"Where are we, Sen?"

The plants by my windowsill, named Mari and Twoey. Hopefully the recent warm weather is nicer for them.

Lunch at a Viet café with my friend Ellaine! It was our first time meeting in person, but we talked for hours while playing UNO. She's so fun, it feels like we could really talk about any topic forever!

Can't wait for next time. (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

Valentine's Day - 2

There's a cute café near the arcade that's licensed to sell both Uji and Yamabuki matcha, so I took Sen there. We got a crème-brûlée flavoured mille-crepe cake and an oreo parfait to share, while Sen got his matcha and I enjoyed a warm hot chocolate.

It felt like forever since we last met up, so I couldn't be more thankful that we're seeing each other tomorrow, too. He really likes that tendon place near my house, so maybe I can treat him? Or should we could go get curry, as it's really satiating, and can also come with tempura..? I'm not sure...

Valentine's Day - 1

Sen and I went out today. He's really good at arcade games for some reason, so we went to play Taiko and some air hockey! His score in Taiko was insane... I guess that's why 王(king) is a radical in his name. Meanwhile, I'm named after some silly artsy things...

They think I'm busy and enigmatic and unavailable but I just can't control myself and keep eating foods that give me digestive issues

Lately, I've been distracted with all sorts of things-- I want to write, animate, code, game-- everything but schoolwork appeals to me.

Though I try to push for productivity, what really call to me are the self-led projects.

Every time I lose motivation, I find myself saying, "it's okay, I can always become a journalist." "I still have my music to keep me afloat!" "maybe I can drop out and make an indie game." "If I just get enough money to invest in Nvidia..." Feckless attempts at leaving hard work for comfort-- I know I'll never survive thinking like that.

I just need to hold out for a few more years, and maybe, I'll be comfortable enough to pursue passion...

School air is unbearable... Let me out of here! I want to sip drinks with heart-shaped ice!! I want to take a warm nap in the softest pajamas! I want to pet a cat!!!

No matter how much comfort food I treat myself to these days, I always wake up the next day feeling the same.

Maybe it's the world telling me to just lock in and work without caring...

(´д｀、)

I've been feeling incredibly homesick for the past three weeks. Maybe it's the ten-hour school days, the unfamiliarity of turning 18, or the gloom of a snowless winter-- there's no telling.

Food doesn't taste good anymore, every room is too silent or too loud, and even waking up feeling rested seems like a distant memory.

I miss the french toast from the bakery I grew up in. I miss my mom's food. I miss my dog. I miss my boyfriend.

Why does it all feel so distant even though it's just an hour away?

A slice of strawberry mille-crepe cake Nao got me a while ago.

It was so good, I miss it... (-人-。)

"Wait, wait, so you're telling me..." *Joe leans into the mic* "that magical girls are real?"

"Well, Joe, I was using a metaphor, like, emphasizing the difference between the online and real-world selves, but honestly, from the happiness brought from logging in and posting, magical girls may as well be real—"

*puts his hands up in surprise* "Oh my god. So they are real. I thought it was all just some anime nonsense. Jamie, Google this right now. Google magical girl sightings nearby. Maybe we can get an interview. And you were saying earlier, some of these girls explode?"

"That's where the whole subculture comes from, Joe. Like a landmine, if you get too close to one, they'll explode, but that's more of an emotional—"

"CHRIST. Is that even legal? How can they DO that? I want to know, like, the science behind it." *leans in closer* "Do you know what makes the explosions? Jamie, google some explosion gifs right now. Yeah, pull that up. I wonder how strong those are. Like, something like that could probably kill a silverback gorilla."

Couldn't find the energy to eat a proper breakfast the past few days, so I decided to take a break and treat myself with a croffle and peach soda from one of my favourite cafes.

Maybe, if I treat myself nicely, I'll regain the energy to work soon. I really hope so, at least-- I have a lot of term-end work to get done.

I really need a hug.

I'm so tired, but it's almost over... But I'm so, so tired.

Just had the worst exam of my life... I didn't have my calculator, and nobody had an extra...

I'll let myself cry about it another time. I need to keep studying!

Maybe there's something in the air, maybe I'm sick, stressed, or just plain old lazy— but I can't seem to get myself to work these days. I sat by my desk all afternoon and evening today, but could barely get any work done at all.

My first final is tomorrow... are things really going to be okay..? I'd like to say I need a break, but what would the break be from? It's not like I've made enough progress on anything yet.

I wish it were spring or summer again, when I could go wherever I wanted with my friends. I miss taking the train.

So many plans made for after finals, but no idea how to get through said finals.

Can't I just skip to the part where I go to karaoke, skating, and cafe hopping? December 13th seems so far away...

My new friend group makes me so happy. We're all so cute together-- Four girls from different regions all over East Asia, somehow meeting in one class in Vancouver. Hanging out with them feels like I'm living in a webcomic. It'll be fun to spend more time with them, once we're through everything...

I'm sorry dear professor but finishing this paper goes against my existence as a person and because of this I will not be doing it

Had to rush to annotate my music today. I was hired as a last-minute substitute for an orchestra near me, which means I only have a few weeks to practice it... Hopefully things go well!

The performance is right in the middle of my midterms, too. I suppose it's time to pray...

Studying with my friend Julia ♡

Nothing beats a tiramisu to keep tiredness at bay

Your blog and photography are beautiful! I really love looking through and seeing how you spend your days.

-💤💖

This was really encouraging! I'll keep posting pretty pictures, okay? Thank you, I love you!!

Winter Celebration Art #2

It's been getting colder where I live lately-- despite the painful wind chill, I'm excited to jump into banks of snow on the sides of the road.

Dinner after an exhausting day

My instagram where I go on dates with nobody

I miss it already

I worked so hard to make myself lunch, but now I worry there won't be any left for me...
