Joshie's Life in the Dreamhouse

  Encanto Review Part 1        We meet again dear reader, and today I’m back again with another topic to fancy about; a media review! So, why not start with one of my absolute favourite movies; Encanto. Released in late 2021, it quickly became a hot topic, and with it grew many fandoms and theories (as expected). If you haven’t watched it yet, what are you even doing? Go and watch it this instant or you will regret reading this entire blog post full of spoilers uwu. This part will include my take on Encanto’s summary and the some of the characters, basically the grandchildren.      Right off the bat, we are starting with the summary or synopsis of the move. Encanto roughly translates to ‘Enchantment’, and so other words used in conjunction such as mystical and magical come to mind. After watching this movie multiple times, I firmly believe that Encanto was set in the 1950s, with Abuela’s experience of losing her husband and her home, as well a...

✍ Blog Entry Week 4 – The Literary Experience 🎭       Throughout my schooling life, especially during primary school, I was indeed a bookworm. Not as much as the audacious sort that would devour every single book they could find, and not even the casual reader, who would pick up a book out of mere boredom or when necessary. No, I was somewhere in the middle; I read because it was quite necessary and I enjoyed the sensation and thrill one may experience through the adventures portrayed in said books.     One of the authors that I recall reading many books from, was none other than Enid Blyton. Born in 1897, and passed on in 1968, she definitely made a huge impact worldwide, as almost everybody who read English storybooks as a child most definitely read Enid Blyton’s craft. Her style was impeccable, and being curious as well as inquisitive children, it satisfied us and gave us more to imagine about. It is only natural, that as the human body ages,...

Blog Entry Week 3 – Virtual Happiness~      Hey Beauties!💕 Ever heard of the game Animal Crossing? Turns out, it’s been around for quite some time, since its first release dating back to 2001. I must admit, I had no clue that it even existed before this. In 2020, the highly anticipated Animal Crossing: New Horizons game was released, and most people got the Nintendo Switch to play it. Fortunately for me, my sibling was willing to share their console with me, many moons later though, so I only started playing it after the hype, but I still play the game nevertheless.      The game instantly brought me joy, as I usually do prefer to play such games as these. When I was younger, I was obsessed with construction and management simulation games. So, games like Zoo Animals, Harvest Moon, Animal Jam, My Littlest Pet Shop, Monster Pet Shop, etc. were a staple in my childhood. At that point of time, I did not own any consoles, so I had to make do with the famil...

  💥Blog Entry Week 2 – Hardcore💬        Hey Beauties! 💗 I’m back with another entry, and I have decided, after sharing my skincare journey with everyone, to talk about one of the most challenging examinations I’ve had to take so far, STPM. Now, for those of you that are not familiar with Malaysia’s education system, or are just unclear about the whole STPM deal; it is one of the most difficult pre-university examinations out there. It’s considered to be one of the hardest, and thus is recognised worldwide. It’s so overwhelming actually, especially for those who have just made it through SPM (Malaysian School Certificate) examinations, as most of the time, a lot of students get a lot of guidance from their teachers. Gone are the days where teachers would help print out past papers for us to do, discuss them during class, teach us tips and tricks on what to study and how to answer the exam questions.      When I was in Form 6, my teachers ...

✨Blog Entry Week 1✨      Hey beauties!💖 This post marks a very important date as this is my very first blog post~ *cues applause and fireworks* That’s right folks! So, I thought, what better way to mark an important date than to talk about one of my subjects of importance (and quite knowledgeable mind you~), 💟Skincare!💟 Skincare has been an integral part of my life. It’s just one of those things that gives me a sense of balance in life.      This blog post will mainly consist of my skincare journey, my skincare routine and the active ingredients found in said skincare products, and the benefits of the ingredients listed.      First off, my skincare journey hasn’t been the best one. The only reason I really became the dermatologist of my familial unit is because I have had to experience one of the worse acne attacks of my life up to date. It happened just as the Covid-19 pandemic (or dubbed as Ms. Rona for comical purposes) was making...
