We'll Always Be Each Other's Baby - Chapter 7

"NOONG una, sa burol. Ngayon naman, sa manggahan? Dapat pala, naghanap na rin si Tita Margaret ng chaperone mo, 'no? At nang hindi ako nang ako ang kinakaladkad mo sa kung saan-saan," himutok ni Ayumi nang magtungo ito sa silid niya isang umaga at kinukulit siyang samahan daw niya ito sa pagpunta sa manggahan.

Pambihira! She was having her beauty sleep—na kailangang-kailangan pa man din niya matapos ang dalawang araw na kinulang siya niyon—nang bigla na lang maisipan ng bugok niyang kaibigan na bulabugin siya. Ano ba talaga ang kasalanan niya sa mundo at ganito ang sinasapit niya sa mga kamay ni Vincent Castagnia?

Okay, way too much drama! Weird lang. Pero masisisi ba niya ang sarili kung ganoon ang drama niya? Kung bakit ba naman kasi nangyari pa ang halikang iyon... Hay, panira lang talaga ng precious concentration. Kaya heto, ang drama ng buhay niya—tingalain ang kisame hanggang sa dalawin na siya ng antok na kailangan niya para makatulog at hopefully ay mairaos ang kanyang isipan mula sa pagkakalubog sa alaala ng araw na iyon.

And to think nangyari iyon three days ago... Ibig sabihin, ganoon na rin katagal na ipinagkakait sa kanya ang tulog na kailangan niya. Kaya naman wala nang tanong-tanong kung bakit moody siya nang umagang iyon. Idagdag pa na umakto si Vince pagkatapos niyon na para bang wala lang dito ang ginawa nitong iyon.

At Least We Have Forever 41 - His Song, Her Song

CHAPTER 41 - His Song, Her Song

The day of the performance for their music assignment had arrived. Almost everyone was excited and at the same time, nervous because of it. Despite all that, all of them anticipated each other's performances. Two classes would be using the auditorium at the same time. As for Class 2-C, they would be with Class 2-D. That was why the two classes were happy. It didn't come as a surprise to their music teacher since she knew that the two classes were in some sort of collaboration for some time now. Somehow, they made quite a team-a large team, for that matter.

When their hour came, the two classes headed to the auditorium in an organized manner. They went there in two straight lines. Upon reaching the place, they saw that several musical instruments were on the stage. There were also CD players and cassette players, even the complete sounds system-all of which were going to be used by the students for their performances.

And so the scary part began… or a least that was what everyone was thinking as soon as they sat on the chairs of the hall.

They saw the teacher get onto the stage and took the mic from its stand.

【poem】For Now

I can't write again.

I can't find inspiration.

In short, I've been procrastinating again.

Should I just hit my head somewhere?

Maybe it'll help me despite the pain it'll bring.

But that thought only made me laugh

as I listen to two songs playing on repeat.

I can only do this for now

since I can't concentrate.

I can only let my mind do the work

as I imagine a love story

that perhaps I won't be able to write.

I can't tell for now

but I hope one day I'd be able to.

I want the world to know about it.

I want the world to read it.

If it would lead me to you,

my destined someone,

then it would definitely be

a wonderful dream come true.

But perhaps it won't happen

anytime soon.

Journal entry — July 3, 2006

It was really a happy day for me today. Kasi hindi ko akalain na magiging close kami kaagad ni JA. Kahit papaano eh nagiging close din ako sa kanya. Madalas nagpapatawa tulad ni AC but hindi siya tulad ni AC na mahilig mang-asar. Kanina nga sa MAPEH subject namin dahil practicum sa tala, gusto pa niya akong isali sa recitation/voluntary recitation. Kaya lang nahihiya ako. Siya rin ang ka-group ko sa A.P. at Filipino.

Ang saya, 'di ba? :⁠-⁠)

***

Now that I got to see this again, ang dami rin palang coincidences na nangyayari, 'no? And yes, ang babaw lang talaga ng kaligayahan ko noong mga panahong iyon. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat komg isipin dito.

