Not only that, but I will do so for my little family as well. I will eat better, I will exercise more, I will focus on my new self-care app and I will focus on my gratitude journal. Cultivating a healthy, happy life is so important! As for being there for my family and friends, I will be there for them whether they want to laugh, yell, cry, seek advice and so on.

However, I actually really enjoy working and right now our hours are a little low- so I will bring more wealth into my life. Maybe this is with a project or a side job or another job I just love doing that lasts a very long time! I will mention that I work from home- so I can be with Astrid, Koji and our babies all day! My Work-Life Balance is pretty damn good. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">❤️ <span style="color: #783f04;"><b style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">I Love My Life And Those In My Life</b></span> - I know it's a little silly, because it's something that I have in abundance and there is never a fear of losing this but I include Love on all of my dream boards. Love is one of the most important parts of my life! Love for my little family (my handsome husband Koji, our beautiful wife Astrid, our animal babies and my sister-in-law), myself, where I live, where I'll be living, my hobbies, my interests, my goals... I just love love. Of course, the strongest love that I have is for my little family and myself. But loving so much just adds extra joy to my life! So, I will love my life and those in my life! I will focus on the good, welcome positivity and succeed in what I want to accomplish! All with a heart full of love.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That is my New Moon Dream Board for this beautiful September New Moon!

Cultivar uma vida saudável e feliz é tão importante! Quanto a estar lá para minha família e amigos, estarei lá para eles se quiserem rir, gritar, chorar, pedir conselhos e assim por diante.

Eu sou o Community Manager, Marketer e Content Strategist (mais o Recruiter!) da minha empresa de desenvolvimento de jogos indie. No entanto, eu realmente gosto de trabalhar e agora nossas horas são um pouco baixas, então vou trazer mais riqueza para minha vida. Talvez seja com um projeto ou um trabalho paralelo ou outro trabalho que eu adoro fazer que dura muito tempo!

Amor pela minha pequena família (meu lindo marido Koji, nossa linda esposa Astrid, nossos bebês animais e minha cunhada), eu mesmo, onde moro, onde estarei morando, meus hobbies, meus interesses, meus objetivos. .. Eu simplesmente amo o amor. Claro, o amor mais forte que eu tenho é pela minha pequena família e por mim mesma. Mas amar tanto apenas adiciona alegria extra à minha vida!

Someday, eventually a blogger will stumble across this post and resonate with my writing and we'll follow each other and become friends. That is what I believe! Though, of course, friends who I haven't spoken to in a long time might still be blogging themselves and will reach out and say hello and I will be so glad to catch up with them!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Plus, of course, just writing to write and keep my special little space here is good, too. </span></span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">😁</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've been really struggling this year. From my lumbar degenerative disc disease (which sounds scary but isn't actually a "disease") to my mental health... It's all just been <i>bad</i>.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've actually been suffering with my worst bout of deep depression since 2015. Thankfully, nothing is bad, as in nothing bad is happening in my life. In fact, outside of some money issues, everything is going wonderfully and I am so happy but yet that thick depressive smog just covers me.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I keep trying to pull myself together. I'm taking my medication, of course, though if it's working or not, I am not sure... I spend all day with my loves and they help me so so much, plus of course, all of our babies. My job is supportive and my Doctor is great. I even have therapy now! Astrid bought this large bundle of random incense and one of them is jasmine scented. It's such an uplifting, positive and magickal scent and it's been helping me a lot.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have recently started time blocking my day (though I have only done this once... I will start this fresh upcoming week by doing so more) and I have also been embracing magick again. It's been SO long since I've embraced my Witchiness. <br /><br />I was on Etsy, looking up unique perfume oil that had a mossy scent (which I know is very specific) and I kept coming across the most magickal scents that made me feel that pull of magick and nature, of ancient rituals and special meanings. The perfume oil I ended up getting is actually based on Countess Bathory, which is much more gothic than Pagan, but the scent is SO me!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj2Gpe_bUtl4e2nBqppY5QZI5uw_bghNzVuO3H24--R5XLA0ovq2rwey5T6O3piPYGk5Q6u5c79iOgBcr7ouWyffEMY_-9KAETTSCht04GkHy18spuAWXPM-UFCU6IlgUGMNIi21purlmmSKKIu0aup7kmHZmgSFVRZhu9SOc-RmVed5b4BtxUfHMvVHA=s794" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bathory Perfume Oil" border="0" data-original-height="794" data-original-width="794" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj2Gpe_bUtl4e2nBqppY5QZI5uw_bghNzVuO3H24--R5XLA0ovq2rwey5T6O3piPYGk5Q6u5c79iOgBcr7ouWyffEMY_-9KAETTSCht04GkHy18spuAWXPM-UFCU6IlgUGMNIi21purlmmSKKIu0aup7kmHZmgSFVRZhu9SOc-RmVed5b4BtxUfHMvVHA=w640-h640" title="Bathory Perfume Oil" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/468942458/bathory-perfume-oil-with-blood-orange">Bathory Perfume Oil</a></b> from <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FabledFragrances?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=468942458">Fabled Fragrances</a></b><br /><b>Scent notes:</b> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Blood Orange, Sangria, Bulgarian Rose, Red Currant, Red Musk, and Amber</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I cannot wait to breath in this rich, royal scent.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But yes!

