I'm just a Maidoburger...

Today's midterm was probably the worst I've had in a good while, and it's all on me...
I forgot the odds ratio formula T.T The midterm's 9 marks T.T that question was 2 marks T.T i probably messed up an MCQ or two T.T T.T T.T T.T

Well, would a minipost suffice in these trying times? I haven't been doing much besides reading yuri oneshots and playing MO4 (as usual). I'm even listening to this slightly emotional song from the OST (the one that plays in that loooooooong looooooooong cutscene on Gapanese Hope Island while Sigkin's like u know jack i hate ur ass but ur nice actually) well ANYWAYS I'm stuck on Jeraldy. 

Today, I was so close to being able to give my Jack his ult skill...but...
...
I was off by ~3k EXP. 

You're telling me i was like 2 pasiri orders away from being able to give him his dumb fucking skill before one of the hardest main story fights... 
Nothing ever goes my way!!!!!!!! <- not really

This was really sweet to me...I'm assuming this was like, pre-MO3 events in the universe, judging by how Marikin's there but Sigkin isn't??? (lol)
Everytime I think about pre-MO3 Jack and Marikin my heart cries. They were such good friends...and I mean they probably still are and all but...I feel like, prior to the events of MO3, their relationship was a lot more bromance-y, in this pure and not so pure way? Bonding over their gacha games and how they'll never ever trust a white woman with D(eaeru)-cups again. It feels beautiful to me. I want a bromance like this...
MO2 and MO3 have this special feeling to them. I don't know if this was what was intended or if it's just me being autistic but it feels like Axez really did make those games from a (weirdly humorous) place of love. Plus the MO2 timeloop section BGM makes me emotional the more I listen to it. Just so you know my period just finished I think it's affecting my brain

If only you could fight alongside us...OSARU IF U CAN HEAR ME (banging on sowhonzan HQ doors)

I've been listening to that same BGM for half an hour I feel delirious.

If you have ever wanted an MO4 shipchart to make you wince i am here to help with that

AH! Speaking of ships...
Most of my OTPs are battle partners...but I can ship them with other numas too. I'm a good person.
I also really like Amber x Osaru...(the maidonium in the corner watching them go at it like rabbits: :slight_frown:)
I just think their dynamic is really nice...I'm also lowkey pretending to be Amber to cope with how much I want to be Osaru's fleshlight girlfriend but Amber is genuinely a captivating character nonetheless. I wanna know more about him...Axez-sama plz let him play a role in v6 plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz
Adujack was the first MO4 ship i got super attached to (IYKYK i did NOT play about adujack) so i still like them a lot today. I just think they're neat~~~ They probably have a cute Omar and Salma esque dynamic but without the bullshit. I'm very obviously bullshitting. I just think they are very very cute.
I could go on about all my OTPs here to make the post longer but...I'll probably make this a post on its own? (looks at you)(you seem uninterested)

Ah, I mentioned yuri oneshots.

There was one that I read, it was pretty weird.

If you know me, you know I've been on a yuri oneshot kick lately. One a day (or every few days, to be real...) to keep my brain from rotting. No change in my grey matter just yet though. That'll happen once I read Otome no Teikoku or something. Just give me a few months.

This one (Ovum by Matsumoto Michiyo) stood out to me, though. I really don't know how to describe it...but something about it felt a lot more rooted in reality. A pretty sad reality, but still reality nonetheless (lol), and somehow surreal at the same time. It's not a WOW read, but it was a nice shift from the usual bittersweet-lighthearted stuff I go for.
Just read it! It's like 20 pages. 

Today I had a dream I got my period but the stains were two small circles parallel to each other, as in, one to the left and one to the right...and of course I was in a huge apartment. Because where else would my dreams take place...my room was all pink and really big and spacious, there were butterflies on the walls. Ugh...

And now, it's time to study pathology.
...and to try and beat Jeraldy again

Thanks for reading this garbage dump of a post (lol) I've been spending my days by myself lately so...not much Henriette pics to share ^-^" I guess you'll have to deal with my rambling until my next outing...

Bye!

No good...

 

Genuine and not fake image of me getting harassed by my pharma+physio module

What's going on?!? My life right now feels like the Toy series of perfumes by Moschino because one of them smells ok but the rest smell like total shit. But you can always just...not smell them? Huh? What am i even talking about? I guess I just wanted an excuse to complain because I really hate Toy Pearl and i think the oregano notes make it smell like shit. I guess the perfume is a metaphor for (goes quiet) 

...Actually, I have a really huge crush on Uomo?. It smells so, so good. I want it...I'm glad that I was right about how good it smells. I couldn't stop sniffing it off of my hand. It's so fresh...i like the kumquat notes~~~ Pink Bouquet smells nice but the cinnamon makes the drydown GROSS and MURKY...which is such a shame because for the first five minutes it's on my skin it smells nice. Pre-Jeremy Scott Moschino perfumes are really citrus-y, aren't they...

