#2: New year resolutions

-
New year resolutions are interesting. We plan to make a difference in our life at the end of a year or the start of the next. A lot of thinking and planning go into these new year resolutions, for some of us. Others, write random and vague ones but still with the idea of wanting to change or improve. And there is also a large portion who have them just for the sake of it.

My 2018's resolutions was a long list. It was extensive and consisted of way too many things that I plan to change and/or do. However, not all of them were un-achievable. The ones that are actually logical were the ones I failed to do. One of those resolutions is posting on my blog at least twice a month which, to be honest, is something I was actually able to do. But I didn't.



Thinking back at it, my reasons for not doing it are irrational and I'd prefer to keep the larger portion of my reasoning to myself. All in all, I failed in realizing that part of my resolution but I'm not gonna beat myself up about it. I've done that in the past and nothing good comes out of that.

Though, I'm not planning to give up just yet. Ambitions are funny things. They keep me going. So now, I will attempt to do this again. To post at least once every month. I'm keeping my hopes up and aiming to focus more effort to doing this task.

Now you know one of my 2019's resolutions. Maybe I'll post the other ones later this month.

So stay tuned!

Anime series I never expected to like #1

I have been watching anime before I knew what anime was. As a child, I remember waking up early to watch Cardcaptor Sakura or sleeping late to watch Hell Girl. Only later in life was I introduced to this term 'anime' that basically gave a name to my favourite thing to watch. The one thing that hasn't changed as I transitioned through life is watching anime. True I have some periods where I haven't been keeping up with the anime community but I was still watching really old anime. Anime is a constant in my life to this day. I can't say much about the future but for now, yes I am an anime fan. However, I am not extremely up-to-date with the anime community. I miss a lot of newly-released anime and would only watch them two months, three months or even a year after it was released. Some I only know from other people's recommendations while others I've been planning to watch but haven't had the chance to. Either way, I have lots to catch up with up to t...

Nami’s 30-day journaling challenge experience

Journaling, a daily recording of an individual’s life, thoughts and emotion. Everyone has done it at least once be it out of curiosity or out of obligation by say, an educator. It is, to some, a hobby while others find it a bore. What satisfaction stems from the ritual of writing events that occurred from early dawn to late dusk? What benefit can the monotonous activity have in the fast-paced living of the 21 st  century? When the Movement Control Order started in Malaysia, I couldn’t go anywhere, so I spent my time playing games and, to no surprise, writing. As a means to keep me from losing track of time, writing became a sort of motivation. I woke up every day to write and write some more before I sleep. My writing frequency increased (compared to the past year), from twice a month to every day, in two weeks. Seeing this pattern, on a whim, I challenged myself to fill up two pages every day for 30 days. 30-day journaling challenge 30-day challenges are common. Why 30 days? It so...

Replaying Fire Emblem Three Houses (again)

 This may be a year too late but I’m still writing it.  If you have any interest in games, specifically console games, you may have heard of Fire Emblem. If there is the off-chance that you don’t know it, Fire Emblem is a tactical role-playing game franchise. What’s a tactical role-playing game? It’s basically games that feature a grid map where the placement of units brings you to either triumph or ruin. But that’s putting it really simply. Something like this: Image from Nintendo.com I was not a big fan of strategy games as a child and that aversion has followed me into adulthood. I sincerely believed that I would never touch a game of the tactical genre in my life. Then, Fire Emblem: Three Houses (FE3H) came out last year as the latest installment of its franchise.
