New Place, New Life.

Hey guys.
So, I'm back. Freshly 20.
*shivers of dread*

That was my worst birthday yet, in the history of my birthdays. Granted, I don't normally mind whether or not it was celebrated : regardless the wishes from my closest people has always been more than enough for me. I'm a simple person with simple needs. *shrug*
But in the occasion of my phone being broken and just generally useless, for the first time ever, my birthday meant something to me and the voices it normally brings.
It felt..lonely.

 More than once, I was disheartened by the fact that I couldn't receive their wishes or if they even remembered. I only have so little people in my life (who matters) after all.

 So I got me a new phone, for temporary use till my old one can get fixed at home. That means I'd lost all of my contacts with the exception of my family, Amelia and Irene, and some of the newly made groups that included me. Kei, Kyo, and Fabio stuck around, for a little while. I suppose it was a formidable effort if not a somewhat confusing ruse.

 Ignoring all of that, I am now a TESL Degree programme student at PALAM Campus under the Education branch for approximately 4 consecutive years. Which means I'll be 24 when I'll be requesting my Masters education. Will I continue to PhD? That will remain to be decided.
Turns out sis's place is around 2 hours away by highway and that is a delight to both of us. I have a second home for the weekends, and she gets a compatible housemate during.
Win-Win.

 MDS week has ended and tomorrow starts the Academic lecture about the path of our courses. I presume the next weeks to come will be horrendously tiring and exhausting. 
I look forward to it.
Anything to keep the words of faceless thoughts in my head. Ever since he and I broke up (that is another story I may or may not keep), things doesn't seem to sit right in me. 
I don't like it. I don't understand it. If I do, I fear it.

 Plus with the coming ceremony of welcoming strangers in our lives (all but one), I absolutely hate the space between my thoughts and mind and heart right now. Given time, they do most certainly make dangerous (and stupid) decisions sound sane.
I have no time to regret imbecilic things.
As it is, I am in a new place for what I assume to be a considerable amount of time.
Might as well craft myself a new life to live with.

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
