Feels good to CARRY ON at home ;)

It's been 6 days since I arrived well and safe at home from PALAM.
My break ends on this 16th, which, now I realized, is 4 days away. Holy shit, I didn't even realize that till now lol wtf. Time is like sand around here sriously. 

 I've only been doing what I always do at home.
Chores, read, binge-watch series, chores, and read again. 
Speaking of reading, since I finished Mr Mercedes by Stephen King a while ago, I started on Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, the author of Fangirl and Eleanor&Park.
I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in one day.
Like a frickin addict.

I finished Mr Mercedes in several weeks, not because I was busy (okay, half of it) or I read slow, it's because I try to savor my time with each book and spend more time with them personally instead of going through each page and to the next like an addict who's itching for a fix.
I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't do the same with Carry On, because it's so good. Of course, I couldn't help being sceptical at first whether or not Simon and Baz truly did end up canonically together or they were baits like Destiel, considering from what I remember in Fangirl. In the end, it was so damn good I felt like it was the day I watched Hannigram became canon all over again. Better than my treachorous, damning, OTP that is Destiel.

 (all ships that are canon are better than Destiel, duh. Because Destiel is NOT.)

 There are still several books I haven't gotten around to read yet and I promised myself I would. Perhaps Sis would be amenable to me taking a few back to my room in college?

Anyway, Carry On is fabulous.
Wondrous.
Magickal.
Stunning.
Ephemeral.
Beauty of Youth.

Having read Fangirl beforehand (of course, since Fangirl is published earlier than Carry On) I can't help but to focus on Simon and Baz as a ship, while taking in their characters and feelings as a whole, separate people second. It's quite unfair, given their struggles.
It feels like I'm just glossing over the surface, ignoring the variety of gems underneath.

 Which is where the fanfics come on. 

 (BOOM. 4th wall disintegrated.)

A Semblance of Balance

Hi, guys. It's been a while. No worries, I have my reason, which entails two words. Mom, and the black sheep. Mom was pissed he wouldn't go to school 'cause he stayed up late surfin' the net, so she confiscated the wi-fi. It's connected now for the weekend 'cause my baby bro is home for the moment and he pleaded the case with Dad. Way to go, baby bro! x3 That said, I'll only post a few stuff here and there for these two days. Now, regarding my last post, it was the first night after many many months of self-recovery a relapse of that degree. As I stated, it used to happen frequently during my high school days, usually when I am alone because of course I would never have them when I am with my sis or my baby bro since those voices have no place in my head when I am happy and content. I locked the door, and spent the night retching in the toilet bowl. I had records, but they were all gone with the flood. So that's that. Funnily, the urge had grown...

Nightmare in White

 Last night, I had the most horrible dream. Recently, I've gotten the habit of sleeping on the couch, being the couch potato that I am. Most days, I'm too tired to carry my ass up to my bedroom and sleep properly on my bed. Days when I'd forget to do my night skincare and then regret it horribly the next day.  Same case happened last night. I took a shower, ate dinner on the couch with Natsume Yuujinchou on, and fell asleep. It tends to be cold downstairs in the living room at night, and I was wearing short shorts so my legs were freezing. I briefly remember pulling a blanket over my legs in my sleep haze. The details of my dream are hazy by now, but I can still feel the intense disgust and horror at the bottom of my throat. There was the air of something big happening, bustling noises of people moving. There was someone walking beside me, mumbling noises in the background. Everything in my eyesight was filled the golden color, as if we were walking in a ripe wheat field by...

"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...
