The week went by in a flash! 🤔 🌙 Work 🌙 Spent most of the week editing vocals for a solo cover (It's done and sent for mixing! ✨) and looking forward to the scheduled release of my cover of Ga (Moth) with Nagi! 🖤💜 I have so much to say about this collaboration. 🥹 I'm not sure where to start... Nagi lives in Japan, and I can count with my hands the number of times we've met in person (I think it's just over 5 now? 6? 7?). When we first met (through Yuraia), our creative

Aaaaaand it's a new week! 💖 🎮 Gaming 🎮 I don't have many screenshots to share this week, but much gaming was done, I think! A significant amount of time went into watching my partner play (and finish) Castlevania: Belmont's Curse though. 🤔 We're still here? We're still here. Indulged in Baldur's Gate 3 a little at the start of the week. (I'm not sure if "indulge" can be moderated by "a little". 🤔🤣) Got to see new cut-scenes and conversations once again. I love this game

🌙 I just hope that those with strong opinions will never see this. 🌙 There are some things I've always felt like I didn't have the right to say. I was always someone's daughter, someone's girl-friend, someone's girlfriend, "one of the girls", a gamer girl, part of a girl group, and the list goes on. I'm glad to have been born as a female and get to experience life as one. But as I reflect on how I want to live my life, whilst praying that the luxury of choice doesn't run ou

Good evening! I was focused on cleaning up the aftermath of a mishap over the weekend today, so I decided to write my blog tomorrow. But since I managed to finish what I had to do and have some energy left, I'm writing before heading to bed! 🌙 🌙 Work 🌙 Managed to make good progress with videos this week! I'm satisfied! ⭐️ 🎮 Gaming 🎮 Valhalla! We reached the end of Valheim! Actually, there's content we haven't encountered yet. But beating the final boss and reaching the e

I must have slept in a weird position last night. 🙃 Was hoping that if I walked around and did some chores before sitting down to write that it would help ease the tension in my neck and shoulder, but it's still there. Oh well! 💀 🌙 Work 🌙 Finished editing vocals for another song! A part of me wanted to rush straight into editing vocals for another song. But due to the way the timelines are now, that won't help to move other projects forward. So I decided to start working

I might never figure out how to name these weeks that cross over months. 🤣 I still had dizzy spells here and there, but the good news is that it happens less often now! Seeing moving sources of light with high contrast seems to set it off, so I'll try to take it easy on my eyes for another week. 🌙 Work 🌙 Spent most of my week catching up on chores, and just a little on my next project. Trying my best to stay motivated despite the ambiguous timelines. If I just do what I ca

I took some time earlier today to organize my files and work on a render for fun, so I'm writing this later than usual! 🌙 🎮 Gaming 🎮 Haus My partner and I spent quite a bit of time earlier in the week making a cool house in a friend's Valheim server. ✨ Well, to be exact, I stormed in and asked for the opportunity to redesign his house. 🤣 We were waiting for some friends to catch up in my partner's server anyway, so it was a refreshing change to make a house for fun and no

Whoa! I don't have any screenshots or photos to share this week! 😱😱😱 Oh well! My week was alright -- things were worked on, games were played, friends were met, time was spent with my partner. ✨ Been feeling dizzy the past day though (still feeling it). I'm not sure why it gets worse when I'm looking at my computer screen. 🤔 It doesn't matter if I'm gaming or looking at a still image -- I start to feel it after looking at the bright light. 🤔 I wonder why... Anyway! I don

It's a new week! ✨ I'm feeling a little tired today, but I'd like to wrap up last week and get on with my day. 🥹 I had initially planned to finish recording, editing, and mixing a karaoke medley within a week, but I didn't. 🤔 We'll see if I manage to do that this week. Instead, most of my week was spent gaming, continuing my streak of avoiding thinking about my ongoing projects to give collaborators more time to work on their parts. 🎮 It's game time! 🎮 I reinstalled The S

It was a good week! 💖 Got to do quite a lot of things, and I'm still feeling motivated! 🌙 Working 🌙 Work was good! Finished animating an MV, and finished recording the final song I want to publish in 2026! Recording was fun, and I honestly can't wait to put out this one. I pray that I'll be happy (not just satisfied) with it. That said, I have 3 projects with unedited vocals now. I'm not sure if outsourcing comping is a good use of time. But I'm in no rush for those projec

