Asma's Diary Throw-up #14

Hi, everyone.

Just wanted to give you guys a quick update.

First of all, my birthday is this week!!! Gonna be turning 22.

*inserts TSwift gif here and sighs* 

sigh.

- I've been interviewing for possible jobs. Two have already turned me down. I have to two more to visit. Hopefully I can get a good one before school starts.

- Yes, I'm going to be starting college again. I'm only taking two classes two days a week, so I'm gonna take it slow and steady. I need to bring my GPA up, maybe I could get better jobs later on in the school year.

- I can drive now really well. I can go wherever I want without obstacles. However, I haven't memorized all important roads yet so I'm still a little yet lost. I need to buy a GPS.

- I don't know how well I'm going to manage being bored in science classes when awesome music and movies are coming out waiting for me to be consumed and digested on my blog. I might not write for a long time. I hope you all can bear with me and wait for me. By my estimation right now, I'll probably write sporadically and drop many at a time. I might not pick a time a week to post either. Just off the cuff. You know me.

- I'm going to also keep trying to practice a lot of things. Writing and making videos. I have to get back into reading. Does anyone have any good book recommendations? First, I have to tell you all what I like to read. Will post someday.

*Side: Does anyone have as many things to watch than me? By now, I haven't read a real book since before the new year. That's crazy, especially for someone who has been reading nonstop their entire life.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

I'll be back. *Terminator voice*

Suga: Our Sweet Gangsta - 'Agust D' 1st Mixtape Review

So, as pretty much the whole world knows, Suga (or Min Yoongi or Agust D) releases his long-awaited debut solo mixtape.

This could be the possible the best that ever happened in the month of August in my lifetime. An early birthday gift to me. Thank you, Yoongi.

Today I had a horrible day. I worked in a building where there is no air conditioner in hijab for minimum wage. Sweating, I drove, for the first time, to another city to my university. I got hooked at three times because I still haven't corrected my habit of looking both ways before I enter a busy road. I almost crashed into several cars. I had to brake really hard twice. The turn into the street by my house does something really scary to my car and I don't want to think about it anymore. I basically saw my life flash before my eyes more times than I need today, from either heatstroke or car accident.

I kinda made my sister a tiny BTS stan, so as soon as I came home she run at me with the news that Suga dropped his mixtape. My first thought was not "Awesome!" or "Even Suga, you lifewrecker", but "What can I punch?" I was so furious with my day that I was again mad that Suga's mixtape couldn't make me excited.

We watched "Agust D" in complete silence. More like I watched with hands clasped over my open mouth and my sister sat in fear that I would to start to become violent. First without subs, second with subs.

[Warning: From this point forward, I will curse/swear/cuss. Don't be surprised.]

To buy or not to buy?

I need to take control of how I spend my money. I've spent so much recently buying things all in the goal to make me feel happier. Many of the objects I realize now I don't need.

And now, I want to buy a wacom tablet and an acoustic guitar. I know. Stop myself, but I'm still going to anyway.

I am also in a battle with myself to buy B.A.P's new song "That's My Jam" and BLACKPINK's debut songs "WHISTLE" and "BOOMBAYAH".

AND Madtown will comeback with part 2 of their "Emotion" album. I can't!

Protect my savings. And I'm going to keep looking for a better job.

Thanks for reading.

Monsta X is creeping back into my life.

Ok, so let's get out of the gloominess and into some random fangirling. 

Monsta X was in KCON LA and I wasn't. The only good thing about that is after trying to forget and forgive them for their past comeback, they got me back with ONE Song - Move Like Jagger by Maroon 5. Now when I tell you I almost fainted, it's true. They could have chosen a Chris Brown Song or Jason Derulo to cover because I know they like that kind of music. But seriously, I'm just barely holding my head up right now.

stop at 1:19. Then BTS comes with Young Forever.

Really?! Not now!

Hyungwon doesn't even try to dance. He just moves slightly and magic happens. Kihyun with this up-do is too much. Too much. Minhyuk said the lyric with "shit" in the song and I was like "That's right. You don't give a shit". I'm not going to talk about Won-hoe. Shownu appa looked so proud of himself at the end and I agree. His agree perfectly matched the song. Jooheon and IM were hanging out in the back, ad-libbing. I wonder what kind of rap could they write for it???

Gasp, if they release a full version, I would be so dead.

Bye!

A little pep talk.

Dear all Somali young man who are literally dying to come to America, here's a little pep talk.


Listen, Cousin. I know you want to come into America but I can not marry you for that to happen. What Hooyo said is true. I have no time for this. I have to finish college, work, and live my own life. Living in America is a dream that becomes a nightmare. Don't take it lightly. Personally, I think you will have a better life back in Somaliland if you start a small electronic business. You will create jobs and make Somaliland a better place. Please don't think of me as selfish. Do better in your own life and stop waiting for a handout. Work harder and smarter. Leaving Somaliland doesn't solve anything, but give you and the people around you stress. Try to work within the system Somaliland has created for you. I am working really hard to get my dreams recognized but as a girl, it is not easy. You have all of the luxuries of a young Somali man. People will follow you anywhere. Please study hard and realize your potential. Stop trying to escape from your problems and run toward them! What are you afraid of? Being wrong? Getting hurt? People have gotten much worse. Stand up with your back straight and face your identity.  Don't forget this message. Don't run to another girl with marriage scheme. Girls want to marry a stable, caring man, not a man who wants to use them. Enough. Go do something worth being married for.
