My Entry To Matt Hunt's #RumorMe2018

This is actually about a game on Twitter that I only saw today (talk about being late about this kind of Toku-related gimmick, albeit done by fans). And since I've been writing my own Sentai series since the start of 2018, even though I planned the story at around 2017, I decided to join the game.

ーーーーーー

Utsuwa Sentai Seitenger (器戦隊サイテナイー; Vessel Squadron Sacred Heaven Ranger)

Story: For 5,000 years, the Priestess of Life, along with five chosen warriors armed with the powers of the Heavenly Spirit Guardians had been defending the Realm of the Hundred Heavens from the Tareans. After getting banished into the Tareus Dimension with no chance to escape because of the Five Tarean Seals placed in five different worlds within the realm, the chosen Vessels and the Priestess' succeeding power incarnations continued to protect everything. But an innocent child's prank caused one of the Tarean Seals placed on Earth to break. Now armed with even more power, the Tareans were determined to continue their longtime plan to take over the realm.

The only people powerful enough to stop them were the currently chosen Vessels of the Heavenly Spirit Guardians' Powers, the Seitengers. With their destiny already foretold since the ancient times, these chosen youths were given the task great enough to either break them or strengthen them at the end of it all. Now the fate of the Realm of the Hundred Heavens lies on their hands!

【Episode Comment】 Seishun Tantei Haruya Episode 1

Instead of continuing to watch KR Kuuga, I ended up watching a different Japanese series. Probably the effect of watching Tamamori Yuta in Ikemen Desu Ne. 😄😄 Should I be happy with that?

Anyway, this pic was from the first episode of Seishun Tantei Haruya. I do love watching crime/detective-themed shows, but most of those that I've watching are Japanese animes (Detective Conan, everyone?). I only watched a few shows that has this theme. One example is Signal (the original Korean version and also the Japanese version). Another is The Young Kindaichi's New Case Files.

In any case, I decided that I'll continue watching this series since I like how the first episode turned out, so let's see what will happen and what will occur in Haruya's next cases. 😄😄

【Episode Comment】 Kamen Rider Kuuga Episode 2 - Transformation

So two nights ago, I was able to continue watching Kuuga and I decided not to continue watching the next episode unless I put this comment I have for this episode first. Yup, I know. A little silly. But hey, I do want to be dedicated in putting up comments so... here I go. And yes, it'll be a short one again since I don't want to go into the little details. 😄😄

So at this point, Godai finally achieved a full transformation to Kuuga instead of just a white, almost hornless warrior. The photo above proved it. His dedication in protecting everyone and fighting to do so was questioned here, as it appeared that this could be one reason why he couldn't achieve a full transformation yet similar to the warrior in his vision. I don't know if I should be glad with that police (sorry, I forgot the name of that guy again) that he made Godai think about dedication or not. Anyway, at least Godai finally found his resolve to fight and that led him to access Kuuga's powers through the belt that went inside him.

【Episode Comment】 Kamen Rider Kuuga Episode 1 - Revival

So last night (or it's better to say past midnight), I ended up watching Kuuga's first episode for some reason. And I did it without forwarding the episodes. I always had that habit when I'm watching a certain series. Anyway, I like the start. And that fight scene between Kuuga and the Spider Gurongi on the helicopter turned out to be longer than I thought. This pic was a part of the fight scene before the one on the helicopter. Godai's transformation as Kuuga isn't full yet in this episode and I'm kind of wondering about the visions he kept seeing with regards to Kuuga, though.

I'm only at the first episode so I can't comment much at the moment. One thing I need to do for nowーkeep watching the rest of the episodes and hopefully, give a comment on each episode once I'm done watching. Even if it's just a short one. 😄😄

Respect

This is seriously one powerful word, if you ask me.

But how far can this word go when the person you still respect do something that will make you doubt if it was still the right thing to do?

I'm a courteous person. I was raised that way even though honestly, at times, I could feel that that person wasn't someone deserving to have or receive such admiration. But I think I would be called a bad or even a terrible person if the person I was talking about in which I'm slowly losing respect to was my father.

