just my own small plan for now

...and this is something I thought about after a few days of mulling upon finding that out. Still pissed off about what happened, I'm not gonna lie.

This maybe just my own childish move about what happened with her. But... yeah. I don't really think I can continue watching that show after what they did to her. It may not bring so much effect to the show, I guess. The Japanese doesn't give a shit or a care about her or any other people doing the same thing I did, anyway. At least, that's what it looks like at the moment. They like to maintain a good image at the expense of other people they deemed useless.

With that, this might be something I'd call an irony, but I think I should just focus on finishing that Sentai story I'm still writing for about 5 or 6 years already. Of course, I could be wrong about the length of time that I've been writing this particular series. It could be longer or shorter. This might soothe that anger that still lingers in me for what they did.

I still love Sentai, without a doubt. A lot of the Japanese actors I ended up admiring started there. But I guess things even before that termination had already soured that love in some ways.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 36


Well, that was a good end to that two parter episode. I mean, at least Genji found some resolution to his own wish, with Kinjiro/Joji as his compass to reach his own wish, I think. Of course, that's just my own interpretation of it. I could be wrong, of course. They cared for each other, even when they view each other as rivals for a long time. But I think that rivalry was more one-sided than anything, with this one leaning on Genji. It really is rare to find old characters playing/acting as rangers, though, and not just mentors or parental fugures or something similar. So this was something refreshing for me to watch.

So the next episode was focused on Kumade, huh? And also a new Bridan character. According to what I've read, this is Bouquet's sister. But I couldn't help wondering why she suddenly appeared, though.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 35


A little late in posting this, only because I actually focused on watching paranormal shows these past few days. So we got another two-parter episode featuring a new ring warrior. Then again, it was always like that, right? As for this episode, I think we're already at the part where the members were rethinking about their initial wish when they decided to become Ring Warriors. At least, that's the implication of what Kinjiro was thinking at the end of the episode. I mean, that's what happened at the start of the episode with regard to Sumino's wish. Yes, she finally found her sister. But because the Shinkenger ring doesn't work now (as I already expected last episode), her goal shifted to that of finding a way to wake Oto up from her slumber. But why the rival, though? Why him? Just because both had wished for eternal youth?

I'm not really good at analyzing things like this for a show. Or maybe my attention and concentration span wasn't that long and strong at some other things, respectively. Right now, I think it's both. Sure, it's like a calmer episode that we needed after the ones about Rei and Bellum was settled — somehow. But of course, there could still be a deeper meaning to that shifting and rethinking of the Gozyugers' initial wishes. Let's see if the next episode will explain it to me at some point.

Dear Future Husband,


I know it's been a while since I wrote a letter to you like this here. I mean, I don't even know if you're reading this or not. But at the moment, I really don't care. I just want to let it out of me before I end up overthinking again. And from what I can remember, overthinking would only make me worry so much over things that I should never pay attention to. If that's cold of me to say (or in this case, write), then please forgive me. Like I said, I just need to let it out.

I hope you're not angry at me for doing that. Though I can't promise that this won't be the last, I will do my best to keep it to the minimum. If not, rare.

Sorry about that. My mind is a little messed up at the moment. I guess you could also say that I'm worried. Am I crazy? I know I can meet you in one way or another. I'm sure in my heart at some point that nothing will get in the way of us meeting and loving. But what am I worried about, to be honest? My heart has been pounding really strange for a while now and I don't know why. Would I meet you soon? Would I know it's you?

I don't know where this idea came from. But I can really feel that you're not from the country where I come from. Not from the place where I was born and raised. This strong feeling remains until now ever since I first thought about it back in high school. By the way, that's nearly two decades ago. I think I first thought about it back in third year high school. Why did I think of it that way, though? Was that something strange to think about?

I might be asking for something hard right now. But I hope you're a man who would never judge people just because of their race. I hope you're someone who wouldn't be easily swayed by the ways of the society and their way of thinking. You do know how sometimes their thoughts and rules were twisted. As I'd usually say it, society sucks. But that doesn't mean I should always stick to their rules.

I don't know how love would defy some of those twisted thinking and rules. But I think one of the ways we can deal with this was to remain true to each other. Remain true to what we believe in that doesn't involve hurting or defiling people. Remain true to our dreams of becoming the people we can be proud of.

I got dramatic again, huh? I'm sorry. But that's how my thoughts would usually go. I only release them while writing, so don't worry about me doing the same thing in person while we're talking. I'm not like that. 

Maybe when I become comfortable to tell you these things, I hope it wouldn't be too much for you to listen to. I know when to stop doing that, so don't worry. Of course, I also want you to be comfortable telling things to me. Things that you wouldn't sometimes mention to anyone else. I want us to be comfortable to each other that telling our thoughts and letting each other know how we feel would actually feel like home for both of us.

I love you and I love it when we actually feel like we're each other's home at the end of the tiring day. For now, I'll end this letter here. I do hope that next time, I would tell you some great things about my life. You can do that by reading my journal entries I'm placing in this blog. They are from my actual journal, after all, unless stated otherwise. Okay? So know that they are my actual daily happenings, even when most of them were mundane and boring.

Love you lots. Till the next letter I'd write for you. ❤️😊💕

Still waiting for you to finally come to my life,
Florence Joyce

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 34


I know this was about Rikuo and Rei fighting it to the finish. But somehow, I decided to use this photo instead for this episode comment, for some reason. But yes, kind of guessed it that Rikuo would decide to fight Rei alone and get killed because of it if it comes to that. Then again, he has very perceptive teammates, whether he admits it or not. Even for Sumino who still has hard feelings for him keeping the truth about the man who took Oto.

I'm actually glad that Rei wasn't killed off. Yes, he did a lot of atrocities just to find himself a cure (or to better put it out there, he was sacrificing humanity along with his desire to die). But in my opinion, dying is like an easy escape from punishment. Living can also become a form of punishment. That depends on how one views life, I guess.

And yes, Sumino did finally find Oto. But I also have a feeling that she won't be waking up anytime soon. If what the first appearance of the grown-up Oto had told me, she was awake because of the ring's power. Something must have messed up Oto's physiology for that abduction to make that happen to her. Then again, who knows. I could be wrong, though.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 33


This episode was both intense and chaotic in a way. Maybe it was chaotic for me because of what Hoeru had to go through as a trial that the sword gave. I wonder why the sword chose him, though. Tega Sword did say that it chose Hoeru. I don't think it has anything to do with his lack of wishes or dreams, though. He has them, he just didn't know it or maybe haven't fully dived into them for him to realize it. But in the end, he made his choice, even if it means his parents forgetting that he and Kuon (or Hisamitsu, as he was previously called) were even their children. A world of chaos where he has to fight alongside the people he met in his lonely journey. It looked like there would still be hope, though.

