Well... hi! I have once again been gone.... life has just been rough, I've been getting back to some really unhealthy habits (which I won't go in detail for). I haven't had the energy to do anything but go to uni (mechanically atp), bedrot and doomscroll.
Last week was nice though. I got some pretty cool pics from uni (which are up in my gallery page). We goofed off during one of our lectures since the prof wasn't there. Meow.
On Tuesday I had to do a side quest to my boyfriend's faculty to deliver his charger to him, since he forgot it over at my place. It was a nice change of pace honestly. A bit of a break in my dull routine. Saturday was the most fun though. We went to a cute little cafe who had these really nice looking eclaires... the eclaire was okay. A bit dry to be honest? But it was still nice. Also - my eyeliner was super cute haha
Afterwards we went to the National Art Gallery. I didn't take many pics of the paintings but I really liked this one.
It's by Olga Wisinger-Florian and it's called "Swallows Among Blossoming Apple Branches". It's oil on wood which is cool. I really like oil paintings - the way the oil paint has this unique raised texture and the fact that you can see the brush stroke is all just... I don't know, I just really like it.
After the gallery we went and had lunch at Happy and then just went around some of the main streets, wandering. I finally caved and got a cross-stitch kit - I had been wondering if I should try it out, since one of my friends from uni and I talked about our hobbies and she said it's really nice, and also my mom used to cross stitch tapestries when I was younger... When I spotted a cute little Pusheen cross stitch kit it was over for me. So far I have finished one of the three patterns and I do plan on taking the one I am currently working on to lectures today to have something to do when it gets boring (and one of the lectures I have today is reeeally boring)
(I got the pic of the kit from google, I don't feel like getting up to go get the box and take a pic of it haha... also excuse the dull colors, I am writing this at 2am so the lighting is bad). (and yes this does mean I now have to make a cross-stitch section in my creations page....oops)
On Monday my boyfriend and I went to the mall to pick up a cake for his birthday party (which will be on Saturday) which was nice. Aaaand that is because it is his birthday today (the 2nd of April) :D which means I can get him presents without him being able to say no >:3 (he always tells me to not spend money on him but now he can't refuse mwahaha. he shall be gifted and loved and he can't say nothing about it.)
Oh also while at the mall I got us this really yummy (but messy) pişmaniye and pomegranate dubai style chocolate. I didn't get pics of it intact though oops haha...
What else has happened... ummm... My boyfriend and I started going to the gym, which has been nice. Building muscle to open the heavy ass door of my uni's main building :P BUUUT the best part about it has been the gym cats. There are 2 cuties that come and go from time to time. They have a bed and bowls for food and water. And they just... they chill. There is this tabby and white one and also a brown tabby who I haven't taken a pic of yet
Oh oh! I don't think I have mentioned it but every Saturday some of my friends come over and we play Pathfinder and then my boyfriend and I usually end up driving them back to their dorms. This time we decided to take a different route to stop by this whack ass monument of architecture that is in town.
Just look at it!!!
If you made it this far here is a little treat - some pretty flowers I see daily on my way to the tram and back.

Hii! Wow, I haven't made a blog post in a few weeks and I also haven't been uploading my tamalog much recently either.
I apologize for that, but honestly truth is that even existing has been too tiring and I just haven't had any spare energy to hop on here and yap about my day/week/whatever.
A little TLDR of the past few weeks is uhhh...
Well, Not much interesting actually happend at the end of February. I guess me and my boyfriend went home on the 28th, which was really nice. I finally got to test out my vinyl player which was super fucking cool. Unfortunately I did not take a pic of it haha, but it is the Audio Technica at-lp60xbt with some Edifier r1700bt speakers. I also got a haircut, and while I do not feel comfy sharing a pic of myself, you can see that I changed the little avatar on my About page.
Being home for the weekend went by really quick, mostly because like... the two days I spent out and about with my mom, making up for lost quality time for the 2 months I had not been home and the nights were spent visiting family haha. One night with mine, one night with my boyfriend's.
And then I was back at uni again on tuesday... same shit everyday tbh, I don't know what to tell you haha. I mean, I guess I did get to meet the prof I have for my psychology lectures. She is cool, reminds me a lot of my old philosophy teacher. She told us to draw like... the best person in our eyes. So I drew my boyfriend haha... Mostly because he is genuienly the most like... intelligent (both in the regular sense and emotionally) person and.. yeah, i dunno, sometimes I wish I was more like him.
