FINALLY!!! RESEARCH DEFENDED RAGHHGG I CAN NKW WRITE MORE MIGUEL CONTENT WITH NO WORRIES ANYMORE

[rkxjongsuk]

Final Post ||

I spent most of yesterday evening and this morning just kind of mentally processing the actual closing of rookies after seven years. Seeing the amazing plans that would have come to fruition makes me a bit sad but also kind of happy that rookies ended where it ended. Thank you to the mods for prolonged effort to keep this rp running as long as it did and I am glad to have been here as long as I was. 

I first joined rookies six years ago on the 15th of October, 2014. 2014 and subsequently 2015 had been a chaotic formative years for me. At the time, I was in my third year of college, constantly questioning whether or not I should be doing my degree, watching my parents get divorced in the summer of 2015 and moving out of the house where I’d lived for twelve years. Rookies (at first through Sungjong in October and then through Kevin in March (03.04.2015) and Kris in April (04.29.2015)} was a writing escape and somewhat of a comfort. Over the years at rookies, I have grown, graduated from college with a business degree and ended up completely a different person then I was five years ago.  

My writing improved a lot and I can confidently say that it was mostly thanks to Rookies. I had been completely scared off writing after an English teacher bitched at me for my skills but thanks to rookies, I got more confident in my own skills. Sure, there’s been other rps before rookies and at the same time as rookies, but they had never lasted quite as long. Through the years, I have made some incredible friends through rookies and I am glad to have them in my life. You guys are genuinely the best and I’ll always love you. I have no intentions of ghosting any of you and hopefully, we’ll write again together somewhere else. 

Now, onto what everyone actually wants: rkmuses future and taking in the ideas and everything set out by Bianca in account, where they would end up?

rkxjongsuk: the trc vocal king, easter bunny, princess diva of youtube fame - formerly rkkevin 

I know I always used to say that I wanted him to debut the most since he’s my oldest muse,  but in all honesty, he would have never fit in the idol bubble. Going off the ideas set out by Bianca, however, his future would have been pretty satisfying. 

He would have ended up staying in TRC (since he had signed his contract for the second time back in may) and debuting as part of the rkmonstax group with the other trc boys in early 2021 (most likely as their main vocalist). Jongsuk would have felt pretty accomplished by this, and had been ready for the idol life. However, he was not ready for the rules and restrictions that would come into play with the group.  

he’d always had a kind of laissez faire approach to everything and so the idol life is kind of shocking to him. it wasn’t what he’d fantasized it would be. so, jongsuk would probably become the first member to officially leave the group before their six-year contract would expire citing personal difficulties and mental health issues (three years and a bit after debut) 

During those three years with the group, however, he’d make a name for himself as the King of OST. He would have gone on to King of Masked Singer (making it to R2 and shocking everyone with the high note octaves), gone on to be one of the trainers on the Voice of Korea partnering with Dynamic Duo, and make multiple appearances on Immortal Songs (a la Kyuhyun). Simultaneously, he’d also be collabing with idols across companies, most notably fellow former mga 3 contestant Gyeoul of And*Roma and Jiyeon of HEARTZ. 

Upon his departure from the group, he moved back to San Francisco and resumed his Youtube life and career. He would still support the rest of the boys, as an international fan and would always buy up a lot of their cds to support and tell his followers to stream. However, being back in his element, Jongsuk would feel a lot more relaxed and a lot more comfortable. 

A few months after his return home, he’d gain a collaboration with Smashbox or Morphe for a makeup line and he’d release an eyeshadow palette, two lipsticks and three eyeliners with the branding Smashbox x Stark: Rave on Mad (an homage to his youtube name: starkravingmad). He’d most likely send it in packages to his best friends in Korea. Jongsuk would find success in other fields outside of music and delve into what made his channel tick and what made him the happiest.  

Eventually, I think, he would have found love (maybe in the form of another tall actor who was in school 2013 with him) and been a happy youtuber, taking constant new challenges all over the place and always stepping to his own beat. 

As for his friends, he would have definitely gone back to Korea for Kangjoon’s eventual wedding and Jiyeon’s eventual wedding as well. The invites to visit him in San Francisco, California would have been extended to all his friends and even in his busy schedule, he’d always find time to show them all around the city that he’d been born. He’d even always be happy to see his former groupmates if they came on tour to California and would always be the first one for the backstage/VIP passes. 

rkxrm: the kt chaebol, nsg’s main rapper and actor extraordinaire - formerly rkkris, rkkmh, minhyukxrk

namjoon had always been the unwilling debut, since I honestly never saw him actually debuting before jongsuk and instead, here we are. he’s the established idol. 

With NSG’s debut having just happened, he would probably stick around as the rapper before KT began shoving him into acting everywhere. Most likely, would have ended up as leader of another subunit (maybe?) in the future putting that leadership expertise to the good use. After the first two successful comebacks, he would have gone into acting officially with the first main role on a web-drama as Cha Gihyun on A-TEEN. 

His charisma would have definitely shined and stolen the screen time since he’s a former actor already. Following initial drama success, he would have tried his hand in modelling and endorsement, with Honda and Skool Looks. He would have gone further in modelling and acting, eventually becoming more known as the actor Kim Namjoon than the rapper of nsg. 

He would have had his share of crazy fans (mostly noonas, pretty girls and drama grandmas) and even probably taken the top bias spot for quite a few people when they would have found out his past. Of course, during the course of promotions (I envision this would happen during Regular-Irregular promotions), it come to light that he’s an actual chaebol (he’s never hidden it but netizens think this is a big deal) and the heir to Kim Securities with a former Canadian award winning actress as his mother. It also comes to light the dysfunctional family dynamic that he’d always had with them.  

It caused some hardship between him and his family but he had the support of nsg behind him (his ride or die brothers and family) but in the end his family did began treating him a lot better and he eventually gained their support. 

He would have stayed with NSG all through their first contract, but probably wouldn’t have renewed and most likely would have either gone to acting agency where he could focus on acting or go back to that chaebol life and actually fully embrace it as a future heir. 

In terms of his love life, he would have officially asked Jiyeon to date him at the Halloween party and they would starred in a few dramas side by side (Cinderella and the Four Knights being their first). They would kept secretly dating and eventually after their mutual dating ban was over, would probably reveal it in a cute couple shoot for Ceci or Dazed and Confused (like E Dawn and Hyuna). After Joon would have left NSG (post contract non renewal), he would have probably still kept acting and modelling alongside Jiyeon. NamYeon would have been a lot like the Rain/Kim Taehee acting and visual power couple. 

