Photolog 2020: Day 184 of 366

The last item from the G.O. that I made last September arrived today: the Your Time photobook set by Jimin fansite, LOOK AT MIN!. This is her 3rd photobook that was originally made for Jimin's birthday last year. I honestly forgot about it because it's been so long, but damn, it was worth the wait.

This set came with, of course, the stunning photobook, as well as a set of five postcards, a picket, a set of stickers, a mini slogan, a set of 8 photocards, and a set of two buttons, all featuring some of the most stunning photos that LOOK AT MIN! took over the course of 2018 to early 2019. This is my third Jimin photobook, but honestly, I am always in awe of the quality and design of these sets. Everything down to the last detail, even in all the "bonus" items that come with the photobooks, are gorgeous and well-made. As I said, totally worth the wait.

Opened the third and final item from my latest G.O. that arrived a few days ago: the 2020 Color Greeting of Jimin Set.

So... I totally forgot that I had ordered this. Yes, it's a yearly planner/calendar set, much like BTS' official Season's Greetings sets, except this one features Jimin photos and designs by one of my fave Jimin fansites, Prussian Blue. But due to crazy long processing times (I ordered this last September), it arrived six months into the year... which means half of the standing calendar, desk calendar, calendar photocards, and planner are somewhat useless... BUT THEY FEATURE PRETTY PICTURES OF THE PRETTIEST JIMIN, SO THIS SET IS STILL TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Opened the second item from the G.O. that finally arrived yesterday:

A second exhibition photobook that was created for Jungkook's birthday, this time by Jungkook fansite, The Knock. I guess I was feeling serious FOMO last year for Jungkook's birthday and tried to make up for it by buying photobooks. We're actually closer to Kookie's 24th birthday than we are to his 23rd now, but with the way this pandemic is going, I may just have to celebrate Kookie's birthday this year by buying more photobooks instead of going out.

Holy shit. I made a G.O. (group order) last September and I finally got some of the items delivered — eight months later. I almost forgot about it, to be honest. (And I'm still waiting on one item to arrive. Apparently, it hasn't even arrived in Canada yet. I suppose the amount of shipping delays since March isn't helping.) Weirdly enough, I'm not mad about it. I mean, G.O.s are known to have a long processing time. What's great about this, though, is that the package arrives as a nice surprise! Like a gift to yourself that you totally forgot about. Thus, I'm gonna open each item one by one. Because I need nice surprises to last as long as possible.

So today, I opened up this photobook that was created by Made in 1997, one of the most popular Jungkook fansites and one of my personal favourites. Some of her images (like the ones above) have become some of the most iconic from last year (and many of them ended up becoming my phone wallpaper). She created this photobook for an exhibition she held in Seoul last year for Jungkook's 23rd birthday. This was my way of participating in it since I couldn't just fly over to Seoul to attend all the Jungkook birthday events. It was also a way to celebrate Kookie's birthday since we were too late to get to Kookie's birthday cafe event last year and missed out on all the goods — coincidentally, it was also partnered with Made in 1997.

Day #13 in quarantine: In between episodes of Crash Landing on You, I re-designed my BTS magnetic board and pin board. (Yes, my magnetic board is currently very Jimin-centric... until the GO for my Jungkook photobook sets arrives. Which will be someday. It's already been six months and now there's a pandemic, so what's another six months?) Anyway, I officially return to work tomorrow. Yes, work. Because I work for a major bank in a non-branch sector, my department is considered an "essential service," and thus is still open. So, wish me luck.

Wowowowowowww. I opened up my other set from the GO I received yesterday from Haley — the "Nevermind" 1st Photobook by piecesofmind — and it is fucking stunning. It's surpassed all expectations I ever had for it.

Okay, this set not only came with the most stunning A4 300-page photobook with some of my favourite Jimin photos of all time from 2013 to 2019 (piecesofmind is my favourite fansite and a lot of her photos have become truly iconic over the years in the fandom), but also included a B6 point book called "Serendipity" that features photos taken during Jimin's performance of "Serendipity" on their tours in 2018 and 2019, four A4 posters, three A3 posters, 14 postcards, a whopping 31 photocards, and a "Serendipity" bubble acrylic key ring. Quite frankly, the quality of all these items could honestly rival BigHit's official BTS merch. I am so glad I decided to get this photobook set, even if it did take six months to arrive.
