This was the longest Discord call I've ever been in, in a long time. From 12 a.m. in the early morning until 5 p.m. the same day. That's 17 hours. I honestly didn't expect that I would be in a call for that long. I thought I'd join my friends only for the late evening/early morning, but then it turned into the morning pretty fast, and things just kept on progressing from there. It started when I invited my friends for a call and we joined the server. I had a lot of sleep the past day, so I thought I could keep on going through the entire night. In the early morning, we didn't watch much aside from analog horror. My friends were kinda sleepy so they kept sleeping throughout the entire night. I think some of them slept for the 3-4 hours in the entire early morning call (12 a.m. - 8 a.m.). It was pretty uneventful so I just watched some Grown Ups (2010) in the background. I also kept talking to Meryll as well since I had free time and wanted to talk to someone. For the later parts of the early morning call, some of my friends eventually woke up at around 7 a.m. and that's where the next part of our call went on. We were able to watch a new video from Wowman before that ended, though. In the morning, things were mostly filled with music from artists. We started the morning by listening to some analog horror in the background. I recall also just playing whatever I could find like caving and true crime cases since I ran out of analog horror videos we could watch. I couldn't really leave my seat to make breakfast downstairs so I decided to just order food from McDonald's, and even then it was a late breakfast. Some of them had other things to do so I used that time to just rest for a bit, take a bath, eat some food, and so on. Before that, we were just watching live performances of K-Pop groups and I finally showed them that Run Devil Run live performance that I've been wanting to show them. Also, as I was just browsing Twitter, I saw a Tagalog tweet from Sandara Park and read out the replies. I said that Pantropiko by BINI was the top reply, and some of them mention that they've heard of it as well. So we decided to check out Pantropiko by BINI. Pantropiko was really nice, we mostly liked it even though the stream lagged quite a bit. After they were done with their stuff and after I had freshened up, we were immediately back to talking about music and other girl groups. In the break, I saw another BINI song titled Salamin, Salamin and I saw that it looked like an MV from Twice, and I just had to show it to them. We watched Salamin, Salamin on stream and they also liked it! We immediately started liking BINI and then we just streamed a few songs after that. We watched The Feels after Salamin, Salamin to compare the two music videos and it was similar. We also watched a Twice AI cover of it, and it was surprisingly good and convincing. Some of us liked it and honestly found it fun to listen to. After that, we just watched some K-Pop music videos. We watched Ditto by NewJeans twice, the Side A and Side B music videos with the story. Listening to Ditto along with the MV hit me like a truck because it brought back horrible memories from 2022 when I fought for a girl with my friends. We watched a few more music videos and live performances after that, especially from Girls' Generation. We saw that most of their past performances were live and we listened to Genie, Gee, and Cater 2 U by TTS. Cater 2 U stuck in my head and she also sang along with it when it was playing. After that, things were mostly quiet as they were engrossed in other things like work and some of them eventually muted and disconnected from the call. They messaged that they would be taking a rest now and that we'd call me again later for milk tea and maybe even games. But I wasn't really planning to. I almost slept immediately throughout the entire night, only waking up for a bit to message friends and do other stuff. By the end of my rest, I felt really groggy because my sleep schedule was out of whack. I still talked to some friends for a bit, I showed Tiffany my old blog post about her and I had a good laugh talking to her about my writings and how I was already a Swiftie even in high school. And that's where my day ended.
