horror film recommendations:



this is a japanese one i really like

it’s called “Shikoku” it’s pretty old so i don’t even know if they have the english subtitle version of it but they might.

this film kinda leaves you with a sorrowful and bittersweet feeling. it doesn’t have any cheap tacky bloody gory scenes.

i feel like too much gore cheapens a horror film but that’s just my personal opinion.

gore is usually just used for shock factor so there’s not much depth to it. in other words it’s kinda boring and tacky for me.

this was more of a cinematically beautiful, psychological, spine-chilling, bittersweet type of horror.





Omg, Japanese horror movies are some of the creepiest 😭

yesterday, i found the english subtitle version of the full movie on daily motion if you wanna see it 😅 lol

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8juodj

also someone wrote an english review online :

“The movie tells the story of Hinako. A girl who used to live in a rural village on Shikoku island in Japan. There she was friends with a girl called Sayori whose mother was the priest. Her mother used her in her sick rituals to summon the dead into her body so that people could communicate with their deceased. Both Hinako and Sayori dreamed of leaving the village behind and living their own lives. One day Hinako left with her family for Tokyo leaving Sayori behind. Years later a mature Hinako returns to the island after inheriting a property. She learns that Sayori died but doesn't believe the story she's told regarding the circumstances of her death as she sees her ghost. She begins to unravel the reality of her death as strange things begin happening on the island.

The movie deals with interesting themes considering it's Japan. The movie deals with tradition but in a bad, dark manner, portraying tradition in a negative light, abuse, jealousy, death, life, abandonment, pain and suffering. The movie also touches on the village and the discrepancy with the city life style due to the increased value of tradition and unspoken rules that dominate the village life. The movie also tackles the influence parents have on their offspring and how power-abusive some parents can be in their childrens upbringing.

The atmosphere is sad and gloomy. It's a very melancholic and depressive movie. There's not a lot of tension rather than overabundance of sad feelings and some love on the side. The movie can be a bit of a tearjerker depending on how much you relate to some characters but I'll dive more into that in the spoiler part of this review.”

Well it's about time notifications working again. So far it only working when you quote me, so far.

Anyway those candy corn is a halloween tradition but it can be eaten and seen all across America at anytime of the year. The taste is kinda hard to explain but it has this sweet sugary taste to it with natural flavors. It doesn't taste nothing at all like pumpkin or otherwise I wouldn't like it because pumpkin taste nasty to me unless it's pumpkin pie

Thank you for the link!!! I think I might save it for when I’m in the right frame of mind for it!

I was kinda chuckling to myself last night thinking how many Latinos share similar childhood traumas to the Slavic ppl & while we’re happily trauma dumping as we laugh our behinds off… Japanese ppl be like… hold my beer

I literally have to brace myself physiologically before I enter that level of trauma lol *shudders*

i feel you on that lol

japanese people don’t play when it comes to disciplining lol 😂 my dad’s argentine but i got my ass whooped when i was a kid too so i learned to respect my elders and not cause any issues out in society lmaoo 😂 my dad along with my japanese nanny (closest thing i had to a mom) instilled in me most of the values i have today lol 😆

i heard Slavic parents go all out with the discipline and ass whooping too 😂 some slavic dude on YouTube was doing a parody of it 😂



“when i was your age, i did not have time to overthink. the only thing i think about is how to survive Soviet winter and feed family with five potatoes 🥔 “

You all the way in Japan? Goraaay!! I can't believe I'm talking to someone this far 😄😄😄. Those candies look so good but those apple caramel werther's is no more here in America at least not in my state. I used to like those ones but the hard ones tho I don't think I ever known or seen the soft chewy version. Now you see this the kind of communication I like because I don't like to actually talk in real life I like this right here where I can communicate through writing, texting, on line message boards, sign language anything but talk

yeah, i’m in japan 😂

that sucks that they discontinued the apple caramel.

why don’t you like talking to people in real life?

are you surrounded by people who stress you out?

i like talking to people online too cuz i feel like people are more honest and candid online. don’t you think people are more honest online than in real life?

