2023 has been a better year than the previous ones filled with many familiar things and a few new things that I have experienced. My highlights won’t be organised from January to December as it’s easier to put relate things/events under the same heading.
Key Events
- saw Stray Kids in Melbourne on 18th February
- met a great group on stays due to a fan meet up before the concert
- had my 1 year channel anniversary for ASMR Roseia
- Changed my hair three times
- watched more kdramas and fell into that rabbit hole.
Birthday Parties
- Myrene’s Harry Potter themed birthday
- My Fantasy themed birthday
School
In 2023 I only took one subject which was Pastoral care, during semester 2, semester 1 I took off as the enrolled subject was too hard for me to understand.
Eurovision
The Eurovision Song Contest has been in my life since 2010 and this year was a little different in how I joined in with the Eurovision Community as the fan sites and fan press and the fans that follow them were locked out of the 1st and 2nd rehearsals and I had to rely on the official blog and tik tok to keep up with the rehearsals. I missed catching up with my ESCxtra family and hope that I can enjoy 2024 rehearsals with them.
The five preview parties i reviewed in 2022 were:
I attended the OGAE Australia Melbourne preview party, and my costume was France 2022. I have been attending the OGAE Australia Melbourne preview parties since 2021. I held my normal watch parties for the two semi-finals and the grand final with 2 friends that came all 3 nights and I made my review process easier by placed the countries into 5 groups and just scoring each out of 15. all the scores allowed me to form a top 37, so this was how i finished off my thoughts about Eurovision 2023.
Hair Colours
In 2022 I changed my 2023 I changed my hair colour three times and went from a bob to a shorter style
- I started the year with teal with my bangs staying blonde
- 23rd march my hair went to dark pink with light pink
- 13 June my hair changed to red and it stayed this way till December
- the length of my hair was a bob till 26th October when it went short again
- 7th December subtle black was added to give the red some dimension and contrast.
K pop
In 2023 I have watched three online K pop events with two of them being fan events and the other was an awards show. The two fan events were Stray Kids – Pilot: for 5 star and Xdinary Heroes – Summer Camp and the award show was MMA 2023 (more commonly known as melon music awards) I went to my very 1st in person Kpop concert and met some amazing Stays in person at a fan meet up before the concert. By the end of the year the rest of the members of BTS had started their mandatory Military service.
K-dramas
I watched Nine K dramas in 2023. they were:
- My roommate is Gumiho
- Tale of the nine tailed fox season 1 (re watched 3 times) and 2 (re watched 5 times)
- Destined with you
- Goblin
- Doom at your service
- A Good Day to be a Dog
- My Demon
- My Man is Cupid
- Heartbeat
I played a few video games in 2023 with three PC games and 2 Mobile games. The PC games were the Sims 4 , Disney Dreamlight Valley and Pentiment. I am currently playing Pentiment for a 4th time overall on my ASMR channel in 30 mins parts. The two Mobile games I have played are Songpop Classic and Songpop.
Overall, 2023 has been a busy year for me but I am excited for 2024 and all the new experiences and challenges I will encounter.
