Eidul Fitr, 2 days to come

It's the end of Ramadhan, and opening to Syawal.
And Eidul Fitr is 2 days to come.

 Thankfully, this year's celebration is less fussy than the years before.
We have Grandma with us at our home so we don't have to travel back to the village and Dad's side of the family should be gathering on the second day of Eid so we have the first day to ourselves. Our own private Eid celebration with our family. ^^

 Mom had given up on dragging me through stores to find some dresses, thank God for that, and conceded my point of only rummaging through countless clothes in the cupboard. Of course, she had to put restrictions. Else we all know I'm gonna end up wearing jeans and shirt on Eid and won't that be tragic for them. (o^o)

 Onee-san and baby bro are home for a week for Eid. And my friends, Fabio, Kei, Kyo, and some of the others would be back in town too. I hope we'd have time to hang out some time.

 I can't wait to see them. xD

 We hadn't keep in touch much, since Fabio and Kei are working their asses off at their respective colleges and Kyo and I only meet up from time to time though we have good relationship.
Things are still quite awkward with Kei, I don't know how to address that. I guess I have to leave it to time to fix things. Whether or not it could be fixed, who knows?

 Minutes before, baby bro just casually asked me as he drums his fingers on the keyboard, 

 bro: hey, sis. When you're gonna find yourself a boyfriend?

 and I spluttered, the question took me by surprise.

 me: w-what?! who taught you that?! a-and why ask me, I'm the second sister! you should ask Onee-san before me!

 Onee-san: I'm out of the question! Don't drag me into this, dweeb!

 me: what a ridiculous question! it's RIDICULOUS!

 and just went to take a warm shower.
Holy crap, that surprised the crap outta me.

 I don't mind dating, honestly. I just couldn't find the time or the energy to give a damn about another person romantically besides myself right now. It's too much.

 I'm sure someday I'll be a decent human being to give love as much as the other guy does but right now, I've got too much shit on my own I gotta wade through and I don't want to drag anyone else through that.

26 and still alive. who knew?

  Honestly, it has been a long..LONG time since the last update. Mostly because Twitter has become my new "blog", so to speak, and writing long posts consumes too much of time and energy I no longer have these days. Now that I look back on my old posts about what I thought of Twitter (nothing good, tbh), it's ironic how it replaced this blog even though this place is basically a record of my ongoing life from when I was 13 years old. The cringy posts, the cringe UwU anime talk, the cringe everyfuckingthing, basically. But it was fascinating to re-read my progress of growing up. The way my mind matured, and consequently, my understanding of myself. I'm glad I kept up with this record, so now I can always have something to look at and remember. I'm an English highschool teacher now, for real and legit. Just like I always wanted to be. Sure my mental stability isn't quite there, and my MDD is still co-existing with everything else, but what matters is that I am s

Healing and re-healing and more fucking healing.

 Here we go again, trying to heal through a variety of childhood traumas. Buckle the fuckle up, I guess. So, my childhood was sprinkled with violence as much as it was surrounded by love. That's what you get when your parents never went to therapy for their traumas and subconsciously fucking up their children as a consequence. The only reason I could find myself forgiving them for their parenting mistakes is because I know they never meant to, and they are aware of what their mistakes caused, and they are actively trying to fix and understand our pain. Not every parent is like them, I am well aware, and I also know that their mistakes are not everything they are to me. There is a huge difference between parents who consciously and knowingly hurt their children and parents who just made mistakes.  For all their mistakes caused my childhood to retain damages, they also tried their best to show me love in the ways they had never been shown by their own parents, and I appreciate that.

"Toukan Koukan" ; Exchange of equal value

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is the best of the best anime can offer.  I resolutely stand by this statement, even when there are countless of other animes that can teach us many things such as Gosick, Soul Eater, The Children who Chased Lost Voices, Code Geass, Sword Art Online, Tokyo Ghoul, No 6, and many more I could name. The first moment I finished FMAB, it felt like I had gone through a life and came out in tatters. So much truth put in one series. So much life. Especially when it's adorned with death. When has it not? Life and Death goes hand in hand. The one thing I love the most was the First Law of Alchemy, Equivalent Exchange. It is fair, is it not? To give all and take nothing is arguably noble. Modern people would say it's stupid and wasteful. Wise people would know that there is something more at work than the naked eyes. On the other hand, to take all and give nothing is selfish. No arguments. I don't watch these things for entertainme
