(book comment) Kusunoki's Garden Of Gods Volume 2

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

I mean, the story is still fine. But maybe the whole book proceeded a little slow for me. I still enjoyed it, over all. The same way I enjoyed the anime adaptation.

Just one thing I keep telling to myself whenever I would watch paranormal investigation shows on Youtube (especially on Youtube), never go to the comment section and read other people's opinion on the episode. Because whether you like it or not, there would be people out there ruining it for you with their skepticism and bullshits. That's their opinion, though. Not mine. I can respect that. But it's not the same as actually accepting that. The comments — good or bad — would still ruin them for me. It's bullshit for them, but not for me. It's staged for them, that's not the case for me. I guess this is why I tend to download the episodes instead and watch them offline so that I wouldn't have that urge to look at the comments.

(book comment) The Frontier Lord Begins With Zero Subjects Volume 1

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Enjoyed reading it, even though I only decided to start reading this after seeing the anime adaptation. Why is that, though? But I think I'll worry about that later. What matters to me is that I got to finish reading another book.

(book comment) Heroine? Saint? No, I'm An All-Works Maid! Volume 1

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

This is actually a 4.5 for me. I just love it. So now I'm wondering why I DNF'd it several months ago. I can't recall the reason now. Was that a weird thing to say? But I guess it's okay now. At least I finally finished reading this. I guess I have to thank the anime adaptation of this for igniting my desire to read this again. It paid off, so to speak.

(book comment) "One More Summer" by J. Collette Smith

Thank you so much to the author and also P.S. I Love You PR for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I'm truly grateful to receive this copy ahead of the release date. By the way, I hope I'm not way too early in posting my thoughts about this book. But I can't help it, so here I am.

Hope From Love's Memories - Chapter 5

'Ano'ng ibig niyang sabihin doon? Just because he wanted to? Bakit naman?'

Hindi mawala-wala sa isipan ni Ilsie ang mga katagang binanggit ni Francis sa kanya mula nang huling beses siyang magtungo sa mansyon ng mga Guardians. May tatlong araw na rin ang nakalilipas mula nang mangyari iyon.

Pero siya lang yata ang nagbibigay ng pahiwatig sa mga sinabi nito dahil sigurado naman siya na walang ibang ibig sabihin iyon.

Banjou (KR Build)/Fuuka (Ninninger): Smile Seared In Memory

How is it that whenever I close my eyes and force myself to forget you, your smile that was seared in my memory would always stop me from doing so? — Florence Joyce

If one would deem him as crazy, maybe he would truly believe so. However, the only reason why he kept scratching his hair was due to his frustration. As per usual, he hadn't gotten enough sleep. This had already happened for two weeks in a row. Any more of this would truly hamper his health.

Then again, it wasn't like Banjou could do something about it until he finally got to the root of the problem.

Stinger/Hammie (Kyuranger): Devote My All

Even for just a little, as long as you can smile for me, I will become a knight of dusk and devote to you my all... — Pray, Mizuki Nana

The last of the enemies were taken down and destroyed. The path heading home should have been opened after that. But it never did. It made everything worrisome for both Stinger and Hammie who seemed to have become stuck in that realm.

Not that they actually expected to be sent there while fighting. And yet, here they were. Unable to get out of the trap that they fell into, they could only hope at that moment that someone would come to help. For sure, their disappearance wouldn't go unnoticed to their teammates.

Agri (Goseiger)/Kasumi (Ninninger): We're Together Now

We might have already lost count on the chances we should've taken. But even so, we're together now and I couldn't ask for anything else... --- Florence Joyce

Call it a crazy feeling on her part, but Kasumi had already had the urge to go outside the house for quite some time now. And to think she would rarely do that when her research would take up much of her time and attention. This time, however, it was different.

Perhaps she really needed that breath of fresh air after several failed attempts with regard to perfecting her invention once again. Of course, she knew she had to finish it. It was for her and her cousins, after all. It was something that could aid them in fighting, even after they defeated Kibaoni Gengetsu.

journal entry #2235

Went out to head to the market around noon to buy ingredients for dinner. As per usual. And also maybe think of something to cook for Angel's lunch box tomorrow. Another thing for me to be annoyed at my sister for being too dependent.

I ended up removing the extra pages (unnecessary stuffs and extra dates) from that 2026 planner I bought. I only noticed today that there's only one page for Saturdays and Sundays. Why did people who made this assume that people only have something short to write on weekends? I guess I might end up pasting extra papers on them just in case the entries would end up a lot more than expected.

Still dealing with intense coughing that even the cough medicine that I usually consume doesn't have an effect on me to dissipate it. Kind of annoying since my coughings were forcing me to throw up what I ate previously. They're not intentional, but yes. It's starting to become that painful for me and my throat. I felt like my throat ended up having some injury because of those coughs and when I throw up. Hopefully, that's just my own thinking and nothing like that is actually happening.

Because things were busy here, I haven't managed to do anything rewritings. I did manage to watch about two documentaries I downloaded while contemplating on certain things as the clean-up was happening.
