December 31, 2024 [Time Capsule, Day 201] claiming my new direction for new year's eve!!!
Hey there! :) If you're like me the past few years - maybe you just always have a quiet New Years Eve at home or what have you - here's a video from 4 years ago, to accompany you on this final night of the year :)
Whether you had a great year or a really shitty 2024, I hope that tonight, you can pause, take time to reflect, and be grateful to just be alive - like me in this video! :)) Haha.
To me, the me, Christmas/New Year 2020 was one of the worst seasons of my life, being peak depressed but also being saved by my life as a baby BTS ARMY!!! So much life-changing things happened this year as well in my personal life - at the time it was so stressful and anxiety inducing, but now in hindsight, it was just the beginning of my slow growth towards correcting some mistakes I made in the past :) (That's so vague and cryptic lol but sorry it's hard to share too much just yet!!! Maybe next time hahahehe). Despite all that shit though, I/WE GOT THROUGH and I am just so so grateful. I hope that if you're going through a shitty time this year too, that you may have faith that it can get better! Soooo with that... If you're watching, HI, ADVANCED HAPPY NEW YEAR, I'm glad you're here, and see you around next year ☺️ 🫶🏻

201231. (1:24am). Day 201 of #AliveWithArt
1st ever time capsule video I recorded - with the intention of it being a time capsule!
1) Last minute decision to put this up here. :) Moving into 2021 with a whole new heart.
2) As I type this today, on October 14, 2021, I am SO TEMPTED to watch this back and hear what I said HAHAHHA. But no. I want to treat this as something like a time-capsule video!!! I'll watch it back na lang.
3) 220101 Kept having interruptions when I was trying to record my reaction to this. SOOO I am taking it as a sign to just release this for end of 2022 😂
4) 241006 - It's my 1st time watching this as a whole, so here are my key points :P

December 05, 2024 [Time Capsule, Day 623] feeling disconnected from dance, re-centering myself, musings
220407. Day 623 of #AliveWithArt.
Keypoints of this video lol!!
- figuring out mental health coping mechanisms beyond dance
- the in between of creating and releasing my BTS Black Swan dance film
- feeling disconnected from dance
- reflecting on birthday blues
- WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIFE? doing what you like!!!
- chronic adrenaline is not good! bc it leads to high cortisol!
- scared of being so peaceful that you become comfortable
- Key Takeaway from Baguio: embrace that part of growth is resting!!! recovery is part of growth!!!
- things i did in Baguio: photography, songwriting, dancing
- feeling more centered in taking photos and writing songs
- felt CENTERED yay
- NEW ERA IS UPON US??? (it was so true)
- Here's to hoping that I'll be brave enough to share all the things that are still in my drafts that I have yet to clear!!! and yes here I am!!!
Here's the BTS Black Swan Song Cover and Dance Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q765sYmhMNc
// Raw Vlog 220407 // Sooo - another very random wrod vomit vlog again - this was after I had my 36-hour Baguio trip back in 2022 (48 hours if I count the bus rides going to and from the city haha) - just felt like looking back at the trip that transpired. And yes - it was a trip I went on just for the sake of escaping my daily life at the time lol
Had a lot of learnings and realizations from this trip!

November 28, 2024 [Time Capsule, Day 440] learning to not be so emotional over my art?? | ASHenanigans
210923. (2:01am) Day 440 of #AliveWithArt
This is kind of a follow up to my previous video, (I was sick) this was taken when I felt like I was slowly recovering! :)
Continuing on with this theme of learning to manage my emotions around my art - so that it doesn't consume me and shi- here are some key points from this random late night realizations:
- if you're pursuing your passion don't make it your entire identity (as I type this on 240927, I just saw a TikTok of Gracie Abrams saying the best advice she got is to have a life outside of your career)
- watching Street Woman Fighter and feeling a different way of appreciating dance/relating to dance
- dance is becoming more of a medium to tell stories, share my truth
- spending time on my tablet (a depression purchase) different art medium
- MIDI controller, music stuff
- growing up, a lot of the work is tied to the music i like
- dance started as a new way to appreciate music
- i made AoT inspired art
- will try to make more music-related stuff!!!
- it's fun to be genuinely excited about the things i make!!
- LONG GAME
- excitement by morning being fueled by music prod, songwriting, digital art
- here's to learning new art mediums!!!!

