Random post-sleep picture of my ahoge

Other random details about me is in the about section, in the navigation above.

Hello to anyone new to my blog, and welcome back to those who once visited here!
To those who checked my blog before this "revamp", I hope you like it now! To those who are newcomers, welcome! I go by Remi and I don't bite.

It's official. Winter is over and Spring just started. Also, today was "Student's day". It's a mini holiday. People do work and do their usual stuff, but for us students we don't have classes.

I slept until late morning and then went to work. My brother's girlfriend had texted me on my way to work that she'd be making dinner tonight, so because I was in a good mood I decided to bake and arrange a simple cake. I was only out for two hours before getting back home. Chatted with some friends and then went to the supermarket. I bought some really delicious strawberries. ^^

Then, while doing the dishes, I had a small accident. I don't even know how it happened, but a knife was pointing upwards and it poked my wrist. The injury isn't that serious, but it was quite close to my vein.

 Dinner was.. (forgot its actual name), but it's pretty similar to Shabu Shabu (しゃぶしゃぶ), which is a type of Japanese hotpot. Of course I helped!

Before cooking!

Dessert was my strawberry and fresh cream cake. It has been soooo long since I last made a cake! It was light a fluffy. ^q^

A rushed photo because we all wanted to eat it asap!

Last but not least in this post, I received a pretty rose! I was really surprised to actually get one! *^^*

Pretty pretty rose!

Bonus:
My day was ruined due to my phone's SD card malfunctioning and now it says it's blank. I had moved my phone's photo to the SD card a few days ago and now they're all lost. /sob.

I'd like to write down the dreams I had today before I forget them.

It's kind of weird. They might have some kind of deeper meaning, at least more than just a product of my imagination.

I had a dream in which I'd have a class party planned but I was given out homework. I had to bring something related to the country I'm currently living in, that could contribute to the said party. I bought a package of ice cream but I ended up eating them in some way, and had to buy another box yet it was too late as all the shops were closed. I think this dream is related to me procrastinating everything? My middle school crush was there too, but I no longer feel anything towards him, so it was just normal.

Then I'd suddenly be in this big music festival, my favourite band was there, the band of my high school senior was there too, and some other artists that I can't remember. I'd be cheering and fangirling over my band and the singer gave me two guitar picks! I was so, so happy because one was for me and I'd give the other one to my brother as he likes that band too and we both play(ed) guitars. Too bad it was just a dream.

Then I woke up and went back to sleep because I wanted to be with the band again. ;_; However, I dreamt about another thing.

I can't be very detailed about this one, but someone I'd constantly talked to appeared in it almost by the end. The dream itself was somewhat mysterious and a little scary for me, but I wouldn't call it a nightmare. I was with a group of people, either people I know (or kind of know), or fictional characters. There was a legend going that if you dove into this lake-like pool and found the "sparkling secret", you'd be punished for two years and would later see something worth the wait. The lake-pool was indoors, which was part of a stage or theatre (I can't really explain this). There was no light either.

We thought it was just some random fake legend, but somehow believed there was a treasure lying deep in that lake. So all of us dove in, and got out after some time. Some of us and I tried once more, and I saw something. Another person reached out for it, and as it shone brightly I was pulled out by force to the centre of the deep lake, still under water. I was chained to the ground. I was the one to be punished for two years. (Usually, when a dream seems odd, I'd be able to tell and wake up if I wanted but this wasn't the case). I was still under water, how was I supposed to survive for two years to be able to see the worthy reward?

Moments later I found myself seeing the light again, as if my body was waking up from a slumber. I can't tell how much time passed seeing just black, mind you, this is still within the dream. My eyes wide opened realising I was still under water, and right after, I was pulled up by the chains..by force again, to some sort of chamber right up still in the centre of the lake. And I saw something really phenomenal, I can't even describe it. I saw galaxies and stars, dancing in the most beautiful way. I don't know where I saw something similar for it to appear in my dream, but it was sparklingly beautiful.