I'm a fan of powered up swords or just swords that grants powers to their wielders, in general. And this one — the one called RyoTegaSword — was really fascinating for me. But I think this is the first time I've seen a sword that was used as (possibly) the ultimate power up for the team. I could be wrong, though, so free to correct me. I like Gozyu Wolf's new form after getting that sword, by the way.

Now the Calamity seems to be getting stronger. Yup, even to the point where Tega June actually had to deal with the enlarged Bellum. She was pissed, that's for sure. Even I was surprised. I really thought this episode would show Rei's end or something. I was wrong. It could be in the next episode since the last bit did show that Rikuo was — more than ever — resolved in stopping Rei. The preview somehow hints on that. But I don't know. Let's see what happens next week, then. 😊✌️

Honestly, it really feels good for me that I'm finally able to catch up with watching and at the same time, writing comments in each episodes of this series.

I know that this is going to be a chaotic episode, with the issue involving Rikuo, Rei and Sumino were already reaching the breaking point (or maybe not yet). Yes, the desperation in all three of them were also reaching the breaking point, albeit each were for different reasons. Two were obviously for the desire to save the people close to them. I don't know about Rei, though. I think he already lost his mind when his career as a surgeon was over after saving Rikuo. And maybe a soldier serving the Calamity called Cladis took advantage of that. I didn't pay attention at first when they were first mentioning the word "calamity" in the previous episodes. But it looks like that word has an even bigger role to play when it comes to the Universe War.

And then there's the lovers' spat between Mr. Shining Knife and Mrs. Sweet Cake which is both fascinating and hearbreaking near the end. I guess even Tega June was aware of the power that the Calamity could bring. But who would've thought that Mr. Shining Knife was a part of that? And now, it looked like Mrs. Sweet Cake is dead. But honestly, I'd like to think of it as her being in coma. Yes, she is a No-One. But she was still a living being (I think). So yeah, maybe I just like to think positively about their situation. Especially when I saw and heard the despair in Mr. Shining Knife's voice when he realized that he had hurt his wife like that.

It looks like the next episode will be as intense as this one, especially now that a new weapon is about to emerge. Did that play a role in the previous war, though? Anyway, it did look cool. 😊✌️

Trying to catch up once again since internet connection was lost for about a week. And I ended up watching something else as soon as we had it back. Oh, well.

Ryugi's back! But yeah, some more revelations about certain characters are revealed. Especially with regard to Rei. And now, Sumino was able to find the person responsible for her sister's disappearance. But who would've thought that he was a former doctor? And at the hospital that Ryugi's family owned, to boot? I mean, seriously? I think even Hoeru was finally able to realize something after seeing Rikuo's reaction to Rei's appearance. Yes, even when that Prince Assam was a pain in the butt at some point, they still cared for him. Now I wonder if they would be able to save him or get him out from Rei's ring. The confrontation only made Sumino determined to find more about Rei. But that ending? Why? Now I want to know how she will treat Rikuo after finding the connection between him and Rei.

Souji (Kyoryuger)/Fuuka (Ninninger): Do What It Takes


Even if it means really disappearing in your life completely, I'll still do what it takes to fight and defy the fate laid out for us... — Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

Just how many last battles were they going to deal with just to grasp the peace that they truly wanted? Was it really hard to even think of?

They weren't meant to fight this much, if other people would think so. However, it seemed that it wasn't something that fate had intended for them to have.

More tears fell from Hammie's eyes that seemed to have not stopped crying  for several days as she stared at the falling rain. It was both crazy and worrying to those who would see her, to be honest.

But she couldn't stop at all, though she tried several times. Nothing helped.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 30


Ah! I finally caught up! Thank you!

Well... That was pretty quick for his appearance. I wonder why the ring chose Assam to become Gozyu Tyranno, by the way. His sense of responsibility was completely different. Even his reasonings. But at least, his eyes were opened in the end. I thought this was going to be a two-part episode, as it happened to most major guest characters to appear in the series. Then again, a lot of the people wanted Assam to be just a one-time thing. Well, it happened. Of course, there's Rei --- at it again to ruin everything. His obsession to power was something, to the point of being able to absorb anyone in that ring of his. Urgh! That was another mystery, though.

Anyway, the only question I have right now is...

What the heck is going on? Especially with that preview. Ryugi, you better come back and continue being Gozyu Tyranno... and make coffee... and being devoted to Tega Sword, like you used to.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 29


Ryugi... Why does it have to come to that? Does it really have to end up like that for you? For someone really devoted to Tega Sword? I mean, come on. Even when I wasn't really fond of him, he's still an important part of the Gozyugers. He's like an older brother to them and would definitely keep Hoeru in check. Their dynamic was amusing and fascinating to me. Maybe that's why he fought Hoeru that way? I don't know. The fear was, I think, really eating him that he thought his decision was for the best. Then again, nothing ends that easily. Even for someone as devoted as him to Tega Sword and being a Gozyuger.

And then there's Rei — again. Looked like he would become one of those bigger bosses that the Gozyugers had to deal with. Well, mainly this would be the bigger battle that Rikuo had to deal with. He really need to finish it all off before it becomes too much that there would be no way out for him. Rei's obsession for power (at least, it's something that I see) was indeed in an insane level already that he even had to capture someone just for that. Now Mashiro was aware about that part of the situation. I wonder how will they deal with the truth once it's all out to the rest.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 28


One thing I can say about this — never comment on someone's struggles just because it never happened to you. Arata seriously has the guts to use Hoeru's lack of dreams and wishes against him just because he heard it from Kuon. But even there was a reason for that and it could be one of the factors that had contributed to his survival in No-One World. I really appreciate the friendship between Fire Candle and Bouquet. For real. Mashiro was still concerned for Bouquet's well-being, even when she was an enemy. Of course, it's still funny that he ended up chraging her for all that he did to help her. Usual money-grabbing Mashiro. 😂😂 Kuon was brutal to everyone, even his employees, as per usual. To think he was really killing them, even when it was implied off-screen. What really happened to him all those years, seriously? He was losing his humanity by becoming Tega June's lap dog, as most would say. He's crazy, that's for sure. Not sure if he would still be worth saving at the end of all of this, to be honest.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episodes 27