The Sunday Currently # 7

Seven… I hope this will be something lucky, huh? Yes, this is my seventh Sunday Currently entry and it will be the last for this year. I rarely finish something like this before, so this is considered an achievement for me. I’ve never posted something sensible in my previous blogs that I ended up deleting before. It’s December 27 and only a few more days before the year 2015 finally ends. I’m not sure if this has been a good year for me. But I can’t say it’s a bad one, either.

Well, the only thing I wished for now would be good health and perhaps, a love life. If it’s God’s will, then I’d be really thankful for that. Of course, let’s not forget a stable job. That way, I’d be able to help my family.

I’d let that stay as a wish for now.

So this Sunday, I’m currently:

[#RomanceClass Podcast] Episode 3 (Blast From Two Pasts by Kristel S. Villar – Excerpt)

Yes! They’ve finally posted it. Thank you for that. So I guess this means the postings for the podcast would be every Saturday until they finally covered the entire season, right? At least I need to be aware of that. But you know what? This was one of the reasons that made me feel excited for Saturdays to come.

Even though the postings were just excerpts from the books, it actually made me anticipate the feels that it would give me as I listen to each podcast episode. I’m not sure how the authors would react to this post once they read it. If ever they’d read it, of course. But even though I couldn’t buy each book for the time being since I don’t have that much money to purchase at least one or two of them, at least I want to let them know that I truly enjoy listening to their novels’ reading. It doesn’t matter if it’s just an excerpt. They’re all beautiful, at least I can tell that.

Saturday Night Thoughts # 7

Finally! I’m able to write this one after skipping it for how many weeks already. Okay… it’s not that long, right? I only skipped writing this for a week or two. See, I wasn’t even sure.

As usual, my head hurts at the moment. But not because of stress or anything related to that. It’s about the weather. December always makes me feel like this. I can’t do anything about it. Unless I forced myself to change my habit, then I won’t be able to prevent myself from getting sick like this.

It’s December 26 today—err… I mean tonight. Six more days to go and it’ll be goodbye 2015. I’m not sure if it’s a good year for me or not. I want to recall the good things that had happened. But most of the time, the bad ones overshadowed them. And honestly, it’s making my head hurts even more. But I want to be thankful for keeping me alive and with my family all year. Even though our relationship to my father had gone worse than last year, I could say that at least I still got my mother and my three sisters.

No love life for me for the past year. There’s no surprise about that. I wasn’t wishing for it, though. But I can’t say if I’d be able to do it again next year. The year 2015 made me realize that, more often, I’ve been fickle-minded. I hate it, to be honest. And I guess that made my head hurts even more. So I guess, by next year, I’ll try my best to change that. Hopefully, I’d be able to.

Seriously, for someone who had skipped writing this post for about two weeks or so, this post indicating my return to writing a Saturday Night Thoughts entry was pretty short. This is getting crazy.

Some Christmas Morning Thoughts

Merry Christmas to all of you who will be able to read this post! Hehe! It’s almost 2 in the morning when I was typing this down. But even though I was supposed to sleep already, I ended up doing this. Probably because I can’t sleep. I was also supposed to write open letters I’m going to dedicate to Maine Mendoza, Alden Richards, and to the new Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach. But then I ended up doing this.

I’ve been having a lot of bad and negative thoughts lately. Over the months, it’s been like that. I can’t stop it. It affected me big time but I’m trying my best not to let it destroy me fully. I can’t function fully because of those negative vibes and thoughts hovering around me for so long. I rarely pray. I rarely go to the church for a mass. But that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about Him. It’s just that… I only talked to him when I was on the verge of crying. For a sensitive girl like me who gets easily affected, my tears fall almost in an instant when it truly hurts and stings me.

We'll Always Be Each Other's Baby - Chapter 6

ENJOY na enjoy si Ayumi sa sketches na ginagawa niya sa kanyang sketchpad. Iyon lang ang naisipan niyang gawin nang matapos mananghalian si Vince at as usual at masiguro niyang kumain nga ito nang maayos. Kahit madalas ay nagrereklamo ito sa "pagpapataba" na ginagawa raw niya rito sa pagbabantay niya sa pagkain nito, sa huli ay nauubos pa rin naman nito ang inihahain niyang pagkain dito.

