This post has been sitting in my draft folder for too long. Actually, I initially posted this as a caption on my Instagram post, but, well, you know, it’s kinda limited how long I could post a caption on Instagram, so I guess I want to elaborate more here. Well, it’s been a while since …
Some Anime Series depicting School Life, Youth, and Friendship (and a little Romance)
This time I would love to share some anime series that I watched and love and my thoughts on them. I would specifically post about anime that depicts school life, youth, and friendship, and sometimes a little bit of romance for this post. I said “a bit” because I think romance is just a spice, …
More Japanese Movies to Watch
First of all, I really don’t know what title I should give this post. I feel like I’ve posted too many about Japanese movies (and dramas). (Check here for previous reviews!) But please bear with me, I just don’t know what to write and I really have to focus on my dissertation now, so yeah, …
Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 2021: Still in the US amidst the Pandemic
I remember I wrote about Ramadan last year, so I guess I want to write one this year too 🙂 This year I spent Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr still in the US and still amidst the pandemic. And there were things a bit different from last year. Covid is still there, but maybe things have …
More Japanese Dramas to Watch
Well, actually I planned to include these in the previous post of Japanese drama recommendation, but somehow it got too long, so I thought I’d just post them separately here 🙂 Ok, without further ado, here they are ^^ 1.

My First Online Concert: Hey! Say! JUMP
Soooooo, this might not be my first time seeing my favorite people, Hey! Say! JUMP, performing online. Like, I’ve watched them several times performing in some TV musical events, or Johnny’s New Year’s countdown, or Johnny’s Happy Live with You when Covid first hit last year (in 2020), but that’s JUMP performing with other artists …
Getting Covid Vaccines
Soooo, I got my vaccine. I’ve been drafting this post since I got my first dose of vaccine, and scheduled to post it after I got my second dose of vaccine. But because of one thing and another, somehow this was posted a bit late. But, well, now that you can read this post, it …
More Japanese Movies: Try to Imagine
Dissertation and Covid somehow made me watch more movies, anime, and dramas. Well, what else can I do? I can’t travel, right? Sigh. Hence, I’ll share some more Japanese movies here. I’ll share my thoughts too since I made some polls about the story in my Instagram. Well, I’m just curious about what people would …
Some Japanese Dramas to Watch
I am back with my Japanese drama recommendation. Well, not that I haven’t recommended any in a while. If you followed my weekly blog posts, you would notice that I actually recommended a drama while posting my song translation^^ But yeah, this one is kinda overdue since I watched these dramas last Fall and some …
More Quotes, More Inspiration and Motivation
I posted some quotes before (read here!) But I’ve still got a lot. I’m kinda crazy about “quotes”. When I listen to a song, watch a movie or a drama, or read a book, and then encounter beautiful sentences, whether it is motivational, inspirational, or simply shoves the reality onto my face, I love them. …
