I've eaten a lot of sweets already since my holiday started. I tried a viral porridge at the Christmas market (it had miso fudge, cranberries, cardamom, and apples, super yummy!). I also went to a Korean style cafe i previously visited for Enhypen anniversary event. This time i got a carrot cake latte and a matcha cookie. I baked pistachio cookies which turned out great even though i haven't baked in 5 years! I also started a tea collection again, got some jasmine peach tea and chai.

For the first time I'm celebrating in my own way instead of just being nostalgic about the family Christmas of childhood. I'm making my own traditions. I donated to Doctors Without Borders helping the humanitarian crisis in DRC. 

Wishing everyone peace, love, and joy this holiday season 💖

New BL from last week:


Burnout Syndrome EP. 4

I love the shifting power dynamics in this series. The muse is also the boss. Koh shows his vulnerable side more and more to Jira, who is inspired by him and feels sexual attraction towards him. He sees Koh like fans are fascinated with handsome morally ambiguous characters. The series also posed an interesting question about the difference between work and desire - and can they be the same thing? That is what is happening currently in the relationship between Jira and Koh. Another interesting thing is that in their relationships they kind of switch the roles they have in society - Jira plays Koh in his work and Koh keeps himself home and dwells in his memories and angst. They constantly challenge each other. Also, the significance of art and human emotion are important parts of the story, something foreign to Koh but a key to his character's liberation. 


Heated Rivalry EP. 5

I loved this episode, it was very emotional and hopeful. I was pleasantly surprised that this series wasn't just a steamy romance but it also deals with homophobia, and family and career pressures. Shane and Ilya are such likeable characters, they're so different from each other and their dialogue always keeps me hooked. I loved the ending of this episode!
