⋆˙cozy week(s) with all my hobbies | movies, new games, physical media haul & more

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:14][music] >> Hey guys, welcome back or welcome to my channel. Hope you guys are having a wonderful day and a wonderful life, of course. As promised, I have another cozy vlog for y'all, all shot on the Insta360 Go Ultra camera in the first week. I've been slowly decorating my room again, so you may see some new things. The macro lens for this camera finally came. It was so hard to get since it was always sold out, but I wanted to hurry and test it out in this video for y'all. The thing with these small action cams is that when it comes to close-up shots, it won't capture everything. Sometimes some things look blurry. [music] So, I thought the macro lens would help in this vlog, but I could honestly go without it. You have to update the camera and manually change the settings when you're using a lens or not. So, there was a lot of times where I forgot to change it back and it just made my clips look a little bit blurry or off.

[00:01:04]It only cost $10, so I don't feel like I wasted my money, but I still don't think it's worth it unless you want to get close-up pictures. [music] I actually just came back from getting my oil changed, so I spent hour playing Pokémon Pearl on my DS Lite. Since getting my Switch 2, I was mainly focusing my time on that, but I didn't want to bring big mama with me and feel self-conscious about it. And since Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream was coming out the week after I filmed this vlog and I already completed the demo, I spent majority of the week checking [music] in with my Miis on the 3DS version. It kept me from going insane and I'm super grateful for it.

[00:01:38]I know you know.

[00:01:42]I heard that Lloyd wants to be friends.

[00:01:47]I always got to think about that.

[00:02:06]>> Your friends now.

[00:02:39]So I have to keep it real. I haven't been playing Poké Park like that since Tomodachi Life came out. I just don't have that much time, especially picking up some other games. I've been focusing on some other things. So later that night, I wanted to plan the next week in my journal, but had to play a little bit more with Tomodachi Life. I added some more Miis via the QR code feature, which kind of sucks that we don't have that feature anymore in the new one. We can still exchange Miis and items, but only via local play. There's also no concert hall, and I wish there was a little bit more of extra content and more variety of games. I see a lot of people saying that we might face the same issues with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and I hope that isn't the case. So as y'all have been seeing, I have committed to journaling. I got this big old container with all of my stationery things from Michael's 2 years ago. I usually like to make my spreads 2 to 3 weeks in advance, but there has been times where I do forget and just do it the same week. But I definitely like pre-planning my weeks and having my postcard and stickers all out cuz it makes things easier. When I'm journaling, I usually like to listen to Erika Denair TV or Rodney the Voice on YouTube, so that way I can be focused on what I'm doing versus trying to keep up with what's going on the screen cuz the way my ADD is set up, no, ma'am.

[00:03:53]>> [music] [music] >> An hour later, I went ahead and checked in with some of my meds, read the same sci-fi series I mentioned in my last vlog, and fell right to sleep.

[00:04:26]>> [music] >> The next day, I went to GameStop to pay for my pre-order of Tomodachi Life, and later went to go watch Me, You, and Teskey D. It was only five of us. Since I placed the order at 2:00 p.m., there was only four other people in the theater, so the audience was lacking, but it definitely gave 2000 rom-com, so I still had a great time. I apologize.

[00:04:53]Well, thank you. Okay, guys. So, it has been a couple of weeks now since I've, you know, been updating you with what's going on right now. So, I decided just do a sit-down for this because I think it's been a well over 2 weeks, I think, since I recorded my last clips of this vlog. I had some extra clips, but I decided to scrap it because I didn't like the way that it was looking, and I was just not going to be happy with it and putting it out out there.

[00:05:18]So, I decided to scrap it. Um, this is the camera that I was using, again.

[00:05:23]That's what I was using. I've put this up to sell on eBay for like 2-3 days, then I took it down cuz I'm like, let me give it another try. I don't know how I feel about it. I did mess around with the settings a little bit, just like how I did with the extra auto that I'm recording on right now, and it's not bad. It's just that in some of those clips, especially if I'm doing a sit-down right here, I prefer my extra auto. I just love the way that it's like set up. I don't know, like, if I was to do a sit down video with this one, I feel like I would look off because I would be looking at the viewfinder which is up instead of down like this how this one is. And right now I try to focus like looking at the actual camera on this rather than the viewfinder because I don't want to look too crazy in my eyes looking cross-eyed and all that. So I'm down here going to fill you guys in, I'm going to yap a little bit and then after this clip we're going to start up and we're going to be recording mainly with I feel like the X from use which is her right here. I keep her in this right here as you guys know because um with these cameras, whether it's this one, the DJI, the gimbal is very sensitive. So well I keep this in it at all times when I'm not recording. Once I'm done recording I would like go ahead and hurry up and um put this back on her. When I'm going to be doing that, I feel like with this one it's going to give me the shots that I'm typically used to getting. Before with my cozy blogs I was using my Google Pixel 6, I believe. But I went ahead and sold it because I was like I already have too much stuff, I want to get rid of it. Um I was only using that for the camera um alongside with the Z Flip 5.

