【personal thoughts】The Sunday Currently | 28 |

July of 2019? Are you freaking kidding me? That was the last time I've written a Sunday Currently entry? Just what the heck happened to the rest of 2019 and the entire 2020 for me not to be able to post any more of this? I mean, seriously. Anyway, even I was surprised to know that. I can't believe I haven't posted anymore Sunday Currently entry in so long. So let's do it again, shall we? I want to make up for the long time that I haven't updated my Sunday Currently entries.

Shall we start?

So this Sunday, I'm currently...

Same Fear 8 - As I'm With You

One battle was over, and another sector was liberated, thanks to the Kyurangers. But it appeared that their ordeal wasn't over, as they'd hoped it to be. There was still that issue between Stinger and Hammie that they wanted to settle.

The only problem was -- they didn't know what the issue was and the rest were still clueless as to what really happened between those two. But at this point, they were glad that the atmosphere surrounding the pair wasn't as tensed as it was days ago. There was the air of awkwardness, but was bearable enough.

As for that awkward air, it already started hovering around Stinger and Hammie as soon as their battle with the Daikan was over. As it was just the two of them who dealt with the enemy, the tension of the battle somehow muffled whatever unnecessary feelings lingering in their hearts at that moment. Besides, they made a promise not to lose each other whatever battle would come at them.

But it appeared that the emotions surging as soon as those words were spoken had created that awkward air. And now, they had no idea on how to deal with it.

Same Fear 7 - I'll Just Believe

It could have been a usual ordinary day for the Kyurangers, if one would include the battles and liberation business they intended to finish in order to save Earth from the Jark Matter. Though it was still a long way to go, they knew they were progressing.

That is, if all of them could finally communicate to each other without feeling the strained atmosphere coming from two of their teammates.

But even with that initial thought, something was different once again. This time, there was a determined aura of some sort surrounding both Stinger and Hammie. It was still a change, but it felt off, for some reason. At some point, they could feel that something was bound to happen. Only they still couldn't figure out what.

As soon as Hammie stepped inside her Chameleon Voyager and sat on the chair, she took a deep breath and put her clenched fist to her chest, near her heart. There was no reason for her to be nervous, she kept on telling that to herself. But she knew she would be lying if she actually said that. She knew perfectly well why she was feeling this way.

【Book Comment】"Maria's Diary" by Maureen Stewart

Okay. Now I have to say that this was an overdue book comment/review as I've already finished reading this around the end of March or the start of April. Wait. I still have to recall the exact date. But there's one thing I recall clearly about this book after reading this.

I was annoyed and irritated about Maria. Or Lavender, as she'd like to call herself. Haha! And that feeling actually goes both ways -- good and bad. Annoyed in a good way because of her tactless attitude, if I interpreted it right. Irritated in a good way because even with that attitude, I'd like to call her bold and fearless when it comes to her opinion -- whether or not they were verbally expressed or just her diary knowing the truth about them.

Open/read when: You're missing me a lot

Dear Sunrise,

This could be a maybe, though. I mean, we still haven't met until now. But I'm pretty sure, the yearning is there. It's strong and definitely getting stronger as time passes by that we still haven't crossed paths. It could really drive us crazy, don't you think? I miss you even without knowing you yet. And you're the same, regardless of the life that you have now and the presence of the people surrounding you.

It's too much to bear, but please don't despair. As we know, it's part of a test. A part of endurance and patience until the day that we'd finally meet will come. You miss me, but it won't be long. Or at least, let's do our best to make it seem that it won't be long now. We'll get to smile at each other one day and laugh without a care in the world. Let's believe in the works of the heavens that it's not going to take us that long to wait and miss each other's presence that we both longed to feel all this time.

Let's smile at the world, even if the yearning is too strong for us to bear. Let's have faith, even if the circumstances are enough to make us lose hope. Let's love each other, even if we still don't know each other at the moment and we could still be far away from each other.

I miss you and you could also be missing me. But one day, we'll be together finally.

Missing you a lot,
Florence Joyce

Same Fear 6 - You're Still Here

Three more days had passed. Nothing changed about the situation between Stinger and Hammie. The tension didn't become intense as it was when it started, but a barrier could be felt between the two. It was as if they were both discarding each other's existence, at least for a short while when they were together in one room.

Namely, Orion's bridge.

Same Fear 5 - Without Any Words

The interaction that happened between Hammie and Stinger after dealing with the Jark Matter's minions didn't exactly go unnoticed to the rest of the group. In fact, even they sensed that it wasn't just Hammie who was acting weird for a long time. Well, not that long ー but you still get the point.

In any case, that last interaction between the two aforementioned Kyurangers somewhat created a tension within the Orion that the rest didn't know how to handle it. And to think they still had a lot of battles to go on to. So many areas on Earth to liberate to. But how would any of them be able to do that if their teammates won't even talk ー let alone spare a glance ー to each other?

Describe a childhood nightmare you can't forget.

There's not much to describe, to be honest, as I don't recall much of my dreams, let alone my nightmares when I was a child. But I do recall falling a lot in my dreams, causing me to (possibly) experience astral projection at some point and sleep paralysis, as well.

The one nightmare that scared me the most when I was a kid that gave me sleep paralysis was about the dark area that I was in and I don't know where to go. I had the urge to run, but I couldn't. I knew it was a dream, but I couldn't get out of it. It just froze me and I had the hard time to breathe. Until now, anything that would make me experience sleep paralysis still gave me the chills and that slight fear.
