Goodbye Year 2020

Posted in: # Mass Effect | 2020 posts | Anime | Art Stuff | Interest: Games | Interest: TV | My Fangirl Side | My Paranoid Side | Reading

I feel like I need to post something today just to summarise what happened since my last post (which was in October. Wow). 

Nothing much, really. 

But there's one thing I must include in this post today: Despite what happened this year, my year 2020 is a better year than my last year. I feel like an empty shell in 2019. This year, I feel more alive. Even though I spent most of the year at home. Yes. 

2020 is a complicated year.. but I won't pretend that it never happen. Maybe it's just me wanting to see the bright side of things. I survived. I guess that's the only thing that matters now... seeing how I look forward to futures again. Not going to go out much yet at this time - my paranoid side yells a solid NO - but I look forward to visiting [botanical] gardens in the far future. 

Some mundane updates, in random order...
✿ I've been watching Oguri Shun's old dorama, BORDER, recently and I'm appreciating it more now that I somewhat made peace with my dark side (hue hue hue).. the show was actually dark from the beginning! I never realised that before.. very interesting.
✿ This is the year I pick up old & new hobbies. Phew! I don't know how people do it.. I'm so bad at allocating time for all of them. Anyway... I've been reading a bit again. Did some minor watercolour paintings. Became more interested in gardening. Also, I learnt how to knit! Planned to learn crocheting too but I underestimated the amount of yarns I need so that is going to happen next year I guess.
✿ Watched more anime... Music-themed "Kono Oto Tomare" got me crying buckets. "Moriarty the Patriot" made me realised I love hearing Hatanaka Tasuku sing anime theme song so that brought me back to re-watching "Naka no Hito Genome: Jikkyochu" (realised how much I love his character there lol). I really love the colour scheme used in "Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun"! I was really impressed by Kakihara Tetsuya's deep voice in "Gibiate" but that anime is a mess - I don't recommend it. Also just realised this year that I've been in love with Ono Yuki's voice before I even know it's him...? It's so weird. How could I forget that he's Hori-senpai in "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun"!!! Also, I'm strangely in love with "Fugou Keiji: Balance UNLIMITED" :P. My dark side finds Anos from "The Misfit of Demon King Academy" very appealing (and having his seiyuu sing the main theme song in some episodes was.. perfection) - thanks to that one kill&revive scene in Episode #1. He's a very charming character really. 
✿ Still gets annoyed watching horror movies nowadays. I always find something to complain about.
✿ Enjoyed watching "Avenue 5" so much. Its dark humour is my type of humour XD.. And they have this one scene that, to me, symbolised the situation months before when people are refusing to wear masks in public overseas. OMG that scene was brilliant at showing top-notch human stupidness .. now I wanna go watch it again.. 
✿ I actually enjoyed the 2nd season of "Lost in Space" more than the 1st one! And that's just because I loved playing the "Mass Effect" game series... I'm also a fan of Toby Stephens (after seeing his Mr Rochester).. If I have my own robot, I'm going to name him Legion!


Okay, I'll stop here since that's all I can think of for now lol
