hi omonafriends~ how are you? how was your week? what are you guys up to this weekend? do you have anything nice to look forward to or are you relaxing at home?

i think at the beginning of the year or so i asked you guys for anti-aging tips and some of you recommended retinol, been using it ever since and i want to thank the ppl who recommended it to me because it has done wonders for my skin, i still obviously have the fine lines/wrinkles, but overall my skin does look a lot better (i use it combined with some other products from The Ordinary). So.. thanks~ ♥

otherwise i had a rough week, i had 4 migraine attacks yikes. yesterday i was finally migraine free which was nice.
today i want to use my bread maker to make a gluten free bread, i bought a gluten free bread mix and i just have to add water, yeast and oil i think, i hope it will turn out well~ i'm not gluten free (i usually eat/make spelt bread), but i do really enjoy trying out different and new things and i usually really enjoy gluten free things because i find them easier to digest. are you guys gluten free? or low on gluten?

i'm so curious to see where CL is going from now on. what do you guys think? in my recent post a lot of you were hoping for bom's agency, aomg, her own ageny, psy's agency or just any agency besides YG basically. i truly hope for a 2NE1 reunion in the future, i wonder how long Dara still has left w/ her contract and if she wants to renew or not (i hope not).

happy to see hyuna and dawn promote as well, it's so refreshing to see them get a second chance, i hope they will continue to do well. do you guys like their comebacks?

anything else fandom-wise you are excited about?

have a good weekend guys ♥

[apori.livejournal.com]

Ooh you got your breadmaker already, which one did you go with in the end? I hope your bread turns out delicious, as you know, in my experience you really can't go wrong with those and the freshness is always nice.

4 migraine attacks in a week, yeesh, I hope you're feeling better now :(. Please take care and rest if you can now that it's weekend. Do you know what your triggers are? I have no idea about mine, but my migraine is really inconsistent (can be years in between or consistently for weeks). Truly the worst, hope it's gone for a while now! <3

Also curious what CL will do now. My excitement for her being free of them is tempered by sadness at how YGE literally destroys peoples youths and takes years of their lives. She's one of the best examples of it. I hope she finds herself somewhere she can feel appreciated and happy now, where ever it is. I'll always want 2NE1, but I'm also OK with them just getting along and maybe featuring on each other's solo stuff, anything will make me happy!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Shitty week lol I don't want to be back!!! and it's just so cold, windy and rainy here, I've seen sick as soon as I stepped into France lol.

Four migraine attacks omg ;_; virtual hugs for you, I'm glad you're feeling better today and hopefully it will last for a long, long time!!!

I hope the bread tastes good :D you're always sharing a new cooking adventure in FFAs and in turns you always make me feel so hungry XD
I'm not gluten free, I digest things pretty well overall. I would feel so weird buying gluten-free stuff, there are many people who need these options (whether fully intolerent or just uneased by it like you), I'm lucky I don't have to.

I'm excited about Golden Child coming after a year of waiting, and wil a full album!!! I don't listen to a lot of boy groups, but I really enjoyed their energetic, fresh concept and I missed them a lot. I'm still a little cautious about the change in concept as I really don't want them to do the usual moody boy group concept, but one year... I'll take whatever I get from them (insert obligatory fuck you Woollim lol).

[mallmouse.livejournal.com]

4 migraine attacks in a week??? How long did they last for? I've come to accept that the 'migraine at night; gone in the morning' phase has ended for me, and that now I'm in the 'migraine at night, at in the morning, and next night too' phase. Do you also vomit? Is it period-related?

[adenar.livejournal.com]

My feeling is that wherever CL (and/or Minzy and Dara since they're suing for termination/potentially negotiating their contracts) ends up is a lot more likely than YG to be open to a 2ne1 reunion. What agency in their right mind wouldn't be?

I am excited for Nature's comeback (and Kim Sohee's re-debut!) and also hopefully to watch Hinapia rise.