i can’t do artificial conversations 😂 like, when people start being artificial and performative, i just wanna turn around and leave 😂

my dad barely talks to anyone outside of work 😂he’s proudly anti-social 😂 i actually wanna be more like him and i’m slowly getting there but my people-pleasing ass still feels guilty/bad turning down outing invitations.

in fact, i’m dreading having to go out tomorrow with someone. 😅 i politely declined at first but he was like “well, everybody always says no” like, practically guilt tripping me into saying yes and i felt bad so i said sure. and now i’m regretting it but it’s too late to back out of it now so i guess i’m going 😅 i need to take responsibility for my words and actions 😂

Ugh dude you don't even know half of the reason why I don't like socializing with people face to face. I find it too stuffy for some reason and I just wanna be let go out the social circle amongst being socially awkward and all I be saying in conversations in real life is "yeah, uh-ha, right, right". I don't say much when conversing with people it's a miracle on elm street nobody find me boring to hang around with because I sure as hell find people boring to be with cus I be yawning while conversing with people. Now if these people here where I'm at were to ever talk about a subject like this right here 'autumn' then now we're talking but it seem so many people here like summer the most horrible and miserable season of them all. I don't want no part of summer conversations nor summer vibes.

yeah summer is so humid, scorching hot and nasty lol 😂 i don’t like it either lol being hot and sweating pisses me off lol 😂 i wanna be dry and comfortable and clean and smelling fresh 24/7 😂 but i do love going to the beach tho 🏝️ 🏖️

do you prefer one-on-one interactions to group interactions as an introvert? you mentioned before somewhere that you’re a lone wolf type.

i don’t really like group interactions that much either to be honest lol 😂 i prefer to focus on one person at a time. which is strange considering i’m an extrovert and have an extrovert job too 😂

and like, i get that some people feel more comfortable in groups and stuff but i feel sorta uneasy in groups cuz i don’t like “herd mentality” and groups/cliques often tend to be breeding grounds for “herd mentality”. i wanna think for myself and not be influenced by the group cuz there’s no guarantee that the group/clique even knows wtf they’re doing, right? lol 😅

but i still like talking to people online cuz people tend to reveal things online that they wouldn’t reveal in real life so it’s interesting to listen to people’s actual, unfiltered thoughts on things haha 😆

i don’t really like group interactions that much either to be honest lol 😂 i prefer to focus on one person at a time. which is strange considering i’m an extrovert and have an extrovert job too 😂

and like, i get that some people feel more comfortable in groups and stuff but i feel sorta uneasy in groups cuz i don’t like “herd mentality” and groups/cliques often tend to be breeding grounds for “herd mentality”. i wanna think for myself and not be influenced by the group cuz there’s no guarantee that the group/clique even knows wtf they’re doing, right? lol 😅

but i still like talking to people online cuz people tend to reveal things online that they wouldn’t reveal in real life so it’s interesting to listen to people’s actual, unfiltered thoughts on things haha 😆

Yeah I think summer has its good side after all like seeing sexy women flirting around in their sexy bikinis and g strings so it's good to have and talk about summer vibes in that sense. I'm super crazy about women's legs thighs and feet so you'll see a lot of those cute flip flops going on here. And yes I tend to prefer one on one conversations to a large group of people. While I truly am a lone wolf by nature and will always be but I still display

horror film recommendations:



this is a japanese one i really like

it’s called “Shikoku” it’s pretty old so i don’t even know if they have the english subtitle version of it but they might.

this film kinda leaves you with a sorrowful and bittersweet feeling. it doesn’t have any cheap tacky bloody gory scenes.

i feel like too much gore cheapens a horror film but that’s just my personal opinion.

gore is usually just used for shock factor so there’s not much depth to it. in other words it’s kinda boring and tacky for me.

this was more of a cinematically beautiful, psychological, spine-chilling, bittersweet type of horror.





