Hello my dear petals! How have you been? It's been a while since I last posted something, but nothing much happened with that creep from the previous post and I gave my instagram to my co worker, I just hope she doesn't get to my blog. On another news, I got an abscess. Went to the dentist and she drained it. Now I'm on medication and really don't feel like working because I keep being sleepy and drowsy all the time. Gosh I miss Soul Eater so much. I've also been working with my best friend. She needed my help to translate something. Which I wasn't aware that I recall so many things in Finnish. I wonder why I haven't been studying it in the past. Mä rakastan Suomi paljon! On the badder side of things, Tumblr has now decided that artists can't express themselves if it contains not safe for work stuff. It'll be flagged, and you'll lose the things you've fought for. You might think "why does it affect you?" Which I&

Hello dear petals! How have you been? Good news of today: anyone can comment on the blog already, you don't have to be connected with google plus anymore! It took me a while to figure out what I was doing wrong but hey, we're always learning! Do you guys know what I do when I'm upset? I grab myself a real nice cup of home-made cappuccino and drink it with cookies. Like this. And the glitters too. My favorite one is this: I see this as a revenge on myself because it's highly caloric. It's not that I am a calorie or gym, I'm actually a lazy couch potato who secretly has a pile of clothes to iron. *angel emoji*. But since I've learnt what actual fatness feels like, I've been extra careful. That's also one of the reasons why I haven't quit my job yet. Speaking of job and the theme of the post today is: people who can't fucking understand what a 'no' means. I've dealt with this in the past, but not so much to a

Rock and Roll is dead. I wanted to start by saying this because I figured that no one else understood it. Currently, people are desperately trying to cling to a rock-ish blend with hip hop, which simply doesn't fucking work. It's like trying to make fetch happen. There are still a selected few of us who like most persistent, headstrong people, still rely on the 70's-2006's for the sanity of their ears (and brains). So it isn't unusual that people would recognize the tattoo on my arm. However, also loads of people (mostly younger or of my age) ask what does it mean, because it's a) in a foreigner language, b) when you try to read it, it probably doesn't sound like one of the greatest hits of all time - Here I Go Again. The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj, XXXTemptation all have that goth vibe that I can't put my finger on why. No offense to anyone. Black suits everyone. But when I see mainstream artists wearing it, I kinda feel like everyone is

Hello my petals! It's hasn't been long since my last post but I already know the subject for this one. Your Dear Tatsume here had an epiphany about why everyone looks goth now a days. So much that it has become normalized. So much that my very first post about the Goth/Alternative approach makes no sense at all. Prove of this is images such like this: Back then, that is how I used to wear eyeliner and shadow, not so much the fake lashes, kinda creep me out, still. (Imagine if one gets in your eye... Imagine if one gets in your eye WHILST USING CONTACTS. THE HORROR. 🙈🙈🙈) Back then, I used to be frowned upon for using such bold make up, like reddish toned shadows (because Gerard Way did), so I got called a "freak" several times on the street and asked if I were sick countless times because of it. Now it's seen as a way of self expression and no one pays attention. It's okay to make a "Helena" inspired make up tutorial and upload i

Hello sweet Sakura petals! I have some really important news for you. At least they are, to me. I mean... Inspiration hit me since yesterday, but then this morning I saw the newest Dumbo trailer and completely lost it.. *long, sad face*. Why would anyone do a live action of Dumbo, cast Colin Farrell, Eva Green and a bunch of A-List actors who actually don't fit the roles? I haven't even seen Dumbo, nor want to. The only Disney Movies I care about are The Lion King and The Emperor's New Groove. (To be honest, the second one is the greatest animated movie of all time). Tim Burton you're being one of the biggest disappointments of my 25 years of life. I realized how over rated Nightmare Before Christmas actually is, and now it kinda makes me nauseous. Perhaps because it's always on TV now and people think it funny seeing Jack, who has become an icon for Halloween and cosplaying him all the time, although I have a dark personality and that's one of the

