i can see the sun

getting into a new fandom

posting in my lj for posterity. so that if i wanted to look back on this point of my life, i can just go 'wtf was i going on about' lol

but anyway, life as of late

  • my baby boy turned one year old!!! truly how time flies. he is as active as can be and often you will find him walking/running around and then i am about a meter behind him, chasing after him. i guess this is my life now.

  • i started watching jdramas again!

story time: during my pregnancy and maternity leave, i would find the time to squeeze in a drama or two while the baby is asleep. or when i'm up in the middle of the night pumping breastmilk. but after i returned to work, i guess the workload got to me and i couldn't even watch anything. not that anything was of major interest to me that time either. but now i'm more well-adjusted to my new life and new roles, and i can watch jdramas again!!

  • on a whim, i watched kieta hatsukoi on netflix. i remember glossing over it because it was one of the first jdramas added to netflix but it didn't pique my interest enough at the time so i let it go. but i just finished watching the 5th remake of kindaichi with michieda shunsuke so i wanted to give this one a chance too.

today was wild. i had my haircut hoping to finally have a chance to get rid of all my split ends and i come home to find out the left side of my hair is shorter than the right. so now to ease my frustration over the world i have taken the challenge to complete all baba arashi episodes in existence.


you make my heart

my favorite things

i feel like so much has happened this year. i cannot comprehend how it is october already, and in a few months it will be november. 2018 has been a whirlwind of good news, starting with my engagement (holy crap!!), to a job promotion and all other happy and positive bits in between. it's kind of funny how i never imagined my life going /this/ well, you know? if there were a way to go back in time to my 20-year-old self, who was struggling with her identity and with her academics and practically everything else, i would do it just for the sake of reassuring her that everything will turn out just fine. what a huge difference nine years can do! 

i am currently in a state of content, wherein i just feel calm and happy and honestly the only thing i can wish for right now is an arashi concert ticket. but even without it, i am happy. 

to anyone who's reading this, if you're in a state of doubt, sadness or confusion, please know that everything will be just fine for you soon.


so many things i wish

let me just

i saw avengers: infinity war last night. and and and the movie just gave me a lot of feelings so i will edit this post as i unload everything. it will be all over the place as the movie left me an emotional wreck i do not know how to cope.



obvs spoilers, which i will put under a cut. so don't click if you don't want to be spoiled.

i cannot even find the words to express my grief and sadness. i will probably edit this if i remember more things that made me feel extreme emotions.

hello lj

i've been sick since last saturday, which makes today the third day i am battling coughs, colds and a raging headache. it's been such a long time since i got sick i almost forgot how terrible it was to be stuck in bed, to feel blazing hot, how all my attempts to sleep will last me about 3-4 hours and how hard it is to get up to do anything. but no matter. i shall not dwell on the negatives. i have made it a point to balance any negative thoughts with a positive one. so for today:

(-) i am so fricking tired of coughing i am just ??? tired when will this end
(+) my hair looks super nice today
(-) although nobody is actually here to see it but
(+) i caught up with all my ongoing dramas! (99.9 season 2 and todome no kiss)

so....... pretty productive day i guess. yay for me.

PS thank you lord for allowing arata mackenyu to exist