Omg, Japanese horror movies are some of the creepiest

yesterday, i found the english subtitle version of the full movie on daily motion if you wanna see it 😅 lol

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8juodj</a></a></a>

also someone wrote an english review online :

“The movie tells the story of Hinako. A girl who used to live in a rural village on Shikoku island in Japan. There she was friends with a girl called Sayori whose mother was the priest. Her mother used her in her sick rituals to summon the dead into her body so that people could communicate with their deceased. Both Hinako and Sayori dreamed of leaving the village behind and living their own lives. One day Hinako left with her family for Tokyo leaving Sayori behind. Years later a mature Hinako returns to the island after inheriting a property. She learns that Sayori died but doesn't believe the story she's told regarding the circumstances of her death as she sees her ghost. She begins to unravel the reality of her death as strange things begin happening on the island.

The movie deals with interesting themes considering it's Japan. The movie deals with tradition but in a bad, dark manner, portraying tradition in a negative light, abuse, jealousy, death, life, abandonment, pain and suffering. The movie also touches on the village and the discrepancy with the city life style due to the increased value of tradition and unspoken rules that dominate the village life. The movie also tackles the influence parents have on their offspring and how power-abusive some parents can be in their childrens upbringing.

The atmosphere is sad and gloomy. It's a very melancholic and depressive movie. There's not a lot of tension rather than overabundance of sad feelings and some love on the side. The movie can be a bit of a tearjerker depending on how much you relate to some characters but I'll dive more into that in the spoiler part of this review.”

Thank you for the link!!! I think I might save it for when I’m in the right frame of mind for it!

I was kinda chuckling to myself last night thinking how many Latinos share similar childhood traumas to the Slavic ppl & while we’re happily trauma dumping as we laugh our behinds off… Japanese ppl be like… hold my beer



I literally have to brace myself physiologically before I enter that level of trauma lol *shudders*


click to expand

i feel you on that lol

japanese people don’t play when it comes to disciplining lol 😂 my dad’s argentine but i got my ass whooped when i was a kid too so i learned to respect my elders and not cause any issues out in society lmaoo 😂 my dad along with my japanese nanny (closest thing i had to a mom) instilled in me most of the values i have today lol 😆

i heard Slavic parents go all out with the discipline and ass whooping too 😂 some slavic dude on YouTube was doing a parody of it 😂

“when i was your age, i did not have time to overthink. the only thing i think about is how to survive Soviet winter and feed family with five potatoes 🥔 “

😂



LoL

Indeed, most Slavic kids have memories of having to go pick a branch from a tree with witch to be whipped by. And if you dared to cry, they'd (parents) would say something along the lines of "keep going (cryin) & I'll give you something to cry about!" They weren't joking either!

Oh right, of course,, those exhagared tales of when ones parents were kids themselves & the hardships they had to endure therefore you should be grateful for the curtent life style you are afforded by comparison. The irony is that each time the stories are recycled, they get more & more exaggerated & wild 🤣 Most of us have become immune to emotional blackmail thanks to our parents.

Belts, branches... pretty much anything they can grab first to spank you with its fair game. & flip-flops can miraculously turn corners too but I think the latter is pretty much universal from Latin America, to Asia, Middle East & Balkans 😅

slavic parents making the kid go find the branch is diabolical 😂 and i’ll bet if the kid came back with a skinny branch, the parents would be like “no, go get a thicker one, stop being a little wimp”😂

and yes, don’t even get me started on those “when i was your age” hardship stories of our parents that keep getting more and more exaggerated as time go by 😂

this sounds about right even though my parents aren’t chinese 😂:



“i swam all the way from china for you to be a disappointment” 😂

few weeks ago they said they came on a boat, now they swam 😂 lmaoo

next week they gonna be like “i almost died in the water fighting off a walrus on the way here” 😂

If only discipline were still a thing in America!!! You realize that school bus companies in America are hiring school bus drivers plus “mentors”. It is the mentor’s job on the bus to make sure the kids stay seated on the bus.

