BOA GOT ARRESTED??
https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/71db4ee4838eaddc5e91e053802e37f5275b3f2b

apparently for bringing in sleeping pills that were prescribed legally in japan but are illegal in SK.

i hope people don't burn her at the stake for this. 😬

WTF?
Oh come on!!!!

Hope everyone had a good week. Nothing too exciting this week. I can't believe next week is Christmas. It feels a bit surreal. I have had 3 work zoom "holiday parties" 3 days in a row this week. Today was the last one. It felt weird partying from home. I am pretty much done Christmas shopping for everyone. I will probably try not to shop as much in 2021. I feel like I did a ton of online shopping out of boredom this yr especially on clothes, skincare, and make up. I bought more eyeshadow palletes in quarantine than I have in yrs and I never really owned a ton of eye shadow palletes to begin with. I was surprised with how many I got in order to try out. I finally took the plundge and ordered some Pat Mcgrath palletes during their winter sale before the sale ended. Currently waiting for the shipment notifications. I hope the palletes are worth the hype for that price point. 😬 I also got the shock of my life this evening that one of my former coworker got arrested for UI fraud. 😳

In other news, I am excited for Wang Yibo's new drama Legend of Fei. The first few episodes started airing yesterday. I also need to start on that and catch up on Xiao Zhan's drama The Wolf and finish Goodbye My Princess

how is christmas only a week away...... i hope our kitchen is mostly done by then lmao

the steroid for my knee only helped a little bit. it still hurts a lot when i bend it more than a certain amount. :/ it just doesn't feel like what my "normal" usually is. i need to stop being so lazy and just make an appointment with a PCP so maybe i can get some imaging done or something. 💀 called UAB to see about a rheumatologist and i wouldn't be able to get in until JUNE 2021. no thanks, i'll go somewhere more local. 😬

i got 2 new pairs of glasses but i need them adjusted cause one pair sits crooked and the other one's arms are bothering my ears. and both pairs keep sliding down my face, lol. they're really cool glasses so i'd like to be able to enjoy wearing them.

will anyone here get the vaccine once they're able to? i'm considered "at-risk" because i have a few pre-existing conditions, so i'll definitely be in line for it, lol. i've seen people try to knock it because the efficacy rate is only 95% but i can't immediately think of any vaccines that are 100% effective.

have a safe weekend, everyone. 💖

[aures.livejournal.com]

i'm the at-risk group too and i'll definitely get one once i get the opportunity. it'll be a while because before me there are other groups (medical staff, elderly people, people with special needs etc.) but once i'm in line i'll get one. how about you?
at first i was really apprehensive but after giving it some time and thought i want one for sure, especially because i'm fully dependant on other people and how much/little they try to stay safe and lbr a vaccine is usually safer than other ppl :///

[aures.livejournal.com]

hi everybody, how is your week so far? what have you been up to? anything new/special in your life?

plans for the weekend?

i hope we will get a christmas FFA next week though! what are your plans for Christmas? And what are you going to eat and drink?

Take good care!

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

how are you op? how are you dealing with this new lockdown? fortunately vaccinations are starting in the new year!

i'm not seeing anyone this week because my parents and i have booked a bungalow in limburg for christmas and i want to make sure that i'm not infecting them. i'm getting tested (again) tomorrow morning just in case. today my 2 week holiday has started!! what are you up to? how was your week?

[yuwkon.livejournal.com]

hello omona! just turned 23 this Wednesday. idk if it's pandemic or it's because im growing old but it doesn't really excite me. idk what to feel lol. there was a 6.2 earthquake in the morning but i just continued to sleep lmao. finally went to a nail shop and had my nails done and dyed my hair (which were my ultimate goal for this year lmao). had a mini celebration with some relatives and neighbors and had a good night.

i haven't kept in touch with k-pop except for twice stuff and a little bit of dreamcatcher. hoping for a surprise from the girls and boys before the year ends.

