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
hey friends! in the search for favicon that complement my new profile I wandered into some pretty niche corners of the graphics side of the internet, and found some really unique and helpful decome sites. I thought I'd link them all here for easy access for any new projects of yours! I hope these will help you track down pixels you've had trouble finding through the more frequently listed channels... » Continue Reading
hiya friends! I hope you're all well :-D, I know that I am! I'm really grateful not just to have a free schedule these days, but mental freedom, too. I'm starting to feel alive again, and I haven't even started taking vitamins yet! /j I received a $50 gift card from my school during my graduation ceremony as a reward for ranking first in japanese continuers (LOL), and I figured that I should try t... » Continue Reading
(clearly, god finally agreed that he owed me a favour...) I went thrifting today for the first time in a while and I found all sorts of cute things, which is rare- regardless of how frequently I visit! honourable mention to the cool-looking skirt that was actually a dress too small for me (I was so sad about that :-( it looked awesome as a skirt!) and the green blouse that I unexpectedly really li... » Continue Reading
two of my most important takeaways from what I've learned today in the self-development realm is ' accepting, holistically, that you have needs ' & ' trying to access both sides of your experience of the world '. I apologise in advance if my expla » Continue Reading
「雪の風、 | 'a wind made of snow- 笛は飛ぶ鳥 | my flute is a flying bird, 凛の空に。 | in this frigid sky. 絹は羽なら | if silk could turn to feathers, 翻り散る。 」 | I would flutter, and disperse.' image by 歌川国芳 (utagawa kuniyoshi) » Continue Reading
in a literal sense, I'm referring to this mashup of azealia banks' '1991' with the vocals of 'roman's revenge' by nicki minaj. it sounds so goooood !!!! I'm trying to let myself enjoy the things that I really love, after all the stress I've been through within the past month. I found out about the non-azealia vocal version through You guessed it: a tiktok s » Continue Reading
hello again! I've been thinking lately about how geimaiko-san look after their skin, & wish to apply that curiosity to help myself & others take better care of their skin, too. I've struggled with acne for a long time & am looking for a way to treat it that is soothing to both my skin & my soul. it's always my priority to be true to myself, which includes being selective about what I engage with, ... » Continue Reading
hi friends!! :3c with the stressful & tricky fortnight I've been having, I gladly took the opportunity to take today off, & I'm very glad that I did so, because I've had a wonderful day so far! so wonderful that I want to remember this for more than ten days- which is why this is a blog post, rather than a bulletin. despite technically being a school day, I'm totally treating it like I've been giv... » Continue Reading
this time I was on the japan trip again, extremely bored & fed up because for the past 3 or so days we'd hardly done anything. this was because the teachers were having to look after sick kids, or were sick themselves, or apparently just going haywire. I got so sick of being in the hotel room that I snuck out (& I KNEW the teachers would be furious with me) to see my mum, who was also in japan? ju... » Continue Reading
newly tasting the hot and cold of breakfast, welcoming in the satisfaction- there's a magpie outside the kitchen window, aerating the neighbour's front garden with its beak in the search of bugs. it stops to itch itself on the neck. then goes back to plodding along. pecking. this bird seems to know something I don't. it brings light upon the world just by doing what it was brought here for, stayin... » Continue Reading
I of all people know the pain of love. I have kneeled on so many floors that my knees have become numb, does it really matter if it's from the scrubbing, or the entertaining? the pleasuring? either way I am sore. what do you have to tell me that I haven't already heard under this wide white moon? do you have anything to offer me that is not of my own expense? the beautiful silk you paid » Continue Reading