This is what I been treating myself with for the autumn season





Those candies is soooo good if you eat just one you can't stop.

i’ve been seeing those halloween candy corns (?) in pictures and stuff but can’t find them here in japan lol what do they taste like?? corn?? pumpkin??
click to expand


Well it's about time notifications working again. So far it only working when you quote me, so far.

Anyway those candy corn is a halloween tradition but it can be eaten and seen all across America at anytime of the year. The taste is kinda hard to explain but it has this sweet sugary taste to it with natural flavors. It doesn't taste nothing at all like pumpkin or otherwise I wouldn't like it because pumpkin taste nasty to me unless it's pumpkin pie
click to expand

ohhh nice! i was always kinda curious about those candy corns lol yeah pumpkin flavored snacks can sometimes taste nasty if it’s not done right lol i was browsing online for halloween snacks and found some nice ones lol :

pumpkin pie Kit Kat. you might like these lol



ghost toast (?) cinnamon toast flavored one lol



witch’s brew Kit Kat lol



this looks soooo good 👍 candy apple and pumpkin spice caramel. only in america, i think



pumpkin, bat, and ghost shaped Reese’s cups



in japan, they always sell this apple pie Kit Kat every fall 🍂 i tried it last year. it was good. actually tasted like apple pie lol 🍎 i just dunno why it’s purple tho lol 😅

Indeed, most Slavic kids have memories of having to go pick a branch from a tree with witch to be whipped by. And if you dared to cry, they'd (parents) would say something along the lines of "keep going (cryin) & I'll give you something to cry about!" They weren't joking either!

Oh right, of course,, those exhagared tales of when ones parents were kids themselves & the hardships they had to endure therefore you should be grateful for the curtent life style you are afforded by comparison. The irony is that each time the stories are recycled, they get more & more exaggerated & wild 🤣 Most of us have become immune to emotional blackmail thanks to our parents.

Belts, branches... pretty much anything they can grab first to spank you with its fair game. & flip-flops can miraculously turn corners too but I think the latter is pretty much universal from Latin America, to Asia, Middle East & Balkans 😅

🤣 Diabolical indeed. Masterclass in psychological warfare! And you are absolutely correct in surmising one would be sent back to pick "an appropriate" brach should previous one not pass the inspection. They (most parents) preferred willow tree branches. Sickoes lol

LOL that is my guy!!!! I cry laughing every time he says "EmoTioNal dAmaGe!!!!"

😅 @ pointing at the wheel on the wall with only 2 marked options ...doctor/lawyer & saying I don't see "failure!" on there!

There is certainly more that unites ppl across the globe than that which separates us. 🫶

yeah this is the “emotional damage” guy 😂 i love his content lol

my dad told me with a straight face he’s very proud of me besides the fact that i turned out gay 😂 he says he doesn’t understand it and i used to be offended but now i don’t care cuz he doesn’t try to change me. he’s like “i don’t understand it but you’re still my most well-behaved son and you make me proud in many other ways”. 😅so i think as long as i make up for it in other ways, he’ll let me off the hook for the most part 😂🤷‍♂️

Pardon my late response, @serenidad, got no notification for your post. At any rate, the quoting eventually gets exhausted once it reaches certain word/icon limit. That's why I kept my previousnpost so brief. It was totally messing up my verbosity flow! 🤦‍♀️

I'm really glad to hear you & your dad were/are able to establish and nurture a mutually respectful & loving relationship. It's challenging for older generations to break away from societal norms so I see that as quite the step forward on your dad's behalf. I'll never forget when I got my first tattoo, my mother didn't speak to me for a month. She thought I had defiled myself & that belonged with the Yakuza hahahah🤣. Grand times!