[paige-nevaeh.livejournal.com]

Yay! It’s so nice to feel a little pampered with all the garbage that’s been thrown our way this year. I got my brows done and painted my nails yesterday. What colour did you go for?

Hope there was no damage for you with the earthquake!! Probs for sleeping right through haha!

[adenar.livejournal.com]

covid has hit my houseshare, i'm mad at the government for how they've tackled this whole affair, i think i saw a post on facebook that said 'living through covid in the uk is like hearing everyone else in the room turn the first page in an exam while you're still stuck on question one' and maaaan i feel that

It means I'm out of work at the busiest time of the year which is...really annoying tbh I'd much rather be at work

Finnish is such a great language! I've been learning it on duolingo now that it's finally out so I can bother my Finnish bestie with awkward and badly pronounced Finnish

[paige-nevaeh.livejournal.com]

That’s scary!! Hope you’re able to stay safe!!
It’s been an absolute shitshow from the start hasn’t it 🙄

[paige-nevaeh.livejournal.com]

Hi Omona!!
Hope everyone’s doing ok - does everyone have plans for Christmas? Work is dying down a little so I’m just sat twiddling my thumbs at home... luckily I’m only in 2 days next week.

Is anyone watching any of the end of year shows? I never watch them live as I don’t really care 😂 but the line up for the KBS Gayo is good! I want nothing but world domination for ITZY in 2021. Hopefully it will be uploaded by the time I finish work... gonna be my reward for facing the supermarket in then freezing cold 🥶

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Who knew removing one's helmet could be the greatest act of love

I'm ugly crying

And then Georgiou?

I'm still.....

[radowan.livejournal.com]

I'm so tire,d I feel like I haven't slept in a long time but I also still have a lot of work to do over the next week.

That said, the students' course feedback is in and I didn't get a single bad review 😭❤ On the contrary, and I'm happy because I thrive when praised lmao. Also got an email from the director of all degree programmes telling me that he's aware of my "outstanding teaching performance" and I just feel so validated because this semester has been so hard and so full of sad days for me.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

yay i am so proud of the course feedback from your students and that you're recognized in the department!! go you! i'm hoping this means that this tough semester will end on a high note for you and that you're able to take some rest during the holidays?

i totally know what you mean with thriving when praised lol had the same with my students course reviews

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

Lol the "Canadian politness" vs the Finnish... no-nonsense attitude. Let me just say this Finnish dude sounds exactly like a dude who lives in the middle of nowhere in a forest by himself. Is there a difference with the bears where these two approaches are what these men-living-in-the-woods have learned is the best approach? Tho I'm suprised how chill mama bear ft. two cubs is... for being a mama bear ft. two cubs.

On another note I've been doing some massive cleaning/organizing as of late. Not pictured are the mountains of clothes and storage boxes strategically just out of frame that I gotta get rid of still.

I love your pots with legs ! They're so cute !

[myungung.livejournal.com]

received my BOL album today, and I'm glad I got the Jinyoung version. the photocards are kinda nice, there's a "polaroid" esque one of Jinyoung, and I got a film one of Mark, so it was a nice surprise besides the usual selfie signed photocard. other than that the album is kinda basic, but been some time since I bought a kpop album so it was nice "unboxing" it.

I have nothing much going on in my personal life I guess, except being busy next week with social engagements. can't wait for the year end long weekends.

