HELLOOO eventhough weve been muts for a while somehow i just found this blog?? anyways i am glad u feel a similar way to me abt like shizuka and nobitas romance i get its CANON and endgame or whatever but i just cannot get like invested in it bc idk shizuka feels like more a prize to be won than anything.?? its weird i know they can do these kinds of canon relationships pretty well (eyes at mitsuo/perman and sumire/pako) but like. idk what i am Saying is im not a fan of how shizuka/nobita is Written most of the time

TO BE FAIR I only kinda promoted this blog once months ago so you must've missed it! It's slipped my mind to do any promo for it again. I'm glad folks agree with me on this however. Famously, I'm someone who doesn't often care for canon/endgame ships but Nobita/Shizuka is a different ball park. It feels bad and at it's worst, it feels gross. I've often stated Doraemon is a series where you can pick and choose your characterization but the choices of where their written well is so small it kind of taints the ship as a whole for me, that I prefer to just ignore it entirely.

The only endgame Nobita/Shizuka that's anywhere near acceptable is what happen in the 90's 'Night before Nobita's Wedding' but if we keep going the Stand By Me route... there isn't ever going to be a future where I warm up to them together.

SORRY IF YOU WERE TRYING TO HELP ME STAY AWAKE YOU SENT THIS RIGHT AFTER I LOST THE BATTLE. well my friend doesn't need my help yet so it's fine.

any ways i just figured out that both the emoji-based ask games i reblogged have this emoji & the other one that was sent so i figure i'll just answer both the attached questions.

💌 - any major changes in your selfship lore over time? if so, compare how it used to be with how it's now. (Lore building)

my mastersona themselves has actually been through multiple iterations since i've been here a while. she used to be just Literally Me and her dynamic with arjuna was mostly just him protecting her because i was having an Issue at that period in my life. then i made this sickly magus family candidate named Saoirse that i barely fleshed out (all i remember is that he was actually kind of like macha but his romance with arjuna happened a lot faster.)

aside from the obvious differences there (macha can fend for herself and machajuna both take forever to thaw because of their personalities), with macha specifically i always planned to have a master that would take longer to become vulnerable than arjuna himself due to how her history in a cult shaped her mindset. i've only added on to it since. the most major one is probably the addition of lore that macha actually had the legendary arjuna as an imaginary friend while growing up to cope, which made her want to summon him from the very beginning of her time as a master.

💌 - How would your dynamic be portrayed? What might people focus on most? Any misconceptions? (Imagine your S/I was canon...)

god. i wonder. the most i've ever thought about how other people would portray them is imagining the cool art pako would draw...

definitely considered "loud one and quiet one but they both have problems: the ship". i think there'd be a 65%-35% split of people who like to do character studies and bring out the angsty parts of them and then people who would just want them to be happy and give them more silly moments. probably a shit ton of pining fics too considering how fucking long it takes!

as for misconceptions, hmm...arjuna himself is often a victim of misconceptions and macha is also a complex character in her own right so i imagine whatever misconceptions would come about as a result of fundamentally misunderstanding the two as characters in the first place. There will be that one guy who portrays them like they're always playing a murder cat-and-mouse game for some reason until Macha's backstory is revealed and they get mad and quit. not that i have anything against these kinds of ships, but that's just not them LMAO

Miki is a 16 year-old girl who is so sick and tired of her admirer. No, she's not the mother of the twirlers in their school band; nor is she a member of their math olympiad team.

She is a sits-on-the-second-to-the-last-row-near-the-trash-bins kind of unextraordinary, and barely passes her math classes.

Her circle could not even help her; a rich kid named Orca, who is as big as his name just because he has a condition (Miki is pretty sure he just eats a lot). That's it. Her circle only consist of a fatso and herself, also a fatso but she's not overweight. Her round cheeks make her look bigger than she is.

How they met was actually a sad, funny story. Freshman year, first day of class, recess time: nanggawas tanan para mupalit ug food sa canteen, except Miki and Orca. Wala'y kwarta si Miki pangpalit; naa'y baon si Orca. Nangayo si Miki, nanghatag si Orca. Mao nato.

Sa kadugay dugay nila nagka-friends, never did they have a problem about getting attention from other people because of their mediocrity. Well, except those occasional bullying they get, pero dili jud sila ang target permi. Ing ana sila ka boring.

Until, one day...

Good night, my crush! I like you so much.

GM. #MikiSalamat #loml

"Unsa ni? Kaor, naa ka'y nadawat ing ani?"

Gipatan aw nako kang Orca akong phone screen, pero iyang mata nipilit ragyud sa iyang duwa.

"Yawa! Paghilom sa Mik bi nagduwa pako," pasuko niya nga ingon.

"Sus banga man gihapon ka uy, tan awa sa ba."

