hi there! welcome to my waka directory :-) the term 'waka' refers to the form of poetry primarily composed by classical japanese authors. it includes both tanka and haiku, the styles in which I write most of my poems- and now that a few of them have been published on my blog, I've decided to consolidate their access points into this post for ease of blog navigation. they are listed in order of pu... » Continue Reading
hi friends ^_^ song of the evening is, I'm sorry to say, drake's 'passionfruit'. it's at just the right tempo for me right now. please forgive me for listening to drake again /hj ... newton's third law of motion states that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. with the wisdom of knowing that we, as energetic beings, experience the same push-and-pull as atoms do, we can apply... » Continue Reading
hiya friends! I'm finally doing that reading on the intersection between buddhist teaching and human relational patterns and I'm LOVING it!!! man this is right up my alley!!! :3 I'm using this entry as a little notepad for my thoughts as I go through the article (which is linked here for convenience), and thought I might as well share them while I'm at it ^_^ for t » Continue Reading
hi friends ^_^ today I feel self-conscious about how easily I give into aimless hunger; the kind that wants to watch stationery lucky-scoop videos on facebook and snack all afternoon, when I could be filling my time and heart with something more fulfilling. even if that 'something' was, in a literal sense, nothing. I'd genuinely be better off sitting there doing nothing but observing my thoughts u... » Continue Reading
that was a fun night out! I knew were my limits were going to be ahead of time; I learned from last time and ate properly, charged up my phone, and got home at a reasonable time. and I enjoyed myself, it was as chill as I'd predicted. I still haven't gotten the hang of the social butterfly thing, though, and because of it I feel like I missed out on some conversations I'd have loved to participat... » Continue Reading
hi friends!! I'm (so) back ^_^ and I have the next three days off~! you guys, I used to sympathise with those memes made by baristas complaining about how hard and shitty their jobs are, until I made a few fateful google searches last night hoping to fill some training gaps, and discovered that Steaming milk should lowkey be really easy. this was literally news to me. I thought everybody else just... » Continue Reading
hiya friends! :3 I LOVE having money. I love buying stuff. I've reawakened my inner consumerist and my life has never been better /hyp. I'm giving myself permission to buy things so I can learn how to enjoy my money, and allow it to contribute positively to my life in a thoughtful manner, lest I deprive myself of pleasure and then splurge to compensate. today I finally got around to buying an obi-... » Continue Reading
the cause of your existence was the infinite trying to experience itself, which could only happen in a finite realm, you might appreciate your self and its sovereignty more which is to say that you would become less tolerant of egoistic behaviour that will gladly violate the foundational reason of your being- the experience of separation so that you may rejoin the whole in an enriching manner- so ... » Continue Reading
hi again friends! :-) I went thrifting today for the first time in a while and was pleasantly surprised at what I found~ despite being generally exhausted right now I was able to really slow down and enjoy myself while I thrifted, first things first though-- here's the outfit I wore while I was out and about! to b » Continue Reading
hiya friends! I had some interesting dreams a couple of nights ago but didn't have the chance to write about and reflect on them until now-- which has finally arrived, so I wanted to make good use of the opportunity to capture them before they're forever lost in the crevices of memory. 20/01/2026 -- glimpse of khomus I remember this dream as well now as I did when I first awoke from it; not very w... » Continue Reading
hiya friends! lately I've had an insatiable hunger for KEYCHAINS. I NEED a keychain for my new handbag so badly, but in the interest of minimising my pointless consumerist spending for something that'd probably fall apart quickly anyway I thought I should try to make one myself first and see if it scratches the itch. and I did! and I'm *almost* completely happy with it. here it is-- » Continue Reading
hiya friends!!!! :3 I have the next 3 days off and actually have some exciting plans for once so naturally I'm in a pretty good mood tonight~ as an interesting sidenote I currently have 73 friends and 7,333 profile views. while looking into the numerology for that I came across a source that said it relates to 'self-determination, introspection, and creative self-expression', which I thought beaut... » Continue Reading
