no plot, just vibes

Hey friend, thanks for opening! Happy first week of December! Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? NEITHER HAVE I!!! bless. Pls rec your strongest Christmas gift selection so far tnx. hahaha. -K

Last night I dreamt that I mistakenly organized an in-person reunion and mass-sent the invite to both my high school and college batchmates, and that I was so confused when I showed up because there were so many people. Yeah, this was definitely an anxiety dream lmao.

Anyway, incidentally, when I woke up this morning and checked my Facebook, I found a recently uploaded video that my high school batchmates did, of them singing Des’ree’s You Gotta Be over Zoom and IT WAS SO GOOD. It was also to mark our batch’s 20th graduation anniversary this year HAHAHA I can already imagine C cackling at this number. I’m not sure if it’s viewable or if the original poster had restricted it, but for record-keeping’s sake, I just thought I’d put that link there.

Anyway, here’s Des’ree:

The more I try to look back at high school, the further away that version of myself seems to be–do you even think about the versions of yourself you left behind, and how for some people that’s all they’re ever left with? Like, especially if they’re not joining the rest of your journey, so to speak. My high school self was… a handful, I guess? And as anybody who came out after high school is wont to tell you–barely recognizable haha.

But I do admire her energy! C and I were talking about how impossibly hectic our high school schedules were, and I realized that, at the time I was training for the team in junior and senior year, I was in school before 7 and out of it AFTER 7 MWF I think? School 7-4:30, then basketball 5:30-7? How is this even real? Buti na lang wala akong iniintinding love life?? Buti wala kaming cable?? Walang socmed at internet para diretso homework + tulog pagdating sa bahay lmao.

In any case–I do think we are the persons that we need to be at any point in our lives. Even the horrible versions, and the kalat ones–most especially the kalat ones! I swear to god, i think god distributes kalat throughout our lives in accordance with our energy. He literally will not give you kalat you cannot ligpit HAHA.

Speaking of kalat:

HOY BEA AND JLC ANO TO–and yes I am legitimately asking because we haven’t watched the full thing, kasi tangina naman nitong TWICE T____T (no not really, we’re absolutely mfing SPOILED with content–six comebacks in 2021, pwedeng magpahinga mga te!)

A bit sad I can no longer just paste my Twitter links on here because I recently went back to private–nothing to be alarmed about, just that I recently noticed a surge of strange accounts adding to my follower count, so I decided to let the surge pass meantime.

Serious Corollary: A colleague was recently on the receiving end of trolling and the troll played the employer card :( If you haven’t reported this tweet yet as targeted harassment, pls do?

From the internet

Was She Just Another Nicely Packaged Pain Delivery System? via NYT Modern Love and oh god, more rep for lesbians of age finding love again pls??? That first line floored me.

Spotify Wrapped 2021 just dropped and mine is, expectedly, TWICE all over. But yeah, we all know the platform that should also be dropping a Wrapped:

LMAO

Anyway, here’s my favorite meme for this week. Christmas-themed para in keeping with the times HAHAH

Let’s stay sane enough to have our holidays in peace ksksks