Pleeeassse don't judge my drawing skills haha, I hadn't drawn him before this and it is also like, not my usual style T~T
On Friday I went out with some friends who I hadn't seen in AAAAGES and we went to an art bazaar, which was super cool. I got a bag made out of a retro vinyl. We also went to a really nice cafe and I had a matcha latte. And then in the evening my boyfriend and I ended up hanging out with ANOTHER friend we hadn't seen in ages and I took a very cool pic of a cool cathedral in my city (oops hahaaa, you now know where I liveee hahaaaa... for uni at least).
On the 8th my boyfriend took me on a date to the zoo, which was suuuper cool. I will probably post the pictures in the gallery or like after all of the text for the post, since there are... a lot.
....actually.... I will Go Against something I said earlier and I will post a fit picture because it was super cute and Also shows off the vinyl bag.... This will probably the only time I post a pic of myself here though haha, I would prefer staying anonymous and mysterious.
After the zoo we went to one of the many malls and he got me a Pompompurin plush from Miniso. He is So Silly. (This statement can apply to both Purin and my bf, so take that as you will).
Anyways uhhhh Yeah. Nothing much happened on Sunday/Monday/Today. I mean, we went out with some of my colleagues on Sunday but that was like... lowkey boring haha.... I don't really get along with one of the people that was there much and uhhh yeah.
Here are the pics from the zoo hihi
I will also probably post these in my Gallery with (hopefully) better formatting soon!

Sooo... a bunch has happened this past week I suppose. My lectures started back up again, but honestly we didn't really do much studying this first week - mostly getting back into the swing of things. I had to miss like 4 of my lectures - professors were either out of town for conferences, sick or had sick children. We also got our themes for our Eastern philosophy course work, whicch... man am I NOT excited to work on that.
I hung out with a friend on Thursday, since it was their bday. It was nice - I hadn't seen them in a hot minute, so it was good to catch up. We chatted and fed the pigeons in the subway. (Hi Kaeee if you see this :3) Then we (my boyfriend and I) had some friends over for board games on Friday evening and then again on Saturday - it was very fun, especially since I hadn't seen them in a minute as well (exams and all)!
Saturday afternoon my boyfriend and I went to an art bazaar at a local community center - the place is really cozy with great vibes and I discovered some really cool artists (as well as seeing some artists I already knew)
Honkai and Dungeon meshi stuff is from eldoinart on insta, the clay keychains (along with the two stickers next to them) are from hangedfinch and the rest of the keychains are from spherical.artist.42.
You might be wondering why I have not shared who the cat stickers are from and why the name of the person who made the poems zine is scribbled out... well it is because 1. I don't want people supporting them and 2. I don't want people sending hate their way. That is because they stole a part of a poem I wrote.
Basically I considered this person one of my closest friends for aages. We used to share our poetry with eachother ALL the time. And well, while I haven't shared much poetry here (I will get around to it, but I do need to sort the page for it first) there is a character that appears very frequently in it - Wolf. Wolf is basically a metaphor or a foil of myself and how I feel. Once upon a time, aages ago I wrote a poem, which while I can not share (since I only have it written down in a journal back in my hometown) I can quote - "I used to be hunted, I used to be prey" it said. And well, this person who I considered a friend, which I will call S wrote a poetry featuring one of their frequent characters, a tree (I forgot what type of tree, but that does not matter) and my Wolf. A part of the poem goes "As I hear you say / We don't have to be hunted / We don't have to be pray". And at the time I was really like flattered that a close friend of mine would be nice enough to feature Wolf in a poem of theirs, as to me poetry is an outlet for my soul and the words I can't just freely express to someone.
S then went on to write another poem featuring Wolf. This was, again ages ago - think 2 or 3 years. I was again, flattered.
Now, years pass. Let's say - October/November last year until now. S and I have not talked as much, which is alright because life is busy, they also have uni to worry about, but despite all I do still consider them a close friend. You see, we had been online friends for the longest time but now since I had to move for uni we were in the same town. I was pretty happy about this, thinking I could see them more frequently. Well. That didn't happen, I only saw them once - at an art bazaar I went to in October. I was really happy to see them nontheless, and also did not think anything of it - life is busy, and it is not like I had seen some of my other closest friends more frequently either.
Honestly, something should have sparked in me when they didn't wish me a happy birthday, but honestly I was a bit overoccupied with work to notice who had and who had not said anything on my "special day".
