♢ My Youtube Hiatus ♢ (Why I prefer Blogging)

Helllooooo internet world,

After quite an inner conflict with myself, I made the ultimate decision to take a halt with my YouTube path. I've been so busy with my school and social life, I just couldn't find the time to create more content for my channel. YouTube just started to feel like a chore, and I absolutely hated that because I began YouTube as hobby. Although to begin with, I kinda felt like YouTube just wasn't going to be the right path for me.

If you have watched some of my YouTube videos you can tell I look VERY awkward. Okay sure, I might be a bit awkward in irl, but sometimes filming videos made me feel uncomfortable. It felt weird cause I didn't know what to say or how to act, that's why I like blogging- I can clearly type down all the right words I'm thinking in my head without any regrets.

And good lord let's not forget how time-consuming YouTube editing actually is. Doing YouTube for myself, I have a new profound respect for all YouTubers big and small. Editing the most basic video takes 2 hours+. And then there's always the dreadful process of uploading your video. THE STRUGGLE IS MORE THAN REAL.

For me, I actually do put in quite a bit of effort into my blog but you can honestly publish your blog post in seconds. It's hella convenient, for me at least.

And one more thing, my blog/Youtube kinda got discovered at school (thanks to the hoe who sold me out, you know who you are) and I realized "Dang. My videos are just really embarrassing." I quickly private the videos I wasn't proud of. I also deleted a few blog posts while I was at it cuz I realized how personal they were. Yeah, I wasn't really smart with some of the things I put on the internet. :3

I realize how much more conscious I have to be about what I put on this blog, dang it. But, on the bright side less people actually take the time to read my long-ass blog posts in comparison to watching videos so yay! ^.^

Nonetheless, I will still continue blogging. YouTube- not so much, although I may return to it sometime in the future.

*side note: I was going to have a YouTube collaboration with a fellow Youtuber quite some time ago but cut it off due to my hiatus and lack of inspiration to further my YouTube channel. I'd like to formally apologize to that Youtuber for any inconveniences I have caused.

On a much happier note,

Happy Birthday to the lovely Miss Mongchin! :)

Her blog MONGABONG has been one of my favorites since I was in Grade 6 and I still read it to this day! (haha okay fyi i'd be in like Form 2 if I still was in Malaysia but here in the U.S I'm already a freshmen so it makes it seem like i'm much older. muahaha.) Her blog posts are always perfect and it's safe to say she has been one of my inspirations for blogging! So to Mong, thank you! :)

Ooh btw, in honour of her bday- Mong is holding a giveaway on her Instagram! You can get all the details on her blog here.

My First High School Football Game!

Hey everyone! Long time, no blog! Super sorry about that!

Anyways, last night (9.2.16) was my First High School Football Game! (As a high school student at least!) I went to one last year in 8th grade for band night and it wasn't very fun.. But, last night was tons of fun!

Okay, so the original plan was that I was to meet up with friends from tennis. But, one of my tennis friends had to babysit her 7th grade cousin. And was mainly prioritized on her so, I kinda felt a bit left out. Then, somehow we kinda got separated.... #awkward. But, luckily I took the risk and went to the student bleachers section and found my long-time bff Calli there! She was hanging out with some of her friends (some I knew) and we all hung out together!

It wasn't as bad as I thought. There wasn't anything inappropriate happening at the student section- other than a few kids throwing their drinks around. :/ But other than that it was tons of fun!

We sat at the very top- cuz seniors get first row, then juniors, then sophmores, and the freshmen have to sit at the top. #reality And it was sooooo cold! Luckily my friends did their best to keep me warm. :) We basically talked a lot and I even met a few new people! :) Plus, we won!!! 14-0 :)


So yeah, not a very interesting post but honestly my life rn has been so stressful that night was just a great stress reliever, hanging out with friends, and cheering on my school! I was just so happy. :) I hope you guys are happy rn as well! And I hope I'll have a better blog post in store for you guys soon. Love you so much and I hope you have an awesome week! :)

xoxo,

My First Day of High School ♡ Experience

Hi everyone! ♡ Hope all is well! So today was my first day of high school- omg~ I made a Get Ready With Me video but, the quality isn't very good so I don't know if I'm going to upload it tbh. Anyways,

I wanted to quickly type down everything that happened today (17.8.16), while it's still fresh in my mind.

Life Lately: Reflecting, Making the Tennis Team, Freshmen Orientation, & Korean Classes?!

Hey everyone! ♥ If you remember, I actually told you guys that I was going to a Korean Church Retreat not too long ago. I actually got back last week and I can say it was an amazing experience! The trip was 4 days, 3 nights at a Christian University a few hours away from home. There was over 1,000 Korean-American teens there and the vibe at Worship was so amazing...
