Nothing Really Makes Me Happy Than Finding Out No One Has Used My Very Common Name As A Username For

today marks my second month in my new workplace and all i am is glad that i am where i am now in this season. ( ᵕ̤ ‧̫̮ ᵕ̤ )

one of the things i spent so much time, and really enjoyed working on during this entire penacony arc is the sticker book that comes with the dreamscape pass. i love collecting stickers, journalling, and making collages so of course i spent a good amount of time doing my best to collect the stickers for each page when time permits me, and whenever i don’t feel like finishing the backlogs (the number is a ridiculous amount as a somewhat casual hsr player) just so i can curate each page dutifully.

anyway, some of the pages aren’t complete with all the stickers yet, so have some that i’ve completed and truly like a lot!

i’ve only started the most recent trailblaze mission a few mights ago, but ended up falling asleep in the middle of the mission (T^T ) that said, my goal is to finish it before the week ends so i can once again check on my soc med accounts and not spoil myself about how things will unfold.

spent an awful lot of time playing animal crossing today that i almost missed my genshin dailies.

anyway, it'll be a while since i'll be able to indulge my time with games since i'm finally hired, and will keep a regular everyday schedule like the one i'm used to (๑･̑◡･̑๑)

i will miss taking my sweet time at home doing whatever i want, but i welcome this new season with openness - an open mind, an open heart, and being open to new learnings and experiences ★彡

(here's to a season of being mindful and present 🪴)

writing this under a cut because i might spoil it for those who haven’t finished the genshin summer event main story.

this whole limited story quest was a riot, and i find it so endearing (nerdy kind of endearing) that kaveh annotates when he reads even if it’s only for leisure (and i say i’m endeared because i do that sometimes, too, when something in the story or the page resonated with me greatly).

of course i like this quest a lot because once again, my best husband is the highlight of the story hihihi (ृ ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ृ )ु kaveh was my favourite in the quest, but my favourite scene in the entire side event is this:

i love chaotic tighnari a lot ¡¡¡( •̀ ᴗ •́ )و!!! just look at that smug smile.

perhaps i’m really biased towards kaveh, but i want—demand—him to participate in a summer patch because i feel like it just suits his creative nature, and being someone who practices design and art, it only makes sense that he’d find the time (and budget, i guess) to travel around and enrich his knowledge and appreciation even more. yes, i’m probably just biased, which is why i toured most of the simulanka realm with kaveh.

(also, i could’ve cropped the genshin watermark on the photos, but i guess that’s just for another time. i do wish they can do something about that since hsr has an option to hide the game’s logo when taking photos. that said, i do think that between the three current popular hyv games, genshin’s camera option is the most optimal since it captures the scenery the way you last framed it, where as with hsr and zzz, i’d take a few minutes to set up the scene i want to capture just to get the desired composition.)

this summer patch isn’t really something that i was super excited about compared to the previous summer patches, but i really liked how the simulanka world was designed, especially with the origami characters of the forest of blessings! actually, it’s because of the realm itself that i kept on coming back every time i log in because i just like going around there and taking photos. in spite of feeling nonchalant about this, i do feel that sadness i always feel after summer patches because even in games, i am bad with goodbyes (T^T )

natlan patch is tomorrow, and i can already see how busy my week will be as a hyv games enthusiast (not sure if i should be proud of it because gacha is another form of gambling, and i play genshin, hsr, and zzz so what does that make me, right?).

i have many things i'd consider my roman empire and a genshin event with itto visiting the nation of wisdom and meeting the sumeru crew is one of them.

who would win: itto versus the sumeru crew?

today i found myself feeling unusually productive in carrying out my task avoidance list: i decided to update my CV, create a skeleton for a website where i’ll post my art (original and fan art), muse about my online accounts and presence, and so this main blog just went through a mini-overhaul. sana ganito rin ako sa work, but i’m not gonna talk about that atm. even my overthinking at work has reached burnout levels, i don’t know how to recover swiftly from it.

and because i’m working on a website for my works now, i’ve decided to use my main blog for more personal posts! mostly when i have no time and energy to get my journal and when typing feels more convenient than writing. this’ll be an archive of sorts.

anyway, i know i’m not really obliged to explain the reasons for my doing things, but i’m just wired to do so, i guess?

I've added other types of blind box to the shop!! And the new ones are on sale for this weekend!!! we're so close guys, just €2000 more to go 🩷 thank you for your help reblogging and donating 🩷

the recent limited event in genshin reminds me a little bit of honkai's aetherium wars and man how i dislike aetherium wars with a passion (⊙︿⊙✿)

(still finishing aetherium wars over at honkai because i started late and i just want to work on my honkai backlogs (⊙︿⊙✿))
