New songs (sorta)

hi guys!

life is hectic!! as in, mine is. I don't know about you. but mine is hectic. 

✅Sleep deprived. 

✅Stress eating. 

a very good combination, you should try it.

anyway, 31st Aug, ey? what ever happened to Emilia Earheart? 

ever since covid, life has been such a drag. I remembered it being such a drag and then now, time seems to fly? what is concept?

anyway, goodbye August. you've been nice. You have shared me a couple of new songs this month, which I'm gonna share with everybody right now;

1. Taemin - 2 Kids

I mean, I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought it would take me a few listen to grow into the song but I LOVE it right away. I don't remember if I ever like Taemin's song on the first listen. Well done, Taemin. 😘

2. Jessi - Nunu Nana

OK. I gotta admit. if it weren't for NCT memes, I wouldn't know the existent of this song. this song is, as Haechan once said, a bob. 😎

andddd thats the only two song I like this month. OH! MOI! GOAT! 

3. Christina Aguilera - Loyal Brave True.

I MEAN! THIS MOVIE BEEN DELAYED SINCE MARCH! AND ITS COMING OUT IN BRUNEI ON 3RD SEP! MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!

MY BIRTHDAY MONTH IS IN LESS THAN 40 MINS.

Netflix Update

Hi.

yes. you can say I am making full use of my subscription. I mean, it is about BND13 a month. So, might as well.

here goes:

1. Brooklyn99

I finished Brooklyn 99 before deciding to watch the Hill House. 6 seasons and the ending kinda aburpt. I think I read somewhere about it ending but still, I wanna watch becoz of one particular scene, the 'I want It That Wat' scene.

10/10 will recommend you to watch coz they noice. LOL

I just wiki and it says season 6 memang 18 episodes saja. AND there's season 7 with 13 episodes! last aired April 2020 katanya. SOOOOO Netflix when you gonna release that on the platform?

2. The Haunting of Hill House

ok, awal-awal, i was like, scardy cat and I watched this in broad DAY light! then after second episode, I was soooo intrigued that I stopped thinking so much about the ghost and more about the effing back story. It's a good series and I finished it in a day. 

just one thing tho, too much flashback and POV (point of views). It made me feel like, if I paused, I lose track of what was going on or where the story come from and where its heading. like, damn! 

but it reminds me of the me back in high school, when I wrote stories and made lots of flashbacks and lost of POV. it made me feel better; if film/tv series writter made it happened, I guess I can too.

overall, becoz of all the flashbacks, the story become so twisted and got you so intrigued.

8/10 will recommend to watch.

3. Little Women

I put this off for so long. the thing with netflix 'download' is that, it has expiry date. and this one was going to expire on 9th August. So as soon as I finished Hill House. i wanted to watch becoz of Saoirse and Emma. I haven't really read the book. but i have a memory of how the story goes? or maybe that was Pride and Prejudice? since that story also has 4 sisters. i think. ok, besides the point.

I thought my favorite character would be Jo, since she's a writter and I want to be a writter too. I also thought, Meg would be a favorite but no. Beth was musical and shy. Amy was a painter. and I like the strong willed, decisive Amy more. I mean, I still like Jo but in the end, I like Amy.

7/10 recommending you to give this movie a go. for the morale.

and now that I finished with these, maybe I can go and watch Kingdom, 

the korean zombie historical drama series. It has two seasons, 6 episodes each, almost 1 hour long per episode. but I don't know. subtitles. we'll see.

there's also another series on my List; Locke & Key. 

10 episodes, about 40mins each. I watched the thrailers and it reminded me of Hill House a bit. maybe I'll keep this one on my list a bit longer. I can't watch similar series in two days. it'd do me no good.

OR i should watch Anne with an E, 

its Anne of GreenGable story. but this has Little Women vibes to it. and it has 3 seasons. I don't think I have the patient to watch this one yet.

alright, I'm giving it a rest. 

Let me know if you watch any of this too.

August BuJo Theme

 my August theme is here!!

Glad this one finished in the first few days of August, unlike my July's. I actually search for ideas a week before July ends. coz I don't want what happened in July, happened again in August.

I came across two themes on youtube that I thought would be easy for me to follow or recreate;

1. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. by Temi Danso Art

I feel like this one is noice. Umbrella and tri-color. also FRIENDS.

2. Kites by SheDoodles

this one terlalu simple. I mean, just drew kites. but the color a bit dull? I know I can change them to fit my feel.

I keep going back and forth with this two themes. I wanted to start the 'base' even before August started but I keep putting it off. I guess I was waiting for Amanda's theme. 

3. Studio Ghibli by AmandaRachLee

I mean, I'm no artist. I can try but I also don't want to stress about it. and also, if you read too much into her videos, I can't really relate. I don't grow up with Ghibli's movies. I only started watching them last year with Spirited Away and I was 31. So, no. I can't relate. it's still a beautiful theme and I wish I have the guts to pursue recreating it but no.

that was when I decided to go with the Umbrella theme by Temi. I tried to 'fully' recreate her theme but like I mentioned, I don't want to stress so I improvised. It'd still be umbrella and I enjoy her color scheme too. I just have to change it up a little. also, Brunei is in rainy season now. it's fitting.

look how vibrant! I start preparing on the night of 4th Aug and began to finish them on the 5th Aug. 

I even made a little video. which I hope I can share here. (plis internet, be good). 

I tried to video my July theme as well but I made a huge mistake with that one. so I discarded them. not gonna dwell too much on that mistake and move on.

Can you believe that its already August? you would think the pandemic slowed down the time. I guess not.

Hope everything is well with you and your family. stay healthy and safe, everyone.

Monster

hi Geng!

August is here. and my Bujo theme is done. but I will post them after this post.

on today's post, I'm gonna be sharing another SM fav! and by favorite I mean, in song title;

MONSTER

Red Velvet subunit: Irene & Seulgi made a debut with the song Monster. again, I prefer not to watch the music video when trying to like a song and what do you know? it is a bob.

then days later, I thought, oh! here's another '3 similarity MTV' style thing. SM released 3 songs titled Monster since I first became a fan of kpop.

1. by: Super Junior

album: Sorry, Sorry

year: 2009

2. by EXO

album: Ex'Act

year: 2016

3. by Irene&Seulgi, Red Velvet sub-unit.

album: Monster EP

year: 2020 (duh~ LoL)

I told you SM is kinda lazy. I mean, in trying to find a different song title.

also, finally understands what EP means:

andddd

I will make a series out this '3 similar' thing.
