so i'll be able to start on the site super soon. used a layout template/builder to get the base, and now all i have to do is edit what i need and add stuff. i also have to do some other things in terms of logistics (if that's the word that fits), but other than that, the project's going along well.

off to bake some lava cakes for my friends for tomorrow. read ya later~

aaaaaaaa???

my first kat-tun cd came in today!!!!! i'm so happy~ (even though it was delivered literally 24 hours after finding out they're going to disband--) 

it's so beautiful. so clear and shiny, the picture's like crystal, too... it's almost insane. and i'm listening to it right now~!

finally........ kat-tun in high quality is attainable...!!!

star-crossed, starstruck

today was super tiring for some reason... ended up taking a five-hour nap, which i should rlly stop doing. anyway. have some language arts stuff to get out of the way, and math, and chem of course... what else can i do~ 

rust

early out today! so i took a long nap. lolz. 

flat key

was supposed to do pre-calc and chem work today, but instead worked on my march layout... kelp

at least it looks rlly good!!!!! actually super pleased with how it turned out. still have a few tweaks to make, but overall can't wait for it to debut~ 

wax paper

a good day today! 

thoughts as of today

brain's a bit frazzled right now (didn't sleep well... at all), so i'll try to get everything in order here.

apple of my eye

y'know, i used to not like eating apples for a while. and by a while, i mean like...a good nine years. but lately, i've been eating them a lot-- they're really tasty and i like the texture. i wonder what prompted this change. 

twist

just found out kame is leaving kat-tun... but because of how central he is to the group, and the fact that there's only two members (or one, really), isn't this the end of kat-tun?

well, i'm glad i became a fan before... i can't help but be sad because of the 20 year debut anniversary approaching next year, and i sort of wanted to see if there would be any fan activity i could participate in as a new hyphen. but every ending is also a new beginning, right? waaahhh... i wonder what they will do next... (only kame and ueda tho)

drizzle

ack!!! it's raining so hard rn, my jeans got soaked... at least it's relaxing to listen to, and i actually like the rain lolz. as compared to the hot post-summer (but somehow pre-autumn) sun!!!!!!!!! ew!

bound by

i don't see them much, but fictional anthologies are really fascinating. 

lounge

cozy day today. i finished a book, and did some english work that's been nagging at me. we're currently reading this book that... between you and i? isn't... that... great. so getting through it is honestly sort of a slog, but i can't be too upset. at least, we're not having whole class discussions or debates. i'd be terrified. though, i do wonder what i'd be reading / learning now if i decided to go for the ap lit class this year. i'm sort of regretting it, but i know i've never really found many classic books i liked either, so.

also had pancakes!!!! with nutella and strawberries!!! they were heavenly. lolz. too bad i didn't eat them while watching gokusen ii... that would've been funny~

also also have been doing some browsing online. i sort of want to shop, so i'm looking at books and cool hats, and some other trinkets and stuff for my devices. and now that feb's here, i really have to start thinking about valentine's day plans. the week after is a full week off, luckily, so i also have that to consider...
