This is definitely one of my favourite IFs at the moment; I’m greatly anticipating what the story has in store! Love your work.

I’m curious on what ROs’ parents are/were like! Like their family backgrounds.

Spoiler Minefield. I'll give you a little something though. (Dark disturbing themes up ahead. Please be careful.)

Montholon Family

The Montholon family once ruled the four lands of Vathilia with an iron fist, but their reign was marked by greed and destruction. Artilius, born to a Chamberlain maid, witnessed his mother's tragic suicide due to the lustful advances of a powerful man who couldn't be satisfied with the countless beauties at his disposal.

Princess Alora Montholon, daughter of the empress, was caught in a compromising position with her own brother on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony. To save face, she was forced to marry her sibling, as the emperor believed a woman couldn't rule the country. The title of Crown Prince was bestowed upon Artilius, tasking him with producing an heir for the country of Nasmar.

Valenzuela Family

The Valenzuela family is part of a long and storied line of Zeniths, ancient beings born from the remnants of gods and goddesses. As such, they possess otherworldly abilities and a unique loyalty - they are bound to serve whomever sits upon the throne, without question or hesitation.

Valenzuela y Espert reclaman a municipios que eliminen la Tasa Vial

El diputado José Luis Espert visitó una estación de servicio de Villa Bosch, en Tres de Febrero, junto a Diego Valenzuela, uno de los pocos intendentes del conurbano que no cobra la Tasa Vial. “¿Cuál es la contraprestación que le dan al vecino que paga la Tasa Vial? Nada. Muchas veces se utiliza para pagar sueldos pero no hay contraprestación al vecino”, señaló Espert. Y sostuvo sobre Valenzuela:…

Fernando Valenzuela (1960-2024), Ace Pitcher and Global Ambassador

Malcolm Emmons-USA TODAY Network. On October 23, 1981 in Los Angeles, the Dodgers found themselves in an all-too-familiar spot: on the short end of a World Series tally against the Yankees. Down two games to none after the first leg of the series in the Bronx, they needed a win at Dodger Stadium to maintain any real hope of a comeback. Fortunately, they had an ace up their sleeve in Fernando…

Virtual Reality Meetings Cause Real-Life Traffic in Manila's Cyberspace

Virtual Meetings Gone Wild: Manila’s Cyberspace Gridlock is No Joke Okay, buckle up Manila, because this is not a drill. Forget EDSA traffic, it’s got nothing on what’s happening in cyberspace. Virtual reality meetings are causing legit, honest-to-goodness gridlock, and it’s time we had a serious (yet hilarious) talk about it. In a turn of events, Manila’s virtual realm has become a mirror image…

[The Keihancarl Diaries: June 2, 2023]

Hello everyone, Keihancarl here. I should’ve done the week right after POF 2023: Shizen, but for some reason, I ended up going to my hangout place instead. Anyway, this is my third mall-hopping trip since the pandemic, my second for this year. And where am I going? Manila, of course, with stopovers in SM City Valenzuela and SM City Grand Central, ultimately skipping Ayala Malls Cloverleaf due to time constraints.

I feel like wearing something more comfortable, but still in line with my typical layered outfits. And that’s how I decided on my olive yellow shirt and black baseball shirt combo, the one I’ve worn on the third day of POF 2023: Shizen.

I really wanted to leave the house as early as possible, and I don’t want the heavy traffic along the way to ruin my mood. Well, I ended up leaving the house a little later than usual, and I have to deal with heavy traffic towards my first destination.

I decided to take an alternate route, this time, passing through General Luis St. and MacArthur Highway, instead of Quirino Highway and Mindanao Avenue. It took me two hours to reach my first stop, SM City Valenzuela.

A lot has changed since my last visit to the mall, almost 8 years ago. The mall itself had a makeover, the wavy hallway was converted into a straight one. The former bowling center became the Wellness Zone. Cyberzone opened at the third level, with the cinemas at the end of the hall. There was a tenant reshuffling, resulting in some shops transferring to other areas or floors.

The SM Store on the second floor, opened in 2018, is quite smaller in terms of space, but still managed to fit almost everything in there. I also checked National Book Store and I saw an interesting comic, though I bought it at another branch in SM City Grand Central, which was my next stop.

I reached the mall around 2:00 in the afternoon, and I couldn’t wait to check the entire mall area. The mall appeared to be quite massive though some areas are occupied by major anchors. Anyway, I visited both bookstores in the area, Fully Booked and National Book Store (where I bought the comic), as well as the Surplus shop. National Book Store’s space was incredibly small with fewer books and more office, school, and art supplies. I might be wrong about that, though, as it occupies around 4 tenant spaces (the enclosed space currently serves as the bookstore’s store room).

The fifth level was well adorned with fake greenery, making it look like a faux garden area. The wooden elements throughout the mall gives it an even more premier feel, given the mix of tenants there.

One can see the view of the Caloocan City skyline, along with LRT Monumento station. Too bad, there’s no overpass going to the other side of the station, but they’re probably working on it.

I then proceed to my next stop, SM City San Lazaro (making it the third SM mall visited in a row). As always, face masks are required to board the LRT and MRT trains, with guards reminding the passengers to wear one before entering the station. Reaching the platform, I decided to buy a stored value ticket, and add a little more load to it. I took the LRT to Tayuman station.

