small things


happy saturday, everyone. yesterday was a bit of a ride (cue the mini breakdown), but i've leveled out now. all is good.

so, i don't think i've mentioned this, but i've been dabbling in studying a bit of indonesian lately. and i stumbled on the coolest thing. it's not the basic greetings-- it's how they form new words! they have this thing called 'reduplication', but not just repeating a word to make it plural. sometimes, repeating a word totally changes its meaning. for example, mata means "eye." but mata-mata? that means "spy." how cool is that?? it feels like a secret code. (i'm now convinced all spies should have to learn indonesian as part of their training, huehue).

in other news, i was thinking of entering the silent manga contest... until i realized submissions close in march. i have a draft, but let's just say it's currently speaking the silent part a little too well. it's... bad. so uh, that's a new side quest i've picked up, i guess. idk... we'll see if i have the motivation n confidence.

i finally changed my spacehey layout, and it was actually so much fun :3 i spent way too long on it, but for once i made a whole new layout from scratch instead of just swapping out the hex codes and images on my previous ones. it felt really good to actually design something again instead of just tweaking.

(don't judge me for having another persona 3 phase in big 2026... the osts are just too good!!!! i can't help it ;;).

i also had the strangest, most vivid dream that i was in a super cozy book club. we were all discussing stuff in depth, and it felt so real. maybe i've been watching too many book review videos lately (looking at you, frankie's shelf...). it was a nice dream, though. too good to be trueeeee!!!!!!

as for plans? not many. just trying to keep it slow, maybe fix that "manga" draft, maybe watch kdramas all day (which is most likely to happen...), and try not to have any more dramatic linguistic revelations before monday....

qotd: if you had to describe your current life chapter as a movie genre, what would it be?

hope your weekend is gentle~ and....

koi logging out.

hi koi, happy saturday!! i hope it’s been good for u so far :D

ooh, indonesian!! everyone is learning languages, i love it~ reduplication sounds cool, i would’ve assumed it “mata mata” meant “eye eye” smh. how creative!!!

AAA if u join the manga contest that would be so exciting!!! ur drawing skills are awesome ^o^

i saw ur new layout yesterday, it’s so cute!!! i love all the blue and the rilakkuma photo~ also, how the heck did u give ur nav links different background colors like that? it caught my eye bc it’s such a cute little detail.

what a nice dream!!! hopefully u can revisit the book club in future dreams.

my life is like the aftermath of an action movie rn. there has been destruction but i’m alive and well and things can return to being peaceful. for now…..

i hope the rest of ur weekend is relaxing and fun!! talk sooooon~

hi nara!! happy saturday to you too :D it's been pretty eventful~

thank you so much about the layout ;; i'm really glad you like it! as for the different nav colours, it's all done with something called :nth-child() in css. basically, you can target each specific link in your nav list (like the first, second, third one). here's the basic structure of the code if you want to try it:

nav .links li:nth-child(1) a {
background: /* your colour here */;
}

you just change the number inside the brackets (1, 2, 3...) to match the link's position, and then change the colour value.

and thank you for the sweet words about the manga contest n the dream :,]

i can totally understand why you'd feel like you're in an action movie aftermath right now :( sending you all the wishes for a quiet, peaceful, slice-of-life kind of weekend. you deserve it~!!

hi hi koi~

OOOOOOO INDONESIAN!!! that's so cool. reduplication is so awesome too??? iirc, tagalog does that sometimes too. (i don't know it, but based off of what i've happened to hear over the years.)

YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!! i mean, even if you're not totally proud of it, at least you'll get a feel for what the contest will be like, and you can plan ahead for the next one. u miss all the shots u don't take~

i saw ur new layout!!! i luv it so much, the notebook feel is so cozy. i esp love the color palette!!! there's something v peaceful about it~

eep, what a fun dream~ (ALSO FRANKIE'S SHELF?????? I WATCH THAT CHANNEL TOO SOMETIMES KAHFKJDS, tho my main book channels r cari can read n the book leo... it's not too good to be true!!! perhaps there could be book clubs online for u to join, or @ local libraries *_*)

a movie genre... i really don't know, actually. my life is pretty boring right now, to create a movie out of it would be a herculean task. maybe coming-of-age? the very beginning, perhaps, where it's super boring n stuff.

bye koi~ good luck with the draft and the language studying!!! get lots of rest too~

hi eugene!!

SO COOL!!! it's such a fascinating little linguistic thread~ and thank you for the huge boost of confidence about the contest >_< that's such a good way to look at it; just getting the feel for it. i might just go for it, even with the messy draft!!!

and omg you watch frankie's shelf too?? that's so cool!! (cari can read n the book leo are also amazing, you have great taste >:3). the online book club idea is a good one... maybe i'll look into that instead of just dreaming about it, huehue.

oooo ngl those quiet, in-between chapters are important too, even if they don't feel cinematic. thanks for the good luck and rest wishes~ you get lots of rest too!! talk soon eugene :]