"Aysa," gitago ni Orca iyang character sa balay dayon gibasa ang message sa akong cellphone. "HAHAHAHAHHA yawa!!! Kinsa na Miks? HAHAHAHA"

Gihapak nako siya'g kusog sa iyang bukton unya niuntol akong kamot ug naigo na hinuon akong nawong.

"Agay, litse katambok jud nimo!"

Grabe gihapon ug katawa ni Orca bisan nibalik na siya'g duwa sa iyang cellphone.

"Kinsa diay to? HAHAHHAHA sana all loml," sungog niya sa ako.

Bisan ako, wala kaila kung kinsa to. Pero that night, wala jud ko katulog tungod sa ka-curious nako. Who would've thought magka-admirer pako, karon pa nga graduating nami?

how gin's fem s/o would react when she saw gintoki in his "pako" costume and make up from ep 24?? im sorry but this looks funny in my head jsdhsjshs

This reminds me of part a of episode 111 (w/pako) which is titled 'definitely do not let your girlfriend see the things you use for cross-dressing'.

Sidenote:

(l/n) = last name

(f/n) = first name

gintoki was low on money again and saigō offered a shift at kamakko due to low staff.

naturally gintoki would accept along with shinpachi's help for the sake of getting the money he needed.

he was walking back to the club after saigō had asked him and shinpachi to grab something from the store.

only for his s/o to (tragically) be walking home and passing by.

she's shocked, and gintoki (as well as shinpachi) is beyond embarrassed.

"...did you lose a bet?"

his s/o knows full well this is not something gintoki would do just for fun.

shinpachi immediately explains and gintoki is just standing there silently questioning if this was worth it.

"ah I know this looks weird (y/n)-san! we were just helping saigō-san because kamakko is low on staff."

"ah..haha yeah.. what patsuan said."

his s/o is a little suspicious at first because why would gintoki and shinpachi go all this way to help saigō?

the s/o rarely ever sees the two interact with saigō (if at all).

but it is the only reason for why both of them are dressed like this that makes sense.

the duo's reason is further confirmed as saigō comes up behind them wondering what was taking so long.

she sees gintoki's s/o whom she's actually never met.

given gintoki's rep with women she thinks he's up to no good.

"oi have you no shame?! leave her alone, you're working right now."

"this is my woman."

as his s/o smiles and waves,

"nice to meet you, I'm (l/n) (f/n)."

saigō is in disbelief such a kind person is with gintoki.

his s/o whispers in gintoki's ear,

"gintoki, why exactly are you doing this?"

"money." he whispered back.

it all makes sense now.

warnings: just some sadness really ;v;

on days trouble feel small, when she fear and hurt as if back in childhood, she spend time with recordkeeper. he so wise, and so kind, that she always want hear what he say.

he look up from desk with warm smile as she enter, holding pako as always.

"my love! how are you?" she squeeze pako close with frown, and he nod as beckon closer, "i see... and how about... pecky?" he say playfully. she squeal, offended, and he laugh - "just kidding, just kidding!"

he gently reach for pako to scritch, but she turn body away and shake head.

"right, apologies. how are you, pako?" she pull his ears down over his face - scared.

"ahh... i understand. things not always so easy... feel like just need hide away," he smile sadly, "so, what bring here?"

she look around until spot bookshelf, and make noise as trot over. he follow along with chuckle - "what catch your eye today?"

short, tall, red and green and blue - do he have everything here? in end, she choose one that short and blue, worn from years of love.

"might need copy that one down soon!" he laugh, "you want my help?" she nod, and out they go.

they sit on cliffside as sun shine down. trouble's whole body relax with sigh, and recordkeeper chuckle.

he gently open book, and with her watch, start read off. here and there she get trip up, so he slow down and explain - at one point, even in character! she laugh hard at that one, and he make sure remember that for next time…

they have fun, but soon her mind wander and she squirm nervously. he look over, and she smile - sad one, one that try pretend nothing wrong. he just nod, and keep read - no point in try make her talk, she will when feel ready.

and she do, when finish one story and about to start next. her words come out harder and more twisted than usual, "why... love me...?"

he gently set book in grass while think how answer, "do i need reason?" he ask, but she nod. "ah, well... you here, you live and breathe. that alone make worthy."

she sigh and shake head as fidget with pako, "broken."

"to who? i see someone lovely, with kind heart, who great fun have around…" he smile and nudge playfully.

but again she shake head, "broken!"

he stop once more to think.

"why matter if so?"

she give confuse look.

"you have struggles others not understand, true... but can not say would love more if struggle less, or love less if struggle more," he nod, "you are trouble, and broken or not... i love you because you are you. nothing take away from that."

she sniffle, sniffle become cry, and cry become sob. he rub her back, and she crash into him with hug with oomph. he laugh and gently rub her cheek.

"i know hard believe on days like this," he say as wipe tears away, "but you deserve people treasure you."