[00:06:54]But I sold it and the person that bought it didn't put their PO box. So it's like kept in USPS and I don't feel like picking it up because honestly they already get my money back and I just don't really care. [music] So some of the nice shots, the nice little shots that I took like on my desk or whatever, it was because of those phones and with these smaller action cameras, I can't really get those shots anymore. Like if I'm trying to get like the corner of my Kindle or something, it looks blurry, it doesn't look good.

[00:07:23]And I don't like it even if I was to take a little shot of my D boom little pixelated radio thingy or whatever, it doesn't give the same vibes that it used to do and I like to do like little cute little shots here and there. So yeah, so that's what I'm going to do. So in between the time that I've been gone, I already got the new game for the Tomodachi Life. This is my copy. The same day that I went to go pick it up from GameStop, there were like another two people, actually just one person, in front of us and behind us that got their pre-order as well. And I even saw a palm tree big old plush thing. So, I bought the one for my sister the same day as well. I think I've only paid $20 because my brother gave me a GameStop gift card for my birthday and I was able to use that for this. So, I got this for $20 instead of the 60. And then afterwards, I went ahead and picked up my brother's from Best Buy cuz my father pre-ordered his cuz I didn't feel like paying for everybody's and then my sister came through Amazon the same day. Probably like 2-3 hours after we got ours from the store. So, it didn't take that long for her to come either. So, this is my switch too. I also gave it a makeover recently with the buttons. I shall swap the buttons myself and [music] the the shell as well. So, it's all in white and then I have these like cute little buttons from kawaiifans.com.

[00:08:37]The thumb grips are from GeekShare. And on the back, I added the matcha color buttons, which looks very similar to my older one. And I just added a decal on the back for now. I am thinking of swapping that one out as well for a white shell on the back. And then, I also got this nice case from Planbo.

[00:08:56]This one is a grip Well, it's not a case, a little grip thingy that you can just slide off and slide on. And it also comes with a cover as well. But since I have the skin applied on here, it's going to like make it lift a little bit on trip. So, I'm not going to use that for now. And this is also dockable and then it comes with these thing here that whenever you slide it up, it doesn't mess with this right here. So, I like it. I think it cost like $33. I also got me a blue one, but they did send this over for me to try out and make a video on it. So, I already did a reel. I just have to edit it. But by the time you see this video, it's probably already up. So, yesterday, funny enough, I actually went ahead and added another resident and he is Robert III.

[00:09:41]Um this is also make a mess so if y'all played this this patch which I was finally able to finish I believe Monday.

[00:09:49]I played it, loved it down and I also decided to give Robert his dog. I actually made the dog first. I made Beef first because I knew that I was going to make him so let me show you Beef.

[00:10:02]I'm not really the greatest at drawing animals but I did my best and literally immediately once >> [music] >> I was done with him and he was in the house Robert um he was like I would like a pet someone to like talk to that can't talk to me back or whatever so I was like okay, perfect opportunity.

[00:10:19]But these are the things I've made so far. I haven't made that much since the last video that I did. I did cursed Kirby Air Riders. I added Once Upon a Broken Heart. Dress Up In Your Garbage cuz the first book I added was mate and then I added the C CTRL album from SZA and the Anti album from Rihanna.

[00:10:41]I kind of like lazy out on both of them.

[00:10:42]I didn't do the best so but that's okay.

[00:10:45]So I've been having a really fun time with this. I really like it. I [music] am trying to figure out what other games I want to play right now so I'm thinking I'm either going to get my Steam Deck out again or probably going to pick this game up which is Batman: The Telltale Series version because I've just been really obsessed with these type of games and you guys know that I love The Wolf Among Us which when once I decide to play it again I'm definitely going to play it on my PS3 versus my PS Vita this time and I'm just really excited to get into this one. I have the Tony Zaret cheese um playlist cuz he's currently playing it right now but I want to just like this patch I want to be able to play this first and then see how other people played it but for the most part I kind of play like Tony and Berlize when it comes to these um type of game. So, I don't know.

[00:11:38]I know a lot of people get like really mad with their with the things that they choose or whatever, but ask me if I care.

