Saturday Night Thoughts # 3

I can’t believe I’d be able to write another Saturday Night Thoughts since right now, as I write this, I’m beat. Dead tired, if you want another description. But to inform you who were reading this post, this is actually the very first entry I’m writing here in a new room. That’s right, we’ve just more to our new house (though we’re still renting since we can’t afford to buy one). I have lots of hopes now that we’ve finally relocated. Thankfully, the atmosphere inside the house isn’t that heavy or depressing.

But even though I said that the atmosphere is quite good, I’m actually worried about my approved manuscript’s SOR (Sales Of Rights). It’s been more than a month since my manuscript was approved and yet it hasn’t arrived yet. It’s frustrating me, in case you don’t know. And to think I need it the most right now. Well, at least the cheque that goes with it. But I’ll do my best to be patient. I’ll breath in and out to calm myself in order to think positive about it. I’ll try, but it won’t guarantee me a big amount of help.

And I Cried...

...which is seriously an indication that I’m almost at my limit. Or at least my patience and understanding. I don’t know the concrete reason why I cried. But one thing I know, life as you try to put up with people who doesn’t appreciate every bit of your effort really sucks. For real. And then I’ll be including those who only notice your mistakes and monitors every move you make, as if just waiting for you to commit them.

Okay, enough with the English introduction. In fairness, masyado pala akong ma-drama kapag nagsusulat ng English, ah. Pasensiya naman po. Sobrang frustrated lang. Nakakainis pa! Pasalamat na lang talaga at ayokong sumisigaw even though I’m already at my limit. I never do that even if I had the urge to do something like that. Hanggang iyak lang talaga ako. Okay na ako sa walang tigil na pagtulo ng luha at paminsan-minsang pagsinghot para walang uhog na tumulo. Mas mabuti na `yon.

"The Last Sky Of The Earth" Pinoy Version?

Lately, I've been thinking of creating a Filipino version of my Wattpad story "The Last Sky Of The Earth". Especially 'yong Book 1 na "The Hunt For The Dark Rose". Yes, I've written it in Tagalog-English.

What I mean about the Filipino version is that the portrayers I'm going to use would be local artists. And the names of the characters aren't in Japanese.

Ang tanong, may magbabasa ba?

#ALDubEBTamangPanahon: THIS IS IT, FINALLY! (Thoughts On AlDub/Kalyeserye Episode 87)

I know this is a late post. May hangover pa rin ako sa mga pangyayari last Saturday. I’ll try my best not to make a long (and possibly boring) post about this one. Anyway, pasensiya na po kayo—sa mga nagbabasa ng mga post ko kung meron man po—kung may mga boring post ako sa account kong ito. Mas marami lang po kasi akong nasasabi sa tuwing nagsusulat ako. Hopefully, my hand could keep up with my mind in writing all my thoughts about this one.

Isa lang talaga ang masasabi ko all in all. It was surreal. Honestly, kahit tinotopak ang signal ng TV sa cellphone ko kung saan ako nanonood ng Kalyeserye, I could still feel that magical feeling between Maine and Alden. Thank goodness, the most awaited time had finally arrived for both of them. Tama nga si Alden, ang tagal ding naghintay ng lahat for this grand and special day. And truthfully, it was worth the wait. Isa ito sa mga perfect example ng katagang iyon. Because the moment it all happened, the moment it all unfolded in front of us who waited, the feeling it all gave to us was overwhelming. Napaiyak pa nga tayo, `di ba? Oo, aaminin ko. Isa ako sa mga umiyak dahil sa tuwa at overwhelming na saya. Siguro, mas mararamdaman ko pa iyon nang husto kung kasama ako sa mga nanood sa Philippine Arena. But ever since talaga, Team Bahay na ako sa kahit na anong major events na nangyari. Bukod sa takot akong mag-travel nang mag-isa paalis ng Baguio, wala rin akong pambili ng ticket. So I settled in watching the events dito sa bahay.

STORY IDEAS FOR “HERE’S MY HEART” SETS OF ROMANCE SERIES

Right now, kahit hindi naman dapat, I’m planning to add another batch of guys for this series. Actually, I’m thinking of another boy group. Hehe! Pumasok na nga sa isip ko ang 2PM, FT Island, TVXQ, JYJ, SS501 at SHINee, eh. As much as possible, hindi mag-e-exceed sa 10 ang members nila. Ewan ko lang kung bakit pero naisip ko ring isama ang One Direction (although I’m not a fan of them). Hehe! What the heck lang? Dinadagdagan ko na naman ang pahirap sa buhay ko as writer. Ang dami pa kayang naka-line up. But since makulit ako at ang utak ko, sige lang. Mabuti na ‘yong may nakaplano ako kaysa naman wala.

