So Long, 2024 Here we are, folks—another year bites the dust. I had big dreams for 2024. I was this close  to finishing my BTS ARMY book project. Weeks away, I told myself. Weeks! And then…puppy happened. Not just any  puppy. Oh no, this was a high-energy fluff tornado that devoured anything within jaw’s reach and operated on a 50-zillion potty break schedule. (Yes, I counted.) To top it off, this little fur ball was terrified of everything. The car? A hard no. A box? Terrifying. The vacuum cleaner? Don’t even. There were tears. Real, salty, "my book will never get done" tears. But I’m not a quitter—I’m a muddler. And muddle through, I did. The book is (almost) finished! It’s been sent out to agents, and, well, let’s just say 85% of them have politely shown it the door. I’m still waiting to hear from the other 15%, but let’s be real—I’m already prepping for a self-launch. Cue the Rocky  theme song. BTS25x1B: My Weekly Dose of Drama Amid the chaos, I kept up with my BTS25x1B project—my version of American Top 40, but with BTS songs on Spotify. Each week, I update the playlists, tracking which tracks are soaring and which are lagging. It’s like my own little musical soap opera. The solos seem to be chart darlings, but I’m rooting for the underdogs. Sure, my playlists don’t have a massive following (yet), but it’s not about the numbers. It’s about the joy of revisiting BTS’s music and celebrating their incredible milestones. The Book Guilt (and Hope) I won’t lie—I feel a bit guilty about not releasing my BTS book yet. I’ve been hyping it for years, and it’s so close. Like, "just one more proofread and a celebratory snack" close. I promise, ARMY, it won’t be long now. Countdown to 2025 Speaking of waiting, 2025 is finally here. The year BTS returns. Just a few more months, and ARMY can collectively exhale. Sure, the members have kept us fed with content during their service, but it’s not the same. Until they’re back, I’ll keep consoling myself by looking at the moon and thinking, "Jimin sees this too." (Yes, I know it’s dramatic. No, I’m not stopping.) Enter Puppy #2—and the Eye-Roll Heard Around the World As if one puppy wasn’t enough, my family decided to end the year by bringing home Puppy #2—a sassy little girl who seems ready to take on the world (and her older fur sibling). The moment she walked through the door, our old terrier mix let his feelings be known. He may be slow-moving, but his side-eye game is sharp . I’m pretty sure I saw him roll his eyes in a way that said, “Seriously? Another one?” Honestly, I feel his pain. The Dog Days Ahead So now, as we head into the new year, I’m bracing myself for life with two puppies and one deeply unimpressed old dog. If 2024 taught me anything, it’s that I can survive chaos—with a playlist, a dream, and lots of perseverance. Here’s to 2025: the year of finished books, reunited BTS, and (fingers crossed) fewer chewed-up slippers. A Fresh Look for 2025 Oh, and one last thing—I started the new year with a little refresh of my logo. It’s a subtle change, but it feels like the perfect way to kick off 2025 with a renewed sense of focus and creativity. Sometimes, even the smallest updates can spark the biggest inspiration.

