Looking back: Dec '25, Week 1
So many things happened this week, and I got to do so many different things! ✨ Gaming -- Played lots of BG3, some MonHunWilds, rushed a D4DJ event, checked on cats, and ended the week with Lost Judgment! Spent most of the week playing Baldur's Gate 3 because my partner was enjoying Star Ocean 2 whilst hoping that I would wait for him before starting on Lost Judgment. 🙃 But who's complaining? I learned that I can use Photo Mode in cut scenes. I want to try taking more pretty

I was down with sore throat/ sinusitis almost the whole week. 🥺 Likely caught it from my partner cause he was unwell last weekend. Maybe I should've practiced safe distancing instead of stuffing my face into his shirt for snuggles. 🤣🤣🤣 Oh well! He took about 3-4 days to recover, but it's day 6 for me and my nasopharynx is still burning. 🙃 Now that I think about it, would it have been worse if I liked kisses?!?!?!?!? 😱😱😱 Or maybe I would have just fallen ill faster, I

Looking back: Nov '25, Week 3
What a week! It feels so strange being reminded every Monday that just a week ago, I was in a totally different head space. 🤔 Let's talk about it! 💜 ✨ Projects -- Finally finished the karaoke medley I've been working on! And I have a full body rig now! 🥹 It's done and dusted! 🥹 This project was finalized only recently, but the plan had been sitting in my project list since the start of the year. 💀 There were so many iterations of it. Maybe I'll list them here, just in ca

Looking back: Nov '25, Week 2
I was determined to make good progress with my next music project, so I tried to stay focused on the goals of the week! ✨ Projects -- Recorded vocals, edited, timed, mixed, and... I'm happy that I managed to chip away at the tasks across the week, working late into several nights and even on the weekends. Feels good knowing that the music file is now sent off for mastering, and I can work on the next list of tasks! Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm happier about completing tasks

Looking back: Nov '25, Week 1
November means it is time to work really hard so that I can wind down by mid-December! 🤔 So I started the week with a plan! But several curve balls came my way and I didn't complete what I had set out to do. 🙃 Even so, the week turned out to be much better than expected! 🥹 ✨ Touching grass -- Went for an eye check up I'll cut to the chase: The doctor figured that the symptom I was feeling (a darkened area in my right eye's vision) should go away by itself after about 6 to

Looking back: Oct '25, Week 5
Oh no, I don't have many pictures to share! 🥺 But it's okay! I had a rather pleasant week regardless! 🎵 ✨ Gaming -- Played various games... and then there was RV There Yet? Sadly I don't have many screenshots this week, so I'll be brief! Went back to normal Don't Starve Together as Walter and still died a bunch. 🤔 I feel like I'm getting better but at the same time, it still feels like a struggle. The moment I'm stuck having to deal with a boss fight by myself, I'm left wi

When time didn't heal: TORINOKO CITY
Lately I've been wondering which of my covers is my favorite. Based on channel statistics, I guess most people like my cover of Datte the most. But my favorite is actually TORINOKO CITY. Published 11 Dec 2022. I first heard this song while playing Project Diva Mega Mix. Even though the game did not put much emphasis on the lyrics, I realized that something about the composition and choice of words sparked some emotional response in me. So I checked out the lyrics and was imme

Looking back: Oct '25, Week 4
This week felt really long as several things cropped up that threw me off my plans for the week. 🤔 But I think I still got to do many things this week, and for that I'm grateful. 🥺💖 ✨ Gaming -- It's been a tiring week of various strenuous games. 🥺 EXCEPT... The deep dungeon content is great, but I'm no grinder. 🙃 Haven't cleared Quantum-40 though. Man, I need to fix my Reshade so that I can have nice game screenshots. 🙃 But yes, I spent most of the week repeating the FF

Looking back: Oct '25, Week 3
Last night I was at an aunt's housewarming, and she asked where I was working at. It feels surreal that I've not been employed for almost 2 years now. But to my surprise, my dad shared that when he was in his 30s, he decided to stop employment because he realized that it was not what he wanted to do with his life. Maybe it runs in the family. Maybe it's because my mom (the queen 💜) is gracious enough to let us be ourselves. Maybe I'm just that privileged -- I joke about it,
