Happy 24th Birthday and Behinds the Scenes of Blogging

August 9, 2013 by Chikorita157 10 Comments

Before I knew it, time flew by so quickly. During that time, I finally graduated college this year and experienced the worse power outrage last fall because of Hurricane Sandy. Even so, this year was a rather peaceful one as I focused more on writing about Anime, and diving into intermediate level Japanese language studies despite my up and downs. The question is, how I will manage my time as I head to grad school?  I probably do more of the same, with a few adjustments.

For this birthday post, I will share behind the scenes on where I do my blogging. I do most of my blogging in a separate room, which has my desk with a LCD monitor and a screen. Since I’m busy all the time, my desk is unorganized and it’s pretty embarrassing. While I do most of my web surfing and browsing at this desk, I also do my blogging and web surfing at college and when I’m on vacation, in the hotel room. Since these places usually have Internet access, I no longer have the excuse to go on hiatus.

This is usually where I make most of my posts.

As for the computers I currently use, I have two Macbook Pro laptops. The one on the left (Takanashi Rikka) is my main one, which has a faster Intel i7 Quad Core CPU, 16GBs of RAM, 750 GB Hard Drive, Matte Display and nVidia Geforce GT 650m graphics. The right is a 2010 model, Takamachi Nanoha, which replaced my lemon laptop.

With that, feel free to say Happy Birthday in the comments below. As always, my parents are going to take me out later for a special meal. (Image Source)

    Happy birthday~ Good to hear your college studies are going well and the only damper this year was Hurricane Sandy.

    Just curious, when you go on vacation, is it always trips with your family or do you sometimes go with friends? And what kind of places do you go to/what kind of things do you like to do there?

      So far, I only went on vacation with my family as I don’t have any contact with my friends now since I moved on. But generally, we usually take a vacation to the midwest, namely Chicago and Wisconsin since we have relatives up there. But aside from that, we visited Boston for a few days last summer. Also, I went to Disney World about three times (once during my childhood, concert band field trip and for high school graduation in 2008. In about 2005, we also went to California as well.

      Well thanks… Of course, I need powerful computers as I run a lot of virtual machines and play some computer games once in a while. I also own a tablet and a iPhone 4S, but the tablet usually collects dust since I use my portable consoles and smartphone more and I usually do my web browsing on my laptops nowadays.