I wish I could say I was addicted to a game or focused on journaling; creating my D&D character or doing lots and lots of cleaning but the fact is... I have been dealing with the worst executive dysfunction of my life.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Not many people know what executive dysfunction is, even if they're knowledgeable about mental health and ADHD especially. I describe executive dysfunction like so:<br /><br /><i>Imagine you have a light bulb that has burnt out. You know where a replacement is. You can reach the light bulb without any issue. It's dark and you really need the additional light but... You just can't make yourself go and replace the light bulb.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">However, that's... Light bulbs. To give a better example: you're a gamer and the best expansion pack for your favorite game just came out... You have a great PC, you have the money for the game and you have the time to play. But you just can't get yourself to buy and play the game. It's like a block that feels impossible to move past.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That's what I've been experiencing and it's so tough. I also feel very agitated. I'm not grumpy or anything like that but I feel <i>off</i>. I really love feeling comfy, cozy and peaceful. But lately, my brain is anxious and my body feels weird and I feel... Chaotic isn't the right word? I'm calm. But I'm not peaceful. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Everything has been suffering because of all of this. I am having an extremely hard time focusing, I haven't journaled (which is REALLY helpful to me) in a long time, I can't really get myself to play anything other than Wushu and you know I love gaming... I haven't watched my favorite TV series' or started a MUD like I want. Cleaning is non-existent and even taking care of my physical and mental health has fallen to the wayside. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's a very jumbled mess and every single thing is making me feel worse. I just can't get myself to do anything and it's so stressful!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am 99% sure this is executive dysfunction, especially because I am currently not on any ADHD medication. I've tried Adderall and Ritalin and neither helped me. Now I'm on Modafinil, which isn't for ADHD but is still a stimulant (for sleep disorders.) However, there is the possibility that my anti-depressant has worn off. This can definitely happen! You can be on a medication for years and suddenly the dosage or medication just... Doesn't work anymore. Or it's lack of ADHD medication AND my anti-depressant wearing off.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have an appointment with my Doctor in the morning. I've been putting even this off... </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I want to get back to my Angie way of being! </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To end this post, I'd like to share <a href="https://ehmannwrites.com/2019/08/15/executive-dysfunction-when-laziness-isnt-laziness/"><b>this post from E. H. Mann</b></a> that I found when Googling some information about executive dysfunction. It's about literally not being able to make yourself move from bed and it's the first time I've seen someone write about not being able to even get up and do something, like me. I hate that others go through this, but I am also relieved that I am not alone. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As usual, Astrid and Koji are taking good care of me and our babies make me so happy. I'm putting all of my effort into working and I'm having a wonderful time with my job and I think bettering my mental health and focus will make me an even better team member! </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I can't say it's all bad. I love my life. I just need to fix a little bit here and there to feel my best.</span></p>Angela Kawada (Sukeban AK)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09168718575190165087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385929262752615209.post-27827087695985161462021-12-12T00:36:00.002+09:002021-12-12T00:36:31.735+09:00I have a new job and it's perfect x being a Community Manager<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhkK-7HBfneUgUceKKcClWZr6BhOe6t-56pgm3hK35UoTFgVGvsGL1GlWZ9atDfCqg0oSA2P3Y-eetRKf0ZB3sc_xjnuLsHtWl2AZO-GvOTZqghJNuw8Om-2h9MaM1hsOO33vJO4u2k4DaHhMfuB0avUE_evOINV6r5VJxePiDZGyKJm-19WGpRhVaB5g=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Usagi Tsukino cheering gif" border="0" data-original-height="373" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhkK-7HBfneUgUceKKcClWZr6BhOe6t-56pgm3hK35UoTFgVGvsGL1GlWZ9atDfCqg0oSA2P3Y-eetRKf0ZB3sc_xjnuLsHtWl2AZO-GvOTZqghJNuw8Om-2h9MaM1hsOO33vJO4u2k4DaHhMfuB0avUE_evOINV6r5VJxePiDZGyKJm-19WGpRhVaB5g=s16000" title="Usagi Tsukino cheering gif" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: verdana;">Me to myself! </span></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I... I have my dream job? I HAVE MY DREAM JOB?! I HAVE MY DREAM JOB! The job I have dreamt of since 2004 when I was fourteen is now mine and I am so excited and proud, especially because my company is so wonderful. Our team is family and everyone is great. I truly look forward to coming in every morning and talking to them as we plan our day. My company is Legio Vox Studios and we're making the game <b><a href="https://www.teotlna.com/">The End Of The Line: New Age</a></b>! (This is our website and there's a mailing list you can sign up for!)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The End Of The Line: New Age is a mobile gacha game focused on storytelling and player choices! If you love your choices truly mattering, this is definitely a game you'd like. I reallyyyy love the story too!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm the marketing Community Manager and I am loving what I do. I'm also working from home which is PERFECT for me! I've been a gamer my whole life and now I get to work for an indie game company and I love indie gaming. Now, it's something I surround myself with even more than when I started and I am enjoying all of the amazing indie developers I've found on social media while doing my job. I follow them on my personal account too!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's amazing that my biggest hobby (gaming and social media) mixed with one of my greatest joys (community and socializing) is now my job. I also have a schedule now, so I actually can DO STUFF after work! My work day ends around 5 PM and I have all evening off. It's a great feeling! Though, I wouldn't mind having more hours if I get that chance!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Anyway, this is why I've been quiet. Despite having a schedule, I've just been so hyped! I'll start posting more often! </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'd really love if you'd follow our social media, you can find us on: <b><a href="https://twitter.com/TEOTLNewAge">Twitter</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TEOTLNewAge">Facebook</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/teotlnewage/?hl=en">Instagram</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/legiovoxstudios">LinkedIn</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/legiovoxstudios/_created/">Pinterest</a></b>!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How are you all?

