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.


I finally got to watch the first 2 episodes of Watashi No Otto To Kekkon Shite — which is the Japanese version of the webtoon and K-drama Marry My Husband. I've been waiting for this ever since I saw the announcement and also because I'm a fan of the Korean version. Haven't read the webtoon, just so you know. One thing that I can say about it — it went faster than the Korean version. Then again, I understood that since it would be shown in 10 episodes. I can already see the differences in terms of cultural aspects and also the one thing that slowly brings Misa and Wataru close somehow. The proposal part was something I didn't expect to see in the first episode, by the way. I thought it would be around Episode 3 to 5. But I guess this is one of the changes they made since I did read that it would be a retelling/reimagining of the Korean version with added Japanese culture and aspects. Anyway, at the moment, I'm treating it as something separate from the other version so that the comparison happening in my head wouldn't be too much.

I finally thought of a title for that fantasy story about a male webnovel and a female foreigner. I called it "16 Letters", in reference to the letters that the FL would write to the ML of the webnovel she was reading. This was also talking about the number of years that the webnovel lead pair had been together — but as friends and each other's confidante. I'm actually thinking of making it a bit longer and make the title "24 Letters" instead. Not sure if that was even a good idea. πŸ€”πŸ˜•
