Living with humidity

⚠️Trigger warning: bugs I didn't know that so many things could go wrong when you live in a highly humid area. I probably shouldn't say I don't know, because I came from a town where it's highly humid—like, all the time. It has the worst kind of summer AND winter: not only is it usually at untolerable temperature, it's also humid, which amplifies how you feel in a very unpleasant way. I should've…

Life is just a bowl of cherries

Haven't been posted for a while because I'm in a transition period. And I got overwhelmed by all the things that demand my attention. Ever since the start of my new job 1 , I've been experiencing quite a lot of brain fry. But it doesn't not all come from work, although work should take the majority of the blame. It's just that way too many things had happened in a short span of time.…

三十路の色々

For those who think this post is in Japanese because of the title...I'm sorry. I'm going to write in Chinese. The title just pops into my head, and it fits. Life update: I'm no longer in between jobs ...which instigates my sudden desire to express.…

The dead fin whale on Oregon Coast

On February 9, I drove to the Sunset Beach to see a dead fin whale. I've always been fascinated by whales, so this was a rare opportunity to get close to an actual whale (since I haven't learned diving). Being with such a magnificent creature makes you feel awe. As I finally have the time to write a post about it, I wanted to check out the latest news about this whale. Because I'm curious about…

Recent life events and such

I'm going to babble a lot so bear with me. Not until few days ago, I started to feel the mysterious energy that only new year could bring. I've always been very slow at things, as if my senses are not in the same timeline with the physical progression of time and space. In Chinese we say “新年新气象” (≈ new year, new beginnings/fresh new look). And now 1/12 of a year has passed, I finally began to feel…

Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 - a top notch adaptation

Disclaimer: All media is used under fair use for commentary. They belong to their respective owners. No infringement intended. I’m sure many anime fans are hyped for Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. I’m seriously impressed too, especially by the stylish taste of background artwork and the insane quality of battle scenes. There are some scenes that made me feel the director went too far. For example, the…

Stranger Things 5 Bingo

Just want to quickly drop my bingo card before vol 2 release. I’ve been on Tumblr devouring all the theories after watching vol 1. 也在微博高强度冲浪。I’ll probably share more thoughts next year. I’m so thrilled! Merry Christmas 🎄 and Bylermas 💙💛

My wisdom tooth has its own brush 🪥

I’m in my 30s, and one of my upper wisdom tooth decided to announce its presence. About half a year ago, something protruded from the gum at the back of my mouth. I thought I had a canker sore. It was quite painful, but not painful enough to visit a dentist. I grabbed some OTC treatment, and started to apply it everyday. The numbing gel was helpful to ease the pain. But the “canker” didn’t go away…

一些矫揉造作

感觉自己还和六年前一样迷茫。心理上没有成长。活到现在还是没有活明白。还不懂自己心向何处。 想到这里有点感伤。 我知道我在工作以外的人格是什么。我有很多爱好。我喜欢动物。我喜欢看别人创造的故事,无论是看书、电影、或是漫画动画。我喜欢攀岩,几乎每周都会去岩馆和搭子一起讨论beta。我应该喜欢开车,喜欢在开车的时候放音乐。听播客或有声书的话我会睡着并失去开车的欲望。我去图书馆借我想读的书,每天早上配着手冲咖啡晨读。其实也并非每天早晨。 这样一想我拥有很多。拥有特权,拥有运气。 但还是止不住地哀伤…还有什么没被满足。我在吊唁什么呢? 我跟我最隐秘的愿望失联了。 总是瞻前顾后,害怕别人的评价。活得小心翼翼,实际上向往奔放的感觉。但又太在意外界的声音了,潜意识里在按照社会所期待的那样,过着标准的生活。 也许我不相信自己有背离社会轨道后,还有生存下去的能力。 我决定观看《完美的日子》( Perfect…

东亚流行语三则

记录一下最近在社媒、漫画和综艺里学到的几个新词。也算是跟上年轻人的脚步了。 ① キャパい (kyapai) 「キャパオーバー」的新型说法。「キャパオーバー」又是一种日式英语,是「キャパシティーオーバー」(over capacity)的缩写。用法上很像是「もう無理・限界」,可以用来表达正面或负面的情绪。 正面情绪例: 推しが尊すぎてキャパい!(我推太尊太超过了!) 感叹一个人很厉害,或者是被自推萌到当机(哈哈哈)。 负面情绪例: 睡眠が足りてなくてきゃぱい。(睡眠不足要不行了。) 就跟美国职场上说自己 "at capacity" 差不多,表示超过自己的承受极限了。感觉是现代人的生活过于复杂,每个人都有做不完的事,就总得发明个新词来表达一下“受不了”的心情。 ② エグい / えぐいて (egui / eguite)…