Well, anyways, my midterms have started. Feels like just yesterday I was "studying" biochem, drawing ecchi instead of focusing on the doctor's (very inaccurate and misleading) revision tips...(sigh) it's still happening, just with Marikin Online 4 instead of drawing ecchi. I was a bit behind on studying because I was finishing up Chapter 10. Well, now I'm aaaaalmost done with the main story...I beat Jungle's Mom Robot. Wow if i was part of a massacre i would also cope by making a huge robot of my mom and killing the perpetrator of said massacre too. Good answer nephew

I also really can't stop thinking about that CG with Osaru in a sauna during that one skill Jungle uses...I'm going (huff)(huff)(Huff)(huff)(huff)(huff)(Huff) at my laptop screen and even though its just a teeny drawing of him it's everything to me. I love you Osaru. Please answer my 90 million phone calls

Hey...speaking of...does anyone know what the battle BGM for the Euphonium robot fight is...? It's a cool rendition of 2017over (<- hopefully im right lol) and i wanna know what it's called...

Ignore ugly Sigkin and focus on beautiful sexy Osaru or wait no don't focus on him he's mine #yumeshipper #selfship #nonsharing #riako #gachikoi

The things you can do with a bottle of iD and some hasheesh by your side...

Well~~~ I finished that pharma+physio exam...and i forgot what potency and efficacy meant...and I probably messed up some physio MCQs...BUT ITS JUST MIDTERMS BRO. I CAN ALWAYS DO WELL IN PRACTICAL AND FINAL ALSO BRO. ITS OK BRO. Uhm, I still have my chances, surely...???? 
The day of the exam was crazy...
It was originally supposed to be at 10:30 am, but that morning, it was raining...
Because of that, they postponed it to 12:30 pm, then to...12:00?!?!?
The whole time, the uni group chat was so irritated at how "oh, other unis cancelled their midterms for the day, why wont ours?!?" and all i could think was "meh lol at least i can get this exam over with~~". It was a strangely calm morning though...I got to go to my favorite cafe for the first time in forever!!! The new latte doesnt taste nearly as good as my dear salted caramel latte...but it was pretty ok nonetheless.
As always, I finished the exam with a partial headache that made my eye socket feel like it was absorbing all the sugar in my bloodstream and making me dizzy...and then I napped~ how nice...

Getting to meet my friends again...that was also very nice!!!! I had my umbrella with me and i stayed under it most of the time because even though it wasnt raining, the bench i was sitting on was in direct sunlight (lol) it was like a makeshift parasol. It was nice because my umbrella is this translucent one with teal polka dots...u_u I'm really happy to see them all again, they all seem to be doing so well T^T even if the vacation wasn't the kindest to them, they still seemed to be holding up well, and that makes me beyond happy...<3 
I had a deep philosophical convo with my friend about...
...
harapan...
I learned a lot about myself. Thank you.

That and also I kin assigned one of my friends Arakawa because she is lowkey Arakawa-esque. I also explained the concept of Maido and how it's an in-universe term for jerking off and how it's ALSO a healing skill so you heal by jerking off basically and it's really good this game is so reputable

Next up is microbiology. I didn't do much...that's tomorrow me's job i'm afraid (zzz) I did solve a few random quizzes though...

Now it's back to my priorities (Masry-kin online 4)

Do you agree with these headcanons? Should Axez make every numa Egyptian? Is Jeraldy Mazaingo my friend? Let me know what you think...

Good night!

Update + haul

 Ah, god, it's been forever!

...

I say that too much.

Anyways! Everyone's beloved, good, really nice, always right, not wrong at all CAT! is back in LA baby what's up. And...I gave this blog a new theme! I hope you like it. What? You like the old one more? (shoots you) Wrong answer 

Jokes aside~~~ I've been wanting to change my blog theme for a while! I've been loyal to the Watermark Bubblegum theme since the very start of this blog, but nearly 4 years have passed...legacy is good but so is change, I guess. That and also, this theme feels a bit more...me :-) a bit too cute, but still, the casual-ness of the layout...it feels like the person behind this blog is nice and not stuck-up...(lol)

This Ramadan was incredibly pathetic mainly because I was alone...well, alone-ness isn't bad, but i was just so disconnected from anything and I hope that never happens to me ever again at all whatsoever. I've been questioning my connection to God a bit too much...(sweats) well, it's over and I'm wearing eid PJs and pretending to study microbiology lalalalala~
Tomorrow I'm going over to my uncle's place for lunch. His two sons are back from fucken GERMANY and it's nice to see them again. I just hope I can have a nice reputation of my own too. Today my older cousin was showing my other one how to use letterboxd www

...the title of this post says "haul", right? WHERE IS IT?

