Fixed the Issue

Fixed the issue on why the “About Me” page would load ok on a laptop browser, but not on a phone browser. Yes, the IT nerd me had to come out and do debugging. Copied the content bit by bit to find the problem. Turned out it was the ‘at’ symbol. Whether it is used by itself or in a…

The Saddest Song Ever

I thought I had written before why I thought “Shadow of Love” is the saddest song ever. Seems not. So, here goes… There are so many sad songs out there, a good number on break ups and the aftermath, but this one is on longing. The longing to be with someone, to have someone to hold on to. My previous…

Lost Heart

Omg. I think I have found another (powerful) sad song. I’ve listened to it quite a few times, but I guess I never really paid close attention to it. The tune is nice as many Yebles will attest to. It’s handsome oppa boss Yesung’s “Corazón Perdido (Lost Heart)”. I have no idea why, but today I really LISTENED to it…

Because Pretty Things Don’t Last

Was listening to Olivia Lufkin’s songs, the inspi’ REIRA ones in particular. I’ve always said “Shadow of Love” is the saddest song ever, but really, all the inspi’ REIRA songs have a tinge of sadness to them even if they sound more rock. I guess they truly fit the character of Serizawa Reira and Olivia brings out the character really…

Diaryland Nostalgia

Omg…I received this in my email box. Seems like they made improvements to their service and even offer daily writing prompts. Cool. But no way am I going back there. I like having my own domain and full control of my own site. Lol. Proof that I have been writing since way back then… I will always love writing.

My Mind as a Room

Not sure why I didn’t post this here earlier but I asked ChatGPT what my mind looked like as a room and it gave me this answer. Not sure I like my room to be so dark, but it definitely looks cosy. One thing though, ChatGPT is right. I like to think about things. Things that are complex, which may…

Light Side, Dark Side

I mentioned earlier in my Sakihokoru thoughts post about how I see myself as being in that middle ground between light and dark. May I complicate things a bit more by saying that there are two sides of me. The light side of me loves pink, pastel-ly colours and cute things like My Melody. The dark side of me loves…

ChatGPT Dear Me

Dear Me, I know you’re trying—more than most people realize. Even on the days when it feels like you’re standing still, you’re still showing up, still pushing through in quiet ways that matter. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. It’s okay to grow slowly, to change your mind, to rest when things feel heavy. Not every…

Dealing with Death

In just a span of a week, I have to deal with two deaths and one death anniversary. Today, I say goodbye to Alison. Her son was Kaitlin’s preschool classmate. Life can be really cruel and unpredictable, but she chose to face it positively even when the odds were against her. She was so helpful and sweet when I was…

Sakihokoru Thoughts Part II

I can’t remember if Yesung asked fans if we saw ourselves in the light or in the dark. Whether he asked or not, I gave it some thought. Rather than absolutely say without a doubt that I’m in the light or dark, I see myself as in the middle. The middle between light and dark is the comfort zone and…
