Happy New Year! Hope that you guys are having decent year so far.

Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry for the long hiatus. I have been swamped in recent months and already facing a serious crisis in my life. The fallout of the situation is not over but I have to cope with it. Also, I'm sorry that the announcement of my hiatus was only on X/Twitter and then was late to announce it on Facebook. I should've made a short blog post on my hiatus too.

New year, new mental breakdown

Anyway, I will briefly tell you about what I'm planning for this year on this blog. Well...that's it. Without further ado, let's go!

WARNING:-

Although this post is about a certain anime song, there might be SPOILERS from the anime. If you plan to watch the anime without any spoilers, you can continue reading or move on.

P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it, you HAVE been warned. Don't blame me for it if you insist on continuing to read this post.

Blog Publishing Frequency

---

This year, I'm not gonna set a target on how often I'm gonna post. I decided to do so because of a few things:-

1. Nature of my full-time job: My job requires me to go outstation from time to time and often leaves me pretty tired. Blogging is supposed to be my hobby and not my job so setting a target on my blog publishing frequency.

2. Lack of time: Every blog post needs time to publish. I have to check and make sure that I'm satisfied with what I wrote before publishing it. With my full-time job and my other hobbies taking up more and more of my time, I dun have much time left for blog writing.

3. My other hobbies: My other hobbies like gaming will take up time that I can use for blog writing, making blog writing even harder.

4. Motivational issue: The wariness from my full-time job and the issue that I'm currently having is draining my time and motivation to publish more blogs. As long as my issue is not completely settled, this motivational issue is not gonna be fully resolved. Also, lack of inspiration is another problem. So, I'm planning to use AI to assist with this issue.

Anyway, I might have a long break in between, even a long hiatus. Don't worry. This time, I will make the announcement properly on this blog, Facebook page and Twitter account. I have an Instagram account. Maybe we can open it to Threads? I dunno. I will see as we move along.

Working on it...

Usage of AI

---

This year, I plan to use more AI in my blog writing to save more time in the writing process, especially in translation for certain anime songs that don't have any translation. I will repeat this message with AI-generated content. I'm using Gemini for the one below:-

I understand that some may have concerns about the use of AI in writing. I want to assure you that I'm committed to maintaining the authenticity and originality of my work. AI will be used as a supportive tool to assist in the writing process, not to generate entire articles. I believe that a combination of human creativity and AI assistance can lead to even better, more insightful, and more engaging content.

See? AI is a pretty good tool for blog writing. Gemini even gave me tips on writing this announcement:-

• Be transparent: Clearly explain how you plan to use AI and why.
• Focus on the benefits: Highlight how AI will improve your content for readers (e.g., better quality, faster updates, more diverse topics).
• Address potential concerns: Acknowledge and address any concerns readers might have about using AI.
• Maintain your unique voice: Emphasize that your creativity and perspective will remain central to your writing.

Anyway, back to the topic. Even with AI, I will try to maintain the way I write my blog post. I will mostly be using AI to translate anime songs and get some ideas on how to write my blog. Don't worry, I will definitely have my input whenever I write. Also, you will know that I used AI for my content. Do voice out concerns if you do have.

This thing flies without any driver...in the anime

Figures & Nendroid

---

This year, I have decided to do something different. I would like to showcase some of the figures and nendroids that I had purchased. Imma be real. Those purchases left my finances in a precarious predicament. I don't regret it AT ALL. I will do so again even if I go back in time. It's something, isn't it? Anyway, it won't just be the ones that I have. It could be the ones that I don't have but are on my wishlist. We'll see how it goes.

Cute, ain't she?

More of Other Contents

---

I have realised that I have restricted this blog too much to only anime and anime songs. I think that it is time to change. I will add some other content like figures and nendroid. I have talked about my figure and nendroid in the previous section. Here will talk about the other possible content that I might be adding to this blog.

1. Anime convention and related events: So far I have only been to 4 of them and 1 exhibition. I have also participated in a certain event for Genshin. I will talk about them next time.

2. Other anime-related products: I have a lot of pins, keychains and other kinds of anime merch that I bought online previously. Probably will 

3. Some purchases that I like: This one...it's not necessarily anime-related. It's more on a personal side. It depends on the situation and on whether I'm willing to do so.

4. Some places that I visited that I like: Common practice for bloggers but not for me. I will do so more often but not too much to the point where I feel that my privacy is not in a good position because the internet is a nasty place.

5. Some other things that I just want to post: Same as the previous point. Nothing more elaborate.

I love my lolis!!!!

Final Words

---

Imma be fair. My lack of time will still be a challenge every year. Also, I will incorporate more AI input into this blog even more than before. We can't run away from it. I will do my best to make sure that I input my unique twist on my blog post. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy reading and browsing this blog. Goodbye, and God bless you!

Let's start the new year
