I am a chronic sufferer of faithlessness when it comes to anything I do, especially in writing. Whenever I write, there is always a dissatisfaction. It is never good enough and I will never be good enough to improve. Sometimes this becomes so bad that I need a good kick on the rear to even get me to upload anything. And it makes me feel bad, horrible, distraught...

Perhaps even depressed.

Never eat Korean instant noodles in which the only thing you can read is the word "kimchi."

And, no, it's not because it's bad or anything. However, if you're like me who has no tolerance for spicy foods, it's -points at title of journal- Death by Noodles indeed.

Granted... it is very yummy. I just wish that my tongue wouldn't fall off any moment now.

This journal is still open for discussion if anyone wants to do so. Personally, there wasn't a lot of bombs in that chapter but it's probably because (1) it's been a while and (2) I've mulled over so many things about it. Still, though, it's Spiral... prepare to lose HP.

Some people say that culture shock lasts for, I don't know, somewhere between a few months to a year. And though I believe them, I doubt (or rather I wish I wouldn't) that I'll be able to adjust here as well as my family hope I would.

The reason?

It's a bit sad to find the fandom dead to the world. Or maybe it's not, I don't know anymore, since I haven't really visited FFN, and even when I do, I simply can't just sit down and read a fic.

It's quite hard to feel elated when family doesn't recognize obvious achievements or when family just doesn't know when to let me be happy for once.

Besides, stuff have been pretty... okay lately, and I'm still living, relatively content despite circumstances.

I suppose it's because of the awesome guitar solos playing through my speakers right now. I swear, after I graduate, I'm going back to guitar lessons.

Spring Break is over and I have not uploaded anything in FFN. Yes, I lied. I'm sorry. I should take off that statement in my FFN profile that I'll be uploading something before break was over because, obviously, it did not happen.
