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!

NAPAGDESISYUNAN nina Kourin at Takeru na sa tanghaling tapat na sila magtungo sa archives room kung saan nakatago ang librong kailangan nilang dalawa. Iyon lang kasi ang oras na alam nilang walang gaanong mang-iistorbo at kukuwenstiyon sa pagpunta nila sa lugar na iyon.

Hindi nga sila nagkamali. Agad silang pinapasok doon nang wala man lang problema.

But Kourin couldn't help feeling nervous about something. Maybe she was too excited? Or perhaps it was a premonition. Who knows?

Takeru felt the young lady's anxiety that he couldn't help placing a hand on her shoulder. Napatingin si Kourin sa kanya. He only responded with a slight squeeze. Matapos niyon ay naramdaman niyang kumalma ito.

The earliest full-length fantasy story I've ever written, but never got to finish until now. Even so, I still don't want to let this go. For me to remember that, I'm posting these character pics compiled for now. 😄😄

the last sky of the earth 73 - genealogy book

HINDI maintindihan ni Kourin kung para saan ang kabang nararamdaman niya nang mga sandaling iyon. Naroon sila ni Reiko sa rooftop at hinihintay na lang niya itong magsalita.

"You're really one extraordinary person, Rin Fujioka," umpisa ni Reiko.

Napakunot ng noo si Kourin. "Anongー?"

"I haven't seen my best friend smile like that in a long time now. Since you came, pakiramdam ko ay unti-unti nang bumabalik sa dati si Seiichi." Humarap si Reiko kay Kourin at bahagyang yumukodーjust as how a Japanese would do when they wanted to express gratitude. "Thank you."

【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. 😄😄

A story banner I made for Flower Heart Chronicles even though I haven't started writing this yet. Anyway, the story will be a fantasy-romance and set in Cloud Dimensionーthe very same realm where the Earth's Power Casters originated. But even though it will be set in the same realm, the race of characters here will not be called Power Casters. I still need to figure out that part, though.

【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.

This is the YA romance series that I've planned writing near the end of my college years. I've already written three of these stories. The first one was already published, the second one was to be published (though I'm not really sure when) and the third is for revision. I'm still aiming to finish all twelve, though. 😄😄

Hikari/Kagura (ToQger): No Matter What

Changes will happen between you and me. But always remember that I'll stay with you no matter what... ~ Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

Only a heavy sigh escaped Kagura's mouth as she continued watching Hikari having another argument with Right. Reasoning with someone as active as Right seemed to be a daily chore for Hikari since they were kids. Her friend should've known that for a long time now.

In a while, she ended up smiling at the sight. Ten years had passed and their ToQger days might be over (at least, until they were needed to help the Rainbow Line again). But it seemed that things hadn't changed at all. At least, on the way they treated each other.

Then again, who was she lying to? Of course, something had changed. In those 10 years that passed, after all those adventures they experienced, she knew in her heart that something had changed. Kagura saw that as she looked at Tokacchi and Mio who might have been debating at the moment. But on a closer look at their relationship, one could see how obvious the changes were.

【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. 😄😄

the last sky of the earth 72 - knight's scene: rescue mission

KULANG ang sabihing napuno ng tensyon ang buong Shinomiya mansion dahil sa ginagawang pagpaplano ng dalawang clan leaders tungkol sa gagawing rescue operation kay Seiichi. Idagdag pa na ikinukonsidera rin nila ang mga pahayag nina Iapetus at Hestia. Kaya hindi na nakakapagtaka na talagang kahit sinong pinakakalmadong tao yata ay matetensyon sa mga nangyayari.

Dumating sa mansion sina Tetsuya at Amiko kasama si Ayuka. Of course, Theron was surprised to see the Inubushi Group's heiress in the flesh after a long time. Nonetheless, it was obvious that he was glad to see the young woman.

"I never thought you would entertain the idea of coming to this country after all this time," komento ni Theron nang lapitan nito si Ayuka.

"I could use a little break, you know. Besides, I'm not here to have a vacation that almost everyone wanted me to have."

"GREAT! Just the people I need to see," ani Akemi pagdating niya sa conference room kung saan naroon ang mga taong kailangan talaga niyang makausap sa mga sandaling iyon.

Lalong-lalo na si Theron at Aya. Alexis left the mansion even before Akemi arrived, but not without calling her that he would investigate further about the explosion at Shiasena. Nangako naman siya rito na sasabihin ang anumang kahihinatnan ng pakikipag-usap niya kina Theron at Aya.

"Akemi! What made you come here?" tanong ni Shouda. Pero bago pa man niya marinig ang magiging sagot ng dalaga, agad na kumuha sa atensyon niya ang dala-dala nito na tila nakabalot sa linen. "What's that you're holding?"

Tiningnan ni Akemi ang dala-dalang bagay at inilapag iyon sa mesa. Specifically, she placed it in front of Theron. "Just something which I need both Lord Theron and Aya's confirmation kung ito nga ba ang isa sa mga hinahanap n'yo o hindi."

"GANOON ba kalala ang pinsalang tinamo si Seiichi para abutin ng dalawang araw na ganitong wala siyang malay?" hindi na napigilang itanong ni Kourin kay Shingo nang araw na iyon na muli niyang binisita ang binata sa ospital.

Huminga nang malalim ang doktor bago hinarap ang dalagita. "Hindi na nakakapagtaka iyon, considering the fact that the one he dueled at the time was Oceanus. Alam kong hindi na lingid sa 'yo ang kakayahan ng taong iyon."

"I know that. Pero hindi iyon ang inaalala ko, eh."

"What do you mean?" kunot-noong tanong ni Shingo.

the last sky of the earth 69 - insight he feared

Though Kourin could be seen mainly pacing in her room again, her expression showed something different this time. It already reached her that Seiichi was rescued under strange circumstances, as Takeru described it to her. Yes, that man personally reported the events to her and she wasn't surprised. But her eyes widened when Takeru told her that they found Seiichi fighting Oceanus.

She knew who Oceanus was and what that traitor was capable of. So it was no wonder why the news surprised her. Then again, she had never really known Seiichi for her to realize what that young man could do. However, she could tell that her late brother had a hand with it -- again. And was it possible that Seiichi's grandfather could also be involved in it?

The clan princess doesn't know the old man for her to make even a vague guess. One thing she was aware of, however, was that Kyoichi Yasuhara had always been known to be a formidable man. Hitoshi would always reiterate that. It was as if... her brother truly knew what that old man could do.

"You sure like pacing around here, my lady. Dahan-dahan lang at baka mahilo ka naman niyan."

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.

the last sky of the earth 68 - knight's scene: resurfacing memories

HINDI PA man nagsisimula, gusto nang magwala ni Yasha. Paano ba naman kasi? Tinawagan siya ni Shingo--which she doesn't even know how in the world did that doctor manage to retrieve her personal number and not her business number--at sinabi nito sa kanya na magsisimula na ang counseling niya rito. Gusto sana niyang sabihin dito na ayaw niya at wala siyang oras. But the authoritative tone he used in ensuing that "order" was something that made her agree.

Hindi alam ni Yasha kung bakit ganoon na lang siya kadaling napapayag ng doktor na iyon. But then, umoo na siya kaya wala nang urungan. Saka na niya pag-iisipang batukan ang sarili dahil sa katangahan niya. Iyon ay kung katangahan talagang maikokonsidera iyon.

"Ano na naman kaya ang nasa utak ni Doctor Shingo at dito pa talaga niya gustong magkita kami? And heck! Babae pa talaga ang pinaghintay niya. Grabe!" Naroon kasi si Yasha sa botanical garden kung saan sila nagkaroon ng reunion moment ni Shingo na sinira lang ni Iapetus dahil sa pagsugo ng huli. Sa totoo lang, ayaw na niyang isipin iyon. Pero gaya ng dati, marami ang naglalarong isipin sa utak niya kapag inaalala niya iyon.