[sciencebottle.livejournal.com]

Hope you're doing well <3 What retinol stuff have you been using? I think its time for me to hop on the anti-wrinkle train too

I think 2NE1 is the one group I could see having a reunion. They are still my most favourite gg and I'm happy that they have been at least able to maintain a friendship <3

Hello everyone!

I'M BACK :D The trip to Korea was amazing. Two weeks felt too short TT

All our days were absolutely PACKED with activities. We visited and walked so much. Most of the two weeks were spent in Seoul, but we had three days in Jeju and one in Nami Island. As of main activities, we did two trails (Hallasan in Jeju for the difficult one, Bukhansan in Seoul for the easier one), several walks by the seaside in Jeju, the lava tunnels, and many, many neighbourhoods in Seoul by feet too. We visited the two main palace areas. I went to a museum about Seoul's history (and consequently, Korea's history) that was really interesting.
We ate so much food lmao most of my money went there. We also partied hard, mostly Itaewon since our airbnb was close, but outside of the partying area.
Some shopping but not as much as I expected, I have two piece of clothing, a few small presents, a few kakaofriends/artbox goodies and 11 albums only (also three posters that I don't know what to do with???). I went to buy Taeyeon's Purpose on the day of the MV release but it wasn't on sales yet, so I finally got my copy two days after, and got the limited edition. So pretty (and so big???).
There's only one day I didn't do anything, instead stayed in the airbnb/on the rooftop (while the others went biking in Yeouido), but I had been partying until 9 am so I guess I deserved my day off alone XD
There was some drama since we left with 6 people and met 2 other people in Seoul, but overall I think we handled it pretty well. We were able to resolve any argument by talking afterwards like adults. I feared much worse.
I also didn't have much anxiety. I had a few moments during parties but I blame alcohol, it either makes me a carebear (super happy, hugging everyone, etc) or a big ball of nerves hiding in the back. Thankfully I was able to shake off these moments pretty easily. I also had one day that was riddled with anxiety and a lot harder to shake off ; coincidentally it's the day we visited a buddhist temple and sat down inside to meditate, which in turn made me cry like a baby but feel better afterwards lol. But overall a lot more manageable than the anxiety attack I had in Iceland.


Now back to France TT
As soon as I arrived, I fell sick lol. I've been coughing since Monday, the coughing fits are bigger but more spaced today and I'm finally starting to feel better so I'm hoping it's the end. I didn't went to a doctor because I wouldn't be covered by my job (until the end of the month ; after that, I'll have done enough time with them and they'll cover my sick days). It was hell to go back to work jet-lagged and sick, on top of not wanting to attend this job anymore. It's soooo hard to concentrate lmao
Nothing happened while I was away, apart from one case, my boss kept telling "wait for Gathyou to come back in two weeks!!!" so now I have to handle the delays. She had also packed my schedule with meetings, as if I didn't have enough to do TT. But at least I haven't seen her for the whole week, except briefly while we attented the same meeting two days ago! Her schedule is packed even more than mine.

This weekend I'm going back to my parents, especially since we have a bank holiday Monday. I have many things planned but above all some rest, and job-searching. I'm looking forward to it :)

How were your weeks Omona? what do you have planned for the weekend?

[apori.livejournal.com]

Welcome back! I'm really happy to hear you had a great time (for the most part). How was the temperature in Seoul?

Getting back to work jetlagged, tired and sick sucks in the best of circumstances but I'm sure it's even worse for you now given the situation there. At least you have your escape plan and can go around with the knowledge that it's only temporary? Also good to be able to avoid you know who for as long as you can!

Ps. I'm waiting for us to become best friends in Pokemon now 🤣

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

I am having a somewhat awkward situation.

