A Summer of Green

If I had to pick one good thing about working from home,

it’s being able to do overdue chores in between tasks.

I finally organized my bookshelf, which I had been putting off.

I boldly decluttered books I no longer read,

and this time, I arranged them by genre and cover color.

Discovering forgotten books,

and finding short letters with heartfelt messages from those who gifted them, feels so warm and fuzzy..!

An invitation to a newlywed couple’s housewarming party,,

The couple who put so much time and effort into cooking for us…

This sight was so unfamiliar and funny that I kept

giggling and taking pictures next to them lol.

They grilled the steak so deliciously!

The dessert was super cute too hehe.

This summer,

my green summer knit, which I wore like a uniform,,💚

A relaxed Friday office selfie

Tarot reading with my sister for fun.

It was my sister’s first tarot reading ever,

and the fortune teller’s mechanical responses and reactions were memorable.

Uh-huh-mmm~~~ (very high-pitched) lolol

And as always, my love life fortune… a big fat zero 😂

On a Monday when Mom was off,

#Songnidan-gil outing

Came to #EobokSunsan after a long time. Love fresh seafood!

And then #GingerBear, which is incredibly hot these days.

Maybe because it was a Monday afternoon, there wasn’t a terrifying wait.

They said their meat pies were famous,

and they weren’t fake, they were genuinely delicious..!

Even Mom, with her picky palate, approved.

Colorful wine that matched the shop’s aesthetic,,

The coffee taste was also a pass - !

The kale juice was also rich and delicious!

In the evening, champagne and butter-grilled shrimp with Mom,,

Getting tipsy @.@

A birthday meal on a certain day,,

Lady Gaga collaboration Dom Pérignon champagne..!!

🥂 It was so good

#DomPerignonLadyGaga

And my first #TiffanyAndCo

Seongyun gave me a surprise bouquet for my birthday.

I love gifts like this..💖

I put it by my bedside hehe.

You gotta have Samgyetang in the summer..!

I finished the whole bowl.

#VillaRecord, where the interior was so pretty.

Another wedding invitation gathering at #Dotgogi

It’s so close to the office, and a place we often come for lunch,

so it felt like going to work on a Sunday,,,, lol

I think it was truffle cream fried rice? It was delicious!

The charm of working from home,,

is being able to whip up homemade snacks in a flash..!

#Canapés with ingredients rolling around in the fridge.

I found a pretty good Italian restaurant in the neighborhood.

Vongole, gnocchi, lasagna - a carb bomb..🌝

And just like that, summer is passing by again.

Maybe because I’m documenting it, this summer feels so full,

and I feel green and happy💚
