Ok now! Time for my delayed impression on Spiderman: into the Spider-Verse!
Finally watched this on Tuesday after going to the cinema twice XD (the first time we went, the tickets got sold out as we were still in the queue, so we went back the following week SOBS)

TL;DR, I really LOVE Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse! Great setting, plot, development, character, animation, and humour! A++ delivery on everything! It really was worth going to cinema twice for this, highly recommended!

Hey ho!
It has been forever since I last posted eh? Work has been keeping me busy and I've been lazy to post too XD

So ya, update on my life: I've been doing well~ bounced and flew here and there to help my left, right, front and back coworkers at work -- typical life as an intern eh~ But all in all, I've been having a great time in my 4.5 half months of internship! I really LOVE my team!

Here's more happening at work, will put it under the cut~ as usual, another essay from Irene!

(Yes this is a post just to shout since I'm a lot more nervous than I thought I'd be LMAO XDD)

So hi! This girl has finally gone through the continuous storm *^*)9
As I mentioned in my previous post (recall: "WHERE IS MY REFRESHING WEEKEND?!" catchphrase XD), my reading week was insanely busy as I have midterms on the Monday and Tuesday right after the week, assignment due on Wednesday, and case study on Thursday. BUT HERE I AM NOW! Surviving the week~

Has actually been planning to post this since Monday since I feel like it'd be great to spread the positivity, but my workload isn't decreasing much that I had to postpone the post till the end of the week~
So here it is!

It's positive, I ensure you, but it's long. So I'll still put it under the cut :3

All these experience during the past 2 weeks have led me to this post's title: Balancing Hardwork and Positivity, Expectation and Reality
Why did I say balancing hardwork and positivity?
If you only work hard yet never acknowledge the work you've done, you'll end up in endless negativity spiral. However, if you are consent on doing things without fighting hard on it, you'll never be successful.
Why did I say balancing expectation and reality?
The only authentic parameter to judge the fruit of your hardwork is reality. You can set your expectation as high as the sky. But at the end of the day, judgement will be made based on reality. Therefore, if you ever thought "I think I can do this" yet was unable to realize that despite working hard, never let that bring you down! No hardwork is fruitless. If you work hard enough, even coincidental discovery of anything will be your ally.

As cliche as it may sound, these are what I feel that I've gained from the past 2 weeks, and I believe that having this mindset will help me be a better person :3

Kk Irene, otsukare for overcoming this storm!

Ok, not planning to make it sound cheesy, today literally was really cold!
Like the wind is reaaaaaaally strong!!!

But you see, lots of great stuffs happened today, so here they are!

I received soooooo much warmth despite the cold weather today!
Gonna close my night by watching 99.9 Keiji Senmon Bengoshi Season II episode 1~
And maybe some other Arashi/Arslan Senki stuffs!!
Thank you to everyone for thinking of me and making my day felt sooooo special!!!

Irene is back with her not-long-but-not-short essay this time~ (well might still be considered long, but if you compare this with my other posts, I'd say that this is short XDD)
It's a compilation the storm and rainbow of this week :3

It has been a great day and I got to meet sooooo many kind people today :3
Today is a great day!! >v<~

This is the 2nd drama I've finished this break (Well, 3rd if you count SakiBoku but I don't count that in as I watched SakiBoku ongoing-ly~)

I honestly didn't expect much at first: I was just interested seeing more than 1 Arashi members + Tabe Mikako in a drama and also because the theme seemed cheerful, like I need something to heal my heart after watching Maou LOL
So ya, I went with YamaTaro and guess what, I couldn't stop watching and finished 9/10 episodes in one day (I really could've finished them in one day had my internet not lag, like it took me hours to finish episode 1 XD).t

Not going to mislead you, it really is a cheerful drama. But aside from cheerful, it also has a really simple-yet-sweet plot, which I didn't expect. Furthermore, all the characters are really well-written and each has a characteristic unique to themselves.