As most of the world is pretty much pissed off with anything related to AI, this one is something that would sure trigger something to them somehow. Or maybe I was just the one thinking that way. Kuon only appeared to make Bouquet forget about love because of that confrontation she made with Tega June. I could be wrong, though. But why? Bouquet was like a child with the way she was acting after losing her memories. With her tagging along with Mashiro, that flashback from his life (possibly 10,000 years back when he was newly chosen) was shown. He almost acted similar to Hoeru in a way. Maybe that's why they got along (I think)? I don't know what to think about dealing with that Money No-One, though. What was happening here in my country was, somehow, has relation to that. So in a way, maybe I'm triggered? Not sure. Or I just don't like the topic. And yes, of course, the trap that Kuon AI's Number 2 had set up just to surpass Kuon using the Gozyugers. I guess someone would really be determined to do everything to outdo anyone they deemed the biggest hurdle in their way, huh?

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 26


Will there come a time that Hoeru won't be fired in a job that he applied to? I mean, for real. But seriously, Toei? Does it really have to be there? Then again, I don't think it ever happened before. At least, based from what I've watched related to that company. Why does this episode feel like a filler episode and at the same time, a recap episode? I kept seeing recap episodes in some of the anime that I would watch lately. So I couldn't help questioning that. In any case, it's still an entertaining one for me to watch.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 25


Well, that was some test of grit... and one's worth after failing. At least, thst's how I would describe the episode. Just a continuation of the previous one, and more rings appeared to fight the team. The surprising one was Mashiro summoning Tega Sword and even ToQ-Oh. I mean, he and Tega Sword had a beef, right? And yet, he still managed to summon him. Then again, he was still a Ring Warrior once before. He might have a different method now, but he still rely on the powers from the past. There was just something going on about Mashiro. That's what I think. And I mean more than what the story and himself was implying.

I know this is short. I wasn't feeling well at all these past few days. But I need to get this over with, that's all.

With how peaceful things had been over the years, life should be going smoothly, right? Then again, when one knew that peace was never eternal, there would still be worries lingering. One couldn't help thinking about how long would this last.

Mako should be thinking of something else that was of similar importance, to be honest. But at the moment, she was just sitting inside a cafe, drinking the coffee she ordered with nothing else in mind.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 24


Yes, I'm late again. I'm catching up, at least that's what matters at the moment. That's what I think, anyway.

So a school themed episode. And of course, another two-parter episode, as well. Should've seen that one coming. But hey, they actually featured LuPat this time. And the warriors were contrasting, as well. Old and new.

Not sure why the concept was getting stuck in their youth, though. But I think the three Gozyugers who were "brainwashed" (not sure if that's how you call it) seemed to have experienced something entirely different in their own youth. I mean, something really drastic that they never really got to enjoy it. At least, that's what I think, of course. It could have a different interpretation to others.

They managed to defeat the first No-One who infiltrated the school. But who would've thought that there was another one? The guy who has the Patranger Ring (sorry, I forgot the name) was just dedicated to what he was doing. Only for it to be crushed by the realization that he was aiding the enemy.

Now another challenge to bring back the school is about to happen.

It seems that Hoeru would continue to impress Rikuo in more ways than one. But in this case, it was really needed to wake him up from the fact that he doesn't have to do everything that Rei had wanted him to do because of what happened in the past. Both of them couldn't let go, but only one would use that to his advantage to gain something. Good thing he was snapped out of it somehow. And that both Hoeru and Kumade were on with it. As for their battle with Fire Candle, it really seems that only Hoeru can match that. Both were seeking for more power, each for different reasons. No wonder they were rivals for that. And that's probably the reason why Orca Booster reacted so strongly when it was caged and Fire Candle was tied. Hoeru was the one howling alongside Ryugi and Kinjiro around the time to get its attention. And now, that power belonged to Gozyu Wolf. I like the power-up form, by the way --- both on Gozyu Wolf and Tega Sword. But why blood moon, though? Hmm... Maybe I shouldn't give it more thought for now. Perhaps the answer will come some time soon, in the upcoming episodes.

Wala nang maisip na dahilan si Stella para sundin ang gusto ng mga kaibigan niya na kalimutan ang taong iyon. Ah, wait! She should correct that. She failed to mention to these so-called friends — at least iyon na ang gusto niyang itawag sa mga ito — that the person she mentioned to them a while back was not an ordinary human.

journal entry #2120

I just felt soooo tired, only because I went out 3 times today. I even ended up sleeping before I could even stop myself before I could even write in my journal. Good thing I woke up shortly after, even when it's only past 10 in the evening already.

Because of that, I didn't get to do my usual daily stuff. I still get to do some rereading and also some rewriting.

The reason I went out thrice today was:
  1. I had to accompany my mom to the hospital for her laboratory tests,
  2. I had to go to the market to buy some ingredients for dinner; and
  3. I had to come back to the stall where I was supposed to pick up Mama's order of big siomai, though I wasn't able to get that because the seller wasn't able to deliver it on time. I ended up buying different ingredients to added to our dinner instead.
To be honest, I've been itching to do some serious story writing already. But I'm about to finish my rewriting business, anyway. So I could either start doing exactly that tomorrow or the next day. But it would be better if I could do that tomorrow already.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 22


Saving, huh? That means two things. One synonymous to rescue and the other was the act of reducing the expenses used and maybe live to the point of frugality. That's my interpretation, by the way.

Both a Hoeru and Rikuo-focused episodes on separate segment and now, it just got worst. I mean, this is possibly one of the episodes I hate in this series --- the second one. Only because that heck of a person made Rikuo really uncomfortable like that. Yup, not liking that Rei at all.

Now Fire Candle really became too obsessed with getting more power that turned him to something different. Well, let's just say he became even more aggressive than usual. He has a nasty drive that was different from his usual ones --- namely Gozyu Wolf. And now, a new weapon made an appearance all of a sudden for no reason at all. Did something call for it? By the way, does it really have to be related to water, though? And why orca? Not sure if I even heard of an aggressive orca, though. And of course, that ending? Why? Urgh! Rikuo really had to do that --- all because of Rei. I'm just pissed by that.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 21


Oto was captured again. I knew her appearance wouldn't last that long, considering the state that she mentioned about herself only relying on the ring's power to remain awake after a coma.