Latest Post # 3

Yes, I know. I'm suppose to post about the second part of my previous blog entry but I decided against it. Especially when I just heard Chanyeol's version of the Japanese song "One More Time, One More Chance". And to think I just found out that he just covered it.

Believe me, I played it for countless times today for some reason. And tonight, I think I was able to figure out that reason.

My Nonsense Rants 😥

Okay. I know I haven't been posting anything here in a long while before those Latest Posts. Believe me, I've been wanting to post a lot of things. But blame my katamaran (laziness) for that. That's the only plausible excuse I could come up with. Not to mention emotional issues actually didn't want me to post anything here without being labeled maarte or anything like that.

Yes, I'm posting those terms in Filipino only because I'm still feeling lazy to even do anything. Not to mention, I really felt it that way.

Latest Post # 2

Okay. I really want to hit my head now. For real.

I suddenly had the urge to look up for articles available about the Korean dubbed version of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger titled Power Rangers Ninja Force. Well, the reason for me to do that was to check on certain changes they did to the characters' names and even their arsenals.

Unfortunately, I never found any reliable source. And that bummed me, for real.

What's Up?

I know. There haven't been much of an update on this blog over the past weeks. I'm too ashamed to even apologize. But I'm still going to apologize. This blog might not have that many readers, and to be honest, I have a lot of plans for this. Unfortunately, either laziness or being forgetful would be the major reasons I have.

It's Monday morning here in the Philippines as I type this entry down (Time check: 1:59 AM). I'm currently listening to a Chinese song and just joined another IG challenge. Well, the last one was done three days ago. Remember #daretoshareIGchallenge? It's that one.

Now I've joined the 2018 edition of that IG challenge that has the same hosts as last year. 

Oh, yeah. Here's another update about me. I created another Instagram account. This time, I turned it to an Instagram page. Feel free to visit it if you want to.

Just A Thought

Originally posted in my FB account:

Nakaka-miss din palang makipag-usap sa mga makukulit kong online friends dito sa FB. Ngayon ko lang na-realize. Hehe! Umabot talaga ako sa point na sinabi ko sa sarili kong puro ka-toxic-an na lang ang makikita ko sa FB kaya wala nang dahilan para bumisita pa ako rito. 'Tapos 'yong tungkol pa sa mga bagong patakaran sa publishing na hindi ko alam kung para saan. Siguro nga, wala akong kakayahan para makipagsabayan sa kanila, na sundin down to the letter ang mga requirements na alam kong mahihirapan akong kunin kahit sabihin pang para naman sa kagustuhan kong maging writer. But up to now, I'm truly writing on my own pace. Nakita ko na ng ilang beses ang resulta ng pagpipilit at pagmamadali kong may matapos na isulat. And trust me, mas naging mahirap sa akin na tanggapin ang resulta at ayoko na ng ganoon.

Ano'ng point ng post kong ito?

Hindi ko rin alam. 😂😂

Basta ang alam ko lang, na-miss kitang kadaldalan dito sa FB, Sharmaine Light. 'Tapos nakakausap ko na rin nang madalas si Joanna Cross at paminsan-minsan din si Geruzalyn Azel Langres kahit may palagay akong nangyayari lang iyon kasi ako ang nag-i-initiate ng conversation dahil itina-tag ko sila.

May mga dahilan pa para hindi ko talikuran ang FB at writing world. Ilan lang sila sa mga rason kong iyon.

P.S.: Hindi ako nagda-drama dito, ha? Feel ko lang mag-post ng mahabang FB status. 😂😂

= = = = = =

Teka. May nakalimutan pala akong idagdag dito. Kaya lang, nag-aalangan ako kasi kahit siya na 'yong nag-i-initiate ng conversation sa FB, minsan nagagawa ko talagang dedmahin. Sorry. Pero thank you pa rin Christian Celestial Presentacion kasi napagitiyagaan mo pa rin akong kausapin dito sa FB kahit madalas sa hindi, ganoon ang nangyayari. Thank you talaga.

