(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.

Hikari (ToQger)/Kasumi (Ninninger): Knowing You Believe Me


I admit I'm still thinking of crying. But knowing you still believe me, I'll do my best to stop it... - florence joyce

xxxxxx

"Weren't you supposed to be waiting for him now? Why are you still here?"

Those were the words that Fuuka started saying as soon as she entered Kasumi's lab that day together with Mio and Kagura who managed to take a day off. They did it in order to not only visit Kasumi, but also to help her get ready for that big day.

journal entry #2478

Not really sure what to make of the fact that in 9 days, I would be turning 34 — and still nothing much has been going on in my life. Kind of crazy, right? And then there's also the overnight beach trip that we would be having this Saturday — if it actually goes on. But hey, I think it will.

I did get to start another chapter of TLSOTE after finally adding the last sentences to finish Chapter 126 of that story. However, now I'm debating if this new chapter that I started should be Chapter 127 or 128. And I think I should already start following the title outlines I made for that story for me to be able to write faster.

Went out to head to the market to buy some additional ingredients for dinner tonight and some other nights, as well.

By the way, it was still raining on and off and the sun would also show up on and off. Definitely enough to drive someone nuts in a way.

Ended up watching 6 episodes of Expedition Unknown and started downloading episodes of the second season of Expedition Files. Better to collect episodes for me to watch while I'm on a trip.

I did get to do some reading, but not fully reading a chapter. This time, I chose to start reading Volume 2 of A Journey Through Another World.

journal entry #2477

What should I expect? It's still raining, so I can't really do anything about it. Even with that, napilitan pa rin akong lumabas dahil kailangan kong pumunta sa palengke. As per usual, buying missing condiments and ingredients.

Didn't get to do another round of writing once again dahil hindi ko na alam kung ano ang nangyayari sa akin at sa utak ko. O siguro hindi ko pa rin magawang puwersahin ang sarili ko na maging consistent in this one. Kind of crazy, if you ask me.

Wala na namang pasok si TP but as for my second sister, since nasa accounting siya nakatoka, kailangan niyang pumasok para sa aayusing pampasuweldo sa mga empleyado. At least, that's what I heard.

I did get to read a chapter of Volume 12 of "The Weakest Tamer".

I ended up watching about 6 episodes of Expedition Unknown and also downloaded the episodes for Expedition Unknown: Search For The Extraterrestrial. There was another one I want to download soon and that was Expedition Unknown: Hunt For The Yeti. I wanted to search for the last part of the "Search For The Afterlife" mini series of EU. But I can't seem to find it. I'll just download the other episodes for Seasons 2-4 of Expedition Files for now after the Yeti one.

As mentioned yesterday, walang pasok ngayon sina Second Sister at TP. At mukhang wala rin silang pasok bukas dahil nag-iba na naman ang takbo ng panahon.

Umaraw nga ng ilang oras. Hindi naman consistent. Just something to drive someone crazy with all these weather changes.

Maybe because I didn't go out at all today, and haven't done that much babysitting since my second sister and TP were here, I was able to watch 10 episodes of Expedition Unknown. How did I do that? I guess this is something I kept on forgetting to mention. I actually played the videos in 1.5x speed. And believe it or not, I still get to understand the whole thing.

Also, because of that, I didn't get to do any writing or reading. I did, however, downloaded 6 ebooks and posted Chapter 125 of tlsote on Dreame. I mean, finally.

Got to finally download all available episodes of Legendary Locations and the first 4 episodes of Expedition Files. I might decide to redownload episodes of Destination Truth before proceeding to download episodes of Expedition X.

(book comment) The Petty Villain Plays By The Rules Volume 1


Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Not bad, I guess. It was still a fine story for me, even though I didn't like some of the characters, especially the ones from the nobility and even the royal couple. Oh, well. I guess that's just me.

Do you know what I kept on saying whenever I'd look for books to read or to add to my TBR these days? If it has spice, stay out of my sight. I guess I got a little allergic to reading those books after reading quite an amount of it back then.

By the way, I'm 33 turning 34 this August. I might have read a decent amount of books with spice and smuts in them in the span of nearly a decade. That ended early April of this year.

Was that weird?

in the middle of trying to put my mind in a mode that would allow me to write stories and let me finish chapter 125 of "the last sky of the earth".

i mean, come on.

i really have to finish writing that story already.