[00:11:44]Right, don't. And so far, I know in my last vlog, I played a little bit on my PSP 3000, but I haven't had the urge to play it so far. I have You guys already know that I played um Persona 3. That's like the main game that I'm playing right now on my PSP. I want to go back and play Pata Pon, but I already have that on the Switch, but I just haven't started yet, and I don't know. The thing that sucks that with a lot of these ports or these new new games that are from the same franchise that you played on other um consoles or older consoles, it's like sometimes you have to figure out if you want to play it on the console that it came out with or the newer version. So, this is Disgaea. I only put This is my first game play, so I've only have 8.5. When I tell you guys this game like was a breeze, and it was so freaking good. Oh, I meant to go back. Honestly, don't believe that I played this for 8 hours. It felt like I played this for only like 4 hours. I don't know. It's really good. I definitely want to go back because for Etna, I she wasn't [music] She reverted back to being a villain.

[00:12:47]And I'm like, "What the freak?" So, but I found out that during Disgaea, you have to level her up all the way um high and use her or like take her out in a lot of the missions or whatnot, but I didn't really do that. I didn't know that was a thing. So, I have to redo it again, but I usually wait a couple of months for me to do that so that way um cuz you know my memory is not the best.

[00:13:07]So, that way the game doesn't really feel like a chore like I'm doing all over again like, "Oh my gosh, like I already did this today today," but another game that I probably might get into soon is the Road to Empress.

[00:13:19]Um and this one is based Let me see what it says here. It is a cinematic palace adventure where your choices decide everyone's fate, just like the other games that I mentioned. Tackle multiple story branches and a high mortality rate with charm, wisdom, and courage. First Survive. So, I think this one you're like you're playing as a concubine in one of the um Chinese eras. I forgot the era what it's called. Or everybody wants to kill you and it's very messy. I never was into C-drama.

[00:13:45]I [snorts] was more into K-drama and I've also occasionally watched a lot of Filipino drama as well. Those are like slept on. So, I'm probably going to play that. I'm going to see what other games I want to play. I've been meaning to play Fields of Mysteria again. And then also Salty Salty Hound, which is a dating um sim game as well. I think it just came out with another update. It doesn't receive that many updates that much cuz this one they just went through a lot. So, I'm going to be playing that again. I'm not sure um if I'm going to be showing you guys me playing this week. I don't know how my week is going to be um next week, so. But, I also got me some this accessory that I've been waiting for a long time, this charging case from Belkin. This is the charging case Pro for the Switch too.

[00:14:33]I haven't heard anything bad about this so far. I'm excited to try this because I definitely have been noticing that the um charging life on this or the battery life on the Switch too isn't the best compared to the OLED.

[00:14:47]But, I can't be entirely mad because depending on like the games, if you're playing like really demanding games like Red Dead Redemption or RE9.

[00:14:56]I mean, it kind of comes with the territory even with the Steam Deck. If you're playing those heavy games, you're not going to get like a crazy amount of life time with those books. So, I forgot to show you guys earlier speaking about accessories. I also got me a new stylus for Tomodachi Life. This one is honestly the best. I 1000% recommend getting this one. I'm going to list it down below.

[00:15:16]But, both sides are good. This is like way better than the one that I was using before. It makes life so much easier.

[00:15:22]Drawing is just so much easier. And I also got me the AYN Thor.

[00:15:27]Haven't um customized it I haven't customized yet, modded the um interface, added the games, none of that. This is just in stock right now and it looks really really nice. I'm trying to decide what games I want to add on here. I definitely feel like this one might be my go-to device for playing a lot of Steam games cuz a lot of people have been using this for that and I know for sure that my second play through of Death's Breath I'm going to be playing on here and it's going to be a fun time.

[00:15:52]I think I actually didn't turn this on.

[00:15:54]This is what it looks like. The next time you guys will see her, she will be all decorated and really pretty. Um it took about like 3 months for me to get it. At first I wasn't really super excited about getting it, but we're going to see how I feel. I know I'm not going to play 3DS games on here like that. Maybe maybe not. You guys already know that I have a lot of 3DS consoles, so it doesn't really make any sense. But yeah, I will add some 3DS games for the review just so you guys can see how it runs and that way I can let you guys know if it's worth [music] it or not for 3DS, which honestly off the bat already I'm going to say yes, it is from the videos I already saw. And then lastly just to keep you guys updated and posted on what I'm reading.

[00:16:31]Um the same series, but different book.

[00:16:33]I'm now on book four. This one is also my Kindle Paperwhite. Is this the 11th edition? I don't know. This one's the one that I got in 2019, I believe. So okay, so far there's eight books. So I'm on the fourth one and it's been going really well. I'm on 74%. I read a lot yesterday. This one is about one of the other brothers that we were introduced in [music] the second book. So he's like the guard of Tremaine or something like that. I forgot what the place is called. And he had to go and save the other human. I think I mentioned it in my last one, I don't remember, but save the other human that escaped alongside the last book, which was book three. So we [music] are reading her story and his as well. So right now it's going really good. I have no complaints about it. It's just been very entertaining. I already her off several times in my video. I think I did a makeover on this one. I don't really do that much makeovers on my e-readers.

