- stumble yourself around like a child getting lost - someone would come to you and guide you to your seat
- pretend to understand what the waiter is saying about the payment (just maybe, he said something about paying at the register or using QR code with your credit card???)
- make the waiter hesitate a bit by your lack of response and wait for him to leave you
- quickly go through the menu before another waiter/waitress come to take your order
- enjoy the vain superiority of your A2-4 seat
- the fine dining-ish atmosphere makes you tense but at least Shimotsuki Haruka isn't here to tell you to interact with each other
- CRAP CRAP CRAP your throat is acting up again and is about to push out another coughing fit. you sip the non-alcohol ENcore (the collab drink) but not too much because you want to take another picture of it with the food
- speaking of which, the food sure takes a long time - oh here it is along with the payment QR code
- the percussionist, the pianist, the violinist, and the main guest of the night, Yanagi Nagi, arrives and grace the audience of the hall with her presence
- oops, it's now a bit dark to take a picture of your food and drink but you took it anyway
- you listened to the performance, and realize that in terms of music, there is no way to see the end of its possibilities
- seeing Yanagi Nagi singing and playing guitar by herself …

My company gave me a 5 days of disaster paid leave and I need to spend it by the end of next month. But since we have a minimum work hours policy, if I were to use all my leave next month I would've need to do at least 40 hours overtime. And that's why I ended up using three days leave for the rest of the week.
My cold isn't getting any better since last weekend. The temperature change is CRAZY. One day I was still sweating but just a few days later I couldn't even drink tap water without hurting my throat.
It seems I will be spending the remaining of the week getting a lot of bed rest.

Last night I had some kind of weird existensial crisis which almost led me to book a bus ticket to Fukuoka for today, but it didn't happen. I was talking with a few friends and they were surprisingly very supportive during the episode, and I feel bad for not being able to appreciate them enough.
Well the dread is still lingering, and my right wrist is preventing me to continue learning this piano piece. Perhaps this is a good time to get back to my visual novel backlog.
I bought a mouse for left hand and it was almost the perfect mirror copy of what I was using.
One of the friend who was with me last night used to work as a pharmacist, and when I told her the loxoprofen patch I put on my wrist only feels good for the first couple hours, she said that it's normal and doesn't affect the effectiveness and I should not change it 5 times a day like the grandma she reprimanded in the past.
Aaand oops, probably shouldn't type more for now lol.

If you read this, that means I deployed this new blog successfully.
There were some things I'd like to post between this date and my last entry on dreamwidth (2024-09-19) and so I will update those posts retroactively.
Thank you for stopping by.

web frontend is such a wild different beast and i respect everyone that deals with it on a daily basis. i wasted hours trying to load data on init with angular to no luck.
by the way, i think i'm getting better at making aglio olio spaghetti. i strive for over 90% of successful cooked spaghetti rate now.

already more or less settled in new place. i love the room despite the awkward corners and spaces. the neighborhood is also nice though i couldn't visit most of the shops (they either sell alcohol, patronized by too many people, too pricey etc).
got nothing to do besides self-study though lol. the anxiety of eventually learning that i'm useless will haunt me for a few months, i guess.

lots of clothing, too many skincares. minimalist my foot lol. i'm trying to make my luggage as light as possible but it's just hard for me to not worry about clothing and skincares.

watched Anime Supremacy (ハケンアニメ！）which was a part of JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL ONLINE 2024 lineup. it was an awesome story about a budding director who aims to surpass the director she looks up to. i only vaguely knew about how there are so much put into a media work, but this really grounded it to me that anime is the culmination of everyone involved in their own ways.
(oh my god i really love the protagonist, she's super cute)

beat Sumatra: Fate of Yandi earlier today. while the gameplay and plot wasn't mindblowing, it was fascinating to explore the jungle while speculating about the mythical orang pendek and seeing lots of cute Sumatran animals along the way (sadly no rhino). that one very short encounter with the orangutan will remained with me for a while.

went to peskom bandung today and splurged so much on so many awesome indonesian comics!! i might've spent more than i did on comifuro last month. will edit later for photos of both comifuro and peskom bandung loots.
edit: forgot to put pic but whatever. was really disappointed to find out that one of these artists worked for pizza hut and many were supporting him.
