#sitathings

Hi, I'm Sita! I’m moving here from my main tumblr account from now on! Not that anyone concerned, but this will be one of my study account from today too~ Perhaps I will also share some flash fictions and doodles, who knows.

This blog is currently under maintenance (since I'm trying to re-figure out my life irl) so maybe I will post bookish stuff instead of studying for some while.

Tags I’ll use:

It's Friday and I feel so sleepy but what's new? This is a mint latte I ordered. It's not too sweet as I imagined, but it's nice.

For a change of scenery, I visit a local cafe not too far from my office. It's nice and spacious and bright because of natural light, an exact opposite of my office building. A lot of people said my office has a PC방 vibe... because the lighting is dim and there are computers and laptops everywhere....

Was touching grass with my friend yesterday 🌿 we went to this book fair held in this building surrounded by water and ate some fried noodles and rice and dimsum for lunch 🥟

January 14th 2025

Since January is the Monday of the year, it can’t be helped that I am, too, tempted to make a ton of to-do list ahahaha.

After a full year of not posting here except for reblogging stuff, I thought I’ll come back here for more posting. Not super committed, though, I tell myself to not be burdened because posting here supposed to be fun and not like a chore! I will set my expectation low for now.

But it doesn’t mean that starting easy hinders me to wanting to do things, so for now:

I really want to pick up reading and writing long review again. I’ve done some short book reviews in my instagram, but sometimes I have a lot of things to say, and cramming them into ten slides feels….too much. Hopefully, I can alternate between posting long reviews for books that I can’t get enough in my blog again, and posting short ones in instagram.

Also, I need to actually read every paperbacks that I have. So, no buying unnecessary books for now!!!

I kinda gave up in learning Mandarin by myself? LMAO but I find it hard to concentrate by myself, so I definitely need to enroll in a class if I want to pursue Mandarin further. I have several options in mind, and I might need to look into my budget this year if I really want to get it.

HOWEVER, I think I want to self-learning Korean as the alternative?? It helps so much that I can read hangeul already ahaha so I can just dive into the stuff. Besides, as an avid enjoyer of South Korean entertainment since my school days, I think I already have the abstract basics of…of the Korean language... yeah. I have looked into the resources list people have posted here, and I might hunt a new notebook soon :3

For work-related stuff, I really need to upgrade my work-related skills. I write for work and all these usage of AI is very disheartening, but sadly I can’t deny the temptation of its usage, especially for people who aren’t in the creative industry. What can I do for now is to upskill myself, keep learning, and find out ways to make myself relevant.
