[Before Iretalia's widened gaze, a raging wolf presses forward against a cunning serpent. Edeaux's cloak of ashen smoke was unable to catch his prey off-guard, a thrown knife from behind foiled by Aeravor's ability to assassinate without fetters of distance. An attack evaded, its counterpart fared no better. Never flinching, the Serpent of Histalonia weaves a pattern of fluid steps back and forth. Unable to tear down a wall of dexterous movements, the ranger nevertheless continues his onslaught.
Akin to that fateful night under a full moon turned from blood to azure, there is an undeniable beauty hidden underneath the Relentless One's assault. It is nothing fanciful, only the desire to move forward lest death arrives the next moment.
"No." whispers the Yaguryeo as understanding dawns upon her like the sun rising before daybreak, "He is moving forward because there is no other way to live."]
~A Requiem From Winter Past: A Sea Of Blades And Deceit
Above is only an excerpt from the second arc of the story. So no, the Singaporean version of Berserk is still alive somewhere. Now if only I can start finishing the first arc. I swear A Requiem From Winter Past: The Wolf, The Lion, And A Maiden Fair isn't even halfway done.
Note: I'm going to change certain names for a reason (i.e. whimsical?). Iretalia happened to be one of them.
Add Note: Surely it could have been worse, right?
So what am I going to do?
Recently, Daily Nas got himself into trouble again. While I'm not interested in playing the Jewish judge, I decided to be as mad as a Greek or as insane as a German.
If you believe the whole "two sides of the same coin" logic sounds familiar, maybe it's because of this vid.
Yes, I know I'm being crazy here. Thankfully, this blog is meant to be the rage room for my creativity. This also means I'm going to be in trouble once a certain Mr Lee finds out what I've been writing online. That is unless there's a way to prove I'm an actual trauma case.
On the bright side, going through the list of symptoms of trauma due to bullying actually made me realised how much of a mentally resilient person I've become. I only suffered from fight or flight, a moment of my mind gone black with my senses still intact, one moment of the white screen version, unstable attention span, and an auto-trigger to dominate a conversation. These are just some of my problems, though. While it's indeed true that I'm quite unstable behaviour wise, my state of emotions has developed a high level of resilience. Yes, I'm emotionally dysfunctional. Quite obviously, I do have my emotionally unstable moments. But could it have been worse? Let's just say that instead of being a fellow incel of Elliot Rodger, I become more like a descendant of the most prominent guy in this video below.
Note that more like a descendant of Tokugawa Ieyasu=/=an actual descendant. Otherwise, the PAP government would have to endure a global PR nightmare even though I look more like a half-Ainu than the typical Japanese you get to see at Tiong Bahru.

And now, the song list begins.

Not so recently, an article was outed involving millennials insisting they're... well, death-proof. Years ago, I stumbled upon an interview featuring a Korean arguably more NSFW than the likes of Hyuna and Lee Hyo-Ri. In the interview, he famously spoke words which we should be paying attention to.
As a result, the death-proof mentality inspired me to do a new post under the Lah Lah Land section. Now let's see how many videos YouTube will strike off due to copyright claims.
But before I do that, allow me to quote two... well, quotes.
“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”
“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
-Agatha Christie
There's a very good reason why I never attribute the first quote to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Namely, this. Which comes to mind the question of intention if you're still sharing this quote. There can only be two possibilities: Either it's an accident or you're doing this to... well, get another person's attention. The second possibility should be seen as an impossibility since it's not as if we're watching a J-drama entitled Ieyasu And Oai.
This post is all about Aimer whose command of Engrish sounds more like English. The reason why I use the two quotes to start the ball rolling is due to a few scenes commonly associated with some of her more famous songs.
And now, the song list begins.
DISCLAIMER!!!!!
Please support the real deal if you like the songs. Unlike the powers-that-be responsible for the Virus Vanguard gone horribly coronaviral, I'm doing this free-of-charge. And besides, it's not as if I'm an actual descendant of Tokugawa Ieyasu whose Ainu mom claimed descent from Minamoto no Yoshitsune (i.e. I'm sure nothing good will come out from this).
P.S: Remember the wrong F. Scott Fitzgerald quote? I suddenly realised Goblin Slayer accidentally endorsed it.