I'll never forget when I got my first tattoo, my mother didn't speak to me for a month. She thought I had defiled myself & that belonged with the Yakuza hahahah🤣. Grand times!

your mom ignored you for a month over a tattoo? that’s crazyy 😅 was it a big noticeable tattoo? and yeah i don’t know why tattoos are still associated with yakuzas. people can’t even go into hot springs (at hotels/resorts and stuff) here in japan if they have tattoos. i remember when my friend came to visit from the US, me, him and my dude went to a hot spring and there was a sign saying “no one with tattoos permitted inside” so i tied a cloth/towel around his upper arm where his tattoo was and we covered it up. i can see how facial tattoos may give off gang vibes but a rose or dragon or something on someone’s arm? i don’t see any issue with it lol

they wouldn’t let me quote you lol 😅

yeah this is the “emotional damage” guy 😂 i love his content lol

my dad told me with a straight face he’s very proud of me besides the fact that i turned out gay 😂 he says he doesn’t understand it and i used to be offended but now i don’t care cuz he doesn’t try to change me. he’s like “i don’t understand it but you’re still my most well-behaved son and you make me proud in many other ways”. 😅so i think as long as i make up for it in other ways, he’ll let me off the hook for the most part 😂🤷‍♂️


Pardon my late response, @serenidad, got no notification for your post. At any rate, the quoting eventually gets exhausted once it reaches certain word/icon limit. That's why I kept my previousnpost so brief. It was totally messing up my verbosity flow! 🤦‍♀️

Indeed she did! To her defense, it was many maaaany moons ago when I had it done. It was my bday gift to myself as well as a farewell to my best friends (two sister ...both Aramaic Assyrian) when I was leaving Germany. All 3 of us had done a different tattoo at the same time, at the same tattoo parlor so we never forget each other no matter where into the world we might be. Tattoo is not that big. About 6 inches on the side of my calf starting about 2 inches above my ankle. I'll include the rendition of it down below.

Anyhoot, I'm glad you told me about not being able to enter hot spring with visible tats. I had not idea! Speaking of yakuza, am I wrong for understanding that the lore surrounding them is having new found appreciation and resurgence!?

Side note, I've been looking into buying a property outside of the US anywhere from Latin America to Japan, but can't reconcile myself attemtping to learn Japanse at my age 😭 Although I'd love, loooove, to acquire a rural property on the island of Hokkaido. *sighs*

This the 1st tatto in question...

Colors have now somewhat faded out & could definitely use retouching. Also, the color on the rose pattels intentionally fade out towards the edges on the actual tattoo. In other words, nothing too gory or what could traditionally be otherwise considered "offensive". 🙄😅

your rose tattoo is very beautiful and tasteful and the sentimental story behind it is heartwarming too. i like how you did the stems of the rose? it kinda looks like a celtic design? i feel like as long as a tattoo is non-intrusive, tasteful, and means something profound to the person, there’s nothing wrong with it 🙂. i sometimes see people with ridiculous words in a foreign language tattooed on them and i feel like maybe those folks should’ve looked up the words properly before having it tattooed on them but yeah 😅 and those people who have their ex-lover’s faces and names tattooed on them 😅 it just seems like a bit much lol but other than that, no issues 🙂

i dunno too much about the history of yukuza but some of them have done some positive things for society like helping communities that have been severely hit by earthquakes and tsunamis, getting food, clothing and shelter to the people in need etc

many brothels, night clubs/bars, motels, insurance companies, money-loaning businesses, gambling businesses are said to be owned by yakuza but you won’t actually see them working at the front desk or anything like that 😅lol those are ordinary citizens.

for the most part, they’re not in plain sight and they won’t bother ordinary citizens without any reason. 🙂

rural Hokkaido is beautiful. i’ve never been to the rural side (just Sapporo for the annual snow festival) but i hear they got nice lavender fields like they do in Provence 😆lol and beautiful mountain views, and sky blue transparent lakes like this. you’ll love it there 😆 :

@serenidad thanks bunches! I figured it was a timeless design that wouldn't age too badly. Moreover, one of it's spiritual representations is that of Virgin Mary (I'm not religious though) which lined up with orthodox cross ☦️ design sisters (also my sisters though not by blood) chose so there was an additional thread linking us three togater. I think it worth noting that most ppl fall into two camps, either those who love them or those two dispize tattoos. I clearly fall under the former category & if I could have a spare skin suit, I'd have it all tattooed from neck all the way down to my toes. Id love to find a tratidional Japanese tattoo master who'd do a tattoo on the nape of my neck but, yeah... good luck with that!