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

I love them so much but this album doesn't really do anything for me so i'm holding off on buying it. and i freakin always get mark when i want jb and jinyoung lol

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

I looked up Capricorn dates since I forgot when it started

And one of the search results had more info on Capricorn and it said
‘ Capricorn dislikes: Almost everything at some point’

....I just got called out lol

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

i'm a cap moon, i relate

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

hi omona! hope you've survived this week and have a lovely weekend to look forward to! what are you up to? i'm staying at home this weekend, isolating myself before seeing my parents for christmas, i'm going to finish all my shows and the book i'm reading! that's my main mission lol

my two week holiday has started today and although i really needed it, it also stresses me out because i know i will be returning to a pile of work when i get back (i'm also annoyed because january was presented to me as a chill month but looking at the course i will be teaching and my grading work, i'm sure it won't be - i feel bamboozled!).

i finished up part of my grading and had a virtual department cocktail party where we got ingredients for 2 cocktails over the mail. i got a bit tipsy since i hardly drink anymore and i hadn't eaten anything and ended up bonding with three coworkers over yu-gi-oh lol
first year students of one of the courses i taught and i am also a mentor too had to write short skills reflections which they took surprisingly seriously. some of the messages were so cute, they've learned a lot! one of the students i worried about because their parents are very strict around academic performance, but struggled to get straight As (difficult in my department in general) wrote a moving message in their reflection:
"Moving half-way across the globe and into a completely new environment has definitely been one of the largest challenges for me this year. At the beginning I would often stress out about meeting my expectations for academic results. After talking to my mentor, I soon realized that I had to embrace the process of change and not to be too harsh on myself."
🥰🥰😭 i'm just so proud!!

lmao that bear video! we don't have bears here but i feel like they would be so shameless, like the pigeons are

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I hope you still manage to enjoy your holidays!
Lmao I feel like so many people are saying "congrats! teaching is great and you'll have chill moments!" because they only see the classes themselves, but all of my teacher friends have to do soooooo much work (prepping classes, correcting students...), this job is the opposite of chill !!! good luck with January <3

Omg that student message is so sweet ;__;

[chiives.livejournal.com]

it's one week til christmas and my brain is already running on mildly depressed vacation mode even when i still have a few days off work to go. it's gotten so bad that i've gone back to playing candy crush and i managed to hit 500 levels in 3 days and that's not a good thing. :/

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Oh and I hope people are having fun with the sexiest man contest, I’m skipping it since I have no horse in that race (I popped in and saw all these men I have no clue who they are lol) but I’ll wait patiently for the women’s contest

[paige-nevaeh.livejournal.com]

I’m also sitting out!
I think the only male idols that I know of who I find attractive are Hyunseung and the dudes from DMTN... but I think they’re outdated hotties.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

Wow my last FFA comment was probably in 2009 lol

A lot has changed in my life, and within me. But there are days when I sit alone in my room and still painfully miss DBSK halp

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

The nostalgia hurts. I was listening to one of the flashback friday posts from 2009 and went into a minor depression because those were such amazing times in kpop (and in my life). Not that my life isn't fine now, just...nostalgia.

[rose-potion.livejournal.com]

We're finally near the end of this hellish year \o/

This week I started terraforming my ACNH island because it's so ugly it depressed me. But I'm not creative so I need to get a simple natural design from Pinterest.
I hate all my villagers I need to get rid of them.

Gayo is done can't believe BTS did "I Need U" T.T

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Hello Omona! Hope you had a great week <3

I can't believe Christmas is already next week?!! it's all happening so fast. I felt like this year went by at the speed of a snail except December, absolutely flying by. I don't get it lol
I still have to buy present for my dad, my brother and SIL this weekend u__u


Like a pendulum, I've been back into "bad week", though thankfully it's still mild. I found it really hard to be motivated and effective at work for the last few days. Surprisingly I've managed to keep my flat cleaner than usually in those moments (having Kitty helps), the impact was more on my work and my boss definitively noticed the gradual decline too. We had a very open talk about how to adapt work/her management to prevent other "bad weeks" or react quicker. She'll try to have me at the office 4 days out of 5 (we're around 2 or 3 at the moment), it's not the best thing during a pandemic but between risking to (eventually) catch covid and seeing my mental health (currently) oscillating too much, I'll take the first option. We'll also go with a tighter management style, precise lists of tasks for a while... All of this options being discussed after she said "I need you and I want you to know it even though you might doubt it at the moment" I'm... idk ahhh what can I say. Where was she in previous jobs when I was in much worse conditions but no one above me addressed it and I had to handle everything by myself.
My psy in on holidays so I have to wait at least two weeks :/ I would have loved a talk with her.
It's really frustrating at the moment because it's the most stable I've been in years, I better see the signs, I react a lot quicker (honestly five days of slowly spiralling down before talking with someone? that's quick!!!) and I feel like I get back up quicker too. And yet I feel like I still always fall back, like it's an inevitable circle and I'll always be good! then less good with potential to feel really bad if I don't do anything! then picking myself back up! then good again! then less good again! and so on and so forth. Please let the good moments last longer at least so I can catch my breath u__u