Apparently this was also the same day I released Moves In The Making for Ako Naman Muna! :) Check out those other videos here too:

Original video title: yay I've FINALLY let go emotionally too ;_; 210923
2021 Note: Just another late night raw reflection video thingamajig ahahah!!! Idk this whole feeling of emotional resignation has been such a HUUUGE thing recently, but I've been grateful so yeah

November 21, 2024 [Time Capsule, Day 419.5] stay hydrated lol - PROPER self care to avoid creative burnout !!!
210816 (1:52am) Day 419.5 of #AliveWithArt.
This day has a "0.5" because actually... This was during a period where I didn't track the little things I did in that day! I think if I'm not mistaken, since starting the whole #AliveWithArt thing - I never missed a day. Ever. Until this period - because I got sick and barely had any strength. My records (records??) show that Day 419 was 210806, then Day 420 was 210828 already. I think this was the time that I genuinely felt that something truly needed to change, if I wanted to move forward and not get stuck in a cycle. Here were my keypoints:
- came from another sickness - 1 whole week !!! (sidenote: i was so sick i binge watched series so quickly and just spent my days in Duolingo lessons every single freaking day!!)
- getting sick now made me realize i suck at taking care of myself??
- NTS self care so u dont burn out
- idk what to do w my life anw; i dont have work ;_;
- focused on recovering, trying to set a direction
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty OST makes me feel better - esp Stay Alive by Jose Gonzalez makes me feel anchored
- i only live for BTS content and merch
- i cant spend endlessly and not have work !! (pls be financially responsible)
- it's become a pattern of getting sick and having to care for myself
- was impatient but was also ok being sick
- aside from fixing bills, i had no idea what to do with my life
- trying not to be hard on myself especially given all i've been thru!!
- don't compare urself to other people's timelines bc it's unfair to yourself!!!
- 2nd time getting sick in 2021 (1st was the lockdown anniversary/before my birthday)
- does everything in life need a key takeaway??
- ... still, key takeaway: take care of myself more
This was from my previously unemployed era and honestly? Some points still resonate, but I'm happy that some points I know I've also grown in!! :) Like these days I'm a bit less impatient with myself when I'm sick hehe.

November 14, 2024 [Time Capsule, Day 137] embracing vulnerability, thoughts after recording my cover of Lose by NIKI! | Music In The Making
201030. #AliveWithArt Day 137. :) (Yay I love this number! Haha)

Hey podcast! So same as before, today's YouTube video is a dance video, and for copyright reasons I'll avoid putting it here. :)) Don't want to risk my podcast getting suspended or anything lol! So yes - here's a short video I recorded from back in 2020, after I submitted a song cover for NIKI's song "Lose" - even if I wasn't as confident with my singing yet huhu. It's craaazy how much I've grown my confidence since then! I'm still not the best but you an check my YouTube for my latest song covers :> Yay for growth!

Song Covers here! >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMrstXn4yJc&list=PLQ84UeAx5dVDhKtZR7SgHqavEjg0DIHDb
211103 Note: So last (last) year I happened to join 88rising's video, where they asked us to send in our covers of NIKI's song "Lose"! I was still just getting started with my music journey at this point (and was very scared hehe) but here's a raw video I took after I filmed that cover!
Watching this now felt really timely. It's so interesting watching myself say things like "I'm taking care of myself now" "I'm not pressuring myself anymore" because a few months after that, well... I went back to pressuring myself HAHA OOPS! In fact I feel like I'm JUST only recovering from another intense period of burnout. This isn't to diminish what 2020 Asha was going through though. She just had noooo idea what was in store.
Also yes if you happen to drop by and watch the whole thing... You now know one of the things I'm working on! It is still in the works as of today. Hehe.
Link to the cover I submitted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0siVNRTHUzU

November 07, 2024 [Time Capsule, Day 700] fears of never dancing again, noticing some trauma triggers, steps forward
220714. Day 700. Guess who just shed a teeny tiny little tear when she heard herself say these:
"I don't wanna wait until something actually happens to me before I go and explore other art forms." 🥺
- I felt something inside me when I heard the old me talking about just wanting to explore other art forms... Fast forward to the present, I've been enjoying singing more these days and even have a few song covers! I also got to rediscover acting - which was such a joy to do as well!
"As much as I love dance, I have to have other outlets of expression if I want to be consistent with what I do, not be fear-driven." 🥺
- Since taking quite a long-ish break from dance over the past months, I'm currently working on a lil dance film project (more info on that to come!) which, despite the material, I actually find myself quite excited about!
"I should get back to doing vlogs more often"
- LITERALLY what I thought to myself in the 1st 5 minutes of this video HAHA
Disclaimer
- I haven't been able to cook as much lately 😆 I lack practice again haha but I still can!!
- I don't remember what this was about about having hard conversations
Overall it was just nice to see then and now. Maybe I should make a reaction video to myself - and processing my thoughts... Or is that too meta? Idk LOL - either way, this was a great reminder to myself that though I can't feel it sometimes, I've definitely come a long way since then :)
