I forgot that the Vesak Day public holiday fell on a Monday this week, so I ended up spending my Monday as if it was a Sunday, only realizing that I had forgotten about my weekly post before I went to bed. 🤣🤣🤣 Oh well! Had a pretty good week, and I'd like to write all about it! ✨ 🌙 Work as Minerva 🌙 Recorded, edited, and submitted my vocal lines for a collaboration, and practiced vocals for another. 🎉 Also worked on an arrangement, though I'm reminded that arranging mus

I'm in a rather good mood today! It feels like the kind of Monday that would set the tone for the week, and I'm hoping for a productive one. 💖 I started writing today's entry earlier than usual too, and am looking forward to making progress in general this week. 🥹 🌙 Work as Minerva 🌙 Spent the first half of the week editing vocals, but I'm somehow not done yet. 🤔 Maybe it's because this song has a lot of words? I'll be getting back to working on the harmonies later, thou

I'm happy to report that this week was a good one! 🎉 I've mostly recovered from the acid reflux/ indigestion without seeing a doctor, and felt well enough to do what I wanted to! 🥹 So there will be no more moping about health issues this week! 💖 🌙 Work as Minerva 🌙 I managed to record vocals despite having a spicy throat! 🤣 I couldn't really do 1 line the way I had intended to, but there is still time to practice more before redoing the lead vocals. 🥹 Most importantly,

Well, well, well. This week turned out to be completely different from how I envisioned it. 🙃 But I think I made the most of it, so I'm not sad at all! ✨ Fun fact: Today's post is late as I had some work to rush out in the morning, and I'm tuned in to Enki's rare afternoon (morning) stream as I write. 🎵 🏥🐰 IRL 🐰🏥 The good stuff before the bad stuff! Met my mother, who just returned from a trip to China, for lunch! We shared stories from our vacations, and exchanged souv

Honestly, I forgot to write this week's post. 🙃 My mind was too preoccupied with trying to make sure I had clear plans for my music projects for the rest of the year since I got up this morning. I'm mentally quite drained because I've been deep in thought for the past 5 hours or so... but this update ain't going to write itself! Plus I have pictures this time! 🎮 Gaming 🎮 Did quite a lot of gaming this week because... I might have caught something from Penang/ on the way ba

I'm back home in comfy attire, with a full heart and stomach! 💜 This past week was almost completely dedicated to the trip to Penang to visit Ari and Mogu with Yuraia, that it feels strangely long ago now that I'm trying to wrap up the week to look forward to other things. 🎮 Gaming 🎮 There. Done. Next section! (Actually, I didn't have much time to game this week because I had agreed to spend a few evenings to watch a friend's Danganronpa V3 stream.) 🧳 Packing and Preparin

Rollin' hoooome~ Rollin' hoooome~ Rollin' hoooome across the sea~ Rollin' hoooome to dear Tortuga... Rollin' hooooome, dear land, to thee~ ⛵🎵 I'm still riding off the high from singing along to Windrose sea shanties over the weekend. Had to resist the urge to sing them like church hymns, ending on tension notes instead of resolving the melodies. 🤣🤣🤣 🎮 Gaming 🎮 Goodbye -- this is my life now. 🤣 I have a few themes that I like. One of them happens to be sailing during th

I am writing this as I wait for a friend to come over to visit! Got to know them several years back through my partner, but life happened and we lost touch. Looking forward to catching up with them! 🥹 Edit: Oops! They arrived and I ended up only getting back to writing much later! 🤣 It was a nice catch up. 💜 Been struggling with bad sleep due to warm nights for the first half of the week, and nursing a really bad pain in my neck/ lower mandible for the past few days, but I

Tried to find my footing this week, since I've committed to making a change to how I approach my "content creation". Strangely enough, feeling under the weather in the later half of the week forced me to slow down, allowing me to reassure myself of my plans and to feel okay with only being accountable to myself. 🥹 All in all, I think it was a good week! (Despite the physically painful later half, I mean.) ✨ 🎞️ Projects 🎞️ Spent about 2 days working on a vocal tuning & tim

Ah, where do I even start? I realized on Sunday night that I had nothing much to share for the week. 🤔 But I'll try my best to dig up as much as I can in the spirit of wrapping up the first quarter of 2026. ✨ 🎞️ Projects 🎞️ Practicing for the next (solo) cover was quite the struggle bus, so much so that I decided to just pray for the best during my last practice session before recording day. 💀 But to my surprise the practice seemed to have paid off. 🥺 It turned out to be