[00:17:25]Like once I do it, I keep it looking the same for like several months to a year.

[00:17:28]I don't really care about changing the way that it looks um according to the seasons. I'm not that type of person anyway, so that's why I don't do it. And then right here I have a skin so this one is the agave green one with a skin um applied in the front. So this one has been working really well.

[00:17:46]I don't have any issues with this one. I was reading on my basic matcha one. As you guys know, a couple days ago I didn't know that it died and I thought it stopped working cuz I was turning it on and the screen was fine and the button was turning on for like a second, but I found out that it wasn't charged.

[00:18:00]So I decided to read on this. The only thing is that whenever you're whenever you're mainly reading on a 6-in e-reader, it kind of takes some adjusting to go back to a bigger screen because the words are like more spaced out and bigger. So I had to get kind of used to it. I still prefer my 6-in e-readers versus this one. I think this one's like 6.7 or 7 in. I don't remember. But honestly, it really depends on the person. Some people prefer bigger e-readers, but I I go between the two and it's not that big of a deal, but again, I prefer the other one versus this one. So I'm probably going to still talk about this book in this video. You guys are mainly going to see me read it as well. I do want to go back and read my mangas that I was reading which were Sweat and Soap and I have a crush at work. I was reading that on my Books Palma 2 Pro, but I decided to sell it only because I just wasn't going to use it enough and I wanted to get somebody the opportunity to be able to get their hands on that one for a little bit less because I know other people prefer like the really smaller e-readers versus this one. So I was like, let me go ahead and do that cuz this year I'm trying to like not hold on to a lot of things. I've been deciding to sell a lot of my tech, whether they're that I bought myself or the ones that I get gifted cuz I don't want to hold on to them too much and I don't have the space for it either. And honestly, other people can enjoy it more than me and show it love, so that's what I've been doing so far.

[00:19:26]>> [music] >> I actually started recording again a week after my sit-down, so I started out my week on Sunday and cleaned the kitchen a bit more before going to the gym for an hour or so. I know in my first vlogs, I recorded myself working out at home, but I have social anxiety, so you will never see me recording my gym sessions at an actual gym. I just came back from the gym. I took a shower.

[00:19:47]Also received a new movie in the mail today, so I wanted to show you the ones that I've gotten um for the past 2 days.

[00:19:55]So, the first one here is Cars 2.

[00:19:58]I have the first one. I think we had one of my cousins um burned a DVD for us to watch at home, so I don't think we ever had the actual [music] copy of it. And I also got this one here, Practical Magic. I never watched this movie growing up like at all. I don't think I ever did. So, because the second movie is coming, this reminded me that I wanted to get my hands on this one. I could only get away with watching so much witch type of movies like Twitches and Harry Potter, so that was the bare minimum I was allowed to watch growing up.

[00:20:30]So, I'm excited to finally watch this one. Then I have Jump In! Keke Palmer and Corbin Bleu.

[00:20:37]Watching the High School Musical movies reminded me of about this movie. I was like, "Wait a minute, I don't have this movie yet." And I was like really, really obsessed with this movie. It even got me into double dutching and I learned how to do it thanks to this movie, so this one's a great one. I can't wait to rewatch it and watch it with my siblings so they can get um to know about this movie. Here we have The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. I don't think I ever watched this one. I really don't remember much of it. I might have, but I don't remember anything. So, I decided to get this one.

[00:21:06]I'm I'm also on the hunt on getting sequels that came along with these movies that I never got into it. I know there's like a two and a half or or a third one, I don't remember. I might get the one later down the road, but I definitely do want to watch this. Then this is the one I just got today, um Joyful Noise. Baby girl, this is Keke Palmer.

[00:21:25]And then we have Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah. This was one of the movies we watched. This one came out at the same time as this next movie, Rags, that I have here. I have like a feature two film one. And maybe Keke Palmer was that girl. She's always that girl, but especially around this era right here.

[00:21:41]If I remember correctly, this one was a fun like Christian-based movie, I guess you could say.

[00:21:47]They did like remixes of like modernized music that's like out there on radio and whatever, so or secular music. So this one was pretty fun. I want to rewatch this again.

[00:21:58]And yeah, this was actually my mom's, one of my mom's favorite movies to watch, so.

[00:22:03]So yeah, this is the one that we watched yesterday, Rags. And I love whenever they come with like two or three films in one DVD. Bang for your buck, you know what I mean?

[00:22:12]So I watched Rags with my siblings. They like this one. Um like my favorite songs were like the one at the end, the I Love You, was it Love You, Hate You? And then Someday. I played that one like through and through growing up. So and I have Big Time Movie, which I really need to get the DVDs for the series cuz that's like one of my favorite series on Nickelodeon.

