My 21st Birthday 🎂



 I celebrated my 21st birthday on February 22nd of 2024. So, I decided to invite my friends over for lunch. It was planned to be held on the day after so on my actual birthday, I went grocery shopping with my dad to buy all the ingredients we needed. The next day, I wore a pastel green frock with white flowers designed on it. Then with a couple of my friends, I went to the Rajapaksha Park in Negombo to take some pictures. I was going for a cute picnic kind of vibe, and the greenery of the park blended with it beautifully. While one friend was helping me with the pictures, others surprised me with a bouquet of flowers. I loved it so much, as it was the first time someone had gifted me flowers. 



We spent about 2 hours in the park and went home as the other friends had already arrived. I was so happy to see some of them after a long time, and even my long-distance friend visited me. We decorated the table for the cake cutting with some sweets and other snacks. As everyone sang the birthday song, I cut the cake, and my friends didn't forget to snap some silly pictures. After some chit-chat and catching up, my parents called everyone for lunch. We had lunch & after that, we sang songs & had fun. My friends gifted me a beautiful, framed picture of myself and a huge pack of curly hair products. I was honestly so surprised as I've been wanting it for so long. As the evening approached everyone bid me goodbye. It was super fun, and it felt so fulfilling to spend a special day of my life with my loved ones.

Romantic Killer - A fan girl's ultimate comfort anime

Image
  I don't consider myself an ultimate anime fan, but once in a while, when I stumble upon a good one, I immediately become obsessed with it. Romantic Killer is by far the best anime I've watched. Given the animation style and the plot, it is definitely the best modern romance anime. Romantic Killer   is originally a Japanese manga  series written and illustrated by Wataru Momose, which was adapted into an original net animation & was released on Netflix in October of 2022. The series revolves around the main character Anzu Hoshino, a high school girl with zero interest in romance, and a wizard named Riri who's trying to drag her into a series of real-life events that resemble typical rom-com dating games & movies.  Anzu's character feels so relatable to me personally. She's a no-nonsense, independent, blunt girl living her best life with her 3 obsessions; video games, chocolate & cats. The only kind of boys she's interested in are her favorite video ...

Unproductive Days

Image
  As a university student, I hardly have free time to waste. But when I do, I'd like to do nothing & just lay around. Some might say you should find a useful hobby to do in your free time. But I think it's okay to just do nothing sometimes. Once a week, I take a day to make myself into a sloth. When I end up sleeping 'till the afternoon, it automatically becomes an unproductive day. Because after I wake up, I have no energy to do anything even though I just got hours of sleep. I mostly just lay on my bed, on the couch, and sometimes even on the floor, watching random videos on YouTube. I mostly listen to crime podcasts. I know I've had enough of screen time when my eyes start to hurt. Then I switch to my adult coloring book while listening to music.  Sometimes I do karaoke, but I get bored really quick. I also play games & watch my comfort shows over & over again. And when I feel too lazy to move a single muscle, I just stare into space & do nothing. Som...

How I survived my first job

Image
One of the crucial things you start to worry about when stepping into adulthood is money. The first big-girl  job I had was in February of last year. After lounging around and doing aimless things after my A/Ls for almost a year, I felt the need to be a responsible adult and try to take care of my things at least until university started.  So, I went to an interview for a bookshop near me and luckily, they hired me right away because they were short on staff. Under the supervision of an old worker, I started my training right away. The work was pretty easy & I worked from 9 am to 7 pm. In the first week, I worked as a sales assistant, and I had to learn about all the types of stationaries & books that were available in the store. Then I became a trainee cashier in a short time. It was a big responsibility because I had to handle the money & settle all the cash reports at the end of the day. There were small mishaps here & there, but since I'm a quick learner I ...