There was this guy whom I used to work with many years ago, he's an overall a shitty person but I know he worked hard. He tried to accommodate us, just that he really liked to make our blood boils lmao and I was childish back then, whenever he intentionally teasing me I got mad instantly. And my reaction made him annoy me even more (like he thinks it's funny)

One day he got stroke, he got paralyzed on his right body. Right now he can walk but his right arm is totally dead. At that time, me and couple other co-workers were trying hard to take over our small studio (we were running a drawing course, he's the boss and we were just tagging along like little ducklings behind him), making new course materials for the students etc. We also tried to raise money to afford the building monthly cost that is very big, all while 3 of us didn't get any payment (bec the boss was gone).

The first several months after he fell sick was horrible, his dad indirectly accused me of smuggling the studio money (heard this from other friend) and that I was 'sneaking out' to ask higher payment to the client. All those ugly things that was never thrown at me directly at my own face, but enough to make me swore to quit and wont ever see his face & his family ever again.

I promised myself that I dont wanna hate / be an enemy of him, because his life is now basically falling apart, he cant work anymore and that I should feel sorry for him. But I dont wanna be nice to him either, and so I chose to move on and dont want to have anything to do with him anymore.

The thing is...... I dont think he realized the situation. I often ignored his chats, sometimes I replied but not much. Few days ago he followed me in IG and I blocked him (I just not interested to have him stalking my photos and made useless comments, he OFTEN comments on people's posts with insensitive stuff like, "if you keep doing this then no guy will like you hehehe" AND HE DOESNT REALIZED IT'S ANNOYING) Some of my friends still endure it with the consideration that he's sick and his brain still not wired correctly... but I think he's actually pretty normal. His head is just like before he was sick. He's still the same annoying man but just his communication/wording sometimes a bit messed up due to the stroke. He often can listen quicker than responding.
Which is why I'm the meanest ones in the group to block him.

And just yesterday he texted my ex co-worker (the only one who is very nice to respond him) saying that I'm very cruel, that I ditched him because he's sick (as if I was nice to him when he's healthy? nahh). And now everybody thinks I'm an arrogant bitch who forget a friend when they're no longer benefited me :/

The one I'm concern the most if he's in deep depression and suicidal, I kinda have a feeling he might mention my name. I dont want to be cause of his death, because tbh my ex co-worker said that this guy often texted her how he wanted to die.
Actually when he first got sick years ago, since I took over his work I began to know he was cheating on us and took money more than what he said to us. I was furious because I trusted him. There was an intern at that time who already worked for 6 months with no pay (which I was just found out), I decided to take some of our non-existent budget for intern's salary, so this intern can stay with us longer bec he's a good guy & very helpful. Then this sick ex-boss asked me why I paid the intern (????duhh) and I was exploded to him like how could you tell someone to work 8 hours with no pay for 6 months!! eventho he was only an intern, you dont even teach him much about drawing and yet he wasted his time in here???

I didn't keep my calm and furiously texted him my anger, the next morning his dad called me saying the boss went into emergency last night because he was shocked reading my message. That was the most terrifying moment in my life, he could've died because of me. It's also one of the reason I'm avoiding him now, I'm afraid whenver I see/talk to him I will boil lol and say the things I shouldn't say.

I just want to cut ties with him lol But it seems like I'm too cruel??
Do I have to suck it up and be nice to him?

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I think cutting ties would be best. You're just stuck in a toxic situation, with build-up anger against him, and no opportunity to move on since everyone keeps reminding you what happened. The emergency visit also show that it's a toxic situation for him as well. You both need to move on.
Tbh I'm afraid that it's going to be a long, painful process for you, since you're already accused of so many things related to the job place and your ex-boss health. I think you have to be prepared for many questions by people who know both of you regarding your decision (and whether you want to detail your reasons or not), maybe even some of them turning against you. I think you also have to be prepared in case your ex-boss himself asks for an explanation - you obviously can't send a message written in anger. Maybe you could already work on a draft to use if such a situation arise, something short, grounded in facts (as to why you cut ties and why this decision has nothing to do with this health), and ending with wishes of recovery/well-being?

