Scrapbooking - Day 1

Image
16/7/2021 Exactly two months ago (coincidence?) WAS my birthday. A week later, my sister's birthday present to me arrived, and it was Enhypen's Ggu-Ggu package. Inside contained stuff for... scrapbooking. Which is not something I usually do nor am I very adept at. But today I decided, for 40 minutes, that was all I was going to do. So, opening this picture book that I'm supposed to cut snippets out of: Found an easy target for today's scrapbooking. I'm not creative enough to cut full pictures uniquely and paste them onto the notebook but since these are already in premade circles, I can use them.  Scissors were not very nice to me, but her, I at least managed to remove the page. Cut them into strips so that each circle will be easier to access. I'm lucky I didn't accidentally tear anything.  Those circles were obviously made for these circular outlines. They're not too visible in the photo above (I just took them quick

Episteme - July 11th - Socionics Intertype Relations

 Day 5 - Socionics Intertype Relations Why socionics intertype relations? So I got an MBTI + Enneagram burnout, but I still really like typology. It's probably the one subject I'll ever be an expert and have the diligence to follow. I've wanted to tackle Socionics for a while - I had mediocre knowledge, but it definitely should be improved. Anyways, intertype relations. It was inspired by visiting Sunghoon of Enhypen's profile. Then I noticed something - he was voted ESI. To be honest, it does fit him (a lot better than the previously voted LSI. That vote's gone), but then I remembered that Jake was a SEI. Jake and Sunghoon are literally called the soulmates of Enhypen because of how much they relate to each other and find each other similar, so I decided to look it up. They're apparently something called... Quasi. And it doesn't fit what they're promoted as, so I'm curious bahaha. Thus this came to be. Socionics Intertype Relations Okay, so for thos

Episteme - Compensatory 10th July - Bladder Mystery

Day 4 - Urine First of all, my apologies for not writing yesterday. I did remember it, but I never actually took it to act upon it, and yesterday was my graduation. And graduation is both celebratory and melancholy, because I got excited so I posted a lot on Insta stories, but then got reminded of how lonely I actually was and proceeded to cry five times last night. I slept at 8 am. But anyways, that should be for the other blog. On forward.  Why... bladder mystery? Okay I swear it's not as weird as it looks. So today we were out driving, and I really shouldn't have drank as much as I did, but yeah got a full bladder. Held in it. When we finally reached home I went to urinate and made an observation that the stream isn't as natural as when you don't hold it in, and takes about twice the time to release. So here's a fun fact: all mammals take about the same length of time to urinate - 6 seconds. And here's the question: why? Why does it come out so slowly? What e

Episteme - July 9th - Countries and capitals

 Day 3 - Countries and their capitals Why countries? I got reminded of one time in Year 8 where I was one of the few people who got 5/5 for remembering random countries in Asia's capitals, and so I thought - what if I did that again, but with every single country? I've forgotten some capitals, so I might as well refresh my memory. List of countries Once again, list retrieved from my trusted friend, Wikipedia.  We're doing it by life expectancy just because, hey, learning something extra is great, isn't it? Here's how it'll go - I'll copy the list, and in a different colour I'll try my best to remember the capitals of as many countries as possible. For those I forgot, I'll learn their continents in separate sections. Let's commence the list: Actually, I'm doing it by name, because it's easier to find lists to copy and paste. Afghanistan - I don't know, but I have a vague idea... Kahal? Albania Algeria Andorra Angola Antigua and Barbuda

Episteme - July 8th - Popular Genera and some binomials

 Day 2 - Generic Genera Why Genera? Alright, I admit, I got so engrossed in other things throughout the day that I'm writing this at 1 am, July 9th instead (although to say I forgot would be factually incorrect) so I thought I should go with something simple. For this Episteme challenge, I just have to learn something , right? So here I'll try to remember some popular mammal genera (referring to  this  list) and some species which fall under these genera. Genera A genus is a subdivision of an organism, and is technically the first half of the scientific name in the binomial system, written in capitals (eg Panthera leo , which is a lion. Panthera is the genus). This I knew before, both what a genus is and that Panthera leo is the scientific name for a lion. To be fair, I only really remember two - Panthera leo and panthera tigris. I used to remember wolves and horses and the T.rex, but I'm not in the mood to sit down and try to recall it, because I want to make this entry qu

Episteme - July 7th - Qualia

 Day 1 - Qualia Why Qualia? One of the things I've been meaning to research more was about thoughts. I was actually going to do it on a thought experiment - Mary's room to be specific - but I got sidetracked by the amount of words I didn't know the meaning to, so I decided I should explore things slowly but surely. Then I saw a link to this Wikipedia article on Mary's room's webpage, and recalled when I opened that page as a way to explain MBTI Si and never got to reading it. Thus I decided this was a good way to start. Qualia Qualia is described as subjective, conscious experience. As compared to Se, which takes in reality objectively and interprets it into a singular objective view, this is alike to Si as it takes an individual's unique perspective (though perspective is a wrong word, to be honest. Sensation?) According to Wikipedia, the word derives from the Latin word qualis , which means "of what sort" or "of what kind". Subjective exper

Chapter 15 - Murder-Go-Round pt 1

Image
12/3/2021 Poor Amy only wanted to go for a walk around Inner City. But no, we encountered yet another victim of murder. And this time, the victim is crying blood. Haunting. A bad screenshot, but that's the body alright. Autopsy takes 18 hours as usually. A red jacket with the words 'Evil Woman' on it, I collected the powder used to write that message and sent it to Yann.  Upon restoring the photo, we find out that Nikolai Kamarov, a suspect in the previous investigation and the leader of the Russian community (who are in feud with the Chinese), returns. We learn the victim is his wife, Odette Kamarov. Side note as an MBTI enthusiast: Amy does seem like an Fe user. Most of what she talks about is in regards to the feelings of others or an entire community. Her bubbliness seems to be Ne as well, but I guess Si would give her some groundedness. Ti inferior suits her naivety as well. ESFJ it is.  The talk w
