i'll hold on to you 94 - mulling over

[Relaina]

Hindi ko naman talaga ugali ang magmuni-muni nang ganito katagal pagdating sa ibang bagay, sa totoo lang. Pero wala na talaga akong ibang pagpipilian kundi ang lumayo muna sa ibang tao at mag-isip-isip. Hindi ko na nga alam kung paano pa ako naka-survive ng isa pang linggo na hindi nasisiraan ng bait, eh.

At least, the school week went well. Hindi ko na nga masyadong pinagtuunan ng pansin ang nangyari noong unang araw ng pasukan, eh. No thanks to that Marjie. Thank goodness na hindi na ako tinangkang guluhin ng bruhang babaeng iyon.

Oo na. Manlalait na ako rito. Tutal, hindi naman ako maririnig n’on. She nearly made my first day worse. Kung hindi dahil kay Brent at kay Ate Katrina, baka hindi na ako nakapagpigil at binasag ko na ang mukha ng sira-ulong babaeng iyon. Mabuti na lang talaga at may dumating na milagrong nagpigil sa akin na maging bayolente.

Linggo ng araw na iyon. Wala naman akong mga assignment na kailangang asikasuhin pa dahil nagawa ko namang tapusin iyon kagabi. Sinadya ko talagang gawing libre ang araw na iyon para makapag-isip. I didn’t care if I had to do it all day.

Lives Beyond Those Eyes 23 - To Help You

Sari covered her face with her palms as she exhaled. She was at the park that morning and had just finished her morning run. But it seemed that even jogging wasn't enough to clear her mind from all the thoughts that bothered her over the past few days.

And now the photos that Professor Geunhee gave her the other day began occupying her mind, as well. She hadn't talked to anyone about what she had just seen that day. She felt that, at the moment, she didn't have the need to tell them anything. Not when everything was beginning to get confusing for her.

"You're out here again."

She raised her head to the source of that voice, only to be surprised to see Professor Soohoon approaching her. He seemed to be doing his own morning run, as well.

i'll hold on to you 93 - don't give up on her

[Brent]

Okay. Here was my question. Did I go too far when I said that to her? Alam kong hindi ko dapat kinukuwestiyon ang mga nasabi ko na kay Relaina dahil kahit saan man tingnan, totoo ang mga sinabi ko rito.

Gagawin ko ang lahat para patunayan sa amasonang babaeng iyon na hindi ako nagbibiro sa mga nasabi ko na rito tungkol sa nararamdaman ko. Oo, maituturing pa ring biglaan iyon kahit sabihin pang matagal na rin kaming malapit ni Relaina. Pero napilitan akong sabihin ang mga iyon, eh.

And to think I ended up saying those feelings of mine para lang tigilan na ng sira-ulong Marjie na iyon si Relaina. Kung bakit ba naman kasi ako lapitin ng mga baliw at sira-ulong mga babae. At this point, naiisip kong may kahalong sumpa yata ang charm ng mga Rialande na namana ko sa mga ito.

‘Oy, Mr. Brent Allen Montreal. Dahan-dahan lang sa pagiging hambog. Kaya ka nasusuntok ni Relaina dahil sa hangin ng utak mo, eh,’ banat ng isang bahagi ng isip ko na ikinatawa ko na lang.

Lives Beyond Those Eyes 22 - Similarities

When Sari decided to go to Detective Seo to ask for his help and also his opinion about the pictures she unexpectedly found a few days after the confrontation she had with Professor Park and the three girls, she never thought she'd discover something unexpected.

Her father had long been aware of Professor Soohoon's past life. She didn't know how he realized that, but it seemed that he mentioned about her finding Kang Chulsoo. That man was Professor Soohoon and Professor Geunhee's father.

And to think that man — the person jokingly referred to by her friends as old man Kang — was the one who helped him with the issue about Professor Park and created that engagement lie just so she would use that as an excuse to see Professor Soohoon more often.

True, she hadn't intended to prolong the meeting and extend it to more than just acquaintances. But fate seemed to have other plans for her and the young professor.

i'll hold on to you 92 - staying consistent

[Relaina]

I’d really like to think that this guy was spouting nonsense again. Pero hindi iyon ang nakikita ko sa mga kilos ni Brent ng mga sandaling iyon. Hindi rin iyon ang nakikita ko sa mga mata nito. I knew this guy when he was serious.

At ng mga sandaling iyon, iba ang kaseryosohang nakita ko rito.

“So ang gusto mong sabihin sa akin ngayon, kay Relaina mo lang sinabi ang mga salitang iyon, ha?” naghihinakit na tanong ni Marjie.