Ang nakakatawa, pulos mga alaalang ipinagkait sa kanya ang nagpapakita sa isipan ni Yasha. Those were memories that the trauma she suffered during that time had blocked from her mind. Kasabay niyon ay nagsusulputan din ang mga tanong sa kanyang isipan.

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.

the last sky of the earth 67 - knight's scene: on the site

"I THINK Lady Shouda would scold us big time if she finds out we're already heading out without her permission," sabi ni Takeru habang tumatakbo sila ni Daryll patungo sa abandonadong building kung saan alam nilang naroon si Seiichi at ilan pang miyembro ng Dark Rose.

Daryll abruptly stopped running and faced Takeru who also stopped as soon as he did. "I don't think we have to worry about that. Nakita na tayo ni Lady Mari. At hindi na nakakapagtaka na malaman niya ang plano natin. We can't simply rely on the clan leaders, especially now that we know about Seiichi's past with regards to the deaths of his parents and his grandfather's sudden disappearance even before the attack at the mansion."

Well, Takeru knew that his mentor had a point on that. Bahala nang magalit ang mga clan leaders sa kanila. Ang mahalaga sa mga sandaling iyon ay mailigtas nila si Seiichi. Hindi pa niya gustong multuhin ni Hitoshi kapag hindi niya nagawa nang maayos iyon.

'Lame joke, Takeru Uehara.' Aminado naman siya roon. But he had to do something so that he wouldn't end up crazy. Marami pa siyang kailangang gawin at wala pa sa plano niya ang mabaliw pagkatapos ng lahat.

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.

the last sky of the earth 66 - knight's scene: shichi rairyuuken

"LIGHTNING Dragon Twin Slashing Kodachi Style."

Pero pagkunot ng noo ang naging tugon ni Takeru sa narinig na sagot ni Ryuuji sa itinanong niya rito. Ipinaalam kasi niya rito ang naobserbahan niya sa technique na ipinamalas ng babaeng muntik nang pumatay sa kanya nang magpunta siya sa bahay ni Seiichi. Hindi na niya gustong ipaalam pa sa kahit kanino ang naging ordeal niya para lang makalabas nang buhay sa lugar na iyon.

"Well, that was a long name for a blade technique," kapagkuwan ay saad ni Takeru.

"Ancient na ang technique na iyon, kung tutuusin. Iilan na nga lang ang talagang nakakaalam ng impormasyon tungkol doon."

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.

the last sky of the earth 65 - prediction

SAKIT NG katawan ang unang sumalubong sa pakiramdam ni Seiichi bago siya nagmulat ng mga mata. Pambihira lang! Daig pa niya ang bagaheng tila ilang beses nang nagpagulong-gulong nang mga sandaling iyon. But in his case, mukhang matindi nga yata ang bugbog na natamo niya.

Seiichi remembered that one of those goons had really knocked him hard, causing him to lose consciousness. Hindi na kasi siya nakapag-isip nang tama lalo na nang makita niya na nawalan ng malay si Reiko. And to think his friend had practiced swordsmanship longer than he did...

Nangangahulugan lang iyon na hindi basta-basta ang mga nakabangga nila ni Reiko. Pero bakit naman sila susugurin ng mga iyon? If this was just about Seiichi's involvement with Hitoshi, hindi na kailangang idamay pa ng mga ito ang dalaga. Siya lang ang dapat na t-in-arget ng mga ito.

Until it hit Seiichi.

the last sky of the earth 64 - knight's scene: vault

WALANG tigil sa pag-ubo si Kana habang pilit na bumabangon mula sa pagkakadagan ng isang malapad na kahoy at may kalakihang sliding window sa kanya. Patuloy lang siya sa paghinga nang malalim habang napapatingin sa paligid.

Pumalatak na lang si Kana sa nakitang damage na ginawa ng kalokohan ni Hera para lang tapusin siya.

"Mukhang maluwag na talaga ang turnilyo sa utak ng babaeng iyon." But then, ano pa nga ba ang aasahan ni Kana? Matagal nang baliw ang mga miyembro ng Dark Rose para sa kanila na kalaban ng mga ito. And worse, their skills had truly compensated for that.

And to think si Hera pa lang so far ang nakakharap ni Kana sa mga Dark Rose since the attack... Mukha ngang desidido na talaga ang mga demonyong iyon. It only meant one thingーthey don't have much time left. She picked up her weapon and with the push of a button, retracted the blade stretched out from both ends of the cylinder.

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.

the last sky of the earth 63 - knight's scene: tunnel

PATULOY sa pagtakbo paalis sa temple grounds sina Amiko at Tetsuya nang maramdaman nila ang bahagyang paggalaw ng lupa. Kasabay niyon ay sumalubong sa pandinig nila ang isang malakas na pagsabog. Ganoon na lang ang pagkagimbal at kabang naramdaman nila nang makita ang pag-akyat ng makapal na usok mula sa lugar kung saan alam nilang naroon si Kana.

"I really hate that Hera!" nagngingitngit na saad na lang ni Tetsuya habang nakakuyom ang kamao nito.

But surprisingly, Amiko remained stoic after all that. "I don't think Hera's that skilled enough to destroy Kana like that. But we still need to get out of here and head out to the tunnel where you and Lady Kourin escaped. Marami pa tayong kailangang gawin."

"I can't believe all you could think of after what you've seen is work and more work," iiling-iling lang si Tetsuya kahit na sabihin pang may punto ito roon.

the last sky of the earth 62 - knight's scene: crimson lancer

"AMIKO, did you keep track kung ilang hidden Shinto shrines meron dito sa Pilipinas ang babalaking pasabugin ng mga sira-ulong iyon?" Kahit nonsense nang maituturing ay nagawa pa ring itanong ni Kana habang sinusundan niya sina Amiko at Tetsuya.

Tinatahak nilang tatlo ang daan patungo sa hidden Shinto shrine kung saan inatake na naman ng mga Dark Rose si Kourin. Pero sa totoo lang, may sa demonyo yata ang lugar na iyon. Or maybe even a 'Dark Rose magnet', as Kana would like to call it. Lagi na lang doon napapahamak ang prinsesa nila.

Or at least that was what Kana thought.

Pero hindi rin nila puwedeng ignorahin ang sikretong itinatago ng lugar na iyon. Lalo pa't ipinakita na sa kanila ni Tetsuya ang pruweba na naglalaman ng isa sa posibleng sagot sa mga tanong nila tungkol sa nasabing lugar.

the last sky of the earth 61 - knight's scene: profiles

ABALA SA pagbabasa ng mga nagkalat na profiles sa tatlong malalaking computer screen si Hades sa harap niya nang mga sandaling iyon. Pero nakatuon ang atensiyon niya sa anim na profiles na naroon. Tatlong babae at tatlong lalaki--lahat ay alam niyang sagabal sa mga plano ng big boss ng grupo nila.

But then, there were a few things that the big boss didn't know about those six. As Hades hovered his fingers on one of the profiles on the touch screen and zoomed it for better reading, his eyes narrowed at the sight of the name written on it just beside the picture of a 17-year-old Japanese girl.

"Who would've thought this girl would actually survive that kind of ambush? The gods must have been good to her at the time, huh?" Hades mumbled with a snort as he looked intently at the picture.

Oo, ang tinutukoy ni Hades ay walang iba kundi ang labing-pitong taong gulang na si Kourin Shinomiya--or as for now, the girl was using the name Rin Fujioka. But no matter how many times she changed her damned name, she would always remain a Shinomiya. Which was, of course, the revered name that not only Hades, but also the rest of the group truly loathed the most.

