Happy Halloween! ~~~~ Oct 31, 2025

Moemi had a Halloween party at her school! She decided to be a cop! We live in an area that has sooo many embassies so we see police officers everyday. 




Looking through the evidence lol

A nice little update~~~Jun 20, 2025

 



 

Hi hi~ ♡

 

It’s been such a long time since I wrote here… I honestly didn’t know if I’d ever come back to this blog. For a while, I even started a completely different one, thinking maybe it was time for a fresh start. But as I kept writing, I realized something: this blog still feels like home. So I’ve decided to return and start gently moving some (maybe even all) of those other posts here. I want to have everything in one cozy little corner again~

 

So much has happened recently, I almost don’t know where to begin… but I guess the biggest update is: I moved! I ended up moving to a different apartment in Minato-ku so that I could be within Moemi’s school district. It all happened very suddenly — it was such a last-minute decision — but somehow, a series of little events led me here.

 

The apartment itself is surprisingly roomy, which I love… but the building is *quite* old. The whole place has this slightly eerie charm, like something out of a Chilla’s Art horror game (please look them up if you don’t know them — I absolutely love their work). The building is tucked away in a narrow alley, and believe it or not… it’s wrapped around by a graveyard. It sounds spooky, but somehow it’s kind of peaceful too. I’m still getting used to it~

 

And oh my goodness... where do I even begin with everything else? I left the marriage agency. I did meet someone… but it’s complicated. I’ll explain more when the time feels right. For now, I think I need to keep some things..private.

 

The most exciting and heartwarming thing, though, is that Moemi started school!! I’m honestly so, so proud of her. The progress she’s made in just a month and a half feels unreal sometimes. She’s growing and blooming in her own unique way, and every day I feel so grateful to witness it.

 

She did get sick twice after starting school (which was surprising, since she never used to get sick before), so I’ve been much more consistent about giving her her children’s multivitamins from America. I was doing it before, but now I never miss a day! I think her little body is building up immunity, so I’m trying to support her as gently as I can~

 

As for why I’ve decided to return to blogging again... My dad recently reminded me of something really special. He’s been journaling every single day since before I was born. Sometimes, he’ll read me little snippets from when I was small — things I dreamed about, funny little things me and my brothers did, and just sweet memories that would’ve been forgotten if he hadn’t written them down. It really touched me.

 

So now I want to be more consistent with my writing too. I think some posts will be private, just for me… but a lot of things I don’t mind sharing. Who knows, maybe it’ll resonate with someone else. Or maybe one day, Moemi will read all of this and smile~

 

Anyway, I have to go for now, but I’ll start moving my old posts over here soon so everything lives in one place again. Thank you for reading this little ramble~

 

See you again soon 🕊️🌸 Bye bye for now ♡

Example of AD~~~ Mar 6, 2025

  Adding on to my last post, here is another great example of "averaging down". The green "B" means buy or in my case bought. 



Okay now I need to take a nap.

Day Trading Series! #1: Averaging Down~~~Mar 5, 2025

 


Day Trading Series! : Averaging Down


I’m a bit antisocial so I like to disappear for long periods of time but I really love trading. 


So.......🩷(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ᴥ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ⁠ʋ⁠)



I thought it would be fun to do Day Trading Series, where I’ll break down different strategies to help you make some money~~~🤸🏽‍♀️




Day trading can feel overwhelming at first, but if you take it step by step, it gets easier. In this series, I’ll cover specific techniques that can help you improve your trading, reduce your losses, and maximize your gains.


Today's topic? Averaging Down—one of my personal favorite strategies!🍭🧃






What is Averaging Down?


Averaging down is when you buy more shares at a lower price when a stock drops, which lowers your average cost per share.


A lot of traders panic when a stock falls, but instead of selling for a loss, I wait for it to bottom out (or get close to it) and then buy more.


That way, when the stock starts going back up, my break-even point is lower, and I can turn a profit faster.






How Averaging Down Works (A Simple Example)


Let’s say you buy 100 shares of a stock at $10 per share.


🩷 Your total investment: 100 x $10 = $1,000

🩷 Your average price: $10 per share


Now, let’s say the stock drops to $8.


Instead of panicking, you decide to buy another 100 shares at $8.


🩷 You now own 200 shares total

🩷 Your total cost: $1,000 (from before) + $800 (new purchase) = $1,800

🩷 Your new average price: $1,800 ÷ 200 shares = $9 per share


Now, your break-even price is lower than your first buy-in price.


Why This Helps


If you never averaged down, you’d need the stock to go back to $10 just to break even. But because you averaged down to $9 per share, now you only need the stock to go back to $9 to break even—and if it rises above that, you’ll make a profit faster.


Let’s say the stock bounces back to $10.


🩷 If you never averaged down, you’d be at break-even ($10 buy-in price).

🩷 But since your new average is $9, you’re now up $1 per share on 200 shares.


🩷 Total profit: 200 x $1 = $200






Why I Don't Trade with My Whole Account at Once


A big mistake traders make is going all in on their first buy.


If I had used my entire account on my first entry, I wouldn’t have any money left to average down.


This is why I only use a portion of my account at first—so if the price dips, I have extra money to buy at a better price.






Another Simple Example (For Even More Clarity!)


Let’s say you want to buy ice cream cones that usually cost $2 each.


🍦 You buy one cone for $2.

🍦 The store has a sale, and the price drops to $1.

🍦 You buy another cone for $1.

🍦 Your total cost is now: $2 + $1 = $3.

🍦 Your average price per cone is $3 ÷ 2 cones = $1.50 each.


Now, let’s say the store raises the price back to $2.


🩷 If you only bought one cone at $2, you'd break even.

🩷 But since you averaged down to $1.50 per cone, you now have a profit!


This is exactly how it works in stock trading.






When Averaging Down Works Best


🩷 When a stock is falling because of short-term panic, but you believe in the trade.

🩷 When you’re confident the stock will reverse based on technical indicators.

🩷 When you have enough money left to keep buying lower.


Averaging down is a strategy that requires patience and discipline—but when done correctly, it can help you recover losses faster and even make more money when the stock goes back up!






Final Thoughts


Averaging down is one of my favorite trading strategies, but it’s not for everyone.


The key is to:

🩷 Not use your full account size on the first buy.

🩷 Know when to stop averaging down (sometimes, a stock keeps dropping!).

🩷 Only use this strategy on stocks you believe will recover.


This is just one of many techniques I’ll be covering in the future!