He would have definitely still kept in close touch with the rest of nsg (since they’re like brothers) and even with all his former kt friends, loving the time that he had spent in the company. 

rksxngyeol: nova’s artist, the mangaka 

sungyeol had been an incredibly refreshing muse to write. he’s always been someone who actually doesn’t want to debut and he just wants to draw. i initially got him because minhyuk (joon) and jongsuk were getting really exhausting.  

there’s not much to say about sungyeol’s future. his contract with nova would have expired in november and he would have left the company on his own terms with the two years behind him. he learned a lot during those two years at nova and even realized a lot about himself. 

following his contract expiry, he would have asked his boyfriend (myungsoo) to move in with him over christmas with a key in a box  attached to a black butler keychain. if the other said yes, then the new year would have kicked off with the duo moving and cooking together and spending time with each other. 

sungyeol would have resumed drawing manhwa and mangas, combining his webtoon comic into a more professional looking five volume manga series with the same title. eventually he would have gotten an anime deal again and even a live action deal on his works (if your muse would have wanted to be in the live action of the Princess’s Sword, go for it). That would have propelled his family to actually recognize him as a talent and he would have been reinstated into the family. 

This would have led to myungsoo officially meeting Sungyeol’s family. His parents would have loved him to bits and his grandparents would have been iffy on it, but  his grandmother would end up dying three years after of heart attack and his grandfather would have followed her a year later of old age. 

After having dated Myungsoo for about five years, Sungyeol would have proposed to him and they would have most likely gotten married on the beach while on vacation somewhere warm. (we love a happy ending ;.;)  Also, he would have moved into a bigger house and brought Haebin with them so that they could be a cute happy family. 

Eventually, he would have come back to work for Nova as a producer and creative direction artist under Wendy as CEO (if that would have happened), and if not, he would have taken over his family’s company despite the lack of education and simply learned on the job. (Can I say that he would have been Myungsoo’s sugar daddy at some point even though they would be married or engaged at this point???) 

Thank you for reading to the very end and I love you all. Let’s stay friends and meet again in another rp.

The most victorious happen in my life.

I Shane S. Regala, 19 years old I was born on March 17 2000 in East Aveneu Hospital. In my elementary I studied in Pasong Tamo Elementary School when i'm in highschool I studied in Tandang Sora National Highschool and I graduated there the junior high school and then I transfer in STI munoz for senior high school and I take there is technical vocational course which is restaurant and bar operation but i did not finish my course because I bullied and suddenly I transfer again in Quezon City University and i've been taking there is Accountancy Business Management and i've finish there the senior high school. In college I transfer in National Teachers College and for now i've been taking Bachelor in Secondary Education major in T.L.E.

In my family I am the youngest and I have one sibling which is my older brother, he's name is Russell Regala he had finish Information Technology in Montesorri College, he is already 24 years old and currently working in B.P.O company. My father's name is William D. Regala 45 years old currently working as security guard in motor shop, he's school attained is high school. My mother's name is Gina S. Regala, 46 years old and her school attained is highschool currently working in hongkong as a domestic helper.

For now me and my brother are usually in the house because my father is staying he's job sometimes. We usually eat in fastfoods but in weekends we eat always together in house because my father is always going home every weekends. We watch movies together while eating some snacks with our two dogs their name is raven and pachuchu.

Good life star in being a good student and having a better life with my family. Make them proud in my achievements in life. Being a good student have many responsible and aiming high to achieve their goals in life. Their goals are the inspiration for their achievements

The most victorious happen in my entire life when I was senior hight school. Me and my groupmates in business plan and research we finish together before we graduate.

Business plan and reasearch are different so our general manager decided to make our group divide in to two so we can do the business plan and research both and I was assigned in business plan.

While we're doing that it was very hard without fighting because some of my groupmates is lazy and the other making gossips about me and worst our general manager is one of the lazy always absent so her secretary and me are the only working for our thesis. If I gave them work they dont do and they will work on it when the they of deadline and if I will angery to them they will backstab me. The day of our defense I gave them reviewer even our thesis is dont finish. They dont review the thesis suddenly we dont pass the mac defense. After that I dont care anymore in our thesis and I talk to my professor what happening in my group my professor talk to my group and after that they do what I gave to them and we had a open forum so we can understand and know what is the problem in each of us. After that the final defense day we passed bacause we wont fight anymore and we help each other.

After so many problems, projects and requirements we graduated together. The day of the graduation I was late and my father is the one who attend my graduation and we eat in buffet and watched in cinema. That day is really the most victorious and happiess happened in my life.

The 9Spies Heist

Part 4 - Previous Part / Masterlist

(A/N: It’s been a really long time since I’ve touched this series?? BUT IT’S BACK!! It was a bit weird to write a chapter of a series - instead of a stand-alone scenario - but I hope you’re as excited for this as I am! Enjoy~)

    “You will all have a month for your first mission,” Zhang Yixing’s voice filtered through the high-tech stereo system of the TV set. 9 pairs of eyes were all concentrated on their boss’ face, not wanting to miss a single detail of their very first assignment. The tension was palpable – none of them knew what to expect.

    “Onto the specifics. Our main rival agency – SM Spy Academy – is currently storing a majority of their profits in iQiYi Bank. I trust that you’ve all heard of the impeccable security system the bank supposedly has in place, and I also don’t doubt the diligence of that protection. SM doesn’t take chances with these things,” Yixing paused, a contemplative expression on his handsome features, before he continued, “Break through into the central vault – SM’s vault – which is housed underneath the main bank, and take their profits from right under their noses.

    “Use whatever resources you want – other agents, labs, databases, the like. They’re there for a reason. Your one month starts tomorrow. Make me proud, Nine Percent. Make. Me. Proud.”

    With that, Zhang PD cut off the video conference, returning the screen to the previously paused game of Mario Kart. The cheerfully familiar soundtrack played in the silence of the room, each of the boys lost in thought about the call that had just ended.

    Calling the mission big would have been an understatement. It was huge. iQiYi had a worldwide reputation, and previous attempts to break the security system had failed miserably, even by the most established of teams. To ask Nine Percent, a rookie team, to hack it as their first mission? That was just insane. Some would even argue that it was borderline suicidal.

    Despite that fact, however, the sheer scale of the task ahead of him filled Linong with a sense of burning determination. He had to prove to everyone, especially to himself, that he belonged here in 9Spies. That he could contribute, and that he could carry his weight among the best of the best. If he was given the opportunity to be a part of the team that finally took down iQiYi’s unbreakable security system, then he would be damned if they walked out of this mission with anything less than every penny in that central vault.

