WELCOME TO MY NOTES WALL date format: DD.M.YY
I used to use my stickynote block for random reminders. The sticky note block is grid rather than dots from Daiso (when it was 2.80 AUD :sob:). That is the vibe I'm trying to emmlate- random sticky notes on the wall.

Inspo from AID'S LISTFAUXGRAPHY and ALTALENAE LIST
This page is coded by me with using display:grids! I'm proud of myself :^) huehue

I am completely SMASHED by assesments. Weird thing is, I can complete them in a timely matter and they are well spaced out BUT I WAS PROCRASINATING!! Even as I am typing this, I have an assesment due TONIGHT! I feel so burnt out or just extremely over academia, but I would feel so behind if I take a break. The FOMO is REAL! With the current potentially WW3 and economic crisis, I want to finish my degree and start working ASAP. Like, do I work, save and spend it all when the war's over? How long is it going to take? Will I still have the physical health to travel? IDK it's my first time being an adult. Kinda scary MY HEAD HURTS I DRANK A V ENEGERY DRINK AND MY SLEEP DEPRIVATION IS CATCHING UP TO ME MY TABLE IS COVERED MY SCHOLO PAPERS
10.4.26
I'm closing 'glasses' aka blogging page until I decide realistically what to blog. I am into history, which transitioned into politics I think since 13 years old so I am very vocal and passionate about certain topics. I want to reevaluate how and what political things should be shared or what not. Since I want my site to be a safe place, I do not want anyone to turn away because they do not agree with my political views or I disagree with theirs. I want to share my experiences of life and how I view things hopefully to allow others to expand their worldviews. Pushing people away because of differences... IMO is not progressive.
Featured music
Venezuela (song in album)
Latin music is scratching some part of my head rn. This song is a banger, a bosa nova love song to a Venezuela.
Waiting Room (single)
Jenevieve is really underrated IMO. I think she should be even more popular. Anyways, this song is a bop, I've been listening to it since release
petal black rock (album)
My favourite track is ear to the cocoon. The whole albumn resonates with my current situation, it feels raw and comforting. New albumn by (arguably) the most talented nepobaby Willow Smith.
Chuwi (artist)
I saw them perform live while working at Bad Bunny's concert (off topic- Bad Bunny concert was awesome, it makes me want to attend a concert). I love their messaging, storytelling and energy.
Youtube content
When cousins mary WATCHI admire the cultural sensitivity of the docu maker especially for a deeply complicated and nuianced cultural practice and belief.
MUSSOLINI: How Fascists Win & Lose WATCHAs a history nerd, I love this video. It makes me think about how nolstalgia is weaponised. As well as the relationship between fascism and false nationalistic nolstalgia. I already knew Mussolini still have supporters when his children or grandchildren is running for politics; however, I underestimated the support for him.
you can't cancel what people want WATCHI wholeheartedly agree with this video. It's funny because Kanye is very well aware of this too LOL! It fits because I learnt about Max Harris (Australian modernist poet) who was disgraced because he published a satirical poetry mocking modernism (Ern Malley hoax). Whereas a Nazi romance (The Hand That Signed the Paper) was praised by schollars because the writing was good- but people didn't really vibed with modernism
My brain is all over the place rn and i have ideas that i would forget and randomly remember again so heres a list:
    - book review: the courage to be disliked
    - personal curic for cups: mining and odessey plan
    - start doodling journal
    - practical sewing projects to try (NO SEWING MACHINE)
    - 2025 impulsive trendy fashion buy regrets
    - saying goodbye to my wellworn clothes (jeans, 2015-2025; jacket, 2012-2025)
22.3.26 why I don't use grammar checking applications? If you notice my grammar SUCK or I am not being coherent, it's because I am NOT using autocorrect or autogrammar bots. STRAIGHT OFF MY NOGGING ONTO THE HTML FILE BAYYBEE!! If I can't spell something, I will search up the word, and I rely on the 2-3 grammar classes I had to take as an English student. My grammar would still suck because I am still human and English is my second language LOL I don't even read books (ok I do read textbooks and journal articles), I listen to them. I stopped using Grammarly because it is AI and it flag the system for markers as potentially AI. I also notice using Grammarly doesn't make my work better and it's annoying having to declare my use of AI in assesments. So yeah no Grammarly for me ^w^)7

    PINC LOUDSI saw a TikTok where the main singer sung on the streets (I think in 2022??). I love this song's vibes and I come back to this once in a while
    My deviant art that I use as an archive. I stopped drawing at 16 years old-ish and now I just sketch for funsies. I don't have an artstyle or really tried to be professional. I could but meh. I actually know someone who draw portraits as a side hustle. I know because she somehow drew a portrait of my highschool's career advisor. What a small world fr.
