Floored by the fact that not feeling like shit really does boil down to just eating well and drinking lots of water and keeping screen time to a minimum and making lists and not obsessing over any one thing and reading books and like not putting things off and letting them fester forever. Self help books will never tell you this but sometimes it just is that simple
December manga haul. I'm super excited for the mxtx books, I want to start with svsss first but I'm currently reading demon slayer so might finish that first. I got the d.gray-man noche for Christmas and I love it, Hoshino's art is absolutely amazing. I stumbled on to madk at my local barnes and nobles, they only had the second book. Madk has ruined me I feel lol, it's a great read but it's definitely fucked with my head

Sakura Sunday 2025
It was so nice this year. We finally got pink trees after like 3 years. the past couple of years the trees have bloomed 2 months before the fest,so all the tress would be green instead lol. I love regular trees, but something bout that pink on trees, it's like they're dressing up for us, so pretty. I was so happy to be surrounded by pink trees that I started walking while looking upward at the trees lmao. my siblings kept walking away from me.
The weather was not so great, it rained most of the day. the sun never came out sob ๐ซ. We also didn't see any cosplayers, but i assume its because we left early.
We got to see the Taiko drums performance which is always great. I got almost sentimental thinking about how I have been going to the festival since I was in high school. Back then it was so niche and not as packed. I miss that lol. I use to volunteer with my classmates and goof around making origami ๐๐๐ฎand calligraphy๐. Then we would walk around window shopping because we were broke teens lol. The Taiko performance would have like 10 drummers and last an hour long, and we could meet and talk to the performers after the show. lmao I am going down memory lane.
But this year was really fun. We started a little tradition where we sit under a tree and eat lunch.We realized how unprepared we were this year. Our blanket was to small and the ground was cool from the morning rain. But we made it work and the food was really good. We sat under a pink tree and petals kept falling on to us and our food๐ก, I think we ate some lmao. One fell on my nose at one point. It was dreamy.โจ๐Next year we have to bring a bigger blanket lol and maybe bubbles, that would be fun. ๐ช๐ฎ
I also spent way to much money lmao, I was so sad, I gave myself a budget of 200 and I spent most of it on merch and TGCF, always TGCF ๐ซ. The artist alley was small this time but I managed to get some small artist goods. I love buying from artist lol. I was so excited to get home and decorate my desk with the goods lol. I got that Buu plushie, to me it's a rare find lmao, Buu is my absolute fave from DBZ, him and Shin. and Vegeta lol. and Piccolo. and Bulma. and everyone else lol.
The gloomy โโ weather really zapped our energy. On are way out of the fest it rained on us lol, just light drizzle. We were zombies by the time we got home.
~sigh I really rambled in this one.

Usually I get super moody when my birth month comes. And I get into a really dark place where I want to be alone and donโt want to talk to anyone. I cannot explain why. But this year I was surprisingly stable.
My sister got this really cool Bratz doll that also too expensive for a doll lol and a card with hedgehogs on it(so on brand for her).My mom got me a hair dryer that is air powered or something lol, I was so surprised she doesn't usually buy gifts for my b-day so I was shocked, like this is really for me I thought she was gonna say sike lmao.ย My mom also got me the same bday card she got me last year and the year before. should I be concern lol.
Today just felt like any old regular day for me honestly. I just stayed home and read my books. lol ๐I didn't even bother to think about how I am another year older, I'm just grateful that I have another chance to try again.
April has been kicking my butt. I thought march was a bad month ugh.ย
It started when I got my Nezha artbook in the mail. And it was only 1 book. I was so confused because I had ordered the bundle from my understanding. So I had to message the seller. They asked a bunch of questions yada yada.
The next day they ask for the weight of item. But I donโt have a scale so I went out and bought one.
I had been looking for an excuse to go out and have a fun relaxing time with myself toย just window shop and buy books. It was anything but relaxing lmao. There was just so many people outside. And my feet started hurting really bad for some reason sob. And then along the way I began to have a headache that didnโt go away until bedtime lol.ย
I spent way more money than anticipated. I guess this is what happens when you donโt go outside in moderation, you see everything and buy it lol.ย
I got so many clothes ugh, but they were necessary clothes, I really needed pants, and there were good sales going on. I bought a doll lmao, I had to keep asking myself if I wanted the doll, I legit only got her because she had yakult lmao. When I got home I realize that sheโs actually way cooler when you stare at her. She is a dragon hybrid I guess, Iโm not familiar with monster high lore. But she had scales on her legs,hands,face and ears, which I think is cool, plus I love dragons. Her clothes and designs are really cool too.ย
I got a macchiato from Paris baguette and it was terrible I couldnโt finish it. I think it's why I got a headache.
I went to Barnes and nobles so I could stare at manga, which I did. There was a lonely 9s there, he was 84 dollars ugh, not in this economy. The manga section began to fill up like always. There was this little kid who picked up a book and started reading on the floor, which I thought was cute lmao. I wish I had such freedom. He was so tiny thought you would almost step on him if you didnโt see him. I bought 2ha book 7, I was gonna get 8 but it was looking anorexic so I didnโt buy it shrugs. I thought that it would be better to buy online, but I forgot about shipping. The page count of 2ha has been really crazy, we use to get bricks and now its a slice of bread lmao, itโs getting thinner and thinner.ย
I went to uniqlo to try and snag the dbz daima shirt. They only had one in an extra small oof. I got this light pink jacket instead, it was on sale for 20 dollars, I didnโt even think I just grabbed and buy lmao.
After that I had told myself it was enough, but then I walked pass buffalo exchange and decide to just look around. Bad idea lmao. It was packed like always. The selection seemed really dry this time around. I had a headache so my brain wasnโt agreeing with me, it was hard to focus and my brain kept telling me to go home.
I did find this beige/brownish babydoll dress with puff sleeves, I thought it kind of elegant so I tried it on. I am not a huge fan of beige and tan on myself I think it kind of makes me look naked lmao. But something bout this piece, I felt that I needed to buy it.
I went to Chinatown afterward to get salmon. Then I went home.
It was a long day.ย
When I got home I weigh my package and told the seller. I think I realized the next day that the weight is on the package slip, so I didnโt need the scale, great.ย