Sweet little hobbies deserve quiet, cozy moments.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm sitting here writing with my Tazo Zen tea by my side, in a beautiful brown mug etched with cream colored leaves that my mother-in-law gave me. Nearby is my brand new embroidery kit, also from my mother-in-law. She bought this kit right before Halloween and there is a pattern for trick-or-treating, spooky animals like bats and spiders with a gorgeous crescent moon in the sky and finally, a Witch's hat that's surrounded by pumpkins.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Even if Halloween is over for now and November has come, Halloween and Samhain will forever be my favorite holiday and sabbat, so I am excited to have a homemade decoration that will envoke magick. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I haven't started embroidering yet, but I will be soon. I just need to be brave and start. I worry I won't be successful, but it's better to try than not to try.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'd like to show off a few Etsy embroideries that I have found and love during the start of my new hobby.

It's time for mashed potatoes, Christmas music, Yule planning, gifts and the warm cozies as we decorate for the third most fabulous time of the year! The first is birthdays and anniversaries and the second is Halloween and Samhain! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm starting November by trying to do as much as possible... Continue working on my November bullet journal pages, exercise (not gonna happen tonight </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">.·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.) and so much more.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have done some stuff, though and I should be proud of that, right?! Right! I can't let myself get caught in the negative. I will admit that my executive dysfunction can make starting anything, from stuff I absolutely love doing to stuff I have a very hard time with, <i>extremely hard</i>. The best way I can describe executive dysfunction, which is part of ADHD, is this: you have a hobby you LOVE and there's something you REALLY want to do involving it and yet you just cannot get yourself to do so. It's like physically and mentally being held back, even if it's easy.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Alright, for real now...

