I got a pretty looking blue pet fish.
I named him Gabriel. |
"And I couldn't possibly wish for a better reason to live than to put a smile on the face of the sky's most beautiful star." Even in the darkest times, who could possibly hold back a smile (and lots of tears!!) after hearing this, and after such a hard day? It made me so very happy. 😊

Today's lesson! It was held by a prof I had three years ago or so in a different course and was part of the commission that let me graduate, and that I really appreciate for how passionate and knowledgeable he is. I couldn't even see him again because I was following online and he didn't turn on his pc's webcam but the voice alone made me smile. ♥
|
To be honest, the fact I didn't attend classes at uni today. I was planning to go, but something came up with transportation and I ended up staying home. It turned out to be a good thing because I haven't recovered completely from my infection and I need to be as healthy as possible to sit my Linguistics mid-term next Thursday.
|
The lilac tree in my garden is absolutely stunning and it's hard not to smile whenever I see it. :)

and don't worry, it's not a late response, it was raining literally all day yesterday lol |
I'm smiling because my partner has this psychic ability to know exactly when I need cute animal videos to cheer me up, before I even say anything! So now my heart is melting over adorable puppy and owl videos hahaha
Also smiling at the view of Fairy's beautiful lilac tree!! <33 |
I really like looking at photos of retail store photos from the 80's/90's. I wasn't even alive yet in those decades, but find it neat. Some of the layouts of familiar stores are unrecognizable.

it gives me nostalgia to find pics of what retail stores looked like when i was a kid |

Finally seeing a specialist, who is nice! And hopefully getting a condition I have under control.
|
Gonna detail a dream I woke up from this morning:
Spoiler:
And I just couldn’t resist sitting up and smiling. Dogs, selfless people, incredible technology, and ice cream?! What’s not to love about that? Awesome way to start my morning, even if it is a little bittersweet cause I still miss my Tuckerpuppy a lot. :’) |

Was wrapping up what I was doing in Ultra Moon this morning. Decided to do a couple Ultra Wormhole runs.
Caught 3 shinies in a row lol (Barbaracle, Swellow, Abomasnow) ^.^ Kept going after that and caught another shiny Abomasnow a bit later and then much later a shiny Crustle. Didn't really intend to do this most of/all the day, but 5 shinies in 1 day ain't bad at all lol |
Today's the National Census and the census people got here late enough not to wake me up with the doorbell, and early enough to let me take a siesta. :D
...also, today's update for Pokemon Xenoverse. I still haven't seen the Apollo Tournament opponents for myself but I'm just holding out. |
WJSN's stage on Queendom 2 earlier today. It was so good, especially the acrobatics. And the beginning too with the lighting effects.
|
"Summer dress" at works means they're more lax about the dress code.
|
Applying Stoicism to my life, making me realize just how little I can control, and, as a result, how little I should really have get to me.
|
REALLY HAPPY FOR A FRIEND'S ACHIEVEMENTS!!!
|
Tested negative after being in contact with someone who caught covid.
|
Sleep wasn't bad!
|
my new phone arrived today!

Finding the time to read a Tyrion and Arya chapter before starting my day.

Lmao, my dad just texting me the phrase: "Pikachu is a hola card."
Like, dad, there is so much I need to explain to you once I'm done laughing. |
I just noticed while looking at my flair that I've been on PC for 3 years now! I wasn't all that active at first, but I'm glad I came back to enjoy it with all of you!
|
My Steam Deck has been dispatched aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-*inhales*
Hoping it'll arrive by Wednesday so I can play around with it over the Jubilee Bank Holiday. It's coming via DPD so there is a fairly good chance of this happening! |

Seeing some progress in the way I feel physically and mentally after turning around some of my unhealthier habits, in just a week - as well as realizing that my newfound healthy habits haven't become compulsive yet, as it often happens to me. Just an overall sense of balance.
...also, the fact that it's nearly winter in this side of the world and that we'll likely get some extremely rare snow in the next few weeks. And that I'll get to go out tomorrow to check out a new gas stove. |
I just had a great day. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_

