Catching Up With a Currently Post

 Iced coffee with ice cream and cookies

Hello, friends! It's been... a while! My blog is constantly on my mind, though, and so are all of you. How have you been? What're you doing and loving currently? I hope you share with me in the comments or do your own currently post and let me know!

I've been SUPER busy with work. One is report moderation but that's all I can say as I'm under NDA and the other is being a Discord Moderator for Healthy Gamer! It's a lot of fun and the community is really interesting. Both are work from home, as is my third upcoming (hopefully!) job. I'm so excited and I'll share when / if I can!

I've been consuming loads of iced coffee to get me through both my hours and this dreadful heat. When it's dawn and night, I love the temperature. It's warm yet there's that slight chill in the air that is just... Comfortable. But in the day? It's sweltering. Thank Gods for AC!

July is also my birthday month, woo woo! I'm turning 32!

Oh and... I updated my blog header! I used a favorite physical washi tape of mine that is Japanese themed and turned it into a PNG and did this pretty header style. I LOVE IT and I'm so proud of myself! I can't wait to upload more washi tape PNGs to use for blogging.

Alright, let's get this Currently post started!

🎮 Playing: Swords of Legends Online! I have a feeling this will become my second favorite or even favorite MMORPG. It's already so popular, but that's not the point, the point is that it's SO much fun and I love my character already and all I've played is the beta! Though I did get to max level. The game's full release is on July 9th and the three of us, Astrid, Koji and I, have already reserved our names.

I have also been playing loads of Shinobi Striker. OMG, this game is SO much fun! I'm a huge Naruto fan and I also love fighting games, so when I saw that this game was on sale on Steam for $4.99, I HAD TO GRAB IT! I've already hit level 10 and I chose my first VR trainer as Madara.

📺 Watching: Nurarihyon no Mago, which Koji recommended to me because I LOVE yokai and the Yakuza. It's really good and when Rikuo is in his yokai form, he's a total badass AND he has white hair.

I'm also watching Naruto (wow, what a surprise) and am starting Dragon Ball Z! I've actually never watched DBZ (shame) but I really want to, especially after Koji bought the Dragon Balls for the apartment! They're in the bedroom and they look so cool. I love the meaning behind them! I have a loooot of episodes to watch of both Naruto and DBZ.

I've also been watching a TON of bullet journal inspiration vids on YouTube. I'm not going to list them here, because I'm actually going to highlight some of my favorite bujo vloggers in a separate post. Just know that that is coming!  

Something I love is that bujo vloggers often have other vids that are inspirational too, like Claudia Joseph's "Morning Routine To Help You Less Anxious During The Day"! I've started following her advice and waking up early and it's made such a HUGE difference in how I feel. 

Finally, I made a friend from work named Savannah and she is SO cool and a lover of true crime, so she's gotten me hooked on listening to true crime stories on YouTube while I work. I especially love any that come out of Japan.

🎧 Listening: I've really been into Japanese, Korean and Chinese pop while working and also all female Japanese rock bands! Some of my favorites from each country are LiSA (Japan), FINLANDS (Japan), Red Velvet (Korea), BLACKPINK (Korea) and SING (China)!

I'm really only into Korean girl groups, so that's what I focus on and I've actually found two new groups that I really enjoy and they're Everglow and Aespa! Give them a listen!

📚 Reading: Nothing right now. Boring, I know! I'm planning on reading a novel about a man who's a dragon and has been asleep for 500 years... But I need either Koji or I to remember the name! In the meantime, I might read some other dragon cultivation novels just to sate my thirst for dragon-y goodness. 

💪 Working on: My bullet journal! I am working on this so hard. I've been collecting washi tape, stickers, markers and so much more for my bujo. In fact, for my birthday, Astrid bought me my first actual A5 journal from Notebook Therapy! I'm so excited. This is the one I picked:

I'm also working on being more zen. Having a morning routine, especially because of my narcolepsy. I have a certain number of reports I need to do for work per hour and narcolepsy can really really bring down my number. So I'm trying to wake up earlier, so that I can be fully awake while I work instead of waking up right as I start. I also just want more time to do my journaling, gaming and exercising!

Obviously, I am also working on my little blog! I love this space. I miss this space. I constantly think about and plan posts for this space. ♥ So I'll put more effort into being present here, especially now that I love my theme.

😊 Loving: Astrid, Koji and our babies • good friends • nice managers and co-workers • inspirational vloggers • Slime ASMR • ASMR in general, especially if it's about being in the spa or getting ready for a Victorian ball • ambient music vids on YouTube • Dragon Blood incense • planning on buying Yerba Mate tea so I can have the traditional Southern Brazilian drink • iced coffee • icey Coca-Cola • 7-11 taquitos • feeling more like myself • and so much more!
