journal entry #136

• I have a bad feeling that I'm going down with colds. I just hope not. I mean, I don't want to deal with this on New Year, you know.
• I've been watching more reaction videos about SB19. I mean, seriously? What's going on with me? But then again, I guess I came to love this group's songs. At least, some of them.
• Got to continue reading "Mister Monday" somehow. I'm not sure if I'm going to finish reading this by the end of the year, though.
• Speaking of books, I got to buy 2 a while back at Booksale. And I only got to know something today. One of the movies I love titled "Chocolat"... I never thought it was actually based on a book. Seriously, I didn't know that at all. So yeah, one of the two books I bought for this week is "Chocolat". The other one is titled "The Osiris Ritual".
• I'm actually planning to do that book reading challenge that I saw in IG. Since it involved physical copies of books, I think I could do it. I still haven't read the full details about it. Maybe later. I just hope it would help me get back to reading more books.
• My head and muscles are aching right now. But I can't just sleep yet because I still have a task to do since it's Sunday. I just hope that water delivery won't fail me this time, even though I know it's going to come late.

Yup. I think this ends my entry in the journal for tonight. Let's see if it will actually come. Anyway, good night. 😊❤️

おやすみなさい。

Contemplations Not Written On Journal # 3

I haven't written anything here in a while. But since I didn't write anything on my journal tonight, either, I might as well do it here. Nothing much has happened, though. I still have to deal with so many things. A few of them, namely:

❇️Cold weather
❇️Toothache (or better call it gumache)
❇️Headache
❇️Impatience
❇️Boredom
❇️Fear of a lot of things

Weird, huh? But it's a good thing that I could be distracted from all of these by simple things. At this point, I ended up enjoying to watch reaction videos of a few foreign channels with regards to P-Pop boy group SB19. I have to admit, I came to love some of their songs. But I actually find it hilarious to watch other people react to this group. At least, they don't just settle to reacting entirely to K-Pop.

Right now, I'm dealing with runny nose and headache because of (obviously) a common colds that I have contracted already. I could only hope that it won't get worse when New Year arrives. I don't want to end up getting sick on that festive event.

By the way, a while back, I was thinking of rewriting the "Eight Thorned Blades" entirely. Like start everything from scratch. Literally. Of course, the original concept will remain. But instead of multiple POVs placed together, I'll possibly focus on one to two. It still depends. It will start with Kourin's (the surviving princess of the Shinomiya clan), then the other clan princesses will follow. I'm still debating on this one, to be honest. I have no idea on how will I implement this, or if I will actually do it.

Anyway, I'm still thinking about it. I also need to read more materials so I could actually continue the story. I could seriously feel that my writing juice is depleting at a steady rate. It's still alaraming for me, in case you don't know.

So I guess that's it for my rant that I couldn't write on my journal for now. I have to sleep already, in hopes of dissipating this headache that's been going on since this afternoon. I really don't want to rely on more medicine because of this.

In any case, good night.

おやすみなさい。。。

잘자요...

journal entry #134

I didn't get to write anything last night for two reasons:

1. My left side was unbearably painful, for some reason. Not the appendix, that's for sure. But I actually woke up early in the morning with that side aching. It's as if something was twisting it or gripping it. At least, that's how I'd describe it.
2. I was waiting for water to arrive — which didn't, in the end. I slept at almost 3 in the morning just waiting for it. Nothing. Because of that, we had someone from the water delivery deliver 10 drums of water.

So as you can see, it was also the same reason (at least the 1st one) why I deemed my day yesterday as boring. Well, I actually had to sleep through the pain, hoping that it will disappear. In a way, it helped.

As for today, I don't know why I'm still debating as to whether or not I should write something to continue those stories. In the end, I didn't get to write anything.

I reset my game in A3! again. I mean, seriously! How many times do I have to do that? Maybe if I didn't reset it (like, ever), I would've already reached Rank 100 or more than that. But then again, that's how fickle my mind could be. And I had a feeling that it's going to be a bad thing.

