Time to change the schedule as usual lol. I just felt like writing this since it’s the last Saturday of the year, of the decade. Dayum, time sure flies.
There is not much to review as such but as I reflect on the past year, I do think I have grown quite a lot. And made dozens or so more friends. And solidified some previous friendships while cut out a few people from my life as well.
Moved places, learnt to thrive under pressures. Still don’t have any stable place to be at but tackling one thing at a time. Set up a new home, including buying all the furniture that I never bought when I was a student. Also realized that all those years I spent honing my listening skills for Korean and Japanese might not have been as much waste as I have always thought, since I can actually understand conversations. I shall take it to next level now and practice for real. 2020 resolution.
Another resolution I have is to save more money. I have been working towards a debt free life and well, I still need to take an account of where I stand right now. Guess, that’s what I am doing on the only holiday that I get on January 1st, 2020.
Also added a few anime and dramas under my belt. But cut off from manga altogether. Did read quite a bit of webcomics including Korean and Chinese, but that’s about it. Discovered Stray Kids as artists. We all lost a few artists to mental health and a few left their respective groups.
2019 was also a year of scandals in K-pop world, not that it’s not normal. But a few persisted with their love, and few just went out of their minds. Happens with most of us, nothing new.
All in all, it was a year of major tragedies. Our beloved animation house went through a major fire too. All the hard-work lost and so many people came together to help them. Does restore your faith in humanity, does it not?
In terms of learning, I have been learning much at my new job. Yet again, I am not even sure if I will be able to stay in this country to begin with. Anyway, we will enjoy while we can. Then it’s all up to God or whatever entity you believe in.
With this, we will close the year and the decade with much blessings and love to everyone who has supported and read this blog through all these years. The new website is still in plan and I have few more things under works. Hopefully I get them to finish and showcase next year.