[00:22:31]And I really did like them. Then we have Mulan 2.

[00:22:35]I don't think I watched this one growing up. And it sucks cuz I wish I did. So again, I'm trying to get the sequels and the other movies. I don't know if there's another one from Mulan, but I'm excited to watch this one. And again, Little Mermaid 2, Return to the Sea. This one for sure I didn't watch. I had no idea this was a thing and I was obsessed with Little Mermaid, so I don't know how this escaped my radar. And even my mom's because my mom also was like a huge fan of these Disney movies. Then the last one I got the first Creed movie. Then I work my way up on getting the other two. I never watched the third one honestly. I'm going to be recording a real right after I end [music] this video. Cuz I have I finally got my package from JP fans. So I got me a couple of games. I have the Japanese version switch to the Kirby Air Ride game, the Pokémon ZA Legends.

[00:23:27]These are games I was Well, the ZA one I wasn't going to buy with my own money, so it was like a good opportunity for me to add that to my collection. Then I also got me like a Wii game, Rilakkuma one. I think if you have a Wii Fit board, you're able to play that as well. So I'm probably going to play this on my Wii U since that one is on Japan locked. This is like my only copy, my only PlayStation 2 game that I have.

[00:23:52]And since I have the PS3 version, I decided to get this one cuz it was like a dollar and 80 cents, so it didn't hurt. Later in the evening, I wanted to play a little bit on my Wii. I've been really into Guitar Hero lately, so that's [music] what I decided to play again. And yes, I'm starting on easy. I get carpal tunnel when I try extreme or hard mode, so that's not changing anytime soon.

[00:24:32]You're my way.

[00:24:39]You're my way.

[00:24:47]You're my way.

[00:25:04]>> Welcome in.

[00:25:19]Thanks a bunch. tonight.

[00:25:22]My cell phone is in the shop.

[00:25:26]Oh.

[00:25:28]I uh hope they get fixed in for you.

[00:25:33]Um what should I do?

[00:25:36]Nobody's ever seen me singing before.

[00:25:39]Though, I'd be willing to show you.

[00:25:43]Nah, that's all right.

[00:25:46]I've seen enough people singing.

[00:25:49]Not even one more?

[00:25:54]I've always wanted to tell you you could really rock a cyberpunk suit.

[00:26:00]Really?

[00:26:01]That's funny.

[00:26:03]Because my parents raised me to never ever wear a cyberpunk suit.

[00:26:08]Aw.

[00:26:09]Sounds like they're irritating.

[00:26:12]Later in the night, I wanted to fill out what I've done [music] so far this week in my Hobonichi. It was a pretty decent week for me, so I didn't [music] have to vent.

[00:26:23]I also tend to add music in every other month cuz I'm always listening to new music or going back to my old playlist.

[00:26:29]So, so that's what I'm doing here. I made mention a few times on here that I now use my SanDisk MP3 player as my designated music player versus [music] my phone. And of course, I ended up the night reading.

[00:26:47]On the next day, since my hip was sore, I I to stretch at home before starting my day. I ended up editing a recent video I just uploaded, so I spent half an hour on that. A few hours later, I checked up on my peeps on Tomodachi Life, and I also finally received my Invincible DVD copy that I've been meaning to watch for the longest. So, I'm happy I got a physical copy of the series.

[00:27:14]I was also checking up on my Switch 2 games I got from JP fans, so I played about 20 minutes [music] of Pokémon Z.

[00:27:35]>> [music] [snorts] [music] >> I finally got the urge to add another Islander on Tomodachi Life, and since I added Robert, aka Mecha [music] Man from this batch, I wanted to also add Invisible Girl. I went the route with romancing her, even though yes, she is a little bit immature, but I love my girls are mean to men. So, I guess you're going to have to sue me. I was struggling a bit with her for some reason because I wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to draw her hair or not. I get compliments on my drawing, and not going to lie, I always excelled in copying rather than drawing [music] from memory, so I got to have a picture pulled up when creating items, pets, and such things.

[00:28:59]On day three after returning from the gym, I ended up just editing and chilling. My sister got her first palm and pendant, so I wanted to show y'all the merch I've gotten her so far. I only ended up editing for a little bit before eating a snack and watching YuYu Hakusho. Since I'm watching this dubbed, I decided to go ahead and make some spreads for the four weeks in my planner. I decided to try out some new spreads since I normally keep it very basic and kind of bare. It's always very therapeutic and helps my inner child cuz arts and craft was one of my favorite things to do in elementary school.

[00:29:41]>> [music] >> What's going on?

[00:30:06]This is out of the blue.

[00:30:10]Yo, King been keeping me lean.

[00:30:13]Megan Thee Stallion, you're the only one who would ever say something like that to me.

