Happy new year to you too!
I have three resolutions, but then I make good resolutions every now and then (when I move in a new place, get a new job, or just summer resolutions lol) so it's not that much of a big deal. Though focusing on a hobby (photo), doing more sport and getting myself more organized (I'm a mess) all sound like fairly regular/clihé NYE resolutions XD

What are yours?

Happy new year Omona

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I really like crash landing on you but I'm worried I won't get the endiing I want. Because I don't see how those two can realistically work out

NYE was uneventful
BB-Beni is still very tiny so we spend the evening just the 3 of us (went out to bed super early cause we're exhausted)
We had a nice meal though (and we had friends over a few days before so it was nice).

As usual no resolution for me, I try to set up goals for myself throughout the year, I find that less stressful. My current goals (since the delivery) is to lose more weight and tonify my body (especially my belly - I'm working on that with my kine as part of the reeducation so it's all good).
Which is kinda hard, cause I also want to bake (and eat the baked goodies obviously) >.<
Also it soon to be crepe season, and galette... and all the delicious january sweets

Man I love food

Also how is it only the third day of the year but the orange duck in chief is already at work to fuck it all up?

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I know it's partly my fault because I completely shut down on myself during December. I love Christmas because I get to celebrate it in a chill way with my family but the overall idea of late-year celebrations just depresses me out and it's exhausting to keep up with people arond then. So I didn't ask anyone what were their plans, and only my brother (bless him) asked me what I was doing. Also why would I ask people last minute about their plans? I don't want people to feel pity for me, poor girl without any friend on NYE TT

Well turns out one group of good friends went on a weekend in the countryside for NYE and didn't told me? I guess there wasn't space for everyone and I'm the one who got cut out. Idk I know I'm projecting but it's still a little weird? We'll see how the next restaurent date goes, we're supposed to see each other at least once a month to go to a restaurent. I felt so happy and grateful when they included me in those monthly meals but I guess that's the limit of my involvement?
Watching the stories on Instagram just before NYE's party was a reaaaaally bad idea and I've decided I won't watch instagram stories anymore, for my mental health. I'm even considering cutting down on Instagram all together (a shame because I love to share pictures I made on it, and my 2020 resolution is to be more serious about my photo hobby).

And other friends had a really small party between themselves which I would have not joined anyway (they're the same family and they kept the party between the family for once), but the kicker is that one of them made "a joke" Tuesday afternoon. When we went to SK (in a bigger group), it was mentioned how I never made a party after moving out in my own flat, and that I should host NYE. Which I forgot lol and didn't plan (I'm also rarely planning big parties in my flat to begin with). Then Tuesday around 2pm? she asked when we should arrive for NYE and what to bring. I FREAKED OUT. I had nothing planned, my flat was a mess, I didn't remember any of this, and yet I felt so hopeful/happy that something would happen with me included? So I sent a bunch of messages about needing time/asking who was supposed to be there/etc, and I guess she felt bad about me taking it seriously because she immediatly explained the joke + told she had other plans anyway. I answered on a joking tone but it's killing me inside, it was such a rollercoaster of emotions and now I feel left out even though I was never supposed to be in their party anyway.

In the end, my brother invited me to a party with his friends that was really sweet, I had a good time :) Also the two hometown friends I had trouble with after the Iceland trips are the one who answered my NYE message and started planning something to do together the next time I'm visiting my hometown lol what is going on in my life???

I hate winters, it's always a depressing time for me. This + the strike which keeps everyone at home more than winter usually does make me feel so lonely. I'm just going back to my small flat, there's no one but me there. I'm sad I don't have at least one really close friend but I wouldn't have the energy to keep up. I've never had something close to a "best friend", I've always been "one of the friends" which was fine but I'm turning 30 this year, my groups of friends have dwindled and it's so hard to meet new people.

Anyway, sorry, I'm only seeing my psy tomorrow but I really needed to vent out somewhere.


My 2020 resolutions are:
- Get more organized lol I'm such a mess. Starting slow with a schedule book + a big cleaning planned this weekend, and I'll try to set small goals related to it throughout the year
- Get more serious about photography, I have a good camera but I would like a second lens and classes to get better at using it. I'll try to go on walks alone with my camera more often too, like parcs or museums (I'm in Paris I need to see more museums, we have so much)
- Find a martial art class as sport activity

And I'm keeping the list like this because I don't need to overwhelm myself with too many things to hold on to at the beginning of the year, it's the surest way to give up in a few months lol.

Do you have resolutions and/or goals, Omona?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

hey sweety,
Do you mind sharing your insta I'd love to follow you (in a non creepy way I promise)

I thought you meant to adopt a cute kitty at some point? Did I imagine this?

