BLOG -- Recap of March

March was a movie binge-watching month for me. I guess I just got the urge to go through more of the stuff I bought back when HMV had its crazy store closing sales. I'm closer to being able to subscribe to Netflix or Crunchyroll this year! :3 


Outings/Events in March:
- Hung out with friends overall x2

- Had a couple spontaneous vacation days.

- Attended a send-off for a long-time co-worker at work. I wish him the best!

- Had a dentist appointment *sniffle*.

- Stayed over at my sister's place x2.


Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn achievements / news: 
-I did the Hatching Tide event before my subscription expired.
-This one's pretty big news for myself: my main character purchased a mansion! Now I'll be stuck re-subbing every other month or I'll lose the house, hahaha. Hopefully I'll get a chance to redecorate it when I re-sub in May. :3

Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius achievements / news: 
-My rank is currently 147 (yay I can leave the game alone for 13 hours 35 mins)
-I got a number of rainbow units this month. I'm doing my best to save tickets for the Valkyrie Profile banner -- hopefully that comes to the GL version!


Exposures:
- (Food place): Uncle Tetsu's Angel Cafe -- I'd say this is a nice "hideout" for anime fans. The food was just okay, but the dessert -- at least the dessert I had -- yummmmy! I'd go there again.


Finished...
Watching:
(Movie): Annihilation -- At first I was kinda meh about it, but it's slowly growing on me, some of the ideas and imagery. I am pretty much set, though, with my own interpretation of the ending.

- (Movie): Ready Player One -- This was fun and nostalgic. I'd like to experience the Oasis!

- (Movie): Whiteout -- Quite predictable and forgettable.

- (Movie): Moulin Rouge -- Some of the singing was nice and there were some nice moments, but the first 30 mins or so were super annoying.

- (Movie): The Rats -- It was meh.

- (Movie): Devil's Advocate -- This was a long movie, but quite interesting and entertaining.

- (Movie): The Debt -- Great acting. I feel for David and Rachel.

- (Movie): Dragonheart -- I really enjoyed this. Quite funny and original, in my opinion.

- (Movie): Dragonheart: A New Beginning -- Not bad for a sequel.

- (Movie): Creative Control -- Bleh.

- (Movie): Jumper -- The premise was interesting, but I would have liked more character development and resolutions.

- (Movie): U.S. Marshals -- This was interesting.

- (Movie): Ghost Rider -- Not the best Marvel movie I've seen.

- (Movie): The Fugitive -- This was good. I was surprised to see the same team from U.S. Marshals in this movie. I finally get to see the scene with Neil Flynn in it.

- (Movie): Stop-Loss -- The issue addressed was interesting, but the movie was kinda boring.

- (Movie): Breakin' -- Light, fun, and cheesy at times. I enjoyed it! I wish there was more romance.

- (Movie): Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo -- Much more cheesy than the first, but the dancing was good.

- (Movie): Along Came a Spider -- It's different from the novel, but was okay. I thought the child character was pretty smart.

- (Movie): Kiss the Girls -- It was okay.

- (Movie): Shawshank Redemption -- Very long, but a good watch.

- (Movie): The Gift -- I liked this.

- (Anime): Night Head Genesis -- This had potential, but got meh by the end.

- (Anime - Movie): Eden of the East: King of Eden -- I enjoyed it, but definitely have the next movie on hand.

- (Anime - Movie): Eden of the East: Paradise Lost -- This was a nice resolution to the series. Not enough romance, though, haha. 


Playing:
- (PSP): Corpse Party -- This was one creepy game. I advise saving in multiple slots at different points throughout the game. You never know if you've locked yourself in a bad ending.

That's it for March. Here are some pics I took this month plus a YouTube video.


Angel hat cheesecake from Angel Cafe. This was so good!

Omurice from Angel Cafe. I got this meal just so the server could 
draw something on top. I asked for a mouse drawing and then 
she asked for a reference so I looked up Mickey Mouse. 
The dish itself was just okay.

Waffle-stuffed double down from KFC.
I split this with my sister and it was a good call.
The waffle and syrup got so sweet when I finished my half.
It was good in the beginning, though!

I pulled Prompto this month. Not sure when /if I would actually use him, though.

"Hikari" by Elisa -- the 1st ending theme to Nabari no Ou.
I've been listening to this track almost nonstop at work for the past few weeks.
I kinda think this makes a good theme song for David and Rachel from The Debt.


Thanks for reading!

For anybody celebrating Easter, Happy Easter! Also be careful of the possible jokes that might happen tomorrow.

As usual, if you have any questions / comments about anything, feel free. :)
