Songs to Remember: Scriptina - Losco

        Just like how my cousin got airsoft one time and bought himself an airsoft gun, as well as the time when he got into doing tricks with balisong knives, I got intro Cardistry.

        Just what is Cardistry? Well, in simple terms, art with cards. Basically juggling using a deck of cards. I came across a video showcasing a dude using this cool looking deck of "Black Fontaine" cards and I was like "Woah". I thought those were like, gimmick cards meant for that kinda thing. Turns out they were actually just regular playing cards. I got a bit interested after that and came across another video, this time by Kuma Films, and it was just a gathering of people doing "Cardistry" tricks in the middle of the night. In Singapore. There were dudes AND girls doing Cardistry. That really took the cake for me.

        I was like "What the s***, this is bootleg". I looked up some more stuff about it, and one trick that really caught my eye was the "Virus" flourish by Noel Heath. I was like "You know what? I wanna learn that". Researched some good beginner cards, and in about a week or so, I'll be able to start learning all this. Because using a bootleg Weiss Schwarz TCG deck is definitely not working for me. This reminds me of that time when I was 10. I got a Rubik's cube for my birthday, decides I wanted to learn it, followed Pogobat's tutorial, and to this day I still remember how to solve a Rubik's cube. I'm hoping to do the same with this "Cardistry" business.

        Oh and uh, thank goodness for 3-day weekend. Kinda, layed off the work so I could get into this Cardistry thing. But I will, finish it all tomorrow, I promise. So, see you tomorrow.