Secondly, cut ties with the dad as well!!! He sounds like the most toxic in your comment, making fake accusations towards you, ruining your reputation behind your back, solely blaming you for an emergency visit (when other factors often play as well), etc. You don't need that negativity in your life.

Finally, I understand how you're feeling guilt that your messages probably weighted in his emergency visit, and fear that it could impact his depression. But you're not responsible for his depression. You're not responsible for how he will react to your interactions (or lack of). You can only try to do what's best for yourself, and limits negative impacts for him in the process. A message written in anger is never a good idea but we've all been there! and you have your fair share of issues to deal with. Good thing is you know why it wasn't a good idea and won't do it again.
I've been seriously depressed before and I had some really bad reactions to messages by friends during those times, but the messages were always a catalyst for an underlying issue that I felt, and that my friends were not responible for. And yes it was easy to blame them while it was happening, but focusing on why I reacted this way and which personal issues it touched upon (instead of why they sent those messages) is what helped in therapy.

Good luck <3

[apori.livejournal.com]

Hello all! I hope you're having a great Friyay, where ever you are! The first snow came here this week. It still looks nice before it gets slushy and dirty.

My week was nice but busy. Spent some time with my nephew. I've not been very popular with him because I'm not fun, I don't really play well with toys and I hate loud video games/kid TV/movies, and I'm just awkward when it comes to kid stuff in general, but I've been around since he was born, even if scarcely, so he's familiar and safe with me, and now that he's started school I've helped him with homework and we've also played some "pedagogic" games with reading and maths (lol) and it seems like my coolness status is rising, so I'm quite proud :D

Also had another three job interviews this week, including one third round interview with the management of the organization where I had to make a presentation, submit two extensive written assignments, take aptitude tests and have a long interview with the leadership. It went well and I will take it really personal if I don't get an offer because I've put in so much time and honesty for this now GRRRRRR (should've lied more lmao?). The other two, I booked on the same day because I'm sick and tired of dressing up with these things, carrying important documents, waiting around, being nervous etc. Might as well just ruin one day rather than 3🤣🤣🤣. Interview fatigue is real, but for one I was offered a second round interview on the spot, so maybe I'm getting better? At least the opportunities don't seem to dry up, but I'm still stressed about money. Have another interview next week as well. I just want it to be over with :( I'm so glad it's weekend now and no recruiter will contact me with bad (or good) news for at least two days, and not because I'm failing, just for a bit of a break.

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

I hope you receive good job news soon :))))

I forgot to reply last week, I watched Bojack!! What did you think of season 6 so far??

[mntsuklaa.livejournal.com]

Soooo I majorly fucked up with the temp job for Christmas, so it's going to cause me massive anxiety, but I'm trying to remind/convince myself that it's only 8 or so shifts and that I can brute-force it and just never go back there again.
Normally the business would work things out with my temp agency, and I would get paid through my agency. For whatever reason (probably to cut costs) this time I had to sign a contract with the business itself, so they're paying me my salary directly, not through the agency. I only found out after signing the damn thing that I will get paid less than what I'm currently getting. I'm so fucking peeved but at this point there's nothing to be done.
I just have to try to take this as an excellent life lesson to properly discuss things (especially the pay) beforehand and learn to say no. Ugh. Dx
This month I have a bunch of night shift inventories (13 shifts to be exact) and I've already had 2! My sleeping schedule is properly fucked (I went to bed at 7am and woke up at noon but I plan to get a few more hours of sleep before I have to go again tonight) and I love that for once I have a proper reason and don't have to feel guilty lmao

I finally listened to Monsta X's comeback and I've been looping Follow ever since. The entire album is great! I'm still just really sad that everything happened the way it did. :(

