OMG!! How are we feeling about The Sin : Vanish?! It dropped while I was still at work and I kid you not, my coworkers (they all know that I'm a huge Engene) were practically counting down to the release with me LOL. 
          	
          	I've been seeing some divided reviews on the album on Twitter... but I personally love it! I think this album is definitely R&B and hip-hop heavy, which actually coincides really nicely with the non-kpop artists I listen to. So it's definitely safe to say this album was exactly my cup of tea LOL. I also can't get over the new vocal colors we're hearing with Heeseung's different registers?! (Can we also talk about how freaky this album is? Like I wanna know what the producers told Heeseung & Jake when they recorded their 2nd verse for Big Girls Don't Cry)
          	
          	I'm not sure if I have a favorite track yet. If I had to narrow it down, I'd say it's between Stealer and Big Girls Don't Cry right now, but my opinion still changes on a daily basis. 
          	
          	Also, this might be a hot take... but dare I say: No Way Back should've been the title track. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Knife. It is exactly what this comeback needed, and honestly, I think of it as Outside's sister. And if you know me, you know I streamed the sh*t outta Outside. BUT, with that said, I think No Way Back just suits their lore a little better in terms of the mood. Lol, don't hate me too much if you disagree. I still really love Knife and enjoy every single moment of watching all their Knife promotional activities. 
          	
          	This album release is exactly what I needed to motivate myself through my busy season at work, but also to push myself to continue drafting my upcoming OT7 x reader fic. It's coming along slowly and steadily, but it's happening! My goal is to share it this summer, so I'll definitely lock in on the weekends to work toward making it happen!
          	
          	I've missed you all so much and hope you've all been staying safe, happy, and healthy! I love you ❤️❤️

@chanel_nini OMG hiiii!! Of course I still remember you ❤️❤️❤️ It's definitely been a while since we last spoke. I think we were still chatting on Discord last time haha. I hope you've been doing well! I've been well myself. Just gearing up for another busy season at work, and I'm working on a new Enhypen fic!

Hiii!! Long time no see. I haven’t been to wattpad for the longest time… 10th grade is more hectic that I imagined  I just finished my exam but I have my records to complete and another exam this Saturday…. Btw how r you?? Jobs goin good??

strawberheecake

@saikripa123 Hi! Omg yes, it's been so long since we last caught up! I defitnitely hear you. I remember just how hectic our academic life gets year after year. I hope all your exams went well!!
            
            My job has been going well! I'm starting to take on more responsibilities which is always a good sign. RIght now, I'm entering another busy season where, between the months of January-April, I'll be working 55+ hour weeks. It's draining, but in the industry I work in, we work hard for the first 4 months of the year, and then we get to relax the rest of the year, so I say it's worth it.

Belated Merry Christmas, wifey. Hope you got yourself something nice for the holiday. Miss you! ❤️

Chatayer

@strawberheecake Thank you, boo. I know, but that's adulting. It absolutely is! <3
            
            I see that common sense. Good for you. The US of A is horribly expensive lately lol. Thankfully I don't live there, but things cost more than they used to where I live as well. I don't really do gifting, but I overcompensate by exploring new cafes (a lot of my budget goes to that, unfortunately lmao).

@Chatayer Omg, belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too, boo! I miss you so much ❤️ I know we don't chat often with our busy schedules, but it's always so fun we do get to catch up. 
            
            I spent some money on some Glossier products this new year so I'm excited to use them! I'm a huge fan of their You scent, so I'm always restocking when they have the good holiday sales haha. How about you? Any nice or fun gifts you received/bought yourself?

Hey, girlie. What's up?

Chatayer

@strawberheecake Goodness, me too, although I'm not supposed to--it's never that healthy (says who, really?). Does the move to the  new clients mean more cash in your account?
            
            Ah, now that's the tired adult talking--you know you've turned into one when the most interesting thing about a beachfront resort(!) for you is the open bar. Please tell me you got up to some drunken shenanigans. 
            
            Hmm, I understand why you might associate being in a relationship with being sort of tied down. Why don't you try praying to the most powerful Taiwanese god there is (I unfortunately didn't look up their name before replying lol--my bad)? We must do exactly that, because the only way out is through. You'll pass it eventually. 
            
            Do these extra responsibilities come with extra money, or is the big bad white man taking advantage of us again lmao?

@Chatayer HAHA no need to worry about being nosy. I LOVE work gossip. At the team level, there were some major changes for me personally because both my senior and manager either transitioned to a different role or left the firm, so one of the other managers moved me to their clients. That itself has been a big change. But at the firm-level, we merged with another top accounting firm so the integration has been hectic but fun. 
            
            We had our firm party at a beachfront resort! Very similar to last year. I think my favorite part was the open bar, LOL. As for the trip, we just flew to Arizona for our annual training. They put us in a nice resort so that was nice! We also stayed up drinking till like 2 am every night so that was crazy, but very memorable. 
            