Reaching my next stop, I can see that SM City San Lazaro’s signage was updated, though it retained its green façade. I went inside the mall and checked a few shops, as well as taking a late lunch at Tokyo Tokyo, which is a gyoza donburi bowl. I then checked the rest of the mall afterward.

Next stop, the Binondo malls (999 Mall, 168 Mall, and Lucky Chinatown Mall). As soon as I got there, I immediately head to the stall where I previously bought all of my Attack On Titan and Tokyo Ghoul shirts. I managed to buy not one, but two shirts: a black Jujutsu Kaisen shirt (featuring Yuji Itadori) and a beige Naruto shirt (featuring the main trio Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura). After that, I checked a few more stalls and then moved on to the nearby 168 Mall.

At 168 Mall, I decided to check the stall where I bought my anime posters. It looks like a lot of K-pop merch have dominated the stall, with only a handful of anime merch (mostly posters) on display. At this point, I decided that I’ve already bought enough stuff (and spent a lot of money on the items I’ve bought so far) so I head to Lucky Chinatown Mall.

Inside, the LCM West Wing (Cityplace Square), a milk tea shop, a yogurt shop, and a bakery opened at the ground floor. There’s a display at the West Wing’s atrium. At the bridgeway to the main mall (North Wing), there were colorful lanterns with drawings and messages in them. I decided to take a break at the cinema level, and sat down on one of the armchairs, which replaced the upholstered ones (like the ones on my previous visits).

There was the Summer Cravings Market at the Prosperity Wing, with food stalls set up along the walkway.

It was starting to get dark as I made my way to my next stop, SM City Manila. I took an e-trike to the renovated underpass near the Manila City Hall.

Along the way, I saw the newly opened bridge on the eastern side of Jones Bridge (west if coming from Lawton) and the recently fire gutted Manila Central Post Office building. I wasn’t able to take photos, unfortunately, as I was seated next to the driver.

The Lagusnilad underpass was closed for repair so there’s a slight traffic in the area. It looks like the top dome and the clock of the Manila City Hall was painted in gold.

The pedestrian underpass had a makeover, as there are historical-themed murals on it. The Books From The Underground had already reopened as well. Also I noticed the Baybayin writing on the directional signage, which was really nice. I then proceeded to SM City Manila.

Arriving at my next stop, I only checked the book shops inside the mall. It looks like there were some faux greenery on the stairs. Uniqlo has opened at the former NBS space, and the bookstore transferred on the lower ground floor, at the former Surplus’ space (the Surplus store had since moved to the upper floor, not sure if its the second or third floor).

It was already dark when I decided to board the LRT to UN Avenue Station. Getting off, I took some pictures of the controversial Torre De Manila (with the lights on) and checked Times Square’s retail area. Booksale had already closed, replaced by a printing shop (I think).

I decided to check Rizal Park first, stopping for a moment to take photos of the dancing fountain, and head towards Roxas Boulevard.

Of course, I decided to take photos of the Rizal monument, and I manage to take at least one photo where the monument itself covered the hideous residential tower behind it. I’ve already done this once, about eight years ago, using my very first smartphone.

Walking towards the Baywalk, I managed to take a glimpse of the area, and later, the Dolomite beach, which is only seen from the footbridge, as it is already closed at the moment.

I took some photos of the Dolomite beach and then proceed to my final stop, Robinsons Place Manila.

I didn’t check any of the shops at the mall, though I noticed some improvements. The escalator area at the former fountain is closed for renovations, and in some parts, the tiles have been replaced with new ones. I decided to have a fried mandu meal at Bonchon Chicken before heading home.

I immediately took the UV Express to SM Fairview, and the traffic situation is light in most parts of Taft Avenue, España Boulevard, Quezon Avenue, and Commonwealth Avenue. Of course, I have to deal with traffic at North Fairview and Regalado Avenue (near SM Fairview). And that’s how my day went.

So far, it’s been quite an experience, having visited four SM malls in one day (including SM City Grand Central), and 8 malls total. I manage to squeeze all of the destinations in a twelve-hour trip, though I lost more than a hour getting stuck in traffic. Will I experience the same thing if I took the usual route? Anyway, at least everything went well, thanks to my lucky charm.

I suppose this concludes the #FourWeekendPlan, as I managed to proceed with the last minute plans for a mall-hopping trip. Well then, I should plan my next mall-hopping trip, preferably somewhere that’s reachable by MRT Line 3.

That’s all for now. Keihancarl out.

Most of the pics (including mall-based photos and selfies) are from my private Instagram account, @kcox105. The pictures of the Manila City Hall, Rizal Park, Baywalk (Dolomite Beach), Torre De Manila, and the Lagusnilad (both vehicle and pedestrian underpass) are from my official account, @kcox_105.

Por qué la magia de Fernando Valenzuela debería asegurarle un lugar en el Salón de la Fama

El Toro. Ese fue el apodo que los fanáticos le dieron al lanzador de los Dodgers, Fernando Valenzuela, al comienzo de su carrera. Los toros son un símbolo de virilidad y hombría en la cultura hispana, y el Toro (de constitución robusta, resistente pero elegante en su ataque) manifestó ese temible animal durante la mayor parte de su carrera con el Blue Crew. Muchos escritores (incluyéndome a mí)…