In the past week I've watched almost 3 seasons of Boku no Hero Academia. There's been one or two days when I've watched something else, but I plan to finish the 3rd season (I'm currently on episode 23) and get all caught up with the 4th one when I have Sunday and Monday off.
I went in expecting to like Midoriya and Todoroki (and I do, actually I love the entire class! Minus Mineta, he could've easily been left out of the series and nothing would've been lost) but at this point I think Bakugo might be my favorite. Especially since I realized that his voice actor also did Karma in Assassination Classroom.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Tough to learn that on top of everything, you won't be paid like you're supposed to. But like you said, it's only eight shifts!!! it will be over soon :) and you'll learn from it so it won't happen again. Hang on, you're doing great <3

I want to give a hug to Monbebebs. As a Sone, I know what it's like to unexpectedly see a member leave the group. I hope they'll be able to bring joy to you again <3

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

So far the end of the year kpop is just ok, I need to indulge in more indie since the mainstream only has a few to wow me. I’m sad that Brown Eyed Girls album didn’t leave much of an impression on me, I saved one or two songs and that’s it. It’s not bad at all but I was hoping to find some new songs to adore like Come Closer and Cleansing Cream, eh not this time :(

But who did wow me? FKA TWIGS!!!! MAGDALENE is an experience ❤️ My favorite album from her by far (I just really wish Future wasn’t on Holy Terrain). And her body is perfection 😍

[apori.livejournal.com]

Yeah this year in kpop sucks, I've liked some solo releases (which I don't even consider kpop) but even there I'm not blown away.

Haven't listened to Magdalene yet (because I forgot), and I've been behind on music in general. Will check it out this weekend! Thanks for the recommendation. SHE is perfection, so I expect nothing less from the music as well.

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

Happy weekend Omona! I finally got a job offer =) will be starting very soon at a software company. There's a small number of employees here in the country & the company is based in New Zealand. It'll be a change after working for a really huge IT company. I'm excited and very very thankful!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!! I'm super happy for you, I hope you feel great in this company and doing this job :D

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Is anyone watching Dickinson
I quite like it so far, it's really not what I expected

[aures.livejournal.com]

no but how are you? how was your week?

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

So my burnout situation is now this: I'm on a shortened work week for the next two-three months, depending on how the situation develops. So I only work 3 days a week.
I guess I'm glad they're taking it seriously but also I feel awkward about the whole thing...

[aures.livejournal.com]

sorry to hear you feel this way! i hope a shortened week will feel a little better for you but i want to warn you: don't try to do all your work into the 3 days now! that's a massive thing to be VERY careful with! give others some of your workload, don't feel guilty or awkward about it, think about yourself first and only now
take care, i hope things will start looking up for you soon
are you able to do something nice for yourself this weekend? maybe relaxing? cook/eat something nice?

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

I think the true triumph of 'Flower Shower' is that it speaks to HyunA's quirkiness so aptly. Like she does sexy well but FS shows that she mainly just like to be a goofy girl that has fun while wearing pretty clothes - Or, in the case of the dance practice just posted, not so pretty clothes 😂 - and she gets to be that now. I'm so happy for her ans FS has genuinely been on repeat.

[kenziekinz09.livejournal.com]

Y’all it’s so cold here. I’m not built for this!!!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Yes omg how did it turn so cold so fast??? I was shivering when I went outside to get a sandwitch and I have a regular fall coat. Time for the winter coats TT

[xdaisyxlovesxbb.livejournal.com]

has anyone seen tiffany?
I am going to her show on sunday but idk what to expect.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Fan accounts over at r/kpop are all super positive, I hope you have a great time there!!! I'm a little jealous x)

[frequency.livejournal.com]

my doctor had to send a prior authorization request for the budesonide 3mg he ordered for me last week. insurance denied it and said it's cause that dosage isn't ~FDA approved~ for IBD treatment, only the 9mg dosage is. so he orders the 9mg, and the insurance company doesn't even cover it! 😤 he sent prednisone instead, but i won't get to start it until tomorrow, since the only person able to drive to town and pick it up is my brother. and he has to work today.

on top of that, my throat is sore, i'm hella congested, and i have a temp of 100 right now. i really hope i'm not getting the flu or something terrible.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

Hi Omona! Had to go to 3 cafes this morning to find one with a seat and now that I'm here I can't focus :( gonna have to head home to get work done. The next few weeks are super busy so I really needed to get shit done today and this has been a wonderfully terrible waste of time lol -_____-

Excited for Exo's comeback...it looks like they're going to be rly challenging themselves this time and exo/creative team with something to prove are usually their best comebacks. I hope the package design's really great.