Hindi lang ang pagkain nito ang binabantayan niya sa nakalipas na dalawang linggong pananatili niya sa mansion ng mga Castagnia. Pati na rin ang oras ng pagtulog nito ay kailangan din niyang bantayan. May mga pagkakataon kasi na wala nang itinutulog si Vince dahil sa pagiging subsob nito sa obrang inaasikaso nito. There was one time na muntikan na itong mag-collapse nang nais nitong ipagpatuloy ang ginagawang obra sa kabila ng kakulangan nito sa tulog. Muntik pa nilang pag-awayan iyon. Pero dahil umiral lang naman ang dakilang kakulitan niya, napapayag niya itong magpahinga nang maayos.

Wala na siyang pakialam kesehodang abutin siya nang magdamag sa pagbabantay sa binata. Eh sa nag-aalala siya rito. Mapipigilan ba niya iyon? At least she could prove to him that she cared for his welfare. Bahala na ang bugok kung paano nito titingnan iyon.

Malapad na napangiti si Ayumi nang sa wakas ay matapos na niya ang final touches ng sketch na ginagawa niya. Actually, she was making a portrait of a couple dancing. Subalit unti-unting naglaho ang ngiting iyon nang may maalala siya. She was making the same portrait when Vince suddenly announced that he would leave Altiera before their graduation. Wala pang isang linggo pagkatapos niyon ay umalis na ito na hindi man lang nagpapaalam sa kanya. But she remembered asking one of the maids to give her sketch full of her drawings to Vince after learning that. Hindi nga lang siya sigurado kung natanggap nito iyon kahit na nasa malayo na ito.

At Least We Have Forever 40 - Keeping Hope

For Kurama to get up early on a weekend wasn't something unusual to those who knew him. But for that particular day, it was different. He heaved a sigh upon recalling the dream he had which caused him to worry. He couldn't tell if it was a sort of premonition or something else. But it still had something to do with Riya.

Or to be clear, her mission as the deity's reincarnation.

"Shuichi, I know you're awake. Breakfast is ready. You better eat so you won't be late preparing for your date."

He couldn't help but to smile at Shiori's words. "I'll be right down, Mother." As soon as he said that, he got up from his bed and did his morning routine.

I'll Hold On To You 6 - Irritating Jerk

 [Relaina]

KAHIT SIGURO pagkasama-sama na ng tingin ng mga babae sa akin ay para bang wala lang iyon sa akin. Kunsabagay, sanayan na lang iyon. At isa pa, hindi ko na ipinagtataka iyon. Ako ba naman kasi ang tanging babaeng gumulpi at muntikan nang sumira sa mukha ng naturingang “most handsome campus heartthrob” ng Oceanside.

I would have done a victory dance for that achievement. Pero hindi pa ako tuluyang nasisiraan ng bait para gumawa ng ganoon. Composure first before anything else. Who cares kung ako nga ang gumawa n'on? May kasalanan siya sa akin kaya gumanti lang ako as long as I know na iyon ang nararapat gawin. Lalo na sa hambog na katulad ng sira-ulong kamoteng iyon.

Para kasi sa karamihan ng mga babaeng nagkakagusto sa ugok na iyon, napaka-big deal ng ginawa kong iyon sa prince charming ng mga ito.

But for me, ang nasa isip ko na lang ay “to hell with them!”  Wala na akong pakialam kahit na si Brent pa ang pinakaguwapong nilalang sa paningin ng lahat. It was that jerk’s fault, anyway. Mag-take advantage ba naman kasi. Palibhasa, lumaki na yata masyado ang ulo at ego sa atensyong nakukuha nito kaya sa tingin ng lalaking iyon ay kaya nitong paikutin sa palad nito ang lahat ng mga babaeng makakasalamuha at hahanga sa pagmumukha’t charisma nito.

Journal entry — June 7, 2006

I was elected as Assistant Treasurer of our class for the 1st Grading and JA was elected as one of the Business Managers of our class.

Nice, 'di ba?

***

I think this was one of the few instances na nna-elect ako as an officer of the class I was in. Hindi naman kasi ako masyadong nag-i-stand out, eh. Or rather, I'm choosing not to.

