Oh, right. It’s Saturday today. And here I am, completely forgetting about it. I know I haven’t written any Saturday Night Thoughts entry for two consecutive Saturdays already after the one I posted on the first Saturday of the year. And now I just noticed that I wrote the word “Saturday” three times in one sentence. But that’s beside the point. I couldn’t recall why I haven’t written anything for this post category for two Saturdays now. It’s not because I don’t have much to say. To be honest, I have a lot to say. It’s just that I think I couldn’t put everything in words and I decided that those thoughts shouldn’t leave my mind.
So the result of that, I ended up forgetting them. Hehe! It’s not like I meant to forget them. I think I just buried those thoughts at the back of my mind when I decided to focus on my manuscript that, until now, I still haven’t finished. Urgh! Procrastination—definitely a bad habit. I hate it.
It’s a good thing that the desktop I used was fixed after it crashed. I don’t know what I’ll do if it took longer before I managed to find a way to fix it. And to think I had a lot of writing plans set for this year—especially this coming February.
And just like what happened to my Saturday Night Thoughts post, I ended up skipping two Sundays on this one. Sorry for that. I’ve been busy doing my writings, to be honest. And then the desktop I’ve been using crashed, which truly irked me. Thank goodness, I managed to find a way to fix it. So today is the last day of January. How time flies fast, huh? I can’t believe it’s already a month since the start of 2016.
I haven’t seen much progress over my life since I’ve decided to remain a hermit as I tried to finish my pending manuscripts that I’ll be passing to a publishing house and updates for my Wattpad stories. And seriously speaking, it doesn’t really have a good effect on me, especially if the weather here is totally enough to give me a headache, literally. The weather’s cold here in Baguio, by the way. It’s already a usual scenario, and the usual coldest months here starts in January and ends in February. Just this month, the lowest temperature recorded here was 6.3 degrees Celsius. Trust me, that’s enough to give me a headache in more than one occasion.
And when I take a bath, it’s like I’m taking an ice bucket challenge because of the cold water. Brrr!! But then, that’s just me complaining about the cold weather even though I was born and raised here. So you might not as well pay attention to that.
So this Sunday, I’m currently:
READING
A Filipino Wattpad story “Seventh Sense” by purpleyhan, which is the prequel of “Tantei High”. Somehow, I got intrigued about the tweets I read about Seventh Sense so I ended up reading it, only to be reminded that I should read Tantei High first for me to understand the story. And so I did. I’m really happy that the anime “Detective Conan” really inspired the author to write this story.
WRITING
Chapter 6 of one of my pending manuscripts “Yuna’s Tulip: Believe In Me” which I’ll be passing to a publishing house once I’m done writing and proofreading it. Of course, that’s beside writing this 9th Sunday Currently post.
LISTENING
A Korean song titled “Only With My Heart” by Lena Park. Recently, I’ve been listening to sad ballads in Korean and Japanese, which I considered really weird of me somehow.
THINKING
Of how I’d be able to finish writing the stories I’ve posted on Wattpad and of course, that includes my planned stories to be passed to a publishing house. Urgh! The struggles of a writer.
SMELLING
My right hand every time I stopped typing for a few moments. It actually still has leftover calamansi scent on it, that’s why. I don’t know why I love citrusy scents on my hands.
WISHING
For my manuscript “Guia’s Lotus: Be With Me” which is still under evaluation to be approved.
HOPING
That my wish would come true about my currently evaluated manuscript. That’ll give me a head start on my writing goals this year.
WEARING
A blue sweater and gray pants. I hate it when the weather gets cold like this.
LOVING
The fact that I’m inspired to write two of the romance stories under “The Last Sky Of The Earth” side stories. But I’ll only be able to do that once I’m done writing TLSOTE trilogy.
WANTING
To buy more pocketbooks to be read in the future, especially those stories from the authors I admire.
NEEDING
Pocket money for me to buy the pocketbooks that I want to buy. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if it’ll come true soon.
FEELING
Sleepy, but my mind’s still hyped up to continue finishing my manuscript’s Chapter 6. At least, I need to finish that chapter tonight. I’ll try.
CLICKING
On my Twitter accounts and reading a few random tweets from those I followed. Mostly from the indie Filipino romance authors.
What's with the title? That's the time I'm typing this down. I don't know. I just want to put some random thoughts here since I haven't done that in quite a long time. Sorry. I've been busy figuring out how to finally get myself together to write and write in order for me to achieve my writing goals this year.
But for now, I'd just finish readingpurpleyhan'sTantei Highsince I was intrigued by the tweets I kept on reading on its prequelSeventh Sense. Along with that, I really need to finish reading Venice Jacobs' The Breakers Corazon Sociedad series which have been stuck with me for almost a year and I only read two out of the series' ten books.
Great! Talk about being completely unproductive. Urgh!
So this episode of the podcast was a little different. Not to mention that it took me more than a week to write something about this particular episode. But since it’s a special episode and still a part of the Romance Class podcast, I might as well write my thoughts about this. Just to be fair. Hehe!
One thing I noticed, though, was Ana’s voice. I don’t know if she was a little sick during the interview or something else. But I noticed that her voice was somewhat cracked, similar to a person who’s having a slight throat problem. Of course, maybe that’s just me. And yet I focused more on listening to her answering the questions thrown at her. The one I liked the most was when she answered the question about Rachel and Gio’s delivery of the excerpt. I mean, I really thought of the same way. I also like the two actors’ delivery of the lines and narrations. Seriously, I agree with her when she said that it’s really a different feeling when these two read the excerpt of the book. Their narration made the story even more beautiful when you imagine it and I could really see the scenes came alive—at least in my mind. It’s clearer than just how I read a book.
So this will be my first Sunday Currently entry for the year 2016. Happy New Year, everyone! It’s already been three days that passed since the last day of 2015. I’m not really sure how I greeted the New Year, though. But I’d like to say I was quite neutral about it. I want to allow the good vibes to enter. Yet somehow, I guess some bad vibes could really find a way to penetrate you.
It’s Saturday and this will be my first Saturday Night Thoughts entry for 2016. I can’t believe it’s already two days since the last day of 2015. It’s nearly 10 pm and here I am writing this while researching for Asian shows and movies to download from my mobile phone. Well, this is better than to dwell with another job hunt issue thrown at me. It actually started when I refused to meet up with my father who haven’t actually gone home since last December. It’s not like I’ll gain something from it.
I hate it when they’re forcing me to do something I don’t really want to. I know people will hate me for that, especially if it actually concerns more on my decision not to find a job anytime soon. Of course, my mom kept on nagging me about it which I understood somehow. I mean, we’re the only ones who needed to support each other. My father won’t be helping us anymore with paying the house rent since it was all part of their agreement two months ago. But I can’t really force myself or I might end up getting fired from whatever job I’d find again.
They’d thrown me away and I could understand that. I wasn’t dedicated in fulfilling my duties, anyway. I still played around like a high schooler. You know, come to think of it, that thought only made my neck hurts. But seriously speaking, I want to ask this question.
Am I actually regressing? I don’t know. It’s like I can’t face the world seriously and I tend to daydream a lot. It’s like I’m doing the things that was somehow robbed from me during my childhood. I can’t recall myself having fun when I was a child. All I can remember was me crying in one corner because of some relatives hitting me and scolding me. I could still recall my father hitting my butt with a stick when I was young. I don’t know why the sad memories were more prominent in my mind than the good ones, though. And I’m starting to hate it. Can’t I just recall smething good for most of the time?
I don’t really want to welcome bad vibes on this second day of 2016. But with what happened today, I really can’t help it.
