(episode comment) betrothed to my sister's ex episode 3


Yup. We've got mean girls around here. Like what the heck? Hopefully, they don't fully tamper whatever confidence that Marie was slowly building in her or else... Urgh! I guess in this kind of story, especially the ones dealing with nobility, would always have this kind of people in the circle. Maybe I should read the web novel version just to be sure about what's going to happen to them. Seriously, I don't trust those two maids.

At least, Kyros and Marie were slowly communicating with each other. It's still a long way to go, though. This episode mainly tackled on the way Marie was exploring the castle where she was staying at. Just a good episode for me. Maybe even a calm before the storm, so to speak. I don't know for now.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 20


So... Sumino's sister, huh? Well, I mean, considering the length of time that the event of the disappearance happened, it shouldn't be a shock that Oto have grown. And yes, she did grow --- but had also forgotten who she was other than her name. Of course, even Sumino would be hurt by that realization. But the comatosed part that Oto mentioned... It does feel weird and then the Shinkenger ring chose her. I'm not going to point out the gyaru concept as it was really weird for me to see, even when it's also funny that I don't really mind in most points.

Okay, this is just me having questions about the show that I think would be answered some other time. As per usual, Rikuo was being perceptive about Sumino's feelings, that was why he went out to comfort her and make her understand the situation. It's his reaction about the gray-eyed man that Sumino mentioned that suddenly changed his attitude at that moment. He knew something... At least, that's one thing for sure. Now the question is --- what could that something be, enough to change Rikuo's disposition with regard to the discussion about the gray-eyed man?

And then, Fire Candle. He really never gives up, doesn't he? But what the heck? The ring actually chose him? Even if it was taken somehow by force from Oto? What's going on? Seriously? But yes, I think the next episode would be intense. I'd rather not spoil myself with any pictures with no context (too late) until I watched the episode that aired last Sunday. The last one on my list, for now, before the 22nd episode air tomorrow.

journal entry #2092

Okay. Now I decided this to be my last entry on my 15th journal. And that also means I already pulled the remaining blank papers in that journal. There's no turning back now. But seriously, that's still something crazy for me to do, you know.

Went out twice. One to the hospital and the other to the barangay hall. They needed some IDs and papers for me to photocopy. So I ended up going to town, as well after going to the hospital. Well, as expected, it was tiring that I ended up sleeping as soon as I ate and got back.

First time cooking pancit and it was a bit of a failure, I would say. It turned out to be salty. The noodles' fault, I think. But at least I got to do it, even if it was a fail at the start. I just have to be careful next time, I guess.

While walking to head home, I got to think of a new story plot --- again. Only this one is a bit brutal and tragic. There was also a sort of sentient sword involved. I think this story plot would turn out to be more of an origin story of a sort. I still have no idea why I ended up thinking of a brutal plot. So I have no idea if I'd be able to write it one of these days. This one was far more brutal than the revenge story I thought of before. Maybe I'll just fix the information in my head for now before I write anything else. I mean, this one was gory (I think) and would end in a tragedy for the FL.

Gosh! We got noisy and drunk neighbors who decided to create chaos even when it was raining hard right in front of the house. I mean, seriously? They went for it until past 10 PM. Really annoying!

journal entry #2091

Only when I saw the post about the 1990 Baguio Earthquake did I realize that today is its anniversary. Not to mention, today is also my mom's half-brother's birthday. Then again, we never actually communicated that much, so I didn't get to greet him. I don't think I want to, anyway.

It rained hard around late afternoon. And I don't mind since it was a bit hot when I went out even though it was cloudy almost all the time during the day.

I actually bought 2 A6 size notebooks. Both for the purpose of making it my journal starting today. But for some reason, I still chose to write here today. Then again, I'm still debating on when should I start using those notebooks as my journal that I can seriously carry around anywhere. Maybe tomorrow or the next day. I don't know. Hopefully, soon so I can just write anywhere I want to.

As of 6 PM today (I'm writing here at 8:29 PM), TP was sent to the OR. Here's to hoping for a successful surgery after that.

Yes, I got to continue rewriting prompts in order once again. Though I only get to do a few since I ended up going out twice.

Went out twice today. One, to the market. And two, to the hospital to bring food and clothes to Mama. So yes, it's no wonder I ended up sleeping as soon as I returned. That was tiring, obviously.

I might have to go back to the hospital again to bring some things for Mama. Hopefully, I only get to do so around 11 so I won't run to any trouble at all. We'll see.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 19


Finally got to watch another episode. I really have a habit of delaying some things, huh? But maybe I'll worry about that later. Things had gotten a little busy around here, so I might have to delay some more. Hopefully, not for too long.

That was some nasty tactic to bring someone's spirit down, Kuon. Killing someone special to your brother... He'd really fallen from grace, huh? But how did Mashiro know about Kuon's scar, by the way? Did he just sense it or was there something else about it? I'm still not convinced about him wanting to become a god or something. But Mashiro definitely knew something. What exactly happened to Kuon for him to side with the Bridan?

