the last sky of the earth 28 - knight's scene: unexpected visitor

ABALA si Yasha sa binabasang articles at ilan pang librong nakalatag sa study table niya. As usual, hindi siya nagpapaistorbo kagaya na rin ng bilin niya sa Lolo't Lola niya. Kailangan niya ng katahimikan lalo na sa mga sandaling iyon dahil na rin sa dami ng tumatakbong isipin sa utak niya.

And as usual (again), may kinalaman na naman ang mga iyon sa misyon ni Yasha na kahit ang kapatid niya ay hindi pa nalalaman iyon. She couldn't afford to let him get involved with what she was doing. Masyado nang magulo ang buhay niya para madamay pa ang nag-iisang kapatid niya. Even though she knew her brother was capable of dealing with the enemies using his sword skills he acquired since he was four, duda pa rin siya kung talagang kaya ni Raiden na kalabanin ang mga taong posible niyang makabangga dahil sa misyon niya.

"Ate, busy ka ba?"

Napaangat ng tingin si Yasha mula sa binabasa niya. Hindi niya maitago ang kanyang pagtataka. Her grandparents should've told Raiden that she didn't want to be disturbed. Pero si Raiden naman iyon, eh. If anything else, naglalaan naman talaga siya ng oras para sa taong ito. Kapatid niya ito.

the last sky of the earth 27 - first meeting

THINGS were getting a lot confusing. At least, iyon ang naiisip ni Seiichi. Sa dinami-rami ba naman kasi ng mga nangyari sa maghapong iyon, hindi siya sigurado kung alin sa mga iyon ang totoo o likha lamang ng kanyang isipan. But at the same time, he thought that he'd rather think of everything that had happened as a figment of his imagination.

Pero sa totoo lang, masakit pa ring isipin iyon. Damn it! Seiichi was already looking for a certain proof since that attack two years ago. Wala siya sa pinangyarihan ng mga pagpatay na iyon. But just hearing some testimonies and stories with regards to it made him know the pain that the survivors had surely felt. At ang hindi nalalaman ng karamihan, the pain he felt despite not being in the scene of events was something that he had somehow hid from the rest of the world.

That pain had something to do with losing not just his best friend who treated him with no prejudice with regards to his race, but also the sweet young girl who could play a beautiful but melancholic melody using her flute. At ang babaeng iyon ay nagkataong talaga namang napakahalaga sa kanya.

Sa pagkakaalala na naman ni Seiichi sa babaeng nakita niyang kamukha ni Kourin Shinomiya sa park na iyon, hindi niya alam kung ano ang dapat niyang isipin. All this time, had he been right? Did the attack at the Shinomiya mansion still holds a mystery as to the fate of the Shinomiya princess? May ilan na ring nagsasabing baliw siya sa ginagawang pag-assume sa isang milagro. Pero sa simula pa lang na mabalitaan niya ang tungkol sa pag-atake, alam na niyang may mali sa mga pangyayari. And yet there was no denying that the event had truly brought him so much pain.

What Happened Today?

Good evening!

Well, this is new. Greeting everyone like this. I’m not sure if I could keep up with doing this, though. anyway, I’ll try to do so. But I surely can’t promise anything about this. It’s kind of tough doing it, to be honest. Especially now that things are a little unsure for me that I can’t think of anything worthy for quite a while now.

Wait! Did that even make any sense at all? I have a feeling that it didn’t. Sorry for that.

The Sunday Currently # 19

Seriously, I am not going to ask anymore about the last time I wrote a Sunday Currently entry. ‘Cause honestly, I grew tired of doing that for now. I’ve never actually maintained a blog in my life and by now, I’m sure I’ve already lost what few “readers” I have—if I ever had any. But if there still are readers of this blog, thank you.

From my last post, I said that I would probably talk about the photo edits, the certain retired actor that’s really making me think (until now), or even the currently airing Super Sentai series that I’ve been watching. But now that I’m writing this, I don’t think I could talk any of it. Well, what can I say? This entry is like a summary of what I’ve been doing for the past week. Or maybe not.

Even so, I’d still like to post this since I can’t concentrate on what I was supposed to do tonight. So let’s get on with it, shall we?

Still Stumped...

Hi! How are you, everyone? Still living a good life, I hope.

I’m not sure if I have readers here but I still want to do this. I just want to write down my thoughts since honestly speaking, I’ve never done that in a long while. I don’t know but it seems that these past months, I’ve been having a hard time incorporating my thoughts to my writings and now, I’m stumped. If you know what I mean.

Just like now. A while back, I was contemplating on writing a blog entry in English or Filipino. See? I couldn’t also decide on what language medium to use for writing. Same goes to me writing my manuscripts. Due to some issues that I won’t be able to discuss properly here, I’ve been in hiatus in writing Filipino romance. And it’s a long while, as well. I guess I’m losing my touch in writing something that I really want to believe, but some things (or should I say circumstances) were trying to destroy it for me.

"DEAD END... again." Napakamot ng ulo si Seiichi nang maupo siya sa isang bench na napansin niya ilang hakbang lang mula sa kinatatayuan niya. Seryoso lang, ha? Bakit ba laging palpak ang kinahihinatnan ng paghahanap niya?

But as if Seiichi could actually do something about it. Para nga sa iilan na nakakaalam ng totoong plano niya, it was called absurdity. Siguro nga. But he couldn't really ignore the nagging feeling that something about... everything was totally wrong. Hindi niya alam kung bakit pero ang mas nakapagtataka, handa siyang ibuhos ang lahat para sa pakiramdam na iyon.

It was as if he was asking for the greatest miracle, and Seiichi grudgingly admitted that.

Perhaps.

the last sky of the earth 25 - attack

ALL KOURIN could do at the moment was to heave a heavy sigh as she looked below. She was standing on near the edge of the rooftop kung saan kitang-kita niya ang mga nangyayari sa campus grounds. First day of school nang araw na iyon at kahit alam ng mga tagapagbantay niya na talagang mapanganib pa rin sa kanya ang lumabas, walang choice ang mga ito.

Kourin's guardians only agreed to let her out of the mansion and go to school on one condition ― kailangang may magbantay sa kanya even from a distance. At that point, alam na niyang may nagbabantay at nagmamasid sa kanya kahit naroon na siya sa rooftop. One thing she knew, it wasn't Amiko. Not even Nanami. She could've go on guessing kung sino ang nagbabantay sa kanya. But only three people entered her mind.

And Kourin could tell that those three weren't even a part of the 12 Knights, but talented warriors, just the same.

At the very least, makakahinga na si Kourin nang maluwag kahit papaano. Even though she knew she couldn't let her guard down ― not even for a minute!
