Script Within A Script~

[书卷一梦] a.k.a.
[A Dream within a Dream]~

The first episode is definitely hilarious…
…while the last episode is interesting…

Song of the Day: 错茧 (Wrong Cocoon) - Jane Zhang 张靓颖

The Apothecary Returns~

Season 2 is here!

[薬屋のひとりごと]
a.k.a. [The Apothecary Diaries]
a.k.a. [Kusuriya no Hitorigoto]~

Oh yes his identity is revealed in this one!

But now that she has returned to where she was before…
I'm very curious how the story will continue on from here…


Song of the Day: 百花繚乱 (Hyakka Ryouran) - Lilas Ikuta

Turning Silent~

Lost…

My…

Voice…

Again?!


No…

No no…

No no no…

WAIT!

Introducing Bofurin~

With 2 Seasons of this:

[Wind Breaker] S1~

[Wind Breaker] S2~

Fight to lead…

Lead to fight…

Song of the Day: Stronger - Ryo Takahashi feat. Zachary Fitzgerald & Foggy-D

Piece of the Day: B.Z.ᐸCrashedᐳ - Ryo Takahashi

Guess The Enemy~

It's really not difficult…

[藏海传]
a.k.a. [Legend of Zang Hai]~

Given how we were pretty much decided (in fact pretty much convinced) about the identity of the mastermind (as well as the identity of the masked person) pretty early on…& eventually having our guesses proven to be accurate…I can only conclude:

We have watched too many mystery suspense hidden spy warfare shows already!

That aside…this is one pretty impressive guy…

I was more impressed by his dad though…LOL!


Song of the Day: 是我 - Sun Nan 孙楠

Beyond The Walls~

What's Beyond the Walls?

Feels…

My feels…

My overwhelming feels…
[Attack on Titan – Beyond the Walls World Tour] @ The Esplanade~

The most overwhelming feels…
In the most EPIC experience…
In my entire experience of life~

Ticking Ticking~

This is just the first month back to the original school routine…

& all these appointments in our calendar are already piling up…

With each ranking high in urgency…in importance…in priority…

Starting to Tick~

Having to do any blood tests at all…is scary enough…

& now that I've seen the whole process of how it's done…I think a finger prick blood test is actually much scarier than a normal blood test?!

In any case…it's been yet another painful experience…

Sudden trips to the A&E are just never anything good…

Live To Read~

It's like…no books no life?

[本好きの下剋上 ～司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません～]
a.k.a.
[Honzuki no Gekokujō: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan o Erandeiraremasen]
a.k.a.

Three seasons into the story…we sure got the message:
Read to live!
Live to read!

Song of the Day: 髪飾りの天使 - Megumi Nakajima 中島 愛

Piece of the Day: 一歩進んだよ · Michiru

Brother Wins~

[锦绣安宁]
a.k.a. [The Rise of Ning]~

Well we've seen this actor as a main character in a C-drama series only twice…& both times he has to be in love with his sister?! Oh well…we still finished this one…

It's bad enough to be friend-zoned…but being brother-zoned is just hard to watch…

No issue there for 2nd male leads…but seriously it's not ok for any 1st male lead…

Note to self: I cannot accept this - no more brother-sister romance settings for me…


Song of the Day: 安宁 - A-Lin

Quote of the Day: 我喜欢的人呢，首先要仪表堂堂，人品出众，有才华，但不能是个书呆子。知道世故而不世故，武艺高强，心性坚韧 还得护我疼我。只要跟他在一起他就能明白我心中所想、及能让我觉得一世安稳。-罗宜宁 in [锦绣安宁] E34

Translation: The person I like must first be dignified and upright, with exceptional character and talent, but not a bookworm. He should be wise about the world without being worldly, strong in martial arts, resilient in spirit, and be protective and caring towards me. When I'm with him, he should understand my heart, and make me feel secure for the rest of my life. -Luo Yining in [The Rise of Ning] E34

Going Cyber~

[Cyberpunk: Edgerunners]~

Finished the series in one sitting - feels like we just sat through a very long movie…

Anyway…how organic are you? That's a really sad yet interesting question here…


Song of the Day: Who's Ready for Tomorrow - Rat Boy

Piece of the Day: Run to the Edge - Marcin Przybyłowicz and P.T. Adamczyk

Ambition Is Eminence~

To be some Eminence…that's some ambition…

[陰の実力者になりたくて!]