    The central vault, which also just so happened to be the main cause of a lot of his problems at that moment. Although iQiYi in itself had a formidable reputation, he knew the central vault stood in a world of its own. Linong had heard countless myths about that very vault – from its alleged iris scanners to chip IDs implanted into the wrists of trusted employee’s wrists. He hoped they wouldn’t hold true, though. Things would get a lot messier if they would have to kidnap someone to gain access. 

    Of course, that was granted they could even get into the main hallways of the bank – beyond the tellers and the lines of people waiting for a withdrawal. Which brought even more questions to the forefront of his mind…

    “Why can’t we just break into the other parts of the bank? They’re bound to have way more money than just SM’s. Plus, the security won’t be nearly as tight as it will be in the central vault.” He asked, breaking the tense atmosphere among the group of spies.

    “Nongnong’s got a point. Wouldn’t that be much easier, not to mention more profitable? It’s a large establishment.” Zhengting agreed, along with a good majority of the others, who were also nodding along. The team lapsed into silence again, deep in thought as to why their boss would send them on such a roundabout mission.

    “Feel free to correct me if I’m mistaken… but didn’t Yixing PD use to work for SM? Maybe this his way of getting revenge. There are a lot of questionable rumors about why he left and started 9Spies. Not to mention that he would also be taking out some of the toughest competition. Spy agencies need a lot of cash to stay afloat, after all,” Xukun pointed out. Well, that made sense. Personal vendettas tended to cloud judgement sometimes. Or maybe there an ulterior motive behind it all? It didn’t matter much anyway, they already had their mission. They just had to carry it out.

    “Right. Well, even though the time doesn’t technically start until tomorrow, we should still get a head start on it. Linong and Zhangjing – you’ll lead the research. Search through the databases and grab anything you can get your hands on about the bank. Blueprints, camera locations, security specifics; the more information we have, the better. We’ll need to know the whole building like the back of our hand if we want any chance of succeeding here.

    “Yanjun, Zhengting and I will scope out the surroundings and accessible interior of the location. It’ll be good to figure out where our escape routes are, and we can use that knowledge to double check the integrity of the blueprints we find.

    “Lastly – the other 4 of you are on demo. Go wild and build us some smoke bombs and those camera blockers that Linkai is so fond of. I would rather we not blow the building or our cover to smithereens, but you can never be too sure of what we’ll need. I’d rather have too many bombs than not enough. From some of the rumors I’ve heard, the central vault might as well be able to survive a nuclear blast, so we’d better bring a bunch.

    “Let’s trick our way in if we can, but this is iQiYi – not to mention SM – that we’re dealing with here. If things end up going south, we can always blow shit up and run for it, cool? It’s a wonder that SM even has any money left to stash into the vault after paying the no doubt hefty sum it probably cost to rent it in the first place, but let’s drain that vault dry!” Xukun analysed, to the cheers of the others.

    Linong had known from his previous actions that Xukun had the charisma to take charge in situations, but it was clearer than ever after his spiel why he was chosen as leader. If he had half as much walk as he did talk, their team might actually stand a chance against the seemingly impenetrable security system iQiYi boasted after all.

    With that, the team split up and went back to their previous activities. Ziyi and Zhengting headed into the mini kitchenette (which Linong had just noticed), presumably to whip up something light for lunch; Yanjun and Xukun left the common room for who knows where in this godforsaken maze of a building, and the kiddos barring him resumed their previous game of Mario Kart. Zhangjing led Linong over to his wall of computers, and the duo started their job of digging for information on iQiYi’s security. Considering the whole team had just been given a huge mission, the dorms were looking… strangely normal?

    Seeing everyone hang out so nonchalantly, so domestically, brought a smile to Linong’s face. They were like a small family. A family that he was now a part of, despite having met them just over an hour ago. They were in this as a group, for better or for worse.

    “Hold up,” Linong blurted, something just having clicked in his mind, “What about my stuff? It’s all still at my place. And what am I going to do about school? I still have a couple weeks before I graduate…”

    “I have time if you want to pick some stuff up,” Zhangjing offered. Linong felt a sudden surge of gratitude toward the elder. What had he done to deserve such awesome groupmates?

    “And don’t worry about school. You’re a senior, right? Zhang PD’s probably taken care of it – you’ll just have to show up for the graduation ceremony. You don’t have to think about it, at any rate. So? Should we take the jeep this time? There’s no need to freak your neighbors out even more by showing up in the limo for the second time today.”

    As Zhangjing talked, he led Linong through the building and to the garage where he had parked the limousine earlier. This time, however, they climbed into a nondescript grey van instead of the sleek vehicle from that morning. The neighbors would have definitely gotten suspicious if they saw him getting in and out of a limo. He didn’t exactly have that kind of money. They filled the ride with more small talk, and the elder waited in the car as Linong headed into his house to throw some stuff into a ratty old suitcase he found at the back of his closet.

    Figuring he could always buy more clothes in the future; or possibly even steal some from his new teammates, he grabbed the essentials and left the rest. He would find time eventually to come back for everything else. Snagging his beat-up laptop for nostalgia’s sake, he bid his room of the past 17 years goodbye and clambered back into the jeep, ready to start the next chapter of his life in earnest.

Nani the heck is this? Read here!

Chapter 8: They call me Mother

What happened during the in between time of move in day and the 1st day of second term? Total. Fuckery….This is the last chapter in what happened in those 11 days.

It’s day 7 and it’s a very important day! Robo-dog is going to be activated for the first time. I wake up very excited to start my day that I didn’t care about the dumb shit happening behind me in the boy’s bathroom while I did my routine. I played Japan by Famous Dex ft Keith Ape and Verbal and danced while waiting for my detox mud mask to finish drying. 

“Woah Palma-san contain your ass!” said Kirishima.

“Oh sorry yall! I’m just so excited for today! My project is ready for activation and test run. My group mates just finished it last night and asked me to come over after breakfast.”

“Project? must be pretty important if you’re this excited.” said Sato drying his hair.

Iida walks in shirtless and he’s peeling and a bit red.

“Oh dear you really are burnt Tenya” I said cringing at the sight of the skin flakes on his shoulders.

“Yea I don’t understand! I was wearing sunscreen and everything!” he said aggressively chopping “are my precautions just a joke to the sun!”

I start wheeze laughing “I can’t believe you’re cursing the sun!” I said as I wiped my tears “never thought I’d see the day were you curse the space orb!”

All the boys stop and stare at me laughing so hard that I was in tears. They all thought it was the most genuine thing to ever see a girl do.

“Here, I have something that will help” I say as I take out 2 bottles of product out of my personal care caddy “This is aloe vera body wash and this is cooling aloe vera gel. Put on the gel after showering with the body wash to stop the peeling and reduce the redness. It has a neutral scent so you won’t smell feminine or anything.”

