Heyy, so I do have very good news, I got a fantastic(and well paying) job offer!!! The results came out on the 19th. Words can't describe how relieved and happy I am feeling, I won't have to spend the next 6-7 months slaving away in that godawful rat-race for a job. I can finally take it easy. Also my internship got extended by another 4 months!! like things have fallen in place so quickly I can't believe it. Can't believe this is my life right now, don't think I of all people deserves it but i'll take it. Hopefully I am able to make good use of all that work experience to get admission in a top college for my Masters(fingers crossed).
Your well wishes worked like a charm!

Damn those are some deep insights I have gained from you. Given this some thought, haven't you? I guess watching all that romance anime does come in handy eh?
Jokes aside that's a beautiful way to look at it. Honestly don't think I'm qualified enough to add anything meaningful to your thesis lol. Like you've said this is an important life decision and people shouldn't intervene and pressurize others. Lmao you're acting as if you're much older, we're not that far in age are we? Honestly, school feels so long back.

Ahh that's a great question! Damn I wish I'd seen more Ghibli movies so I could answer this better. Probably the little boy's mom in Ponyo? She seemed like a nice person(also drives like an absolute badass). Or maybe Totoro, your friendly neighborhood forest spirit.

Trust me that's one of the lesser wild things I've found myself saying out loud lmao. I feel once you get older you can't really appreciate the seasons for what they are unless you go on vacations. It's been a good while since I've had instant noodles tbf, but I can totally understand that feeling.

Oh you don't have to worry because not once in my life have I not been a dumbass. Aw thank you so much, I accept this honor with the utmost gratitude.

I just couldn't stop watching. It made me actually laugh out loud every damn episode. No not really. 51 in 3 days, that's 17 per day. One anime episode bar the OP,ED theme is about 21 mins long. 17*21, that's 357 minutes or just under 6 hours a day. Ohh I finished Haikyuu in a breeze too, matches were so edge-of-your-seat engaging, you could'nt possibly peel your eyes away. There's this other sports anime called the Major series you should check out if you find the time. Even I have not finished it completely(It's 8 or 9 seasons of 26 episodes and I've only seen like 3). I've noticed in general I only watch sports anime for sports I don't really follow or care about irl. It feels weird and disorienting otherwise. Like I couldn't watch Blue Lock at all. Although, there's an exception to this which was Baby Steps(its anime about tennis) because it was more about the characters development and not just the sport he's playing. You should check it out sometime, its one of those rare sports-romance anime. Trust me I'll be watching FMAB sooner than later.

I think I've gotten a bit in the anime-watching groove now, I watched this one called 'Wasteful Life of School Girls', just yesterday. I'm planning to watch some more, now that some of my responsibilities have been lifted haha. Tysm for your caring kind words. Well chatting with you is a lot of fun for me, so the pleasure is all mine.

Hell yeah, Sugita is my GOAT, my hero. I have a lot of respect for that man. Oh the premise of that seems interesting, I'll be watching that one don't you worry. Never mind that anime, even if they re-released Boku no Pico as a 26 episode series, I'd still watch the hell out of it if Sugita was starring in it.

I think its a sort of morbid fascination with Dark History for me. There are a few YT channels which I follow which do these deep-dives into the lives of these Dictators or other nefarious people, for example what kind of childhood they had, what ideas shaped their beliefs, what were said beliefs, how did they get to power, how did they stay in power and eventually what caused their downfall. I've watched a TON of WW1/WW2/Cold War documentaries, all the important events and how they fit into the grand scheme of things. I think a very important aspect of history that the average person doesn't realize about it is perspective. Different countries or hell even different cities may have very different accounts and perceptions of the same events. I think I'll stop here or I might end up going on and on lmao.

Oh my godd you work for THE Reigen Arataka? The Greatest Psyhic? The legend himself? my oh my I'm honored. Fret not O Gifted one, I wouldn't dare breathe a word to another soul. Please keep doing the great work you're doing!

Honestly you should just drop it, not worth sitting through the slop. Just read the ending and be done with it haha

Happy Holidays to you too!! If we don't talk again in 2024, A very Happy New Year in advance!! May you accomplish all that you set your mind to!

Hello there, hope you're doing well on this fine day!

Oh no no, that's so unfair. Such assholes those guys. I'm pretty sure you have a strong ground to go to HR for that. They have absolutely no right to ask stuff like that. Women really have it much harder in the workspace. It's a common denominator in almost all Asian societies I've now realized, this weird obsession people have with getting the people they know married and having kids asap is getting out of hand. Like I'm 21 and I've already been pestered by more than a few relatives about it. I can't imagine how bad it must be for you. Like this bs is one of the smaller reasons why I'm going for my Masters, it allows me to put this off. If they ask me about marriage I can just say, "Well I'm still a student so, don't have the time for that".

Lmao that's a good one. You should try something like "Have you booked an old age nursery home yet? There's no way your children would want you around with an attitude like that."

Thank you!! I'm sure the remainder of my internship will go very well now that I have your blessing. I'll be graduating in Aug-Sept next year.

No worries, luv. I'm actually trying for a few international internships after my current one gets over. So hopefully maybe I'll get one in Australia(fingers crossed).
you live in the Sea???!?!? Am I talking to Ponyo right now?? Jokes aside, winter isn't all that tbh, I think summer is so much better. The lesser clothes you have to wear the better(wait that sounded very wrong). But I think we can all agree that rainy season is the worst. The only good thing about it is playing football in the rain.