20 Random Facts About Me

Originally posted in my FB account last October 22, 2014

Wala pong nag-tag sa akin pero feel ko lang po talagang makiuso dahil bigla akong nagkainteres maglagay ng ganito sa FB ko at pati na rin sa Tumblr account ko. Hehe! Although noon pa ito nauso. I think 2 months ago pa.

At dahil wala na akong mai-post na medyo matino, ito na lang muna.

1 – Certified Baguio girl ako. I was born and raised here at dito pa rin ako nakatira hanggang ngayon.

2 – Forever favorite ko na sina Edogawa Conan at Hattori Heiji. Hindi sila nawawala sa list ng favorite anime characters ko of all time. Silang dalawa ang number one doon, kumbaga.

3 – Mahilig akong mag-walkathon mula bahay papunta sa town proper ng Baguio na kadalasan ay inaabot ng 40-45 minutes. Iyon ay kahit na may available na jeep sa area namin, maliban na lang kapag umuulan. Kaya natatawag akong kabayo dahil doon, eh. Isa pa, masyado raw akong mabilis maglakad.

4 – NBSB? Certified iyan at the age of 23 (as of this post). Kaya nga siguro ibinubugaw na ako ng Mama ko’t mga kapatid ko na mag-boyfriend na raw ako. Wala nga lang yatang magkamaling ligawan ako o takot lang sila sa akin. Haha!

5 – Iyong kapeng tinitimpla ko ng umaga, umaabot pa hanggang hapunan bago ko tuluyang maubos.

6 – Hindi ako lumalabas ng bahay at aalis na hindi nakasuot ng anything na long-sleeved. Kahit summer, laging ganoon.

7 – Nagme-make up lang ako kapag may importanteng okasyon–meaning kapag graduation o ‘di kaya ay may acquaintance party at ball sa school.

8 – All-time crush ko sina Yuu Shirota at Yunho ng TVXQ. O, walang kokontra!

9 – Favorite pocketbook (unofficial) series ko ay ang Tennis Knights ni Marione Ashley. Wala pa rin ba si Enzo hanggang ngayon, Miss MA?

10 – I’m an anime fanfiction writer lalo na kapag tinotopak ang takbo ng utak ko. All time favorite anime na sinusulatan ko ng fanfic? P.O.T. Alam n’yo naman na siguro kung anong anime ‘yan, ‘di ba?

11 – Fan ako ng mga mahou shoujo-themed anime pero pili lang ang pinapanood ko sa mga iyon. Iilan lang kasi ang talagang nakakuha ng interes ko, eh.

12 – Nakalimang returned na ako ng MS from two different publishing houses. Pero hanggang ngayon, trying hard pa rin akong magsulat at magpasa n’on. Try and try until you succeed nga, ‘di ba?

(10/22/14 As of this date, may approved na rin akong MS, sa wakas!)

13 – Mas gusto kong nagpupunta ng simbahan kada Sabado. Mas tahimik ang pagdarasal ko kapag ganoon.

14 – Takot ako sa palaka. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero hindi naman iyon maiko-consider na phobia, right? Basta takot lang ako.

15 – I’m more into listening ballads kahit na anong language pa iyan. Six languages lang naman ng mga ballad songs ang pinapakinggan ko so far (Japanese, Korean, English, Taiwanese/Chinese, Thai, and Tagalog). Mas nakokondisyon ko ang utak ko kapag nakakarinig ako ng ballads and classics.

16 – I like watching Super Sentai Series (which was the Japanese version of Power Rangers). Pero nag-umpisa lang naman iyon nang bigla kong maisipang mag-research tungkol kay Hiroki Aiba. Dalawa pa lang na series ang nakokompleto kong panoorin.

17 – I like chicken macaroni salad. Kaya nga madalas na iyon ang nire-request ko sa Mama ko kapag may okasyon, lalo na sa birthday ko.

18 – Hindi nawawala sa playlist ko ang kantang “A Perfect Christmas” by Jose Mari Chan at “Christmas Eve” by Celine Dion kahit wala pang Christmas season. ‘Kakaloka lang.