Hello Petals! I'm back with an update, and I know, I know, it's been a string of updates lately. But as I've mentioned before, finishing Bangtan Borahae remains my top priority. Just when the words seem to flow effortlessly, though, I get hit with another minor crisis. There have definitely been moments where I've wanted to throw in the towel (or chuck it as far as I can!). It is a labor of love, though. I'm currently working on sending out proposals to publishers. Your ongoing support means the world to me as I pursue my dreams. You, my lovely blog readers, might have noticed a name change. While I felt a connection to "Poky Penman," it never quite sat right. With the whole website evolving into a platform for my BTS love, something BTS-related felt more fitting. So, here's Mochi Moondust! It combines my bias (favorite member) Jimin's nickname "Mochi" with "moondust" because, well, if he's the moon, I'm the stardust that surrounds him. Plus, "moondust" sounds like a sprinkle of something, which is exactly what this little micro-blog is. If you follow the BTS 25x25 project, you've probably seen a name change there too. The project started as BTS 25X25, envisioning a huge celebration in 2025 when BTS has 25 songs with a billion Spotify plays each. It was a simple plan, but it didn't get the traction we er... well, I needed. Still determined, I decided to keep the playlist going beyond 2025 and even added weekly charts—the BTS 25x1B Weekly Chart. (Confession: I've always been a sucker for music countdowns, and yes, I am a low-key data nerd.) To help ARMY propel BTS to the Spotify Billions Club, I created this music chart alongside the BTS 25x1B Blood, Sweat, & Streams playlist. Because I adore curating BTS music, I've expanded the playlists beyond the main one. So, if you're in the mood for a specific member or style, there's a playlist with the top songs closest to reaching a billion plays. But this playlist is more than just a collection of songs; it's a celebration shared with all you dedicated ARMYs who love BTS as much as I do. Their music is like breathing to us, an inseparable part of our lives. To learn more, head over to the About BTS 25x1B page. A huge thank you to those of you who are still here, waiting for the occasional blog post. I know things haven't exactly unfolded according to the original plan. But hey, what's the fun in sticking to the freeway when you can explore the roads less traveled, right? Oh, and don't forget to join the conversation on social media! Use hashtags like #BTS25X1B, #BloodSweatAndStreams, and #BTStoBillions to connect with fellow fans and spread the word about our mission. I usually post weekly updates on TikTok as well, so if you feel inclined, come say hi!

Project Goal: Celebrate BTS's return with 25 songs hitting a billion plays on Spotify. Deadline: Achieve the milestone by June 13, 2025. Driving Force: Powered by the unwavering dedication of the BTS ARMY. Central Hub: BTS 25x25: Blood, Sweat, and Streams playlist on Spotify. Community Engagement: Encourages ARMY participation in a global celebration of BTS's music. Message to BTS: A powerful acknowledgment of the impact of their music on the ARMY community. Hey everyone! I hope this message finds you well in the vast galaxy that is the BTS ARMY. As I prepare for winter hibernation (yes, until my book is finished), I need to reach out and share something truly special with all of you. I've spoken about it on social media, but this project is much bigger than just me; it's about all of us coming together to bring joy to our beloved BTS. So, take a moment, read on, and let's explore the BTS 25X25 project. 25 Billion Dreams, One Stream at a Time Imagine the joy of hitting an incredible milestone by June 13, 2025 – celebrating 25 BTS songs, each with over a billion plays on Spotify. It's not about fancy strategies or tricks, just straight-up streaming fueled by the unwavering dedication and love of the BTS ARMY. The essence of the BTS 25X25 project lies in seamlessly blending the specially curated playlist into the everyday lives of ARMY members. Whether it's your backdrop for chores, your companion on a nature hike, the family gathering soundtrack, or the groove for a friendly party, the aim is to achieve those remarkable streaming numbers naturally. Inside the Playlist: Blood, Sweat, & Streams The BTS 25x25: Blood, Sweat, & Streams playlist includes the top 20 - 25 songs on Spotify with the most plays. As these songs enter the coveted BTS Billions Club, they'll be replaced with new songs moving up in plays. This ensures that the songs closest to a billion will be streamed more. To break the monotony, there are smaller playlists to mix it up while maintaining the necessary streams. Additionally, there are playlists for each individual member, making it more convenient. I anticipate having focus streams to celebrate birthdays and other events. Feel free to customize these lists. The project's purpose is to organize and make it more convenient for ARMY to stream to a billion. Join the Movement: BTS ARMY Unite! As we eagerly await BTS's return, their music remains an inseparable part of our lives, like breathing. We're extending a global invitation to the ARMY, urging everyone to join the movement and be an integral part of this musical journey. Let's collectively send a powerful message to BTS – that their music is a profound source of strength, unity, and love for the entire ARMY community. Together, let's make history, one stream at a time. Stream, share, and spread the love! #BTS25x25 In this vast ARMY galaxy, I, a mere speck of stardust, am counting on each one of you to amplify the message. This project is a collective effort to bring joy to BTS, and your invaluable support is crucial. Join the cause and spread the word among the ARMY. "I do believe your galaxy I want to hear your melody... So Show me…."