Screaming my lungs off past 1 AM |
New Escabio ScaVio trailer tomorrow, and today's hangout being extremely productive! I bought a lot of winter clothing - which, given the time I usually attend school on Thursday, I'm gonna need.
|
A really friendly outdoor cat I met on a walk
|
This was yesterday but my manager being understanding. She really went out of her way to help me.
|
Going back to Twitter to look for ScaVio fanart and then realizing I'm better off without it. I've had this feeling for a while now, but every day something new comes up that further validates that feeling. I'm so glad I left the site and all these toxic people behind.
That said, I'm also glad that Miraidon is kinda growing on me after giving the trailer a few hours. I'll love it even more if the rumours about it being Dragon/Electric are true because I just looooove Electric-types in general! |
I won 5 chess games in a row, and hit a new highest rating. I'm almost in the top 20% of players now for the website.
Spoiler:
I was playing on a real board last week. A rook was missing so we used a checkers piece as a substitute. For some reason I felt that this made it very hard to calculate, and my opponent ended up saying the same thing. |
CONGRATS!!!
|
Catching two shiny Zubats and a shiny Cricketot.
And I caught a shiny Alpha Lopunny last night lol Legends just has shinies everywhere rofl |
Finally got an update about my soccer team!
|
I was going through drawers looking for supplies and found a spoon I used as a baby, my mom tucked it all these years as a keepsake.
Also it's really pretty outside, gardenia, roses, hibisus, peaches growing on the trees, lavender everywhere. |
Was able to draw something and sort of wiggle myself out of artblock, which is nice
|
Got my second raise of the year!
I'm beating you, inflation! |
My new PC arrived today and I'm going on a concert. Today can't be better.
|
Got a neat okra plant for my dad as a father's day gift to place on his burial plot, as he loved gardening.
Spoiler:
|
The tteokbokki chips I ordered arrived today! :D
|
Solstice!
|
Just chatting with my friends, given the fact that I haven't eaten anything pretty much all day. x.x
|
Riki sending me more photos of their wedding.
|
So far? I would say being able to get some story stuff done for once. I haven't been able to for a while due to writer's block lately. It's such a relief to finally be able to get back to it again... let me tell you. ;w;
|
A sheep and a goat came up to our fence today and they let me pet them :pleaplup:
|
Nothing so far lately except seiing the posts in this thread. :)
|
A very stressful videocall at work that turned out extremely well!
|
A cousin finished chemo treatment. Hopefully things keep improving for him from here on.
|
Realizing there was a button for individual thread statistics. (even though it's in a really obscure spot). I love viewing stuff like this.
|
I've had the house to myself today, and I can't describe what peace and joy it brings me to play the music I love on the speakers, quietly go about my chores with a light heart, cook myself a meal, and sit down to write with the winter sun streaming in. Oh sweet serenity!
|
I'm happy that today is my 18th PC anniversary! <3 I'm now a full-fledged PC adult. XD
Spoiler:
|
Happy to see a great Sylveon friend is doing well and has returned!

People being nice to one another 😊

The fact I'm finally done with Linguistics I for the term. Yes, I still have the final exam to go through, but that's in August or later.
There were other things (like having medical insurance at last and buying the earrings I wanted) but this was the highlight of the day. |
My friends and my boyfriend. <3 I've been feeling really done today, and I also almost had a meltdown. I love my friends & bf so much. <3
|
Happy to see I am close to start writing interviews for Pokécommunity Daily!
And with great friends' support! |
And today ? Happy because I just received the 11th (and final ?) book of my detective story top favourite series!
|
Mother Nature
|
Receiving Fairy's art for Daily's "Interview with Fairy the Sylveon"! Gorgeous!
And seeing two deserving persons join the admins! I'm so happy! |
Friends getting a well deserved promotion!
|
I was promoted but more importantly got my degree results in and did better than I was expecting to do so am over the moon w/ that :woop:
|
Seeing user Inky get promoted.
|
The newest promotions to Admins and just seeing the positivity around them here.
...also, the fact I'm recovering and could be back on my feet soon. My winter break is just too short to spend it bedridden, and I'm aching to play PIU again. |
My bestie so far. He's really weird and comical, but we always have a great time together. <3
|
Booting up BotW for inspiration and remembering what a beautiful game it is. <3 Empty yes, and it sure has its faults, but gosh, I do love the atmosphere.
|
Honestly just woke up in a good mood. :)
|
Honestly am THRILLED to see an interview a friendly Gardevoir has been cooking up feature in Daily! And it was genuinely sooo fun to read!
|
I beat Super Punch Out for the SNES. (Using the Switch Online Service). Very proud of this. My reflexes are mediocre, so it took lots of persistence.
https://i.imgur.com/wMUghay.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ah2twCB.jpg Not the greatest record, but honestly just happy I managed to finish this. I didn't even use any save states. |
Actually taking some productive steps today.
|
Absolutely delicious creamy chicken curry for dinner tonight, a homemade treat from Mum 😍😊
|
I had a problem with an art project of sorts, evidently Mr Super Clear changed the formula on their sealant, and it didn't react well to my customisation, but fortunately a knowledgeable user on another forum talked me through how to rescue my work with some wetsanding and a magic eraser. The day was saved, it's looks okay :)
|
Dopamine rush from all the cool things my partner and I plan to buy in the near future to improve our QoL. One at a time though, bcs we're not exactly swimming in money right now.
|
All of the above ngl ❤
Also petting beautiful horses 😁 |
French fries and ice cream with my partner when she clocked out of work. Perhaps the one good thing to have happened today.
|
Just so, so much stuff today. Stuff I wanted and got, stuff I didn't know I needed.. many smiles have been had today. :)
|
Some good news from a friend and an unexpected promotion!
|
My and uncle came by today. It might seem like a little thing, but he recently had surgery, so it's great how he's feeling well enough to drive himself places now, and go back to work, and just live a normal life.
Also another thing that might seem mundane, but felt good was walking my dog, and not being able to stop him from racing up the stairs. He's an old dog, and I appreciate these moments. |
Really thrilled to see a friendly Gardevoir become a staff member!! :D
|
Really excited to be a part of the team, and to accompany Fairy in Meeting and Greeting!
|
Discovering Alakazam the Great from 1960 (the Japanese version). It's a fantastic movie on par with my favourite 2D Disney films now that I've seen it! Loved every minute!
|
Really, really happy to see an official image of John Wick Chapter 4!
|
super thick chocolate ice cream <3