The one I have queued up is one that was recommended on a sponsored Instagram page, haha. The MC (Main Character) is FEMALE!!!! which is so rare for me to find and she's involved with death and demons, the kind of stuff I love. It's called The Keeper of Night and here's the summary:</span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i><span id="freeText16677869820088274430" style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Half British Reaper, half Japanese Shinigami, Ren Scarborough has been collecting souls in the London streets for centuries. Expected to obey the harsh hierarchy of the Reapers who despise her, Ren conceals her emotions and avoids her tormentors as best she can.<br /><br />When her failure to control her Shinigami abilities drives Ren out of London, she flees to Japan to seek the acceptance she’s never gotten from her fellow Reapers. Accompanied by her younger brother, the only being on earth to care for her, Ren enters the Japanese underworld to serve the Goddess of Death… only to learn that here, too, she must prove herself worthy. Determined to earn respect, Ren accepts an impossible task—find and eliminate three dangerous Yokai demons—and learns how far she’ll go to claim her place at Death’s side.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> </span></i></span></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I really think that this will become a favorite novel of mine, but of course it's too soon to tell!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Outside of novels, fashion! I bought a new pair of jeans. They're skinny jeans which I rarely wear, but I. want. BOOTS! I want Uggs or similar boots as well as big furry boots like I see on gals in Japan. The jeans are a very dark blue, inspired by a gal I found online wearing ane gyaru. I feel like this fits my style, as I am not comfortable with shorts or skirts yet and I love being comfy. Also, not just gyaru, but another huge fashion and lifestyle love of mine... Mori Kei and the other nature themed styles. Jeans aren't often used in Mori Kei, but I can totally make them work, right?! Right! Gyaru and Mori Kei are complete opposite fashion styles and lifestyles, but they are each part of me. I realized long ago that wearing just one style while longing for others and living just one lifestyle when others called to me just wasn't good for me. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm sure there are people who think I can't be Gyaru and Mori Kei... But that's their problem!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I also bought Astrid a spinner ring, myself a bullet journal (my November theme is crafty) mini calendar stencil and Koji some new incense, both a favorite scent and one that's new to him!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Oh!

I made a new friend at work as well as a pen pal, my pen pal being from the International Geek Girl Pen Pal Club! She already wrote me a letter and I wrote one back! I can't wait until it's delivered. She's my first pen pal!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Also, Shoo, my friend who I met via work, told me about Slowly! It's a Pen Pal style app where you can find (platonic!) matches and send them long letters. The best part is, depending on how close or far you are, the letters take a while to get to your new friend so there's no feeling of instant messaging! I love that so much! </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Okay, my last shift of the night starts in half an hour, so I'll wrap this up.

It's just how I've been feeling and that is that I want to go vegetarian or flexitarian, even if it's just for a little while.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I love meat. My favorite food is steak and potatoes. Bacon in the morning is joyful and I love feijoada, a very meaty Brazilian dish. I didn't choose this. In the past, I'd have a thought every... year? which was "oh... I'm eating an animal." and I'd have to put my food down. But that was VERY rare.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This year, I was eating fried chicken which I love(d) and saw something that made me ill. I won't share what and nothing was wrong with the chicken, this was just a natural piece but ever since, I've had a super hard time with meat.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Even little bits of meat, like pepperoni on a pizza. 😭 I'll be eating and trying hard not to focus on what I'm eating, but as soon as I let my guard down and do, I feel ill and can't finish.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is a very new thing that I've decided, just last week, actually. So it's still very fresh. I'd prefer to be flexitarian, but right now I can't stomach any meat. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Luckily there's loads of great veggie brands (minus bacon... I've never found a veggie bacon that doesn't take like dog treats) and veggie food in general. I plan on having dairy and eggs, though even those I'd like to go to the natural market around here and get as fresh and as healthily grown as possible.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Anyway, this is a big thing for me. Especially because it's not my choice. I was wondering, what is your FAVORITE veggie food? Whether it's fresh, frozen, homemade or from a restaurant. I just want some ideas! I'd especially love if they're fresh or frozen and easy to make though. 😂 Also, this doesn't only have to be vegetarian food like veggie patties or anything, even just like your favorite meatless pasta dish or your favorite bread! I gotta work on my grocery list.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Take care everyone! Until next time.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p>Angela Kawada (Sukeban AK)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09168718575190165087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385929262752615209.post-50565262744092215422021-10-12T01:16:00.005+09:002021-10-12T01:16:50.366+09:00Hello!

