Crux.

Looking at Google Maps; so many thoughts, so many emotions.

Soon I'll be a whole continent away from home. It just looks so far apart. (9060 miles and 190 hours by land route, according to Maps.)

I don't quite want to think of being away so soon. Every time I sit down to seriously plan I feel physically ill. I hope I can take it well when I'm finally there.

Then I think of all the people I've ever met, and have grown attached to. Where we'll all be in the near future. Scattered across the globe. Will we still be friends, 5, 10, 20 years from now? Every time there is a meetup, it usually isn't me who initiates it. I really hate it when the time comes to say goodbye again. But that's just me being negative. I'm glad there are good people in the world, I'm glad we met, and I hope nothing will change between us all, even if time does. Even if we get too busy with our own lives, even if our own characters inevitably change. Even if so many things are left unsaid.

Who knew I'd resist this transition into growing up so much. But as I've said before, I'll say it again: uncomfortable, new situations help me grow. I don't like it, but I will push myself out there and stick it out. By default, I have a whole lot of flaws, but I can actively do things to change things around. Do it enough times and it becomes a new habit, yeah?

Looking at the map again, I guess there are so many other places without map pins... So many possibilities. Who knows what could be next.

But I know this story.



It's an ADVENTURE. :)

Unabashedly Revealing Character Flaws In Public Blogging Again?

So I was going through my old posts and I think I'll pick up writing here again.

Sure, it shows the whole world how overemotional and freakout-able I am, but hey, that's who I am.

I suppose it serves as a point of reference for myself; I think better when writing. It just seems easier to compose my thoughts. Of course I'm going to have to think of how this changes things when I apply for employment, but hey. *shrugs* Now's now.

Oh you're free to tag along for the ride, if you want. Whoever still actually reads this and still wants to know how I'm doing whenever. Say hello if you haven't in awhile, chances are I miss you and will gladly reciprocate your greetings. :D

Thoughts On Korra Season 1

Now on to the less serious things in life, which I do believe I excel at.

Korra Season 1 is over!! Don't know when Season 2 comes out but I sure hope it's before withdrawal syndrome kicks in. I guess it was pretty epic. I wish they had more time for more episodes where there is proper character development, but oh well. We can't have everything in life.

I was pretty stunned that there was suicide in a kid's show though. Tarrlok and Amon blown to fishbait chunks. Eww.

I don't like the way Makorra is developing! *whine* It's just doesn't sit well with me that Mako is so indecisive (but pretty) but is getting so much love. I was very anti-Asami at first but I'm finally willing to admit she's got some real stuff. And deserves a lot better. I really liked Bolin but the way he's been developed so far, all his earlier promising likeability has degraded into a mildly amusing himbo personality. So there. My thoughts on Season 1 in one breath.

Hopefully Season 2 will open up opportunities for the audience to really get to know the characters. I like the whole steampunk vibe but I hope things will lighten up and there will be more adventure-y feel, but that's probably because I'm pretty attached to the Legend of Aang.

I take an animated series so seriously hahaha.

But I really like stories and storytelling in general. Visual especially. I hear we have an animation faculty where I'm going. I shall sneak into their classes and superglue myself to the next John Lasseter.


Dear God I love gifs.

I Watched Brave!

Merida's purtyyy. Why is that not my natural hair color hmph.

Speaking of Pixar I guess Brave was okay. It felt more Dreamworks-ish to me (I blaspheme, and for that I am sorry). Quite a few reviews are saying it good in its own right but it wasn't fantastic, but maybe Pixar's previous successes overshadowed this one. I agree. Still a Pixar fan though. :)

Reblogged from Blogshop Ep.1 - Mockingjay Pin


Reblogged from
VISIT!!

RM35.00

"It's as if someone fashioned a small golden bird and then attached a ring around it. The bird is connected to the ring only by its wing tips. I suddenly recognize it. A mockingjay."
―Katniss Everdeen

Having read and loved all three volumes of the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, I was of course, nothing short of ecstatic when the movie premiered in March this year in Malaysia. 

Personally I'm finding it really tough to find Hunger Games merchandise in Malaysia, but I'm beginning to see mockingjay necklaces pop up in a few rare places, D.Lirious being one of them. I believe as of this date they are still taking pre-orders, so click on the link to check them out! 

I already have the necklaces, but I wanted the pin so bad, because I am a giddy fangirl. Plain and simple. The closest (geographically) thing I could find was the official NECA (National Entertainment Collectibles Association) Movie Prop Replica available at MockingjaySG

The ones available here are NOT authentic Hunger Games merch, but when I saw them I just had to have them. And look, I saved a few extra for you too! ;) 

You NEED them. Like Peeta needs Katniss. 

Just look at them puppydog eyes.

Since Blogger doesn't seem to have a reblog option like Tumblr, I decided to just copy and paste my posts from my (very very new) blogshop onto this one! Yays!

Yup, starting up a little side income, it's still very much under construction, but hey, you're watching the babysteps yo. 

I know this is kind of my personal blog, but given that my buddies have kind of all fallen off the Blogger train, this place has been dusty for a while now, leaving behind echoes of my tempestuous youth. Feel free to revisit my embarrassing emoposts and feel young again!

Anyways because the shop is super new, and doesn't quite turn up in the search results like I want it to. Heh. A few of my posts here do show up in searches, so I'm hoping it will help the shop. 

Please browse around my budding little blogshop HERE! Please be gentle. I have a fragile heart lol. I will be eternally grateful for your support and more stuff will be updated soon, I promise! :D