I've been obsessively listening to this ACE b-side this week (mostly cuz I tend to listen to the same song on repeat while working, helps me focus).

[daynr.livejournal.com]

Are you in your new place?

I think ACE is who I'm going to see, I really need to get up to speed on them. Maybe the week before...But I like the song.

[wafflesnmilk.livejournal.com]

saw seventeen on thursday for the first time after so many near misses 😭 my seat was close to the front but at the edge so I had to crane my head the entire show and still had crap views haha (i hate makuhariiiiii) but at the end they brought out the carts unexpectedly and as luck would have it my 3 favs were at my side of the stage 😭 i couldnt go for their two other shows because of schedule but my friend just hit mama tickets so im seeing them again in december hehe, kinda symbolic since I became a fan after last year’s mama, can’t wait 🥰 (oh and the concert was great but that’s a given, no? 😌)

[daynr.livejournal.com]

ooooh! Who is your fav? Who was the most surprising on stage?

[daynr.livejournal.com]

OP, have you seen a sign?

The Watcher owned my time this week, even though I had none to spare. I hope others watch it too. Hattip torontok.

I know people love Secret Forest but I have really struggled to get through the second episode because emotionless male lawyers, bleck. But CHiPS Seo Kang Joon tweaks my interest.

It's cold and foggy here this week, like 50s, and my apartment basically reflects the weather outside. I revile cold apartments. I'm miserable. And the Republicans have decided a viable defense of the President is, basically, he's too dumb to have done what he's accused of. I just...

[adenar.livejournal.com]

Even when I was at my most depressed, I never tried to look for something spiritual or magical, like a sign. Not with a particular attitude of 'I will make my own path', just that I've never been in that frame of mind.

I'm going to move department. I'm in two minds about it. I will miss my department (and will also have to mentor the new department manager, since they'll be a trainee manager) but I want one day of the legit weekend back, having two weekday days off together isn't working for my social life and mental health. It'll mean a slight dock in pay since I won't work Sundays but I'll be fine.

It's my birthday on Monday so I'm baking cakes to take to work. Pear and cardamom (from Chetna Makan's 'The Cardamom Trail' which is honestly the ultimate GBBO recipe book), vegan lemon cake, maybe a chocolate cake too for the gloriously basic cake fans out there.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

You make me want to try that pear cake
I'm following her yt channel now


Also happy non-birthday if I don't see u around on monday 🍰🎂🎁🍹🍻😘

Hi everyone! Happy friday!

I am beyond stressed. I am at an impasse where I need to push through my insecurities and just send in my grad school applications, but I am so bogged down by not being the cookie cutter perfect applicant....

But! I am headed to whistler this weekend and I am super excited. It's going to be rainy for one of the days but I think it would be nice to just chill in the hotel and grab cozy food.

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

THIS WEEK WAS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!! i had such a busy week at work so i went out for drinks but now i'm a bit tipsy and i need to pee.

why did no one tell me that bon chocolate is sich a bop??!!! i've been listening to it the entire week!

[tiggie0307.livejournal.com]

Wow i haven't been here in AGES. I'm always sleeping when this goes up.

To answer your question OP, I have been the person to answer said sign for someone else. A friend wanted to go out with some SUPER sketchy ppl and her mom said no and they argued about it and the mom told me later she said a prayer and a second later i called and ask did her daughter want to come out with me and my friends to hang out downtown and grab dinner.