I just woke up and I can't even get coffee because someone is working on the stairs. </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">(;¬_¬) Also, I wish I could take OOTD pictures, but I have no outfits and no good mirror. 😒 I made a new friend named India, who is living where I am!!!! and she said she often will buy from Japan and that I can do my order with her. Outfits?! Outfits!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Speaking of friends... A little something that's been keeping me away from blogging. Okay, a big something. My friend who was like my sister... who WAS my sister... and I drifted apart. She found new people and left my partners and I for them. She did a lot more than that to drive me away, but being ignored by someone you love and treated like you're nothing is hard. I'll make new friends. They can't replace her and I wouldn't want them to, each person is their own individual selves and I love that. The hard thing for me, is finding friends who aren't teenagers. I don't go looking for teenagers, don't misunderstand me! I mean... I'm 32, but my hobbies are anime and manga, gaming, Japanese fashion and just being silly. I love being silly.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;">And most of all... I won't go into detail, but <i>kink</i>. Some lifestyles are a huge part of my life and I love them dearly, so having an actual close friends means they need to accept all of me. Who I am. They don't have to be the same way or anything, though that's a plus, but they need to understand and accept me. I will never change and I love who I am.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Also, I have two best friends who are Astrid and Koji. They're so much more than that, my lovers, my partners in all I do. But they will forever be my best friends too. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;">Now! What this post is REALLY about (omg, I type so much...) I was on the gal Discord and made a new friend named Abby! He's super nice and is helping me with some makeup products I should get for gyaru. I am a disaster and have been doing everything wrong, which I now know. </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">(。•́︿•̀。)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Here's a bit of what I'm getting from the store! I needed something that didn't cost a lot of money, mainly because while good makeup can be pricey, I don't want to spend a lot on something that doesn't work...

Yes, for some, it's a wild fashion. But that's part of the fun! You may be worried what people will think, but do you really care? Sadly, people will judge others no matter.

I found that a game I've heard of, Perfect World, has a Brazilian server. I actually found that out by joining their Discord without knowing and seeing a bunch of words I didn't understand - but also some that I did, which FELT GREAT.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So I'll be rolling a charrie on there and learning Portuguese as I play. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">How are you?

I have really been loving daily status type posts, like little diary entries. <b><a href="http://georgiepiyo.blogspot.com/">Georgie</a></b> does them a lot and they feel like little letters from a friend! I really love her style of blogging. 😄</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I don't have AWESOME gyaru pics to share yet or personal pics to share at all, because I've been slacking...

All I can say is that I work from home and handle tickets for a game I love!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Oh! I also started using <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/kawadaangela/">Facebook</a></b> again. I stopped using Facebook when I stopped having friends... It's hard to make friends in your 30s. But also because of all the political drama. However, some of my favorite gals are on there and even a FABULOUS gal group. (For those who don't know, gal is a gyaru term!) So, there I am. I'm hoping I'll make some friends, be inspired, promote my blog and just chill there and enjoy my time. 😌</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm gonna go blog read before work!

Amazing. You can browse a list of psychologists and choose who you'd like to meet with. All of them are lovely and I'm so grateful that they offer their experience and time! The psychologist I chose is super sweet and SO helpful. I told her how much I was struggling and she not only helped me, she helped me... Help myself. At the end of our last session, when I thanked her so so much, she told me that in reality, I gave myself all of the answers that I needed. She just packaged them in a way that would be clearer to me. I felt really empowered and also thankful, because I need that re-packaging SO much.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, one thing I am starting is writing a to-do list in my bullet journal every night before bed. This way, I can sleep soundly without all of my to-do's running through my head AND I wake up feeling productive and ready to go!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When the week starts, I will also call my Doctor and set up my sleep study. I reallyyyy don't want to do this sleep study but my narcolepsy is affecting every area of my life, including work. So it's something that I <i>need </i>to do.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Finally, I will start confronting my worries. Instead of dwelling on what hasn't even happened and may not happen, I will face my worries head on. I'll ask how everything is (such as asking my boss how I am doing, asking my loan company if I can lower the payments, etc.)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've realized that a h u g e source of anxiety for me is this... Not knowing and not addressing what I don't know.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Oh and finally finally, I will focus on self-care. Something I have noticed is that when my nails haven't been painted or I haven't had long nails in a while, it's a sign that I'm mentally and/or physically feeling very <i>blah</i>. So, I'll start small and do my nails and let that uplift me!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is a little post about my health and I hope you enjoyed reading and maybe I've inspired you to get started on your own goals! Take care of yourselves, all of you.

