journal entry #2218

I guess I was right when it comes to my red days. I've been feeling weird and a little moody these past few days that I could feel it's about time my red days would come. And I was right. Today was the start of it and it was already painful, though still bearable. Thank goodness. Then again, the pain was only too much because of the cold weather.

Went out to head to the market to buy some ingredients needed for dinner and also fruits that Mama wanted to eat. Specifically, pomelo. Again.

Continued rewriting prompts. But for some reason, I've been doing it a little slow this time. Was I feeling bored to write or even tired?

Deleted some paranormal investigation videos I downloaded on my phone and changed it to watching videos from Project Fear channel instead. Yeah, I guess I can't really stop myself from watching these kinds of shows, huh? If only doing so would help me with my writing...

We had black out for about an hour or more at past 8 in the evening. So yes, I ended up having to wash the dishes using the emergency lights. No other choice and I don't want to leave the dishes like that until tomorrow morning.

journal entry #2217

Started using the second phase of the invisible braces. I mean, it's still okay around the mouth. I just need to be patient in using them since I have to use it for 3 months this time. That means, I also have to buy the one used for the third phase before then.

Managed to continue rewriting prompts.

Watched the entire first season of Fright Club while doing the rewriting.

Went out to head to the market. I kept saying to myself that I should finally be using the gift cards while I was out. But it seems that I can't still make up my mind on what to buy using that. Make-ups were definitely not on the list. But maybe something for self-care? Self-pampering, whatever you call it?

Haven't had rice in days and I just remembered that. Yikes! Sorry. I know it's not good to do that. But I really couldn't find myself eating rice these past few days. Not to mention, some of our dinner doesn't require us to eat rice, anyway. So... yeah. There you go.

journal entry #2216

So today is the official last day of my braces' first phase. Now I have to fix the one I'm going to use for the second phase. Yup, new adjustment to be done and hopefully, this would help me in some more ways.

Continued rewriting lyrics prompts and finally finished the ones from the second notebook. Now I have to rewrite the quotes ones from that second notebook so that it'll be over with.

Ended up downloading episodes of Fright Club Seasons 1 and 2. And also episodes of Jack Osbourne's Night of Terror and the two episodes of Jack Osbourne's Buried Bloodlines. I guess I might redownload Ghosts of Devil's Perch, as well.

I just felt so sleepy the whole day, for some reason. Should I blame it on the cold weather or maybe the lack of sleep? I did sleep at past midnight, though. But, yeah. I don't really know right now.

journal entry #2215

Went out to head to the market. At least my load this time wasn't the usual heavy ones. But I actually nearly fell asleep while riding the jeep heading home.

For some reason, the weather today was both really windy and really cold. Was it starting already? So yeah, I guess it's no wonder why I felt sleepy.

Continued rewriting prompts while watching some downloaded videos. Yes, most of them were related to novel writing. I guess I should really make this a sign or something. Or not.

I think this is my last day of using the braces... at least for the first phase. Now I have to do some adjustments for the one I'm going to use for the second phase. If this is not yet my last day for that, then I'll just have to hold on some more before I get to use the second one. I mean, I have to use that second one for about three months, you know.

Wow... Sentai really is ending after 50 years. I thought it was just rebranding or something. Gozyuger would be the last show to air for that series. Then again, as if that would actually stop me from writing the fanfics and that Sentai series I've been writing for years now. I think I should finish it already so I can finally write the second one, as well. But of course, I still have to write "Operation: Cloudbreak" first before I could start on that second Sentai series since it would be the sequel for that story, you know.

journal entry #2214

Went out to pay my second sister's contributions for SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG. At least this time, the lines didn't take that long to move.

Went to the market after that to buy some vegetables needed for dinner.

My second sistet didn't go to work today, for some reason. Didn't ask why, though.

Still dealing with some more coughs and also runny nose. I think it'll take some more time before it actually dissipates completely.

Managed to rewrite some prompts while watching (or rather listening) to some videos I downloaded before.

Got to pay attention to posting some entries on my blog. Honestly, I think it's about time, you know. But I'd really like to add some other variants of blog entries other than journal entries and even episode reviews.

journal entry #2213

Went out to met up with Papa. He gave us SM gift cards worth ₱3000 (at least the one I received). I'm not sure about the ones that my first and second sisters had received, though. I think my youngest sister and I received the same amount.

Went to the market after that to buy pomelo for Mama and also melon and watermelon for my second sister.

Still dealing with coughs and runny nose, but not as much. I just have to continue taking medicine to finally dissipate the entire thing.

Just watched and rewatched episodes instead of continuing to rewrite prompts. Not sure if I'm bored or just don't want to do other things except sleeping.

Mama made brownies today. She started making them before we left the house for the meet up.

Finally got to add prompts to the photo edits i made two days ago. Still have to make some more to fill the other gaps. Or... maybe I shouldn't anymore and just proceed with what I have already?

I have a feeling that I'd be sleeping again before I know it after this. Gosh! I also had a feeling that once my head hits the pillow, I'd forget to use my braces again. Urgh!

journal entry #2212

Forgot to use my invisible braces again last night. You know, I notice that I kept forgetting to do the most important things in my daily routine lately. Japanese studies, mouth care... Not really sure what's going on for me not to do these things when I know I have to, you know.

My first sister and her son (my nephew) were here to visit. And also to get the things that came from Papa that they forgot to bring the last time (which was last week, by the way)

Still dealing with coughs and runny nose. But at least not as much as it was a few days ago. Of course, I still have to drink medicine to really make it subside.

Went out to head to the market to buy the things that Mama had asked me to buy. And yes, I walked again from home to town. Doing that somehow stops my cough from hitting me, even for just a while.

Continued rewriting prompts. At least I managed to rewrite a lot this time, unlike yesterday. See? This is another of those routines that I would end up forgetting these past few days.

Got to watch the 5th episode of "Moon River" little by little after downloading. Now I can't wait to watch the 6th one tomorrow.

Mama did the laundry today. As per usual, I was the one who had to hung them dry.

Mama made siopao and mami today and my first sister made another batch of ramen for my youngest sister since she wasn't here the first time my first sister made them for us.

[There's another entry after this about a story plot I thought about, but chose not to place it here as I haven't written it just yet.]

journal entry #2211

I just really felt tired and sleepy since I went out twice today.

Just rewatched episodes of the K-dramas I've watched before

Managed to rewrite a few prompts. But couldn't move further since my eyes kept drooping. Guess I can't really stop drowsiness once it hits.

Still have colds, but not as painful as it was a few days ago.

Ended up doing some more photo edits, but I still haven't added prompts in them. I guess I'll just have to add some more just to fill the gaps again. The real problem for me would be writing one-shots for each of them when I still have to deal with this slump. Kind of annoying, to be honest.

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.