[00:30:18]Thank you.

[00:30:19]Girl, you know me. Say hello to my baby Ponyo. Heffa.

[00:30:25]Girl, my baby Ponyo. This is Nanami.

[00:30:28]Heffa.

[00:30:38]Hey guys, so I have been reading for a little bit. I'm on like page 35, just 10% in this next book, which is book five using Feho. Is that how you pronounce it, Feho or Feho? I think you pronounce it Feho. I don't I don't really remember.

[00:30:55]So, in this one we're following Vanessa, which is another woman that has escaped.

[00:31:00]What I like about her so far right now is that she is different from the other woman cuz she she's not optimistic and she's actually the main one main FMC that has been wanting to go back to Earth to go see her sister because she had I guess a little tongue tussle with her before she got abducted. So, she wants to like kind of like right her wrongs, I guess. So, she has been planning or scheming to participate in the marriage not marriage games. That was the last book. I don't know the whole thing that they the woman on the planet goes and find a husband that they pick. So, they like the men go through a glass.

[00:31:37]Only woman can see them not the other way around. So, the woman go by looks and then they also go look through their charts and see how good they did on cooking, on parenting, um [music] I guess children care.

[00:31:50]And then like some other stuff like communicating or whatever. So, by that they get to pick I think up to three of the males that they choose that they want to, you know, marry or whatever.

[00:31:59]And then there's testing rooms after as well.

[00:32:03]But, right now she made up a scheme a scheme that tops it up that she's going to get married in order for her to go with him because he's a pirate. So, he's like doesn't really get picked a lot because the woman likes their men to be stationary basically and not work all the time.

[00:32:21]So, since he's a pirate, he has to um also like ship things. So, so this mama is about to choose him and get that situated or whatever for her to like sneak out and go to Earth. He has no idea that this is her plan that she's only marrying him just so she can sneak out. So, we're going to see how that dynamic works. So, I think that's pretty entertaining for me so far. And they actually met in the beginning of this book, 2 weeks prior to what's going on right now. Mind you, the passage that I'm reading right now is where the last book kind of ended off just a little bit, besides the epilogue. So, with this series, a lot of them either start from the beginning of where they got abducted or when they were saved or like right here. I think one of my gripes about the series is how fast-paced it is, and I don't really have that issue. Like, I love my books fast-paced or like kind of, you know what I'm saying? All of this is happening in a span of a week in most of them. Some of them are kind of spaced out, but if you're someone that doesn't like whenever something's like happens like too close, like in a couple of days to a week, like that might [music] be annoying a little bit.

[00:33:27]This one seems to be a little bit more spaced out versus the other ones, so I do like the fact the author changed up the spacing [music] on this one cuz I was kind of getting annoyed in the last one. I don't like whenever they kind of repeat the same type of trope, even though that all of them do have the whole [music] faded mates what situation going on. I'm not too mad about it. It's a sci-fi, it's fantasy, so [music] I'm taking it for what it is, so I don't really care that much. But besides all of that, this one is going to be um another fun read. I would say so far between book one to book five or book four, I would say [music] the whole series up to the point where I'm reading right now, I would probably give it between a 3.7 to a 4. [music] I'm going to try not to read too much cuz I did take a sleeping pill. That's all I'm going to be doing before I go to sleep. [music] On the following day after coming back from another gym session, I decided to make my everyday dose mushroom coffee before starting the new episode of The Boys. Since I waited a long time to release this vlog, the season already has been wrapped up. It's finale is already done. I haven't watched it yet because 2 days from now it's going to be released, so I have no idea how my feelings [music] are going to be about it.

[00:34:42]>> What?

[00:34:48]And then the last day I decided to record for this vlog, I took my siblings to go out and eat some lunch. So, I took them out to Chili's only because I was kind of tired of Panera Bread, but we kind of just bought some appetizers and just shared a little bit because we were actually going to go watch the Mario movie this day, but we had to push it back 2 days later, which is okay. And then right after we went to go to the mall. And since my sister is always begging and pleading me to go to Miniso, I decided to go in and see what they got going on, which for me personally, I don't really need that much. I already have too much charms and too much things going on, but it's always fun to browse, especially when there's not that many people there. I also forgot that I actually watched Black Swan the same day. I don't know how I forgot, but I officially finished it all the way through this time. It was pretty good.

[00:35:32]I'm not going to say it's the greatest only because last time I checked the director took this idea from an anime from Japan. I don't know what it was called, but I know that this wasn't his original thought and story.