That's right. When you look at this, what do you see? "Omg, it's miso soup!!" right? Yeah sure, it is. We all assume that is the tastiest thing on the planet. It's actually not. It tastes like fish (because of the seaweed), smells like alcohol (which I had to boil to a point of exhaustion to make sure it evaporated) and otherwise tastes like absolutely nothing. Add a bit of soy sauce, it tastes ONLY like soy sauce. When I went shopping the other day, I saw these ready-to-go Miso soups in a sachet: It looks yummy on the photo, so I thought "that's a good fast Japanese meal" (because I'm somewhat lazy to cook). Upon reading the ingredients, which I should have done instead of buying it on a whim, I read in bold " contains alcohol " to my dismay. I've mentioned this before, I'm Straight Edge. Alcohol and me do not combine. Everyone in the videos mentioned "do not boil". But I did. Otherwise how would th

Did I mention I was going to post everyday? ARGH. Now I can't get my word back can I? *sobs* It gets really hard to construct and publish something when the computer is not yours, so you can't be there all the time you need to construct the texts. *sobs a lil' more* Sorry guys (if anyone actually reads this crappy spot). I now have an email for inquiries/contacts/ etc. Hit me up if you feel like talking! deartatsume@gmail.com Onto the actual post. Music AND video to escort you this post: "If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere that's what they say." Thing is, Alicia... It's not only New York. New York is mean, streets aren't clean, no one's a smol bean but thing is, it's also a city of big opportunities. Meaning, if by any chance you are on the right place at the right time, you'll make it. What I say is, if you can make it where you are, you can make it anywhere. Whether it's in New York, China, jfc, Vietnam

I find those motivational speakers really funny. "Travel the world and become a Digital Nomad. Uh.. What they say: What I see: *gonna be crucified for this one too* I . DON'T. LIKE. TRAVELING. Anyway, getting to the point; The shit about all this is, don't quit your job unless you have something in mind or another job in sight (youtube/blogging/vlogging isn't a choice) because let's be real - the economy is still walking on a crutch and imagine you quit on a whim and you will have to beg at their feet again for another opportunity. What you want is: thanks for your time, but I've found something better/more stable/ better paying to do. So if by ANY chance you'll ever get back to your old job, you'll have a place. What really happened: I've started working on this company in August last year, when I moved to Lisbon. I couldn't find a job near my home (in a rural area), and as I have relatives in the city (because let's face

First of all, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! So yesterday I found out about this great video; *Here's the continuation* Dang, I haven't been so inspired since yesterday's cat post. (Just kidding.) You really need to hear this video out if you are interested in this world. But out of all the videos on this matter and having my interest spiked up because of this particular video , I felt like I needed to write about it, as I'm continuously learning on the matter and it's truly fucking fascinating. Excuse my swear words. I understand that people see videos about what they are particularly interested about. That's why "Gucci Gang" and whatevs are so famous. Wait... IS THAT IT? I mean, is society that much obliterated to the point that that dude has more followers than Ted Talks . So I'm assuming people pay more attention to handbags and having material objects than to actual intelectual talks. There's an audience for all. People could be bot

Oh no, I'm going to be hanged because of this one. Unpopular opinion: Not everyone likes cats. I mean, come on. Look at these little pests that do nothing but harm those around them: No, I'm not being funny. I honestly cannot see where those animals make great living pets. I had several cats over the years when growing up. Confessing, I don't recall enough that time. Although in recent years, I did try to rescue one, he was so cute and calm. My sister called it "Ed". But it had a brother, which was a very shameless, invertebrate version of Ed that climbed everywhere and made a mess all the time.* I realized that I simply cannot sleep with animals that I cannot understand where they are with my eyes closed (Kitty Softpaws y'all). Gives me the creeps to see my bedroom door moving or to hear that something's walking on my houses' laminated floor. Like this. And imagine having multiple cats: Fucking creepy. Dogs are brute. You w

It's late in the morning again. I'm thinking about what to write that would make whoever visits this blog interact with me and since it's been 3 days since I last uploaded a post (sorry, I work part time and it's so dreadful, I'm physically drained after just 5 hours), so you'd assume that I have something reaaaaally special prepared. I actually don't. Yesterday after getting back from work at almost two o'clock pm (I leave at 1 pm and it's just around the corner, just so you know), we lunched and I've passed out on my sister's bed. That's how tired I am. Makes me wonder if I can ever get a full time job without having my soul sucked, dementor like. So if I don't post in like a week, please assume I'm dead in an alley. So, here goes; Back in the day I used to think there were a lot of celebrities, because whenever I turned out to, always somewhere were talking about someone famous. I had no idea what pink magazines we
