I called in sick at work today, but don't worry, I'm fine!  I just had a torticolis from improper stretching and thought I could use of some rest + proper medication. So I went to the hospital and they gave me a shot of anti-inflammatory~

I didn't think that my first time using the Suntan Kitty bag would be like this though  I was surprised with how much stuff it can fit! I brought cookies, the flat pouch from the same collection that I use as a card case, keys, earbuds, phone, a box of Band-Aids, lipgloss, pads in a drawstring pouch, pocket mirror, phone...  waaaayyyy more storage than I expected!

After I left the hospital, I went looking for an USB adapter for microSD cards because I thought mine died out (will talk about that later...) and had lunch at Sukiya 

SUPER CUTE deco UV cabins I saw at a beauty supply store!!! I want one!!! 

I ordered a bowl of yakiniku with cheese and strawberry lemonade, but I immediately regretted the cheese part. Almost every time I order something in a "westernized" version, I regret it  I thought the cheese made the sauce tasteless and it felt heavy, overall not very tasty. But I enjoyed the meal anyway and I loved the lemonade, it was very cheap too ~ since my local Sukiya is about 5 minutes from my home, I'll order it all the time now  next time I'll order the OG yakiniku for sure 

So about the USB adapter... Boring talk, but it might help someone out.

Back in 2024, I was playing Lego Batman on my Nintendo DSi and it suddenly crashed and I couldn't get my R4 card to work again (in case you don't know the R4 card is a device to put as many games you wish in your (3)DS for free and it relies heavily in a firmware you download and insert in the root of an micro SD card).

Since I didn't have a computer back then, I left my DS in the drawer and waited for the opportunity to show up. In my first attempts to transfer an updated firmware to the SD card, the Windows kept freezing everytime I tried to plug the adapter in. After some research, I concluded that the issue might be the adapter because it's quite old.

I got the adapter. However, it didn't solve the freezing. I couldn't even format the damn card, but luckily I could save my game gallery and data. That's when I realized that the issue wasn't the adapter – the card died out.  I was so freaking mad that I spent money on the wrong stuff 

So I transfered every data in the micro SD of my Nintendo Switch to the console and formated it to use in the R4 while I don't get a new one. Andddd it worked 

One of the best DS games if you ask me!

I spent the rest of the night playing Style Savvy  But also, I realized that most of the stickers on the inside of my DSi fell off  I'm so sad bc they were ballet-themed from the Happy Meal toy of "Barbie and the Pink Shoes". I had a swan, pointe shoes and two dancing ballerinas... But I'll replace them with Suntan Kitty stickers 

I can take my Nintendo DSi with me wherever I go now once again!!!
