why are jdramas filmed like that?

okay this is strange and really just a nothing burger observation but i’m curious if maybe someone knows about it. but ive noticed that most of the jdramas i watched are filmed in a way that’s different from kdramas or any other standard american drama show. i think it has something to do with the frame rate they are filmed at and maybe how they light the scenes. the best way i can maybe pinpoint to what it reminds me of is like it’s a youtube vlog footage. i don’t know if im making sense but hey 🌚 and it’s not all of them but it’s enough to make me wonder.

i’m currently watching until the tshirt dries and that’s what made me think of this.

looking for a good place for my career

hey all! at a really confusing time in my life and i like to turn to astrology for some guidance. i’m especially looking for direction on good places for me to be relatively successful in career endeavors! i know an mc line might be the best but not sure. i’ve highly highly considered philadelphia (where my uranus mc line runs straight through) but im hesitant because it’s a uranus line and ive seen some iffy things about it.

for more context im a video editor/videographer right now i do freelancing but im hoping to either scale this or find a job in this field.

how to improve textured skin

i’m trying to improve my skin texture as it’s been kinda an insecurity of mine for a while. right now i have a pretty simple skin care routine but im wondering what i could add to improve the texture and possibly help with my acne scarring (though i know that’s probably a procedure thing)

Skin concern/skin type: skin texture/oily skin

Length of routine: 15 minutes?

Day:

⁠Cleanser: Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser
⁠Toner: Good Molecules Niacinamide Toner
⁠Serum: Good Molecules Azalaic Acid
⁠Moisturizer: Cerave Daily Mousturizing Lotion
⁠Sunscreen: Shisedo Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50

Night

⁠Cleanser: Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser
⁠Toner: Good Molecules Niacinamide Toner
⁠Serum: Good Molecules Azalaic Acid
⁠Moisturizer: Cerave Daily Mousturizing Lotion

Allergy: None

Products I’ve used and didn’t work: Can’t recall them

Diet: Semi-healthy typically meal prep and cook my own foods mostly rice, chicken, broccoli and pastas. I do eat out probably 2-3 times a week, and it tends to be on the greasier side. Water intake is lacking.

General Health: Healthy weight, relatively active (walking everyday, lift 3x a week) no major health issues

help with cd burning

so i know how to burn a cd i’ve successfully done it once. (with this exact player) my issue is that the stupid external cd player stops working. it turns on and spins the cd for a bit just to shut off. i’m losing my mind as this is the second one i’ve tried. is it user error like did i mess it up with burning the first time?? i’m so confused as what the issue could even possibly be.

i’m using a macbook pro and im burning to cd from apple music. its a random amazon cd player from a brand called rioddas. if anyone has any advice or can recommend something that wont break immediately please let me know !

update: i got it now lol i have to full restart my computer each time i burn a cd 🌚 at least i got them burned now

journaling lowkey is magical

was feeling absolutely down in the dumps about a situation with a friend and i was feeling suffocated by the emotion. so i decided to just start writing in my journal. i literally even wrote in there that i don’t really have motivation to write but im sad so im writing. and i just kept writing and writing and suddenly i felt a little bit lighter. the feelings are still lingering but i feel way less intense about it than i did an hour ago lol. 2-3 years ago i had absolutely zero coping mechanisms for intense emotions and my regulation was genuinely off the charts. but i’m happy that now ive found better ways to deal with it. still working on some stuff but little by little i feel better equipped at understanding my mental health and what i need to help myself in low periods.

Is there something that can explain my sudden urges to make so many changes in my life right now? [astro-seek]

i partially think it has something to do with uranus transiting my 1st house but i’m not too informed on that just general things i’ve read online but i don’t know what that plays with the rest of my chart. some changes im wanting to make are quitting my current job, cutting off my hair i’ve been intentionally growing for the last 3 years, moving back home to start a business, and pursue other educational aspirations (like getting another bachelors)

im looking for insight because on one hand this feels like long overdue almost or like a much need a release but im an overthinker and im worried this is also just might be like an escapism?
