Today

 

こんにちは, oi and hello! Today is, so far, an absolutely lovely day... For the most part. Our stimulus came in and I'm using that for self-care and self-love, along with a few little gifts here and there and hopefully fixing my Switch. My poor Nintendo Switch died on me, RIGHT after I started working on my island. sigh I was so excited to see my bamboo grow and now it's a gamble, because my Animal Crossing island is saved on the Switch itself and not a card. :| Wish me luck!

And well, the other downside is our card is locked for fraud. Nothing even happened, but I guess the bank panicked because we were doing a lot of shopping and now everything is being reversed. ;.; I called them, was on hold for an hour, fixed the situation only to find out... It's not fixed yet. Ahhhh! 

But enough about that.

Let me talk more about this self-care and self-love journey I am on. I was browsing Etsy and came across Blessing Manifesting by Dominee. Now, Dominee doesn't even know me, so I'm not being paid to write this or anything like that. I'd love if she knew I existed, because even a few pages in and I am loving her rainbow aesthetic with bold colors and her writing style. But anyway! I may... have spent about $50 in her store. 

Here's what I bought! Magical Housekeeping & Decluttering because I reallyyyy have to do this and I feel so refreshed when we have a wonderful clean house! Self-Care Planner Witch Version, because I miss my Witchy self. I used to be so in-tune with myself. Self-care is also so very important. Self-Love Workbook because, just like self-care, self-love is deeply important and something I don't really struggle with but I do find it hard to find the time to "focus on it" and that's gotta stop! To be honest, a lot probably has to do with my ADHD. >.< But this will help me! Journey Through Journaling is next because I am finally keeping a bullet journal! I won't lie, it's very bare, haha. But I'm doing well and feel really inspired by Dominee's book. I just started reading and so far am just so impressed. I can't wait to read more and follow her prompts! 

Next we have Itty Bitty Hygge Workbook! I got this because I LOVE hygge and it's something that while I don't really need to "learn" more about, I love reading about and watching videos about. I find that, itself, hygge. So, I also got Body Love Gym Week One! I've been realllly inspired to exercise and eat better, but am still struggling with DOING that. This will help! If I manage to do week one, I'll get the rest of the weeks! I've been finding a lot of fitness and healthy living YouTubers, most if not all of them very down to Earth and treating their audience like friends. I love those kinds of bloggers and vloggers most. As for the last two, I got two add-ons for the Self-Love Workbook! Fitness and Blogging! I dearly miss my blog, but I've been having a hard time coming up with ideas and Dominee helps with that - a lot. I also want to keep track of my stats more! 

All of Dominee's workbooks and more are soooo affordable, most being between $5-$10 and you get them as PDFs, so for certain stuff or everything you can print and work on, put them in your journal or read them on your computer and get inspired. I'm actually buying a printer (...once the card is taken care of) so I can do so! I'm so excited!

Finally for this post... I GOT A JOB! I got an AMAZING work from home job for a huge gaming company. I don't need to be on the phones, either! It's something I can be proud of and do for long-term. It's a contract position, so if it's not long-term, it's at least my foot in the door for working for more gaming companies which is what I've wanted since 2004. Woo! Go me!

Thank you for reading friends! Tell me how you're doing! ^_^ 

A Very Busy Month

Hello, my friends, it's been a while! This month brought a BIG new change... I started my new job! It's telemarketing, which isn't my favorite thing in the world (I thought I'd be doing marketing not telemarketing.) It's work from home though, so I don't have to leave Koji, Ástrid and the babies behind every morning. ♡ My goals are still being either a community manager for an MMO, a social media manager for an awesome company or a chat support agent. I don't really want to receive or make calls, to be honest. I also would love to be a streamer and professional blogger. I even made Everything So Kawaii, a blog about... Well... Everything So Kawaii! I hope you'll read. It's just starting, so it's going a little slow but I have SO much inspiration for what to write.

I'm also going to make a Kawaii Discord Community, which I'll link here as well once it's made.

So, why am I working now, you might ask? Welllll... Koji, Ástrid and I want to move to Massachusetts and we want a house instead of an apartment! So OBVIOUSLY that's... A lot of money that we need. But, we need the room for ourselves and all of our babies. The babies being the main reason. Especially considering I really really want a doggo and Koji promised me one when we get a house. 😁

Also I have kind of a second job, which is being an Admin for our Conan server and Discord server. SO much goes into that and it's so rewarding. If being my Admin-y self could be my day job, I'd be one happy gamer girl.

I think that's all that's been going on, for the most part! Catch me up on what's going on in YOUR life! Let's talk! 

Koji's New Art Twitter!