Rikuo was surely not himself to the point that he couldn't entertain his fans. In this case, the fan turned out to be Bouquet the Loving. I must say, she was a respectful fan by not forcing Rikuo on anything.

Kinjiro doing an effort to cheer Sumino up. I guess this will be a pattern between these two as I noticed something similar in the previous episodes.

As usual, No-Ones were out there causing chaos once again. This time, by hacking a festival.

Fire Candle's start of obsessing for more power as he felt that everything he ever did was not enough. This could get really dangerous for him, I have to say.

At least the festival helped in a way for Sumino to recover and be herself again.

Rikuo does seem desperate as he looked for the one named Rei. He knew, right? About the grey-eyed man that took Oto and the one that Sumino was looking.

journal entry #2098

The rain hadn't stopped — at all! Are you kidding me? And now, 3 LPAs were lining up around PAR and might become storms that would hit the country if they continued to get stronger because of the monsoon.

I actually forgot to mention. Mama did the laundry yesterday — but only the underwears. We had the rest of the clothes be sent to the laundromat area near our house and have it be washed there since we don't have a dryer and we couldn't properly dry our clothes at all. And today, we got them back — smelling clean and nice. Now we won't have to worry about the dirty laundry for a while.

Yes, continued rewriting prompts in order once again. But I really have a feeling that doing this is what stops me from writing some stories. Why do I feel like I'm doing things the wrong way again?

Continued reading Volume 9 of "The Weakest Tamer" light novel. Still doing this even when I've read the web novel version already.

Went out to go to the market — again. They asked me to buy some surgical tapes, cotton and gauze for TP and also fruits that my second sister has to eat.

Due to my clumsiness while claiming the clothes that we sent to the laundry shop, my right first toe got injured. And until now, it still hurts. What the heck?

Read two light novels and finished them.

Went out to pay the electric bill and also buy some ingredients in the market.

Continued rewriting prompts in order.

Uninstalled FGO and then installed it once again when I know I couldn't stop playing. Weird me.

Still raining and I guess it will continue until Friday this week.

It was already declared that government offices won't have work tomorrow because of the torrential rain. Meaning, my second sister won't have to go to work tomorrow.

journal entry #2096

Went out today to go to the market. There were some condiments that were out of stock and we also need other ingredients for dinner tonight.

Got to continue rewriting prompts in order. Too bad I still can't find some time in me to write stories using those prompts just yet.

Actually got to read today. Managed to finish reading two light novels --- both were 1st volumes of their respective series. "In Another World With Household Spells" and "A Tale Of The Secret Saint." Well, the second one was more influenced by the trailer of its upcoming anime adaptation thay I watched on Youtube. I still haven't planned to download the books from the entire series. But I ended up doing it, anyway, as soon as I finished watching the trailer.

We got another power outage before 11 AM that lasted until 2:30 in the afternoon. I guess there were some electric lines needed to be fixed or something. I don't know.

It's still raining hard here. One storm got out, and then another just came in. That means, more rain coming.

Watched Episode 4 of "Private Tutor For The Duke's Daughter. Haven't written any episode comment about it, though.

Went out to go to the market to buy some ingredients for dinner.

Got to continue reading Volume 9 of "The Weakest Tamer"

Continued rewriting prompts in order.

Experienced another power outage. But only for a short time. Probably around 30-45 minutes.

(episode comment) betrothed to my sister's ex episode 3


Yup. We've got mean girls around here. Like what the heck? Hopefully, they don't fully tamper whatever confidence that Marie was slowly building in her or else... Urgh! I guess in this kind of story, especially the ones dealing with nobility, would always have this kind of people in the circle. Maybe I should read the web novel version just to be sure about what's going to happen to them. Seriously, I don't trust those two maids.

At least, Kyros and Marie were slowly communicating with each other. It's still a long way to go, though. This episode mainly tackled on the way Marie was exploring the castle where she was staying at. Just a good episode for me. Maybe even a calm before the storm, so to speak. I don't know for now.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 20


So... Sumino's sister, huh? Well, I mean, considering the length of time that the event of the disappearance happened, it shouldn't be a shock that Oto have grown. And yes, she did grow --- but had also forgotten who she was other than her name. Of course, even Sumino would be hurt by that realization. But the comatosed part that Oto mentioned... It does feel weird and then the Shinkenger ring chose her. I'm not going to point out the gyaru concept as it was really weird for me to see, even when it's also funny that I don't really mind in most points.

Okay, this is just me having questions about the show that I think would be answered some other time. As per usual, Rikuo was being perceptive about Sumino's feelings, that was why he went out to comfort her and make her understand the situation. It's his reaction about the gray-eyed man that Sumino mentioned that suddenly changed his attitude at that moment. He knew something... At least, that's one thing for sure. Now the question is --- what could that something be, enough to change Rikuo's disposition with regard to the discussion about the gray-eyed man?

And then, Fire Candle. He really never gives up, doesn't he? But what the heck? The ring actually chose him? Even if it was taken somehow by force from Oto? What's going on? Seriously? But yes, I think the next episode would be intense. I'd rather not spoil myself with any pictures with no context (too late) until I watched the episode that aired last Sunday. The last one on my list, for now, before the 22nd episode air tomorrow.

journal entry #2092

Okay. Now I decided this to be my last entry on my 15th journal. And that also means I already pulled the remaining blank papers in that journal. There's no turning back now. But seriously, that's still something crazy for me to do, you know.

Went out twice. One to the hospital and the other to the barangay hall. They needed some IDs and papers for me to photocopy. So I ended up going to town, as well after going to the hospital. Well, as expected, it was tiring that I ended up sleeping as soon as I ate and got back.

First time cooking pancit and it was a bit of a failure, I would say. It turned out to be salty. The noodles' fault, I think. But at least I got to do it, even if it was a fail at the start. I just have to be careful next time, I guess.

While walking to head home, I got to think of a new story plot --- again. Only this one is a bit brutal and tragic. There was also a sort of sentient sword involved. I think this story plot would turn out to be more of an origin story of a sort. I still have no idea why I ended up thinking of a brutal plot. So I have no idea if I'd be able to write it one of these days. This one was far more brutal than the revenge story I thought of before. Maybe I'll just fix the information in my head for now before I write anything else. I mean, this one was gory (I think) and would end in a tragedy for the FL.

Gosh! We got noisy and drunk neighbors who decided to create chaos even when it was raining hard right in front of the house. I mean, seriously? They went for it until past 10 PM. Really annoying!

journal entry #2091

Only when I saw the post about the 1990 Baguio Earthquake did I realize that today is its anniversary. Not to mention, today is also my mom's half-brother's birthday. Then again, we never actually communicated that much, so I didn't get to greet him. I don't think I want to, anyway.

It rained hard around late afternoon. And I don't mind since it was a bit hot when I went out even though it was cloudy almost all the time during the day.

I actually bought 2 A6 size notebooks. Both for the purpose of making it my journal starting today. But for some reason, I still chose to write here today. Then again, I'm still debating on when should I start using those notebooks as my journal that I can seriously carry around anywhere. Maybe tomorrow or the next day. I don't know. Hopefully, soon so I can just write anywhere I want to.

As of 6 PM today (I'm writing here at 8:29 PM), TP was sent to the OR. Here's to hoping for a successful surgery after that.

Yes, I got to continue rewriting prompts in order once again. Though I only get to do a few since I ended up going out twice.

Went out twice today. One, to the market. And two, to the hospital to bring food and clothes to Mama. So yes, it's no wonder I ended up sleeping as soon as I returned. That was tiring, obviously.

I might have to go back to the hospital again to bring some things for Mama. Hopefully, I only get to do so around 11 so I won't run to any trouble at all. We'll see.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 19


Finally got to watch another episode. I really have a habit of delaying some things, huh? But maybe I'll worry about that later. Things had gotten a little busy around here, so I might have to delay some more. Hopefully, not for too long.

That was some nasty tactic to bring someone's spirit down, Kuon. Killing someone special to your brother... He'd really fallen from grace, huh? But how did Mashiro know about Kuon's scar, by the way? Did he just sense it or was there something else about it? I'm still not convinced about him wanting to become a god or something. But Mashiro definitely knew something. What exactly happened to Kuon for him to side with the Bridan?

Well, on the good note, Hoeru had his first date, even if it's with someone who said that he shouldn't have any wish. It might be for the reason of protecting himself, but it's still sad that it was also one reason why Hoeru couldn't wish for anything in his life. Regardless of the shenanigans that the other members had put up as they followed Hoeru on his date, it looked like he had some fun with one special person. And Mashiro actually called Hoeru by his name and not "Second Gen" anymore? Are you kidding me? Then again, that could be a one time thing. But at least he didn't find it in him to criticize or anything. Maybe that's why that new combination happened. He knew something and he lent his own powers.

I don't know. Maybe that's just my thought about it. 😁✌️

(episode comment) private tutor to the duke's daughter episode 3


I was supposed to post this yesterday. But I don't know why I ended up putting that on hold. Anyway, here we are again. At least, I got to watch this and now, I'm placing my own comment about it. I think that's for the best, right?

So they managed to overcome the first hurdle and that was releasing whatever was hindering Tina's mana. But yikes! That's some kind of power. Now the real problem comes --- and that is her control of her own mana. She did have affinity to ice magic and probably even more talented than her predecessors. The question here now was about the entity that appeare while Allen was trying to link with Tina's mana. What the heck was that? It definitely looked ancient and according to Allen, it was the one hindering Tina's magic. But why?

And why was the duke seemed to be against Tina going to the academy even though he did make a promise to Allen about that issue? Well, at least Allen managed to convince the duke otherwise through the duchess' symbol. Probably her own mark that would guide her daughter in her journey. Could she have known about Tina's magic? Could she have known something about what's going to happen?

Anyway, one more test before Allen could decide whether or not the two girls would be able to head to the Royal Academy. Let's see what happens next.

journal entry #2088

Finished watching third episode of "Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter". Though I don't think I'd be able to write any episode comment today. I'm already sleepy, to be honest, and my eyes just keep drooping.

Done some more prompts rewriting in order. I still have a lot to rewrite, that's for sure.

Ended up downloading the light novel version of "Secrets Of The Silent Witch". Kind of got curious when I watched the first two episodes of the anime version.

Downloaded some videos to watch offline ftom Youtube. I only chose the topics that interested me at the moment.

Mama did another batch of laundry again, but mainly to wash her blanket. She just doesn't like the smell of her blanket, that's why. And yes, we were taking advantage of the early sun before it gets foggy or it started raining again.

(episode comment) betrothed to my sister's ex episode 2


Yup. Kyros really made the biggest mistake right there. And now, he's gonna have to make it up to Marie who really still believe that she was just a replacement for her sister. I mean, it'll be a hard work for him ---both to prove his intentions and feelings were true and also to make Marie finally see that she wasn't a replacement.

Even so, at least it was clear that there would be people who are willing to care for Marie and help her in more ways than one. That everything she was experiencing at the moment was not a dream. That it was, in fact, meant for her. It would obviously take time. But it seems that the maid (I forgot what her name was) was willing to do the necessary work to make sure Marie was treated right and in accordance to her new status. Hopefully, there wasn't some real bummer situation to appear that would ruin what they have at the moment.

Friday, July 11, 2025

journal entry #2086

Went out to go to the market today. Good thing it wasn't raining that much. Here's to hoping the sun finally rises and shines all the way tomorrow. We really needed to hang those laundry to dry properly. Though I honestly wish that we have a dryer so we don't have to worry about the clothes being smelly just because it wasn't dried properly.


Just finished watching Episodes 5 and 6 of "私の夫と結婚して". Yup, we're definitely in the middle already and things just got even more intense. We were rewarded with another ML POV. This time, he actually met Misa's father and got to talk to him. This was a different one from the Korean version as Ji-hyuk actually got to talk to Ji-won's father who was basically a spirit. While Wataru talked to Misa's father sometime before the father died. One thing I noticed, though. Did Misa's father die of the same condition as Misa? He did touch his stomach when the length of his life was mentioned. More chaos ensued. But the turning point that Misa wanted to happen had finally occured. She was able to pass her fate of getting married to Tomoya to Reina. Now I can't wait for another Friday to come just so I can watch the next two episodes. Weird, huh?

journal entry #2085

My second sister didn't go to work today since she wasn't feeling well. Then again, she did warn me about that yesterday. Though it's a bummer that she wa not allowed to drink any medicine or pain reliever as it might affect the baby.

Went out to go to the market to buy some more ingredients again. Though, because of my second sister's fever, I ended up having to buy just fever patches and onion leaves. Budget was limited so I only need to buy just these 2.

Managed to continue rewriting quotes in order.

Continued reading "In Another World With Household Spells" up to 72%. I mean, from 9% yesterday? That's seriously a lot.

Why is it that I can't decide to focus on learning just one language? This is why I hate my fickle-mindedness sometimes. But I guess I'm focusing on something. Maybe at some point, that's a good thing? Honestly, I don't know anymore.

Should I actually start reading Tagalog historical romance on Wattpad? I don't know what made me think of doing that, to be honest. Though I love history, I was never that invested in Filipino history. Was that a bad thing to think about?

Wednesday, July 9, 2025

journal entry #2084

Whole day rain and it just got annoying. Then again, the day had to go on even with that.

Went out to go to SSS to pay for my second sister's contributions. Then headed to market after that to buy some ingredients that Mama had asked me to buy.

Continued rewriting quotes and song lyrics prompts in order again. Now I'm on number 340.

Found a new light novel to read, even though I still haven't finished reading the other ones. Then again, I can't help it. I sort of liked the premise of the story.

I should really do what I can to finish watching the remaining 2 episodes of Gozyuger on my phone. Why do I keep putting that on hold, to be honest?

Managed to continue writing that one-shot fanfic while waiting for my turn to pay at the teller in SSS. Still not done writing that, for some reason. Maybe tomorrow, I can finally do that.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 18


That took me a while to write my comment on this one. Sorry. I was choosing to pay attention to something else, that's why. And I know that's not a good excuse.

I... don't really have much to say about this episode. Only that it was weird. That reminds me, Hoeru did say that next time, the enemy would bring a No-One, let it be someone normal. Can I just laugh at that comment of his? Since when did a No-One be considered normal, anyway? Of course, you can just ignore me for this comment. I did find that weird.

What I can't understand was the fact that Tega Sword seemed to be discouraging Goode Burn/Tega Knuckle for being with Mashiro? This made me question what exactly happened back then during the last war? What transpired between Mashiro and Tega Sword? Then again, Goode Burn still decided to be Mashiro's partner.

And then the last part. Why did Black Daizyujin appear again? And this time, seemed to be merged with other robots from GaoKing and actually imitated ShinkenOh's finisher? What the heck is happening? Well, even Mashiro said that it wasn't the usual Daizyujin that he knew. So, yeah. What in the world was going on?

For now, I guess that's all I have to say about this. Nothing much, I know. But I seriously have to do my best to catch up already. 😁✌️

(episode comment) private tutor to the duke's daughter episode 2


Yikes! What was that last part of the episode? But I guess this proves one thing. Tina can cast magic. But really, why in the world can she not do it? It was like... whenever she would try doing so, some black spark would appear, for some reason. Like something was blocking her magic. And now, her magic went berserk like that. Then again, her emotions became too uncontrollable. Mainly because of intense frustration for her inability to cast magic despite having a strong amount of mana in her.

At least, I can see that Allen was doing his best to know the truth about Tina's situation. And it also looked like he has no plans of giving up on teaching her and Ellie. Now let's see what he was about to do next to pacify both Tina and her magic.

By the way, I was only on the first chapter of the first volume of the light novel. So I'm basically blind at what will happen on the anime version. I guess this is better since I could treat the two as separate way of storytelling. I was supposed to leave comment here yesterday. But I ended up focusing on something else. 😁✌️

Sunday, July 6, 2025

journal entry #2081

If this really keeps up, I might end up using a smaller notebook for journaling. But no, here I am, insisting that I should really stick to it. To see that big journal filled up to its last pages. Then again, we'll see.

It just rained the whole day. What in the world?

I even had to go out to go to the back despite the rain since I needed to withdraw the money needed to pay the rent. I had to do it before the landlady leave to go back to either Bulacan Batangas. Sorry, not exactly aware where she was loving. I could even be wrong about the two places, anyway.

Writing down the quotes and song lyrics prompts in order on a different notebook. Yes, I'm combining them in one notebook so it'll be easier for me to look at the order of the one-shot I have to write next. Which means, a whole lot more rewriting to be done. But I guess it's okay.

Managed to write a few paragraphs on that one-shot fanfic I'm working on. But because it was cold, I couldn't write longer than I intended to.

(episode comment) betrothed to my sister's ex episode 1


This is one of the anime that I've been waiting to watch, even if I know I have to deal with another story involving some God-forsaken, rotten-to-the-core, favoring-one-over-the-other kind of family. Urgh! Why did they treat Marie that way, seriously? I could just punch all of them. Well, at least she's out of that family's house now that she would be engaged to the duke. Wait, was he a duke? I wasn't paying much attention. Sorry.

But at least we're sure that Kyros really liked Marie. The real problem would be on Marie's end entirely. Not only does she believe that she was a replacement for her sister who was said to have died, she never really had any reason to believe that she deserve his affection and care. Then again, growing up in that kind of family and household, with nothing but people constantly telling her how useless and undesirable Marie was, there's no surprise her self-esteem was that low.

Extremely low to the point that you would just want to shake her out of that mindset. Well, I think the people around the duke would be able to do that. Hopefully, Marie would start to learn to be confident, especially as someone who Kyros truly chose to be his wife.

It's a good start for me. Now I have another anime that I can watch that I (hopefully) wouldn't drop in the middle. 😁✌️

journal entry #2079

Urgh! Neighbors are being noisy with their karaoke again. They've been at it for 3 days already. Aren't they even going to stop? Then again, it's not like we can do anything. Those annoyingly noisy visitors were our landlord and his visitors.

At this point, even though it's cold, I'm glad that it was raining. I don't know how they will proceed with the celebration now that there's even a storm hovering/coming. Maybe the rain can minimize the chaos and the noise. Then again, I'm still not sure.

First day of my red days and because of the rain, it was painful that I don't even want to leave my bed. Urgh! Then again, that's not even possible considering that I'm the one who has to constantly move around and do things here most of the time.

Thursday, July 3, 2025

journal entry #2078

Seriously contemplating on switching to a new notebook already. The smaller one, of course. Then again, I'd really rather my current journal filled up all the way through. Not to mention, if I did switch to a smaller notebook, I still need to buy that notebook. Definitely smaller than a composition notebook. But slightly bigger than a pocket notebook. Anyway, I think I'll figure it out later.

Went out to head to the market — even when it was raining.

Before that, Mama and I did the laundry since we knew we won't be able to hung them dry properly once those visitors for whatever celebration that the landlord was cooking up would arrive.

Continued reading "The Secret Of The Golden Pavilion" while I was trying to figure out something. I'm already at 72% of the book (page 133). Just some more push and I'll be done reading that. Not sure when, though.

Agri (Goseiger)/Kasumi (Ninninger): When Will Tears Stop?


When will this river of tears stop falling? Where can I run so I won't feel alone? — Until I Get Over You, Christina Millian

xxxxxx

It really felt like Kasumi was losing it. It felt like that dreaded feeling of losing everything. Right in front of you, at that. It was scary. It was heart-wrenching.

However, it wasn't something she could stop no matter what she did. Or was it supposed to feel that way? There had to be a way, right?

(episode comment) shirohiyo: reincarnated as a neglected noble episode 12 (final)


So we've reached the end already. I can only just pout as I've actually wished they make it a bit longer, you know. This one was a really good anime for me. Or maybe I wasn't just the type to enjoy the anime that majority of the people likes, unless they're within the things that I like. Not sure if I made any sense here, though.

I didn't think they would end this on the part that Princess Hyakka had to leave for the whole winter and be back in spring, though. It's like saying that there's still something to look forward to. But hey, maybe the studio will do something about that. For now, I can only wish. 😁✌️

Ageha is definitely too young to start a company, obviously. But everything he would create surely caused some sort of chaos enough for some trouble to come — good or bad. Though it might not be that obvious at the moment, there would definitely be trouble brewing around. Especially with the matter of his god-forsaken parents. At least, that's how I woud call them. Then again, he wouldn't be alone in making his wishes and dreams happen. He was doing his best to secure a future for Regulus, after all. Regardless of the future that he knew, he was still doing it. It was for the sake of his brother and all of the people in Kikunoi, after all.

I will surely miss their cuteness, though. Especially the siblings. And now, looks like Kanade was included in the mix. He was the siblings' first friend, after all. And one day, hopefully, one of their greatest ally and confidante. That would be really great for all of them. Anyway, since I can't expect a second season anytime soon (even when it looked like it might not happen), I'll just continue reading the web novel version of this. 😊✌️❤️

(episode comment) private tutor to the duke's daughter episode 1


I just found this anime yesterday and only got to finish watching it today. Though I've seen the trailers before, it didn't really catch much of my interest. But I did try to find the light novel version for me to reach, just for me to have a gist of what the story was about. Haven't even made it 25% of the first volume — only because I was reading something else. 😁😁

Going back to the topic, I mean the start is good. At least for me, the graphics are okay, except for that last part with the eight candles. Most part of it were in 3D. Then again, maybe I'm the only one who was "complaining" about that. Tina and Ellie are both ditzy in their own rights. Especially Ellie, of course. But both of them do wanted to learn magic for their own reasons. So I guess determination was there for both of them.

I was wondering why Allen failed his magic exam when he could do such magic. But when I cheated a bit by reading his profile online (sorry! 😭😭), it looked like someone was behind it. So he wasn't exactly that inept when it comes to magic. Now I want to see how his journey as a private tutor would go from here on out. At least, I got to watch a new anime after that last one I finished.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger


Field day, huh? Not that I can relate since we don't have that from where I live. Or maybe there is... only that I can't fully remember. Hehe! This episode was a bit lively, in my opinion. Lively because of sports, that is. We get to see another moment of Hoeru and Rikuo teaming up again. Or maybe Rikuo was feeling something whenever Hoeru would mention about his past — especially those that he hsd experienced in the No-One World. Things he never get to experience and things he also experienced (although we've only seen a glimpse of that before).

Like I said, at least give the guy a benefit of a doubt... somehow. I still can't take Mashiro's ego, though. So I'll leave it at that. Even so, I think he would give exceptions to some people when it comes to showing affection. Kids, I think, was one of them. Another reason why I wanted to give Mashiro a benefit of a doubt for his reasons to wanting to surpass Tega Sword was his experience after winning the Universe War. I mean, gosh! Sealed for 10,000 years? Even I would be pissed off. But I think there was something more to that. Something else happened. He must have learned something, heard something, seen something... Anything that would immensely fuel that desire to surpass the one who you piloted before in order to win that war.

For now, let's see if we can find out more as the upcoming episodes will be aired in the next coming Sundays. 😁✌️

Souji (Kyoryuger)/Kotoha (Shinkenger): Chance To Protect A Future


Chances are something I chose to ignore before. But now that I have a battle to face, a chance to protect a future with you is what I need to grasp... — Florence Joyce

xxxxxx

Souji could only heave several deep breaths right after finishing off the last of the monsters that suddenly spawned off from the sewers. It was just supposed to be an ordinary day that he was planning to spend alone as he tried to think of a way to finally implement his plan.

But then, this happened.

journal entry #2072

Wow! This has never happened before. Me, in the middle of debating whether to write, to read or to watch. But it's more than the first 2, to be honest. That was weird that I couldn't even help smiling as I write here.

Got to continue reading "By The Light Of The Study Lamp" by Carolyn Keene. I was able to find a way to read that PDF copy of the book comfortably. How come I didn't get to do that before? It would've spared me headache that I felt whenever I had to read PDF books in my reader app.

I got to continue writing that Souji/Kotoha one-shot and I actually finished it! What do you know? It's been a while since I got to finish writing something. I'm glad I didn't put it on hold for days again.

Went out to go to the market. As usual, to buy ingredients — but mainly bangus since Mama needed it for her pinakbet. I also ended up buying ingredients for sinigang sa miso. That didn't take long, sure. But I sure do end up falling asleep in jeepneys lately, it was weird for me. I don't know, but that's how it feels to me, for some reason.

Thursday, June 26, 2025

journal entry #2071


Wow! I actually got to finish reading a book — after a long while. The only thing I did was to increase the font size of my ebook reader on my phone and also the line spacing. I also had to choose a font that would be comfortable to my eyes. I only did what I've seen in Youtube on how to read faster. But since I only have an android phone as a device that I can use, I changed the tactic a little bit. Let's just say that it was, in a way, inspired by a suggestion about using OpenDyslexic as a font. I used a different font, but it still allowed me to finish reading Volume 2 of Campfire Cooking In Another World.

Went out to go to the market again today. I ended up walking from home to town because there was no jeepney available and I didn't want to wait. It was a bit hot, but I didn't mind.

I'm able to do some writing today! Yay! It's been a while. I'm writing a one-shot, by the way. A crossover fanfic featuring Souji and Kotoha. I'm actually going to try finishing it tonight after this. Still, no hard feelings if I couldn't.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 16


One thing I can say about Mashiro — too arrogant, too sure about himself, too much hate (I think) for Tega Sword, and a tad bit annoying. Yup. Probably even worse for me than Ryugi. At the moment, I don't like him. I don't care if he was strong. I don't care if he was the previous winner of the Universe Ring War. If he didn't fix his attitude towards Hoeru and the others, then I will continue disliking this guy. Of course, for now, I'm giving him the benefit of a doubt since there has to be a story as to why he wanted to surpass Tega Sword. But why did he help Hoeru remember what happened in the old world? Never mind the fact that Mashiro was condescending to Hoeru and his lack of wish. But he still helped him. Why? What was the reason?

Then the Prince of Destruction. Well, he was indeed a baby that can talk if I were to base it on his own confusion for his existence and why he was even born. He wasn't made aware of his exact purpose that Tega June and the Bridan wanted to exploit. But I guess Mashiro came right in time to at least rewrite that — or not. Who knows. At least the world didn't disappear. It was just changed. Now the question was that how in the world did Rikuo and the others managed to break free from the illusion of that world that was created because of that last fight. And how did Hoeru's ring remained with him? What was the reason?

I'm doing this one episode a day in order to give way to other activities that I need to do in a day. That means, two more episodes and then I'll catch up. I know I mentioned that in my previous episode comment for this series. But yes, it took me a while before I could review to those previous two. And now, the 18th episode caught up with me. Don't worry. I can do this.

(episode comment) shirohiyo: reincarnated as a neglected noble episode 11


It took me just a day to watch and rewatch the episode. I was supposed to be posting this yesterday but I ended up prioritizing something else instead. We got a new character featured here. His name was Kanade. At least, in the end, the siblings made a new friend — their first friend outside of the mansion, apparently. And basing it from what I read in the web novel version, he would be one of their trusted friend and their constant companion in their adventures. The one part I really laughed about while watching the episode was Ageha's reaction when he accidentally made the fire become bigger just while singing and thinking of a campfire song. He really went "Nani goto?!" with his eyes and mouth opened wide. Then again, he wasn't aware of the power his songs and his singing hold. At least, now he knew. Even Kanade and Regulus decided to learn magic through Victor. And then, when Ageha was in a pinch somehow, Igor appeared. Like... are you kidding me? 😂😂

By the way, according to one source, this anime will end in 12 episodes. But I wobder how will they wrap it up on the next episode. I do like it to have a second season, though. Or at least, make it 24 episodes.

Went out to go to the market to buy some more ingredients for dinner. And also ingredients for my second sister's birthday celebration this 25th. Yup, I didn't even realize.

Done watching the 11th episode of Shirohiyo. But I still haven't written any episode comment about it since I chose to be busy with something else. I think I could do that tomorrow. There's nothing wrong with that, right?

I just realized that I was a lot more dramatic about my life way back 5 years ago than now. Even when I kept saying that I'm numb and making a nonchalant approach about my life's progress, a part of me would still reveal the sensitivity I have when it comes to my own life's failures.

With having the same things happening almost every day, at times, I still find it weird and insane that I keep choosing to write on my journal. Yes, I know I made it a goal to write in my journal every day for 1,000 days and I did reach that goal. After that, I made a new goal to write every day in my journal for 2,000 days. I'm about to reach my 1,800th day on July 4th. It would still take me several more months before I finally reach that second goal. Would I finally have a love life by that time? Who knows. 😝😂😊✌️

Wow! The rain really hit us today. Then again, considering how the weather was acting up before this, that's not a surprise at all. Ofcourse, if we're not careful, we could end up getting sick because of these weather changes.

Went out today to pick up those things that Mama had ordered online. I mean, it's only four. But they were a bit heavy, not going to lie. And then there's one that I have to pick up tomorrow instead because they still had to get supplies for that item over from the other branch.

By the way, neighbors are being annoying not only because they were loud in the morning, but also because they were drunk and definitely not in their right mind. Yup, it was enough to cause some ruckus and fights that extended when they went ahead to their sudden trip. Well, at least that's what I heard. Not sure if it was true or not.

This is just something I thought of while I was washing the dishes earlier. But that transmigration story about a male webtoon writer and a female foreigner, I was thinking of making/including that in the official plot for "Norway In Four Seasons". I don't know why it came to me like that, though. But I mean, it's still fantasy, right? And the main theme of NI4S and LOT6C was meeting again that defy space and time. One is about transmigration and the other is time slip. But I'm actually debating if NI4S should be a transmigration or should I make it a reincarnation. Or both? Gosh, I don't know!

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 15


Why does this episode feel like a final battle moment? Especially when she was summoned and fought Tega Sword like that, with Kuon piloting her? I don't know, but that's how it felt to me. Then again, just how many times the world was recreated whenever Tega Sword and Tega June clash? Just a question that I don't think this episode had answered to me. Or maybe I wasn't paying attention. Who knows? But yeah, what a way to end the world just for Tega June to recreate it. Not going to lie, this is perhaps one of the strangest episode of the series by far, to me. But definitely intense.

As per usual, Hoeru-Fire Candle interaction was fun to watch. Like rivals just wanting to tease and annoy each other but at some point, still similar in more ways than one. Then Bouquet actually got to interact with her idol Rikuo. I'm not sure what to make of their interaction, to be honest. But yeah, that would be me when I get to meet any of my idols.

So... now what? The world ended after that really weird fight between the original and the copy — as Tega June reiterated it. How would the world be recreated in Tega June's image after that? Not to mention, the rings disappeared, as well. What's going to happen now?

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 14


So this is just the continuation of what happened in the last episode. According to Tega Sword, the ring itself had gone berserk that made Shoko act like that. Of course, the ring themselves were considered neutral, to begin with. It will act to the will — mainly — of the contractor. At least, that's how I see it. Thank goodness that Ryugi was able to get his point across to Shoko and let her know about what he truly feels about everything. Even I wouldn't want to live as a puppet that never had a sort of freedom to do what one wants. Shoko finally saw his point after seeing him fight. Then again, this resulted to another weird bout of Ryugi showing his extreme devotion to Tega Sword. Yes, let's be honest. It was indeed beyond normal. Not exactly a fan of too much devotion, so maybe I couldn't relate myself to Ryugi when it comes to that. The next episode seems like it's going to be another weird one. As if that was something new for this series. 😊✌️