Well, on the good note, Hoeru had his first date, even if it's with someone who said that he shouldn't have any wish. It might be for the reason of protecting himself, but it's still sad that it was also one reason why Hoeru couldn't wish for anything in his life. Regardless of the shenanigans that the other members had put up as they followed Hoeru on his date, it looked like he had some fun with one special person. And Mashiro actually called Hoeru by his name and not "Second Gen" anymore? Are you kidding me? Then again, that could be a one time thing. But at least he didn't find it in him to criticize or anything. Maybe that's why that new combination happened. He knew something and he lent his own powers.

I don't know. Maybe that's just my thought about it. 😁✌️

(episode comment) private tutor to the duke's daughter episode 3


I was supposed to post this yesterday. But I don't know why I ended up putting that on hold. Anyway, here we are again. At least, I got to watch this and now, I'm placing my own comment about it. I think that's for the best, right?

So they managed to overcome the first hurdle and that was releasing whatever was hindering Tina's mana. But yikes! That's some kind of power. Now the real problem comes --- and that is her control of her own mana. She did have affinity to ice magic and probably even more talented than her predecessors. The question here now was about the entity that appeare while Allen was trying to link with Tina's mana. What the heck was that? It definitely looked ancient and according to Allen, it was the one hindering Tina's magic. But why?

And why was the duke seemed to be against Tina going to the academy even though he did make a promise to Allen about that issue? Well, at least Allen managed to convince the duke otherwise through the duchess' symbol. Probably her own mark that would guide her daughter in her journey. Could she have known about Tina's magic? Could she have known something about what's going to happen?

Anyway, one more test before Allen could decide whether or not the two girls would be able to head to the Royal Academy. Let's see what happens next.

journal entry #2088

Finished watching third episode of "Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter". Though I don't think I'd be able to write any episode comment today. I'm already sleepy, to be honest, and my eyes just keep drooping.

Done some more prompts rewriting in order. I still have a lot to rewrite, that's for sure.

Ended up downloading the light novel version of "Secrets Of The Silent Witch". Kind of got curious when I watched the first two episodes of the anime version.

Downloaded some videos to watch offline ftom Youtube. I only chose the topics that interested me at the moment.

Mama did another batch of laundry again, but mainly to wash her blanket. She just doesn't like the smell of her blanket, that's why. And yes, we were taking advantage of the early sun before it gets foggy or it started raining again.

(episode comment) betrothed to my sister's ex episode 2


Yup. Kyros really made the biggest mistake right there. And now, he's gonna have to make it up to Marie who really still believe that she was just a replacement for her sister. I mean, it'll be a hard work for him ---both to prove his intentions and feelings were true and also to make Marie finally see that she wasn't a replacement.

Even so, at least it was clear that there would be people who are willing to care for Marie and help her in more ways than one. That everything she was experiencing at the moment was not a dream. That it was, in fact, meant for her. It would obviously take time. But it seems that the maid (I forgot what her name was) was willing to do the necessary work to make sure Marie was treated right and in accordance to her new status. Hopefully, there wasn't some real bummer situation to appear that would ruin what they have at the moment.

journal entry #2086

Went out to go to the market today. Good thing it wasn't raining that much. Here's to hoping the sun finally rises and shines all the way tomorrow. We really needed to hang those laundry to dry properly. Though I honestly wish that we have a dryer so we don't have to worry about the clothes being smelly just because it wasn't dried properly.


Just finished watching Episodes 5 and 6 of "私の夫と結婚して". Yup, we're definitely in the middle already and things just got even more intense. We were rewarded with another ML POV. This time, he actually met Misa's father and got to talk to him. This was a different one from the Korean version as Ji-hyuk actually got to talk to Ji-won's father who was basically a spirit. While Wataru talked to Misa's father sometime before the father died. One thing I noticed, though. Did Misa's father die of the same condition as Misa? He did touch his stomach when the length of his life was mentioned. More chaos ensued. But the turning point that Misa wanted to happen had finally occured. She was able to pass her fate of getting married to Tomoya to Reina. Now I can't wait for another Friday to come just so I can watch the next two episodes. Weird, huh?

journal entry #2085

My second sister didn't go to work today since she wasn't feeling well. Then again, she did warn me about that yesterday. Though it's a bummer that she wa not allowed to drink any medicine or pain reliever as it might affect the baby.

Went out to go to the market to buy some more ingredients again. Though, because of my second sister's fever, I ended up having to buy just fever patches and onion leaves. Budget was limited so I only need to buy just these 2.

Managed to continue rewriting quotes in order.

Continued reading "In Another World With Household Spells" up to 72%. I mean, from 9% yesterday? That's seriously a lot.

Why is it that I can't decide to focus on learning just one language? This is why I hate my fickle-mindedness sometimes. But I guess I'm focusing on something. Maybe at some point, that's a good thing? Honestly, I don't know anymore.

Should I actually start reading Tagalog historical romance on Wattpad? I don't know what made me think of doing that, to be honest. Though I love history, I was never that invested in Filipino history. Was that a bad thing to think about?