'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 last sky of the earth 60 - what does he know

Kourin had a hard time staying still in her room. Many things played in her mind that made her unable to just sit and rest. But how could she even think about resting when Seiichi was still in trouble? And not just any trouble. It was trouble related to the Dark Rose. The one trouble that she had tried to prevent Seiichi from dealing with since the beginning.

And now, she felt as if she failed in doing so. How could she haven't done more to prevent the kidnapping? Honestly, she wanted to cry due to her frustration. But she knew more than anyone that crying had not helped her achieve anything. Yes, her frustration started to get the best of her and she wasn't liking it at all.

But at this point, she needed to do her best to calm down. It was needed just so she could think clearly.

"You'd end up getting wrinkles at an early age if you keep worrying like that, my lady."

KULANG ANG sabihing tila tinuklaw ng ahas sina Takeru at Mamoru sa unang bagay na ipinagtapat ni Yasha sa kanila.

"You mean, si Akemi ang nagturo sa iyo sa paggamit ng baril?" hindi pa rin makapaniwala si Mamoru habang itinatanong iyon.

Yasha rolled her eyes as she groaned. "Kailangan talagang naka-repeat play ang lahat ng sasabihin ko bago mo maintindihan?"

"Who's Akemi?" tanong naman ni Raiden.

the last sky of the earth 58 - knight's scene: two households

"THIS IS seriously starting to get worse than I thought," komento ni Kenji nang matapos sabihin sa kanya ang summary ng mga pangyayari na naging dahilan para madukot si Seiichi.

"But it surely proves one thing. That boy held something which would make it the more reason for him to be abducted," dagdag naman ni Shouda as she was tapping her fingers on the table. "And by the Dark Rose, at that." Mayamaya pa ay hinarap niya si Aya Yukimura na nagkataong kasama nina Theron at Alexis. Of course, those three entered the mansion without the other's knowledge. "Do you have any idea as to why they would do that to Seiichi? Because honestly, I have no idea what kind of issue we're dealing with right now when it comes to that boy."

Nanatiling tahimik si Aya subalit hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ng dalawang clan leader ang tinging iginawad ng babae kay Theron. Marahil ay humihingi ito ng permiso sa Miyamoto clan prince. In the end, Theron decided to answer.

"Right now, we don't have any solid proof but we do have a reason why we're monitoring Seiichi. Other than the fact that he was Hitoshi Shinomiya's best friend, we think that he's the one we're actually looking for."

the last sky of the earth 57 - confusions

"I CAN'T believe I would still see a proof of Onii-sama's bad habit of confusing people," iiling-iling na komento ni Kourin nang ipakita sa kanya nina Satoru ang dala-dalang Iris Sword. Nakapatong iyon sa office table niya pagdating na pagdating niya sa mansion matapos ang engkwentro nila ni Tetsuya sa mga sniper ng Dark Rose.

Hay... Laking pasamalat na lang talaga ng prinsesa dahil nagawa siyang itakas ni Tetsuya mula sa papaguhong templo. And thanks to Chrono and Julie who dealt with the rest of the Dark Rose's minions, they've further evaded more danger. Pero sa buong durasyon ng biyahe nila pabalik sa mansion, hindi maalis-alis sa isipan niya ang mga nasilayan niya sa hallway ng templong iyon.

Why would the tapestries representing the clans belonging to the Shrouded Flowers be displayed there? Idagdag pa ang mga nakita niyang emblem na rosas ang gamit. Kourin knew what the flowers meant and who actually used it as an emblem. Pero sino naman ang maglalagay niyon sa lugar na iyon?

"Does that mean you also haven't seen this passage before, Princess?" tanong ni Satoru na pumutol sa pagmumuni-muni niya.

"WELL, SERIOUSLY, this is the first time you've actually volunteered to assist me in dealing with that hardheaded woman," hindi napigilang komento ni Takeru habang tinatahak ni Mamoru ang daan patungo sa tahanan ng mga Wilford gamit ang Ford Expedition nito.

Mamoru chuckled as he was speeding up his car. "Pareho lang kayong matigas ang ulo, Takeru. Kaya ako nag-volunteer na samahan ka dahil hindi ko pa pinangarap na magkaroon ng World War 3 sa pagitan ninyong dalawa ng babaeng iyon sa oras na magkita na naman kayo."

Takeru responded to that with a snort, though. "She just insists on doing things her own way. That's why she always finds herself in trouble."

"And yet you're still willing to stay by her side despite knowing she doesn't need your help. Para namang hindi ko alam kung gaano mo siya kamahal hanggang ngayon, Takeru. Handa ka pa ring protektahan siya kahit ikaw mismo ang sumira sa dapat sana'y simula na ng maayos na buhay para sa iyo."

the last sky of the earth 55 - knight's scene: moon knights

IF THERE was one thing that Tetsuya hated so much in the whole world, it was the fact that he had to deal with not just one, but two terribly skilled snipers among the Dark Rose. He was supposed to be just inside his room, doing the usual things he loved to do and he did his best--hacking and intelligence research. Kung hindi man ay samahan si Amiko sa pagbabantay kay Kourin.

But facing Artemis and Apollo, who happened to be two of the best gunners and snipers of the agency? Tetsuya wasn't looking for an early execution at that point. Dapat ay ang mga kamag-anak niya na sina Chrono at Mamoru ang humaharap sa mga ito. Or maybe kahit si Julie na lang. That young lady's skills in sniping was surely deadly.

Kaya lang, ang malaking problema, hindi ma-contact ni Tetsuya ang sinuman sa tatlong iyon. Now he had to protect the princess and deal with the two snipers ― all alone!

"I'm sorry, Tetsuya. I got engrossed in looking at the tapestries," hinging-paumanhin ni Kourin na dahilan naman upang mapatingin si Tetsuya rito. Fear and something akin to immense curiosity probably with the issues regarding the tapestries ― were evident in her eyes.

the last sky of the earth 54 - knight's scene: certain questions

BUNTONG-HININGA lang ang iginawad ni Takeru habang nag-aabang sa labas ng conference room at humihiling na sana ay matapos na ang meeting na iyon. Iyon ang isa sa nagpapa-frustrate sa kanya nang mga sandaling iyon. Wala siyang VIP access na makapasok sa silid na iyon at pakinggan ang mga detalye ng pag-uusap doon.

But Takeru knew where he lies. Kumpara kasi kina Daryll at Shingo, wala pa siya sa tamang posisyon para mapagbigyan ng ganoong klaseng access. He was actually two levels below Daryll and three levels below Shingo. Kaya naman hayun at magre-rely na naman siya sa kung ano ang sasabihin sa kanya ng mentor niya, who happened to be Daryll.

Hindi na nga katulad ng dati ang lahat--iyon ang nasa isipan ni Takeru. Pero kailangan niyang tanggapin iyon kung gusto niyang magawa pa nang maayos ang trabaho niya. Iyon na lang ang magagawa niya kung gusto niyang maisagawa nang matino ang mga dapat niyang gawin para na rin sa prinsesa.

~"My sister isn't your only priority now, Takeru. My uncle and my best friend... protect them in my place..."~

the last sky of the earth 53 - portrait of the tapertries

Yes, she was in danger. And yet at that point, all Kourin could think of was to solve the mystery right in front of her. The nine tapestries that had now triggered something in her mind, for some reason. Hindi niya lubusang maintindihan kung bakit ganoon na lang kalaki ang epekto ng mga tapestries na iyon sa kanyang isipan. Pero… isa lang naman ang dahilan para mangyari iyon sa kanya, 'di ba?

Wait a minute! Did she see those tapestries before?

"You sure have a curious mind, little princess."

