Friday Drafts

Watching it with my fellow fans made it more exciting and beautiful. This was the exact thought I had in mind after the show ended.  My sister and I went to see SMTOWN LIVE last Sunday. At first, I was hesitant to go because I was too tired from practice and barely slept the previous day, but my sister had pushed me and she was right all along.  I brought my cheering weapons, my first two ever lightsticks ever since I became a K-pop fan! The Neobong and Leekbong. My sister held the WayV light stick while I held the NCT one. I was so happy that I was able to wave it like a regular fan before others can use it for NCT127's concert this Sunday. The fans were so  ecstatic whenever any SM artists show up, but the room explodes every time NCT members appear on screen.  My sister and I after the show ended. As a K-pop fan, having my favorite group's light stick makes it all different! I was so proud of myself to be able to buy these two at the same time.  I am looking ...

Photo Not Mine Credits to:  https://letterpile.com/creative-writing/a-scary-love-story It was the end of summer in 2010. This experience barely left my mind despite years have passed. The shadow man on the mango tree continued to be one of the scariest encounters I have ever had. I was spending a normal summer afternoon with my younger nieces in our balcony. My grandfather's house was the best place to spend the afternoons because it was surrounded with fruit trees and bushes creating a magical facade. My nieces named Micah, Zocelle, Alyssa, Tisha, and the youngest was Ayana, all ranging from 4 to 9 years old. I usually watch over them whenever I'm outside and they all love to play on the lawn especially under the mango tree my mom had planted when I was in 3rd grade. I was talking with my sister at the balcony while having the entire view of the lawn and the mango tree when a chicken suddenly dropped dead from the branches. My nieces noticed it and began to flee from the lawn....

  There is something special about this song. I thought being a fan of J-pop and K-pop is just a phase but realizing that I have been a fan of this culture for years shows how big and important they are to me. From KAT-TUN to NCT 127, I have grown a lot and I have encountered and listened to different kinds of songs. Kanseito is one of the most listened songs in my list. I first heard it from the movie Control Tower which starred Yamazaki Kento, which later on became my all-time favorite actor. I knew the movie was released way before the time I watched it, but it is one of the most impactful movies I have watched, noting the storyline was very simple, the writer of the movie was smart to leave it with an open ending. Control Tower - Movie Trailer Anyway, going back to the song, I like this song very much because it tells about how a person dreams about the future, how dreams can be big yet small, close to do but so far to achieve. Whenever I am down, I always listen to it to remin...

I first started reading fan fictions when I was in high school and I was captivated by the limitless scenarios one could imagine for a character. A lot of people may have a different impression (mostly negative ones) regarding fan fictions, but it does promote creativity to the writer. Sometimes, it is so difficult to find a certain muse or a model to base your characters with, especially with names, that I always end up using my favorite celebrities names to keep the story going.  Some fan fictions may include a lot of sexual stuff, but there are so many writers who aren't fond of it. Instead, they write fan fictions to express themselves, to inspire others and even to investigate a crime scene through the story. I personally tell that I am into teenage angst and romance kind of stories which tells the untold. Anyway, I'd just like to share my new blog here. I am currently working on a story feel free to check 'Writer's Notice' there. New Blog Here:  https://fanfi...

I am sure that people who knew me have already heard about Cheska. Cheska is an 11-year old ghost who seemed to have followed me ever since we moved out of my grandfather's house. Ever since I was a child, I never felt lonely despite being alone in my room for most of the time, and often times, my mom would catch me talking to myself.  I clearly don't remember that until when I was in 6th grade that even my homeroom teacher was creeped out by my own actions. She would find me staring at the window during recess, talking and smiling on my own. I couldn't blame her though, I was definitely weird when I was younger. I first found out about Cheska when my roommate and I moved to a house back in 2018. The house wasn't good: no sunlight and air isn't ventilated there so it's always humid and suffocating. The house is always dark. My roommate usually sleeps during the day and wakes up at night for her graveyard shift. She told me to leave the lights open in the kitchen...

People my age tend to worry about having to start a family, a stable job and a man to complete the dream. Many same-age friends worry about it, but I never did. I get to question myself about it to but the thought of it horrifies me. Just like the title of the post, I thought of things that bothers me a lot. I find these things very trivial yet so important to keep me at peace. The older I get, the more picky I become. I tend to worry about the kind of rice I buy, the coffee brand, and even the angle of my calendar that I randomly placed on top of my wi-fi modem.  When I meet people, I check their nails to see if they are long enough to scare the crap out of me or not. When I meet someone on a date, I pay attention to their height and their talking voice. When I meet with friends, I always find a reason to not go and get angry if they are enjoying without me. I always ask myself why do people move so slow when I'm in a hurry? Why are clubs so noisy? Why do people really prefer to j...

August is terrible. I always believed that August is a cursed month, so does February, but I do think August has the worst. Money is really scarce in August, despite working so hard and earning so much more, it's just not enough. This is the month that no matter how much I save, money will not be there for me. It's so hard that its making me depressed and unmotivated.  There are things that I am thankful of about August though. I was able to have myself enrolled at the university and met my old friends. But that's just it. Maybe, I'm okay with having to experience the life I had a few years ago when I was still broke. To be honest, I am still broke and will continue to be broke until I die. Also, I hate August because NCT 127 is going to hold a concert in Manila. I have no means to purchase a ticket nor plane tickets. I wanted to go with my sister, but money is nowhere in sight. Though, I always knew that it's not the time for us to see them live.  I just really hop...

Welcome to the new fur family, Georgie & Parker! I went to school to get myself enrolled for the next semester. I can't believe I'm going to be in my 3rd year in college now. I never thought I'd be able to reach this milestone but hey, praise the Lord! I did hope to see one of our teachers in the campus and I did not expect that I'd be taking home to cute kittens. Parker and George, two male kittens around 3 months old, were given to me. Compared to Kyoko and Tohru whom I renamed as Haru and Clementine, were easy to tame. They were lovely, but Parker and George are a bit challenging. They were stray cats and pretty hard to earn their trusts. George is a lovely cat and easy to approach but a little bit sensitive when it comes to food. It saddens me knowing they didn't get much food as they needed when they were still at school. Parker is the aggressive one. He was the one who bit me and scratched my hand. I had to cut their claws a little bit to get rid of the po...

Being surrounded by friends nowadays, keeps me going. The pandemic has really affected my relationships with people whom I have been so close with for years, making us go back to zero. Some relationships have been awkward but some are pretty nice. Being a university student when I'm nearing my 30's can have it's pros and cons. I don't have much tolerance with childish acts and irresponsible attitudes, however, most of my classmates were all very responsible and conscious with the world we are currently living in. They make me want to have fun and be young (despite being young still). I haven't had fun since the pandemic and it took a toll on me. Also, I was able to reconnect with people whom I haven't talked to during the pandemic and decided to have fun during the vacation. Of course, it was fun but very tiring. I am currently preparing for a dance competition which will be held next month. There are three groups under my management, 2 of them are quite depende...