You know the old Japanese slapstick saying which says 'Idiots never catch a cold'. My secret is that I'm too much of a dumbass haha. I fell a lot too, but I've never broken a bone yet.

You're quite tenacious, aren't ya? You said you'd drop it like almost halfway through and you finished it! I honestly could never do that. I've done you one better there, I had finished Gintama S2(51 episodes) in under 3 days. It was so so much fun, I was laughing my ass off every episode. That reminds me I have to get around to watching FMAB too!

Yeah I think you might have a point there. Also my commute to work is really long. Like more than 3 hrs of traveling to and fro. But also it's not like I'm so committed or so hard working that I can't find the time at all. I still have nearly 2 hrs of free time everyday. I think I just might have fallen out of love with that kind of entertainment. Gotta rekindle that passion again haha. Haven't watched any Kdramas either. The last one I watched was called Good Bad Mother I believe? Wish they would make more Kdramas like Stranger, I fucking loved that.

Honestly I don't think any of the recent anime do it for me. I just don't feel the urge to watch them. To think there used to be a time I used to watch 8-10 in a season haha. I might get around to One Piece again(or the new season of Bleach). There used to be a time I'd wait a whole year in anticipation, I'd get excited looking at a season's anime lineup. I'll try giving Dandadan a go. Maybe if a top anime comes out with Tomokazu Sugita as the lead I'll be excited again.

I especially love those deep dives into dictators or WW2 or older civilizations! I also watch a lot of football tactical breakdown videos. Omg are you a psychic!! I was actually planning to watch re-watch Gintama in its entirety again! Yesterday I got the first opening of Gintama randomly recommended on my YT front page, so I thought I'll check it out for old time sakes. I kid you not, I got teary-eyed watching an anime opening! So I decided I have to re-watch it.

Hmm It's been a while so you'll have to pardon my memory. I think I really liked the starting few episodes where they're still in school. I don't really remember it too well but It got kinda cumbersome in the middle. I remember being annoyed by the ML. The ending is really wholesome tho. It was a bit surprising cause like most high school romances end by the final year of school, but this one goes WAAY beyond that. So yeah, it starts and ends well but as a whole the anime could be much better.

Ciao bella, looking forward to your reply!

Heyyy, glad to hear back!

Thank you so so much for your well wishes! I'm actually enjoying it a lot, my experience has been smooth sailing so far. There was only one minor challenge I had in the beginning and that was making small talk and communicating casually with older people(like people in their 40s and older) because there is such a massive generational disconnect. In the office workspace there is such a varied profile of people. Its not like school or university where you sit with people your age and position. But I did come up with a fine solution to that problem(you can note this for future reference too!), which is to- talk about their family! (especially their children). Oh my, they absolutely love it!

Ah no no, I'm NOT actually from Australia lmao (neither am I living there), I just said that cause..I don't know why I said that haha. I just thought that was an interesting contrast most people are not aware of. I have a bad habit of saying random trivial stuff. So yeah I did get sick in the winter. Talking about getting sick, I don't think I got sick as a kid, almost never.

Yeah I do know Boys Over Flowers, but never got around to watching it. 2010!! Damn that's so long back,I wasn't even born then lmao. That does happen doesn't it? Our tastes are constantly evolving, sometimes even from year to year, hell even week to week. Personally I've never been a fan of those drama intensive polygon romances tbh, I don't think I have a palate for that at all. Only romances I've ever liked are light hearted or easy going ones.

You know lately I cant sit and watch any series at all, no matter how good they are (unless its a sitcom, but still I struggle with more than a few episodes). It's like I have lost the mental strength for it. Just the though of sitting through it tires me. So many top top tier shows of different genres like Shogun, The Bear, Penguin and Severance, I've ended up dropping them all after 1 or 2 episodes. I tried watching Monster a few days back, I fucking loved it so much and yet I can't get myself to get back to it.
I still enjoy movies but can't watch anything longer than 1.5 hrs or 2hrs maximum and I still have to watch it in two sittings. I've been watching history documentaries and video essays tho, I kinda enjoy them more. Is this what being old feels like T_T

Aww thats so sweet of you, thank you so much, I don't think I'm deserving of such honest praise. The fact you'd say such kind words about a simpleton like me reflects so much about you.I just love talking to the few people I've met and befriended here and thats probably why I'll keep coming back again and again. Ahh honestly I don't think about all that stuff anymore. I mean who cares who replied last and who didn't. We're all gonna die one day, might as well make the most of the time we have. I just love this conversation and I wish for it continue, there's nothing more to it.

Ciao for now, I've got a lot of water drinking to do haha

Ah it's not a problem.
Oh really, what's it about? What genre is it?
The pleasure's all mine. I'm doing great. I'm finally working now, got an internship this sem! What's been up with you?

Hey you don't have to apologize for it, it's cool. I can see where you're coming from tbf haha. But still you don't have to overthink it so much.

Did you know Australia has summer season right now, pretty crazy to think about innit? Ohh you were a bit late with your warning luv, already got sick here lmao. I'm alright now so you don't have to worry. Don't worry mom I will take extra care of my health from now on haha.

Heya, how are ya doing lately? I haven't been on here for a while so I thought I'll drop by and say hi to an old friend :)
what's been up?

Ah well, what can I say. I'm a man of my word(lmao). Of course I'd wish you on your birthday!!

Oh that's totally fine.No problemo. I'd absolutely love to talk again but I wouldn't want it to be at your expense. So please feel free to take your time and sort your stuff out. There's no hurry at all. I've still got a good 90-95 years left on earth, ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

Well my day got better already :)