Iida looks at the products and uses them in his morning shower. When he got out, Ita already left the bathroom.

“Now that Palma-san is gone, way to go Iida!” said Kaminari “You and her are finally getting causal with the first names, proud of you big guy!”

“We’ve been on first name basis for months now, it’s just how she likes to be addressed.” retorted Iida.

“Ok but what’s with the whole lending products?” Sero said with a sly look.

“She just knows how to soothe a sunburn! she’s a very knowledgable person.”

“Just the other day I asked her how do I get rid of a bruise and she told me to stop being a little bitch and suck it up. No advice or remedy prepared and handed to me.” said Midoriya 

“Yeah I was there! I high fived her and laughed, she’s so funny!” said Bakugo with a smile.

“Well...”

“JUST ADMIT IT! She’s showing you care and favoritism because she likes you” exploded Kirishima “what are you waiting for Iida-kun? Claim your girl!”

“I’m working on it Kirishima! I already set the day and have the note ready but..”

“But what?!” said the boys in the bathroom.

“I’m just afraid that she’ll say no and I ruined the good thing we had together. She’s still hurting over the life she left behind.”

Meanwhile, I was happily getting dressed and drinking my coffee. Everyone at this point knows why I’m so happy and excited and wished me luck before heading out.

“Ok, You two ready?” asked Jin, putting on his safety googles.

“Ready!” Mimi and I say, also putting on safety googles.

“Term 1 project: Robo-dog, ready for initial activation!” Jin dramatically says as he flips the switch on in the robot’s mouth.

The small robot started to twitch it’s nose and tail before opening it’s eyes. They glowed brightly for a few seconds then dimmed to a soft glow.

“Hello, are you my creators?” spoke the robot.

“Oh my goodness! Yes, yes we are your creators! I’m Jin Matsui! I made your frame and intelligence.”

“I’m Mimi Oleshin, I made your extendable features.”

“And I’m Itati Palma, I designed you and made your fur coat, after my beloved pet, Mr. Muffins” I said tearing up because I miss my sweet little muffin.

“Oh! then is my name Mr. Muffins?” 

We look at each other, Jin spoke up “Is that what you want to be called?”

“Yes! Because Itati looked nostalgic when they talked to me, I want to be Mr. Muffins 2.0″

“If that’s what you want, then so be it. Happy birthday Mr. Muffins 2.0 and welcome to the world.” Jin said as he held our hands like a proud father.

“Thank you Jin, what is my purpose?”

“We created you to be a security dog for the homes and families of working Heroes. You are made for security and comfort along with the potential to be a personal tasker.” said Mimi.

“We built you with weaponry and expendable arms to protect and assist. Your data and any saved information gets sent to us via cloud storage. And while we created you, we aren’t done perfecting you so we may add more commands, settings and weaponry over time.” I said.

“Do you have any questions for us Mr. Muffins?” asked Jin

“Yes, am I first of my kind?”

“yes you are, but we hope to make another in the future.”

“Who am I assigned to protect?”

We look at each other, this robot really through us in a loop with this one.

“Who do you want to protect, out of the three of us?” asked Jin.

“I can’t say, maybe all of you. Since you’re a family unit. Jin is the paternal figure, Itati the maternal figure and Mimi the neutral figure.

We start to tear up because we didn’t really think of it that way but we felt very unified. We decided to take turns with testing out the robo-dog, starting with me because I was in different dorms. Therefore, I can test out the security features better than the other two. I teleport Muffin 2.0 and I to the hero dorms to introduce him to the others, I had to have some fun with it!

“Oh you’re back! how did it go?” asked Shoji.

“EVEN BETTER THAN I THOUGHT! I want to introduce yall to him!”

Everyone gathered around and saw the very life-like dog, wagging it’s tail at my feet.

“AH! SO CUTE!” squealed the girls and Koda.

“Yall, this is my term-1 project, Robo-Dog. We designed him to be a home security device for the homes and families of working Heroes.”

“This little thing is supposed to protect a house?” said Bakugo scornfully “Looks like one good kick and the intruder has it’s way.”

“Actually, I’m too heavy to be kicked over. I weight 86 pounds” said the robot.

“Did that thing just talk!?” screamed Mineta

“Yup! This puppy is built with artificial intelligence. Why don’t you introduce yourself to everyone?” I asked the robot.

“Gladly! Hello, my name is Mr. Muffins 2.0 and today is my birthday. I am assigned to protect my creators and I am the first of my kind.”

Everyone was floored with how well it spoke. Kirishima looked uneasy.

“Question for the creator, What if it turns against you and kills you?”

“Well I guess I’ll let it kill me because look at his little cute face!” I said petting it’s head “My groupmates and I are going to take turns testing out it’s features before the term starts. And before you ask, yes I have full permission to have this robot in our dorms.”

Everyone went about their day as I played around with the commands in my room. 2 days pass and the hero course goes to take their licensing exam. Not to my surprise, Bakugo and Todoroki didn’t pass and we all teased them that a lizard did better than them. The events of the Midoriya and Bakugo fight unfolded and the opening ceremony started. I was in block formation with my small class. Even though we didn’t need to, we wanted to look more distinguished by being in formation and having group chants when we see other departments to flex on them. I spot Mirio, Nejire and Amajiki, I remembered our little run in and my suspicion of them snooping into my file, I hatch a plan to go investigate. I find Midnight in the staff room with Nezu after the ceremony.

“Hello Midnight, principal Nezu.”

“Oh Itati! What a pleasant surprise, come in!”

“Thank you, I wanted to talk to you about something I have a strong suspicion in.”

“Oh? What or who does it involve?” asked Nezu.

“It involves my school file information and these 3 upperclassmen that have been seeking me out for the most of term 1.”

“3 upperclassmen? Do you know their names?” asked Midnight

“Yes actually, Togata Mirio, Hado Nejire and Tamaki Amajiki.”

“Those 3? actually, now that I recall, Nejire and Amajiki sometimes help out in the records office during their free period.” said Nezu.

“That’s right! but why are they targeting her? She’s just a first year and her file is incomplete. It only has her country, briefing of her asylum, quirk catagories, program, last name and list of languages spoken on the cover page. Everything else after is test scores and medical records.” listed Midnight.

“What could they get from that to seek her out?” said Nezu in deep thought.

“I’ve overheard them in passing that they want to convince me to become a hero because of my rumored abilities and the information about me ‘saving’ my school from a gang attack. They think I’m at my free will to change programs but I really feel like I’m getting cornered because they finally did a few days ago when I went on a personal shopping day.”

“What did they do?” Midnight asked a little worried.

I told them what happened and what question they asked me and how I answered them.

