What a year I had...

Hi! 

Just a life update.


2020 has come and gone, yet I feel like remnants of that (stressful) year has carried on until today. Too many things happened during last year, and personally, I think I'm still stuck in it. I experienced the harsh reality of the shitty governance of my country, stressful nights due to online schooling, and just the overall mixed emotions due to covid. It was sometimes hard to bear, sometimes it was hard to even get up because the cycle of waking up and attending online classes was weighing down on me. It was hard for me, yet I can say that I survived it without snapping and being completely drowned in my emotions.

For my fandoms, ARASHI had started their hiatus after 21 years! I can't say that I'm truly happy, but I'm relieved at some extent because they've been doing this for so long. I hope that they're all healthy and I'm waiting for them to be back!

E-girls has also disbanded last year. I've been with them since 2014 and for 6 years, I've seen them grow and become beautiful women. I'm deeply saddened with their disbandment, not just because they're hugely part of my teenage years, but because they're my inspiration. They were the reason why I started to dance and their influence were so strong. I'll continue to be the same fan, looking at each of them from afar. I just hoped I saw them perform live once, but my chance was ruined by covid. Sad times. I love you E-girls! Forever E-girls!

Those are for my fandoms, but for the (English) artists I follow, Taylor Swift really had me hooked with her album folklore. I cannot express how much it resonated with me and how it's a beautifully made album. I love her old albums, but after RED, her albums wasn't really fitting in my style anymore. But folklore changed it! I'm still listening to it now, even after evermore was released.

I'm stoked to hear her version of Fearless too! That album is one of my childhood favorites and I can't wait to relive the memories of the past while listening to it. Love Story already brought so many nostalgic memories, what more if its the whole album?

This year, I'm hoping that I get to be the best version of myself, yet again. 2020 didn't give me much, because of how I just couldn't function during the times I was free from studies. So, I just hope this year would be better!

Thanks for reading!