Doon siya natigilan. But no matter how spine-chilling that voice was, Kourin didn't give a care. Her mind was somewhere else, no matter how she wanted to stop it from wandering. A memory started to flood her mind and was giving her a headache due to the onslaught of those visions.

Pero sa puntong iyon, alam niyang mahalagang makita niyang muli ang mga visions na iyon. Sigurado siya na bahagi iyon ng ilang alaalang nawala sa kanya…

"You're watching them again, Kourin."

Kourin turned around and her smile widened as she saw Hitoshi approaching, together with someone. She couldn't help frowning as she looked at the young man walking closely behind the smiling Hitoshi.

That was when Hitoshi turned to face his companion. "You haven't met my youngest sister, right? This is Kourin. Kourin, this is my shadow guardian, Shuji. Haruta Shuji."

"Isn't it too late for you to have a shadow guardian?"

Hitoshi sighed. "Hey, I just turned 13. I'm still young."

"I didn't say you're old. I just said it's late. You're reacting again." But Kourin's laughter upon teasing her brother faded as she faced the portrait of the nine tapestries once again. "Onii-chan, why do you have this portrait here exclusively in your room?"

The clan prince raised his head and eyed the portrait that Kourin was looking at. "You could say that I needed a sense of originality in my private space. Besides, it was a gift to me."

"A gift?" Kourin faced Hitoshi, her eyes filled with curiosity. "From who?"

"A new friend."

Okay. Her brother was acting cryptic again by saying such things. Then again, Hitoshi was known to be a cryptic individual even at a young age. "And I can feel that you're not going to tell me who that is."

Hitoshi smiled and ruffled her hair. She swatted his hand away from her head. "Stop doing that! You're messing with my hair again." He truly liked making her a source of his amusement. Soon after, she looked at the portrait once again. "I wonder if these tapestries were real. I'd like to have a look at them one day."

"What made you say that?"

"I don't know. But looking at the portrait of these tapestries like this, it seems as if I'd seen them somewhere." With a chuckle, she faced her older brother. "But that would be weird, right?"

For some reason, the smile on her face faded as he saw the serious look on Hitoshi's face. "Is there something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Moments later, Hitoshi shook his head as a response. "You should be sleeping now. You can take a look at this portrait tomorrow after your lessons."

Taking it as an order from her older brother, Kourin nodded and stood from her seat, Kissing his cheek goodnight as she would always do, she turned and left Hitoshi's room. But she hadn't completely closed the door when she heard the person named Shuji speak for the first time.

"Why didn't you tell her the truth, my lord?" she heard Shuji inquire, his voice laced with worry.

What truth? Kourin did her best to listen to the conversation.

"She won't understand at this point, Shuji. And I don't want to hurt her feelings. I know I don't have much time left. But I can't simply leave everything as it is. I need to provide a path for Kourin to realize what she's about to face once I'm gone."

What was going on? Why was she hearing this from Hitoshi now, of all times?

"You could've started doing that by telling her about the tapestries. She might've been young when she first saw them. But even your grandparents could tell that she holds the key to solving the puzzles of those tapestries."

"And I'm not denying that. But at this point, I'd rather not deny her the life that she had to live for her to understand her world more. Once she had a good grasp of that, she'd be able to utilize her true ability to lead the Shrouded Flowers one day."

The grave tone of her brother's voice made her heart beat fast, for some reason. Shutting her eyes tight, she tried to absorb the information she had just learned. So she had seen them before. Shuji now confirmed it for her. But how come Shuji knew that? Had he been there at the time? But Hitoshi said that Shuji just became his shadow guardian. Or was there something more to that young man?

In any case, she'd better take a good look at the tapestries in that portrait once again. She could do it tomorrow...

Kourin's eyes snapped open as she looked up at the tapestries. Iba rin ang pagtibok ng puso niya ng mga sandaling iyon habang nakatingin sa mga tapestries. Though she knew she was disregarding the danger she was into at the moment, she just had to take a look once again. The tapestries on her brother's portrait were the same as the ones displayed in this room! There was no doubt about it.

'How can this be?'

But further questions drowned in her mind as she finally realized the danger behind her at the moment. She didn't dare speak, even though her mind was racing while thinking of a way to get out of the situation. Hindi pa siya maaaring pangunahan ng takot sa mga sandaling iyon.

"Still not talking, huh? Then again, what's the use? You're going to die, anyway. Sige na nga, isusunod na kita sa mga magulang mo't mga kapatid mo," said a woman's sultry voice that she might have heard somewhere. Only, she couldn't recall where.

Even so, the threat didn't scare her. It did surprise her to feel that way. Pero hindi na siguro nakakapagtaka ang bagay na iyon.

Once again, she looked at the tapestries as inconspicuous as she could. Hindi siya sigurado pero talagang nakuha ng mga tapestries na iyon ang kuryosidad niya. 'Any time now…' Kourin would let those words echo in her mind over and over. She knew she had to believe that.

She was about to turn around -- she had the urge to do so -- when she saw a gun thrown away from her, followed by a cry of pain coming from one of her assailants. Her eyes widened and turned around to see the situation. Tama ba ang nakikita niya?

"I knew Shuji was an excellent sniper for his age. But I never thought I'd see it with my own eyes. He could seriously be a part of the Yumemiya clan for that."

Kourin couldn't help sighing in relief as she saw Tetsuya smirk after saying those words. Then again, what did he say? Shuji?

Now, what was that guy up to for actually shooting the gun from Artemis' hand? At paano nalaman ng mga ito na naroon siya sa templong iyon?

"Don't worry, my lady. Your shadow guardian will not abandon you no matter how curious you are. Hindi pa ako nasisiraan ng bait para pabayaan ka."

As the night wind howls, the longing I had in my heart remains. Hoping that it'll reach you, wherever you are right now... ~ Florence Joyce

They've all chosen different paths in order to grow and learn even more after the last battle. Of course, it was sad that they had to be separated when, for a long time, they managed to work and stay together in order to protect the world. But they chose to do this.

For their sakes as still learning Gosei Angels.

But at times, for Eri, she couldn't help yearning for those wonderful times that she was with her friends. After all her appointments with her patients and she was left alone, her mind would always be directed to those parts of her memories. She was smiling in nostalgia as she would do so. And yet, even with that, something still felt off.

the last sky of the earth 52 - knight's scene: secret room

KULANG NA lang ay inuntog ni Raiden ang ulo niya sa kinahihigaan habang parang tanga na nakatingin sa kisame ng dojo nila. Katatapos lang niyang mag-training at sa mga sandaling iyon ay nakahiga siya at nagpapahinga sa gitna ng silid. Pero nag-training na siya't lahat, hindi pa rin nawawala sa isipan niya ang mga nalaman niya mula sa pagiging usisero niya noong isang linggo. At batid din niyang may nangyaring hindi maganda nang makipagkita si Yasha sa kung sino two days ago. His sister was pretty much worried about something since then.

Kaya naman ang drama ng buhay ni Raiden nang mga sandaling iyon, hayun at nagdedebate ang kanyang isipan tungkol sa isang desisyon. He had to think about the factors of his decision whatever happens. But somehow, the only thought that goes in his mind was to help Yasha with her mission--whatever it was. Pero kailangang may mahita rin siya sa gagawin niyang pagtulong sa Ate niya.

Raiden had been keeping a certain secret that their father had once told them. Somehow, he had a strong feeling that the memories blocked from his sister's mind hid a lot of secrets--one that, somehow, would be more than enough to change their lives forever. Kung sasabihin niya kay Yasha ang mga nalalaman niya, gusto niya ay ipagtapat rin sana nito ang anumang may kinalaman sa misyon nito.

"You should be sleeping in your room. Not here."

the last sky of the earth 51 - knight's scene: conference

BACK AT the mansion, mararamdaman naman ang tensyon sa paligid--lalo na sa loob ng conference room na west wing niyon. For what reason?