Anyways. Last Saturday comes around. I had been super hype to go to this art bazaar since I had missed the winter one, due to being back in my hometown. I was excited to get some cool art, to see my friend and to see some artists who would not be making their return next time and to meet new ones who had joined the roster of artists engaged in the community center. Well, all was well - I got some cool stickers, I got some cool keychains, I got a cool print of Laika (Who never fails to make me feel bittersweet) and I got a poem zine my friend had printed out (which I did not know they had done this). Then I come home. I read the zine and see that they had published the two poems featuring Wolf.
And they had the nerve to reply that that was a different character. That the poems had a different meaning. When one of them literally has direct lines from a poem I WROTE! (I do plan on confronting them for this when I get my hands on my original poem. I will ask them to remove both poems featuring the Wolf, even if they do claim that it is a different character - the similarities are too many, especially considering the stolen lines. If they wish to keep those poems they must change the similarities and remove the lines at once.)
And well... When they said the poems have different meanings it just. I don't know. Something broke, or snapped, or a light bulb went off (more like exploded) in my head, and I realised that this person no longer gives a shit about me and had not done so in a long while.
And yeah, idk. I am working towards getting rid of stuff I got from them. The zine will be burned, or thrown away, or I might scratch out their user and leave it on a table somewhere in uni. (probably not the latter - they stole lines from a poem of mine, I do not want that getting spread around). I have given away one of the stickers and am wondering what to do with the other 2. I think I am probably going to keep the lucky cat one - it does not remind me of their art style at all, and well, I love calicos. But... the black kitty with the flames on the tail might have to go. It resembles their artstyle too much and while it does remind me of my dog (weird comparison, I know, But I have a fluffy black german spitz who acts like a cat, because he is a weirdo), it just... I don't know. I might shove the stickers in the back of a drawer for a while until I forget about this person. The Laika poster I will keep. I don't know how but it doesn't really remind me of S at all. And as I said, I love Laika.
But yeah. The poems zine will be getting destroyed in some fashion. I just can't bear to have it in my possesion and the idea of even one more of these things exsisting in the world, with lines stolen from a poem that was close and dear to me makes me angry.
I apologize for the rambly post and the lack of pics or anything, I am just... angry. Thanks for reading until the end, if anyone did. As a treat - here is a link to a poem I wrote in retaliation to everything S did. The page where I plan to post poems is not done in the slightest, but I want to share this.

Hii! I should have made this post yesterday but I had guests so I was too busy tidying up the house haha...
But uhhh... me and my boyfriend went on a cute little Valentine's day on Friday! He had a math exam the same day (which he passed with excellent results and maximum points) so we had even more reasons to celebrate! We went to the mall and just browsed the shops.
I got myself a cute little My Melody keychain (for which I do not have a pic of, sadge, but I'm honestly too lazy to snap one. Perhaps one day I will edit this blog post with a pic of her...) cause it was on clearance for some reason? There was literally nothing wrong with her and she is now hanging off of my laptop bag. We walked around a few more shops, mostly bookstores and such haha, looking for books we want to read and me for vinyls I might want to eventually add to my collection
Then me and my boyfriend went and got each other Lego sets - he got me the Orchid one (which is now proudly sitting on my kitchen table and reminding me of home, since I have a huuuge plant collection in my bedroom) (I'm surprised how accurate it is! From the way the stems are to the soil and the roots! Very neat). And I got him a 3in1 Creator set which he has been wanting (Because it is super cool. There is like a winged dragon, a water one and a sick phoenix which will sit next to my Poppy War trilogy,because he is also a fan of the books and also he doesn't want to take the set to his dorm in fear of something happening to it). So far we have built the water dragon and he built the winged dragon, but I don't have a pic of the latter (because he finished it while I was napping and I haven't had the chance to properly take a pic of it).
Then we ordered some food from an Italian restaurant in the mall (not actually authentic italian food, but it was still pretty good!) and while waiting we went to a cafe and got cake and a drink! He had a black velvet cake (so like, chocolate) and I got an eclaire raspberry one (raspberries are my most favourite fruit ever) and the drink is like a matcha ice latte with lychee (it was very yum, but I miiight be biased because I like pretty much anything matcha and/or lychee)
While waiting for the cakes I got a message that our food was ready so I went and grabbed it and then after we finished our cake we just went home to eat the food and build lego haha. As I said - the food was very good! We had some fancy chicken and a fried cauliflower salad with cashew and pomegranate seeds. We also ordered a four meats pizza which I was veery pleasantly surprised about. And turns out we got a free pizza! Which was a really nice surprise which made the day even better! And no - it wasn't on the tab, nor was the order messed up - it had our order number on the box!