[00:35:47]Hey you guys. So, I wanted to quickly wrap this video up because I didn't leave any extra clips um at the end of this vlog, so I just wanted to do a quick little sit-down just to run by everything I've been doing for the past 2 weeks since I stopped recording cuz I stopped recording and then I've been editing here and there for the past 2 weeks, but I haven't done that much. I do have a script and like some extra stuff that I have done. But besides that, I've been playing the same games for the most part. So, Tell Me Why You Lie has been the main game that I've been playing on my Switch too and then the occasional Octopia from the Eastward game. I also recently went back to play some Persona a on my PSP.

[00:36:27]So, I was playing that just for a little while on here just like off and on between these 2 weeks. And then I also picked up my new 2DS XL, the orange one of course. I started playing Fire Emblem Awakening cuz I kind of stopped playing it for a while. And the game is fine.

[00:36:44]It's just like it's just very, very drawn [music] out. Even though I do like the Fire Emblem franchise, I do feel like sometimes the story can be a little bit too much. Like it's long-winded.

[00:36:53]Like there's some things that could have been taken out from the story, but otherwise besides that, I have been playing this one off and on.

[00:37:01]I think I've only played Pokémon Moon for like 25 minutes last week.

[00:37:07]So, that's what I've been playing on this one here.

[00:37:09]And by the camera as you guys can see too, it looks different than what I normally shoot it with, which is the extra addle. Right now, I'm using my extra muse.

[00:37:18]Like I already mentioned in the video, I think the first half of the video was with the Insta360 Go Ultra. And then with this one, I mainly use the extra muse alongside the extra addle for a couple of clips. But besides that, the other games that I've been playing has been the Michael Jackson experience for the Wii. I also got it on my um my 3DS and my PS Vita. I got to play my PS Vita just a little bit on that one. But this one is golden just playing with the Wii control.

[00:37:48]It's just so much fun. So, I got my copy. If you have watched my Wii game collection, you guys know that I was like debating on getting it or not. Even though I wish I got it like 2 years ago when when I was initially going to get it. But then I just stopped myself cuz I thought I was done with collecting games.

[00:38:05]But this one is pretty expensive as far as like Wii game goes. This tends to cost about the same as Switch games cost now.

[00:38:14]So, yeah. And the reasoning behind that as well, not only because I love this game growing up, but I also got to watch the movie, the Michael movie. I watched it again last night. This time I took like um my brother and my father because they wanted to watch it, so I went to watch it the second time. Still a fun time. And because of that, I decided to get the CD.

[00:38:35]This is the first one I got. I'm going to work my way onto getting the other ones. I do have the one of Janet's CDs as well, one of her disc, but I don't really collect that much CDs. I'm more into like movies, games, and stuff like that. So, that's my kind of that's my niche or whatever. But the game or the series I've been like really really digging, having such a fun time with, has been the Batman Telltale series.

[00:39:02]This one is season 1. I've put in 13.1 hours. I actually already finished the first series last week, so I'm on the second one, which is The Enemy Within.

[00:39:13]Right here.

[00:39:14]Mhm. [clears throat] Mhm. I think I'm on episode 2. I don't remember. Episode 2 or episode 3. So, I've been enjoying that right now, super duper like hyper fixated on that. I can't wait to get into the other Batman series on the PS3 because I do have Arkham City, but I wanted to play Arkham Asylum, and then there's another Arkham game on the PS3.

[00:39:37]It's also on the PS4, but I want to play this in my room in the bigger screen, so I'm going to do that after I'm done with that one. And then I also got me a new game, which is Baldur's Gate 3.

[00:39:48]Hopefully I'm pronouncing that correctly. I've been waiting a couple of months to get my hands on this game because I was just waiting on it to be on discount again cuz the last time it was, I think it was like 39, 38, so I was able to get it for like under 40, I think this time around. I have no idea. But you guys know how much I love Dispatch and The Wolf Among Us, so if you love Dispatch, you play The Wolf Among Us, or you're playing it currently, I would say to give Batman Telltale series a try. It's so freaking good. It's like you're watching a movie but like you're part of the movie of course because you're making the decisions and everything and it's just like so the writing is so freaking good.

[00:40:25]So freaking good. But yeah, that's what I've been doing lately. I've been actually playing this docked and I've been using my PS5 controller. This her right here. Actually forgot I had this one cuz I do have an all pink one.

[00:40:36]But this one's so pretty. I had to take off the sticker that came with it because it was peeling on the top and it was annoying me.

[00:40:42]But this is the one that I like to use alongside my Steam Deck. So I've been using this docked and playing it like this has been really really fun especially on my curved monitor.

[00:40:52]The best time. Also, I'm not sure if I mentioned it in this video or if it was the last vlog or not, but I finally got my accessories for my Switch too. I had said that I wanted this like little desk mat to play with mouse controls for the Switch too. This one you're able to add your all of your Switch games here and then you're able to add this right here.