Well, minus a panic attack. I made my bullet journal May calendar spread and my May habit trackers last night, wished Ástrid and Koji a happy May at midnight, wished my co-workers a happy May at the start of my shift and went outside to take pretty pictures of flowers this afternoon. Flores, in Portugu</span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">ês!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I love making little goal lists, so I thought I'd do one for May. I'm curious about something, what kind of blog layouts do you prefer to see? Pictures that are solo for easy pinning or group pictures that are a layout as if they're in a magazine? I love both, so I'm torn on which to do for my blog. Give me your thoughts!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Here are my goals... </b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">🌸 <b>Blog a LOT more!</b> I miss blogging so much. So, how do I fix that? Blog more, of course! I took my bullet journal and just started writing down post inspiration and SO much came to me. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">🌸<b> Do more light exercise! </b>I say light because my ankle is still swollen, but my Doctor even told me to try working for about an hour, so I can finally get exercise in again. I'm putting together my fitness wishlist, so expect that soon!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">🌸 <b>Participate in Mermay!</b> My drawing isn't anything special, but I feel like I can do so much more after watching Koji draw. Of course, he's a professional artist and he does make drawing look SO easy, but still! The fact is, whether my skill is good or bad, I love being creative and that's what counts!<br /><br />🌸 <b>Clean... a LOT!</b> Okay, so this is often on my goal list. I'm messy, okay? I also have ADHD and have an incredibly hard time getting started cleaning, focusing on cleaning and finishing this and pretty much anything else. Mix that with OCD and cleaning is <i>hard</i>. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">🌸 <b>Take better care of my skin!</b> I have rosacea and right now it's manageable, but there's times when I get a flare up and I really struggle. So, this month, I want to take the best care of my skin that I can!<br /><br />🌸<b> Be more spiritual! </b>I haven't connected very well with my spiritual side lately, until recently when I found a new matron Goddess, who I'll definitely talk about here soon! But I want to do that and so much more. I want to read my tarot, write in my grimoire, have Ástrid do a pendulum reading on me and so much more.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">🌸 <b>And as always, be the best wife, mommy and friend that I can be and help my little family be happy and healthy!</b> They are truly my everything! </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Alright friends, tell me, what are your May goals?! I can't wait to hear them! </b></span></span></p>Angela Kawada (Sukeban AK)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09168718575190165087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385929262752615209.post-51289233229553346402021-04-22T22:35:00.007+09:002021-04-22T22:36:38.611+09:00Meu Português - My Portuguese<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9N8X5lMKEqw-1gQoBTtnZuAPBZ-tA4GG1BD5hpFNDJiovHyU3TFBZ9K66y4leU3CAqYe6KS2i32Us8hh0H5t3xNhHFEjazB-akQA6lPGf3uxVPzTGGNPU638yueTOwZkroKB8VfflUIl2/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Moving to Brazil Brasilian Flag" data-original-height="548" data-original-width="960" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9N8X5lMKEqw-1gQoBTtnZuAPBZ-tA4GG1BD5hpFNDJiovHyU3TFBZ9K66y4leU3CAqYe6KS2i32Us8hh0H5t3xNhHFEjazB-akQA6lPGf3uxVPzTGGNPU638yueTOwZkroKB8VfflUIl2/w640-h366/image.png" title="Moving to Brazil Brasilian Flag" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bom dia! <span style="color: #999999;">Good morning! </span>This post will be a mix of English and </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Português, but don't worry, I'll translate!

Well, Koji has family there and even lived there himself in the past. He told me all about Southern Brazil and it's beautiful and homey. It's also very open-minded!