“That is unsettling but I am glad you didn’t give them the full truth to protect yourself and gave them the slip to get to the dorms safely.” Nezu said proudly

“Thank you and that’s all that’s happened so far, if anything else happens I will let you know.”

“But what about your file?” asked Midnight as I stood up to leave.

“keep it incomplete until they graduate, if they try to see it anytime after that, its a federal crime.”

“That’s possible but that also means you can’t move into the correct dorms until then.” said Nezu.

“then so be it, I just don’t want them to know more about me.”

I leave and walk out of the building thinking how I was going handle all this? Then I hear somebody calling me from behind me.

“PALMA-CHAN! PALMA-CHAN! OVER HERE!” it was Nejire, f u c k

“OH hi!” I said turning around. I see the other 2 boys were with her, triple f u c k.

“Come spend time with us! We’re going to get takoyaki!” she said jumping excitedly.

FUCK THEY GOT ME WITH THE FOOD BRIBE! “Um ok! teleporting over!” I thought I might have some fun with this if I can stretch the truth and throw them off.

“Wow thats fast!” said Mirio “Hi Palma-san, its been awhile.”

“Umm hi your hair looks- g-good today” said Amajiki looking down “and your socks are cute, pink is your color.”

I get flushed and the other 2 noticed, Nejire gets a look in her eye that I don’t understand.

“Yea you’re such a cute one! don’t you think so, Mirio?” she said stressing the last part.

“uhh yeah I agree hehe” he said blushing and giving Nejire a ‘cut it out!’ look.

“Come on lets go get some food! I’m starving!” she said grabbing my hand.

We get to the place and I get to be alone with Amajiki as the other 2 ordered, he looked like he was gonna pass out.

“are you ok?”

“I’m-finee” he said shakily “I just get nervous around people I don’t know well, especially somebody as cute as you.”

I tried to change the subject because I was NOT about to be involved in a fucking love triangle with upperclassmen, FUCK. THAT!

“Oh hehehe, sooooo what is your quirk? if you don’t mind me asking?”

“oh it’s Manifest, I can copy the ability of anything I eat as long as it’s in my digestive system.”

“That sounds so interesting!” I said as the other two came back with the food.

“Yea, watch this” he said eating a takoyaki “oh jeez its kinda hot.” But then after he swallows it, his hand turned into a cluster of tentacles.

“Oh my goodness! thats so cool! may I- touch it?” I said oogling at the sight.

“Um sure” he said letting me trace the tentacles with my finger. He gets flushed as I gently touch his transformed hand. I get a sinister idea, I want to test out this quirk for myself, so goal of today is to copy the quirk and take it to the dorms to see what I can transform into. Only thing is to find a way to touch his face without it looking weird. 

“Oh sorry, I’ve lingered too long on your hand hehehe” I said as I retracted my hands from his.

“Mirio has a cool quirk too” Nejire said as she took a bite of food.

“It’s not that cool but I have Permeate, I can phase through anything, watch.” he said as he phased his hand through the table we were seated at.

“AH! that’s wicked! I like it.” I said thinking, that’s a quirk I want to test out too but I need to get close enough to these boys without getting found out or catch feelings. “may I- put my hand through yours?”

“sure! here.” he said holding his hand out so I can phase my hand through.

“He can do that with his whole body too! But at the end he’s naked because he phases right through his clothes!” said Nejire not knowing how embarrassing that fact really is.

“Nejire! you’re embarrassing me! she didn’t need to know that” Mirio said blushing hard.

We had good conversation and I was think on how I was going to touch his face or what reason I was going to put in to have me touch his face. Suddenly I felt the wind pick up and some leaves and small debris were being pushed by the wind. There was my excuse! If I could discreetly levitate a leaf onto his face while the wind was blowing, I have means to touch his face! I barely got it right and I got a slightly damp leaf of his face.

“Oh Amajiki-san, here let me...” I said as I reached over and brushed the leaf off and wiping the dampness with my thumb with my hand resting on his jaw. I looked at his eyes and he started trembling.

“Oh um thanks Palma-san” he said diverting his gaze away. 

“The wind is picking up pretty quick, we should get going” said Mirio standing up.

I say my goodbyes and teleported out. Meanwhile the 3rd years were walking home and trying to figure out what I told them.

“She seems to be opening up to us!” said Amajiki “told you inviting her to some food was a good idea!”

“Yea! Did you see how handsy she was getting with you two?!” Nejire said stirring the pot “she seems to like you Amajiki-kun”

“What! no, she’s just being nice” he responded “she likes Mirio from the way she look at him when he talks.”

“You really think so Amajiki? Because I was thinking maybe I ask her to be my girlfriend.” said Mirio confidently.

“For real Mirio?! You’re going to ask her?!” Nejire screamed with a twinkle in her eye.

“Yes! I really like her and maybe having me as her boyfriend will convince her to become a hero too!” said Mirio pumping his fist “next time I see her, I will ask her and make her feel special!”

Meanwhile, I was at the dorms eating random things to see how the quirk works. I tested it out and I can maintain the quirk for 4 hours but after it wears off, going to the toilet is awkward and disgusting. I go to bed hoping I don’t need to get my stomach pumped because I ate weird shit. School starts and we presented Muffin 2.0, we got the best grade in the class. Diya sensei asked us to present it to the board later in the term, we agreed. We got into blade work in weapons class, Jin is surprisingly really good at using blades. 

-Hero 1-A classroom, before I arrive-

“She’s going to arrive any second now! How are you feeling Iida-kun?” asked Kaminari.

“I’m getting very nervous.” said Iida as he took out a medium sized box out of his bag with shaky hands.

“You can do it Iida-kun! Theres no way she’ll say no!” said Uraraka.

“Ok, I can do this!” he said getting up and making the slow and shaky walk to her desk. Everyone is waiting in suspense because it’s less than a minute until class starts and Palma-san hasn’t arrived yet and Iida is still making his way to her desk. Before he could reach to her desk, Aizawa started class and he ran back to his seat. 

“Ok class lets get started, we have some upperclassmen coming in to talk about the internships I mentioned yesterday.” He said as the 3 upperclassmen walk in. Before they could introduced themselves, I teleport in.

“OOF SORRY I’M LATE I-” I say in a panic as I pan to the 3 upperclassmen and think F U C K they know that I’m one hero class now.

“Perfect timing Miss Palma, please have a seat” said Aizawa “why don’t you introduce yourselves?”

The 3 upperclassmen introduced themselves and the girls turned to me when they heard Mirio’s name. Their expressions were a mix of shock and amazement that one of the BIG 3 was my person of interest. When they mentioned that they wanted to demonstrate their abilities on the class, I raised my hand,

“Yes Miss Palma?” asked Aizawa.

