 I realized I haven't written a blog for sooo long. A lot has happened since. 

Reading

I finished reading Four Treasures of the Sky, The Sweet Spot, and Strange Pictures. The first two books I mentioned, I bought them online on NBS Sale, and Strange Pictures, I downloaded epub online. I reallyyy liked those books. Four Treasures of the Sky is so well written, I like the prose and how the story goes, I would say the writer is really brilliant in conveying emotions and incorporating the art of calligraphy and Chinese history and experiences as immigrant. I cried at the ending, it's so sad! That's why I liked The Sweet Spot so much! It's like drinking milk after eating a super spicy food. It's super funny and a very easy read. Strange Pictures is ridiculously good as well. Or I just have low standards on mystery novels LOL. I like that it's a graphic novel; I like the build up and the revelations. I just can't read it at night, it's creepy and eerie. It took me a while to finish that book more than Earthlings (which is a lot weirder), this book is a total page turner but my heart can't just take it. I read it continually because I want to know what happens next, but on the last chapter, on one hand, my mind tells me to pause, but on the other hand, my mind is curious on what happened. And I would just like to say, I feel bad for Yuki, she didn't deserve it. So that's what I've read for the past few months. I haven't updated my blog because I was so busy at work! On Strange Pictures, blogging was mentioned, and I wonder if someone I don't know come across to my blog. hehe, hello stranger!

Eating

There's a pop up store in SM Bacoor where they offer free taste of their chocolate cake. I bought it for 120 pesos. No regrets, it tastes so goooood!

Playing

- Neko Atsume - hopefully I can unlock all the rare cats. I am so close!

- Usagi Shima - my favorite cozy game! Hopefully I can unlock all the bunnies too

- Cats are cute - i like the part where the cats mate and have kittens. so far i've unlocked 5 out of 10 kittens, and I've named them myself! Mingming, Siopao, Siomai, Biko, Pichi pichi, and Turon. I'm saving for another thing so I am not mating the other cats yet because it costs a lot! (not real currency I don't spend real money on games)

Obsessing

KPOP Demon Hunters!!! it was so good what the hell! first I have watched English dub (original) on the day it has been released. It's my "go to office day" so when I've arrived home, I watched it and wow! Everything is so good! The vocals? transcending! The animation, character design and storyline? WOW. I've watched Tagalog dub the next day and I cried when Jinu died. I grieve a lot more than Rumi. My On Repeat playlist on Spotify if full of its OST.

but right now I have no current hyperfixations, that's why i'm so bored! and i remember to write on this blog. i just finished reading good books and watching REALLY GOOD kdramas - Our Unwritten Soul and Resident Playbook. I tried to watch Tastefully Yours, but I cannot continue any further. My disappointment is immeasurable! The chemistry of the charts and the premise is good. I really liked up to episode 4! I really really liked the concept and how they showcase the food. But! I don't really like how the ex boyfriend got a lot of screentime, that ruined it for me. My sister told me an enlightening statement, "the good thing is, you don't have to force yourself from finishing kdramas. watching up to episode 4 is good enough." That's why i will not finish it anymore, guilt-free. Thankfully, Park Bo Young saved my month from despair! She never disappoints! I reallyyyyyyy liked Our Unwritten Soul, it's so well-written. And I really liked the ending, I like the way they heal each other, because all of them has been through a lot. Even that restaurant owner grandma with that doomed yuri background plot. Yeah, safe to say I cried a lot. But it was cathartic. And I felt so much better, and worse - because now I have nothing to watch.

Earlier I've watched Apollo 10 1/2 and it was good. But other than that, I have NOTHING to watch, except one episode of Apothecary Diaries per week.

Recommending 

I recommend sleeping early and getting 8+ hours of sleep everyday. The weather is good for napping and sleeping. Save yourselves and rest well.

Treating

I can't think of anything.

That's all.

Regards,

Pauline

First blog entry!

This 2025, I figured that I should have a new hobby, and that is: blogging. I don't know how, but I'll try. I also don't know how frequent I will "blog" but I'll try to write at least once a week, if not everyday. I'll just use this as a digital journal; back then, I use Notion but it is not sustainable for me, I also have a tumbler account back then but I don't know if I already deleted my account since it pissed me off that time and I don't know how I handled it. I also use Obsidian but not that much, mostly I use it for my work since it looks cool. For my weekly R.E.P.O.R.T Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing, Recommending, Treating Reading - Madonna in a Fur Coat I only started reading this book because of this tweet , and of course, I'm enjoying it. I like the way the sentences flow, it's so detailed and articulate and intricate. It's like I'm eating a delicacy, a very delicious cuisine in a five-star restaurant, I want to savo...

Nothing much happens

Nothing much happened today. I went to office, and on break time, after eating my lunch, I went to Fully Booked. I frequently go there whenever I go to work since it's a short walk from our office, but I have nothing to buy, so I just browse for books and complain at the prices. But I'm tempted to buy because the book covers are so pretty! Thankfully, I can stop myself because there are a lot of books sitting in my bookshelf, unread and collecting dust. I should finish reading those first. Also, I'm broke. After lunch, my coworker bought us Magnum, but since I went to Fully Booked and didn't come back straight away, they are worried that my ice cream has melted already, and jokingly that it has now became soup. But they are considerate and they put it in the freezer for me. Thankfully, it hasn't melted, and I enjoyed eating it. It's one of the things I'm grateful for, the ice cream, and my generous coworker. On my vacant time, I read Madonna and a Fur Coat (...

Fave movies

-
I like watching movies except slasher/horror/thriller films. I would only watch thriller or suspense if I'm with other people and they chose to watch the movie. I don't like bloods and ghosts. I would never suggest it whenever we are choosing what to watch, but it depends on the situation. Last year, we decided to watch MMFF on January 1. Back then, we haven't discovered yet that we can buy online tickets, so we stand in line for a long time because there's so many people! The film that we want to watch, which is  Firefly,  already started while we were on a long long queue, so I suggested that we should watch  Mallari instead. I never expected it to be ghosts/supernatural and I thought it would just be thriller and murders, so I didn't enjoy it that much. I don't like jumpscares. I can tolerate watching slasher films more -- I was able to finish  Pearl (2022)  last year when it was put on Netflix. What I wasn't able to do is to watch it in one go, of cours...
