My bedroom terrace here in the province is facing east, a few blocks farther but overlooking a rice field. I was greeted with a lovely sunrise this morning, finally able to get up early. The first time after a long time.
It’s finally October. My birth month.
Old Kimi would’ve started self-loathing, not finding enough reasons to look forward to something. But as I was taking in the tranquil morning breeze, a huge sense of gratitude came rushing in. It was scary. Because being grateful means something good is actually happening, and I’m not used to having a lot of good things coming my way. This time however, feels different.
I don’t think I’ve ever talked about this enough but finding Bangtan earlier this year has opened a lot of opportunities for me—- to be a more self-aware person, a little braver in letting go of something that does me no good anymore, an opportunity to be a little kinder and understanding, and most importantly, an opportunity to meet wonderful people.
I’m happy that I’m embracing my last year of being 25 saying good bye to all the painful and awful things in the past and welcoming my 26th with so much hopes and dreams.
When the second hand and the minute hand overlap,
the world holds its breath for a very brief momentZero O’Clock
And you gonna be happy

Waiting for all the Bangtan merch I ordered (Butter (peach ver.) album from Pinky⁷ & Yeye⁷, MOTS ON:E and 5th Muster Photobook c/o Marielle; Coldplay x BTS My Universe CD from Dimunyunnies and the most anticipated budol for this year, the Hybe In Ears! :D)
Excited for my Hybe In Ears to arrive. Hopefully my friend Marielle will ship it in time for my birthday. We’ve heard such good reviews about the in ears and how it does wonders especially when you’re using Dolby Atmos Apple Music. I really upgraded my phone and signed up for an Apple Music subscription for the in ears. It was a very expected but still surprising budol with my ARMY gc haha. Surprising because it didn’t really take a lot of convincing me to purchase it. But we found a shop that has on hand stocks here in the PH so we didn’t waste any time hahaha.
Starting Yumi’s Cells. I wanted to watch HomeCha and Squid Game since a lot has been raving about it but my head gets dizzy with all the buzz and I tend to withdraw from something that a lot of people are really into so Marielle vouched for Yumi’s Cells and I started on episode 1 already. :D Happy to know Choi Min-ho is one of the casts since I loved him when he played So-hoo in Hwarang. Can’t wait to get over my research so I can get a lot of binge-hours!
Working on Circe's website so it’ll be easier for customers to browse products and services and at the same time easier to track and monitor orders. Yet another reason to be so happy and grateful that i’m slowly coming out of my shell even in terms of business.
Reading nothing. I haven’t had the proper headspace these days to start on a novel but I’m excited because my friend Kebe and I are planning to be reading buddies and I’m just waiting for her to email me the books we’re going to read together.