Because for the first time since the attack, nagtipon-tipon ang mga importanteng miyembro ng Shrouded Flowers minus the Shinomiya sisters Mari and Kourin. In fact, iyon ang talagang sinamantala ng mga miyembrong dumalo dahil na rin sa isang rason--the issue had something to do with what the princess had truly feared since that night. As for Mari's absence, pinagtuunan nito ng agarang pansin ang isang isyu na may kinalaman pa rin sa pag-atake. But the international actress had to go to Japan for that. May permiso naman nito ang conference na iyon kaya walang problema rito kung magkaroon ng ganoong meeting na kumpleto ang 12 Knights at naroon din ang presensiya ng clan leaders ng Shrouded Flowers.

In addition to that, Daryll and Shingo were also present for a very important reason--it was actually the two of them who asked Mari's permission to organize an important meeting such as that.

"I'm glad I still get to see you again, Daryll," nakangiting bati ni Kenji Azuraya--ang leader ng Azuraya clan--na nakaupo na sa puwestong nakalaan para sa kanya kasama ang kapatid na si Arisa. "Ang akala ko ay tuluyan ka nang nagpahuli sa mga iyon."

The Four Families

*Shinomiya Clan: The Noble Sky*

KOURIN SHINOMIYA (Morita Suzuka) - The "Last Sky" and the current (not to mention the youngest) leader of the Shinomiya clan. After the hunt and battle they had with the Dark Rose, she is able to live her life again using her real name, thus revealing to the world about her survival from the Shinomiya mansion attack in Kyoto a few years before. She proceeded to live her life as a normal college student with Seiichi Yasuhara by her side and still good friends with Raiden Wilford even after rejecting his romantic affection to her. But her normal life soon changed upon learning from Raiden that the Yasunaga clan will finally forsake their isolation in order to destroy the Black Thorns — which was another event that was mention in one of Hitoshi Shinomiya's prophecies. Aside from that, she had to do everything to learn the truth about her brother's death upon meeting Yousuke Raisaki — a young and talented swordsman who bears a striking resemblance to her dead brother! Aside from being a talented leader, she is also an expert in swordsmanship and sharpshooting in spite of her young age. Nanami Miyuzaki later helps her in polishing her sword skills while Takaharu Kousaka became her sharpshooting training. She first learned swordsmanship from her dead older brother when she was four years old. At the age of 9, Mari conveyed a unique way of sharpshooting to her that actually aims her target's wrists, ankles, and the side of the neck, no matter how fast the target moves to avoid her bullets in order to easily disable her target's movements.

the last sky of the earth 50 - in danger

NOONG ISANG gabi pa hindi mapakali si Kourin. Paano ba naman kasi? Hindi mawala-wala sa isipan niya ang nakitang simbolo na nakaukit sa isa sa mga temple doors sa hidden Shinto shrine. Come to think of it, hindi pa niya alam kung ano ang pangalan ng shrine na iyon. But maybe she could ask that to one of the shrine maidens there.

Sa ngayon ay kailangan munang makumpirma ni Kourin ang nakita niya. She had to confirm na tama nga ang hinala niya sa simbolong ilang taon nang misteryo para sa kanya.

A few minutes more, narating na ng prinsesa ang lugar. Ang totoo niyan, tinakbo lang niya ang pagpunta roon galing sa mansion. She had to hurry leaving the mansion without informing the others except Amiko. But the young Knight didn't allow her to leave unless Tetsuya would guard Kourin even just from a distance. Pumayag na lang siya para walang away. Isa pa, naniniguro lang si Amiko.

Kunsabagay, ilang beses na bang muntikan nang mapahamak si Kourin sa lugar na iyon? Weird mang isipin pero parang may kung ano sa paligid ng Shinto shrine na iyon at nilalapitan siya ng kapahamakan. Hindi kaya minumulto na siya?

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:

the last sky of the earth 49 - knight's scene: dangerous reunion pt. 2

Sa palagay ni Shingo, mukhang mahihirapan siya sa babaeng ito. From Yasha's actions alone, he could tell that she was reluctant to accept his offer. Mukhang matindi na ang kagustuhan nitong mag-ingat... at itago ang anumang nalalaman nito. But for what reason? If it was about the Dark Rose, puwede naman silang tumulong dito. But as Takeru had said to him, Yasha had other motive in hunting down the enemy that caused the Shrouded Flowers to suffer like this. Iyon ang kailangan niyang malaman--whatever it takes!

As soon as Shingo sighed inaudibly, he faced Yasha. But a foreboding feeling formed at the back of his mind as he realized that they were being watched. At may palagay na siya kung sino ang mga iyon.

Hindi nagtagal ay naramdaman na rin ni Yasha na may nakamasid nga sa kanila ni Shingo. As she faced the doctor, she saw his alert expression with his narrowed eyes directed at a certain direction. Ilang sandali pa ay hindi nakaligtas sa paningin niya ang mabilisang pagtatago ng kung sino mang nasa likod ng isang malapad na puno malapit sa puwesto nila ni Shingo.

"Stay behind me, Miss Wilford," utos ni Shingo na hindi tumitingin kay Yasha.

the last sky of the earth 48 - knight's scene: dangerous reunion pt. 1

"MASASAPAK talaga kita nang wala sa oras, Takeru. Naku! Huwag na huwag mo lang talagang maiisipang magpakita sa akin at seryosong-seryoso ako na malalagot ka sa akin," nanggigigil na bulong ni Yasha sa sarili niya habang patingin-tingin sa paligid kung saan siya kasalukuyang naghihintay. Well, it was actually Takeru who suggested that she goes to the botanical park. The purpose? To meet the psychiatrist he recommended--kung sino man iyon.

Ang ipinagtataka lang ni Yasha, bakit kailangan pang sa labas sila magkita ng psychiatrist na iyon? Eh puwede namang doon na lang sa bahay niya. But Takeru reasoned that they had to keep it a secret from Raiden kahit na ang kapatid pa niya mismo ang nag-suggest na magpakonsulta na siya sa psychiatrist. Para wala lang away, pinagbigyan na lang niya ito.

Pero pambihira naman! Kailangan ba talagang close to nature pa ang meeting place nina Yasha at ng kung sino mang psychiatrist iyon? Okay, she might have once admitted to Takeru that she was quite a nature lover--quite lang. Pero mukhang mali pa yata ang pagkakaintindi ng lalaking iyon doon.

But in all fairness, Yasha was entranced at the sight of the place. Weird as it might seem, but the area almost felt like it was... magical. Napaismid na lang siya at bahagyang napangiti. Grabe, magiging corny pa yata siya nang wala sa oras.

the last sky of the earth 47 - stand by the choice

"You are seriously crazy right now."

But Kourin didn't even glance at the person who said that as soon as she arrived at the Shinomiya estate. She just continued walking and headed straight to her room. All the while, that person followed her but only stopped by the door. Then again, hindi na bago sa kanya ang kilos nitong iyon.

"Which part of me is crazy, mind telling me? Nananahimik na nga ako rito, eh." In a casual tone, Kourin faced Shuji with a small smile. Pero sa totoo lang, mukhang may ideya na siya sa kung ano ang tinutukoy ng lalaking ito sa kanya.

"Letting Seiichi enter your life -- again."

the last sky of the earth 46 - knight's scene: task

"WHY DO you have to shield me from all this, Ate? Hindi naman ako tatakbo, eh. Tutulungan pa nga kita kung talagang kinakailangan." But since Raiden suddenly felt so weak after hearing all that, nasabi na lang iyon sa sarili nang pabulong. Hindi siya makapaniwala na higit pa sa kung ano ang nalalaman niya ang dahilan ng trauma na pinagdadaanan ng Ate niyang si Yasha. Ang lakas nitong bumanat ng biro at pang-aasar sa kanya kahit ganoon na pala ang problema nito.