            Ugh, tell me about it! Many of my friends are in relationships right now, and maybe I've just gotten to used to being single, but I don't want to give up my independence just yet. So I am also very happily not mingling HAHA. Also, I feel you on getting through this next year. I hope you do get through everything. And no matter what life throws at us, I'm confident we'll tackle it head-on and get past it! For myself, I think my biggest goal is just passing my damn CPA exam but I don't know the likelihood because I'm starting to take on more responsibilities at work, which means less time to study. Other than that, my biggest dream is also to make more money lol.

@strawberheecake No worries lol. I'm getting rather busy irl myself. I hope they haven't been particularly bad for you. What were they though (look at me being a nosy little shit)? 
            
            Perfect. How was the party? Where are they taking you? 
            
            Single pringle but happily not willing to mingle. I just want to get to the next year without suffering a mental breakdown uwu. My dream, though, is more money. Hopefully, some rich person takes pity on me and proposes marriage. What are yours?

Hello, Dalgis!! This is long overdue but—OMG. I had the night of my life at the Enhypen concert three weeks ago (crazy to think it's already been that long!). To be honest, the main reason why I haven't really talked about it yet (on here, anyway) is because PCD has been hitting me so hard this time around. 
          
          I got my very first floor seat experience, and the entire night was truly magical. My seat was right by the extended stage, so it was so surreal seeing all the members up close—especially when Jake invited us over to the barricade. LA was the only stop with seated floor, so I didn't think I'd get any closer, but he invited us up for the encore set and I will never forget that night. (I also don't know how I'll hold up at TXT's concert next week with it also being at BMO Stadium. I might cry a little just being reminded of Enhypen, but that's a story for another time.)
          
          I posted some of my favorite pics and videos on my Instagram page if any of y'all wanted to see! My IG username is the same as my Wattapd (@/strawberheecake). It's also linked in my bio  ^.^
          
          Moving forward, I definitely got some good motivation to continue writing the OT7 x reader fic I've been drafting up. It's a slow progress as I'm still working full-time and back on the study grind for my big career-specific license. So, if I'm being honest, it's taking me quite a while to even get through chapter 1. But I'm slowly chipping away at it, and hopefully, I can share the first part of it with you all soon ❤️

@jung_04_won Ah yes! It was the best concert I've ever been to and I can't wait to see them again in the future ❤️I'm hoping all Engenes will get to experience Enhypen's concert at least once in their life—it's truly unforgettable!
            
            Hehe I can't wait to share it with you! I just finished drafting Chapter 2 today and am working on brainstorming Chapter 3. I think this fic will be on the shorter side—definitely not as long as my Fate Bound series. But, hopefully, that means I can publish it sooner. I actually started developing another idea for another OT7 fic yesterday so I'm eager to get started on that one too, hehe.

strawberheecake

Surprise, Dalgis! I'm officially back with a new fic. It's the Sungwon fic that I've been promising for a while now! 
          
          It ended up being a lot longer than I had anticipated, so I published it as its own short story. You can find it in the 'EN-' reading list on my profile. It's titled "you belong to the flowers (but my heart belongs to you". 
          
          It's my first historical fic, so hopefully I did the time period some justice. Can't wait for y'all to read it! Lmk what you think. 
          
          I love you all so much! ❤️

            Right, and that's exactly the way to go. Never pay for your alcohol if someone else is offering to do it for you. Don't drink it altogether if you can lmao. 
            
            Nah, we're both smarter than that lol. Money is more important. Do what you hate now to have a chance of doing what you love later and all that.

Dalgis!! How are we feeling now that D:U is out?! I've been streaming the album non-stop and I swear, I'm finding a new favorite line for each song every day. I'd say my top two favorite tracks on the album so far are Too Close and Outside. But I just know Helium is gonna hit so hard when they sing it live this summer!! 
          
          On another note, and not to spoil too much... but the entire concept of D:U and especially the MV for Bad Desire matches a little too perfectly for my next OT7 x reader fic. Sometimes, when I'm really delusional enough, I think the team that creates Enhypen's lore is on the same brain wavelength as me LOL. 
          
          It might still be a little while before I'm ready to publish even the first chapter of this new fic, but I'm already so excited for it! As a little teaser, here's the Spotify playlist I created and have been curating for about 2 years now: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3HfWfwEqTnST6BSz7OB0nM?si=8f8a0d99771f462a
          
          Give it a listen and lmk what you think! I'm curious to see what y'all think the new story will be about. Hint: we're gonna step away from their normal vampire lore ;)  
          
          For the most part, I think the songs I have in the playlist are my final choices. As you'll see, some songs I added as early as December 2023. I wasn't kidding when I said I've had this idea in the works for a while now. But it's finally at a point where I'm 99% satisfied with this playlist and you'll be able to get a good vibe of the colors of this next fic. 
          
          I'm also working on creating a Pinterest board, so I'll share that with you guys as a little teaser soon too!

strawberheecake

@clicheap Aweeee tysm!! I'm so excited to share it with you hehe. Omg yes!! Bad Desire is so good! I know it'll hit so hard when I hear it live next weekend. And stop I cannot get over how cute Too Close is (┬┬﹏┬┬)

@jung_04_won OMG YES!! So sorry for how long it's taken me to respond--BUT YES! I absolutely love D:U. All the songs are still on heavy repeat in my current rotation, but especially Outside!! 
            
            I'm really hoping they play it as encore for LA but we'll see...
