BLOG -- Recap of April

I got back home from work with about an hour before midnight, so... things haven't been the best. Only a handful of days were truly fun and relaxing (*daydreamy siiiigh*). Other times I'm just working. I've already worked the same amount of overtime this month as I did in the first three months of the year. It's getting kinda hard for me to hope that things will be better... I just... *siiiiigh*... @_____@

That's it for April. Here are a few pics I took this month plus a YouTube video.

My egg hunting haul from work.
The carrot intrigues me the most.

A chocolate pudding dessert laid out like a potted plant.
The dessert was yummy and cute.

What we played during our gaming session.

Tanto Cuore: Winter Romance expansion, or as I would call it:

Tanto Cuore: The Catfight edition, hahaha :3

The prank I played on my co-worker. I would have printed out more faces, 
but didn't want to use up so much ink!

"Kobito of the Shining Needle" arrangement from Active NEETs.
I really dig this tune, especially the piano parts!

Thanks for reading!

As usual, if you have any questions / comments about anything, feel free. :)

I am sorry for the long-ish hiatus. I did not think I'd be without my new computer for such a long time. I was trying to do my blog on International Fan Festival this past weekend, but things got really busy... but this weekend for sure! 


Take care and until next time!