It was my birthday yesterday! Happy birthday to me! I received lots of love and my heart is full. 💜 The week leading up to it was great too! 🎞️ Projects 🎞️ At the beginning of the week, I "renewed" my agreement with Ari regarding supporting her Vtubing activities! 🥺💜 I had initially agreed to a 3 month trial, almost like a probation period for both of us to consider if this is something we want to pursue for a longer period of time. Fortunately for me, Ari decided not to

First and foremost, I spent pretty much all my waking hours this week either actively working on the upcoming cover, or thinking about it. I think I only ever unplugged when playing FFXIV with my friends since it required my full attention. So I'm quite grateful to these gaming commitments this week. 🥹💜 Consequently, I didn't take a single screenshot or photo to share here... 🥺💔 I could write about other things, but I'm still quite mentally drained (and probably a little

The week went by in a flash. I was focused on just a few things this week, and although they're still a work in progress, I think it was a productive week overall! 🥹 ✨ Projects -- Started working on the video for this month's cover The next cover won't be on my channel, so I'm putting in more effort than usual into the video. 🤣 My self-imposed deadline is this weekend because I have something else I want to work on after that has a hard deadline. I think I'm less than 50% d

It's March already?! When I think about the things I've done since January, I suppose it's believable that we're already in my birthday month. 🤔 Anyway, I'm glad that February wrapped up nicely! ✨ Projects -- Published my cover of Lanternoid by suisoh! But nothing beats suisoh's vocals. 💜💜💜 I love this song so much. It's been on my project list for a long time, but kept getting delayed because of changes to the plan. But some time in November last year, I received an appe

Considering that I was planning to chill out and enjoy the festive season, it turned out to be a rather tiring week. 🤔 All good though! Did a lot of things, so much so that taking photos/ screenshots often slipped my mind. 🙃 The good kind of busy, I guess! 🥹 ✨ IRL -- Lunar New Year festivities! My OOTD on New Year's Day! Was quite happy with my eye makeup. 💖 Met up with my parents on the eve of the Lunar New Year (Monday) for "reunion" dinner. 💜 As far as I know, the tra

Are you winning, son?! I have no idea. You tell me. 🤔 ✨ Gaming -- Cleared FFXIV Patch 7.4 Savage Raid tier, finished Disco Elysium, and played the Super Money Ball Festival in Sonic Racing! 🎉 Firstly, I have to admit: I didn't believe that my static would clear M12S during our 2nd session of the week. But by the magic of friendship (I mean, call-outs, DPS carries, and potions), we cleared the moment we scraped through the last major mechanic. Was too focused on taking the

The weekend went by way too fast -- I was unwell on Saturday and slept through most of the day, and was out and about the whole of Sunday. 🥺 I don't have much to share for the week because I spent pretty much the whole week doing spring cleaning (I'm not done yet! 🙃). Tried to snap a picture for the main things I did though! ✨ IRL -- Spring cleaning part 1! One might think that a new house wouldn't have any spring cleaning to do, but they'll be sorely mistaken! I didn't hav

Oh boy. Let's start with the highlight of the week? ✨ New Cover -- Uploaded by cover of Sing My Pleasure from Vivy - Fluorite Eye's Song-, the anime! I even managed to complete it by the end of January, as I had hoped! 🥹 But where's the cover? Why were there no updates on my channel and socials? 🤔 If Sony Music Entertainment Japan is kind, the video will be visible. It was bound to happen eventually: My video was completely blocked by a copyright claim. 🙃 Initially I had u

I went into last week determined to bring my morale back up, and it turned out to be a pretty productive week! There were highs and lows, but I feel back to normal and motivated to do some good work! 🥹 ✨ New Cover -- Ari published our short cover of The Last Frontier by AZKi and Hoshimachi Suisei! I would have never done a song like this if not for Ari's request. 💜🥹 I've written about my friendship with Ari before , so I will refrain from being a broken record. She asked i

I'm back to normal I think! This past week felt really long because I was focused on only doing what I wanted to. Was still really tired for the first half of the week, but I tried to keep looking forward. It wasn't a productive week, but I wouldn't have gotten through the week if not for... ✨ Gaming -- Started aiming for achievements in Sonic Racing, started Disco Elysium, and spent the rest of my evenings on FFXIV Savage Raids The banter between the 2 characters I use sound
