reasons not to move out: our area seems not within the 500m radius of the fault line…? or is it just that we’re too small to be put on a list 😅

oh no i hope you can get another medical opinion for that! D:

my complaint is that the chef’s name isn’t readable in the otherwise beautifully designed packaging, which makes the credit feel less significant!

it’s my first time trying any variation of dubai choco btw (and i want it to stay that way) and my verdict is that it’s like a richer and less-sweet kitkat lol

Auro chocolate x SNA’AP by Nouel Catis: dubai chocolate: pistachio & kunafa filled 32% milk chocolate from THE ORIGINAL chef behind the viral Dubai Chocolate recipe

photo of the chocolate bar: instead of squares there are uneven quadrilaterals and paint-like splatters of blue and chocolate

today i bought expensive chocolate out of anger (thankfully it was tasty AND aesthetically pleasing so i don’t exactly regret it)

also DNF’d the Hidden Love manhua which similarly i liked for the older bro character but had such a bland story. and the MC existed in so much unexamined privilege i assumed they cast Y$X to play her in the drama 😂 (they cast ZL$ which is close enough bc ZL$ brought out her full baby voice lol)

i did really like the little sister character in this one (a saintess who chooses not to abandon her kingdom bc the ppl who wronged her sister are there and she wants to make them suffer) but it’s just really a nothingburger of a story

Parnacorta… what kind of place will it be?

recent DNFs: the manga where the MC is sold to the kingdom of panna cotta

the 2nd tip makes me wonder how many such DMs you’ve gotten 😭

“pristine robes stained by the dew of carnal desire” goes so hard!

taiwan pineapple cake

someone gifted my dad a box of pineapple cakes bc 🇹🇼 10/10 and my tastebuds were not ready for how how tart and pineapple-y these ones were 😂

…clearly i have a different understanding of portions bc my younger bro has confessed to finishing them in one sitting

my strawberries disappeared 😭 they were pretty cheap but there was enough left for 2 more days 😭

once again failing to romanticize my life and journal in this nice space bc it is too hot!!! and i want to go home!!!

me ordering food and trying not to look the cook behind the cashier in the eye bc i’m sure he’s seen me circling the stall like a shark, waiting for it to open 😂

absently got dressed for the night only to realize in amusement that i had put on citrus-print pjs and apple-print socks

letterboxd culture is also super weird to me on the fandom and normie level bc ppl take it so seriously??? like for some reason ppl are so invested in how other ppl write reviews (long, short, funny, serious) and they also take other user reviews really personally? it’s just goodreads for movies!!!

ngl one of the reasons i don’t link my letterboxd on my public accounts is bc if you click on my profile you’ll see that my most-liked review is one where i criticize one of ZXC’s movies and IDK how to hide it 😂 i did not even bother to write about detective chinatown 1900 (also starring ZXC)

yeah, it’s like, god forbid international readers acknowledge that this canon is set in asia lol

the child actress also had more mature/precocious vibes so when you get to the present-day timeline (ZL$) it feels like that character either regressed or has purposefully put on a cutesy persona, which paints her in a more self-conscious light

put on a ZL$ drama and i'm yelling bc ZL$'s voice is actually more high-pitched than the child actress who plays a younger version of her character like?????

it was just "yihe" lol choices were made

speech bubble: he’s going to yeecouver for his internship in april. he finished all the classes required for this semester.

reading the eng translation of the hidden love manhua… letting my eyes glaze over the anglicized names… but “yeecouver” (name of place) is simply too much for me…

the way the manga twists itself into knots trying to justify its premise and throw a sheen of romance over it instead of leaning into how wrong it is makes everything worse… the ML being technically older is actually off-putting 😭 just, everything about this is bad who exactly is this for

saw a romance manga whose premise is “20-y/o-old woman frees a physically 15-y/o boy from a deaging curse by kissing him”… i thought it’d be a wholesome forehead kiss, but it was a kiss on the lips and the FL literally could have kissed anyone else in that situation, but she chose. him????

an beta-reader/editor but for real life 😭😭😭

"someone had to translate my english into better english" was so real haha

also webtoon/webnovel brainrot is no joke. i now understand why readers have such poor reading ability… i also have some thoughts about how the normalization of MTL is probably beneficial at an individual level but has a net negative effect at a community level. we don’t have to live like this 😭

i need to stop reading webtoons, my english literacy is at stake
