I Can Hear Your Voice (Rate: 5/5)

Another drama? Yay!

I Can Hear Your Voice (너의 목소리가 들려) tells a story about a high school student who can hear inner voices of people. He tried to protect a lawyer who once witnessed the murder of his father. And of course, they fell in love, lol.

This drama is so fun that I'm interested in becoming a prosecutor. Haha. I learned about the law system too.

A break for possible spoiler.

Persona 3 Portable (Rate: 5/5)

I replayed this on my 10-day vacation last week. I haven't finished it yet, but I've played more than one playthrough so yeah.

This is an RPG and a remake of Persona 3 for PSP (thus the "portable"). The main char in Persona 3 is a male, and in P3P you can choose to have a male or a female main char. The main plot is basically the same, but there are different little things, of course.

The guy with blue hair and headphone is the male MC, the girl with hairpins and headphone is the female MC

It tells a story of monsters called shadows. The MC and the team have a power called persona that can be used to kill the shadows. The shadows are like dementors in Harry Potter, you know? They eat humans' desire to live. So, they have to kill the shadows to save humanity. But of course there are plot twists. But that's pretty much the main plot.

I played this for the first time before I got into psychology. But after getting into college, I was like, what this is so Jungian. I pretty much learned Jung's theory from the game, lol.

Okay so this is a really good game. The MC has stats that you have to increase, so you do have to study, or work part-time, or whatever. The MC also has something called social links. It is used to strengthen your personas. So, you have to make friends with many, many people. It's kinda hard to have all the social links maxed, for me. I mean, you have to increase your stats, level up your team, and make friends for a year. But I guess it's possible. Just follow a walkthrough, lol.

The social links are kinda different for the male MC and female MC. For example, the male MC gets to create a link with a teacher, the female MC doesn't. But they both can have lover route(s)! Of course the male with females and the female with males. Though I think the male MC's lover route(s) are far more innocent than the female MC's. I don't know why but it's fun seeing them implying things. :p
The backstory for every single characters in this game is very nice, though. So you can play both the male and female MC for fun.

You can have many personas, really! I don't know how many there are in the game, but they are divided into many arcanas (which I don't know how many either). It's kinda like a "type" for personas. You also have the ability to use and bring more than one persona into a battle. Your friends can't do this.

All in all, it's very good stuff. It's actually a philosophical game too, if you get that. It tells about life and death, and things like that. Note that this game has an extremely emotional ending, though. Prepare some tissues if your kokoro can't. ;)

Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3rd Story Premium (Rate: 4/5)

A friend copied this to my flash disk. It's my first time playing an otome game/a dating sim (it's different from The Sims, right?). And damn, it was fun!

So I use a PSP emulator for this (PPSSPP). There's the version for NDS too, but NDS emulator is too laggy for me. The difference is (I think) the skinship system. On NDS, you can actually touch the guys with the stylus, on different parts of their bodies. On PSP, you can only use the triangle, square, circle buttons and analog-up. You can hold it for different touches (for example, triangle once for "touch" and hold it for "hold hands").

There are six guys you can date (the top six) and five extras (starts from the 9th guy). And you have two girl friends (no 7 & 8). Sorry, I haven't unlocked one of the extras haha. And that's you, the girl with red hair at the end. You gotta get them in 3 years of high school. You can actually date two guys at the same time, but only selected pairs (no 1 & 2, no 3 & 4, no 5 & 6).

FRIENDLY TIP: play Ruka (no 1) the last.

It's a fun game, really. Though I rate 4/5 because I think the only person with a well-developed backstory is the main guy. But well, he's the main, what can you do? The others are well-developed characters too, but the backstory is so-so.

Also, for me it's too... vanilla. I mean, yes you can do skinship until he explodes (yes) but that's all. And it kinda grinds my gear. But well, it's rated PG-13, right? So yeah I can deal with that haha.

All in all, it's a good game. The rewarding system is so good for your brain so be careful, you might get addicted to it.

Here are some more pics of the guys because hey it's fun okay.

Elf Lip Exfoliator (Rate: 5/5)

I have chappy lips. Not necessarily dry, but chappy. So when I stumbled upon this exfoliator at an online shop, I was like, I gotta have one.

Ingredients (from Elf's website because I lost my box):

• Sucrose
• Vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil
• Persea gratissima (avocado) oil
• Ozokerite
• Fragrance (parfum)
• Synthetic candelilla wax
• Copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax
• Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter
• Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil
• Tocopheryl acetate (ve)

It looks like a lipstick, but so much coarser. It smells really sweet and it tastes sweet too. This might be a problem though, because it triggers my saliva production. Whenever I apply it, my mouth gets wet haha. But it's okay, I don't mind.

The instruction says you should apply this on damp lips on circular motion. Sometimes I wet my lips, some other time I simply lick them. After that, wipe your lips with damp cotton (I use tissue) to get rid of the scrub, then I dab them with dry tissue. Most of the time, I put on some lip balm too because it feels nice.

I really like the shape of this exfoliator. It's easy to use and you don't have to use your fingers. I was always too lazy to exfoliate my lips because I don't like my fingers getting dirty, but hallelujah this exfoliator saved me.

This exfoliator gets rid of my dead-skin-on-my-lips thing (you know what I mean?). I used to bite them off but now I can just use this exfoliator yay. My lips feel softer and definitely kissable (friendly tip: use this in the morning before going on a date). It also helps the color of my lips. My lips are pretty pigmented, but this exfoliator helps making the color better.

(I tried to take a pic to show you, but I failed. Sorry. My phone camera isn't that good, I guess)

I bought mine from @nyxstuffid for IDR 75k, I guess? I forgot. I really love this product and definitely will repurchase!

It's Okay, That's Love (Rate: 4/5)

So, I actually like reviewing things because I like making comments about things. Most of the time, I prefer mini reviews because I'm lazy, but I want to start making real reviews. So, here's my first.

A friend of mine recommended this series to me.

It's Okay, That's Love (괜찮아, 사랑이야) tells a story about abnormality. As a student majoring in clinical psychology, of course I got curious on how they portray mental patients. You know, people tend to stigmatize them, right?

Tl;dr: a PG-15ish story about a psychiatrist and an author who both have mental problems. Very nice for professionals, might be a little hard for non-professionals, but it's enjoyable.
