What Are You Happy About Today?

  • Yesterday was kind of rough because I was feeling exhausted and achy and pretty crappy after the two vaccinations I got the previous day. But I feel a lot better today, completely back to normal :)
  • I slept really good
  • It’s raining today , I love rainy days ☔
  • Mustachio gets so excited in the mornings when I ask her if she wants her breakfast (wet food) she’s so adorable 😊
  • Today there’s a wreath making event thing I’m going to so that should be fun! :)
 
i'm very slowly starting to learn how to do side by side videos on lightworks 💕 💖 🤷‍♂️cause there's side by side videos i want to do with it... & that has to do with the slayers anime episodes 🤗

i'm starting with next ep 6 💖 it's a little tricky, though ...


edit at 10:03 pm: only one episode downloaded (both sub & dub) & done so far & it's going well now already 💖 🤗

I might have more to post later, but right now I’m happy about a couple things.

I saw there is Neko Atsume 2. I never completed the first one (partly because I forgot to back the more completed file before I removed it from my phone and when I redownloaded it later I had to start from scratch. I downloaded it and noticed they had updated it a lot. More cute wallpapers to download for the phone, the items get worn out & destroyed now, etc. I can take photos of my cats vertically now too.

I think this is a new toy; I never seen this animation before; it’s so cute 🥰. I also like the dog in the background lol.

I saw they have official merchandise too. I already gave my mom my christmas list but seeing they sell overseas, I’ll definitely want to get some later. The cat butt acrylic standee is so silly 😂.

I just have some more shading to do with my first part of my secret santa art and then I should be done unless i want to add onto it. I’m really happy with how it looks. :D

I started a sketch for my second idea. I’m not sure if the idea is going to work at all and it is too early to tell, but am going to still try it :D



That’s it for now 🙂

I finished Raven, Sakuya, and Sofia’s romance events in Rune Factory 3 Special, and with that I’m done with RF3S!! I’ll definitely come back to my main file casually in the future (I will literally start to miss Shara and Ondorus if I don’t LOL), but I’m content to call it good there for now!

I received more lovely birthday messages today!! ;w;

Got caught up with SolidarityGaming’s fourth Wild Life episode with my family this evening!
 
Today (technically yesterday) has been another great one for me! 🎉

November 21, 2024
  • Work went good yet again and I was able to build up my confidence again on a particular skill. Since we weren't so busy, I got to go home early as a result!
  • I decided to go to the mall for a little while and I somehow ended up meeting my mother and sister there! We ate some food after buying a few things that we needed. 😋
  • I played Gran Turismo 7 and tried out five new cars that got added in the latest update! One surprisingly disappointed me in terms of its handling and one just absolutely blew me away in terms of its inclusion in the first place. New engine swap options and wheels have been added, but I haven't got around to fully enjoy them yet. This is gonna get pretty lengthy, so feel free to skip the rest of this point.
The 2018 Suzuki Jimny Sierra JC joined the roster. I wouldn't mind its inclusion if it weren't for a fact that a different variant already exists in the game which was added waaaaaaay back earlier this year. At least it already comes with an option to engine swap it which significantly gives it a boost in power. I have a better chance of spotting one in the Philippines since Suzuki in general is non-existent here in Canada.

Secondly, we got a 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth joining the roster. It's a successor to the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth which is also in the game (and me being lucky to spot one in real life somehow hahaha) and I love how its rear wing retains a similar design. Will I be lucky again to see one in person? 👀

Like, look at it!

Concept cars in the Gran Turismo series isn't anything new. The 2023 Porsche Mission X is a full electric vehicle and uh, the way it drives is surprisingly disappointing turning like a boat and taking forever to slow down in time for a corner. The online time trial featuring this car definitely didn't give it a good impression. Anyways, it's supposed to be a successor to the Porsche 918 Spyder which @/xSuperMario64x and I were blessed to see earlier in the year lol.

However, one small detail I noticed is that there's a small drawing of a cheetah on the side of the Mission X. It's quite fitting considering they can both travel at fast speeds!

Still pretty early since there's potential for the world record to improve, but my time is good enough for gold. Patience is key to achieving the target!

Another addition from the German brand, the 2020 Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) also makes an appearance! I have a better chance of spotting this car in real life out of the others in this update, so if I do manage to see one, I'll let you guys know!

This fifth and final car in the update is an absolute highlight for me. Don't be fooled by the appearance of this 1955 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R, for it is actually a Formula 1 car from the 50s! 🤯 It won five out of six races during the 1955 season of Formula 1, so the W 196 R deserves a lot of recognition which was driven by Juan Manuel Fangio. It's hard to see from this photo, but the seat looks pretty comfy for a racing machine lol. Though, it does NOT have seatbelts or any safety features whatsoever.

