a busy busy month i wont lie and also how did it go by so quickly ? idk whats going on at all also ignore that this is super late lol.
watching
movies
> minions: the rise of gru: the only movie i’ve watched in february,,, wow. anyways this was fine,, not very good and pretty forgettable… despicable me 2 will forever be the superior movie from this franchise.
tv
> spy x family: this was actually so cute i absolutely understand the hype it was getting while airing and i watched it in like 3 days so i really liked it!! love loid’s love for anya <33
> to my star s1 rewatch: watched tms s1 before watching s2 and im actually very glad i did,,, i just love seojun so much i loved it nearly as much as i did the first time.
> to my star 2: our untold stories: i really liked this season ???? i feel like jiwoo’s concerns were so valid and i also really just liked the small town vibes and jiwoo not wanting to change his restaurant/stay true to himself even when it wasn’t working as well as he wanted,,,, but let me just say i was Not expecting the angst,,, esp not after they released those photos of seojun and jiwoo with their rings,, like ? but i liked the way they explored the characters! the scene where jiwoo stops the glass from breaking subconsciously made me so T___T. when you know a person in and out and find yourself completely adapting towards them :////
> kinnporsche: um well this has been teased for like 2 years now so i am glad it finally came out,,, and as fucked up as this show was,, i enjoyed some parts of it ? i Loved porsche’s character in the first few episodes,,, the goofiness was so endearing and i wish we had gotten more of that in the later episodes. but also,,,, kinn and porsche are Cousins????? ayo what the fuck. that was the end of me enjoying them together bc wtf can we not do this. i really enjoyed seeing pete beat the shit out of vegas though. that was fun. tankhun was also one of the most entertaining characters too and i love tong.
> sky in your heart: this was cute,, nothing super special but i did tune in every friday and enjoyed it just fine.
variety
> come on! the boyz: god-saeng: finished this up and i really enjoyed it,,, i miss my weekly tbz content. i loved the last few episodes,,, manito gifts were so funny i love my boyz.
> hybe x game caterers: why was this sooo good. i wasn’t expecting to enjoy it sm but ive stanned literally every group that attended at some point, and this got me into le sserafim as well!! i feel like fromis really got to shine in this and txt were so funny as always,,, and mingyu being unable to resist soobin’s charm was soooo cute i need more of these cross-group contents,,, idc if it has to be limited to certain companies.
i also started saessak harmony but i only watched the first episode and also watched various gose eps,,, my love for svt is still going strong.
reading
i dont think i finished a single book this month,,, and seeing as i Never read during august i dont think this month will be any better. but i will try to at least finish one book :D
fic
> underneath it all by gunwoong: im gunwoong fan and i ate this fic right up !!! so good,,, bbangmil are everything to me and i love sports i love actor fics i loved this sooo much i loved the fake relationship evolving into a real one,,, this is so precious.

barely listened to music bc i got sick during the middle of july and was busy with traveling at the end of the month so these numbers are pretty measly. but i loved world,,, maybe even more than hot. svt cb was definitely my highlight of the month, at least musically!
writing
wrote 1k over the entire month. um. well clearly i was going through stuff and i had the busiest month ever so… honestly i think this is how my writing’s gonna look for the rest of the year but im making peace with it bc idk i like knowing that i can write whenever i have time and whenever i want to but im also feeling happy in other ways so i dont have to depend on writing daily to be happy ? idk if that makes sense but this is the first month this year that im not feeling bad about my monthly wc and i think its the month that ive written the least? anyways the 1k that i did write was for jumilric which is honestly nearly done so i hope i can finish it up before classes start next week!
overall
this month was wack bc i went on a family trip at the beginning of the month, had finals for my summer classes, my cousins family came over for a weekend and i got sick right after that… and as soon as i got better it was time for my trip with my friends and then the month was over! idk how this month went by so fast like time is not real.
classes start in a week and i feel like all ive been doing this summer is packing and unpacking but im so grateful and happy that i was actually able to travel this summer bc im happier than ive been in years. im busier with school but also with plans with friends and family and that just makes me sooo happy <3
i hope everyone has a good august <3 also tune into tbz and cix cbs this month they will not disappoint <3
