had a pretty good day today.
my mom wanted to check out a filipino festival that was going on today, so we went out to the big metropolitan to see it. and, uh... it wasn't that great? the food was cold and salty, and like. i know this isn't restricted to our community, but i'm getting so tired of seeing bulk dropshipped items at cultural festivals. we can do better than this and it makes me so upset. why are you seeing this event and / or your community as a way to make a quick buck using items that aren't even yours??? i don't see how this is good for us.
but idk, that's just my mind.
after that, we went to japantown. i needed to get some pictures for a video project in my korean class (to clear up any confusion, i talked about going to japantown in a writing homework which then had to be incorporated into a long script), which i was luckily able to get! and, as extra luck seemed to be on my side, i got a new bag for school. there was a little anime market going on in one of the malls, so i was able to get myself a bag from one of the artists. it's so cute, it's all purple n indigo with stars, and a bunny on the moon in the center... i also got some squares of fabric from the traditional goods store; you could get 5 for $2! and a bigger rectangle for $2! what a deal~ i plan to use it in a little shirt / sweatshirt / hoodie diy idea i have in mind.
and then after that, i got ice cream n we went home. i took a nap, ate dinner, reviewed my classmates' drafts for the writing class, chatted with my friend for a bit (hi selkie! :)), and here i am now~
i have lots of speaking projects to do this week. wish me luck... (also i'll get started on the next honeydrop island episode soon, trust!)

oh also! forgot to mention. we checked out a tea shop, and they had samples of sencha mixed with matcha. i actually sort of liked it, which is surprising. i'm more of a hojicha person.
i'm sorry to hear the festival didn't turn out so well for you, and i understand the feelings of disappointment. it's so unfortunate that some will do anything for money, even if it's selfish or harmful.
that bag sounds so cute!! and about the fabric squares, do they have any cool patterns? that's so cool you were able to get them for such good prices!
lots of luck to you on the speaking projects this week! you will do great~
it's so adorbs!!! if i get around to customizing it b4 the year starts, i'll share it~ and abt the fabric squares, i think most of them were from this spring. they're red with lots of cherry blossom, plum blossom, and wave motifs.
thank you!!! trying not to let the anxiety get to me ㅠㅠ i hope u have a good week nara~ :0
