Hangul - Blog Posts
greetings from quarantine
A silver lining: use quarantine as an opportunity for healing. Yes, I am putting aside all the negative things about the whirlwind of what is happening right now, because:
1. We all know that
2. This is my personal happy place
3. I’m not giving that microscopic horror a spotlight on my blog
4. But please do cooperate! Stay indoors, take your vitamins, wash your hands/sanitize, and always keep safe!
Since my work is at full halt until the lockdown is lifted, I have been spending most of my time on my hobbies and interests. Perhaps this is what you call a “distraction masterlist”, a distraction from all the crazy that’s been going on, and these are the things and the people that keep me sane and what gives me genuine happiness during these very difficult times.
1. Orenji Project Orenji Project is a brand that I’m currently building. For now, I’ve been doing plenty of passion projects and fanart to increase my audience, but I do plan on turning it into something bigger in the future. (hint: selling my own merch) Even though I work as a Multimedia Designer on my day job, I feel like designing is still my #1 hobby. It’s just what I love to do! I just finished doing a collection of collages and I plan on making a zine next. I’m really excited because I love making visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing layouts. I get to conceptualize, write, and produce it all from start to finish, HELLA FUN!
2. AB6IX (A.K.A. The Best Boys™)
Get yourselves kpop boys who’ll teach you how to make soap and hand sanitizers during a pandemic, haha! Kidding aside, I’m honestly very thankful to them for giving us so much content these days so we won’t be deadass bored while we’re stuck at home. April fools’ pranks, mafia game night, Idol Radio week, and just Youngmin failing to sew a belt for an hour whilst never forgetting to remind their fans to always wear a mask, wash their hands, and stay at home, that’s some high quality content if I do say so myself. ㅋㅋㅋ I love these precious kids to bits and I’m very grateful. Just being their fan gives me so much delight and joyousness. Although they’re helping to flatten the curve, I’m very worried for them since they’re risking their health. 예삐들 잘지내시고 건강하세요! 많이 많이 사랑해요 ♡
3. Korean Language Lessons
While trying not to fall deep into unproductivity and bad habits, I thought why not continue this again? I’ve always been interested in studying languages so I chose to self study Korean/Hangul back in 2017, but I was busy with my last 2 years in college then I had a full-time job so I didn’t have a lot of time for it until now. I still have long ways to go but I’m at Lesson 10 out of 17 a.k.a. learning how to use future, past, and present tenses in sentences. As I type right now, 3 languages are getting scrambled up in my brain; nonetheless, I still love learning! I love studying, memorizing, and taking down notes. I guess that’s a hobby now too since I already graduated from college? Haha. Also, a friend invited me to take Japanese classes with her, so I guess that’s the next agenda after this.
4. Bon Appétit
Bon Appétit, the only Youtube channel ever. Period. I love this channel and I’ve been binge watching their videos since the start of the quarantine. From a recommended “It’s Alive” episode, I fell down on a very deep rabbit hole of culinary videos I never knew I needed in my life. Why didn’t you recommend this to me sooner Youtube algorithm? Google AI overlord? My secret FBI agent? I trusted you guys! I absolutely adore everyone in BA, though my all time favorite chef is Chris. His show, Reverse Engineering, is so fun and satisfying to watch! Plus his small cameos on Gourmet Makes and It’s Alive are way too comical, never fails to make me laugh. The way he always wants his work perfected to a T, I relate to that way too much, and I get little pockets of happiness in my heart when he gets an ingredient right, especially if it’s cheese, haha! Runner-ups:
5. My family and friends, of course.
Actually, this would #1 but I don’t wanna be cheesy like that. Vibin’ with my fams all day and video chatting with my friends at night has been keeping me sane. Always love and appreciate them to bits.
6. KJH PH
Being a somewhat lead designer for a fanbase has been keeping me pretty busy at times. Not to be that pabibo designer, but I even made digital branding guidelines for the fanbase, haha! (note: I’m really that pabibo designer, sorry I couldn’t help it)
7. Last but definitely not the least, Hospital Playlist
GREAT DRAMA. AMAZING CHARACTERS. LOVE IT. ALOHA SOTY. LEE IKJOON LOML. WATCH IT!
To anyone who’s reading this: I hope you’re staying at home and doing well. Please continue to take care of yourself as well as your mental health! When this is all over, please come back to this post and tell me you’re alive and good, alright?