That's it for now, I guess. Good night. 😊❤️

おやすみなさい。

the last sky of the earth 96 - confrontation

HINDI matigil si Kourin sa pagdarasal na sana ay maabutan pa nilang buhay si Mamoru. Bagaman iyon ang pilit na sinasabi sa kanya ni Tetsuya, bakas din sa mukha ng kaibigan ang pag-aalala nito para sa Yumemiya clan leader.

Kahit sabihin pang nasa isang liblib na lugar sa mga sandaling iyon si Mamoru, hindi pa rin garantiya iyon para masabing ligtas ito. Lalo na't nabanggit din sa kanya ni Tetsuya na may sumusunod dito noong nagtungo ito sa Lorlea Valley para mag-imbestiga ng anumang may kinalaman sa Ethereal Sky.

Kasama nina Kourin at Tetsuya sina Amiko, Ryuuji, ang kababalik lang na si Shuichi at pati na rin sina Daryll at Shingo. Sasama pa nga dapat sina Chrono, Miyako, Takeru, at Akemi subalit may iba pang kailangang asikasuhin ang mga ito, sa utos na rin ng 13th Knight at maging ng dalawa pang clan leaders sa Shrouded Flowers. Kaya naman ipinaubaya na lang ni Miyako at maging ni Chrono sa kanila ang pagtulong kay Mamoru.

Subalit kasabay ng pagdarasal na ginagawa ni Kourin para sa isa pang kapatid at guro, paulit-ulit ding umaalingawngaw sa kanyang isipan ang isa pang binanggit ni Tetsuya. Ang dahilan kung bakit inatake ni Cronus si Mamoru sa Kusanagi Shrine.

Tahara Iena Character Introduction

Osaki Ichika as Tahara Iena

Age: 21

::A long time fan of Yuka's works and Naosuke's bubbly younger sister. She lived with her grandmother when Naosuke graduated and found work outside of Yakuramoto. In spite of the distance, she never let it sever her relationship with her brother. She had been there for Naosuke to take care of him when he suffered an accident that almost killed him and wrecked his body. On the outside, she was a bubbly girl. But deep inside, she kept a certain fear in her heart that even her brother doesn't know. That fear had kept her from acknowledging someone's sincere intentions to be with her in spite of it all.

Tahara Naosuke Character Introduction

Kishida Tatsuya as Tahara Naosuke

Age: 27

::Yohei's cousin who had always supported his endevour both in acting and voice acting. He was Iena's strict but still, a loving older brother. He, too, once aspired to become an actor, which was why he and Yohei would audition together. But because of an accident that nearly severed his spine several years ago and almost limiting his mobility, he gave up on that dream. He returned to Yakuramoto a few months before Yohei did to fulfill a long time promise to his deceased father. He wasn't aware, however, that doing so would lead him to discover something else that his life might have needed all this time.

Contemplations Not Written On Journal # 2

I couldn't think of anything to write on my journal tonight. So I'm doing it here. However, I have a feeling that I'm only going to do a short version of this.

I still have no idea what to write here, to be honest. It's already getting late and not to mention, I'm getting sleepy. Maybe the cold December weather triggers it. At the moment, I have no idea.

Well, today, I've written down the episode list of Detective Conan with the intention of rewatching it and maybe, write at least a short thought about each episodes. I kind of need to refresh my mind about the series before I actually need to continue writing the third book of the Prince of Tennis/Detective Conan crossover fanfiction series "Detective Tennis".

In any case, I still need the inspiration, so rewatching this was like a refresher for me. It's been a long while since I last watched this series anyway.

Asakura Mirae Character Introduction

Iitoyo Marie as Asakura Mirae

Age: 23

::Yuka's elementary classmate and best friend who had lived in the town of Yakuramoto all her life. At times, she would leave the town for the sole reason of visiting Yuka in the city where the writer resided. Though appearing to be a reserved girl in front of almost everyone, she was a bubbly girl around her family and Yuka. Her switching personality around people eventually caught the attention of the man whom she once harbored secret feelings in the past.

