About Kalli Manzilime

For ages now, I've thought about giving myself an alias. The reason I decided this mainly because I wanted to separate my real life from my internet/creative arts life, which, I feel like, is a pretty understandable reason. It took me quite a while to decide on a name that suits me and the creative works that I do, but I've finally landed on the name Kalli Manzilime. 

For anyone curious, the name 'Kalli Manzilime' is a pun, and for anyone who knows the way I like to name my characters for stories, this wouldn't at all be a surprise. Kalli Manzilime comes from the 'calamansi lime' which is one of the citrus fruits that I like (but don't have much access to here in Australia xD). Although I've mostly tried it mixed with vodka, it's one of my favourite fruit flavours. It also comes from my country of origin, being the Philippines, and basically looks like a tiny, cute lime.

 Now, it's a good thing this blog is hard to access on the internet since this is *sort of* a secret. Because, here's some information about the "rules", for lack of better word, for this alias.

1. People that I know, and are close to, in real life can know that me and Kalli are the same without me getting weird about it
2. I'd much prefer that the peeps that know me online see my name as Kalli instead of my real name

And that's it ^_^

Wethuzz talks a bit about Your Turn To Die!

I'd like to thank a certain friend, codenamed Socprion, for introducing me and another friend (who I'll be codenaming Viro) to Your Turn To Die :'D

We're barely into (what I'm assuming is) chapter 2 and already, Viro and I have been totally ruined emotionally and mentally. No spoilers, but as you'd expect from the game's synopsis, there is a lot of heavy stuff that happens to a lot of characters.

Also, my favourite character so far is Professor Mishima!

Went to a little Halloween party just yesterday

Meet Cactus Prickinson. A little guy in a really big world. Just kidding, it's just me in an outfit heavily inspired by Beht the Shadyman xD

You'll know which one xD

Short Online Diary Entry #12 - Patch up!

I'm teaching myself to sew! Gave this jacket a little patch up using an old, overstretched sock :D (It's finished now but I don't have a picture of that yet) I dunno what I'm gonna do about the bleach stains scattered around other areas tho...

Short Online Diary Entry #11 - In search for a piano piece

I remember back in 2019, when I was doing year 12 music, one off my pianist classmates played this one piece. I didn't catch on the title or its composer but man, it was one of the loveliest tunes I've ever heard. Honestly I'd do anything to get a hold of that title. And that's why now I'm listening to mixes/compilations of piano pieces by piano composers until I find what I heard. Yeah, this is gonna take a while... But, I'm determined!

Short Online Diary Entry #10 - Music theory for probably the 5th time again

Yeah, I'm doing another round of music theory self-study again. I'm dedicating a notebook to it, even. This is likely mainly because I've gone back to watching some music theory/analysis/etc. channels on YouTube again. I've been feeling really inspired to compose again and also get into understanding music altogether.

Speaking of which, all this has been making me want to actually overcome this one area of my shyness where I'm too shy to get back to piano lessons again. My dad says he might still have some contact with the piano tutor I had back in primary school (I last played with her back in 2014). A bit nervous, but I really want to consider it.

Short Online Diary Entry #9 - My love for archives

One of the things that I really love about being in more obscure fandoms is that it really aids my love for browsing archives and old webpages/documents/images/etc. And the more obscure the fandom, the easier it is to find stuff on the web that hasn't been interacted with in probably months to maybe even years. 

I feel like it all stemmed from when I was a kid, I'd spend hours upon hours browsing the cupboard that's got a lot of old schoolbooks, papers and other stuff inside it. I loved reading all the old stuff I did and looking at the old doodles that I drew. (It's a shame a lot of that is lost/thrown away now, but I digress...)

Same thing with my garage, which I still haven't seen 100% of. I can't really browse it all that much anymore, since my mum gets all worked up whenever I make a mess of it, but that's okay. We're planning on moving house sometime not to far away from now, so that might give me a chance to finally explore the depths of the garage, and the small shed that we have in the back yard.

Short Online Diary Entry #8 - Probably gonna get into stealth games soon

A family member told me I should get into stealth games. You wanna know why? They thought it'd be absolutely hilarious since I'm real crap at being careful. ABut then again, a majority of the games I grew up playing were super fast-paced (especially run n' guns) and was really all about bruteness, with the exception of more chill games like the Sims. A good place to start is Hitman, which we've had for years. I only remember playing it a couple times, but I was never clever enough to figure stuff out at those times. Anyways, I'm kinda excited.
