misc. drinks log, purchases and life updates

I can't believe I got sick right after I got better and everyone around me is either sick or getting sick right now lmao I'm just a girl... I'm taking my supplements + b12 + vit c boosters very diligently! the past couple of weeks have been quite uneventful because I've mostly just been sick ctfu but I did try some new drinks and made some purchases and did some thinking about stuff and things and stuff :')

please can I just have a normal week this week. I'm not asking for much let's start with just one normal week...

drinks diary
chagee 青青糯山 (light ice, 30% sugar)
described as a green milk tea with glutinous rice aroma from yunnan's glutinous rice leaves being stewed into the tea, this drink was definitely way more delicious than I thought it'd be :') my irls kept hyping up chagee to me but for some reason I never really bought into it until a pljj uploaded this exact order on her ig story and I just had to copy it... it was really good and so so 香! the flavor was very light (i wish the tea flavor was a bit stronger though, but maybe that would make it less 香?) but the drink was very filling to me, probably because of the milk and my lack toes in toddler ants. 8/10 overall, I'm looking forward to trying more of their drinks for sure!

nayuki gardenia green honeydew melon boba (70% sugar)
delicious... not filling at all... but a little boring? not a lot of texture going on, but I guess that nayuki is way inferior to heytea when it comes to drinks texture so I didn't expect too much of it going in. 8.5/10 very delicious and good!

starbucks dragon drink (light ice)
goated forever. to me. I was so sad when I couldn't have it over the summer lol there truly isn't anything like this drink. to me. it's quite tangy but still sweet and very refreshing despite it being a milk-based drink (I'm actually not too sure what type of milk they add to this drink, it doesn't taste like coconut milk?). 10/10 easily but I'm also oomf who rates with her heart and does not have a refined palate at all so ymmv <3

starbucks pink drink (light ice)
woah I did not expect this to be as good as it was lmao I remember not liking the pink drink this much in the past? but I guess the one in chn is different... the flavor is pretty mild and not too sweet but very pleasant and also not super filling! doesn't taste strongly of coconut milk either. 9.98/10 I think I'm also suffering from memory loss so who can say if this rating is accurate at all.

heytea 椰椰芒芒 (70% sugar)
the goat for ever and ever I truly want this every moment of every day. genuinely a 10/10 if the barista makes it right like not too much sago please and 70% sugar please please please. you can really tell if they forgot about the less sugar option, which instantly downgrades it to about a 7.8/10 in my book.

starbucks iced tahitian vanilla almond latte
a win for the lack toes in toddler ants girlies seriously. the tahitian vanilla is sooo 香 and sbux chn uses almond breeze!! soooo insanely delicious just the perfect level of sweet etc etc I'm inclined to rate this a 10/10 too ah fuck it.

nooo why are there so many things in the world that can be owned
genuinely what did I even buy these past couple of weeks... honestly not that much? I've mostly just been fighting for my life in my room lmfao let me think...

a number of miscellaneous jun-related purchases I guess? I bought both of his arenahomme+ mags as well as his nylon mag, the ocl kids, and I bought a grand total of... 13 albums through various jun fanbars so far for this comeback lmfao girl what the hell is wrong with you. but it's okay <3 I'll probably make a makeshift laptop/monitor stand out of the jun vers and give the random ones away to carat irls... maybe I can sell or trade the photocards for some more junpaper, although I don't really even feel interested in owning junpaper anymore. girl get it together @ self. oh I also ordered the jun-themed instant pot created by 小咪一下 ahhh I've been meaning to get a small instant pot for a while so this was really made for me... xinkujiejiele... ah I also bought little transparent doll bags to carry ocl around in if I ever need to but they've been at the package drop off point for days now and I'm so lazy...

what else...
- a sixpack of poy-sian sticks which had been a godsend while I was fighting for my life lmao. an irl gave me one back in the summer but I was foolish enough to leave it at home... I'm all set with backups now and have started distributing mine to friends too! I try to keep one in my bag with my lipbalm and eye drops wherever I go now in case I might need it <3 works well for motion sickness too!
- a usb-c to hdmi cable so I can watch eft from my tv through my ipad but I've been so lazy and just watching it on my ipad instead... I'm sure I'll put her to good use someday though.
- a 12-pack of americano cartons... sleepy girl juice <3 taste mid <3 look cute <3

there are so many things on my wishlist though like ummmm I kinda want supermini platform uggs and birkenstock bostons and I need to buy a backpack but I kinda also need to save my money for when the you know who does the you know what. anyways.

a life update of sorts, I guess
I've slowly but surely been slipping back into a more regular routine (yay!) I just need to start waking up at 7:30 every day which is soooo hard to me because I am sooo sleepy all the damn timeee. I think my body is still recuperating from being so sick back to back but I've also been going to the gym regularly again and I'm glad I'm physically healthy enough to enjoy some gymtonins pretty much every day <3 life has been the same old same old and I'm looking forward to recovering fully but I'm content for the most part and I love my friends so much and I'm finding and building a routine for myself well <3