Kawazumi Harukaze Character Introduction

Ichimichi Mao/M.A.O as Kawazumi Harukaze

Age: 27

::Yohei and Kojuro's stepsister who was chosen to manage the affairs of Kawamori Enterprises in favor of allowing her stepbrothers to fulfill their own dreams. Not once has she considered her stepbrothers as nuisance in her life and was very caring towards them. She was the first to become aware of the secret that Yohei was keeping to himself all this time, and it made her even more protective to her youngest stepbrother.

Fujieda Kojuro Character Introduction

Ryusei Ryo as Fujieda Kojuro

Age: 26

::Yohei's paternal half-brother and a well-known painter. He decided to move and live in Yakuramoto after declaring to his family about his plans to pursue his painting career over managing their family business. As much as he could, he wanted to look after Yohei, especially when he realized the real reason why his brother decided to take a leave from his work.

journal entry #128

The start of a new week and also the start of the Misa de Gallo here. Aside from that, it's also my first sister's 27th birthday today. But because of the fatigue from the trip and sleeping later because of another late water delivery, I didn't get to attend the morning mass which usually starts at 4 AM. It was also one reason why I didn't get to write anything in my journal yesterday. As much as I want to write something in the journal, I was tired and sleepy to do that.

So after that trip, it was back to normal. I should've expected that. But hey, my body doesn't usually get this excited when it comes to traveling to other places outside Baguio. And it also doesn't move on easily after the trip. It was kind of hard to force myself to move on, though. And yet, I had to do it. I got no other choice.

I'm trying my best to update my SNS accounts after those two days. I also tried to keep up with playing the event game in A3! Though it already ended, I still got my ranking prices. My rank dropped drastically during those two days, though. I was disappointed because of that. But for now, the only thing I can do is earn more gems in preparation for the next event. At least, I'll try to.

Good night. 😊❤️

Kawamori Yohei Character Introduction

KAWAMORI YOHEI (Nakao Masaki)

Age: 26

::At the prime of his life with his fame as a voice actor and a renowned actor, as well, it seemed that he already possessed everything. But in reality, the world itself was suffocating him in more ways than one. And so he asked his agency to let him have a short break just to get his groove back. But the peace and quiet vacation he wanted to happen had only became a way for his path to cross with that of someone unexpected... and it happened in a really unusual--but definitely life-changing--way.

journal entry #127

Excitement could be my reason why I forgot to write anything there yesterday. For what, you might ask? For this — the beach outing that my first sister has planned as a treat to herself and as a celebration (an early one) for her birthday on December 16. Yes, her birthday is also the start of the Misa de Gallo (simbang gabi) here. I don't know if I'd be able to attend the 9 morning mass, though. I really want to. But the schedule of the water delivery on Sunday is getting later than usual, to the point of not getting the necessary sleep hours.

So, yeah. Tomight, I'm writing this entry on another location. At this point, we're at the Aloha Beach Resort and it's hot. If it's cold in Baguio, it was the opposite here. And that really gave me quite a headache, even though I enjoyed playing in the sea water waves. I actually prefer sea water than pool water ever since I started playing in the waves.

From what I can see, this entry is going to be short, now that this headache is not helping me concentrate at all. So I guess I'd say good night here. Hopefully, I'd have a picture of the sunrise by the beach tomorrow.

おやすみなさい。

Kakota Yuka Character Introduction

KAKOTA YUKA (Okubo Sakurako)

Age: 23

::An aspiring writer since high school, she took a vacation from her job at a convenience store in order to travel amd find the writing muse that she thought she had lost. The writer's block that she was going through was really frustrating her and so she took a step to finally end it. But then, she didn't realize that the short travel she took would be more than enough to change her life once she crossed paths with someone she never dreamed of meeting at all.

journal entry #126

It's only the second entry and I had a feeling that this is going to be a bit long. Or not. Well, there was an issue on one of the group chats where I was a part of. As much as I want to write it down here, I had this thought that this is going to be a waste of space. Sorry for putting it that way here, even though the issue has something to do with writing.

