Favourite anime I suppose my taste is quite evident, hahah.
(#1 top-left; #15 bottom-right)
All volumes of THE BEST THING I'VE EVER READ!!!! Trauma healing with yuri + insane writing and lovable characters

Favourite characters Strangely - or mayhaps not - it consists of only female characters.
(not ranked per se)
Best girls If I needed to choose waifus, which sounds rather cringe, but ah well.
For some reason, they all have twin-tails... :P
Yurine Hanazono Rize Tedeza Kagami Hiiragi
Milestones I just wanted to note these milestones at some point. (Every 100 completed shows (OVA's, movies etc. too!) and 1.000 episodes)
Favourite OSTs Having been quite touched by these, I felt the need to share them. The ones below are not ranked.
Non Non Biyori - Hidamari Michi
It has so much emotional value to me, it's absurd. For example, the instance that the first chord movement is sounding (Cmaj7 to Fm), I'm instantly taken back to the world of Non Non Biyori - or any very laid-back show in the countryside for this matter - where everything seems so simple. The girls just living their lives and we, the viewers, are experiencing their daily antics - Nattsun being who she is, annoying her mom and having fun with her friends.
I've never had any siblings, but seeing the dynamic between Natsumi and Komari just feels so fun and heartwarming to watch.
Renge messing around, also sometimes playing her recorder (I also started playing that instrument when I was around her age (6) xD), and seeing the four main characters (Renge, Hotaru, Natsumi & Komari) just go about their days makes me feel very nostalgic - just me thinking back to how my own childhood was, and that I sometimes miss just living my life to have fun and play with friends.
I'm also glad that it helps people cheer up, make them feel a connection with the characters or even letting them "experience" a childhood they never had; thank you so much for your masterpiece, Atto-sensei. Everything about your show is absolutely, indisputably perfect and I believe that the setting and feeling of said show are being captured in this one OST on another level. also covered it myself a while ago :P link
Gakkou Gurashi - We Took Each Other's Hand
I heard this ED, and I instantly recognised it as a very soothing jazz ballad, and as an aspiring Jazz pianist, I just had to listen to it more and more and more and....
You get the gist.
It really gives a bittersweet feeling to the anime that is School-Live, where young high school girls just have to cope with loss and whatnot. It really touches my heart strings, the vocals especially. "I wanna be with you again".... Man.
K-On!! - U&I
Similar to a different HTT song, U&I is the first song I could play on bass. I used tabs, because I wasn't able to hear Mio's bass that clearly. Besides that, I also wasn't good at speed, so I barely could keep up when I started. Safe to say that my fingering has become very stable over time, but I sometimes hear a nail hitting a string (I keep them short too ;-;).
Anyways, the lyrics in this song hit different and although the chord progression and melody might not be that insane, they still struck a chord within my heart (ah, the cheese).
Moving on, I own a Fender jazz bass sunburst now (almost identical to the model Mio uses) and I feel great about playing along the song! Mio technically plays a '62 jazz bass from Fender Japan if I'm correct, but I couldn't find such a vintage bass. Keeping my fingers crossed, though!
But yeah, I'm also working on band covers at the time of writing, so I can fully cover U&I on my own.
Non Non Biyori - Natsuyasumi
I needn't say more than a couple things: when you listen to this song, think about fun and good memories; perhaps your childhood - playing with friends - or at least something nostalgia-inducing for this matter.
Then keep listening and imagine yourself reliving those memories. When the climax hits at 1:14, you'll definitely see why this one is so liked by many.
K-On! - My Love is a Stapler
I rewatched K-On and HTT performed this song in episode 8, and it really took me back. Back to the time where I still wasn't sure about slice of life; about the whole cgdct genre.
But oh well, K-On really changed me - for the better or for the worst, that's wholly subjective, but what I can say is that I really changed as a musician. My first song that I could play on guitar was "Yui's solo" derived from My Love is a Stapler and well K-On inspired me to pick up more instruments, lol.
Anyways, this song takes you on a ride right off the bat with its effective and melodic guitar riff at the start.
As Mio stated: "It's a difficult riff, but she [Yui] already mastered it.", even though Yui hadn't even played for more than a year. Even though it's an anime, it doesn't mean that one cannot do great things (music-related) if they do practise enough (and occasionally eat cakes on the side xD).
So yeah, such a great inspiration for me as a musician.
Favourite games Games I daily or very often play AND ENJOY - or just find very enjoyable.

Het is zo'n lange tijd geweest dat ik ben vergeten wat ik je stuurde. dus ik doe maar alsof ik het herinner.
Ja haha zeker ik ben een hele grote van wat ik zei. En ik kan niet geloven dat die ene persoon dat zei over dit onderwerp. Wat vindt jij?
Ahhh, I'm so sorry for the late reply! (´ï¼›ω；｀) My internship has been absolutely crazy lately, but I'm so happy to finally get to chat with you!
Yesss, another Vinland Saga lover! Thorfinn's journey from being consumed by revenge to seeking peace and redemption was so goood. That character development is some of the best I've ever seen in anime. The way season 2 made me care about farming as much as I cared about battles in season 1 is honestly a masterpiece!
I noticed you have some amazing shows in your favorites too! Your taste is seriously impressive~ Do you have any recs to give?
Yes, you are absolutely right. :D
And I am also glad that you got home safely. :D
We didn't go abroad this year, we were just with my dad and sister on the shore of Lake Balaton for 6 days.
But next week, Tuesday, we are going there again for 1-2 days.
I got an anime mug and we looked at castles.
That sounds awesome, I’ve never been on a plane trip myself, so your story’s giving me major travel envy haha. still a bit nervous about going abroad, but hopefully I’ll get to try it someday too.
Glad to see u had fun there! for me growing up, i never "formally" learned how to speak tagalog either but my parents talked to my siblings and i in it so i can understand spoken tagalog to an extent. sometimes when i sound words out to myself, it would kinda make sense to me but it depends on the vocab... Funny enough, i still got put into an EAL program (English as a second language) when i was in elementary/primary school even though i was more comfortable speaking english lol
I have relatives in the philippines, most of whom are in the provinces, tho im not close with any of them. Ive been thinking of visiting one of these days, mainly cuz i feel like im "obligated" to go there at least once in my life as an ethnic Filipino. Flights are expensive tho! so my family usually goes down south to the US for vacations