Funny you should mention misapplication of foreign words/-phrases/ letters coz earlier today my YT feed populated with the video below. I wonder if it was kismet, cosmic alignment or just helluva Spyware search engines are deploying these days... hmm 🤔 at any rate ...

LoL



Haha...😅 can you imagine even a lower tear yakuza general working at a customer service desk coz I'd find that so wrong on so many levels not to mention utterly hilarious. Cheers for offering some further insight on that subject matter. It makes perfect sense why they'd be perceived in a more favorable light then.

As for Provance... I'd wager to say Hokkaido surpasses it in beaty. Sure, Provence is revered for a resoan, but the natural beauty different season brign to Hokkaido is simply breathtaking. It's not like Provence can boast that much snowfall. Hokkaido literally looks like it was plucked from a Disney fairytale only better lol. It's been a while now, maybe a year ago or so, that I've done some property search & I must say I was somewhat surprised to see how building design/homes appear to have far more westernized influence as opposed to, say, Honshu. Could it be because they experience so much snowfall or is there larger expat community like it is in Osaka that influenced the demand?

Oh, i did see few videos of the festival & it looked positively magical! I must make my way over there one day! Uh... one more question if you don't mind... how susceptible is Hokkaido to earthquakes by comparison to other islands. I mean, I know you guys sit on the ring of fire sooooo...ermm..yeahhh. Me so not happy about that! 😅

omggg wtff 😂 @ the video

lmaoo @ some dude unknowingly getting “poor/broke” tattooed on him 😂 and greens/vegetables 😂

this is exactly what i was referring to 😂 people proudly getting some random ass word in a foreign language tattooed on them without even knowing wtf it really means 😂 and then flexing about it 😂

i agree that you should only get timeless tattoos lol yours is very elegant. 👍

hokkaido has less earthquakes than other parts of japan as far as i’m aware of but you gotta be prepared anywhere in japan (stock up on bottled water in case water/gas/electricity stops for a week or two after a big earthquake. energy bars, flashlights, lighters things like that. they sell “emergency earthquake kits” in stores etc).

since i’ve been here i’ve experienced magnitude 3 and 4 but nothing bigger.

the thing is, earthquakes happen so often here that we don’t even flinch when it’s anything below magnitude 5 😂

you barely feel magnitude 3. or at least i don’t.

magnitude 4 might startle you a little bit but when it subsides after a few seconds, you’re like “whew” lol

magnitude 3 and 4 are so common that we’re just like “oh, there it is again” and just continue doing what we were doing.

magnitude 5 and over you’re probably gonna be like “oh shit!!!!!!!!!!” lol

i have yet to experience magnitude 5 or 6 and i’m hoping i won’t ever but you never know 😅

Haha 😁 I have immense appreciation for those who speak with passion about their locale/region &/or country. It is contagious & sets my fairy Venus ablaze with curiosity & wonder. There are few imidiate goals I have lined up first but once that's been taken care of, I am definitely gonna look into visiting. Mom still lives in Oz so I just might be able to convince he to meet up there. 🤞

I find Japense architecture & interior design to be...( I was going to say militant at first, but that wasn't the right word).... restrained. Typically, when I look at modern western deign, it leaves me cold & empty which is the complete opposite of what Japanise design does. Perhaps that's becuase you guys use great deal of natural materials/fibers which adds the necessary layer of warmth. Btw, love the decoration ❣️

I spy a tatami mat on one of the photos... watched a documentary on its manufacturing by a small family owned company. Jeez.. had no idea it was that labour intensive. 😲

sorry, they wouldn’t let me quote you 😅

real tatami is hard to maintain (hard to clean and preserve it’s original state and color) so many people nowadays tend to opt for modernized faux tatami (they’re easier to maintain) and are quickly becoming more popular :

i like the modernized ones too 🙂 the real ones have like a woodsy, grassy scent to it in the beginning whereas the modernized ones don’t really.
