ABOUT ME


(The knife is for chopping purposes! Be not afraid~)

Hello! You can call me Mori!

  • I am born, raised, and currently from the Philippines! Everyone probably knows where that is by now, but in case you don't, it's a group of islands somewhere in the Asian part of the Pacific Ocean!
  • I speak both English and Filipino (Tagalog)! Feel free to talk to me in both languages (or rather, type, I'm kinda bad at talking in general :'))
  • I was born on November 17 (which means I'm a Scorpio), and am currently in my mid-20's! My back constantly hurts now though :'))
  • I'm currently a College student studying Psychology! While I still haven't decided on what to do in the future, my current goal is to finish my studies and pass the licensure exam :')

Likes Dislikes
  • Anything that sounds like the twinkling of stars (music box, mallet sounds)
  • Heavy-sounding music (idk how to describe it but it's when there's a lot of instrumental layers in a piece)
  • The mandelbrot set fractals
  • Actually, fractals in general, they creep me out! 😭
  • Wording things more complicated than they actually are (I am guilty of this too huhu)

RANDOM Q&A:

Q: Why did you make this site?

A: I stumbled upon Neocities during 2020, when the pandemic was ongoing and everyone was locked up in their homes. I wanted to know if there were still sites out there that were similar to what I've seen when I was a kid: customizable and without the weird stuff like algorithms and the requirement to engage with one another.

After discovering this site, I tried making my own, and it lasted for a month until I deleted both the old site... along with my other social media. Yeah I know, it's not really a good reason why I had to delete them all, and looking back, I kinda regret my decision. Let's just say that back then I thought it was a choice out of a desire to be forgotten, or rather, be not remembered X')

Q: Where did 'aschenmori' come from?

A: It came from a combination of 2 words:

  • aschen: Took it from "Aschenputtel", the German name of Cinderella. I also think it means "ash"?
  • mori: from the Latin quote "memento mori" (remember that you will die). Also double meaning with the Japanese word 森, meaning "forest"

I wanted a name that had the image of something like a plant that was replanted into a new place. An old forest burned down to ashes, then regrowing it sounds like... a too extreme version of that, but I'll take it since that's basically what happened I guess! X'D

It's also the inspiration for the name of this site ("a shrub dreams to grow into a forest").

Q: How/Where did you learn HTML/CSS?

A: I've barely grasped the basics, pal! Dunno what I'm doing here!! :'))

If you consider having a computer class at Grade 8 as training then I guess I did have some experience I guess?? X'D Then again we really didn't learn much, RIP to my teacher but damn was he not a good teacher. Like writing down your code in PAPER?? Be for real sir ;_;

But really, go look for tutorials on sites like W3Schools and stackoverflow!  Look for templates when you wanna see how things would look! My site's literally made through Sadness's Layout Maker! Ask others for some help! You can do it! I believe in you!

Q: Do you have any other ways I can contact you in?

A: Here's some of my other social media links then! I'll have to mention though, I'm pretty bad at managing my social media accounts 🥲 The most reliable way to contact me as of now would be through my email.

Still, here's my details!

OTHER FUN FACTS!

Meme

  • My MBTI is INTP-T, which practically sums up how much of a mess I am :') My Clinical Psych prof did say that it's not really a reliable test for personality (explaining it requires some info about Jungian Psych, which is just a confusing theory in general -sobs-), but y'know!! Let people have fun!!!
  • I often stick to one interest for long periods of time! This is an apology to those who have recommended multiple series/songs to me, it's not you, it's me ;_;
  • My current interest is Genshin Impact! It's an open-world game that you can play on mobile, which is the type of genre I've always wanted to play as a kid!
    • I recently reached AR60, which probably is a sign for me to touch grass :')
    • You can add me if you want! My UID is 851464094! Just be sure to let me know you came from here, and ask me first before taking any stuff in my world :)
  • I have also played other games in the past:
    • Honkai: Star Rail (uninstalled, got disinterested in the game, but would probably return when Penacony releases)
    • Love Live! (EOS'd as soon as I finally got a new phone... And I never even got a UR for my best girl Hanayo, gacha is pain)
    • BanG Dream! (I unfortunately lost my account when I tried to reinstall it, and at this point CS wouldn't be able to help me since I've never spent any cent in the game ;_; RIP to my Rinko cards...)
    • Mystery Case Files (An oldie but a goodie! It's a hidden object game series that has an interesting storyline!)
  • I've also been in a lot of fandoms in the past, but I'll write them later I guess!