It was a good week! Somehow it feels like it flew by, maybe because I did different things every day. 🤔 🎮 Gaming 🎮 I finally finished Divinity: Original Sin! 🎉🎉🎉 89 hours, and it's finally The End! For some reason, I did not get 2 story achievements on Steam despite having made those story choices. 🤔 But that's alright because I'm well aware that I had missed a lot of optional quests anyway, so I was far from a completionist run. Due to accidentally progressing the sto

✨ Greetings, cruel world! ✨ I feel like I've spent too much time thinking, talking, and hearing about AI use this week. I'm tired from trying to cut out AI slop, manipulative ads, and empty content from my daily life -- like empty calories, you reach for it cause it looks enticing to the ancient reptilian brain, but are left feeling unsatisfied even if you watch, read, or listen till the end. Change is uncomfortable, especially when it's to pull away from the norm, but I'd li

The week was alright! Considering that I had marked most of my week as a holiday because my partner was home, I managed to work on various things! ✨ 🌙 Working 🌙 Before getting into the highlight of the week, let me briefly run through the various things I worked on (most of which are will W.I.P.): Practiced the lyrics of the next solo cover. It's a mouthful, so I haven't moved on to practicing expression yet... But I believe that it will be worth the effort! 🎵 Edited colla

;u; I'm still physically exhausted from the week, so I'm typing this very slowly. Sometimes I'm glad that I generally feel mentally disconnected from my physical sensations so that I can keep going on days like this. I want to take it easy today, but there's much to do. So maybe I'll do what I can then rest for the rest of the day! 🥹 🌙 Work as Minerva 🌙 I woke up on Monday morning ready to work on something for Ari in preparation of her 2nd Anniversary stream after writing

Whoa! I ended up writing this week's post in reverse order, so this first paragraph is actually a concluding statement. 🤔 Also, I've been so focused on managing recent events and plans that I haven't planned my week, so I'd like to get to that as soon as I'm done reviewing the past week! 🌙 Work as Minerva 🌙 Finished editing my vocals for the next cover, and made the lyric video, thumbnail and closed captions! ✨ Now all that's left is to put the mix in, decide if I want to

Hi! My week was alright. :) I had quite a number of things planned, and I did get to them all, but I've yet to complete some of the main ones. That's alright though! I'll get back to work after reflecting on the past week. 💜 🎮 Gaming 🎮 I was on the verge of rage quitting Granblue Fantasy: Relink all week, but with my partner's encouragement and friend's help, I managed to get through all the combat content available in the Endless Ragnarok DLC. 🎉 I figured that it was bet

It was a rocky week, but still a good one! Went in with determination, and came out still feeling driven! ✨ Things got done, and health didn't throw curve balls! 🐰 IRL 🐰 First, an update on my skin treatment: There was no improvement to the patches on my hands, so I reached out to the dermatologist for advice. They suggested that a different treatment plan in consideration of the fungal skin scrape test coming back negative and seeing photos of how the condition had worsene

This week was a fulfilling roller coaster. 🤔 Started the week feeling highly motivated, felt beaten down after mid-week, and ended the week feeling content. 🙏 🌙 Minerva 🌙 I was determined to test out my karaoke medley idea, so I spent a day preparing lyrics and practicing, and spent another 2 days recording vocals for a total of about 10 hours. ✨ When I was done I excitedly uploaded the test track to YouTube to check for potential copyright strikes, of which there were no

I'm starting on this post a little later than usual because I chose to spend time earlier in the day to tie up loose ends regarding an upcoming project. There are so many unknowns, but I hope that if I listen carefully to and believe in myself that there will be a happy ending. 🥺 🐰 IRL 🐰 Did a lot of house cleaning this week because I had neglected most chores for 2 weeks as I was rushing out vocal edits. Could have done more, but I know that it was good enough. There is a

For some strange reason, I feel energetic/ mentally refreshed today, but the joints in my limbs feel sore. 🤔 I guess I did use my wrists a lot the past 2 weeks editing vocals and playing Forza and Risk of Rain... 🤔 Anyway, going to keep it short and sweet today! 🌙 Work as Minerva 🌙 Finished what I had set out to do, and with Yuraia's help we managed to have reference tracks ready for our friend to practice with before we meet for recording day! 🎉 I didn't realize how muc
