(episode comment) betrothed to my sister's ex episode 1

This is one of the anime that I've been waiting to watch, even if I know I have to deal with another story involving some God-forsaken, rotten-to-the-core, favoring-one-over-the-other kind of family. Urgh! Why did they treat Marie that way, seriously? I could just punch all of them. Well, at least she's out of that family's house now that she would be engaged to the duke. Wait, was he a duke? I wasn't paying much attention. Sorry.

But at least we're sure that Kyros really liked Marie. The real problem would be on Marie's end entirely. Not only does she believe that she was a replacement for her sister who was said to have died, she never really had any reason to believe that she deserve his affection and care. Then again, growing up in that kind of family and household, with nothing but people constantly telling her how useless and undesirable Marie was, there's no surprise her self-esteem was that low.

Extremely low to the point that you would just want to shake her out of that mindset. Well, I think the people around the duke would be able to do that. Hopefully, Marie would start to learn to be confident, especially as someone who Kyros truly chose to be his wife.

It's a good start for me. Now I have another anime that I can watch that I (hopefully) wouldn't drop in the middle. 😁✌️

journal entry #2078

Seriously contemplating on switching to a new notebook already. The smaller one, of course. Then again, I'd really rather my current journal filled up all the way through. Not to mention, if I did switch to a smaller notebook, I still need to buy that notebook. Definitely smaller than a composition notebook. But slightly bigger than a pocket notebook. Anyway, I think I'll figure it out later.

Went out to head to the market — even when it was raining.

Before that, Mama and I did the laundry since we knew we won't be able to hung them dry properly once those visitors for whatever celebration that the landlord was cooking up would arrive.

Continued reading "The Secret Of The Golden Pavilion" while I was trying to figure out something. I'm already at 72% of the book (page 133). Just some more push and I'll be done reading that. Not sure when, though.

It really felt like Kasumi was losing it. It felt like that dreaded feeling of losing everything. Right in front of you, at that. It was scary. It was heart-wrenching.

However, it wasn't something she could stop no matter what she did. Or was it supposed to feel that way? There had to be a way, right?

(episode comment) shirohiyo: reincarnated as a neglected noble episode 12 (final)

So we've reached the end already. I can only just pout as I've actually wished they make it a bit longer, you know. This one was a really good anime for me. Or maybe I wasn't just the type to enjoy the anime that majority of the people likes, unless they're within the things that I like. Not sure if I made any sense here, though.

I didn't think they would end this on the part that Princess Hyakka had to leave for the whole winter and be back in spring, though. It's like saying that there's still something to look forward to. But hey, maybe the studio will do something about that. For now, I can only wish. 😁✌️

Ageha is definitely too young to start a company, obviously. But everything he would create surely caused some sort of chaos enough for some trouble to come — good or bad. Though it might not be that obvious at the moment, there would definitely be trouble brewing around. Especially with the matter of his god-forsaken parents. At least, that's how I woud call them. Then again, he wouldn't be alone in making his wishes and dreams happen. He was doing his best to secure a future for Regulus, after all. Regardless of the future that he knew, he was still doing it. It was for the sake of his brother and all of the people in Kikunoi, after all.

I will surely miss their cuteness, though. Especially the siblings. And now, looks like Kanade was included in the mix. He was the siblings' first friend, after all. And one day, hopefully, one of their greatest ally and confidante. That would be really great for all of them. Anyway, since I can't expect a second season anytime soon (even when it looked like it might not happen), I'll just continue reading the web novel version of this. 😊✌️❤️

(episode comment) private tutor to the duke's daughter episode 1

I just found this anime yesterday and only got to finish watching it today. Though I've seen the trailers before, it didn't really catch much of my interest. But I did try to find the light novel version for me to reach, just for me to have a gist of what the story was about. Haven't even made it 25% of the first volume — only because I was reading something else. 😁😁

Going back to the topic, I mean the start is good. At least for me, the graphics are okay, except for that last part with the eight candles. Most part of it were in 3D. Then again, maybe I'm the only one who was "complaining" about that. Tina and Ellie are both ditzy in their own rights. Especially Ellie, of course. But both of them do wanted to learn magic for their own reasons. So I guess determination was there for both of them.

I was wondering why Allen failed his magic exam when he could do such magic. But when I cheated a bit by reading his profile online (sorry! 😭😭), it looked like someone was behind it. So he wasn't exactly that inept when it comes to magic. Now I want to see how his journey as a private tutor would go from here on out. At least, I got to watch a new anime after that last one I finished.