“Since I’m not under the hero course rubric to be in an internship, may I opt out of this activity?”

“Yes you may opt out, you may be excused.” said Aizawa as he wrote up an excuse slip for me.

“Thank you sensei, have fun everybody! Remember the finishing moves we practiced!” I said getting up and heading toward the door.

“Palma-chan! Join us for lunch in the patio later!” said Nejire.

“Oh uh alright, see you then!” I said as I walked down the hall to the workrooms so I can tinker with Muffin 2.0 some more. When it was lunch time I told Mimi and Jin what’s going down and they’re on lookout for me, just in case. I get to the patio and see just Mirio and I get uneasy and wonder where are the other 2.

“Oh Palma-san, there you are.” said Mirio as he turned to face me.

“Hi, where are the other 2?” I ask.

“They had to do something internship related, but let’s enjoy lunch together!”

“Um ok” I said sitting at the stone table under the shade “how was your demonstration?”

“It went great! Everyone got a little roughed up but they got the point I was making.”

“oh cool, some of things the hero course does seem really interesting” I said opening my container of fruit salad “but it seems everyone in 1-A is still a bit too underdeveloped to upkeep with these exams and trials.”

“Aizawa mentioned you are demolishing your classmates in spars and strategy tests” he said taking a bite of food “it’s so interesting to see an already powerful student that’ll make a promising hero.”

We have more hero conversation but it’s all praising my power and reasons to be one. I don’t show interest but I could tell he was trying to tell me something else.

“Hey Palma-san, quick question”

“yea?”

“You don’t happen to have a person of interest do you?”

Oh jeez what the fuck is he getting at?! “I do but it’s silly, I know they’ll never see me more than a friend.”

“So you’re single? Why would anybody not ask you out or confess?! You’re like the perfect girl.” he said blushing a bit and diverting his gaze.

Oh shit, I have entered the infatuation zone “Oh I don’t know about all that! I like to think I’m pretty decent.”

“I going to say it! Palma-san” he outbursts as he stood and did a parallel bow with his hand out “will you go out with me with the intention of being my girlfriend.”

Oh what the hell?! I think, If I say yes, I can copy his quirk and practice it and master it for however long we stay together because there is NO WAY we’re lasting longer than 5 months, thats just the dating rule. “Oh Mirio! so suddenly! I-” I say as surprised as I could.

“Please Palma-san, you’ve captured my heart with your beauty and power. I would be honored to have you has my girlfriend and I’ll be your knight and protect you!”

Oh jeez what a load of crap! I want to gag! “Then yes” I said carefully putting my hand on his “I accept this courtship.”

He looks up and gets happy that I said yes, he then sits next to me for the rest of lunch. He walks me to my wing and exchanged numbers. Mimi and Jin elbow and tease me on my acting in the patio, they know that I only said yes for the clout and quirk copying. It’s after school and I get a text from Mirio,

[Hey Palma-san, it’s Mirio :) would you like to walk home with me?]

I scream internally because that’s some cute shit, but I still don’t feel bad for just saying yes for non-love reasons.

[Sure :3 Meet me near the parking lot. See you soon!]

I turn to Mimi and Jin and show them the texts.

“Ahhh! I’m so jealous that you managed to get yourself a man with status!” squealed Mimi.

“At least it’s not that glasses weirdo, he caused you so much stress!” said Jin as he wave commands Muffin 2.0 to follow him.

We get to the front door of the school and I spot Mirio, I say wish me luck as they portal away to the dorms. I teleport to Mirio to start the walk home.

“I can walk you all the way home, I don’t mind walking 5 miles as long as your by my side.” 

“Oh you’re too sweet! I actually live in dorms with the hero class.” I explained the shortened version of the situation.

“Oh I see and you usually teleport to and from school huh?” he said realizing things “how is dorming with boys then?”

“It’s a bit annoying but I made myself clear that I wasn’t a piece of meat to stare at when I use the bathroom in the morning. They always want to sit with them during meals and down time and talk about boy things.”

“If I were there, you would never get bothered.” he said putting his arm around me.

I blush and we just talk about upcoming events and that we should go together to some of them. We get to the dorms and I turn to face him and he does the bow again.

“Thank you for saying yes Palma-san! I hope you have a nice evening!”

“Oh you don’t have to bow to me!” I said lifting his head up with a gentle hand and caressing his cheek “text me when you get home safely, ok?”

“Y-yes! um, bye! see you tomorrow!” he said as he walked away completely flushed.

I teleport in and hope nobody saw me with Mirio. I see everyone still in uniform laid out on the commons room, looking pretty roughed up.

“Oh my god! yall look like you got ran over by a bus!” I said dropping my things and running over to see the damage. They looked pretty bad so I levitated all of  them to their rooms and made dinner. It was the least I could do but I also wanted to try out the quirk in private so they couldn’t bother me. They come out of their rooms to eat, I made them a healthy orange chicken with carrots and green beans and plenty of rice.

“That smells divine! Did you cook this Palma-san?” asked Hagakure.

“Yes I did and there’s plenty for everyone! so dig in yall.” I said taking off my apron.

“The chicken is the perfect amount of tangy and savory! And these veggies are perfectly seasoned!” said Kirishima with a mouthful of food.

“So delicious! Thanks mom” said Sero not thinking what he was saying, but it was too late, everyone heard him call me mom.

“Did you just call me mom? Just for that, yall wash ya own dishes.” I said walking to my room and hearing all the groans and teasing.

I get to my room and start to control the quirk, it wasn’t as uncontrollable as I thought. With this first round, I could maintain it for one hour before I get exhausted. Meanwhile, down the hall in Ojiro’s room, the boys are plotting.

“Iida-kun you coward! Today was the day and you blew it!” said Kaminari.

“The day isn’t over! He can still knock on her door and ask!” said Shoji.

“You know her! She doesn’t like to be disturbed after 8pm.” retorted Todoroki.

“Guys forget all that! Did you see that Mirio guy eyeing her up in class?!” snidely remarked Mineta “he was basically looking at her he knows her.”

“Shut up Mineta he wasn’t looking at her like that!” spoke up Tokoyami.

“BUT did you see how that girl asked her to join them for lunch?! I looked out to the patio and it was only Mirio there with Palma-san!” said Mineta trying to get Iida to reacting.

“I’ll just try again in a few days.” said Iida, ignoring everyone’s input.

“NO ASK HER TOMORROW!” yelled everyone in the room. 

Fast forward to thursday and somehow, everyone knows about me and Mirio being together. We both didn’t care but wonder how people found out. Either way, we just kept doing our thing.

