July Already? Time to Update My 2025 BLUEprint

Half the year’s already gone?! Back in March Already? Time to Share My 2025 BLUEprint,I said that 2025 is about Money & Outlier. To recap: (If you want the full breakdown, check that post.) So — six months later, how’s it going? Money: green. Honestly, it’s not something I think about every day, but since it only needs regular check-ins, even a lazy person like me can handle it.Right now, the idea of buying a Switch 2 is keeping me motivated to save. lol Outlier: also green. Lately, I’ve been really into getting my hands dirty — building mobile apps, experimenting with Python libraries… and slowly picking up the skills…

Masterpieces (Lyrics Only)

Masterpieces (Lyrics Only)

Here’s another set of lyrics I just had to write down— I randomly woke up early this morning, and while hanging up laundry, this melody popped into my head.I haven’t produced the track yet (DTM takes time!), but the sound and vibe are already pretty clear in my mind. So for now, I’m just posting the lyrics here to make sure they don’t get lost. “Masterpieces” (Working Title) [Verse 1]   Masterpieces never fadeEven if they hurt what you hold dearWhen the story leaves you coldLet me take your hand  To the waking world [Chorus 1] Break the gemPanta rheiBreak the candle glass Let us rise and glowIn the silent…

A Big Announcement About My Pizza Preferences

A Big Announcement About My Pizza Preferences

Ah, this might cause some chaos, but… I like pineapple pizza. Aaaaahhh, I finally said it ~~~~!!!!!!🍍🍕🍍🍕🍍🍕 I know, I know. There are plenty of people out there who want to say, “Don’t put sweet stuff on pizza!”“Fruit? On a pizza?? Are you serious??” (Like, come on. There are dessert pizzas out there. I think we can all survive a little pineapple.) And then there’s this game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2263010/Pineapple_on_pizza How dare they! First of all — stop it with the stereotypical warm and cheerful island vibes. It’s not even Hawaii! Also, the origin of pineapple pizza has nothing to do with Hawaii.

Expo 2025 Osaka #2 - Food & Seating Guide!

*Note: This is a recap of my visit to Expo 2025 Osaka on June 7! This time, let’s talk about where to eat and where to sit. Before anything else: Now then, let’s dive in! Pavilion Restaurants & Cafés There seem to be two types: So — if you’re just hungry and need food now, aim for the second type. To tell the difference: look closely at what the line is actually for.There’s always a staff member holding a sign at the end of the line, so ask them if there’s a separate line for the restaurant/café. Also, watch out: sometimes what looks like a restaurant turns out to be…

Bubblegum Dance #1: What Is It?

Next Article: Bubblegum Dance #2 – The Iconic AQUA! (+Ava Max & the Barbie Movie) → A simple definition of Bubblegum Dance Bubblegum Dance is a subgenre of Eurodance that flourished between roughly 1995 and 2005. Imagine taking Eurodance and throwing 1,000 gumballs at it — bouncing all over the place, bursting with toy-like energy and hyper-catchy hooks. On the surface, it might sound like music for kids: playful melodies, simple lyrics, and fantastical, colorful worlds. But underneath, you’ll often find layers of wild irony, innuendo, and a whole lot of “wait, did they just say that?!” moments. And the wildest part? These songs were made with complete seriousness —…

Traitor (Lyrics Only) – just jotting this down before I forget it!

Traitor (Lyrics Only)

This is one of those lyrics that just hit me out of nowhere after waking up too early. The melody and beat are still floating around in my head, but I haven’t put them into shape yet. I’m sharing it here as-is, just to let it exist somewhere. I might turn it into a song eventually—hopefully one that captures the tension between staying connected with others and disappearing into your own creative world. For now, I’m calling it: “Traitor”. “Traitor” (Working Title) [Rap] WhooI have no time to share‘Cause ideas burst outI’m in deep focus nowInto the vibrant world nowI’m that type of creatorI’m a solo creatorSometimes you might feel…

My Law Degree Made It Hard to Write Villains?

This isn’t a complaint, just a funny story I want to share. Sometimes, when I’m creating a story, I feel like my personality and background kind of get in the way.Yes — the truth is: I’m bad at writing villains! Well, it’s probably more about my personality, with my background simply adding to the problem. I’ve thought about why, and I think it boils down to two things: Both are pretty simple. 1. I was a very well-behaved child, especially in elementary school. Sure, I was oddly lazy and easily bored (traits that have only grown stronger over time), but apart from that, I think I was a pretty decent…
