The Sunday Currently # 4

Yup, I know I haven’t posted something like this last week. The same goes to my Saturday Night Thoughts blog. I wasn’t really hyped up to write anything about what happened to me this past week. I was all down and I tended to procrastinate about… almost everything. I don’t know. A lot had happened and all I did was to rant—which is a really bad habit of mine, by the way. Don’t be like that. It won’t do you good.

But then, it was a good thing that my SOR finally arrived and I was able to send it back for me to have everything settled about it. And I was able to finish a few of my pending stories—so far. Hopefully, I’ll be able to have the same energy to do what I need to do with regards to my writings.

In other words, I hope I’d be able to beat procrastination for good. Hopefully…

So this Sunday, I’m currently:

Saturday Night Thoughts # 6

I know I haven’t posted something like this last week. Well, wala po kasi sa focus ang utak ko that time at ang tanging laman lang ay pulos rants at kung anu-ano pang hindi ko na dapat ilahad dahil ayoko nang masira ang week ko.

During the past week, all I did was to procrastinate in writing. Kaya heto… Walang naging progress. But after trying my best to beat it,finally! I’m done writing the 2nd one-shot for ‘Just One’ series. I can’t believe I’m able to finish this kind of writing one shots. Never ko pa kasing nasubukang magsulat ng one shot na gamit ang 50 prompts and those prompts should be used in creating sentences that will form a story.

Wait… May sense ba 'tong naging explanation ko? Sana naman. But if not, pagpasensiyahan na lang po ako. Palibhasa, isa po ako sa mga hindi pa rin maka-get over at maka-move on sa episode ng Kalyeserye kanina.

Sana lang, magamit ko na itong inspirasyon sa pagpapatuloy ng isinusulat ko. In fairness lang, ang dami ko na palang naka-pending na isusulat. Sana naman, matanggal ko na ang habit kong nagpo-procrastinate kung kailan naman kailangang-kailangan ko nang magsipag sa pagsusulat.

DETECTIVE TENNIS/SEASONS OF CHANCES AND LOVE TIMELINES

Though I haven’t started writing Detective Tennis Part 3 with the working title “Dangers of the Forgotten Chronicles”, I can already envision Oshitari Yuushi and Hondou Kazumi’s interactions as cousins, especially upon finally discovering the girl’s other skill aside from piano and tennis.

By the way, for those who are curious, Hondou Kazumi first appeared in Seasons of Chances and Love 1: Classic Love In Spring. She will have an important participation in DT Part 3 due to her connection with the Miyuzaki twins Takumi and Tsukasa. The twins were Miyuzaki Kana’s elder siblings.

And since this has came up, I realized that I haven’t fully explained the timeline that each POT fanfic I wrote had. Of course, I’ll only explain the connected ones. The stories are all listed in order of their timeline/arcs.

Saturday Night Thoughts # 5

Nothing much.

That’s what I can say about what happened to me over the week. I know I haven’t posted something like this last week. I was actually preoccupied with something else. Same old problems. Nothing much has changed.

Seriously, why is it so hard for prideful people to forget and move on? Well, I asked this because of my father. I don’t want to rant about him as much as possible because it will definitely irritate me to the core. I’d rather deal with another issue instead of dealing with someone who can’t seem to move on and all closed ears when you reason to him.

Sakuno With The Princes

As I browsed my stories posted in FFN, I noticed that I wrote several fanfics with Sakuno as the female lead. Not that I don’t like RyoSaku ones. It’s just that I’m not accustomed to it. Personally, I like her getting paired to a tennis regular other than Ryoma.

So now that this came up, I created a list of Sakuno stories I’m going to write and will write in the future. Most of them will be one-shots, though. (NOTE: The numbers in parentheses represent the number of fics I’ve written and posted to FFN with that particular pair as lead characters)

1. Ryoma and Sakuno (2)
2. Yukimura and Sakuno (2)
3. Kirihara and Sakuno (1)
4. Kajimoto and Sakuno (1)
5. Sanada and Sakuno (2)
6. Atobe and Sakuno
7. Eiji and Sakuno
8. Tezuka and Sakuno
9. Niou and Sakuno (1)
10. Marui and Sakuno
11. Yanagi and Sakuno
12. Yagyuu and Sakuno
13. Jirou and Sakuno
14. Shirashi and Sakuno
15. Fuji and Sakuno
16. Kenya and Sakuno
17. Yuushi and Sakuno
18. Ootori and Sakuno

I stil have to think about the other pairing options, though. But for now, this is what I have in mind.

Just To Let You Know...

Okay. Just earlier, someone left a review on my fanfic story “Tennis Court Murders” about the series’ Part 3 and 4. Honestly, I want to reply to her inquiry. But seeing that she left the review as a guest, it won’t be possible. So I decided to just leave it here since this is my blog specially for my fanfiction stories posted on FFN.

I have stated in the epilogue’s author note that there will be a Part 3 and 4 for the Detective Tennis series I’ve been writing for years (literally and slowly, I might add). But to be honest, the only thing I have right now for the continuation of Tennis Court Murders are story plots/concepts. Which means I haven’t started writing the story just yet. Too many distractions and hindrances, that’s why.