[aures.livejournal.com]

happy new year to you, too ♥

[aures.livejournal.com]

happy new year guys ♥ best wishes for the new year!

from monday evening till this morning (early... yikes) i stayed a holiday park, supposedly firework-free. but i had one hell of a night. basically what happened is this: i got migraine monday evening and night. then it was tuesday, NYE i got migraine again. so i went to bed early, i couldn't sleep because of the migraine, little after midnight i heard a lot of noise near the house, then at the door. i was all alone so i was kinda scared, waiting for it to go away. but it continued so i went to look right? there was a drunk woman trying to get into my house. she kept trying to get the door open, then she went to the window and tried to open it(!), she went back to the door. so i knocked on the door and told her to leave, thank god she did, so i went back to bed. like within 5 minutes a very very big, large and very drunk german man nearly slammed my door open and he kept shouting at it. it was super scary. it took me almost 5 minutes to get him to leave, he just kept slamming my door and shouting.
well, after that the neighbours started doing fireworks. THE AUDACITY?????? i can't believe it. it's a firework-free holiday park. people go there with like all kinds of reasons (pets, panic attacks, chronic illness, just overall dislike) to avoid the fireworks and you DARE to do fireworks? worst thing? they did it on my parking spot, which was next to my bedroom. I was sooo extremely upset. and all that when i also had migraine.

anyway, i filed a complaint at the park manager the next day and yesterday i got an email from him saying it was my own fault because i didn't contact his supervisor???? and that his supervisor hadn't seen anything? like really? the reception desk is a 15 minute walk and there was a super fog going on, you couldn't see more than 10-20 meter ahead of you, can't believe it.
(i let my mom read the email, she had the same feelings)

that was eventful. anyway, i left this morning and i'm really mad at the park manager for treating me so poorly. i seriously paid a shitload of money to go a firework-free holiday park, like more than half of my monthly income. i mean, i'm super glad i wasn't home and in my own village and all that, and i really liked the area, but i didn't get what i paid for, he didn't even apologize for it.
so yeah, mixed feelings. i really liked the park, but i didn't like what happened and how they handled it, basically they just put the blame on me and that pisses me off a lot and it wasn't how i wanted to start this new year. as if having migraine wasn't bad enough already.

so now i'm back at home and i'm really really tired because of everything, hopefully i'll be able to get some rest this weekend. the weather is really bad today so i'm hoping everybody will stay inside lol.

otherwise i don't really have much to share.

what are your hopes/wishes for this year?

my 2 main wishes:
- good health for my family, being with them in ways that i can
- getting my own home

some other things and hobbies i would like to spend more time on:
- stabilize my own health but at this rate, who knows whats going to happen, but i hope at least i won't get much worse
- listen to more audiobooks
- learn more about other people (cultures/backgrounds/races/preferences) to better understand them so i can treat them and the situation better and to learn more about society in general
- read/learn more about the real stories behind fairy tales and the background stories
- be even more environmentally friendly, make better choices where possible + continue vegan lifestyle and try to inspire others to make changes as well

well that's quite a bit. apart from the health, family and vegan/environment stuff it's fine if i can't. they are just wishes and hopes.

[apori.livejournal.com]

Happy new year my dear! How are you now, is the migraine better? I cannot imagine how exhausting it is for you to have these frequent and long migraines. I get them too but very rarely, and it completely knocks me out. Your strength is really something, I hope you know that.

Your NYE with those intrusive people!, the disrespectful people and the fireworks in a non-fireworks place sounds so bad. Do you think you can get a refund or something? They really didn't give you what you paid for in the end :(

Even though you're so right about time being our own construct, I still hope you can achieve your goals in 2020. I wish good health for your family but also you to the extent possible - if anyone deserves that it's you. Hopefully you can sort out your status with the government and find a place to stay that matches your requirements too!

On your point about learning more about the real stories behind fairytales and background stories, I used to study this wayyyy back in university, and I found some good readings on Japanese mythmaking and the stories behind it. If I find those again, I could forward them to you if you're interested! A very cool topic in general I think :D


Also replying to your other post here:
I stopped 99% of my dairy intake in the last few months of 2019, and I'm loving it so much so far, and you were really a big help with it! Helping me with the oatmilk, suggesting ways to make things. I hope and think I'll continue down this path this year, and I'm so happy about learning new things!

I tried to talk to the friend about the self-help stuff once, and she took it very personally, so since then I just stopped mentioning it at all, even when she's bringing it up constantly, sort of avoiding the topic, but it's really impossible to avoid it now, so I feel that the last resort is just keep some distance from her, hope that she tones it down a bit and improves down the line :/

[aures.livejournal.com]

hi bb how are you? <3

i hope you'll have a good weekend ahead of you! it's fine if you don't have goals or whatever, it's really not all that important, you can find things you want or wish for throughout the year, it doesn't have to be now. time i just a man-made thing <3

ah sorry to hear about your friend, it must be such an awkward situation. have you tried talking to her about it? how your views don't line? and maybe if she can try to tone it down a little bit around you because it makes you feel uncomfortable? it's worth a shot?

[imahurricane.livejournal.com]

did nothing big. i stayed home with fam like i normally do. then my sister treated us for dinner on new year which is nice. gonna go for staycation alone tomorrow. i kinda wanted to ask my mom to join me but i need some me time so alone it is.

so not ready to go to work on monday :( i've been distancing myself with ppl from work cause work lately just make me sick. if i could, i wanted to take a month-long break from work.