After that scenery faded away, I looked down to figure out how I was supposed to go ground-floor again, and to my surprise the people that were with me were waiting for my return. They all had been trying to break the shackles that had me attached to the ground deep in the lake.

The chamber suddenly started to crumble, and chains were sent flying all over the place. The theatre was surrounded by windowed walls, by the way. Most of the chains broke these windows that had papers with drawings and doodles sticked to some of them. I jumped and somehow got down to the ground, and there.. the person that I'd constantly talked to (a real person) ran towards me, asking if I was alright. I was in shock, because we had suddenly stopped talking to each other, and then there he was in this dream. I felt like crying. I had missed this person so much. I had wondered why he suddenly stopped talking to me. I felt bad because I never initiated a conversation with him as I'm terribly shy and I get scared that I might get ignored (this is in fact true). Seeing this person made me realise that this was a dream, and I was soon to wake up. I was standing in utter shock, while this person was on his knees hugging me, showing a worried expression on his face. I said no words, my dreamy eyes were about to cry. I looked around just to be able to remember all of this before the whole place crumbled down (meaning the dream/sleep was about to be over). Right in front of me, I could see my drawings pierced through by the spear-like chain. I couldn't see what was drawn, but I am certain it was something I drew.

Um.. the place was something like this(?):

So there they are. These are the dreams I had today. After re-reading all of this, I think I liked this person I last saw in my dream. But maybe it was just an interest, or he just appeared because I'm still wondering what happened to him. I don't know. What is the secret message?

I can tell the first dream portrays my anxiousness of not being able to present a complete homework, and the second part is because I've always wanted to get something for me and my brother, from that band. But what about the latest dream? Why was I punished? Why two years? What's the meaning of those chains, the whole deep lake, the pierced drawings and that person?

I apologise I skipped July's journal! So even though it's August already, today's post is sort of a resume of what happened on the past month.

[!] - This post refers to my 'online' life unless stated.

Ever since I joined the server/game rTO back in the middle to the end of June, I never had the opportunity to fully open myself to others. I didn't really have the people to call 'friends' but I would occasionally talk to the people I saw in the game's PvP.

It had been almost 3 years and a half since the last time I played TO (trickster online), and although it's not the same server, the game was still the game as I remembered, obviously with some adjustments (but you get the idea).

I wasn't able to find my old friends (except one) or close guildmates, but I re-encountered people that somehow remembered me, and of course new friends! I joined this server a little too late, though. Many people had quit months to years back leading the server to be less populated.

Some players afk-vend, some have multiple characters and play them at the same time, and some are active players. The main map/town is what I like to call the "zombie town". They are alive, but they're also dead.

The story:

Well, this isn't that random, it was just a coincidence.

On my latest post, I mentioned how I was struggling with studying history for my test, but there was another reason why I couldn't focus on studying.
You see, that same day, a history teacher from my high school passed away. He wasn't my teacher, as I chose chemistry over history but from what I could see and hear, he was an extremely nice person. He shared his experience as a journalist with the whole school and I'm sure he did it with great heart. He died of cancer, and it's such a shame he had to leave this world like that.

But why would that affect my concentration? Let me tell you. Last month, the last history teacher I had in high school had also passed away. I am not aware of what caused his death, but I'd like to believe it was just because he was old enough and not because of some sort of illness/accident.
I had him for two years before choosing chemistry, and he was such a funny teacher without the intention of doing so. He was old but a genius. He knew all about wars and revolutions. He knew history just like counting one, two, three.

I'd like to say, rest in peace Mr. Donald Mathews and Mr. David Boldt, you will be missed.

Now this. The big coincidence I was talking about.

March 13 2011, my grandmother. March 15 2015, my history teacher, Mr. Donald Mathrews. April 12 2015, history teacher, Mr. David Boldt.

So for some reason, they're all on Sunday and the third row of the calendar.
The two men were history teachers. Two of the three were old enough. All of them will be missed.

Yeah, you can call me weird, but I got goosebumps when I found out this pattern.