First thing was...something I had to ship out on its own! It was a set of 9 Zany Zap Press issues. What is a Zany Zap Press? A sandwich? Think again! This was GB's quarterly fanclub newsletter before they were rich enough for Marukin! It's got them, Guild, and, in later issues, Anli Pollicino. The issues i got were Autumn and Winter 2011, Spring, Summer and Autumn 2012, Spring and Summer 2013, some 2014 issue, and some 2015 issue, probably Winter. It's not *as much* stuff as I expected, but still very very much worth the buy. Do keep in mind that the earlier issues pale in comparison to the later ones in terms of content, mostly they focus on bonus pics of merch photoshoots, not so much concert pics and interviews. Still nice to have something to look through, you know?

A little peek of the Autumn 2011 issue. I can see why this is FC exclusive I don't wanna share pics of these issues with anyone at all. I'm no better than a copyright-dick-riding gatekeeper

What I meant in regards to the content wwww see what I mean?

A GB towel from their 2019 X-mas live! I got it to hang up in my room. 
How I'll do that? Beats me www

444 no Kiseki by hy4_4yh~! I found this and figured I'd get it.
If the Mercari store I got this from sees this, you will pay for cancelling my Taiyo to Issho order. I've been wanting that CD for 3 years. You denied me of the last Milano-era single I need in my collection. Fuck you. Thanks for the 444 no Kiseki though!
I still have yet to listen to it, but I remember listening to the title track since it was in my Hyper Singles compilation album. Cute stuff. Yon yon dayoooooon

Hummingbird!! A cute one I saw and figured I'd get as well as it was a similar case to 444 where I only listened to the title track. I'm so happy I got this because...now I have every hy4_4yh single from 2009 and 2010!!!! What the hell!!!!! 

It's so pink and cute...cute...and pink...

A pretty interesting buy for me is this...Golden Bomber Kanzen, it's a photobook/mook from 2013 published by Rokuhaisha (maybe they'd ring a bell to any J-pop fans? the book came with this pamphlet/promo paper and they also publish a magazine called J-Generation and they published a similar book for MomoClo) which is essentially just a buuunch of pics from the HNO2013 tour with a bunch of blurbs about the members. It's fun~~

I shall carry on the Ketsugya torch, random Mercari seller...thank you...

The paper thing in question promoting other things from the same publishing house.

Kinda looks like he's trapped under ice (lol)

Watch what happens when I buy merch of a bandman I don't know!!!

Do you know this bandman's name? Seriously I don't remember.

Thank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you godThank you god

This was all for 1500 yen!!! Can you believe it??? And in such perfect condition too...QuQ I wanna use some of the Kenji b-day magnets...

A Lizmelo tote from the 2014 lottery. It's tinyyyyy!!!! I should aim for an actual LL bag next time, but this'll do ww it's really cute, all my essentials fit in it nicely~~

OMG~~~~ got a dior package~~~~~ 

...who the fuck are these people?

No haul of mine is complete without a DVD for "why not" reasons. This is my stupidest one yet; Guild's 2014 quote unquote drama NECK ~When You Wish Upon A ROCK Star~. It has Kirisho in it and some of the episode titles are parodies of GB songs. I can't wait to watch it once I'm done studying microbiology =_=

I got too excited.

Yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...yes...

Now I have 3 chronological Kenji cam angle DVDs...I remember I was talking to a mutual of mine and i mentioned getting this DVD if i passed my first semester. WE MADE IT!!!
I have yet to watch it, as always, but I can't wait...I'm breathing heavily...I really need to be mentally ill again

Strangely erotic...>///<

The fruits of my labor...and the box that birthed them w

Woo! I'm getting sleepy...

Bye!!

Very very short and underwhelming update post

Well, vacation turned to a semester, and a semester turned into fasting, and sure enough, I am the forgotten Cat-chama. Will you forget me too?