Heto na ang final list ng mga ipi-feature kong boy group sa bawat batch. At may nadagdag pang dalawang batch. Hay, kinakarir ko na lang talaga. Haha!

Here’s My Heart: In Search For Love — This is the title for the first batch and it consists of the members of 2AM, containing four stories. So far, this is the only batch that has four stories.

Here’s My Heart: Finding Destiny — For Batch 2, featuring the members of SHINee (as @LittleRedYasha requested), and this batch contains five stories.

Here’s My Heart: Heavenly Days — Batch 3 will feature the 6 members of 2PM, making six stories. This is the only batch that has this number of stories.

Here’s My Heart: Countdown To Love — For the fourth batch which will consists of five stories featuring the members of SS501.

Here’s My Heart: Night Of Romance — The fifth batch will tell five stories featuring the members of TVXQ and JYJ combined.

Here’s My Heart: Till Beyond Eternity — This will be the sixth and final batch of the set of series and will feature FT Island’s members, telling five stories.

Saturday Night Thoughts # 2

It’s night time. I’m here on my bed, listening over and over to my favorite Japanese songs. What’s worst? My head hurts—a lot. Actually, my head hurts since this morning. I don’t know if it was the effect of waking up way early or something else. One thing I know, one reason is because of thinking too much.

I do that all the time, no doubt about that. When you had so many dreams and ideas you wanted to implement, I’m sure you can relate. Or maybe I’m just assuming you could. Well, people don’t only think of dreams, of fantasies, or desires alone. Most of us, and that includes me, also thinks of frustrations, problems, of pains that come. For me, I can say I’m overthinking a lot of things. Watching AlDub or KalyeSerye isn’t enough to dissipate it, unfortunately.

A Letter To: The One Who Broke My Heart

I should’ve written this letter a long time ago and gave it to you. But I should’ve done before, when I was still a naive high school girl. I’ve graduated from college for more than a year now. But somehow, what you did to break my heart back then was still here in my heart. Yes, it subsided somehow as time passed. And yet the pain you’ve inflicted in my heart was enough for me to realize over time that I’ve become afraid to love, to entrust my heart to someone after that. It’s quite frustrating, to be honest. But I don’t know if I’d be able to find a way to get rid of this feeling.

It’s been so long since it happened and I’m well aware of that. But you know one thing? My mom was right. It’s easy for me to forgive someone. Then again, I’m a person who’s having a hard time forgetting. Especially about things like people who broke my heart. Of course, you didn’t know that. I see you before as a cruel—or maybe just cold-hearted—person who tore that piece of paper in which I poured my thoughts about how I feel about you. I thought at the time that it was okay for me to do such a thing. That I should be the one to make the first move.

Book Comment: "Para Sa Hopeless Romantic" by Marcelo Santos III

This is actually the first book from Lifebooks na binili ko. I was still in 3rd year college (2nd semester to be exact) nang bilhin ko ang librong ito. If I remember, kasagsagan pa yata iyon ng kasikatan ng “Diary Ng Panget” kasi bagong labas lang. Hindi ko na nga lang maalala kung ano ba dapat ang librong bibilhin ko instead of PSHR.

Anyway, I doubt if I’ll be able to remember it.

Balik tayo sa issue.

Book Comment: "Fangirl Meets Superman" by Aivan Reigh Vivero

First and foremost, sabihin na natin na marami akong gustong ipagpasalamat sa librong ito. It may not be the first book from Lifebooks that I read (‘Para Sa Hopeless Romantic’ has that title, though). But this is the book that made me realize kung gaano talaga ako ka-outdated sa mundo ng internetlandia (or at least isa ito sa mga terms na nakita ko sa libro). Kung hindi dahil sa book na ito, hindi ko pa malalaman na nag-e-exist pala ang isang Kimpoy Feliciano. Hehe! Noon ko rin lang nalaman na may Tumblr palang nag-e-exist sa internet.

Hay… Ako na ang ignorante’t outdated. Anyway, inaamin ko naman iyon at ganoon pa rin naman ako hanggang ngayon. Kaya huwag magtaka kung bakit minsan ay para akong nao-OP sa mga latest na usapan ng mga nilalang ngayon. But anyway, it’s not I could easily change that.

Back to the topic na nga lang.

Book Comment: "My Kuya's Assistant" by Sharmyn Bacayo

I don’t know if I should call this a review dahil sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam kung paano gumawa ng matinong book review. Or maybe nakalimutan ko lang. kaya ang itatawag ko na lang dito, mahaba-habang comment. Hehe! Honestly, I don’t know how to make a book review. Hindi ko na rin napanindigan ang minsang sinabi ko na magko-comment ako per chapter (parang Wattpad lang). Kaya ganito na lang.
