I've been thinking quite hard if I'm going to give faces/visual inspirations to the (spoiler ahead) ten Vessels of the Heavenly Spirit Guardians' Powers. I'm currently in the process of writing Episode 9 and about to write the full versions of Episodes 5-8 of the story.

【reading blog】What I Read In July 2021

Five books! Can you believe it? And it's just this month. Maybe for the others, it's not that much. But for me who had put reading on hold for quite a long time, it's important. I guess I have to blame the nonstop monsoon rain for this. And probably because of the reading challenge I participated in. That's not a bad thing, right?

In any case, I'm glad I got to read this much in one month when I can't even finish one book in a month before. Here are the books I've read this month, though forgive me for the short comments on each of them as I forgot to actually write a longer ones on paper as soon as I finished reading them.

Relationship Described: Raisaki Amuro and Hoshiyama Erika

Yup. Itsuki would definitely throw a fit. But even when Amuro declared himself as Helen's partner due to a certain oath he made, it could be seen that these two began developing a bond that was unexplainable at first. Even when a certain truth about Erika tha truly shocked them was unveiled, he stayed by her side and protected her when he was aware that Helen doesn't need his protection. He became close to her that he ended up forming another oath when he knew a tragic fate awaited Erika and Helen at the end of the Vessels' mission to defeat the Tareans.

Bio: The youngest of the core five Seitenger, Erika is Itsuki's younger sister and a pianist whose musical talent could surpass that of her father's. She is gentle, caring, and determined. Being in the constant protection of her brother, she never actually developed a sense of independence. But she later gains the courage to face her life the day she was told of her destiny as a chosen Vessel. Her Hasureiki allowed her to manipulate sounds which she used to deliver soundwave attacks even in her civilian form and change her voice even without the aid of a voice-changing device. Upon becoming SeitenLight, she gained the ability to wield light-based attacks and increased the power of her sound-based attacks tenfolds.

【personal thoughts】The Sunday Currently | 34 |

This is one noisy Sunday, if you ask me Then again, I guess every Sunday around here is like that, whether I like it or not. In any case, I still have a lot of things to do, so I might as well start doing this. Those things had a lot to do with writing, anyway. There's journal writing and continuing a story update that I should've posted yesterday, but because of some laziness and other outside factors, I didn't get to do it. It made me decide to create a new posting schedule so that I could keep up somehow.

In any case, we'll see what will happen if I'd be able to actually do it. For now, let's just start writing what I would call a weekend update.

So this Sunday, I'm currently:

【episode comments】"A Tale Of Thousand Stars"

 

Why am I writing an entry about this, by the way? If I'm going to be honest, I don't know, as well. But I've had this urge to actually do this since last month. Sadly, I only got the time to do it today. So here I am.

And yet, instead of doing an episode by episode entry like before, I preferred doing it this way. Or you could say I decided to do it this way. Maybe because I just like to keep it short, if I can. Or maybe I'm just too lazy to even write entries per episode. Procrastinating is really not good for me who's struggling to deal with it.

Anyway, back to the topic. It's been months since this series finished airing and I'm still having a hard time letting go. Not only because of the storyline that caught my attention since I first watched the trailer, but because of the fact that this was the first BL series that I watched without skipping. Okay, it's the first BL series I watched. Period. I have to say that it was a game changer for me in some ways. Even my writer self got affected by the story, somehow.

Series Plot:

A volunteer teacher dies in a tragic accident, in which her heart is transplanted to Tian. Through a series of diary entries, Tian learns about her life, her secrets and interests. Including her promise to Chief Forest officer Phupha, about counting a thousand stars with him. Tian then decides to follow in her footsteps and complete her dream. With Tian a new volunteer teacher, he attempts to befriend Phupha. Yet Phupha gives off a cold exterior. Slowly the two grow close, but Tian's heart beats fast around the forest officer. As he starts to fall for him, much like its previous owner did. But with the area being dangerous, can they keep their thousand-star promise?

【personal thoughts】The Sunday Currently | 33 |

Okay. I know I missed writing and SC entry last Sunday for one reason -- I slept before I could even stop myself. I mean, I didn't realize that I actually fell asleep. I guess I was too tired to even notice it. Anyway, since it happened like that last week, I have to compensate for that by writing an entry tonight. And I have to do it while I'm still in the mood to write something and while I'm still awake. Hahaha!

So let's go!

So this Sunday, I'm currently:

Something that never fails to make you feel better.

• Chocolate
• Wafers
• Marshmallows
• Reading
• Writing
• Love songs

Should I consider it weird? Maybe not. But since I was in college, these are the things that always have ways to make me feel better. They may be quite light things (or petty should be the word -- or not), But I love them all the same. I'd actually rather eat or read or write than dwell on negative emotions too much. Not to mention, I've always been an over-thinker, which is obviously not good for me at all. So I needed to think of ways for me to calm myself down when I don't feel good mentally or emotionally.

So for my future significant other (if ever he would actually come into my life), this is one thing you got to consider about me. Or least that's what I'm thinking. Then again, we'll see.

Something that you miss.

The days in which I just write stories with no care about the future or the outcome of the stories I write. I just write because I want to and I love to share it to the world. I just write for the sake of putting down the ideas that linger in my mind on paper. At the time, I write whether or not they would love it or not. Or at least, I chose not to pay attention to it.

Another thing I miss even those are the times that the idea of love and falling in love was still so beautiful to me. Regardless of the rejection I got and getting friend-zoned a lot, it was an ideal feeling for me. It was how I've been able to write romance stories, no matter how far-fetched it would have been for me at the time.

The things I miss might be intangible, and perhaps it would have been too much, as well. But at this point, I couldn't help it.

Things you would like to do with your significant other.

You got to be kidding me. But hey, that's what the prompt had asked, so I might as well get on with it. Maybe one of these days, I'd actually be able to make it happen,

• Hiking and watching the sunrise with him. Not in a snowy area, though.
• Just enjoy a leisurely walk by the seaside hand in hand.
• Cuddle and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate while watching a series/movie.
• Dance outside, preferably slow dance/waltz.
• Pass on letters and love notes to each other from time to time.
• Get to sing love songs to each other.
• Take photos of our beautiful and even random moments together.
