Train Rides 🚉

 Traveling by train has become a daily routine for me since last October. I take the 6.30-morning train to attend the university every day. It's been the thing that I look forward to most.


My first mission after getting on the train is to find a window seat. It isn't very crowded at 6.30, so I usually have no problem finding the perfect seat. Then I plug in my headphones and play music while enjoying my ride. This is actually what makes the journey fun. The morning breeze hits my face & I get to watch the beautiful sunrise most of the day. It feels so refreshing & never fails to bring a smile to my face instantly. I even have a separate music playlist for train rides & I listen to it every day, & most days I enjoy the ride so much that I don't even notice that I've arrived at my destination.





Traveling by train is less of a hassle compared to the bus, & it's less exhausting. However, it can be quite bothersome on rainy days as the trains get late & sometimes get canceled, and the waiting crowd gets doubled for the next train. One time I had to wait for 45 minutes 'till the train arrived, & when it came it was too crowded to the point that one couldn't even fit a finger inside. So, I had to get a refund on my ticket & travel by bus. 

Still, I enjoy the train experience. Rather than its convenience, what I like is watching the view outside. Seeing the paddy fields, children going to school, and even the aesthetic of the train stations fills me with a warm feeling.

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 ...