The Sunday Currently # 6

Since I haven’t written any Saturday Night Thoughts (again), and I haven’t written a Sunday Currently post last week, I thought it’s about time I get back on tracks. Sheesh! It’s been a weird week for me. At least that’s what I think. And from what I’ve noticed, productivity left me. Seriously. I haven’t even proceeded with my writings even though I knew and I kept on saying to myself that I need to finish it before Christmas. I have to pass my manuscript, that’s why. It’s been a long time since I last passed any manuscript and I don’t want to wallow on misery just because of a returned manuscript. I don’t want that kind of spirit to disturb me now that Christmas is coming near.

My gosh! I can’t believe it’s only 5 days left before Christmas. But for me, I can’t really feel the hype. And I don’t have to explain why. Various reasons, but I don’t want to elaborate it since I don’t want to ruin everything. I don’t want my Christmas spirit be damped with more negative vibes than what had already hovered around for more than a year in our family. I’m not sure how I want things about me to change after this year. But I do hope that the coming 2016 will be something good for me.

Or at least, I’ll try to let it be good to me. But I’ll think about that later.

So this Sunday, I’m currently:

[#RomanceClass Podcast] Episode 2 (Never Just Friends/Fallen Again by Mina V. Esguerra – Excerpt)

And so I’m done with writing down my thoughts about the first episode of the Romance Class Podcast. I’m not sure if what I wrote makes any sense, though. I’ve always been like that. No matter how I try to let my thoughts remain coherent, there had been times when I tend to ramble some unrelated topics.

See? I’m doing it again. So now let’s get back to the topic before something else lure me away from it again.

This time, the podcast was a reading of an excerpt from Mina V. Esguerra’s book “Never Just Friends”. It was told in 3^rd person POV. This reading was on Jake’s as he narrated his encounter with Lindsay again and signed a sort of contract that would let him stay with her for three uninterrupted weeks, as he stated it. Probably to make it up to her for the lost times? I don’t know. Who knows?

It really makes me want to buy the book but I guess I’d do it next time. But the real thought that hit me after listening to this was: Would I be able to find a guy like Jake who would joke on all sort of miracles just to be with me? Without interruptions, of course. Weird question, I know.

Anyway, I think I’d be able to find the answer to that in the future. Perhaps not even too soon.

In any case, here’s the video of the podcast’s second episode. Happy romantic listening!

【poem】All I Did

All I did was to tear papers

instead of writing what I need to.

It seems productivity left me

and inspiration did the same.

So I ended up doing another thing.

All I did was to continue dreaming

of how will my love story happen one day.

I’ve never felt so unloved in my life

and I’m feeling hopeless

that I would even find the one

meant for me to love all my life.

All I did was to sleep

when my eyes felt so tired.

But scenes I think of

made me tear up.

I couldn’t keep them at bay

as I thought of reasons why

even in my imagination,

I still end up losing you.

This was all I did for the past week.

This was all I did as I think of you.

This was all I did and yet here I am,

still thinking if I could do so much more.

But before all that,

will I ever have a chance

to find you for once in my life?

[AlDub / Kalyeserye] Episode 132 (5th Monthsary) – December 16, 2015

Kung tama ang pagkakatanda ko, this is the first time na nag-celebrate ng monthsary sina Alden at Maine na magkasama. At sa Broadway Studio pa talaga kasama ang mga lola na nag-e-enjoy naman sa treat ni Alden para sa mga ito. I like the fact na talagang ipinaalala ni Alden kay Maine `yong day na nag-audition ito sa Eat Bulaga. Totoo nga naman ang sinabi niya. Hindi mangyayari ang lahat ng ito kung hindi nagpunta doon si Maine para mag-audition.

Hindi man nagsasalita si Maine at pinapakinggan lang ang sinasabi ni Alden, I have to admit na napaluha din ako habang tinitingnan ko ang expression ni Maine. Parang hindi pa rin talaga nagsi-sink in sa kanya ang lahat. Na for the past five months since that fated July 16, hindi niya inakalang mababago nang husto ang buhay niya. Nagustuhan ko rin `yong message nila para sa isa’t-isa (na nagpaiyak na naman kay Alden) at saka `yong naging sagot nila sa tanong ni Allan K tungkol sa kung ano ba ang naramdaman nina Alden at Maine the first time they saw each other on split screen.

