It's not a news that I haven't been really active lately but tonight I'm going to write... not my fic, but a few updates on my private life instead, for those who are interested ;)
IE 家 - MY HOUSE
It has been already 4 months since I moved into my new house in order to live together with my boyfriend, and tonight I'm finally showing you some photos :)
You know, I've promised it before!
Nothing great, nothing special, I took them with my mobile phone at evening, so it's not great quality but I think they're... ok ^^
It's a mini-flat, measuring about 50m² and there are only three/four rooms: a kitchen/livingroom, a bathroom, a bedroom, and a tiny corridor that links them together. (
HERE the map, for those who hadn't seen it last time, and the
Kitchen's prospect = how it was supposed to be)
At last... now you can see it "for real":

For those who hadn't noticed, I love my curtains! XD
日本語 - JAPANESE
I'm very happy to announce that I'm successfully memorizing Hiragana. At last!
I've already tried countless times to learn Japanese language but I've never been patient enough (to be honest, I've always found it difficult to learn it on my own) and I was used to give up at the very beginning just because I didn't manage to learn the writing system how to write it...
But now, it's working!
Oh, I have to thank Sho's part in Pikanchi Double, with its A-KA-SA-TA-NA... that made me learn the Hiragana table in no time! XD
料理する - COOKING
I'll be honest: before moving in I rarely cooked something by myself.
Not because I was lazy but simply because I was lucky enough to live in a house where someone else had more "free time" than me :p
But now it's (obviously) different: when I come back from work at evening there's no one at home, and I can do all I want. :3
It's fun! Sometimes a little difficult maybe, especially when I'm trying something new, but still, fun! ^^
For my own future references, I'm going to post here the most successful recipes that I tried until now...
-
Chocolate cookies-
Cantonese fried rice-
Omurice-
Sushi (in my own way)
-
Tamagoyaki-
Lasagne al forno (with
besciamella/béchamel/white sauce and
ragù/ragout completely homemade ^^)
-
Gnocchetti di carote ai funghi misti --> I guess I can translate this as "Carrot dumplings with mixed mushrooms"
Some links above are in Italian language, but if you are interested in one of those, I can write a quick translation (or find an english acceptable recipe for you ^^)
OTHER RAMBLINGS
1) I cut my hair!!
Last week, after one year or so, I had my hair cut. Almost 20 cm in lenght, and still they are not short at all... (see photo above) I didn't want to cut them to be honest, since I'm quite proud of my loong hair, but I had no choice because natural curly ginger hair are not that easy to keep and they were becoming a one huge knot XD
2) I'm desperately waiting for my Scene DVD to be delivered to me...
I haven't watched any spoiler until now, any videos, nor gif, nor image... I want MY DVD!
Now that I've said it aloud, it'll become true in no time, right? XD
3) I'm slow in writing my fics even though you had helped me with my last prompt-game BUT I want to thank anyone who partecipated in it, and it's now reading this rambling post of mine.
Thanks for following and commenting my journal :)
I feel happy whenever someone shows interest, appreciation and affection for me ♥
This is why I'll do my best in order to keep this journal alive, no matter what!