Eventually, Raiden's hold on his bakuto tightened not because of anger and frustration but because of determination to help his sister in every way he could. Soon after, he let out a hollow chuckle. May napala rin pala ang pagiging pasaway niya. Well, blame his curiosity for that. Pero dahil pinairal lang naman niya ang pagiging tsismoso, lalong dumami ang mga tanong na naglalaro sa kanyang isipan.

Pero karamihan sa mga tanong na iyon, may kinalaman sa Shinomiya clan. Was it him or the name seemed so familiar to Raiden? Sigurado na siya na minsan na niyang narinig iyon. Hindi nga lang niya matandaan kung kailan at saan. Sa pagkakaalam niya, hindi naman siya naaksidente para ma-trauma o magkaroon ng partial amnesia para makalimutan iyon gaya ng Ate niya. But he was sure of that feeling. Kailangan lang niyang pakaisipin nang mabuti ang tungkol doon.

Raiden sighed and looked at the starry sky. Pero sa ginawa niyang iyon, sumagi sa isipan niya ang isang alaala--one that had a relation to his sister's statement about not remembering what their father had once told them. And at the moment, it hit him--big time.

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me - Chapter 11 (Final)

MULI ay sumemplang si Mirui sa pagla-land niya habang isinasagawa ang triple twist na parte ng kanyang routine para sa ice skating competition na sasalihan niya. Kasalukuyan siyang naroon sa ice skating school ng kanyang ina at nagsasanay. Pero paano niya magagawa ng maayos ang routine na ipe-perform kung ganito namang pati ang simpleng triple twist, hindi pa niya magawa ng tama?

Pinilit niyang umayos ng tayo kahit medyo masakit na ang balakang dahil sa ilang ulit na pagkakamali sa landing niya. But this time, instead of continuing to perfect her routine, she felt drained as she crouched in the middle of the skating rink. Hindi na niya alintana ang lamig na nararamdaman. Ang tanging nais lang niyang gawin ay umiyak. Nothing around her seemed to go the way she wanted to anymore. Nahihirapan na siya.

Ganito ba talaga kalaki ang epekto ng mga sinabi ni Theron sa kanya? Kahit hanggang sa training ay naaalala pa rin niya ito. Sumasagi kasi sa isipan niya ang panahong nag-ice skating silang dalawa ng binata noon. She remembered his warm hands firmly gripping hers as he held on as if his life depended on her. Kahit madalas itong madulas dahil hindi nito maibalanse ang katawan sa ibabaw ng rink, naroon pa rin ang kasiyahan sa kanyang puso dahil nakasama niya itong gawin ang isang bagay na mahal na mahal niya bukod sa musika.

But she would never have that kind of moment with him again. Mukhang malabo na talaga. At mukhang wala na rin siyang dapat asahan.

the last sky of the earth 45 - knight's scene: the reasons i fight

"WRONG TIMING ka ring magpakita sa akin, alam mo ba 'yon?" bungad ni Yasha sa lalaking tila komportable pa talagang nakaupo sa mahabang sofa na animo pag-aari nito ang bahay nila. Pero ang buwisit, hayun at tiningnan lang siya. Kulang na lang ay batukan niya ito.

But Yasha knew better than to do such a thing. Hindi pa siya nasisiraan ng bait para gawin iyon. Besides naaalala pa rin niya ang minsang ginawa ng lalaking ito sa kanya nang tangkain niyang sapakin ito sa sobrang inis niya.

"Ano na naman ba ang kailangan mo at napapadalas yata ang pagpapakita mo sa akin ngayon, ha, Takeru?"

Takeru frowned and finally stood up to face Yasha. "Na naman? I only went here to talk to you two weeks ago."

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.

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me - Chapter 10

PAGPASOK na pagpasok ni Theron sa kuwarto niya nang makauwi na siya sa mansyon ng mga Monterossa ay galit na inihagis niya ang mga gamit na dala. Pinagsisipa niya ang dingding at sinuntok din iyon nang hindi pa siya makuntento. Wala na siyang pakialam sa sakit na nararamdaman dahil mas nangingibabaw ang sakit sa kanyang puso.

Sa lahat ng katangahang nagawa sa buong buhay niya, ito na yata ang isang bagay na wala nang kapatawaran. Hindi siya makapaniwalang nasabi niya ang mga salitang iyn kay Mirui. Of all people na pasasakitan niya nang ganoon, bakit ang babaeng mahal pa niya?

"I'm sorry, Mirui... I'm so sorry..." umiiyak at puno ng pait na bulong niya habang patuloy sa pagsuntok sa dingding. Mayamaya pa ay nanghihinang napasandal siya roon at tila nauupos na kandilang napaupo sa sahig.

Hindi lang naman niya gustong masira ang relasyong inilihim ng dalaga sa kanya kay Lexus. Kaya niya nagawa iyon. Isa pa, binalaan na siya ng ina ni Mirui. Pero alam niyang nangsisinungaling lang siya kapag itinanggi niyang tama ang ginawa niyang pagtataboy sa dalaga.

the last sky of the earth 44 - knight's scene: former lovers

KAHIT ILANG ulit na tingnan at pasadahan ng basa ni Takeru ang mga files na nakalagay sa folder na ibinigay sa kanya ni Dr. Shingo Yanai, tila ayaw tumimo sa isipan niya ang mga impormasyong nabasa niya.

"Is this the reason... for this person to become a target of the Dark Rose?" tanong ni Takeru sa operations psychologist nila. "And now you're asking me a favor? Come on, Shingo. You rarely do that, especially to me."

Pero si Shingo, poker faced pa ring nakatingin kay Takeru at tumango na lang siya para ipakita rito ang punto niya. "Ikaw na lang sa ngayon ang puwedeng kumumbinsi sa kanya na itigil na nang tuluyan ang misyon niya. You're friends with her, right?"

"Yeah, right. But that was before I ditched her and actually let her get involved with our affairs." Kung may ikakasarkastiko pa siguro ang paraan ng pagsagot na iyon ni Takeru, baka iyon na ang ginawa niya. But heck! He had no plans of getting mentally tortured by this guy. Iyon ang kahuli-hulihang bagay na gagawin niya kapag si Shingo ang naisipan niyang kalabanin.

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me - Chapter 9

HINDI mapunit ang ngiting nakapaskil sa mga labi ni Theron habang kasalukuyang nagpapatugtog ng gitara sa silid niya. Ilang araw na rin siyang ganoon at talaga namang nakakapanibago, lalo na sa mga kasamahan niya sa Falcon Knights. Bagaman ilang beses na siyang kinukulit ng mga ito, lalo na nina Selwyn at Errol, hindi siya nagsasabi ng kahit ano.

Ano naman kasi ang sasabihin niya sa mga ito? Maging siya ay hindi maipaliwanag sa sarili ang kasiyahang lumulukob sa kanya hanggang sa mga sandaling iyon. Who would've thought he would come close to being with Mirui like that? Nararamdaman pa rin niya ang init at lambot ng palad nito dahil sa ginawa nitong paghawak sa kamay niya noong isang araw.

It was just a simple gesture, but the effect it gave to his heart was colossal. Hindi nga niya alam kung paano pa nagawang umakto nang normal sa harap ng dalaga sa kabila niyon. Hindi rin niya alam kung bakit ganoon ang epekto ng pagdadaop ng mga palad nila sa kanya. Hindi naman iyon ang unang pagkakataong nangyari ang bagay na iyon.