Actually, kung pakaiisipin nga naman, hindi natin alam ang tungkol sa naramdaman nila on that first day until… this day. So I guess it was a good thing na itinanong na rin ito ni Allan sa kanila. At least now, we knew what they felt about all that had transpired that day. At gaya nga ng tweet ni Sir Joey de Leon, this was one of the best KS episode so far. And I have to agree to that.

[AlDub/Kalyeserye] Episode 131 (Tatay Dodong) – December 15, 2015

This is the second day na silang dalawa lang ang nasa barangay. And if I’m not mistaken, the first time na wala ang tatlong lola sa location ng Sugod Bahay. Napansin ko lang na parang sinasanay na sina Maine at Alden sa hosting. Tinitingnan siguro kung paano nila iha-handle ang Sugod Bahay na silang dalawa lang. Hindi naman kasi puwede na si Maine lang ang gumawa n’on at baka mahirapan naman ito. Come to think of it, was there even a time na iisa lang ang nag-Sugod Bahay sa JoWaPao? Basta, iyon na iyon. Baka in time na lang masasagot ang tanong kong iyon. Ito kasi ang napapala ng matagal na hindi panonood ng TV, eh. Kung hindi pa nauso ang KS, hindi pa ako babalik sa panonood ng TV.

Nagustuhan ko rin iyong pagdating ni Cindy to clarify things with Alden and Maine. At least, all’s well that ends well na ang peg nilang tatlo after Cindy’s appearance. Kahit na sa totoo lang ay hindi matagalan ng tainga ko ang pagsasalita niya, lalo na kapag nagta-Tagalog siya. No offense meant. Natawa na lang ako sa paraan ng pagtatanong ni Alden kay Maine tungkol sa sulat na natanggap nito, na itinanong niya kung manliligaw daw ba iyon ni Maine. Grabe lang kung bakuran si Yaya, eh, `no? Wagas din kung makapag-inquire. Parang naagawan lang ang peg ng lalaking `to.

As for this episode, binuksan na rin ang topic tungkol sa tatay ni Yaya Dub na si Dodong. At gusto daw nitong makita si Yaya. Noon kasi, binanggit ni Lola Nidora na hindi nalaman ni Dodong na si Yaya Dub ang anak nito kasi ipinalabas niya na yaya si Divina at hindi ito ang anak ni Dodong kay Ursula. So here’s my question now. Paano nalaman ni Dodong na anak niya si Yaya?

Journal entry — June 5, 2006

It was the first day of school. At pagkapasok ko sa classroom, there was a guy who caught my attention. Maputi siya at palangiti. It was our Values subject nang malaman ko ang name niya. But I will give him the initials JA para hindi niya malaman kung sino siya.

***

I really don't know what to comment about this even just for context. Then again, ako na ang nagsasabi sa inyo. Hindi naging effective ang paggamit ko ng initials para itago ang identity niya at ang katotohanang crush ko siya at that time.

[#RomanceClass Podcast] Episode 1 (Fall Like Rain by Ana Tejano – Excerpt)

This was the first time I’ve listened to a podcast. It’s the truth. Though I’ve been aware of it for a long time, I’ve never actually tried listening to any of it until now. I’ve learned about the Romance Class podcast through Twitter, though I wasn’t sure which author’s account.

I’m familiar about the books that had been products of Mina V. Esguerra’s Romance Class. But I don’t have money to purchase those books, be it in digital or in print. And then this podcast came out.

The Only One Who Can Remember

The Only One Who Can Remember

Author's Note: This is actually written in Kurama's POV with regards to his full thoughts upon learning that Riya sacrificed her feelings for him so that he will be revived. I guess you can still understand this one-shot even if you haven't read "At Least We Have Forever". But this one-shot actually took place probably between Chapter 34 and Chapter 35 of ALWHF. It's a little sad and perhaps a bit angsty, but hey! The story requires it so I guess I don't have much of a choice. Enjoy reading, anyway! Reviews are very much appreciated. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own YYH and its characters. Only the OC and this plot. Oh yeah! Even the song by Juris entitled "Never Let You Go" (an English version of "Can't Let You Go Even If I Die" by 2AM).