19 – Hindi pa ako nakakasakay sa tren at eroplano, at all. As in never pa in my entire life. Barko… nasakyan ko naman na iyon nang minsang magbakasyon ako sa Antique at Mindoro.

20 – Hindi ako marunong lumangoy, whatever they do. Hanggang lubog at babad lang ang kaya kong gawin kapag nasa swimming pool ako o ‘di kaya’y nasa beach.

The Sunday Currently # 23

Yup. And I just realized as I typed this down that today is Sunday. Just great.

Anyway, no mentions of how long has it been since I wrote something like this because honestly speaking, I don't want to know at all. Any updates from me? You could say that there's a lot for me to mention. But I think I'll mention that some other time.

Right now, on to the real Sunday Currently content of this post, shall we?

This Sunday, I'm currently:

Mother's Day Thought

So tomorrow, it's going to be Mother's Day here. And perhaps, all over the world. I know. Most of us will definitely do something to make that day special to our beloved mothers. In my case, I could only offer words of love and comfort as things these past months didn't go so well for all of us. Most especially for her.

I don't know if they will be enough. But I could still hope it will help. No matter how hard it is for me right now, it will always be my mom whom I'm going to run to when things would get worse. But it didn't come to that point just yet.

...and I just started doing it...

Okay. You might be wondering what the heck am I talking about it. But hey, that's why I'm writing this now, right?

Right.

As I typed these words down, I'm watching reaction videos about Marcelito Pomoy's version of "The Prayer" featured live on Wish 107.5 Bus. Honestly, watching most of them were hilarious and enjoyable. And then there's the episodes of Hana Nochi Hare.

The Sunday Currently # 22

So for the past week, I haven't been able to properly write anything aside from Tweets and IG captions. That means I haven't been able to write one-shots for the #365OneshotStoryChallenge2018. Man, where have my inspiration and writing muse gone to? I was even enthusiastic while I was planning and had started writing these one-shots.

In any case, let's start with this entry once again for this week, shall we?

So this Sunday, I'm currently:

The Sunday Currently # 21

This is me again for another Sunday Currently blog post! Well, at least I'm trying to keep up from all of those Sundays that I never got to post something like this. There were a lot of that last year, you know.

In any case, let's start!

So this Sunday, I'm currently...

It's Been A While

So here we go again!

Yes, I know, it's been a while since I've done this. I'm not sure if what I putting here was worth talking about. But they are my thoughts at the moment. Right now, I just want to put them here, no matter how short they might be.

I couldn't put a Twitter thread of the Sunday Currently entry's Saturday version so let's do it this way. Anyway, at least for this Saturday.

The Sunday Currently #20

So while everyone (or not) are hyped up about the coronation night for #BbPilipinas2018, I decided to do this instead while still contemplating on how to finish the scheduled one-shot for today. So let's start, shall we?

So currently, I'm:

Another #WritingPlan: Writing An Otome Game/Visual Novel-Like Story

One thing is sure, I've given myself another reason to torture my mind with this kind of writing plan. By the way, you've seen my new profile pic, right? That's the start of it. And if you're updated with the stories I posted on my Wattpad account (assuming there are people who were really waiting for those updates), then you'll know that I've already started posting the synopsis of that visual novel-like story I'm planning to write.

Anyway, I also decided that I should post that same synopsis here. If you can, please tell me what you think about this.

Me As A Writer (Preferred Genres)

So... Ito ang Part 2 ng pagkukuwento ek-ek ko (haha!) tungkol sa pagsusulat ko. Nabanggit ko last time na isusunod ko namang ikuwento sa inyo ang mga trip kong isulat na genres. So heto na:

Me As A Writer (The Start)

Hindi ako mahilig mag-promote ng mga pinagsususulat ko, maliban na lang talaga kung gusto ko. At siguro, alam ninyong lahat iyan na napapadaan dito sa page ko at pati na rin sa profile ko. Bukod sa talagang shy type akong tao, hindi ako kumportable na mag-promote ng walang tigil. Kaya siguro hindi umaabot ng ganoon kalaki ang reads at votes ng mga pinagsususulat ko rito at sa Wattpad. Kung minsan, kahit sinasabihan na ako na subukan ko namang magsulat ng ganito, ganyan para lang dumami ang reads, hindi ko pa rin ginagawa. Ewan ko.

