《闪光少女》?不错的电影哦!

嘿,三等半夜的看什么100分钟的中国电影……我就是那个笨蛋。《闪光少女》,看到名字都不会想看吧。听起来像什么青春爱情片,多多肉麻的那种。开始自己也有点怀疑内容会不会很狗血,不过……

其实是在twitter看到乐斗片段,觉得超酷的所以上网找到了电影,就看到凌晨2点。老实说开头介绍都很干脆,比中国大陆的连戏剧好很多很多。

大家都被名字给误导了,这可是关于民乐的电影啊!

IT'S SEMESTER BREAK

Finals are over and I don't have remedial so praise!!!! It's been a rough 3 days with all my papers coming one after the other, but the last day is really the last day of the whole of finals week so everybody is free!

At first I was like 'yay! time to play video games!' then I remembered about all the spring cleaning I have to do which include rearranging furniture, cleaning bookshelves, updating the harem blog, completing some overdue art pieces, and then only do I get to play video games or read books or hang out with my friends. I had to go visit grandma in a small town so some time is wasted there...

I had to clear out the bookshelves and decide which books to abandon, then I emptied one of the lower shelves to put my jeans drawer, and then I have to put some indicators on which books I've yet to finish... it took me 4 days to clean the bookshelves plus my wardrobe and work table! I had to arrange the books by category, relocate my sketchbooks, I brought in the TV from the living room onto my second work table to use as a monitor and consoles are now below said table so I could game in my room (which is awesome but not so great because... overheating). Then one of my HDMI cables broke...

Video games! I managed to finish the main story of Ni no Kuni and get the casino trophies thanks to forums, familiarity at one point away, and I defeated the Guardian of Worlds, so now my only tasks are to tame another 45 species, get every field map treasure chest and complete 120 items. Alchemy is the one I'm really worried about because nobody likes farming for materials. After this I can play replay FF13 and work on the platinum. Or, I could actually play TLOU because it's way overdue and the game is 6 years old!

A few days ago I participated in a Kingdom Hearts friendship zine with a piece from last April. It's a great zine with artwork, cosplays and writing, and yall should check it out!

The Steven Universe finale special just aired a few hours ago... OH BOI!!!!!! This episode is just fanservice from start to finish! The new fusions, the gems' new outfits, the appearance of the temple fusion aka OBSIDIAN, the dread when WD pulls the gem out of Steven... and he lives! HE LIVES! The amped up animation was so fluid when Steven embraces himself - literally and figuratively - and the moral of the story is: NO ONE IS PERFECT AND YOU ARE WORTH LOVING NO MATTER WHAT. Steven has grown so much. He's not a boy, he's not a gem. He's Steven, and that's all he needs to be.

Following SU's finale-not-finale, it's time for FANART! So apart from my current projects which include another 10 knights, daily sketches and more fanart! Now that I have a new workstation setup, it's time to try it out and see if it holds up. I mean the bigger screen is a huuuuge plus, but now I don't have any space to rest my wrists and arms my shoulders and neck will be tense and in pain once I stop

I did some reading during the last week, the first being The Nanny Diaries, which is good, but too annoying. I couldn't stand Mrs. X's character so I had to stop halfway. I didn't finish it. The Great Gatsby was... not impressive. I have no idea why people thought it was a great piece of literature. It has a certain 'feel' to it, that I have to admit. Is it because of this feel that everyone thinks it's great? It gives me the impression that the story is one of irony. The Hobbit is the best one I've read in two days. Something about Tolkien's works makes you wanna relive everything. No wonder people have LoTR film marathons every year! Reading this prequel is making me want to read the whole of LoTR again and I'm not prepared to do so.

And then there's CNY... Everybody's busy during the week and I will have plenty of time to play video games and draw and read but which of these do I wanna do... which...

New year, new shit

2019 is here, yaaaaaaaaaay....

The problem with having the console set up is that I keep going back to play video games. I have a practical exam on the 4th and written exams from 10th to 12th what the hell am I doing? Worse still I got into watching Hardcore series by PBGGamplay so that's no good.

The upside to this is that I finally got around to finishing Ni no Kuni for the PS3 since the first time I started in 2014. I found a balance between school work and video games so that's great?? I'm planning to replay FF13 with a complete guide in order to platinum this 10 year old game... lord knows Final Fantasy games are hard as balls to complete. You can bet once I beat FF10 for the PS2 I'm doing it again with the HD version but I'm not going to platinum the thing because I'm NOT avoiding 200 consecutive lightning strikes for a fucking sword! I've accepted the fact that I'll never platinum AC games with multiplayer/co-op trophies so I'm fine with not getting any platinums. I'm fine. I can't even complete Journey for the PS3 because no one is playing it in last-gen consoles since it's available in the PS4 so I guess I'll just have to live with 90% trophy completion or wait for hours hoping to get someone in the server! GET MULTIPLAYER TROPHIES WHILE THE GAME'S HOT KIDS YOU DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.

I wasn't planning on attending CFKL2018 because I hate the crowd and the queue, but so many artists are selling fanbooks and I couldn't resist so I went in the afternoon of the second day. I was taking a huge gamble of con-goers not buying any books based on price and lifestyle... my predictions were right! I have never been so thankful for my countrymen not appreciating books (usually I wished more people loved books). My aunt talked me into making my very first cosplay, I screwed up my expedition (I was ill-prepared due to my last minute decision to attend a con that would normally require a week to plan), I've decided to start archery in February hopefully, and thanks to Smash Ultimate I now love Kirby. He's so cute. I bought something I normally wouldn't (a pouch) because Kirby was in it.

Some new books are out since September but I couldn't bring myself to buy them because I haven't started on the previous volumes so for this new year I hope I can find time to read more. I also read a little of the cursed 'eighth story' of HP and immediately regretted my decision 5 minutes into the book ugh. But I still have to finish it because someone got it for me as a present so...

In February the new semester requires me to receive patients (it's called primary care clinic for a reason) and I just hope I still remember most of the procedures. I will never ever forgive myself if the fucking lazy ass rich kid of the class pass the subject again without doing anything while I work my shit off. You know the management is desperate for money when they don't expel a student who technically wouldn't be able to pass so that said student can pay the subject fees for next semester just cause they're rich. I went OFF at him one time so now I don't have to put up a friendly face anymore because fuck this guy.

Other than that I'm pretty nervous about future semesters which require more patients and internships and hospital postings, but I guess it's nothing to be too worried about. Take things as they come...

Also tumblr screwed my blog over, I turned on the explicit tag hoping to not get flagged but now they disabled the toggle so now I can't turn it off and hours of customizing my blog to make it pretty and nice has gone to waste, rip my tumblr blog, fuck you tumblr staff.