“Hey what are you doing saturday?” I asked on our walk home.

“Hmm I have to do something with my dad in the morning but I have the rest of the late afternoon and evening free.”

“Oh cool! I was wondering if you wanted to go to a party with me, it’s held at a third year intel’s house and they’re having a bonfire.”

“I haven’t been to a causal party before, I might go.”

“Oh ok let me know if you want to go so I can send you the address.”

“Is this your first party?”

“Oh heavens no, even back in America I was getting invited to parties. This party is my 5th party I’ve gone to this school year.”

Mirio starts to overthink when I said that. Was I a popular girl? Was I pity invite? What do I do to get invited again and again? He drops me off at the dorms and goes home. I get greeted by all the girls swarming me.

“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE DATING MIRIO!” they all say in shock. I was unfazed.

“Yea, we’ve been talking a lot since knowing their name but really yall, it’s not a huge deal.”

“But what about Iid-” Mina started but Uraraka and Momo covered their mouth because they didn’t want me to find out what happened. Meanwhile, in the boy’s side, in Shoji’s room.

“Bro he’s not getting up, poor thing.” said Kirishima as they look at a face down Iida on the floor.

“Tch, we warned him that he was going to lose her to somebody else if he didn’t say anything. But way to go Palma-san for dating the number 1 student of the school!” said Bakugo, twisting the knife.

“Kacchan! but it’s true, we did warn you Iida-kun.” Midoriya said gently as he put a blanket on him.

“I have destroyed the thing Iida-san” said Todoroki “I can’t believe you wrote an entire essay to her and she didn’t even get a chance to read it!”

“Come on Iida-kun you have to eat something, here’s some peeled apple and canned orange juice, your favorite.” said Tokoyami holding out the items.

“I’m not hungry, my heart ache is making me immobile” said Iida weakly “just leave me here to perish or until tomorrow for school.” 

“Ok lover boy, how are you going to get over her?” said Aoyama “or are you going to win her back?”

“I wouldn’t dare interfere with her happiness, if he makes her happy then I have to respect that” Iida said as he rolled on his side “I made a promise to her that I’d be sweet and considerate of her feelings and decisions. I just didn’t think she’d be kissing random boys and date upperclassmen.”  

The boys just left him to his moping. The air of sadness lingered on him into the next day. Even I noticed but everyone I’ve asked about it said to not worry about it, so I didn’t. Day of the party comes and I get real excited and did all my chores with visible excitement.

“Palma-san is Mirio going with you?” asked Jiro.

“I’m not even sure, he hasn’t responded to me if he was gonna go” I said while styling my hair.

“Then why are you getting all dressed up?” asked Momo.

“Because I want to, weather or not Mirio comes, I’m going to have fun with my classmates and upperclassmen in my department.”

“I wish I was cool enough to get invited to parties” pouted Mina “and have a boyfriend, you’re so lucky!”

Then I get a text, it’s from Mirio

[Hey can you send me the address to the party, Nejire convinced me to go]

“Ah! he’s going!” I squealed and the girls all squealed and jumped around in my room.

I finish getting ready and I head to the kitchen to chug some water because I know I was gonna be drinking and took the precaution.

“Woah Palma-san you’re lookin’ good” said Kaminari “Mirio is one lucky guy.”

“I don’t think Mirio will be able to keep his hands to himself tonight! Tell me Palma-san, are you going to come back with love marks?” Bakugo asked trying to provoke Iida that was trying not to say anything.

“Mayhaps or mayhaps he’s gonna have them, yall will see tomorrow.” I say before teleporting out.

At the party, everything was pretty chill and Mirio comes a bit late.

“Sorry I’m late, I didn’t know what to wear.” he said nervously.

“Oh don’t worry about your outfit! you look fine, come to the yard! We just lit the fire pit.” I said dragging him to the backyard. We sit with the others around the fire and we talk about dumb shit. Mirio doesn’t talk but has his arm around me as he listens to me talk. Mimi and Jin look at me from the kitchen window and signal me to make a move already. I give them the ‘let me work my magic!’ look and I turn to Mirio to start the magic

“Hey you want to go to the tree over there? I’m feeling too toasty here.”

“Oh sure, here let me help you up.”

I look at Mimi and Jin and they give me the thumbs up because they know what’s gonna happen next.

“Ok so I HAVE to ask, is it true that you get completely naked when you use your quirk? Everyone in 1-A told me they saw your dick and whole ass.”

“They told you?!” he said as he turned red “but yea, I get naked and it’s a bit embarrassing when everyone sees but I try my best to not show too much of my privates.”

“show me” I said so serious and boldly even I was surprised “please?”

“Um ok, it’s only fair.” he said as he looked around to see if anybody was looking and activated his quirk. I saw as his clothes just fell right through him and just stared right at his junk. I couldn’t believe it but I wasn’t going to do anything lewd or sexual. The goal of the night was to kiss him, so I worked up something to go in for the kiss.

“They really do just fall off” I said trying not to look at his junk again “turn around, I wanna see how muscular is your butt.” And this boy does a full spin for me and I just knew he was getting into it. Now for phase 2, keep it pg 13.

“I’ve been working hard for my muscles, want to feel?”

“yes but can you put your pants on? Just trying to be respectful”

“Oh right hehe I forgot” he said as he put his pants on quickly “here get close and feel.”

I didn’t care for the muscles, I just let my hand run until he gave into his temptation to kiss me. Mission successful! He even let a nice mark on me. As the night progressed, I started drinking a bit more and he had to leave since it was nearing midnight. I didn’t remember him leaving or what happened after a certain point but I woke up on the couch in his hoodie. I checked my phone and I have a text from him, when he got home safely.

[Just got home safe. I left some cash in the pocket of the hoodie so you can get a latte in the morning before heading to the dorms. Take care, see you later 💟]

What a sweetheart, I check the pocket and there was enough cash to get myself 2 large lattes and a bitch teleported into the commons room, double fisting 2 large lattes.

“Good morning Palma-san! I see you’re in the best mood” said Sero “Is that Mirio’s hoodie?”

“Yea hehe” I said with so much satisfaction “I don’t remember what happened before he left so my classmates told me he put his hoodie on me and kissed me good bye. In the morning I woke up and he sent me a text saying he left some cash in the pocket so I can buy myself coffee before I head to the dorms.”

“What a gentleman” Bakugo said with a smirk “but show us the damage!”

I took off the hoodie and all the boys hollered at the sight of me with the mix of hickeys, light scratch marks and a bite mark on my ear. I go to the bathroom to freshen up and the boys let me have my privacy as I took a well deserved bath. I had everything where I want them and these next few weeks are going to be interesting.