To distract myself after work, I've been working on listing my favourite releases of the year and having a blast XD Currently rounding up two top 50 (singles/bsides) and one top 30 (albums) and trying to come up with a two sentence review that I'll be the only one reading lmao. Anyone doing something similar? please tell me I'm not crazy doing this XD
Are we going to have a best of 2020 post where we can share out faves? I would love to see which are your favourites!!!

I've caught up with half of Mandalorian s.2 so no finale spoiler please ;__; I intend to finish it tonight/this weekend.
But OMG I need to talk about the first half. AHSOKAAAAAAAA I was so happy to see her! Especially in such a great episode, I really loved it. It wasn't the most inventive scenario but I thought it was really well shot, it had a good balance of fights with character arc developements (Grogu ;__;) and just really introduced Ahsoka so well to people who might not know her (also she's looking for grand admiral THRAWN?!! I can't wait to see him too omg).
Anyway, I finally got Disney+ last weekend (... I know) in part because I want to rewatch The Clone Wars and Rebels animated series and well ok Ahsoka no need to follow me everywhere, I said I'll do it XD
Mando needs to teach the Child better food manners. The episode with the eggs was the stuff of nightmares... I have arachnophobia so I was terrified, and as someone also deeply afraid of the Alien movies, the way the spider eggs opened just omg I screamed (my cat judged me so hard). Then the Child ate it??!!!!! I'm utterfly DISGUSTED as well now/ My brother had gave me a trigger warning for this episode so I hid my screen right after/for the whole chasing scene, damn that was intense. So thankful for the TW lmao.
Anyone watching Mando?

hi omona! can't believe it's already Friday! I've also been cleaning and re-organizing this week. It'll be nice heading in to the new year.

Shout out to the 22 people who voted for Donghun in the first groups. It's funny seeing all the people who lurk voting too and how different their tastes are to the regulars. I'm ready Jun and Kai's round tho. I have a gif spam locked and loaded.

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

maaaaan this week just wasn’t it! work was crazy, i barely slept and to top it all off I RAN INTO MY EX’s MOTHER WHILE GOING ON MY DAILY WALK!!! so yeah, i am incredibly happy this week is over 🙌🏾!

hi omona!! I haven't commented on one of these in a bit. I'm burnt out and I want to reply to all of you individually wishing you a good december but I can't, so...I hope everyone's been doing well <3

Sidenote, I watched that video in the morning and lol-ed for a bit, now ALL of my Youtube videos are Finnish recommendations LMAO the algorithm is working real real hard

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

i'm just not in the christmas spirit this year and i'm not the only one. usually i'm jamming out to christmas tunes, but it just hasn't happened. i'm also exhausted and starting to get burn out again. i need a vacation. can't wait for next week. 4.5 day work week with a 3.5 weekend.

went to the eye doctor today to get the plug for my tear duct in my right eye. the left one is still there. i really thought i accidently pulled it out when rubbing my eyes since it's so dry in my house.go back in a month for a check up pretty much right after my oral surgery.

guess that's all for me at this moment in time.

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

omona what are you baking for xmas?


i'm gonna try to make fudge, puppy chow, and some types of cookies for my neighbors.

[aures.livejournal.com]

what kind of cookies?
