their mellower tracks, ditto and cool with you, are my personal favorites. cool with you, having been composed by erika de casier (essentials is such a good album), is a standout for me. newjeans' discography is nothing short of perfect... i miss them everyday.

桂花. i ordered a 40mg tisane and it smells heavenly, as if someone dipped petals in honey. tastes incomplete on its own, although i haven't tried adding sugar to it. is best with honey tea for a sweet, fruity taste; if you're looking for that tea taste, i recommend adding ceylon. i badly want an ostmanthus perfume but the chinese brands are all so pricey!

favorite albums: flora, pier and loft. favorite composition: horizon i've ever seen before. this song makes me feel like everything's going to be alright.

had my first london fog last month and it was truly everything i needed in a warm drink. where i drank it it had a salted cream foam... so so delish. a hug in a drink. this made me want to look for an earl grey perfume because of how aromatic it was.

known as suha in the philippines. i am eternally grateful to be living in a country where pomelo is easily accessible. i love the color of pomelo and it's genuinely like biting into juice. i'm eating pomelo as i type this... life is great

my cat miso is a golden black shaded british shorthair. she's huge—heavy but also has a large frame—but shrinks 90% when she's bathed. i love that people say we look alike. i've grown to love my bleached hair with unretouched roots because it reminds me of her fur. i love her weight on my chest, i love her little huffs and i love seeing her little body exhale, even if it's because i'm bothering her and she's letting out a deep sigh. i love that she tolerates me cuddling her for a bit and that she only stays on my chest when i give her a reason to (petting her). i love petting her soft belly. she is my favorite thing in the entire world. i don't know what i'd do without her.