Requesting...

Heto na ako:

Na-mention ko kagabi na naumpisahan ko nang isulat ang "Thorned Blades of the Orient Seas", which was another version of TLSOTE. And it's a collection of romantic fantasy one-shot stories. Well, Filipino version po ito ng Power Casters series. Ang iniisip ko ngayon, hanapan ng special abilities or powers ang ilang characters sa collection na iyon. By the way, kung ano ang powers ng character sa Filipino version, ganoon din ang sa Japanese at Korean counterparts nila.

Heto ang problema ko:

Wala pa akong maisip para sa mga characters na ito from TLSOTE.

Changes In TLSOTE's Visual Inspirations

Binanggit ko lang kagabi (o kaninang madaling araw) ss FB account ko na sa tagal ko nang hindi nag-a-update ng "The Last Sky of the Earth", at sa dami na rin ng mga version na naiisip ko from that story, dumating na rin ako sa point na may nabago. Isa na doon ang mga visual inspirations na ginamit ko.

📍Shinomiya:
**Shiro Nishikawa - from Jeong Jinwoon to SpeXial's Simon Hsiang

📍Azuraya:
**Hotaru Azuraya - from Kitagawa Keiko to Kurumi Shizu
**Shuichi Yoshino - from Lee Changmin to Fujigaya Taisuke

📍Yumemiya
**Akira Sakagami - from Jo Kwon to Tawada Hideya
**Miyako Yumemiya - from Kutsuna Shiori to Park Bo Young

📍Yasunaga
**Alexis Lanster - from U-KISS' Eli to MYNAME's Kim Se Yong

Kung nakikita n'yo, mga characters pa lang na nag-appear sa Book 1. Isa pa, nasa Book 1 pa lang ako. Hindi ko pa nga natatapos isulat iyon, eh. Next time na lang 'yong mga characters na magpapakita sa Book 2 at Book 3 na nabago ang visual inspirations.

And yes, ngayon ko lang napansin na walang nabagong visual inspirations sa mga characters from Miyuzaki clan. Hehe!

Another Writing Plan

Okay. Hindi ko maalala kung saan ko i-p-in-ost iyong status ko about rewriting a story from my high school that was originally a horror. Hindi ko maalala kung horror nga ba talaga 'yong sinulat ko noon, eh. But still, it's one of the best writing memories I had. I mean, kahit medyo trying hard at may ka-corny-han na rin kung ibabase ko sa mindset ko ngayon, isa pa rin iyon sa mga isinulat ko na talaga namang proud ako.

Visual Novel: Can I Do It?

Weird question ba? Yeah, I know. Kahit ako, medyo na-weird-uhan. Uy, hindi ganoon kadaling magsulat ng story for a visual novel, ah. Lalo na kung maraming choices talaga. Pero gusto kong subukan. And I'm planning to write it in English.

Oo na. Pahihirapan ko na naman ang sarili ko. May bago ba? Ang dami kong mga bagay na gustong subukang gawin. Hindi ko naman alam kung paano sisimulan.

In any case, may nakaplano na akong isulat. I'll just start with two choices first per routes. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung ilang two choices ang gagawin ko. Trial pa lang naman, eh. And then I'm planning to post it on my Tumblr account. At least, may ibang purpose iyon bukod sa pagpo-post ng mga Instagram pics ko at pagre-reblog ng mga kung anu-anong mga pics at quotes.

The story that I'm planning to write as a trial visual novel? A different version of "The Last Sky of the Earth". Bakit different version? Dahil fantasy po ang pinaplano kong gawin doon. Sa ngayon, iyon ang isang difference na naiisip kong ilagay doon.

Mahirap, 'di ba? Yes, I know. Iniisip ko pa lang, wala na. Pero gusto kong subukan. Wala namang masama, 'di ba?
