Hello everyone! Welcome to the third monthly wrap-up of this year. Oh, I really hope to continue writing these monthly wrap-up posts for a long-long time. Back then when I first stepped into this series, I was just following other bloggers who did it, I thought it was cool, but now when I think about it, it’s more than just content.
It feels like I’m documenting my days and when I realized this you don’t know how good it felt. Like you know I’m always forgetting things, I don’t even remember what exactly I did the day before yesterday, I guess I’m not quite sure about yesterday either, and I’m not even consistent with my diary. So hopefully, when in future someone (to be precised that someone is going to be me) tries to find traces of me, they will find this page.
So yes, I love writing these posts. Now without any further ado, let’s get started with March 2024 monthy review…
Movies/K-dramas
I watched nothing new I guess. However, it doesn’t really matter to someone like me who loves to rewatch their favorite shows over and over. I revisited my childhood memories by watching Barbie: Mariposa & The Fairy Princess, Barbie: Rock n Royals, and Barbie: The Pearl Princess. You could have found me crying a few times watching these movies after so long you know, it felt so nostalgic.
Then I started to watch Harry Potter again. I’ve watched the first three movies of the series a large number of times but the later ones, I had only watched them once and that was years ago so I decided to watch them again. There’s no denying how much I love HP movies, the cast, and everything but it made me forget some details I read in the books only, so I now I wanna read the novels again.
It’s been a long time since I watched any new K-dramas, I have a long watchlist but I just don’t where to start. So for a change, I dived into the very first K-drama I had ever watched – The Village: Achiara’s Secret. I think I talked about it once on my blog after I first watched it, now the rewatch made the story a lot more clear to me, and I must say again that it’s a brilliant thriller-mystery combination.

Oh, I love this song drunk text. And when I heard Chenle’s version of it, gosh it stole my heart. His voice is just my favorite. I also listened to a lot of Selena Gomez songs on shuffle. She brings back so many memories I love her. Then Taeyong’s 404 series, I can’t describe how special it is to me. And Run Away too, I didn’t like the song that much when I first listened to it but now I’m obsessed with it.
Blogging
I’m very happy and satisfied with the posts I published in March. It has finally started to feel like I’m getting back on track again as a blogger. But I want to interact more with the blogs I’m following because I really couldn’t be active on my WordPress reader the whole month. I tried to stay off my phone’s screen as much as possible because I’m afraid my eyesight is getting weak. Still, I succeeded in posting 4 posts in March and I think that’s an improvement. My blog stats are also improving each month so that’s a big motivation to stay consistent. Anyway, here are the blog posts I published in March…
- Four months into my first job – Here’s how my experience has been so far
- Whom to blame, you’re the one who understands
- Coming home
- What hosting a game show taught me // Lessons learned in college
Life
Life was, well, quite boring but also fun on some days in March. Boring it was because summer has arrived you know, and you’ll see me in my clumsiest form in summer. Thankfully Holi kept me in high spirits for a few days. I had such a great time celebrating Holi this year. We literally played for three days straight. First day with friends, second day with family, then third day with relatives. It was wholesome.
The first quarter of the month went in exams and practicals. I was glad that they didn’t make us sit at home for long and started classes for the next semester in a couple weeks. I still can’t believe that I’m just one semester away from my third year in college.
Time is getting cruel now. I can see those questions and suggestions coming at me again that always make me feel like a loser. I just don’t understand why am I doing this, like what I want to do, why am I always running as hard as I can even when I don’t know what I’m searching for, and why can’t I just take a break. One of the reasons why I actually like to be occupied with tasks even if it gets hectic is because whenever I’m at home doing nothing, it always feels like there’s something inside eating me up.
There was a day when I found myself playing songs on spotify but I really had no idea what was I listening to. I played one from my On Repeat playlist, tried to cheer up myself and sing along… I couldn’t. My mind just felt heavy but I didn’t even know what I was exactly thinking about, it just felt sad and dark. I hate seeing myself like that, I can’t bear myself not paying attention to songs because music has always been more than just listening to me. It’s like a support system, a lifestyle. No matter whether I’m feeling good or bad, there will always be a certain song, lyric, tune, or artist that I can lean onto. And just having that thought gives me hope that we’ll be fine.
Until then let’s be strong and keep swimming together.
How was your month? Let me know in the comments.
Thanks for reading!
