Life of a Kat

Completed 13 Reasons Why and then started to read Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick wasn't a good idea. Now, I am in a way down low kind of feeling. Add the fact that it's my lolo's 2nd death anniversary today. Take me out of this darkness. Hug me tight and tell me that everything will be alright.

I had finished reading the book Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari. A very useful read, I should say.  Thanks Lubu!  It had given me a lot of things to think about as someone who is a millenial coz that is actually the main study/subject of observation of the writers. The very on-point and detailed descriptions and observations about online dating apps, really took my attention. It really made me think about my behavior as an active user.  Consider dating apps as introductory services. I totally agree with this. Online dating apps has made way for me to meet so many guys who works for different fields and interests. From the formal ones to weird ones.  In fact, my long time guy bestfriend, I met him thru MIRC, 10 years ago, I think. He would still check on me every now and then. And he met his fiancee thru Tinder. So, yes, he is a major promoter of Tinder to me. HAHAHAHA. A vast array of choices The wide variety of options had made it difficult to choos...

I said I had quit on Tinder. I actually did but before that, I was able to build a little circle of cyber acquiantances as my LINE contacts. (LINE is the most popular messaging app they have in Japan) With that, I was able to get onto a few dinner dates on the weekends, as of this writing, all of which were local Japanese. Usually on a Saturday since I work late on Fridays also. I met a few good guys. One was weird but still, it all went well in the end.  A few things that got me thinking in the end...... 1. Language Barrier.            It's very hard to communicate in speaking two different languages. How awkward it looked when we had to rely on depend on digital translator to keep the conversations going. No matter how I try to keep trying to ask for words in Nihonggo, some people aren't really that patient enough to teach others, I guess.  2. Getting Laid.        I don't know if it has something to do wit...