But that doesn’t mean I’ll be abandoning the series. I just need time to finally begin writing the Part 3 which will have “Dangers of the Forgotten Chronicles” as a working title. There’s still a lot of planning to do if I want to make it happen, you know.

So until then, please. I want you to be patient in waiting for it to be posted. Trust me. I’m excited to write the next part of the crossover fanfic series since it involves Rikkaidai. Hehe!

The Sunday Currently # 3

It’s Sunday once again and it’s the beginning of another week for all of us. But for me, to be honest, it’ll be another “dragging” week of wishing and muttering and tiring moments to come to my life. I can’t do anything about it. It all felts like I’ve given up. I couldn’t do anything anything else other than to mumble about how my life should’ve been and how I want my life to become if I had actually done something to prove myself. But then it’s useless. Until I find a way to get out of this, I’ll just remain to be the useless girl my parents and even my sisters knew me.

Sad but true.

So this Sunday, I’m currently:

Love Letter From The Ancient Times

I don’t usually watch Korean drama. Okay, let me rephrase that. I don’t watch TV dramas on a regular basis. I’m more of an anime fan, though. And more often, I prefer dramas in anime than in live action dramas--if you know what I mean. Yes, anime lover lang naman po ako. Hindi nga lang halata. Pero kapag nagkainteres akong manood, minsan ay piling-pili pa ang mga pinapanood ko. Some of those Korean dramas I chose to watch was “The Moon That Embraces The Sun” and Sungkyunkwan Scandal”. See? Pareho pang historical fiction drama.

But that’s not the reason why I suddenly decided to open up watching Korean dramas. This post has something to do with the letter in the final episode of “Queen Inhyeon’s Man”. And do I have to say that I’m such a fan of sappy love letters? `Guess I didn’t mention that yet. But that’s okay. So before I decide to go on with my post, this is the letter I was talking about, though I’m posting it here in its English translation.

The Sunday Currently # 2

It’s the 8th of November and the second Sunday here at our newly-rented house. Wow! May isang linggo na rin pala. Nakakaloka lang. Nag-uumpisa na naman ang pag-iisip ko ng mga negative thoughts dahil sa mga nangyari this past week. But I’ll try to remove them from my mind as soon as possible. It’s not good for me to do that--at all! November na pala. Ilang araw na lang bago mag-Christmas. Kunsabagay, malamig na sa paligid, eh. At kapag nasa Baguio ka, normal na lang masakit sa balat na tirik ng araw during daytime habang makapamaluktot na lamig ng hangin at temperatura naman pagsapit ng gabi. Naku, dobleng kacket pa more ang katapat nito! Dagdagan mo pa ng makapal na pajama/pants at medyas.

It’s quiet around me as I write this kaya heto, tuloy-tuloy ang pagsusulputan ng kung anu-anong isipin sa utak ko. I can’t even do anything to stop it.

But let’s get on to the “real issue”, shall we?

So this Sunday, I’m currently:

Saturday Night Thoughts # 4

Wow! Seriously, I can’t believe I’d be able to keep up posts with this particular title for few consecutive Saturdays. Probably because it’s hard for me to maintain blogs like this. At least, that was the case before. Yup, I know. Weird. I usually lose interest over various things if it’s starting to get a bit complicated for me. But then I have to exclude writing on that since even though I got too many rejections and criticisms about it, it didn’t actually stop me from writing. Sure, I have my lazy moments. But that didn’t really forbid me to keep doing this.

Okay, enough with this drama. Back to the ‘real issue’. Chos! Just kidding.

A Letter To: My Disappointed Parents

I’m sorry. I know it’s short, but that’s all I can say for now. I know I’ve disappointed you for so long now. I’m sorry. To think I’m the eldest child who managed to graduate in college and yet here I am, still stuck with what I want to do rather than do what is necessary to help you. I’m crying as I write this, in case you don’t know. Maybe because I couldn’t force myself to do anything. Pessimism is one reason. Not having enough guts is the other.

Sometimes, I couldn’t help wishing that maybe I should disappear, right? Since I’m the eldest daughter who can’t even find the effort to help you in every way, I can’t help thinking that way. But I know from the start that it’s wrong. Disappearing would only make things worse than ever. I can understand where your disappointment to me is coming from. It’s because all your words to me are falling on deaf ears. I keep refusing to listen to your advices about finding a job since it’s about time I help you and at least ease your burden for at least a little. I’m an irresponsible daughter and I accept that. I know I’ve been for a long time since I graduated.

The Sunday Currently # 1

Reading other people’s blogs let you discover a lot of things. At least, I discovered a lot of things as I read Maine Mendoza’s blog. One of them was this—the Sunday Currently post in which the original link-up was created by siddathorton. And I think it’s fun to do the same thing. As of this post, Maine already posted 4 volumes of her Sunday Currently blog post. So I thought, why not join the fun? That means, starting today—this Sunday, I mean—I’ll be posting my own volumes of Sunday Currently in addition to my posts on Saturday Night Thoughts. This is just to sum up my week by far. So, here goes.

This Sunday, I’m currently:
