23.12.31; ending 2023 on a high woohooooooooooo anyway all i want for 2024 is happiness and that like... pls (redact) me @ my dudes

24.01.21; and here is a real caption

the previous version of this caption was written while on the train to busan (this girl has never seen that movie) at 10pm and therefore did not have enough braincells to thoroughly reflect on the year. however, 2023 was filled with some ups and some downs, some really new experiences, some growth, and meeting some new good people. really thankful for it all and I really hope that it continues in 2024. as I mentioned, I feel like i am in a rut but that is okay. we hope to move on from it and #thrive.

[click to enlarge if needed] it’s that time of year again! 2022 has been a slow but good year overall. slow... but also a year that went by so quickly. didn’t consume as much media as I would have wanted (lots of trash tv, not many movies, and the brain wasn’t able to focus on reading a book in the second half of the year;;) but I did explore some new music! changed my hair colour a ton, and saw lots of skating (short track and figure skating!) especially in the second half of the year! I even got my first professional gig(tm) as media at skate america and interviewed my fav boy jun (aka the most stressful moment of my life!) ;;

who knows if I’ll migrate back here with twitter slowly seeing its downfall thanks to incompetent rich people but!!! one thing that will always remain is the my year in a nutshell tradition <3

see you in 2023! the first three months are looking up to be a busy (and fun) for me which is great!

so what is this about returning to tumblr because i’m a whole different person than when i last used this platform in a frequent manner

[click to enlarge if needed] emerging out of my tumblr inactivity for that one time of the year. well 2021 wasn’t much better than 2021 but it definitely picked up towards the end!! spent a lot of time at home doing nothing, got vaccinated, binged movies, left some toxicity behind, saw some friends, saw some Sights(tm), saw some her (the northern lights), carried some goats, yolo’d a skating adventure, cheered for some future olympians, and did a whole lot of the usual. hoping next year looks up!!

ps: originally the background for this was darker but changed it to white for the sake of ~it looks better with a white background on tumblr dot com~ so maybe it’ll be better to view this on twitter? but for tradition sake here we are!

happy 2021 and may 2022 be good to you all!!

[click to enlarge if needed] time to emerge from the inactive cave. let’s be real, 2020 sucked. i cherish the last moments of normalcy (trip to BANFF with friends) i had even though i watched the world crumble into chaos. 75% of the year went through a blur with select highlights that helped me cope through. While this year was different, I’m glad for those rays of light that made the darkness bearable. Let’s hope 2021 is as good as the fever dream that was destiel/putin/presidential election... but honestly, at long as 2021 is One Bar better than 2020, I’ll be happy lmao

stay at home, wear a mask, and don’t be an asshole!! happy 2021 to anyone ready this!!

apparently this blog is 10 years and a month old 

happy birthday to this blog

it’s pretty dead and i seldom come on here but happy birthday

[click to enlarge if needed] it’s the end of the year which means it’s the time for me to actually post on this platform and share a recap of my year. this is the eight edition! who knew this would turn into an end of the year tradition? anyway, this year i went ahead and lived my best life as a working adult with stable income aka time to do some travelling. i’m very lucky to have other friends who are able to join along in the travels, or even have friends in multiple places so that if I go somewhere i’d have a friendly face to see. i also carried on with my fun adventures into the depths of figure skating. i play a nonexistent game of cat and mouse with my son jun (whomst is a very sweet boy so thank you son), and i adopted some ice dance children whomst are also very sweet (utana) and very relatable (shingo). ALSO I FINALLY DYED MY HAIR PINK (then changed it to silver-grey, and then blue thanks to IU’s blueming).  

overall, a very good year where I could pinpoint many good memories. cheers to the end of a decade, and hopefully here’s to a good 2020!