Summary: He lost her in that battle and his heart that loves her too much was taken from him along with her memories. Now he must face a new life alone, in which only he could hold on to the promise of a love that he deemed eternal even if it will bring him unimaginable pain. Kurama/OC *Oneshot/songfic accompaniment of ALWHF*

-x-x-

I lost her. I can't believe it. I can't believe I lost it in the end. Even my determination to protect her which ended up risking my life just to do that didn't do anything for me to let her stay by my side. It was my fault.

We'll Always Be Each Other's Baby - Chapter 5

"UY! GALIT ka pa rin ba sa akin?"

Pero tila ba kahit naglalambing at sinusuyo na siya ni Vince, nagmatigas pa rin si Ayumi na hindi ito pansinin. Iyon ay kahit aminin niyang naku-cute-an na talaga siya sa ginagawa nitong iyon.

Matapos siyang kausapin ng lola niya—and napilitang mapapayag na rin na pagbigyan ang hiling ng baby damulag niyang ka-batchmate—ay hindi na niya pinansin ang binata. May tatlong oras na rin siguro niyang ginagawa iyon. Ganoon katagal na rin siyang hindi tinitigilan sa pangungulit nito sa kanya.

Naroon siya sa porch kung saan siya kinausap ng lola niya at nakatingin lang sa swimming pool. Alas-siyete na iyon ng gabi kaya maliwanag ang paligid sanhi ng nagkalat na mga ilaw sa paligid ng mansyon. Pinagmasdan niya ang pagkislap ng tubig sa pool. Kahit papaano ay nakatulong ang ginagawa niyang iyon sa kunwari'y pag-iinarte niya kay Vince.

At Least We Have Forever 39 - Just The Two Of Us

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho and its characters. I do own the plot, Riya and other OC's of this story, though. I only write for pleasure and fun—but a few reviews would surely pay off all my hard work on this one.

Warning: The characters might not be in their usual selves. In other words, possible OOC.

-x-x-

AT LEAST WE HAVE FOREVER—Chapter 39: Just The Two Of Us

The next day, Hanasakura Academy…

Music class was their last period for that morning, just before lunch break. All of the students of Class 2-C were having that class and now, they were listening to their music teacher as she talked in front.

"Alright, class. For your assignment, I want you to find your pair for your performances next week."

Most of the class frowned at that. "Performances?"

I'll Hold On To You 5 - All About The Eyes

[Brent]
HINDI NA ako nagtaka pa nang mapuna kong pinagtitinginan na naman ako ng mga nadadaanan kong mga kaklase ko. May mga ilan din akong schoolmates na ganoon din ang gawain kapag nakakasalubong ko sila. Okay lang sana sa akin iyon on a normal basis.
Pero magmula nang dumating ang amasonang Relaina na iyon sa buhay ko, iba na yata ang magiging normal basis pagdating sa akin.
Mukhang naging malaking isyu sa mga ito ang nangyari isang linggo na ang nakalilipas sa classroom. Anyway, talaga namang issue iyon dahil iyon ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na may babaeng hindi man lang tinablan ng charm ng isang Brent Allen Montreal. Grabe! Napakalaking bangungot iyon, ah! And to think I was a part of the Rialande clan, for heaven’s sake! Wala pang sinumang babae ang tumatanggi sa charm ko, o kahit na sinuman sa mga Rialande bachelors.
Talagang nasira ang record ko sa babaeng iyon.

VESPIRIA: A MAGICAL DIMENSION OF 3 WORLDS AND 7 LANDS

I know. Masyadong mahaba ang title ng post na ito. Pero wala na akong ibang maisip na mas magandang title, eh. And I guess it just fits. Anyway, this was originally conceptualized way back 2004 or 2005 pa po back when I was still in second year high school. Ganoon na po katagal ang kuwentong ito sa akin na dati ay narration lang ang nagawa ko. Hindi ko pa natapos although naiisip ko na po ang magiging ending. Hehe! The basic idea of the story remained even though I revised it before. This was inspired by my love for Encantadia. And I was ecstatic when they announced a remake of the said series. Paniguradong aabangan ko na naman ito. Matagal-tagal na rin akong hindi nakakapanood ng any TV series sa GMA, eh.