Maybe because Theron could feel that there was something different with the way Mirui held his hand at the time. It was as if... she was trying to convey something to him. At least, iyon ang pakiramdam niya. Ipinagpatuloy na lang niya ang pagtugtog ng gitara nang hindi magawang hanapan ng paliwanag ang pakiramdam niyang iyon.

...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 last sky of the earth 43 - about time

NAKAKAILANG buntong-hininga na si Kourin pero wala pa ring matinong sagot na lumalabas sa utak niya. Hindi niya maintindihan ang sarili niya nang mga sandaling iyon. What exactly was the reason for her to hesitate?

Naroon si Kourin sa Zen Garden ng mansion. It was already 6 in the evening. Noong nagdaang araw pa tinanong sa kanya ni Seiichi ang kagustuhan nitong mag-start over again sila. Sa totoo lang, hindi siya sigurado kung anong masamang hangin ang c-um-ontaminate sa utak niya at kahit nalilito't nagulat ay hindi pa rin niya napigilang kiligin... at masaktan na rin at the same time.

This time, hindi na buntong-hininga ang ginawa ni Kourin kundi wagas na pagkamot sa likod ng ulo niya. Pero kadalasan lang niyang ginagawa iyon kapag talagang walang matinong sagot na pumapasok sa utak niya lalo na at matagal niyang pinag-isipan iyon.

Inilibot ni Kourin ang tingin sa paligid ng Zen garden. It wasn't anything like those at the Shinomiya mansion back in Kyoto. Pero sapat pa rin ang nakikita niya para bigyan siya ng katahimikan na kailangan niya kahit na talagang panandalian lang iyon. She tried to bask in the peacefulness habang pinagbibigyan niya ang sarili na pag-isipan nang husto--for the last time--ang magiging desisyon niya.

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me - Chapter 8

"IT'S RARE to see you up here practicing."

Natigil sa pagtugtog ng gitara si Mirui nang marinig iyon. Kasabay niyon ay ang awtomatikong pagbilis ng tibok ng kanyang puso nang malingunan kung sino iyon. Naroon siya sa rooftop ng building ng College of Arts para mag-unwind sa pamamagitan ng pagtugtog ng gitara.

"Kailangan ko rin naman ng change of atmosphere, 'no? Masama ba 'yon?" Kapagkuwan ay napayuko siya nang hindi niya magawang tagalan ang tinging iginagawad ni Theron sa kanya.

Naramdaman pa niya ang pag-upo nito sa tabi niya. Ilang sandali pa ay naramdaman niya na may ipinandong na naman ito sa kanya. Nang tingnan niya iyon ay nakita niya ang varsity jacket nito, dahilan upang mapatingin naman siya sa binata.

the last sky of the earth 42 - start over

"WAIT A minute! Where are we going?"

Pang-ilang ulit nang itinanong iyon ni Kourin kay Seiichi pero tila wala itong naririnig. Patuloy lang ito sa paghila sa kanya palayo sa mga kasamahan niya. Naku po! Tiyak na magwawala na naman si Amiko nito. Idagdag pa si Raiden.

Gustong pagtakhan ni Kourin ang dahilan ng lalaking ito para bigla siyang hilain paalis sa school. As far as she recalled, hindi naging maganda ang naging huling pagtatagpo nila.

Kourin ended up telling a lie that she had woven for the past two years. Iyon naman ang matagal na niyang plano. Walang dapat makaalam--lalo na si Seiichi--na buhay pa siya. Na buhay pa si Kourin Shinomiya. But that didn't exactly stop her from learning what she could about his life since she 'died'. Pero hindi kailanman sumagi sa isipan niya na magkikita sila ng lalaking ito sa ganoong sitwasyon.

Chiaki/Kotoha AU (Shinkenger): The End Of All Waiting

"This is the end of all waiting and now it's my new beginning. It's because you have loved me this way..." ㅡ Paraphrased lyrics from "Inside My Heart" by Frencheska Farr

xxxxxx

[Chiaki]

Seriously speaking, of all the craziness I could think of, why does it have to be pranking Kotoha like this? Okay, she had no idea that it was me. But actually allowing those little notes to land inside her bag every time I see her on the neighborhood through my affinity with the wood element, I was starting to think that it might have scared her.

I wasn't like this before, especially when it comes to girls. Mind you, I could really charm any girl I want. Or maybe I was the only one thinking that way.

But Kotoha was someone different. Someone I chose to risk my life with, if I had to.

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me - Chapter 7

"MUKHANG may magandang nangyari, ah."

Agad na napatigil sa pag-eensayo sa ice skating rink si Mirui at nilingon ang pinagmulan ng tinig na iyon. Nakita niya si Yunara Limietta--o Yuna sa karamihan--na palapit sa kinatatayuan niya. Ice skater din ito katulad niya at isa sa labing-dalawang miyembro ng Imperial Flowers.

Naroon sila sa ice skating rink sa loob ng isang malaking building na pag-aari ng kanyang ama na ipinatayo nito noong nililigawan pa lang nito ang Mama niya. Iyon na rin ang ginamit na training ground ng mga aspiring ice skaters, specifically figure skaters, nang magdesisyon ang Mama niya na magretiro sa pagiging figure skater at maging skating coach habang nagpapalakad sa ice skating school na iyon.

"Halata ba?" tanong niya nang tuluyan na itong makalapit.

the last sky of the earth 41 - knight's scene: portrait

Kung tutuusin, wala naman talagang dahilan si Hotaru na pagmasdan ang isa sa mga portraits na naroon sa main hall ng mansion. Kaya lang, hindi talaga siya mapakali. Kanina pa siya nakakaramdam ng 'di maipaliwanag na pag-aalala. At hindi niya alam kung para kanino iyon.

All that Hotaru did to calm herself was to look at a certain portrait. Ginawa niya iyon kahit alam niyang masasaktan siya dahil sa masasakit na mga alaalang nagsisidatingan sa kanyang isipan.

Nakarating na kay Hotaru ang balitang nasa bansa na si Seiichi Yasuhara at nagsalubong na rin ang landas nito at ni Kourin. Kung nasa normal na sitwasyon siguro ang buhay ng Shinomiya clan princess, that meeting would have been a joyous one. Pero 'pinatay' na ni Kourin ang identity nito—to be exact, her existence as a Shinomiya princess—in favor of living in another identity to protect the others who knew the fact that she was still alive.

Para sa katulad ni Kourin, sa tingin ni Hotaru ay napakabata pa nito para gawin ang desisyong iyon. Not to mention that it was also one of the most painful decisions for the young clan princess to do. Pero wala na siyang magagawa pa. It was already an irrevocable decision. Ang tanging magagawa na lang niya ay protektahan ito. She was one of the 12 Knights of the Sky, after all. It was the Knights' duty to protect the leader of the Shrouded Flowers.

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me - Chapter 6

"HANGGANG kailan mo ba ako planong kaladkarin sa kung saan, ha?"

Pero walang nakuhang anumang tugon si Mirui sa tanong niyang iyon kay Theron na hawak-hawak pa rin ang kamay niya. Kahit naman gusto niyang hilain ang kamay niya mula sa binata, nakapagtatakang tila nawalan siya ng lakas na gawin iyon. Not to mention, she actually liked the feeling of holding Theron's hand like that, as if it was the right thing to feel.

Basta ang alam niya, ang dami na niyang kakaibang nararamdaman sa simpleng pagdadaop lang ng mga palad nila. It started since the day they finally settled the issue between them. Iyon ay kung may isyu nga ba talaga silang matatawag.

Hinayaan na lang niya ito na dalhin siya sa kung saan—na naisip na niya for who knows how many times. Hindi na naman kasi siya kinikibo ng lalaking ito kapag tinatanong niya ito at mukhang wala rin talaga itong plano na kibuin siya hanggang hindi nila nararating ang lugar na pagdadalhan nito sa kanya.