Song of the Day: Drown - milet

Piece of the Day: 力動 (Fierce) - Yutaka Yamada やまだ 豊

Love After Pain~

[流水迢迢]
a.k.a. [Love of Nirvana]~

Wow I could not find it in myself to support the romance from the start to the end…

Maybe it's just me…

…but in all honesty this must truly be the ultimate story where the entire time from since the very beginning of the story I had hoped from the bottom of my heart that the female lead would have some backbone & NEVER fall in love with the male lead…

& by "NEVER"…I mean it to be NEVER…EVER?

& now please accept my apologies for the spoiler…

How really hard it was for me to finish this…LOL~


Song of the Day: 迢迢 (Far Away) - He Jie 何洁 & Wang Yuexin 王栎鑫

10 Years Post-Vows~

Still in pain…

…but still a happy anniversary…
…& also a happy mother's day…

Celebrating our first blessed decade of marriage…

Knowing how indeed…the years are easy to count…

But be made to truly count? In no way that's easy at all~

Not Well~

I'm not sick…
Just in pain…

So in pain…
I can't eat…

So in pain…
I can't sleep…

So in pain…
I can't think…

I'm still sane…
Just in pain…

Can't Sleep To Live~

…when episodes of losing consciousness result in waking with wounds…

…wounds newly & freshly added on top of old wounds split apart again…
…wounds self-inflicted beyond doubt but involuntarily it is beyond doubt…
…wounds so crippling & long-lasting for the entire day…for entire days…
…wounds causing pain so debilitating & insufferable I'd rather be dead…

…when losing consciousness is itself such a high-risk ordeal it's terrifying…

I ask…is there any way to live without sleeping?

Can't Eat To Live~

…when eating is pure torture & I'd really rather die but still have to eat…

I ask…is there any way to live without eating?

Leveling Up Alone~

We finally meet the most famous overpowered MC of this time in this one…

[Solo Leveling] S1~

[Solo Leveling] S2~

So charming & enjoyably exciting…it definitely lives up to the hype~

& it feels a bit like a "Higher-level Adult SAO Alone" version? LOL!

Many around us have long finished reading the original web novel…

But since we ourselves have not…I don't know…can't say for sure…

Is it just me…or is there a major lack of character development here?

Anyway…either way we will certainly be waiting for its next season!


Song of the Day: LEvel - SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:TOMORROW X TOGETHER

Piece of the Day: [Solo-Leveling] SymphonicSuite-Lv.4 - SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] 澤野弘之

But well for now we'll just finish the first 4 seasons of this:

[Golden Kamuy] S1~

[Golden Kamuy] S2~

[Golden Kamuy] S3~

[Golden Kamuy] S4~

Featuring mental sicknesses related to war & difficult childhood experiences…

Hope they'll find the gold soon!

Song of the Day: 融雪 (Yuusetsu) - THE SIXTH LIE

In The Dafeng~

[大奉打更人]
a.k.a. [Guardians of the Dafeng]~

Wow they left this hanging…
It's unlikely I know but hope they see to the continuation & completion of the story…

With the SAME CAST please…
Anyway this was good…neither too boring…nor too exciting…
Not exactly a series we'd be in much of a hurry to complete…

Meanwhile it's interesting enough…with very nice soundtracks!


Song of the Day: 诗仙 (Poet Immortal) - Yisa Yu 郁可唯 & Zao An 早安

Living Without A Voice~

It's Day 12 of absolute muteness…

Counting 12 days without a voice…

So it's been almost 2 weeks now…

Am I going to get my voice back?

Voicelessness 2025~

It's now day 3 of having my voice lost completely…

The last time I lost my voice…was just last April…

So…like what…is it going to be a yearly thing now?

Legoland for 105cm~

At 107cm…the boy can take practically all the rides already!

So this time we managed to take all the rides!

All the dry ones that is~

So…it's time to introduce roller coasters to the kid right? Of course~

& now we have oee's first roller coaster ride photo…
taken on his 1st real roller coaster ride…

But looks like he really does not like roller coasters very much…lol~

The boy would prefer lego~

Only managed to watch just a few shows again this time…oh well~

Anyway…one year later…we're back at the same hotel~

Back at the same swimming pool at the same hotel~

With a few familiar & a few new food options around the hotel now~

Nice…every trip's a new experience!

[Dr. Stone]~

[Dr. Stone: Stone Wars]~

[Dr. Stone: New World]~

Anybody living in the age of science & technology should watch this~

It will be TRULY ENLIGHTENING…to say the least~

& by Season 3…EXHILARATING it will be too indeed!

So apparently this story will finally end in two parts in Season 4 huh…

Well needless to say…we will definitely want to see to the end of this!