-End Chapter 8-

<Previous - Next>

[fierydepths]

It keeps happening.

I have too much on my mind again, way more than I can handle.

Yeah I know, I keep doing this to myself. I keep accepting responsibilities that I can’t really handle in conjunction with other existing responsibilities, but it’s so hard to let go of any of them because of the leverage I get from sticking to them.

I pride myself on being a Scorpio sun with a Capricorn moon, and with strong Capricorn blood as well (specifically in Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).

For future reference, coz I keep forgetting: [link]

Sun sign (life’s purpose/destiny) in Scorpio: intensity, willpower, never giving up. “Their primary motivation is real power. Their power can absolutely be of the ‘behind the scenes’ variety, just as long as they have it”.

Moon sign (habits, reactions, instincts, innermost needs) in Capricorn: desire for usefulness, productivity, structure, control. “They need to be respected by others in order to feel secure“.

Saturn (effort), Uranus (egoistic liberty), and Neptune (non-egoistic liberty) all in Capricorn, all promising power and sensibility in those areas.

Also it turns out my Lilith sign (darkness, sex drive) is in Sagittarius, which indicates wildness/excessiveness. But tbh I don’t find that as important, or interesting.

Aaanyway. Time to declutter, again.

School: 

203: I just had my first exam of the sem last Monday, and while I found the first 50 items of the objective part easy enough, the next 10 items were a wreck (buti nga 10 items lang e) coz it was a matching type kind of section between Republic Act numbers and their titles, which weren’t explicitly discussed in class, but were all outlined in the syllabus. The week before the exam, I misplaced my syllabus. :))))) also sobrang binullshit ko yung essay part haha. Also I have a paper due Monday and I haven’t started on it yet. I have 4 more days left.

210: group reporting on Friday (wait shit bukas na pala yun) and while we’re all organized and shit, the truth is that we have zero content. We have plans and stuff for maps and other visuals pero shet naman ano ba talaga ippresent natin groupmates ako nanaman ba gagawa ng lahat sa groupwork na to

214: the most chill class so far, but I think we have assignments and exercises that I haven’t been checking on yet. Pero open notes daw exams so whatever

Health:

So yesterday, I went to St. Lukes for another ultrasound exam, a year after the previous one. The procedure was a lot more comfortable than the previous one coz it was done a bit differently, but it was still awkward. The result came out nearly the same as last year’s, and while my one month long keto diet probably won’t do shit yet, I still kinda felt upset that there weren’t any visible positive changes in my organs (as in may PCOS pa rin ako). I did lose 5 pounds, though. Also both my ovaries seem to have shrunk according to the results, and that kinda worries me.

I’m gonna bring my ultrasound results and food diary when I go for checkup in Tarlac later. It’s 2:30am and I’m leaving in 3 hours but I’m here, blogging, coz I brewed some tea not knowing what specific tea it was coz it was in Chinese, and it turned out to be black tea. So guess whose body clock is reset to a different timezone now.

Also I stopped going to the psych because the herbal shit is supposed to also cure my anxiety. Daw. Idk. We’ll see.

Organizations:

Church: the Music Ministry is so full of drama right now, which really is unbecoming of a church ministry. Issues were aired out, and unpleasantries ensued, and in the end it was agreed that all choir heads (including me) will be required to attend a meeting for the construction of by-laws so that we have a set of rules on paper. Reminds me of my previous workplace where the Ways of Working document kept getting revised to become longer and longer because Everything Had To Be Spelled Out. Why are people like this.

And then we have this signature campaign book that needs to be filled out until sometime in March (shet March 1 na pala ngayon anuna) and out of 100 signatures required, I only have a grand total of 3. :))))

Also my local choir needs a lot of improvement, so I’m gonna have to schedule a voice workshop on March 11. Note to self.

Environment: so my org for zero waste has this big event coming up, a symposium, and last Thursday we as an org were finally able to hold a meeting with the representatives of the schools participating in that event. As Acting Secretary (tbh I was assistant secretary when I started out but the actual nominated secretary migrated to the US and left me with all the load), andami kong kelangan gawin and I am struggling to find enough time for that, given the urgency (I say as I continue to allocate time for blogging. Good job)

Credentials:

Scholarship: wait March na nga pala omg. March to May daw application period sa website pero 2017 parin nakalagay sa deadline field, so I gotta check back often. [link]

I downloaded all the documents on the webpage just now, and I’m going through the guidelines (for the previous application period pero siguro naman pareho lang naman yung hihingin this year diba). Stuff I need to finalize/get ready for:

Chosen course to be taken in Japan

Research proposal (Field of Study form must ”state the applicant’s desired research program in a detailed and concrete manner”) 

Written exam, in English and in Japanese

Interview (”must reveal that the applicant has a clear sense of purpose relating to his/her study in Japan and has gathered information about Japanese universities”)

List of Japanese universities to apply to (maximum of three) + pledge from Japanese professor to advise in research

Attested document certifying that the applicant will graduate from the school

Among other things. #kakayanin

JLPT: now this one I’m not so sure about. While it could give me an extra boost, (1) hindi na aabot yung results ng July 2018 JLPT sa March-May application period for scholarship, and (2) I’m not even sure I’ll make it home from the US in time for the actual exam (July 1). But I applied anyway coz well, you never know. Also either way, I need the guidance and discipline for the scholarahip application. Might as well keep this as an additional goal anyway.

EnP Licensure Exam: both of my parents have their licenses and if I really am set to join them in the field, I might as well apply for a license too. Starting March 11, I’ll be at coaching sessions for the boards every Sunday afternoon.

I’ve already started reviewing para naman hindi ako bokya sa diagnostic test. I’m glad I’ve already taken two classes on GIS previously, and my undergrad thesis had something to do with manipulating open source GIS software, so I can probably rest easy there at least.

Note to self: schedule - March 11, 2018 - May 20, 2018 (8 sessions on Sundays 1-5PM); venue - Richville Hotel, 286 Edsa Crossing, Mandaluyong City (Across Starmall). Boards are on June 6 and 7.

But tbh I’m not even sure I qualify. :)))) I’m gonna try anyway. The application period is already ongoing, until April 20; first step is to apply for cedula.

ICURP: not something to worry about coz I already registered, just need to remind myself:

International Conference in Urban and Regional Planning (ICURP) March 14-15, 2018, Century Park Hotel Manila

Our 210 prof suggested to our class we attend so that we may be inspired to tackle research in the fields of those selected to present. E sakto kelangan ko ng ideas para sa research proposal. 4,500php student fee though. Also, my mom’s one of the speakers so I kinda need to be there anyway.

So ayun.

I think that’s it. So far. God I hope I can breathe easier after this whole mouthful.
