Oh goodness, I feel like I am having an anxiety attack the closer my trip to SoCal is. A lot of it really stems from the fear of being in a plane. Despite being used to traveling by plane, I am still pretty uncomfortable while on air. I’d really rather be asleep during the flight. We shall see if my brain will let me sleep during this flight. I am also having anxiety with all the “move back” comments that I no doubt be hearing from my parents and Chris’ parents, maybe some relatives as well. I never really like to partake in that conversation and a lot of times, I just ignore the statement OR I say “No”. Whatever. It is just a 4-day visit. So I’ll endure it.

I started reading novels again after taking a break for a few days. I decided to continue on with Heaven Official’s Blessing Vol 5. I really cannot express enough how much I am enjoying this series. I am only a hundred-something pages in and so many things happened already. Some revelations. Some chaotic yet enjoyable confrontations. Some SUS moments. And overwhelming cute interactions between Xie Lian and Hua Cheng made me smile and my heart fluttered. This series is just so good! Also, BB Hua Cheng is so fierce and soooo cute.

Rant Incoming: I did read some more manhwa. And I came across a BL manhwa that I really cannot stand. I had to stop reading and give it up. Because NO. It gave me anxiety. And a lot of wtf moments. After 20 chapters, all I could think of was “why the heck am I still reading this”. It was no good. Look, I am okay with some red flags, I am okay with a few dubious consents. However, if there is no plot, the MC is naked for most of the time because he has no choice and all the encounters are non-consensual, then I have issues. Did I feel like I wasted my time? Yes. I mean, I read 20-something chapters. I had some hopes. Only to be let down. After all the shitty stuff that I read, I drew the line when the MC became entangled with a sadist. That’s a hell no for me. No way in hell I would subject myself to a non-consensual BDSM. End of Rant.

Anyway, I have not watched anything recently aside from live streams on Twitch. I was just pretty much consuming some manhwa. No really big plans today. Just read and do some chores before I leave for SoCal.