We haven't tried it out yet, but we will when our friends come over today! I will update you on how it was later :D
On a more negative note - I am so so tired. My boyfriend's dad had to stay the night and catch a flight at 4 am.... so he stayed over and then we didn't sleep so we could drive him to the airport. Now, I don't have anything against his dad, do not take it this way... But I am tired! We spent all day yesterday cleaning! And today we have our friends coming over at 2 pm. to play board games and then his brother will also be sleeping over because he had some urgent business come up Monday morning for which he needs to be well rested for. And like.... I start lectures back up tommorow! I have 70 pages to read for Monday and Tuesday only! I haven't slept more than an Hour! I'm stressed out. Might crash out later, who knows. Like... I feel like a bomb on a very very short fuse rn. I hope that I sleep well tonight at least.
Sorry for ending on a negative note haha.... It's not as bad as it probably seems, I am just sleep deprived and sressed.
Well, I gotta go and start chipping away at the 70 pages of academic texts I have. Eastern philosophy might be the death of me (mostly because of the professor we have for our seminars...).
Bye bye! Hopefully I will be able to post about how today went soon!
12.02.25.
Hello! I've been gone for a minute, again! Thankfully my exam session has unofficially ended (it is technically until the 15th, but I don't have any exams left). I passed all of my exams!
With okay-ish grades (C,B,A). Ironically the one I was the most worried about I got the best grade in, but I think the proffesor just didn't want to deal with failing anyone. I only have one course work
left to write and well... it's not going that great. I have until the 15th to send it and just... ugh.
It's such an annoying and vague theme and it's for a course I really really don't like because somehow both the prof. at the lectures and the one for the seminars SUCK. I despise their way of teaching. One of them just mumbles under his nose (mind you, his lectures are in a big lecture hall) and says the same things over and over
(and to top off everything is word for word from the book he made us buy at the beginning of the year) while the seminars are just.... how do I explain. You go in with questions that never get answered and just get thrown back at you like 15 times.
On a more positive note! A few days ago my tama evolved into Pochitchi, who is a little yellow dog (I think you can notice a pattern in my favourites haha).
Here are some pics :P :
do excuse the state of my nails, exams stressed me out so I ended up going back to the habit of picking at my nail polish and nails...
As you might have seen from my microblog I ordered a Tamagotchi Uni from someone on the tamagotchi collectors discord. I'm still waiting for that to arrive (unpaintently might I add). I'm mostly nervous about the shipping, because I've never ordered like this directly from another person and well, I don't particularly trust my country's postal services (since they are notorious for their delivery speed.) I'm sure all is fine though, I assume it's customs that is slowing the whole process down. I'll make sure to post about it when it eventually arrives.
On another Tamagotchi related note I'm wondering if I should make a tama log (the idea is inspired by underkat and lorrin's island ) but I fear I won't have anything interesting to post, especially since right now I just want to see how long Pochitchi will live. I have to admit I have been neglecting him a bit this past week, because of exams and because my mom visited me for a few days... So I might or might not have let his hunger and happiness meters empty out a few times...
But hey, I haven't killed him yet, so! I can't be doing that bad.
I also got 3 more blind boxes (one was on a whim, the other 2 were as a treat for passing my exam. The magnet clip was bought last year.)...and well. I think the universe is telling me something. Just look for yourselves.
Like, I'm sorry but this is getting ridicilous! How is the only time I've gotten someone other than My Mel the one time I bought a box that didn't even have her as an option.
I'll go work on my course work now. I'll probably have 2 more blog posts this week since I do have some cool stuff planned (me and my boyfriend will be having a cute little date on valentine's. Nothing fancy, but that's not the point. We will be getting takeout and building legos haha. And then on Sunday some friends are coming over to play board games, which is something we have been looking forward to for an entire month.)
22.01.25.
I have been gone for a hot minute, hello!
That is entirely because I am cramming for my exams, since my exam session started a few days ago. My first out of two exams is on the 31st and then the next one is on the 9th of February... I have sooo much to study for both of them and meanwhile have to write two seven page course works (which means pulling two themes straight out of my ass because my professors can't teach for shit).