Because of this, I couldn't help missing those days where writing wasn't as toxic as it was now. To be specific, my FFN days. That was a long time ago, though. I was still in college back then. I wanted to write stories the way I did during those times. I might be stating things here as if I'm getting old. But 28 is already an adult age. My mind, however, isn't exactly functioning and thinking as a 28-year-old woman should be. I had this feeling that my life stopped functioning properly since my last job where I was fired. Or maybe it stopped before then.

Honestly, I don't know anymore.

Anyway, we're all still preparing, little by little, the things we are all going to bring for our beach outing this weekend. But I realized that during those two days, I won't be able to play A3! I think I could use that time to have fun at the beach or read something on a new environment or possibly even write something.

We'll still see.

Okay. I guess this ends my entry for tonight. It's time to get to the bed and sleep early. At least, I'll try.

Good night. 😊❤️

おやすみなさい。

journal entry #125

It's a brand new entry on that journal!

And yes, I should be celebrating and hoping that I'd be able to actually fill that notebook with more (hopefully) interesting stories of my life. I'm not exactly sure that kind of stories will fill that one. But I hope none of them will have something disastrous or even heartbreaking.

The weather had just turned cold, so at the moment, I'm having a little bit of a hard time writing here. But I'm still trying since this is my first time entry there. I'm supposed to be sleeping already since it's late. But just as I always write on my first completely filled up journal, Wednesday night is a task night for me. Hopefully, I won't end up sleeping really late, unlike what happened last Sunday.

I wish I could write about what I dreamed this morning when I woke up. But if I'm going to be honest, I couldn't remember the details now. The only thing that was clear about it was the place — and it was at the airport. Weird, huh? You know, I really should have a notebook dedicated to the dreams I had and write them down as soon as I wake up. Which means, that notebook should be beside me or at least near me when that happens.

Okay. Now I think I ran out of anything to say for today. I mean, anything to write. Not say. I really hope that my task about that late water delivery will end soon so I could finally sleep.

And now, it's time to say good night. 😊❤️

おやすみなさい。

So since I started reviving this story, then I might as well do a proper introduction to it, right? For now, I'll just put up the story description. On the next post will be the character profiles.

.

.

.

<<Inspired by the Christmas love song "A Perfect Christmas" and the movies "Love Actually" and "It All Began When I Met You".>>

.

.

STORY DESCRIPTION:

.

All Kakota Yuka (Okubo Sakurako) wants is to go to a place that will provide her the inspiration she needs to continue her life and her writings. But upon arriving there, she's not expecting to cross paths with the most persistent guy in the world--at least he's persistent for her taste.

.

Meeting Kawamori Yohei (Nakao Masaki) and getting closer to him isn't in any of her plans, especially after finding out that the guy wasn't just a charming cutie she just stumbled upon. But soon after, she realizes that maybe he can really help her. After all, she did come to that place to find inspiration. But not without even knowing that the inspiration she finds in him makes her somehow wish that he can provide her one of the greatest gift and miracle the Christmas season could ever offer to her.

.

To finally find the man destined for her to love.

.

Question is... Will he be the guy for that?

journal entry #123

I'm still up because of that task once again. Anyway, I guess I still have to stay up later than usual again since it hasn't arrived yet. Before writing here, I was busy tearing up papers again to add to those teared scrap papers that I could use, as a writing resource.

By the way, should I start with the countdown tonight? This coming weekend, we'll be going to La Union since my sister — who will be a birthday celebrant this coming December 16 — wanted to go to the beach. This was something that she (and I think her boyfriend) had planned as a way to celebrate her birthday early. Possibly a treat to herself, as well.

I finally got to complete one of the pocketbook series that I've been collecting. To my confusion, it was thicker than the other books in the series. But then again, it's not like I could do something about it. It's already published. And that brought me back to thinking about my second approved manuscript. I still wonder when will they even publish it. Yes, I know I already accepted the payment for that a long time ago. But I still want to know if I'll ever see it in print at all. Or am I already wishing for something impossible?

I'm trying to keep up with playing the event game in A3! True, I already spent a lot of gems in that game. But I have to admit, it was fun. I'm not sure if I'll reach the ranking, though. The competition's tough. But I'm trying. At the moment, my current goal is to get that one SSR card featuring Masumi. I still have to earn 200,000 points more, though. In the next event story, I really hope I earned enough (or more than enough) gems to get the cards I needed.