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

All I really wanted for 2020 is to allow myself not to stress about things out of my control and enjoy my day to day life more and not even a full week into it here comes the threat of a war that would impact & end countless lives due to someone wanting to distract/delay their impeachment process 🤦🏾‍♂️

Happy New Year 😩

completely random and totally irrelevant but bb-beni really likes IU's latest ep, lol
especially unlucky and the visitor

I finally managed to watch 100 movies last year! I've noticed I'm more into movies than reading nowadays.Trying to reach the same goal this year too.

I've finally started therapy and switched my medication to a new one, which doesn't have side effects of putting me in a really dark place. I haven't had any side effects, except loss of appetite so I've lost more weight than I've managed to do on my own.

I have no feelings about the new year, just trying to think too much about things.

[krissasaur]

I recently got a smart TV with Netflix, but just end up getting anxiety from all the choices and turn it off. Can you rec me anything? I tend to dislike comedy, but anything else goes haha.

I am glad your new meds are doing you well. Here's to hoping they keep on!

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

Been on break for 4 whole days now and I’m ready to get back to work lol I have nothing to do :/

Going to be working on a special food project all year and I rly want to get started but I’m waiting until next week so I can properly rest even tho I’m bored.

SF9 sound like they’re going to put out another absolutely tune with their next comeback I’m sad they’re so forgotten.

Happy 2020, the year of BoA's 20th anniversary!!!!!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Holy shit 20 years already! I keep forgetting how young she debuted and how long she's been in the game. She's so impressive
I hope she's able to plan a proper 20th anniversary promotion (if she wants to), I'm still annoyed by the lack of promotion from SM around Woman/Starry Night TT

Hi omona, and happy new year!

I’ve moved since I was last around here, and I’m wondering if anyone knows of any places to buy kpop merchandise in the Washington, DC area?

[star-riku.livejournal.com]

I gotchu fam.

If you're in VA you're going to want to look in Annandale. If you're closer to MD, Lil Thingamajigs in Rockville has kpop merch - it's near Twinbrook station. There's also a Lil Thingamajigs in Annandale, lol.

Hello! I've come out from hiding again.

I spent NYE with my SO - it was a relaxing night in.

Lately I've been feeling a little lonely, I guess? Like irl I'm great, I have friends and whatnot but like at the beginning of the last decade I had a super vibrant online life and online friends to talk to...that's not the case now. I pretty much just lurk on every social media site I have. I think that's why I keep coming back to LJ even though it's pretty much dead - it's nice to be a part of a "community", even though I'm not active.

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

God 2020 is starting really shitty tbh

But my day started with a good workout, I’m at least feeling good physically and somewhat mentally (somewhat being only if I don’t read the news 😞)

I’m off to a second interview, fingers crossed I get it 🤞 I’ll have to be late to my current job, hopefully they don’t ask

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

happy new year 💖
i celebrated the new year by going to a house party which was fun! it was the perfect start cause i'm super excited.

i bought a journal to which will hopefully allow me to let go of certain thoughts cause last year it could sometimes get a bit too overwhelming. i'm really determined to not let every bad thing bring me down. like today something happend at work and i was able to sort of talk myself through it (i first went for a walk but still haha). this year is also the year i'll try to be more active, get healthier and get more out of my comfort zone! i'm excited 😁

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

Random but I was thinking a bit about the user here who really loved jonghyun and shine but was having some memory loss issues and they ended up deleting or leaving. I hope you’re doing well if you’re still reading!

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I'm getting real mad at those shitty memes about WWIII bs
And I'm about to be a bitch towards the shitty americans spreading them

Yes, I cut off both my parents many years ago, which was one of the most difficult but ultimately rewarding choices I’ve made. You can’t choose the family you were given, but you can choose whether they have the right to a relationship with you. Your health, safety and happiness come first, and they don’t get to compromise that just because of blood relation. You are most important.

I know I don’t post much, so I must seem like a random stranger, but feel free to PM me if you ever want to talk.

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i spent NYE at home like usual. i actually spent a lot of that evening playing fire emblem... but i was in the bathroom when the clock hit 12, smh. though judging by how 2020 is already a shitshow 3 days in, it probably was for the best to not celebrate, lol.

i'm going to NC in april so that's the one thing i have to look forward to this year. it'll be my first time traveling solo and my first time riding a plane.

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

hope you all have a great weekend! I'm working this weekend, but I'm off to Austin in a week. Can't wait to chill for a bit before I go back to school and work.

Happy New Year, Omona!

I spent NYE with my parents and two fur babies.

Anyway, is anyone having troubles using the lj app on their mobile devices? Mine has been crashing whenever I open it these past two days. And I really hate the new format / layout used by the app. Uggh...

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

Hope y’all had a great New Year celebration and your 2020 is off to a great start! 💙

[star-riku.livejournal.com]

Also, random, but I'm so glad Omona still exists. Sometimes I go on r/kpop and it's bound to give me a headache.