I can't believe it. I never would've expected that there would be not one, not two, but three classic Formula 1 cars in the game simultaneously from their respective decades. The W 196 R joining alongside the 1965 Honda RA272 (left) and the 1988 McLaren MP4/4 is amazing to me. 🥺

While I was taking the W 196 R out for a drive, I noticed that the gauges were reflecting my racing helmet. Since I still dig my helmet design a lot, it hits me so much just barely seeing Pag-asa and his friends. 🥹

  • I'm off from work tomorrow (technically today lol)!

I got to sleep earlier last night and managed to sleep for 10 hours. I really needed the rest.

Today was a busy day, but a good one. We went to Barnes & Noble for my husband to pick up a new book. I tagged along to look for some Christmas gifts. I ended up picking out a few things for my aunt and my father-in-law. I also saw some neat ideas for my youngest niece and nephew, but couldn't decide on what to get yet. My husband was very sweet, carrying everything around that I picked out and telling me to go rest in the car while he waited in line to pay because I was pretty exhausted by then.

Then we went grocery shopping and grabbed a few things for Thanksgiving. We're providing tamagoyaki, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, apple pie and ice cream. I might still pick up a veggie like corn, peas, or potatoes but we'll see.

I've spent the evening relaxing, watching TV, taking a shower, and I'm about to play a game before heading to bed.
 
- Successfully handed in my notice and worked out my leaving date yesterday. I'm actually happy about it because I'll be able to work the Christmas period (leaving on 24th December) so will get full pay for December, and because my new job has a Christmas break, I won't start until into January! Basically this means I'll get a 9 day break over the holidays 😊

- Another sunny (but cold) morning.

- Had a good night's rest last night, managed to sleep approx 7 hours. Been struggling with sleep recently so it was nice
 
- I've started Christmas shopping already cause I don't wanna leave it till the last minute. Most of the gifts I buy are for my partner cause we exchange lots at Christmas but I also gotta get a few gifts for family members

- I got the My Sims cozy bundle for the switch. It looks pretty laid back and I'm excited

- me and my mom will be mailing out a bunch of Christmas cards we made. I've been taking her to a card making group so now we have like 20 cards to give away
 
I usually only get Thanksgiving day and the days before and after off but for some reason I just have the entire week off for Thanksgiving break this year. Not complaining tho lol. Just gotta sit through a couple more classes and I'll be free.
I AM FREE

Today had been pretty good 🙂.

I’ve been enjoying playing Neko Atsume again and I also started playing this bunny game that I think @Xara has mentioned before.

I really love the artwork; Yuki reminds me of the snow bunny collectible!

I’m still thinking about the neko atsume merch. There are some really cute acrylic keychains I want in addition to the silly standee that I saw. 👀

The question is which one do I want? They’re all so cute 😭

My second drawing is going well too! I felt a bit daunted again after I drew in the shapes. When I started my other drawing, I felt the same way, thinking how are these shapes going to flesh out 😅. But I got something drawn in, colored and shaded :D. I’m really happy with how it looks.

Jewels was silly a bit ago. I filled her water bowl that I have on part of the stairs and when I was walking by her she stood up on her back legs and tried to reach out for the bowl. She has done this a couple times before since she gets excited when I fill up her water bowl. I got some snuggles from both her and Spanky.

I’m excited about the Mario Party sessions. It’s on one of the days I’m hosting Among Us, but I think there shouldn’t be any problems with doing both. I just hope my connection during Mario Party is good 🤞. I haven’t tried playing it online yet.

That’s it for now! 🙂
 
I tidied up my gaming shelf today!! It was looking... pretty rough lol—I had games stacked on top of the games that were actually organized, another stack of games sitting awkwardly on top of some books on my other bookshelf, and two collector’s edition boxes that couldn’t fit. But I rearranged some things, moved my music CDs to another shelf, and I actually managed to get all my games and box sets to fit neatly onto the one shelf! Barely, but they all fit!! ;w; And I think I’ve even got room for like one or two more games too before this becomes a problem again LMAO

ALSO the Diamond Clan Pokémon TCG set I got a little while ago came in clutch for reorganizing today, and I’m now using the card binder it came with to store my Animal Crossing Amiibo cards!! Maybe not exactly its intended function lol, but I don’t think I'd ever collect enough Pokémon TCG cards to fill it... my collection is pretty Specific asdjkdlfgdsdk

My parents and I watched some Youtube together this evening, and we got to see one of SmallishBeans’ recent Hermitcraft episodes! We’ve been trying so hard to keep up with Wild Life, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Hermitcraft! ^^

I asked for a Victoria sponge cake for my birthday party this year, but my mom’s never made one, so she baked a tiny one tonight as a test?? So I got extra cake early??? it was super good and it's probably a top contender for my favorite cake now, so I’m v excited for the bigger one tomorrow LOL

I had a lot of fun playing in the Among Us session tonight, and FROGGY HAT GET!!! 🐸 I literally just talked about froggy hats in Among Us in one of my time capsule letters; I cannot believe it happened so soon after lmao honestly both the new cosmicubes are extremely hype!! I was also able to get the cyclops doggy to put on my head!!