So that's it for today, I guess. Time to continue tearing up those papers as I waited for my task to finish — hopefully earlier than the last time.

Good night. 😊❤️ おやすみなさい。。。

Fate Strikers

«They live in a deadly world where they knew in their hearts that a warrior's duty to their clan rises above all else.

.

Twelve men who remain steadfast in protecting the people they care about...

.

Twelve warriors who will stop at nothing to defend their respective clan's honor, their leaders, and eventually, their hearts...

.

But can they really defend their hearts when love finally strikes hard in the midst of another fated war?»

.

It's not that I don't have anything else to post (or maybe it's really like that). But I just thought I'd put this here to remind me that I should really start writing this. Anyway, we'll see. 😁✌️😁✌️

【poem】Here's To The Blue

Here's to the blue moments you never saw

as you never witnessed my falling tears

the day you decided to walk away.

Here's to the blue color that was once my favorite

and enough to make me smile somehow,

even though it doesn't do the same thing anymore.

Here's to the blue pen that once inspired me.

The colored pen that was said to trigger inspiration

and could make me cry now as memories flooded me.

Here's to the blue ink that would always stain

my beloved notebook and even my shirt

and would forever remind me of how you are in my life.

Here's to the blue sky that starts a new day

as the sun shines bright on a brand new me

and I began stepping out to face a life without you.

Even though life and the color that you love

would never bring you back to me at all,

I will stand firm, in one way or another.

The love we once knew would give us a new life

where we don't have to be reminded of things

that once made us regretful and forever blue...

【poem】Some Thoughts

I know you'll never wonder

about the life I have to ponder.

Maybe you'll never care at all

about the time I took the fall.

So here are the words I wrote,

back when I still love your quotes.

Even though your words linger on

as soon as I'm done crying a ton.

I'll forget you and let it all go

no matter how much I'll miss you so.

What's this for? I have no idea. I just ended up creating these. 😁😁 Just kidding. This is actually for another series that I want to write (a fantasy-romance), though I'm not sure if I'd be able to since there are other pending stories that needed my attention. So I'll just leave it like this for now.

.

What I just did here was to feature the original 12 EXO members and pair them up with the ladies from various Tokusatsu shows I've watched, namely:

💠Uchida Rio (Kamen Rider Drive)

💠Kojima Riria (Ressha Sentai ToQger)

💠Yamamoto Chihiro (Ultraman Geed)

💠Yamaya Kasumi and Yano Yuuka (Shuriken Sentai Ninninger)

💠Ichimichi Mao/M.A.O. (Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger)

💠Nagisa Yuzuki (Kaito Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger)

💠Takada Kaho (Kamen Rider Build)

💠Iitoyo Marie (Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger)

💠Konno Ayaka (Kamen Rider Zi-O)

💠Okubo Sakurako (Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger)

💠Tateishi Haruka (Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger)

.

I have no idea what prompted me to do this, to be honest. Which was crazy. Or maybe I do know the reason why I created this. I just don't know when to use it... at least for now.

.

But then again, I'm a kind of writer who always comes up with some of the most unusual AU/crossover pairings in my writings. I'm just putting an emphasis to that. 😁✌️😁✌️

journal entry #119

So I've skipped writing here for another two days and I even missed writing on the first day of December. Yes, it's the last month of the year. I can't believe the year had passed with only little progress in my life. I'm not sure if I should even complain or not. But then again, I guess a part of that small progress was my fault. Or should I say, my mindset's fault.

I didn't get to write this yesterday, but my father actually gave me and my sisters ₱1,300 worth of gift card/gift pass that his boss gave to him. It was the first time I've even had one of those and I don't know what to think at first. But I got to try buying something using that. So I guess it was legit. Sorry. I had to admit that part.

Anyway, I was thinking of buying some more with what's left of my gift cards tomorrow. I still have to think of what to buy, though. So for now, it's time to say good night. 😊❤️

おやすみなさい。。。