[00:41:12]Personal loot, this is the company that I got it from and that's the name. But they >> [music] >> they were able to get this out. I don't know if I want to rip this out or not, but that's the only way you can have it in here without messing it anything up in here. I just haven't tried it yet. So with this one you can use the whole mouse control. So if you have like the Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, if you have any FPS games, this is like absolutely perfect for this. And I got me two little dock covers.

[00:41:37]I'm I'm going to see if I can show you guys the one that I have on my desk right now. I've been alternating between the two cuz I'm not sure which one I want on my desk, but this is what it looks like.

[00:41:48]So it will be on the desk right there and then you slide this down onto the dock and that's how it will look like. Okay, and as you guys know, I I'm still reading the Clinquant Ian series. I'm on Yeah, I'm on book six. I think when I started this vlog, I was starting to read the Using Fejo, which is the fifth book of the series. This one was giving very much pirate tease.

[00:42:06]So the fifth book of the series is probably like one of my favorite out of the whole series. Yeah, I using Feijo, the fifth book, is my favorite of the whole series. [music] I love the whole private esque that they had going on. There was a little bit more more action going on, I feel like. But, I did go ahead and start the sixth book, and I'm almost done. I'm like 75% in the book already.

[00:42:28]Cuz I'm not really in a reading mood right now. I've been really focused on playing the Batman Telltale series, like because each episode is an hour 30 [music] minutes, something like that.

[00:42:37]And I've also been going back and watching Berleezy's play through after I finish a episode to see how he played it, and he's very funny, like what the freak. So, I've been doing that, and [music] I don't really have that much time anymore for reading. I try I am still trying to read like a couple of minutes [music] every day. I think I'm keeping up with my streak. Okay, so I'm on day 71. This has been my best streak of all since I've been using the Fable app.

[00:43:03]This is all of May, April.

[00:43:07]So, yeah, I'm 71 days. I've been doing pretty good. I don't know why I started to have like a such a good streak. Maybe cuz the books I'm reading or have been fun, especially the sci-fi ones that I've been reading. But, I'm just trying to at least read a couple of words or a couple of pages before going to sleep, even when if I'm a little bit tired. So, I've been keeping up with that. So, again, I do recommend this book. It has been a It's been really funny. It's been really entertaining. I really like the writing once again. I love the characters that are in it. Some of my least favorite ones would probably be like maybe the fourth one. One of them I think like the third and fourth one were kind of like eh for me.

[00:43:44]But, the other ones have been really good. So, So, if you're also into romance, and if you want to get back into sci-fi or try your first sci-fi series, I think this one's the one. And speaking about series, I also, cuz I forgot. I just remembered. I've also been watching the Off-Campus series. I think I'm on the last like two episodes. I did read the book, even though I don't know how I read those books and I I don't know how I thought they were pretty good.

[00:44:11]Cuz the Off-Campus series and there's this other series that I read that I did not I don't know how and it's crazy because I added those books to my They were probably in my fave 2024 ones. I don't know. See, I have The Office the second book and then The Score. I don't know which one that one is. The only sports book that I would recommend or sports series is The Windy City series from Liz Tomford. Even though the first book was pretty basic in my personal opinion as far as plot goes and whatever. I feel like that one was like the least the most like boring out of all of them. And the fifth one I feel like it was just a little bit too much word style going on. I felt like it was a little bit long-winded as well. It was a little bit longer than it should have been. So, I was kind of dragging my feet on that one, but this one has been the best one as far as sports romance goes.

[00:45:00]And I think I read like another one here and there, but the Off-Campus series when it comes to the books I honestly don't really care for them. Even though I am watching the series, I just wanted to see how they adapted it. It's been okay. It's been It's been pretty entertaining. I'm not going to complain that much. They have changed some of the characters and some like little extra things here that didn't happen in the book or maybe they like exaggerated just a little bit more for the live-action series, but I don't know. I know there's going to be more adaptations of books on Amazon Prime.

[00:45:31]They're going to They have so many going on right now. I know they're going to have The Love Hypothesis, which I also and it's an okay book. It's not my favorite book. I feel like that one was also kind of basic, too, but I am kind of excited to watch the movie even though I don't really like romance movies. I like reading romance, but I just don't like watching them. But, I'm going to do it only because like I read the book. I want to see how they do and how it translates >> [music] >> on film. So, but besides all of that, this is where I'm going to end this video. I don't have nothing else to say.

[00:46:00]Right now I'm kind of feel like in a little slump as far as creating goes.

[00:46:04]Like, I have a couple of ideas, but like executing them right now is just like I just can't do it right now. I'll figure it out. [music] We'll see what it's going to do, but with all that being said, that's going to be all for today's video. Thank [music] you guys so much for watching another cozy-ish hobby vlog with me once again. Please stay safe and take care of yourselves. See you in the next [music] one.

[00:46:25]Deuces.
