Hobbies in WIP.

I'll be featuring 2 of my WIPs here.

(1) For "Project Memories", the FL liked to play her flute as a way to clear her mind. But only a few people actually knew about this. As for the ML, he REALLY liked reading -- a lot. This is his way of clearing his mind and also to help him focus when it comes to his divination.

(2) As for Project 23Y, the FL -- at least at the start of the story -- could be seen watching the sunset by the bridge. It was her way of making sure that she was still going down the path that she set to herself after her mother quit being a detective. The ML usually focused on photography during his free time -- mostly in his day off. Then again, he never thought that he would cross path with someone who would soon become a special person in his life because of this hobby of his.

What books have inspired your writing?

For PROJECT MEMORIES, it was actually the Wattpad story-turned-published book "Wizard's Tale". Well, at least part of it. The concept actually came from a writer friend @azelphr and we were supposed to have a collab on a fantasy-romance series that she had thought of, but didn't get to do it. But I just want to continue writing it. And this is actually the first book of it. I'll just tell her about this story once it's done. 😁✌️

As for PROJECT 23Y, there is no book that inspired me to write this. What inspired me were TV series. The Japanese drama "Himitsu no Hanazono", Korean drama "The Girl Who Sees Scents", American drama "Cold Case", and its Japanese remake "Cold Case: Shinjitsu No Tobira (Door of Truth)". But maybe I can find books that could give me inspiration and clues on how to write a crime mystery story.

Beast Knights 8 - House Leaders And Beast Knights

Chapter 8 - House Leaders And Beast Knights

Right from the start, Yuri and the others could already tell that the island where the Kingdom of Esovia was located was truly mysterious and strange at the same time. However, Conrad had a different perception about the place now that he had seen it again after a long time.

Something was different.

(one-shot) To Be With You

 

There were still a lot of things to do. Iyon ang nasa utak ni Lynne ng mga sandaling iyon habang nakatingin sa makulimlim na kalangitan. Pero sigurado siya sa isang bagay. Walang kinalaman sa mundong kinalalagyan niya ang kanyang isipan.

Then again, it wasn’t like she had anyone else to blame for that. It was her choice to think of that place. She made a choice to think of him, of all people. It was a crazy choice for others. Pero sa sarili niya, alam niyang tama lang ang ginawa niya.

Hindi niya gustong kalimutan ito. She wanted to remember him a lot. Miss him a lot. And perhaps… love him even more than she had ever loved anyone in her life. She made that choice, kahit na hindi siya sigurado sa totoong kahihinatnan n’on.

【silent vlog】when i just want to use my voice somehow...

I mean, we all have that desire, right? In our own ways, we wanted to be able to have the voice to convey what we truly feel. Even when, at times, having that kind of voice leads us to more pain and suffering. I only wanted to be able to help others in my own way. And maybe someday, I'd be able to find my own voice to truly deliver the words I wanted others to know. 

Beast Knights 7 - Meeting And Familiarity

CHAPTER 7 – Meeting And Familiarity

"Yuri-kun? Shori? Murata-kun, too?"

"Mari-san? Is that really you?" Yuri could only ask in disbelief and also because he had to make sure that what he was seeing in front of him at the moment was the truth.

That the identity of the cloaked warrior attacking them earlier was none other than Yuri's mentor on Earth and one of Shori's childhood friends, Akiyama Mari.

But the young woman's initial response was a burst of short laugh, as if relieved, followed by a wide smile that only confirmed Yuri's suspicion that the cloaked woman was indeed his mentor.

Just So I Could Post Something

Yes... And I'm doing it after a long while of not doing so. It's 11:28 PM already and I haven't even written in my journal. But I think I can do that tomorrow -- if I would just recall the things I did today. My head's not functioning well right now. Or should I say, my brain.

Okay, that was a mistake on my choice of words. Sorry. 😅

Anyway, I still don't know what else to do with this blog, if I'm going to be honest. I still love writing and I also love writing my thoughts, especially those that I could never blurt out to anyone. Well, maybe not every thoughts since there are some that I would consider very private. So I still choose the topics that I'd like to talk about here.

Since I don't even post a lot in any of my SNS accounts that much, maybe I could pay attention to this. That's not even hard, right?

WRONG!

Now that it came to this, I was thinking for a while of going back to writing my book comments and series/movie reviews/thoughts. I could do a lot of them -- especially the series ones since I was able to watch an entire series lately. It's been A LONG WHILE since I last did that. I think the last one I did -- at least, writing a series review as a whole -- was when I wrote a review on "A Tale Of Thousand Stars". And the last review I did for a series in which I would write comments per episode would be about "Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger". And to think I've only written reviews for, maybe... 2-3 episodes? I still have to check since I'm writing here without checking my previous posts.

That's not a bad idea, right?

【silent vlog】i've never become who i wanted to be...

Random thoughts placed on clips that I took ages ago while we were on an out of town trip to La Union. 😁✌️ But if I could convey more of my thoughts this way, maybe I should do this more often. And maybe... Just maybe... I could show myself more this way. But I guess it would be better if I convey my thoughts more using my own voice one day. I have to do a lot of practice to show up in front of the camera without feeling scared or cringey or even anxious about the whole thing.

Beast Knights 6 - Entering Esovia

CHAPTER 6 - Entering Esovia

It appeared that their calculation about the island's location was accurate. On the fourth day of their travel, they finally spotted the island that matched the description in Lady Yunsoo's journal and that of Conrad's. Of course, it was expected that the brown-haired soldier would surely had mixed feelings about all these. But then all they could see was a nonchalant expression.

As Murata described, it was a perfect cover-up for all the emotions surely lurking in Conrad at the moment as soon as they saw the island. The island looked ordinary, but even Gwendal and Wolfram could tell that it was lurking with mysterious powers. Perhaps that mysterious power was what had kept the island moving for the past 4 millenia.

Beast Knights 5 - The Journey To Esovia Begins

CHAPTER 5 - The Journey To Esovia Begins

It didn't take Yuri and the others that long to prepare for the trip to the island where the Kingdom of Esovia was located. In fact, during the whole two days of waiting for the trip to finally come, Yuri couldn't stay in one place for long because of anxiety and excitement merged together. He would constantly go to the library or borrow some of the archives from the Shinou Temple to learn more about the Beast Knights and the Esovian Mazoku.

Murata wasn't lying when he said that the information about those people were scarce. Yuri couldn't tell if it was just out of luck that the priestesses or even the Daikenja was able to obtain records with regards to the topic.