The word “Vespiria” was something I conjured by playing with the words “vessel” and “spirit”. Originally, Vespir lang dapat ang gagamitin kong word kaya lang, I decided to add “-ia” sa huli. This was the word na nabuo ko nang maisipan kong gawan ng Filipino version ang Super Sentai story na sinusulat ko. Until I decided not to pursue that dahil ayoko nang pahirapan ang sarili ko. In fairness lang, ang dami ko nang story plans. Noong una, Farhallia pa ang ginamit ko as the name of the magical dimension. At dahil magulo ang utak ko, heto at nabago na naman ang title ng kuwentong ito.

【poem】Someday

It’s 10 am and here I am.

I think of things that I want to do.

I have so many dreams

that I have with you.

Yet here I am, thinking

if it will ever come true.

I sit here in one corner,

pondering in the dark.

Will the time come

I’d be able to see you?

Will my dreams I have

about you become reality?

Will you pick me up and say

“here I am and I’ll hold you

in my arms forever”?

It’s really weird for me

to think like this.

To think of you

as if you truly exists in reality.

But there’s nothing wrong

with wishing, right?

There’s nothing wrong for me

to wish in silence

for a someday with you.

Underneath the sakura tree

that’s blooming so beautiful,

that’s where my dream usually takes me.

But please take me there someday

and make me realize that reality

is far better than a dream.

Someday, take me into your arms.

Someday, let fate allow me

to know you’re real.

One day, hold me close

and don’t let go.

The Sunday Currently # 5

How did November treats you, everyone? I hope you had a great one despite having a lot of what-nots and problems you encountered along the way. Well, my November didn’t treat me right, if you asked me. But then it’s okay. At least, it’s already December. Weird enough, I can’t feel the Yuletide season’s air. Which means, I can’t feel the Christmas vibes even though I kept on seeing Christmas trees and decorations from one house and establishments to another. Though I listen to some Christmas songs, it didn’t help me breathe the Christmas air into my system. Hopefully, this month will treat me right somehow.

And before I forgot, this will be my first Sunday Currently post for December. Unfortunately, this is one December when I don’t anticipate the coming of Christmas day since I don’t participate with the Christmas countdown. Lame life I have, I know.

`Can’t help it. Sorry for that.

So this Sunday, I’m currently:

“Someday We’ll Know” By Sharmaine Light

Okay, this is the second book comment I’m going to write for the same author. The first one I wrote was actually about her 1st published book under Lifebooks. This time, it’s about her first published book under Precious Hearts Romances. Hehe! Ewan ko lang kung may sense ba ang pinagsususulat ko rito.

We'll Always Be Each Other's Baby - Chapter 4

BAHAGYANG makulimlim ang kalangitan habang nasa biyahe si Ayumi gamit ang kotse ni Vince. Iyon ang napansin niya habang nakatingin lang sa labas ng bintana at pinapanood ang bawat madaraanan ng kotse ng binata.

In a way, pantanggal na rin niya iyon ng pagkailang na nararamdaman niya nang mga sandaling iyon. Hindi pa rin yata nakaka-recover ang utak niya sa pagkabigla, lalo pa nang nagprisinta talaga itong sunduin siya at sabay pa talaga silang pupunta sa Altiera. Pero hindi niya ide-deny na masaya siya at muli silang nagkita nito. Ang buong akala talaga niya ay ang reunion na ang huling beses na magkukrus ang mga landas nila.

"Parang ayaw mo yata akong kasabay, ah," pagbasag ni Vince sa katahimikang nakapalibot sa kanilang dalawa.

Nang harapin niya ito, hindi na niya napigilang mapahagikgik sa nakitang pagnguso nito. Seriously lang, hindi pa rin talaga nawawala ang cute habit nitong iyon. "Huwag ka ngang makanguso-nguso riyan. Ipitin ko iyan mamaya, 'kita mo."

Warning: The characters might not be in their usual selves. In other words, possible OOC.
