2023 Holiday Recap

Hello to anyone who might be reading this. Apologies for not having posted in awhile! I have been pretty occupied with writing fanfics and spending time with my family for my birthday and the holidays.

Yesterday was the start of my new semester, but I just wanted to post a quick recap of my break! Just the highlights, anyways.

So, firstly, we saw some Christmas lights after New Years. Honestly, I was kind of bummed since they weren’t really as great as I remember them being. Maybe that’s just because I’m older now, who knows. We still had a good time even if the cupcakes admittedly tasted kind of stale. Wish I could show you guys the lights, but then that would kind of doxx me, so…

My family and I took a friend of mine to a fun theme park nearby! We had a great time. Together, we saw some of their shows and rode the rides. Admittedly, the rides are kind of… eh, not super thrilling. I guess that could just be since I’m older now, but I still really enjoy them. We also went to a fancy little Italian restaurant afterwards! The food wasn’t as good as I remember it being, unfortunately. I guess people are just getting cheaper with what they make in general.

Then, on the 21st, it was my birthday! It was pretty fun. We went to the big nerd bazaar as usual, but I didn’t really buy anything. Just didn’t feel like it I guess. I splurged on clothes instead. My friend and I did stop by an Asian market though. I bought some type of cherry blossom plum snack and a (supposed) milk tea drink. I say supposed because it pretty much just ended up being… jello. I guess it wasn’t bad, but I wish it was more of an actual drink.

Afterward, my dad took us to hot pot! We had to try a different restaurant since the one I usually go to for my birthday was too crowded. It was pretty good. I wasn’t too great at navigating it so I missed out on some good food. Oh well, I liked it. My friend and I had a pretty good time!

After hot pot, I got some boba. Just tradition heh. I love my Thai Tea.

My friend got me a Foxy blanket for my birthday! I might share a photo of it sometime, but I am very grateful.

Overall, I’m pretty sad that school has started again. What can I really do about it, though? Until next time.
