journal entry #2531

Second day of my red days, and yes, it was still painful and incredibly annoying to deal with once again. As if there was anything new about it at the moment. It's cold, so that makes it even worse for me right now.

Finally finished watching all episodes of "Strangest Things" today. I can continue watching "Secrets of Ancient Structures" since I've only watched the first episode of it so far.

I have been thinking of posting pictures every single day on my IG and maybe even X and of course, my blog. Still thinking if I should do the same on Facebook. But I think I'll decide on that later. I did have photos ready already. Now I just need to figure out what to write as a caption. Is that a weird thing to think about? I mean, I really want to be, in a way, active in social media, even when what I want to post would be a bunch of nonsense and just anything about my life lately. The real problem would be committing to it fully.

Sadly, I didn't get to do any writing or reading today because all I wanted to do was to sleep. But since the babysitting duty that I can't really escape is here, there was no other way around it, to be honest. Kind of crazy, if you ask me. I still have one more day before I can say that I can rest and escape from any more babysitting. And that would be on Friday and the weekends. One day is still a long time for me, sadly.

journal entry #2530

It's the start of my red days and right off the bat, it became so painful. I mean, it was still bearable, but still something that I have to endure. I guess the cold weather is starting to kick in here where I live.

Same old things done today. But I think the one difference is that I have to do them while dealing with menstrual cramps, and that's a lot more annoying than usual. 

There's the babysitting done to my nephew, of course. And then the chores to do along with it. I ended up cooking dinner for tonight, by the way.

I didn't get to do any reading since my mind couldn't properly concentrate. No writing stories done, either, and that's even more annoying to me than anything else.

I continued adding lines to that new batch of loose papers with my mind really wandering to the part where I could finally and properly write stories on them.

journal entry #2527

Dahil sa nawawalang after bites ng pamangkin ko, bigla tuloy napalinis sa buong bahay. And I mean a really big overhaul. I mean, come on! Don't do something that will piss people off in the house, especially the ones who constantly stayed here.

Because of that, they ended up hauling a large amount of trash that I would be throwing tomorrow. And trust me, they would be heavy to the point that it's annoying.

My muscles are tired, that's for sure. Especially the ones on my thighs and arms. Then again, with all the heavy lifting needed to be done, that's not something surprising.

Same old activities done after all that general cleaning. Reading a few pages of the light novel I chose to read, watching documentaries, and even adding lines to another batch of one part of the loose papers. I don't think any of these activities would change anytime soon, especially the reading and the watching part since I still have a lot of light novels and other books waiting for me to read and also other documentary series that I've been eager to watch.

(book comment) The World's Strongest Witch Volume 1

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.5

Finished reading this yesterday and nearly forgot to write a comment about this book. But yeah, I guess you could say finishing this book finally made me reach my Goodreads goal. This was both fun and cringy, especially the internet slang that I kept on seeing that only made me laugh a lot. But yeah, I guess you could say that I only started reading this because of the anime adaptation that I watched. Despite the cringiness, I'd still continue reading the next volume... once I finally finish the other ones in my TBR.

(book comment) The Weakest Tamer Began The Journey Of Picking Up Trash Volume 13

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I actually finished reading this yesterday, but I only got to write any comment on this one today since I can't fully concentrate. I guess that's what happens when you're really tired — both physically and even mentally (at least for the day).

I can already tell that this arc would also be long, just like the Hataka arc. I mean, that arc was two volumes long, just so you know. Not to mention, this arc looked like it would deal with two major issues — the brainwashing and even the drug addicts. Oh, and should I add the issues about the berserk monsters, as well? Yup, it was a crazy read.

Now I can't wait to read the next volume — and that would be coming out in December, according to Seven Seas. Yes, I know. It's still a long wait for the next volume.

journal entry #2520

Watched episodes of "The Alaska Triangle" while adding margins and lines to some of the loose papers that I have.

Did some babysitting even when my second sister and TP were here.

Mama and my second sister went out to head to the market to buy some vegetables for my second nephew.

I actually remembered just today that I forgot to pay for the electric bill. And to think the due date was yesterday. What the heck? Then again, I guess it can't be helped. I really thought I already paid it. Okay, so I have to go out tomorrow. I just have to figure out how to mention to Miko about it since she might have also thought that I already paid for the bill.

I got to finally continue doing some rewriting of prompts. I think I already reached three quarters of it. Or maybe 2/3 of it. I guess I'm gonna have to calculate again.

Did get to read a few pages of Volume 13 of "The Weakest Tamer". At least I'm making some progress about it. If only I could say the same thing to my writings.

journal entry #2519

Tired from all the babysitting duties that Mama and I had to do since my second sister and TP arrived a little later than usual today. Can't do anything about it, I guess.

Got to watch some more episodes of "The Alaska Triangle" and also downloaded episodes of "Terror In The Woods".

Start of the new month for the last quarter of 2027 and I still don't know what to call about my life during the entire year. Not sure if it's something I should even be thinking about at the moment.

Added lines to the loose papers I cut from the used calendar paper I removed. Yup, more papers to use for writing... if only I could finally use them to write those pending and new stories already.

I did get to do some rewriting... but not as much as I would want to since things were seriously busy around here. You know, babysitting and other chores.

(book comment) Al The Adventurer: That Magic Shouldn't Work! Volume 1

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

I mean, it's an okay read for me. Maybe not what I expected when I first saw the story description. In any case, I'm just glad that I get to finish reading this. I think I'd be able to read the first volume once it's available. The concept of the magic here was great, though a little confusing to me at first. Then again, once you got use to it, it wouldn't be. Too much explanation and not much action, I guess. Maybe that's what made it hard for me to finish reading this in one go.

(book comment) A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring Volume 2

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It took a while, but I'm done reading this. A whole lot more adventure awaited them in, like, every turn. But yes, new town and new adventures so that's great for them. I think the anime version of this had followed the story as faithfully as they could, so I'm glad about that. Now it only makes me want to read the next volume soon. Hopefully, I do get to find it soon.

Stinger (Kyuranger)/Sela (Zyuohger): At Least, For You And Me

I still believe that the sun will shine one day. At least, for you and me who still believes in the feelings we chose to forsake because of our dreams... --- florence joyce

"Are we really allowed to attend here? I don't think we even have any reason to do this."

At least, that was what Sela said to Amu when all of a sudden that day, she just dragged her out of her room during what was supposed to be her rest day. Of course, as she had already expected, the rest of her friends, even Yamato, just allowed Amu to get on with it.