Marvelous/Ahim (Gokaiger): Choosing To Be With You

I'm choosing to be with you no matter what people say and not even heaven and hell can stop me about it... ~ Florence Joyce

When Ahim chose to be a space pirate, she was well aware of the dangerous risks that goes with it. Especially since they were fighting the Zangyack who were the universe's greatest enemy at the time. Those people took a lot from her and not even the enemy's death could dissipate the pain she felt from losing them.

Over time, she was able to finally avenge her parents' deaths and the destruction of her home planet from the one who destroyed them. Thanks to her friends' helpーand most of all, Marvelous. At the time, she was determined to take on Zatsurigu all alone. But Marvelous convinced her otherwise. He reminded her of the reason why she joined the space pirates in the first place.

But that was a long time ago.

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me

"UY, MIRUI! Ang ganda ng performance mo kanina. Grabe! The best!"

Napailing na lang si Mirui sa reaction na iyon ni Miette habang tinutulungan sina Kresna, Guia, at Yuna sa pag-aayos ng mga equipment na ginamit nila para sa performance niyang iyon for the kids sa orphanage na pinuntahan nila. It was actually an orphanage na mina-manage ng president ng Alexandrite University. Kaya wala namang kaso sa kanya na isa siya sa mga nag-perform doon.

And she was glad that she did fairly well sa performance niya nang gabing iyon.

"Mukhang inaantok ka na yata, Miette. Kung ako sa iyo, umuwi ka na at nang diretso ka nang makatulog," aniya at saka ipinagpatuloy ang pagtulong sa pag-aayos.

"How can you endure doing that?"

That question brought Kourin's mind back to reality. Noon lang niya naalalang nasa rooftop nga pala siya ng department building kung saan siya nag-aaral at kasama niya si Amiko ng mga sandaling iyon. Doon nila naisipang magpunta matapos ang engkuwentrong naganap na hindi niya inasahan nang araw na iyon.

Bakit naroon si Seiichi sa Skyfield University? Ano'ng ginagawa nito roon? Idagdag pa na alam niyang muntik na itong ma-kidnap ng kung sino na napigilan lang dahil kay Miyako. Pero sa tingin niya ay walang kinalaman doon ang dahilan ng pagpunta ng binata sa university na iyon.

"At hindi ka na talaga mamamansin, ha?"

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:

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me - Chapter 4

"THIS... can't be happening," usal ni Mirui sa kabila ng shock—hindi lang gulat—na naramdaman niya nang tumambad sa kanya ang isang pamilyar na bulto kahit na nakatalikod ito pagbukas niya ng pinto papunta sa rooftop. Kung alam lang niya na ito pala ang sasalubong sa kanya, kanina pa siguro siya umalis at kinalimutan ang lahat.

But Lexus asked her a favor—which was something he rarely does. Yes, he gave orders in which most of them turned out to be petty ones dahil gusto lang nitong maglambing sa kanya. At dahil sa taglay niyang tagong kabaitan, hayun at pinagbibigyan na lang niya ito. Chika lang niya ang sinasabi niyang inis na nararamdaman kapag nag-uutos si Lexus sa kanya. Ganoon lang talaga silang dalawa from the start.

Kaya naman nang sabihin nito sa kanya na pabor ang hinihingi nito, aminado talagang natigilan siya nang maramdaman niyang seryoso si Lexus doon. All the more reason kung bakit hindi niya ito tinanggihan kahit nagtataka siya kung bakit gusto siyang ipakausap sa isang estranghero. And as it turned out, hindi pala estranghero ang nag-aabang sa kanya sa rooftop na iyon.

It was no wonder kung bakit mukhang madaling napapayag si Lexus. But why would this guy talk to her, anyway?

the last sky of the earth 39 - knight's scene: scarlet saber pt. 2

"What the--?!" Iyon lang ang tanging reaksyon ni Theia nang mapansin ang paglabas ng blade mula sa cylinder na hawak ni Nanami. This was crazy! No one in the agency had told her about Nanami possessing an improvised weapon. Pero agad din siyang napangisi sa nasaksihan. Ipinagpatuloy na lamang niya ang pagsugod sa Scarlet Saber.

Apparently, Nanami owned a cylinder built with a retractable blade for protection purposes. Puwede na rin siguro for battle purposes. And it was a good thing naisip iyon ni Tetsuya na gawin para sa kanya. Lalo na sa mga sandaling iyon.

The two female warriors clashed their swords with the intention of gaining advantage over the other. With each strike of their swords, they could feel the rage that goes with it. Patunay din iyon na walang gusting magpatalo sa kanila.

The clashing of swords continued. Pero mukhang hindi na kayang manood na lang ang iba pang tauhan ng Dark Rose. Hindi nagtagal ay napansin ni Nanami na papasugod ang tatlo sa mga iyon. Walang pasubaling inilabas niya ang isang traditional Japanese dagger called tanto (though her version was a double-edged one) sa isa pang sleeve ng suot niyang jacket at hiniwa ang leeg ng mga iyon in just one straight but fatally deep slash using it. Two more appeared and charged toward her from both Theia's sides. Kasabay rin niyon ang pagsugod ni Theia sa kanya. Inihanda na lang niya ang sarili sa pagsugod ng mga ito.

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.

Mirui's Hyacinth: Smile At Me - Chapter 3

"SERIOUSLY speaking, ano ba'ng meron sa akin at wala yatang sandali na iniiwasan mo ako, ha?" lakas-loob na bungad ni Mirui nang marating na nila ni Theron ang rooftop dahil sa pagsunod na ginawa niya rito.

Pambihira! Ganoon talaga kabilis maglakad ang ugok na ito? Hayun nga at humahangos lang naman siya nang marating niya ang rooftop. At naturingan pa siyang nag-e-exercise sa lagay na iyan dahil na rin sa training niya sa ice skating.

"Bakit mo ako sinundan dito?" walang emosyong tanong ni Theron sa kanya na lalo lang nagpalala sa inis na nararamdaman niya.

Hanggang kailan ba niya mararanasan ang ganitong treatment mula sa lalaking ito?

the last sky of the earth 38 - knight's scene: scarlet saber pt. 1

ISANG MALALIM na buntong-hininga na lang ang iginawad ni Nanami Miyuzaki sa napansing eksena sa pagitan nina Kourin at Seiichi. But seriously, who would've thought that the guy came back from New Zealand after how many years? Yes, kilala niya kung sino ang lalaking iyon. But she only saw him at the Shinomiya mansion nang mga panahong bumibisita ito roon sa imbitasyon na rin ni Hitoshi Shinomiya.

Until now, Nanami couldn't believe how friendly the young clan prince was. Kapag naaalala niya si Hitoshi, napapailing na lang siya. She was doing it out of amusement and-dare she say it-pity. But the latter reason was one that had something to do with his tragic fate. He would've been a great lord of the Shinomiya clan and an amazing leader of the Shrouded Flowers.

Pero wala nang rason pa si Nanami na patuloy na isipin iyon. At that moment, her imminent priority would be the princess' safety. Hindi man siya ang itinalagang shadow guardian nito, she regarded her job as one of the 12 Knights of the Sky too well.

"Sino na naman ang pinapanood mo riyan?"

Yamato/Sela (Zyuohger): Start Over Just Once More

"I really wish I could take back everything and start over just once more..." ~Just Lose It (Hurts So Much), Pets Tseng

xxxxxx

Staring out of the window wouldn't help, but it had been Sela's habit for quite some time now. It was raining at the moment and the droplets seemed louder than ever as each of it fell to the roof and to the dry ground. Yes, she knew that doing this would never help her at all.

But it was just her way of reminiscing things. Of recalling moments that should've made her life a little meaningful than before.

And yet...

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:
