journal entry #2045

Wow! It's actually the last day of the month now. I didn't really pay attention to time and days passing by lately. Not sure if that was a good thing or not, though.

It's still raining hard tonight. Then again, they said that "Habagat (southwest monsoon) is here" in the news. So I think rainy season either comes early or is about to start. I don't know what to feel about that, though.

Final decision. As soon as I finish filling up my current journal, I'll be switching to a smaller notebook as a journal on the next one. That would be easier for me to carry around, especially when I go out of the house and head to town. Maybe I should use a composition notebook, but with thicker pages. I think that would be the best option for me.

Went out to head to the market today to buy ingredients that I didn't get to buy yesterday. I also bought Mama's medicine for uric acid. Thank goodness, it didn't rain when I went there. But the real issue today was the traffic long enough to actually make me fall asleep while waiting for the jeepney to finally move forward. I didn't reach the usual stop. Instead, I got off to Rizal Park when it was stuck in a traffic and walled from there to go to The Generic Pharmacy in Session Road to buy Mama's medicine before going to the market. Honestly, if I had know that the traffic would be that bad, I should've just walked already all the way from home to town. Then again, I couldn't risk it because the sky at the time looked like it would rain any time soon.

We didn't get to do the laundry today because of the weather. But hopefully, it would clear up tomorrow just so we could finish doing the laundry.

I actually got to read today. Though I chose to continue reading the web novel version of Shirohiyo. I managed to read up to Part 48. I think the parts I read would appear in the anime version somehow. Though I'm not sure how they would animate that scene. And now, it was also updated to Part 710. Still a long way to go for me to catch up and be really updated.

journal entry #2044

My sisters, my nephew, and my brothers-in-law — together with my father and my paternal cousin — started traveling to Isabela today. The only worry we have right was that it was raining since this morning. I'm not sure about the other provinces. But yeah, that's the one thing to worry about.

Went to market to buy ingredients for tonight's dinner. I did that even if it was raining. Then again, I don't really have a choice since no one else would do that, anyway.

Just a realization. I think I would be updating story parts once it reaches more than 2,000 words but less than 3,000. At least, I think that would be the sweet spot for me.

Didn't get to write anything even post anything. I got busy doing coloring on the app again. I guess I won't be able to stay away from it, huh?

Why am I thinking of trying to speedrun the Norwegian or Spanish course of Duolingo if I try the premium version of it — at least its 14 days trial version? I don't know why it came to me, to be honest. But even if it's just a thought, it's not like I'll disregard it. It's still something to consider, though. Maybe that would help me me actually focus on learning the language as I go on.

journal entry #2043

One more day and they would be leaving to head to Isabela tomorrow. And yes, I'm not going with them. That was already planned, even before the final plan was set.

My head hurts and I'm not liking it at all. Especially when it's also raining like this. I'm not sure if this was even migraine or just plain headache.

Doing some more coloring on the Paint by Number app. I chose to install Zen Color once again, only because that's the first one of such app that I installed. And I like it better out of all the similar ones I installed before.

For some reason, I'm starting to miss writing poems. Mainly the quatrain ones. Or at least, the one similar to the poem "If Tomorrow Starts Without Me". I need a different kind of inspiration to actually proceed to that. But do I seriously need that?

Why can't I seem to properly concentrate on watching anything lately? I have lots of videos to watch and here I am, wanting to give up watching all of them. Why is that?

Wednesday, May 28, 2025

journal entry #2042

It was actually raining — on half of the day until late at night. That was a little surprising. Or not.

For some reason, my eyes hurt again. I don't really know what's causing this, though.

Finished watching the 8th episode of The Too-Perfect Saint. But I still haven't written any episode comment about it. For some reason, I can't seem to start doing it. Was it because I felt drained or something? Or maybe not. That can't be it.

Watched some more old episodes of Detective Conan. But honestly, I think at some point, it just gave me more headache.

Read a few parts of the web novel version of Shirohiyo. Currently on Part 36 out of 709. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Still a long way to go, I know.

journal entry #2041

Already feeling sleepy as I write here. But I guess that's to be expected since I'm already tired and I just wanted to sleep. I still have to wake up early tomorrow.

IU released some new songs today. The one titled "Never Ending Story" caught my attention.

I'm really trying to start reading again, even if it was just a chapter or two a day. I think it's getting there... or not since I don't really know what to read at the moment.

I know I was supposed to be watching the videos that I've downloaded several days ago just so I can finally delete them from my phone. And yet, I don't seem to have the drive to do it at all and I don't know why.

Went out to go to the market to buy just a few ingredients needed for dinner for the next days. And yes, I won't stop complaining about the hot weather, especially in town, once again. Not like I can do something about that, though. That's Mother Nature. πŸ˜•

By the way, this is just a thought that came to me as I was reading the story scenarios for "Dimensional Cloud Guardians". Could it be that this was just an isekai version of the Korean-themed "Operation: Cloudbreak" and it would be set in a dystopian version of Earth? I don't know why it only came to me now, to be honest. Then again, story ideas evolve over time the longer they sit there. At least, that's what I noticed with all the stories I kept thinking over and over all these years. So that shouldn't be something surprising to think about, if you ask me. And yet, here I am.

My eyes hurt again. I don't know if this has something to do with the headache I felt because of the hot weather. But if this keeps up, I might have to hit the bed sooner than intended.

Why am I trying to add more wedding songs to my playlist? I mean, seriously now? 😱

I got to buy new earphones today! Hope it doesn't get pulled too hard again. 😐

Monday, May 26, 2025

journal entry #2040

I'm still going to complain about the hot weather and what made it rain around afternoon. I don't think that would even change at this point, if I'm going to be honest.

Mama did another batch of laundry today, for some reason.

The laundry was the reason why I ended up going out a little later than planned. I actually had to go to PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG offices since my second sister asked me to do it for her and pay her contributions. Walking there was really tiring since there was the hot weather to boot. But at least I didn't have to wait that long in the line and I was able to pay in no time.

Honestly, just what kind of luck do I have when it comes to earphones? It got pulled too hard again and was snapped at the center. I mean, come on! Seriously now? What the heck? I can only sigh and shake my head, to be honest. And to think I just bought it yesterday. Talk about being unlucky, in a way.

Watching more Detective Conan episodes. That's actually better than scold myself for my clumsiness.

Should I just write stories that are a part of a series in 10-20 chapters only? I mean, I could finish it earlier that way, right?

(episode comment) the brilliant healer's new life in the shadows episode 7


I know I said I will stop watching this anime for some reasons. But I still managed to watch this episode before I decided to stop. And now here I am.

Like what I mentioned, it looked like a new arc started here. At least, the first half looked calm — or should I say calm enough — even when the girls were being even more chaotic than usual just to get Zenos' attention. I mean, even Lily and Camilla participated in the chaos. And to think the scene had to take place in a hot spring. I mean, for real now? But that was just the start of a new chaos that Zenos would have to deal with, now that healers from the capital caught wind of what he had been doing in the slums. I don't trust the guy that even had to fake his illness just to get Zenos' attention. Even if he was a respected healer. And should Zenos really trust the guy even when the man said that he knew about the mentor that he was looking for? Anyway, I guess I would have to follow the story when I read the second volume of the light novel version. I might go back to watching this again when I feel like it.

journal entry #2038

Why was it so hot on one half of the day and then suddenly rained on the next half? And now I have to deal with my migraine striking at me again. Urgh!

Went out today after helping Mama do the laundry to pick up the spring rolls that my second sister ordered online. That's also one reason why I was complaining about the hot weather.

My first sister and her son are here to stay for the night. Then again, they actually arrived later than expected since they still slept. Or at least, my nephew was the one who woke up late. As expected, he's talkative even when speaking baby gibberish mainly and also hyperactive that wouldn't stay in one place.

Rewatched some more episodes of Detective Conan today — again. It does help me relax in a way. I don't know how it does that, though.

I actually received a text from my father after a long time. I mean, the last text I got from him was from August 31 last year. Anyway, he said he would meet up with us tomorrow. That's probably a part of a group text that includes me and my sisters, as usual.

Friday, May 23, 2025

journal entry #2037

Uninstalled Color Up once again — that is, after I colored majority of the gown-themed pictures there. But who knows? I might not be done doing that again.

Just watched some old episodes of Detective Conan. I mean, was that even something new? I still miss watching them, you know. So yeah, I can't help it. Maybe that would help me recover my drive for continuing to write the third part of Detective Tennis fanfiction. Of course, it also means I have to watch Prince of Tennis, as well, since that fanfiction was a crossover of that two anime. Anyway, we'll still see.

Watched another trailer of Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre. This time, with the focus on the prophecy foretelling Terra's destiny and also the source of Mitens's rage and hatred for Encantadia. Mainly, towards the descendants of Memen and Ornia. Even in the 2005 version, those two were still the source of the conflict between two kingdoms. Watching this has also ignited my desire to write Flower Hearts Chronicles, as it has been pending since 2006. Wow! Nearly 20 years. Yikes! Good luck to me!

journal entry #2036

Retained the coloring app on my phone.

Went out to head to the market and also to buy one of Mama's medicines.

Obviously, did some more coloring as I can't seem to concentrate properly today.

Guess I should stick to doing Duolingo lessons in the morning.

Thinking of not having night time snacks starting today just so I could save up. Came to that conclusion after some realization while I was outside earlier.

Just watched some more old episodes of Detective Conan on Youtube. I guess I just miss watching them.

Final decision. I would stop watching The Unaware Atelier Master. And maybe even The Brilliant Healer's New Life In The Shadows. I don't know why I can't find myself vibing with it, to be honest.

In the middle of trying to figure out what to do with "Letters To Sunrise". Should I really do a "3-5 sentences each day" type of story? I don't know, maybe just to make it unique or something. But how can I possibly think of entries like that which would be worth five years? That's going to be tough, for sure.

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

journal entry #2035

It looks like they would be preparing for their travel heading to Isabella already. My second sister already asked me earlier if I would be going with them. I said no. Besides the fact that I don't really want to go, I also can't leave Mama here unattended. Not to mention, I'm the one usually taking care of her. So... that's that.

Went out to withdraw my youngest sister's salary and also to head to the market to pay the electric bill and buy some stuff. At least the wait in line for the payment didn't last long, thank goodness. By the way, they changed the parking area for jeepneys en route to where I live because of another road construction near the City Hall. Seriously, when would they be able to finish doing that?

Done another batch of coloring on the app. I should just retain that app already.

journal entry #2034

Didn't go out at all today. Guess that's a good thing.

Downloaded some games on my phone. But I uninstalled it right after. I really can'g make up my mind on this.

Just watched more random videos on Youtube and also old episodes of Detective Conan.

I was already thinking of not posting anymore episode comments of The Unaware Atelier Master. It's just that it wasn't making an appeal to me anymore, for some reason. Of course, I might change my mind at some point. Possibly the same for those other anime that I've dropped midway.

(episode comment) shirohiyo: reincarnated as a neglected noble episode 6


Honestly, this anime's wholesomeness most of time is what makes me wait for this every week. Maybe that means I should continue reading the web novel version. Anyway, love the interaction between the siblings. Ageha finally found a swordsmanship teacher for Regulus (that was on the last episode) and he learned more about the people in his family. In particular, his grandparents and the possible reason for the lack of their portrait in the mansion. Of course, that would be weird. I just found it nice that Ageha could converse really well with Utsunomiya this time around. Well, she did made her oath for the two kids already, so I guess that's that.

Now about two-thirds of the anime was about Ageha and Mr. Romanov heading to the town in Kikunoi where the Adventurer's Guild was located. For the first time, he actually saw the state of the town. The purpose was to sell the handkerchiefs he made per Mr. Romanov's request before. Only for him to learn that he gained a new skill and another blessing — this time, from Igor who was the God of Technology. The one that the princess mentioned before. At least, he was able to discuss things with the guild master about what he was planning for the Kikunoi estate going forward — little by little. There was little on what he could do as a five-year-old, after all. But his ideas coming from his past life was really helping him, this time. There was only a matter of actually achieving them.

Looks like the next episode will be another wholesome moment as it involves cooking. Talk about suggesting tonkatsu as one of the staple foods unique to the estate. Well, let's see what happens when he actually managed to do it.

(episode comment) the brilliant healer's new life in the shadows episode 6


The last part of the light novel's first volume, and was the most intense fight I've seen Zenos dealt with, by far. Even with the help of the three faction leaders, this was too much as the Golem could regenerate, according to Carmilla. But it seems that he had it under control even when he just did a high heal and helped the demihumans even more while rescuing them. To be honest, I actually pictured the Guide (or in the LN, they called him the Contractor) to be someone middle aged or even older. But here, he was young, even though half of his face was covered. Maybe that's just me imagining it that way.

In any case, the damage in the slums was extensive this time. Good thing no one died. Not even Aston who started all this mess just to get back at Zenos. Well, he must have really regretted it this time. What he did towards other people came back to him. And he lost in the end. After that, it looked like the Guide would still be making an appearance later on. Though I wouldn't know when since I haven't read the second volume of the LN just yet.

It looks like a new arc will begin in the next episode onwards. Now let's see what will start there.

commenting on only two episodes for now

I haven't been able to watch this in a short while, that's why I'm combining them in one post once again. I hope you don't mind. Honestly, I really think this is way better.

So let's get on with it!

Friday, May 16, 2025

journal entry #2030

Went to the hospital again. This time, for Mama's quarterly check-up. But honestly, the waiting time was longer than the actual check-up.

Went out again to head to the market.

Just watched more random videos on Youtube instead of making my time more productive.

Managed to write at least a thousand words for Seitenger. Only reached a total of more than 4,000 words all in all. Still a long way to go.

Not really sure what to call or how to describe the situation at home, if I'm going to be honest. It's still a bit heavy, whenever my second sister is here. As if there was anything new about that whenever that girl would be the issue. But I guess, considering the situation this time, I can't help thinking that this was expected.

I wonder if there would come a time where I won't have to worry about waking up in a heavy atmosphere in the house.

Thursday, May 15, 2025

i think i went all out on doing this today... but who cares, right? 😁✌️

Yikes! This is honestly way too much for a blog entry. But hey, like what the title said, I'm going all out. So here I am! There's nothing wrong with that, right? At least, I'm writing something and maybe it will help with curing my procrastination in some way.

I think I watched about five episodes today of different shows. And even I would say that it's a lot for me since I don't usually watch that many episodes of different animes and other shows as doing so would sometimes give me headache right after. Thankfully, it didn't happen today.

In any case, let's start listing the comments I made for each episodes I watched today.

journal entry #2028

It rained hard again. And that's why it's cold.

Went out to head to the market since Mama asked me to.

Second day of my red days. Thankfully, it wasn't as painful as it was yesterday. In a way, you could say that it was bearable.

Just watched a lot of Hanvely (ν•œλΈ”λ¦¬) videos even though I don't even have a driver's license and I don't drive at all. I just find those videos fascinating to watch, to be honest. As weird as that sounds. And yes, I'm mainly doing this because of language learning — mainly listening, even though this would already fall to either intermediate or advanced level. I haven't even gotten pass Lower Beginner, just so you know.

I knew I have to sleep early because I still have to accompany my mom to the hospital tomorrow for her scheduled laboratory tests. And yes, I can't even do that, for some reason.

Seriously, why am I even browsing my earlier FB posts dating as far back as 2010? What's wrong with me, honestly?

Tuesday, May 13, 2025

journal entry #2027

I guess Tuesday the 13th being a bad luck day, as well, is something I should really consider and not just Friday the 13th. Then again, I only realized that it's Tuesday the 13th today when I wrote the day on my journal.

My red days for this month started today, around afternoon. And because it rained, the temperature dropped. And when the temperature dropped, of course it's cold. And you know my cramps usually hits the hardest when it's raining and it's cold.

Finally finished transferring all the one-shots from that other blog to my personal blog. And now, that other blog was permanently deleted. I guess it's really for the best for me to maintain just one blog and only one. (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Yup, as you guessed it — watched more Youtube videos. At least, I tried watching the sensible ones. This was done after the transferring of one-shots to the original blog.

I went out today as they asked me to head to the market to buy some ingredients. I really thought I brought my umbrella when I went out. But when the jeepney I was riding at was near the stop I was supposed to get off to, I soon found out that I didn't get to place my umbrella inside my bag. So what I did was wait for a long while for the rain to stop falling. It was cold, without a doubt. But I knew I had to be patient as I'm already still dealing with runny nose. I don't want to couple it with another bout of coughing or worse, even fever. I didn't think the rain would fall really hard, though. But I really don't want to risk running through the rain. Thankfully, it did stop falling at some point.

Monday, May 12, 2025

journal entry #2026

So I decided to delete that other blog and transfer its contents on my original blog. I was able to transfer half of it today. Now it only made me think of writing more one-shots.

Election Day. A lot was happening, that's for sure. Then again, I wouldn't know. I didn't go out, anyway. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Around 7 PM, there was a short blackout. Not sure what really happened. But at least it didn't take long.

I really tried to write something today. But didn't get to do any of that at all. Why can't I be consistent in writing stories the same way I'm doing my best to be consistent in my journaling?

Just downloaded some new rampages to listen to at least in the morning as I've been listening to something else while doing the dishes. I just chose to do something like that and do what I can to be consistent with this.

just commenting on two episodes of loaded cuteness for me

I only managed to watched two episodes out of all the episodes of various animes that I still have to watch. But this is better than nothing, to be honest. I would have those days when I don't even want to do anything at all. So having this is good.

It's just a cute anime that I won't mind watching over and over. That's all I can say.

Anyway, here are my comments for the two episodes of Shirohiyo that I watched today.

Saturday, May 10, 2025

journal entry #2024

I really don't know what to call this day, to be honest. Tiring. A lot tensed than usual. Thank goodness, no big argument or confrontation happened. Maybe my silent wish happened as I actually hated dealing with that. But honestly, I think even silent/calm scolding and confrontation is even scarier to deal with. Especially if it is my first sister who would do that. And to think she was a year and 3 1/2 months younger than me.

Thankfully, I'm able to distract myself from further overthinking as I watched more imagines and write episode comments on those episodes I watched. Mainly anime at this point. I would be posting them tomorrow. I'm falling behind, I know. But I also know I'd be able to finish them IF I JUST PAY ATTENTION to doing it. And yet, here I am, choosing to pay attention to something else.

Friday, May 9, 2025

i am seriously way late when it comes to watching and also commenting 😭😭

I don't really have much to say on this, to be honest. But I'm still watching. At least, that's a good thing. And I don't have the need to hurry or anything or else, I would only stress myself out. At least, I know I shouldn't be worrying too much and I can just do things on my own pace.

For now, these two episodes were the ones I managed to watch today.

journal entry #2022

It's sometimes scary when what my guts was telling me turns out to be right. Now we know why — and I honestly felt just numb about everything. I didn't even cry at all, even though it was really frustrating. I just kept sighing. Then again, even if I cry, I don't think I could provide any help at this point than assume. I have to keep doing that. But even with that, I don't think I could scold my own mother even if I want to because:
  1. I don't have the money to even provide any help... yet; and
  2. my three younger sisters had already done that.
I think my sisters were able to find a solution somehow. But yeah, I'm already expecting that the people in the house would treat her coldly or just ignore her until it all settle down. The only thing I can do right now is to lessen the tension a little bit by — maybe — acting as a go-between. Then again, I don't know. I'd actually prefer to not be included in the whole drama.

I just have runny nose and I'm definitely coughing. Not really happy about it, to be honest. Then again, who would be? I think I kind of expected this to happen because of what I did as soon as I would arrive home after going to town. And yes, it involved the electric fan. So yup, it was my fault I got this right now.

With the chaos that happened today, who would still be in their right mind and energy to even do anything at all? I don't really know what to make of everything right now. Confrontations here and there was already expected. Urgh! Let this be over soon.

Wednesday, May 7, 2025

journal entry #2021

Daddy's death anniversary. That's how we call my maternal grandfather, by the way. Mama ended up cooking vegetable tempura, pancit and lumpiang shanghai as an offering.

Because of that, I had to go out to buy ingredients for that. I also bought ingredients for two batches of ice candy — chocolate and mango-flavored.

We were able to make the two batches of ice candy when TP arrived home early.

I don't know why, but I really feel weird hearing and seeing my mom recite bible verses slightly loud as I was doing the dishes. She doesn't usually do this. And honestly, she would only start doing weird things/unusual things when the problems that she was facing could possibly be something she couldn't escape already. It doesn't happen often, but I sometimes hate that my guts would turn out to be right when it comes to these things. Here's to hoping I was wrong, though.

I deleted a lot of videos that were on my phone and so, in a way, there were more space there than before.

Haven't written anything — again! Urgh!

just doing my best to catch up


From Old Country Bumpkin To Master Swordsman Episode 3: This time, it was Surena's backstory. I mean, it was vaguely seen in the first episode. But they did an in depth of it in this one. I didn't realize that she had that kind of story, to be honest. Kind of made me sad for her. But thanks to Beryl, she found a purpose to move forward and use whatever she learned from him to become excellent in her chosen profession as an adventurer. Much like Allucia, Surena achieved the highest rank possible. I liked her specialty in terms of sword wielding, by the way. Two swords. By the way, I noticed that the spelling of her name in the light novel and the anime was different. So whenever I would post my episode comment, I think it's better if I should refer to the one used in the anime to avoid confusion or something. Another thing I noticed here was that this would be near the end of the light novel's first volume since I saw the named monster that attacked them. Yikes! This was going to be brutal, for sure.

xxxxxx


From Old Country Bumpkin To Master Swordsman Episode 4: First half was chaotic because of their battle with a monster. That was one heck of a battle and maybe Beryl's first exposure to such battle, given that he remained as an instructor in their village. Or I could be wrong since I did see him trying put adventuring in one of he flashbacks about him. And then the other half was calm. They actually had to use the monster's remains (or at least, one BIG part of it) as a core for the sword that Beryl would be using. In this, it looked like Surena won a point against Allucia in terms of impressing (or should I say, helping) their former instructor. Another of Beryl's former student appeared who was now a swordsmith. A change of pace to the usual mainly girls appearing as his former students. But near the end, it turned out that it was just a calm before the storm. The girl in the end appeared in the ending song as one of those close to Beryl. But it doesn't look like she was one of his former students. Then again, she used fire magic to distract him while pickpocketing. So could she be more attuned to magic than swordsmanship? I haven't read this part of the light novel's second volume, so I'm not sure. Maybe it's best for me to remain in the dark on this one or treat it as its own.

journal entry #2019

That's a lot of Youtube shorts to watch, if I'm being honest. And all of them were imagines — again. Why am I doing this, anyway?

Went out to go to the grocery. I was also supposed to head to the market to buy something else. But I decided not to since it was about to rain. And I was right.

Started adding divisions to that last blank journal. I think I reached half before I stopped.

I should really stop installing and uninstalling coloring apps on my phone if I'm not going to let it stay on my phone. I really can't settle my mind on this one.

This might be a crazy writing idea that I ended up thinking for "Letters To Sunrise". But can I actually write entries each day for that story? I mean, even though it would only contain 4-5 sentences per daily entry... How in the world would I write daily entries — regardless of the length — that's worth five years? Seriously! Gosh! This is just some craziness I ended up thinking as a writer that still can't write daily. What the heck?

But honestly, I really should start writing or I would completely lost the momentum. "Show up even if you don't feel like it." Was it really that hard to do? Urgh! I really feel like smacking my head a lot for failing to show up to any of my writings.

Sunday, May 4, 2025

journal entry #2018

First Sunday of the month. On the next Sunday, it will be Mother's Day. And honestly, it looks like I won't have anything to give her again this year.

Just finished adding divisiona to that journal notebook. I know I should be using that as a journal. But I think I might have to switch to a smaller one once I filled up the other 3 blank ones. The last two would be used for the stories.

Went out to head to the market since we need to have some ingredients needed for dinner tonight and tomorrow.

It's like I didn't do a lot of writing this week, huh? That's just something I ended up realizing, for some reason.

Yup. Watched more imagines and some other random videos on Youtube. As if anything would change if I don't do anything about it. Urgh!

By the way, I might have to add divisions to that last blank journal notebook, as well. I still don't have a concrete plan on that journal notebook's usage. But I knew I have to use it, one way or another.

It actually rained hard today. Kind of crazy to see this when it's still supposed to be hot season. ☹️

(episode comment) from old country bumpkin to master swordsman episode 2


So this episode mainly focused on Allucia's backstory and how she became a student of Beryl and what happened after she left the dojo. Well, that was some story right there. But seriously, she noticed it. Even the instructor at the other dojo could tell the talent that Beryl has when it comes to swordsmanship. Allucia used his teachings that allowed her to rise to the rank of Knight Commander of the Liberion Order. How come he couldn't? And then he met another of his former student Ficelle who has now known for her sword magic. Funny that she really used what he taught her before to rise to the ranks, as well. But she seemed to have treasured her time in the dojo if it came to the point that she used the knowledge she gained there and incorporate it in her magic. And then there's Ficelle's boss who decided to test him, I think. Seriously now? Anyway, she sure looked like crazy enough to do something like that.

(silent vlog) just a short life update


I don't have much to say about this, to be honest. I even forgot to put on any music. Seriously, what the heck is going on with me? This is my first time in a while to post something here and this happened. Was this supposed to be a good thing? I don't know. But I won't think about it that much anymore. I just want to do this again. And maybe... Just maybe... Finally talk in front of the camera without feeling scared or anxious. I really want to do that.

continuing on ongoing ones and starting a new one


The Too-Perfect Saint Episode 3: Philia takes in new student. Not that she had one to begin with, of course. And it turned out that her student named Grace was related to the previous Saint of Parnacorta. Didn't know that. But maybe I just haven't read that part yet in the light novel. Anyway, at least she was doing well in that department. Now she had more people to communicate with other than the ones in the castle. She was learning a lot more about how life should be normally, even for her as a Saint. But because of the teachings and the treatment imposed on her, she never really realized anything like that at all. But what the heck? Now the kingdom that sold her wanted her back? It's obviously that jerk of a prince who was making this happen. Like what Prince Osvalt said, it was some kind of a joke. Now we'll see how Philia will take this.

Shirohiyo: Reincarnated As A Neglected Noble Episode 3: Well, Ageha's parents were worst than I thought. Even that guy Sebastian. Like what the heck? Trying to even kill a kid who had no idea of what was going on. Gosh! Anyway, maybe it was for Ageha's advantage that he regained his past life's memories. Not to mention, I'm still questioning how did he realize that Regulus would kill him in the future --- possibly out of spite because of what their father would tell him over time. Then again, who knows what really transpired for that to possibly happen. Adults in that world were seriously manipulative. At least, Ageha have adults that he could trust in one way or another. One was even a Designated Imperial Hero, at that. Even a goddess was by his side just in case. So I think Ageha would be fine. Now let's see what would happen now that Ageha allowed Regulus to remain by his side to teach him things.

From Old Country Bumpkin To Master Swordsman Episode 1: So basically, Beryl was never aware of his own capabilities as a swordsman to the point that when people point it out to him, he would just downplay it. But the people around him knew very well what his capabilities were. Especially the ones he taught before. At least he was given an opportunity to become someone he should be, as the others had always thought of. Now it's definitely up to him. Of course, he has to deal with his former students fighting and bickering just to get his attention and stuff. Honestly, that would be tough to deal with.