It really is a great drama that made me both laugh and cry, honestly!

Yamada Tarou Monogatari really exceeded my expectation. Not a typical school drama that simply revolves around school and mostly romance, YamaTaro carries a lot of simple-yet-deep life lessons:
1. Communication is important, whether it's with friends or family.
2. No matter how hard the life is, as long as you're working to make those whom you care for happy, the hard work will pay off.
3. Taken from The Yamada's Rules, combined together: even small things can make you smile as long as you can see the value in it.

Ya honestly, I didn't expect myself to cry watching this drama, but the family parts really touched my heart that I actually cried XDD
In nutshell, Yamada Tarou Monogatari is a great drama!

Just finished the drama last night~
However, it was so late that I feel like I can't choose the optimal screenshot and summary to get my point across, so I decided to write this the next morning :3

It really is a good educational drama! I highly recommend it!!

This drama has taught me a lot every single episode. I also post this on Menimi's comment, but it's really some important lesson to get:
- It reminds me that it's ok to be yourself and work on your own pace, it's ok to be different, and it's ok to lack some skill.
No one is perfect, but that's why people learn and work hard. No effort will die in vain so long as you put your whole heart on what you do. This really is simple and obvious, yet sometimes failure makes us forget.

- Communication is really important.
Narumi could get his point to the students and teachers because he spoke his mind and faced them head-on, and on the other hand, his lack of communication with Matsubara, his fiance, caused a lot of problems.
I personally can't blame Narumi for anything at all, seeing him is like seeing a reflection of myself: I'm also a type who got absorbed in work and pretty slow at realizing how people feel, which is why I'd really appreciate people telling me if I did something that makes them uneasy. And I think Narumi feels the same in that aspect. So ya, not saying that he's not wrong, but I definitely have no right to blame him XD
And this drama kinda warns me about the problems my current self can bring had I not communicate well XD

- Quoting Narumi: "Your life won't go as you plan, it definitely won't. People form themselves as they hit the barriers, considering their worries, and by overcoming those walls, we gain confidence. The worst thing is to do nothing. Chances won't come to those who do nothing. The same happens on soccer, no? Only those who run will get the pass."

TL;DR, it really is a great educational drama. If you're expecting yourself to see a classic ordinary school drama, you won't find it here!
Also, if you want to see LOTS of Sakurai Sho + food scene, this is a perfect drama for you! XDD

Ok so, I’m changing my display picture~
It’s Kobayashi Rindou (aka Rindou-senpai) from Shokugeki no Soma!

My picture changed but don’t worry, I’m still the same Irene as always: still an 嵐, anime/manga, and wolf/dog fangirl!

I changed it because lately my SKULE friends has been trying to find my Twitter. I used to use the same picture for all my social media accounts (FB, Twitter, LJ, and DW). If they found irene_purin on their search and saw the same Makkachin (the dog) used as the display picture, it’ll immediately tell them that irene_purin is me XD

Not sure if they’ll really look for my online account and not sure if this will work, but better than doing nothing~ and since I'm changing it for my Twitter, I think it'll be nice if all my irene_purin accounts has the same picture, so I changed it for my LJ and DW too :3

So here you go! Rindou-senpai as Irene's new display picture XD

So! I kinda marathoned some Himitsu no Arashi-chan episodes today~ was actually planning to watch 2012.03.25 too (not sure about the date since some source said that it's 2012.03.22, but it's the 5th Himitsu no Arashi-chan's anniversary!) but I couldn't find the subbed one, so haven't watched it yet >^<
Please do let me know if anyone knows where to find it! THANKS!

Anyway, since there are 2 different episodes, I'll split the post into 2 cuts~

First, my fave: Himitsu no Arashi-chan 2010.08.26

Next: Himitsu no Arashi-chan 2010.07.15

Honestly, I really recommend everyone to watch these, especially the Mannequin 5 one! IT'S HONESTLY ADORABLE!
