Happy birthday, Old Man! At your actual age, are you still qualified to be a Saint of Athena? hohoho.

My own b-day was celebrated with pizza, lemon tea, and checking parts of a fanfic's first draft.

My friends: *learn and master other languages for work and fannish purposes*
Me: *probably still pronounce anyeong haseyo wrong*

I'm so into K-pop idol groups nowadays, you have no idea. Or maybe you do. Mostly I fangirl alone and don't actively join fandoms, because I'm at that phase rn in my fannish life.

This week is a holiday week in Indonesia, and since I have no pressing deadlines, I feel like I'm holidaying too. Work starts again next Monday. Meanwhile I'm immersing myself in short fiction.

Reread diaries from undergraduate years. (I like pretty books so keeping journals is a good excuse to buy them) School only got a passing mention and the rest is fangirling. Sounds familiar?

American Idol S11 has started. The judges are getting nicer by the season, aren't they?
