Outings / Events in December:
- Hung out with friends overall x4.- Had a Board Game night at work. It was so much fun!
- I built and decorated a gingerbread house for a contest at work. It was my first time ever decorating a gingerbread house and I had some help from a few co-workers. My house won the contest!
- I had a "date" with myself on Christmas eve. A movie, lunch, and karaoke. It was really fun! XD
- Participated in a book exchange event at work. Participants buy and wrap a book they know nothing about and an exchange happens. I hope the book I received will be a good read! :)
- Participated in a Dirty Santa gift exchange at work. The first gift I picked was something I really wanted, but it was stolen from me, booo... Overall, it was fun.
- Karaoked by myself x1 (yes! My coughing is finally 99% gone!).
- Stayed over at my sister's place x0.
- Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn achievements / news:
-I've re-subbed and for quite a long period. I'm hoping this will encourage me to log in more often in the new year, since I do want to catch up!
Exposures:
- (Game): 20-Second Showdown -- This was really a fun game.- (Game): Forbidden Island -- This was also really fun and also stressful!
Finished...
Watching:
- (Movie): Knives Out -- This was a fun watch. Daniel Crag's accent was completely unexpected!- (Movie): Widows -- Very enjoyable.
- (Movie): Oldboy (original Korean version)-- Wow. Just wow. Not for the faint of heart!
- (Movie): Hereditary -- I started watching this not knowing what kind of horror movie it was. I silently cursed myself once I found out.
- (Movie - Anime): I Want to Eat Your Pancreas -- It was really good. I could really relate to the main guy character.
- (Movie - Anime): Psycho-Pass: The Movie -- I watched this after finishing Season 2. I'm just happy to see Kogami again. <3 <3 <3
- (Anime): Psycho-Pass (Season 2) -- Not as good as the first season, but still really good.
Playing:
- (PSP): Persona -- I played this on the easiest difficulty and I still played very cautiously. I gamed over a few times in the last dungeon before deciding to spend a day just level grinding. It's very different from the Persona 3/4/5 games, but I can really appreciate Persona 1. It's so interesting to see how the Persona series evolved! :)- (PSP): Half Minute Hero -- This was okay. I enjoyed Evil Lord 30 more than Hero 30. I said "Screw you" to beating Hero 3. The music was decent.
- (PS2): Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis -- I initially thought I'd be able to finish this in about 60 hours, after seeing how long it took me to play through a few chapters. Somehow I finished the game with over 100 hours clocked. Some improvements could have been made, but overall it was a really fun game. Roxis was my favourite.
- (PS4): Journey -- The first level made me feel so nauseous. After that, though, it was a visual experience. I actually journeyed with a couple random players, too.
- (PS4): Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon -- I played through one route. This was everything I loved and hated about the Castlevania games. Thank goodness there was a Casual difficulty where I didn't experience knockback after getting hit. I plan to play this a few more times in the new year.
- (PS4): Nights of Azure -- In the beginning it felt like a trudge. In the end, though, it was fun and enjoyable. I'll work on some of the post-game stuffs in the new year.
Reading:
- (Manga): Cat Diary: Yon & Mu by Junji Ito -- This is the most creepy yet hilarious manga I've read all year.

That's it for December. Here are some pics I took this month plus a YouTube video.
When I was building this I knew I wanted to do something a little different!
It's a stressful but fun game!
I will always remember you and your class! <3
Holy Alina from Magia Record. I, um, "whaled" for her... T____T
From my research (please correct me if I'm wrong), "Hungry Days" is an ad campaign
for Cup Noodles, and the campaign features various anime / manga characters.
The video above features characters from One Piece but in a school setting.
Watching the video really makes me want to continue reading the series! <3
As usual, if you have any questions / comments about anything, feel free. :)
