Days after creating a Bento.me account, I get an email saying that they're shutting down on Feb 13, 2026. 😂

The good thing is that I only signed up to do research, but what timing. And typical shitty business practice of a big company acquiring a small company only to shut it down. #latepost

Rewatching some episodes of Physical: Asia. Totally forgot that someone on the Korean team called Katsumi and Itoi "the pretty boy duo" when they won their death match against Indonesia. 🤣

Lately, I've been obsessed with Physical: Asia and its cast. Everyone has such a great attitude and personality. Eddie Williams (AU) aka Tombayar is definitely the show's unofficial social media manager. Amotti is basically a Korean ambassador and tour guide for all the other teams visiting Korea. 😂

JRPG adventurer backpack GET!
I've been eyeing this bag for over a year. Hoped for a sale or price drop, but I ended up having to buy it at full price because it's sold out online. 😭

There's a Japanese Mercari/eBay seller who's selling a used bag for full price. So glad I managed to get one new! 😌

I bought open-back headphones and have used them for the past three days. They feel pretty weird, TBH. I'm so used to closed-back headphones and not being able to hear most sounds.

They sound great, but really expose videos that have not been edited with sound in mind...

I hope that the next Squid Game: The Challenge season doesn't allow rich people in. Like, I get wanting to create a villain, but that villain made it to the very end. Thank goodness he didn't win. His greed got the best of him.

I rate the show 2/5 stars. It was trying so hard to imitate the drama.

I finally got invited to Digg's closed beta! 😭
Really hope it either lives up to the OG or is a better version of Reddit once it's ready for the public.

I guess Puma drops are not as crazy as Nike's. I got the cute lavender Wicked shoes, but the biggest size they offered was 9.5. The Elphaba ones go up to size 11 as do the silver ballet shoes.

Do they assume women with bigger feet don't wanna be cute? 😒 #Wicked #Puma #sneakerhead

Shim Hyung Tak and his love for Doraemon. 😭 #Korean #actor

I wish there was a way to block bots that mass follow. 🙃

While I'll talk about politics from time to time, it's not the focus of this account.

The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses seem pretty cool; big upgrade from the current ones on the market. But the fact that they're by Meta means I'm never getting them. I have the same concerns about them as I did with Google Glass over a decade ago, except I have even more concerns now...

I've created a separate Bluesky account for my random thoughts. My main account @yunalesca.com is J>E localization, anime, manga, and video games-focused (basically, Japan and Japanese media), so I felt a little stifled when it came to talking about anything unrelated.