Field day, huh? Not that I can relate since we don't have that from where I live. Or maybe there is... only that I can't fully remember. Hehe! This episode was a bit lively, in my opinion. Lively because of sports, that is. We get to see another moment of Hoeru and Rikuo teaming up again. Or maybe Rikuo was feeling something whenever Hoeru would mention about his past — especially those that he hsd experienced in the No-One World. Things he never get to experience and things he also experienced (although we've only seen a glimpse of that before).

Like I said, at least give the guy a benefit of a doubt... somehow. I still can't take Mashiro's ego, though. So I'll leave it at that. Even so, I think he would give exceptions to some people when it comes to showing affection. Kids, I think, was one of them. Another reason why I wanted to give Mashiro a benefit of a doubt for his reasons to wanting to surpass Tega Sword was his experience after winning the Universe War. I mean, gosh! Sealed for 10,000 years? Even I would be pissed off. But I think there was something more to that. Something else happened. He must have learned something, heard something, seen something... Anything that would immensely fuel that desire to surpass the one who you piloted before in order to win that war.

For now, let's see if we can find out more as the upcoming episodes will be aired in the next coming Sundays. 😁✌️

Souji (Kyoryuger)/Kotoha (Shinkenger): Chance To Protect A Future

Chances are something I chose to ignore before. But now that I have a battle to face, a chance to protect a future with you is what I need to grasp... — Florence Joyce

Souji could only heave several deep breaths right after finishing off the last of the monsters that suddenly spawned off from the sewers. It was just supposed to be an ordinary day that he was planning to spend alone as he tried to think of a way to finally implement his plan.

But then, this happened.

journal entry #2072

Wow! This has never happened before. Me, in the middle of debating whether to write, to read or to watch. But it's more than the first 2, to be honest. That was weird that I couldn't even help smiling as I write here.

Got to continue reading "By The Light Of The Study Lamp" by Carolyn Keene. I was able to find a way to read that PDF copy of the book comfortably. How come I didn't get to do that before? It would've spared me headache that I felt whenever I had to read PDF books in my reader app.

I got to continue writing that Souji/Kotoha one-shot and I actually finished it! What do you know? It's been a while since I got to finish writing something. I'm glad I didn't put it on hold for days again.

Went out to go to the market. As usual, to buy ingredients — but mainly bangus since Mama needed it for her pinakbet. I also ended up buying ingredients for sinigang sa miso. That didn't take long, sure. But I sure do end up falling asleep in jeepneys lately, it was weird for me. I don't know, but that's how it feels to me, for some reason.

journal entry #2071

Wow! I actually got to finish reading a book — after a long while. The only thing I did was to increase the font size of my ebook reader on my phone and also the line spacing. I also had to choose a font that would be comfortable to my eyes. I only did what I've seen in Youtube on how to read faster. But since I only have an android phone as a device that I can use, I changed the tactic a little bit. Let's just say that it was, in a way, inspired by a suggestion about using OpenDyslexic as a font. I used a different font, but it still allowed me to finish reading Volume 2 of Campfire Cooking In Another World.

Went out to go to the market again today. I ended up walking from home to town because there was no jeepney available and I didn't want to wait. It was a bit hot, but I didn't mind.

I'm able to do some writing today! Yay! It's been a while. I'm writing a one-shot, by the way. A crossover fanfic featuring Souji and Kotoha. I'm actually going to try finishing it tonight after this. Still, no hard feelings if I couldn't.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 16

One thing I can say about Mashiro — too arrogant, too sure about himself, too much hate (I think) for Tega Sword, and a tad bit annoying. Yup. Probably even worse for me than Ryugi. At the moment, I don't like him. I don't care if he was strong. I don't care if he was the previous winner of the Universe Ring War. If he didn't fix his attitude towards Hoeru and the others, then I will continue disliking this guy. Of course, for now, I'm giving him the benefit of a doubt since there has to be a story as to why he wanted to surpass Tega Sword. But why did he help Hoeru remember what happened in the old world? Never mind the fact that Mashiro was condescending to Hoeru and his lack of wish. But he still helped him. Why? What was the reason?

Then the Prince of Destruction. Well, he was indeed a baby that can talk if I were to base it on his own confusion for his existence and why he was even born. He wasn't made aware of his exact purpose that Tega June and the Bridan wanted to exploit. But I guess Mashiro came right in time to at least rewrite that — or not. Who knows. At least the world didn't disappear. It was just changed. Now the question was that how in the world did Rikuo and the others managed to break free from the illusion of that world that was created because of that last fight. And how did Hoeru's ring remained with him? What was the reason?

I'm doing this one episode a day in order to give way to other activities that I need to do in a day. That means, two more episodes and then I'll catch up. I know I mentioned that in my previous episode comment for this series. But yes, it took me a while before I could review to those previous two. And now, the 18th episode caught up with me. Don't worry. I can do this.