HI EVERYONE! I am SO excited. Koji started his first art Twitter and has started taking commissions again! I'm so proud of him. This isn't his first time doing commissions but he's only drawn as a hobby for a while. I am hoping so hard that people will welcome him, support him and commission him. 😊 We're working on something really big, so I'm looking hard for a job and he's doing this and Ástrid is thinking of starting a leatherworking business! WOOT! Anyway, let me share some of Koji's artwork! If you're interested in commissioning him, e-mail him: lordcroweKK@gmail.com or message him on Twitter. He does game characters, real life people, DnD characters and so much more!

I wanted to include some WIPs to show off what he's working on right now! Eeee, I'm so excited. This is the start of something wonderful.

Today is My Darling Husband's Birthday!

 

No, my husband isn't a leopard gecko but he does love them! Today is Koji's birthday! Happy Birthday, my Darling! I can't imagine being with any other man, you're so perfect for Ástrid and I and all of our babies. You're handsome as fuck, cute, smart, sarcastic, tease me and also completely take care of me, are so nice to animals, make friends with everyone and truly make me the happiest wife alive. I hope you have the best birthday EVER and that all of your wishes come true. Forever yours, ~Angie. 

CURRENTLY - November 2020

こんにちは! Oi! Hello! I've been gone for a while. 😳 I've been spending a LOT of time on Age of Wushu, which I'll talk more about in a second, and talking to our friend Samantha. She was without a computer for a while so Koji, Ástrid and I couldn't talk to her but now she's BACK! I missed her. 😁 How are all of you? Tell me in the comments!

This is my first CURRENTLY post since I restarted my blog. I'm excited. I love writing these as a way to catch up with my friends. I hope you enjoy!

CURRENTLY... 

🎮 Playing: Age of Wushu, my absolute favorite MMO. Age of Wushu is an older Chinese MMO where, when you level up, you actually feel stronger. It's very rewarding and for an older game, it's very beautiful and quite popular. This is my character, Akayoru. 

Unlike most MMOs, there isn't a huge questing system and you don't level from experience. It's also very PvP heavy, which I LOVE. If you're a fan of wuxia and xianxia novels, I highly recommend giving Age of Wushu a try. I'll write a guide on the game later!

📺 Watching: Ástrid and I just started Super GALS! It's an anime about a gyaru living in Shibuya. It's really cute and it's very loved by most gals. 

I also plan on starting Tian Guan Ci Fu which is a wuxia anime with a danmei theme. Danmei is basically yaoi, which is basically "boy's love." But that isn't the main reason I watch that kind of genre, I actually really love wuxia if you couldn't tell and any anime based on that is GREAT. My favorite is Spirit Blade Mountain. 

📚 Reading: This AMAZING wuxia novel called Dual Cultivation. I'm trying to think of how to describe cultivation to non-wuxia readers... I guess the best way to describe is think of opening your chakras. I think most people know what that is and how to go about doing so. You meditate, you focus on them, you break through. That's SIMILAR to cultivation. There's also pills and herbs you can use to help you. In Dual Cultivation, the most popular way for people to cultivate is by having sex. It's a good sexy novel, and the main character reminds me so much of Koji so it's even better. 😁 

What is the point of wealth and status if there’s nobody to share it with? Dual Cultivation explores the sensual side of the Cultivation world that is often filled with solitude!

Su Yang was sentenced to life in prison within the Eternal Retribution Cliff, where only the universe’s most violent and evil criminals dwell.

His crime?

He seduced the Moon God’s wife, kidnapped the Dragon King’s sister, and even touched the Heavenly Emperor’s beloved daughter.

He later meets a mysterious old man who would help him escape prison by reincarnating him.

In his new life, Su Yang swears to reunite with his lovers and hold them in his embrace once again, all the while finding new ones along the way.

That's the summary. It's soooo good. I also have a few others waiting to be read, like My Vampire System and Birth of the Demonic Sword. Eeee!

💪 Working on: My Portuguese, of COURSE. I am FOREVER working on my Portuguese. I really wish I had a good Brazilian friend to help me. 😭 I'm also working on my makeup a lot, trying to get my own personal gyaru style down. I need to start working on exercising again too...

😊 Loving: Ástrid and Koji and our babies, friends who are more like sisters, anthro art, Coca-Cola, hand sanitizer, the fact that Christmas is coming and so much more!

Custom Piece: Vaella Elwynn drawn by Koji

こんにちは! Oi! Hello! I am SO excited! Koji surprised me by drawing my Conan character, Vaella Elwynn! She's the wife of Kael'eth (Koji) and Cynn (Ástrid), a Lightning Mage teaching at the academy, owner of Lexi the Island Lynx and a generally sweet High Elf. (Well... Sweet to other Elves.) 

I've been playing her since earlier this month and I'm having SO much fun with Koji and Ástrid and roleplaying in the college and beyond. I'm so proud of Koji's skills, he's an amazing artist! He drew my character, Ástrid's, his own and the three of us together too!

Here's Vaella! 

Didn't Koji do FANTASTIC?! Leave him some sweet comments below. He's the best husband ever and deserves all the love. 🥰