Kung hindi pa ito nagsalita ay hindi pa magbabalik sa realidad ang isip ko.

Lives Beyond Those Eyes 21 - Notes On The Photos

Sari’s mind was still running about even as she had a good night's sleep and was able to finish taking notes with regards to her job and other things related to her father. However, what she found the other night was stirring her mind with thoughts and speculations.

'How did Dad come in possession of those pictures, anyway?' Then again, it was something she could only ask herself as the person who should be giving her those answers wasn't here at all.

And so she went to the only place who might have the answer to some of her questions. To the precinct where the only officer she knew was stationed.

Detective Seo Jinho — Sejin’s fiance.

Aruto (KR Zero-One)/Asuna (Ryusoulger): While Waiting For The Fireworks

 

My heart still yearns to have a glimpse of you... ~ Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

The fireworks display was supposed to happen on that day. Asuna had been waiting for it for days. Well, she had reasons. Unfortunately, those reasons remained unsaid even as her friends kept pressuring her to blurt it out.

She sighed and looked at the sky. The colors were vibrant and the air smelled sweet with a few hints of burning wood and oil. As always, the atmosphere was filled with an excitement. There seemed to be no end to it -- nothing that couldn't be achieved through fire.

But the sigh she released actually meant something different. One that concealed the longing she felt ever since leaving the place that changed her life before. It was a secret that she never ever mentioned to her friends, and it was something she could never tell.

A Home In You Pt. 2

Standard disclaimer applies. Enjoy reading!

-x-x-

He was planning to make love to her on the wall of that small space. And he didn't mind. Not that he cared as this was the first time after a long while since they last made love that he was planning on taking her like this again.

"You really miss me, huh? You miss being inside of me..." she teased as she enjoyed his deep kisses on her. He nodded slightly and pulled back from their kiss.

Towa (Ryusoulger)/Hammie (Kyuranger): Back To That Day

 


I really want to go back to that day. I really want to meet you once again... ~ From the Japanese song "Yozora (Night Sky)" by miwa ft. Hazzie

xxxxxx

When one would look up to the sky, a lot of things would often run in their minds. They could be good things, happy things, sometimes bad things, sad things... Not many people would easily put a stop to those thoughts, especially if they lingered in their minds long enough that it carved itself a place there to live into.

But for Towa, the sky held the memories of the girl he didn't even expect to meet in one of his travels. Then again, it was unlike him to meet a lot of them anywhere as he was dedicated to his duties as a Ryusoulger. As a Knight.

But the world sure held a lot of surprises that even he couldn't fathom despite living so long. A lot of them had given him happy memories to remember, even with that girl was nowhere to be seen now.

i'll hold on to you 91 - first day of school... again

[Relaina]

“Sigurado ka bang okay ka na? Wala ka na bang nakalimutan?”

Kulang na lang talaga ay bumuga na ako ng pagkalakas-lakas na hangin dahil sa kakulitan lang naman ng lalaking nasa tabi ko ng mga sandaling iyon.

It was finally the first day of school for that semester. It was supposed to be my second year now. Pero dahil nga nagpalit ako ng kurso, irregular 1st year college student na ako. May mga ilang subjects kasi akong kinuha last year na sakop ng kursong kinukuha ko ngayon. Kaya sa ngayon, karamihan ng mga subjects ko ay maikokonsidera ko nang major subjects. Hindi na muna ako kumuha ng minor subjects dahil ayokong bigyan ng pressure ang sarili ko.

Mabuti na lang talaga at wala nang problema sa katawan ko pagkatapos ng lahat ng mga nangyari. At sa mga sandaling ito, wala na akong magiging problema sa pagpasok sa university.

đź”…REPOSTEDđź”…

This is how I illustrated Miyuzaki Kana several years back from the Prince of Tennis (Oishi/OC focused) fanfic I wrote titled "Promised Love In Autumn". This was the third of the season-inspired romance fanfiction series "Seasons of Chances and Love". Yes, this character was the basis of another TLSOTE character with the same name. In the story, Kana has always been known as Oishi's childhood friend. But deep inside for a long time, she couldn't help wishing for something much more between them.

Best friends in your WIP


This may be late, but I'll do my best to catch up. This aesthetic is about the childhood friends Hoshiyama Erika and Tennouji Helen of Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger. Yes, it was later learned that both actually hold the power to manipulate light. And it was one reason why they become even closer as friends and comrades and bonded even stronger than how they were when they first met in their childhood.