So.... yeah. Not doing so great at the moment. On a more positive note I have a few fun things to share! Nostalgia hit me like a brick so I ended up buying a Tamagotchi!
I think the shell I chose is really pretty. Tbh I was debating between this one and one from the angel series, but in the end I decided on this one. And honestly - I am glad. I think I wouldn't have enjoyed the mechanics of the angel one much (judging by the fact that a friend of mine got the one I was debating getting and her struggled with it). But who knows, I might get one of those in the future. I am debating on investing in a Tamagotchi Uni too, they look really fun. Buuut I have another big purchase planned already so, I gotta save my money (my boyfriend and I want to get the Slay the Spire boardgame since we both love the videogame)
So yeahh, enjoy more tamagotchi posting from me in the near future (if I survive exams) (And if the tamagochi survives my boyfriend borrowing it for his presentation on monitors next week (he is gonna use it as an example of an LCD display) (And yes I will be mad at him if he kills it because by that point I would have kept it alive for a week).
Another thing I bought on a whim is a Cinnamoroll blindbox! I saw them in Miniso and well, since the entire collection available is ONLY Cinnamoroll (aka one of my favourite sanrio characters) I decided to bite the bullet and get one (since the reason I usually avoid getting blindboxes is the chance to get a character I wouldn't have wanted and then like... not really enjoy displaying it as much)
Honestly even though I wass aiming for one of the secret options (not shown on picture as to not spoil for anyone haha), as is the goal of any blindbox honestly, I would have been happy with all of them, they are all so cute! (Although maybe I would have been a bit dissapointed with the one that is just his head on a plate)
In the end I got the "Steal a bite" one and it is now proudly displayed in the living room.
Sooo yeah. Not much interesting has happened (considering that me going to the mall to get my tamagotchi and buy the blindbox on a whim was the first time I have went out of my flat for 2 weeks)...
I guess I will see you in another week? Or perhaps I will have the time and reasons to update either this blog or my microblog more, who knows. Bye bye for now!
04.01.25.
Today was actually pretty great! I'm back in my flat after 2 weeks of being home for the holidays. It was a 3 hour drive, but it was chill - it was me and my boyfriend in the car (him driving, of course) and the highway was actually not that busy.
Sooo... today we decided to go on a date. We ended up going to a cafe we've been meaning to go to for a while. It's a corgi cafe - which means there were doggies there! :D
Here r some photos of the pups - their names are Lori and Siri:
It was really nice watching them just walk around and play. While we were putting away our food (since the cafe is self serve) one of them bumped into my leg - hefty little thing. At some point one of the patrons started throwing them a ball and they kept sliding after it which was really cute and funny.
The food was very nice too! ("For a vegan place" - my boyfriend) I had a burger and he had some club toast sandwiches. Both were good in my opinion even though the burger kind of fell apart by the end (and the fact that the toast sandwiches had avocado. I don't like avocado)
We also had some coffee - he had a regular latte (with the cutest latte art!) and I had an oreo frappe. Honestly the drinks were nothing special, but we liked them nonetheless.
(No photo of my drink because it wasn't that interesting visually)
After that we went to the mall where we had some froyo. We went around the bookshops looking for Heavenly Tyrant (Iron Widow's sequel/Xiran Jay Zhao's newest book) but alas I think we will have to wait a while for it to reach our country. I got a CD of one of my favourite bands though - Trench by Twenty One Pilots. I've been collecting their albums recently... so far I have Vessel, Trench and Clancy and I am really hoping to find Scaled and icy and Blurryface soon. Unfortunately I don't think I will ever get my hands on a Regional at best CD aand I am not sure if Self titled even had CDs.
I also got a new mouse for my laptop. The logitech M240 - it is small and comfortable and also silent. It is basically my previous mouse but silent which is really nice.
We ended up going to Miniso where I got a Sanrio frige magnet/clip blind box... And I told myself I would never fall into the gambling pitfall of blind boxes (Though this is my first and most likely last one, lol :P) I was hoping to get Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin or Pochacco (he was the chase), but I got My Melody - I don't mind though! She is very cute!
After we came back home (read - my flat) we tested out the potato ricer we got a few weeks ago (we had been eyeing it for a while and debating whether we should get it and honestly it ended up being a very good, useful purchase) and had mashed potatoes for dinner :3
Unfortunately I now have to study for my sociology test that is on Monday... And I was hoping to fix my sleep schedule... (I am writing this at 2am on the 5th...)