(loud cough that goes on for way too long) 

Not much has really happened; and yet, just enough has happened to make me forget I have a blog...well, Ramadan makes anything interesting, and so does a cold. I got a cold on theeee...3rd day. So the 4th day, yesterday, was a horrible day to fast, and yet, I did it. I kept groaning a ton, I was barely able to speak...man, this is probably one of the worst colds I've had in a while...(emeto warning) this morning, I vomited a little bit, and until I went to the clinic, I just kept fasting with dried-up vomit in the back of my throat...ugh. Apparently IV drips and oxygen therapy break your fast. Guess who got a halloumi sandwich! ^u^ It was dry...I'll be back to my normal fasting schedule tomorrow (lol)

I've been feeling so weird...not breathing enough. Not sleeping enough. My lips are so dry...

The semester itself...it's been a bit hard to catch up, and I'm afraid. I feel really lost. I need to lock in. I'm watching a pharmacology lecture video as i write this. So maybe I'll be ok...good news, after a week of no updates, my package with the 9 Zany Zap Press newsletters (that i had to ship on their own because apparently they weighed a whopping 1.2 kg!!! I should've guessed...it's all paper, after all) should arrive tomorrow or the day after...bad news, I won't get it for the next two or three weeks. Well, it depends on when I'll see my parents...I won't be too mad if it'll be a bit, there's still another package to expect, and THAT package should, according to my calculations (read that in a nerd voice or something lol), arrive sometime next week...I'm excited for that, at least, but I really need to focus...

I don't have much to say. MO4 is still annoying me.

Bye!

~Cat

It was fun!

 

HERE LIES...My Vacation...
Jan. 20th ~ Feb. 10th
Lasted a bit longer than I expected~ (lol)

Well, now it's over, and I'm back to normal uni life...

I feel really sappy and sentimental. It was my first time here in nearly half a year...and it was wonderful. I got everything I wanted and more, and it was such a heartwarming time...which is why I wasnt blogging too much. And my laptop will probably die on me...so I wanna keep this short (lol) but I dont want another minipost. 

Some highlights:
Going to accessories place and getting myself bangles, a jewelry holder, and phone charms
Going to accessories place again to get my uni friends gifts
Getting another Juicy Couture perfume
Having my first Buyee haul in half a year
Going out for lunch reaaalllllllyyyyyy often and enjoying it all

Getting myself something for my vanity from Daiso
Getting myself a new card holder, also from Daiso

Getting to Ch. 7 of Marikin Online 4 and the first quest being so painstakingly annoying that I couldn't get myself to finish it and now I'm stuck on it and kinda unable to continue and it's really just self-inflicted and this always happens and I just wanna get to postgame let me get to fucking postgame I'm 6 years late just let me get to postgame dude

Drawing the world's worst Junko fanart

Finding my mom's cute old rings that she let me have!

I'm happy that my hard work allowed me to have a nice vacation; it's because of this that i need to keep it up in the second semester! I have to work even harder, and i have to try and work as much as i can in Ramadan, too, which is gonna be a challenge...but my midterms are gonna be right after it, which suuuuuuuuuuucks...well, like I was saying, I have to keep up the good work! If i could succeed this term, surely I'll succeed in the next, but only if I don't skimp out on catching up with lectures, testing myself, and doing what I can. I know you can, too!!!

I'm also really excited for my Buyee haul!! They're being slow...but an inquiry sent to them told me why, so good luck, Buyee. Of the things I got, one of them is this set of Golden Bomber newsletters, but not just any newsletters...ZANY ZAP PRESS NEWSLETTERS! >u<!!!! They had Autumn and Winter 2011...part of me is hoping I get to see 2011 KNBK All-stars (but that's probably in the Summer '11 issue so I should just die) but I know I'll see 2012 All-stars so I'm not too pissed. I also got this cool photobook of them called Golden Bomber Kanzen. It's more of a mook...but it's just me wanting to use a cool name. It's just a cool photobook. It's from 2013, and all the pics I've seen of the pages are from the Hadaka no Ousama 2013 tour. It seems nice~ a bit of an impulse buy, though (lol)

Another burando (kinda) win for this haul, too. I got a cheap Lizmelo tote from a lottery. Yay~

And now, for captioned Henriette pictures spam.

Me playing MO4, Ch. 5 or 6? I felt really peaceful in this moment.
I was eating leftover Chilli's mashed potatoes. 

This CG looked funny

Accessories place haul 1

Accessories place haul 2

She is cute and good with my bracelets.

Someone help this drowning girl!

Before I go, I guess I can add a bit of length to this post and talk about a weird dream I had.

It's a bit fragmented, but what i remember is, as usual, being in a huge apartment complex with one strange quirk; the staircases from floor to floor would keep disappearing and shifting places, forcing me to jump from one window to the other...I could feel my heart beating, i think i was in this loop of constantly jumping...I remember wearing a party dress, the kind that's for kids. 

Good night!

I hope the duty free has more JC perfumes...(pien)