W E I R D   H E A D C A N O N S  

copy and pasted from a meme resource. feel free to copy and fill in for your own muse

WHAT THEY SMELL LIKE: a vague scent of soap and laundry detergent. there’s no distinct flavor to the scent that attaches itself to hibiki. as they develop, later in jjk canon, and realize their individuality, they begin to smell vaguely of plums and passion fruit  -  the latter they attribute to a vague memory of their father. HOW THEY SLEEP ( sleeping position, schedule, etc ): curled into a ball. hibiki tends to curl themselves as close to their pillow as they possibly can, as far away from the foot of the bed as they can comfortably manage. they’ve grown used to sleeping without blankets. they sleep at the very most five hours  -  it seems to work well enough for them, as they never appear visually tired. WHAT MUSIC THEY ENJOY: ever since they passed a vintage store on a walk in downtown shibuya, they haven’t been able to get the sound of an old record player playing an old japanese blues song out of their head. HOW MUCH TIME THEY SPEND EVERY MORNING GETTING READY: an hour. forty minutes are devoted to cleaning up pako’s tank, feeding him, watching him idly while eating  --  while twenty minutes, at most, are devoted to actually getting ready themselves. FAVORITE THING TO COLLECT: brand new piercings, specifically new jewelry. though they haven’t realized its a sign of individuality, there is an odd excitement to finding new colors and designs they’ve never seen before. though hibiki never wears them and always wears their usual black standard piercings, they do like to look at them from time to time. LEFT OR RIGHT-HANDED: left-handed. FAVORITE SPORT(S): archery. there’s a beauty to it. FAVORITE TOURISTY THING TO DO WHEN TRAVELING: looking at the local wildlife. hibiki is not the type you should take with you if you are traveling and not willing to stand there with them for 3 hours at a time as they watch an animal from the distance without making a single noise. FAVORITE KIND OF WEATHER: a warm, slightly windy fall day. WEIRD/OBSCURE FEAR THEY HAVE: rushing rivers. THE CARNIVAL/ARCADE GAME THEY ALWAYS WIN WITHOUT FAIL: darts. if you want a certain plushie, large or small, hibiki will get it for you in less than a minute.

This is probably gonna be one of the worst asks for the character thing,but, Minamoto No Raikou?

Minamoto no Raikou (Fate/Grand Order)

favorite thing about them

honestly as a character for the most part raikou isn’t that bad. her madness enhancement is one of the most interesting and hasn’t really been explored to its full potential. i would love to see a more serious raikou arc which explores her insanely protective nature and believe me mothers are some of the most terrifying creatures on Earth. Also the fact that she never listens to anyone else because of her madness enhancement is reminiscent of a lot of real world mothers who think they know what’s best for their children despite what the children think or say and there is so much potential besides crazy sexy mom jokes!!!

least favorite thing about them

*does that old man fist shake* RAITA!!!

brOTP

kind of odd but I think raikou and shiki would get along really well together, both fighting the supernatural on a daily basis while simultaneously trying to raise a kid

OTP

none really 

nOTP

raikou x kintoki

raikou x shuten 

random headcanon

raikou survived shuten’s final attack not because of multiple helmets but because shuten aimed for her heart instead and was stopped by raikou’s concealed anti-assasination fake boob armor 

unpopular opinion

if you ignore her anatomy and design she has so much potential!!! give me an urobuchi tragedy event about the lengths mothers are willing to go for their children, even if it’s against what their children truly want and the emotional damage that comes from an unconditional “mother knows best”

favorite picture of them

Some articles about Filipino Weaving

https://narrastudio.com/blogs/journal/the-weaving-of-kalinga

- The design motifs and symbols are inspired from elements in the environment, such as birds and other animals, mountains, and stars.

- Red, for instance, symbolizes bravery while black represents the earth or the ground. Mountain symbols are embroidered in yellow, a color that also symbolizes wealth and fertility.

https://ph.asiatatler.com/life/the-untold-sacred-weaving-of-ifugaos

- Ifugaos and Kalingan people consider weaving sacred 

- designs are based off of nature

- ikat  style: diamond shapes with red and white stripes. Dyeing process is similar to tye dye where the warp and weft are dyed before being weaved together, resulting in a blurred motif due to the bleeding of the dyes on the resist areas. 

- warp ikat vs. weft ikat (more blurred and handmade appearance) vs. double ikat (most precise) 

- inabel style: textile made of cotton and other natural fibers that are woven together in pedal frame looms. Abel is the process while Inabel is the outcome.

- Abel is really labor intensive and weavers have to master hand and feet coordination  to properly use wooden handloom. 

- Inabel patterns are inspired by nature 

- Kalinga: dominant red stripes and motifs of geometric patterns as well as nature symbols interlaced with white yellow and black fibers

- Gilamat Ka-in is a wrap skirt that was traditionally woven in Lubuagan but is widely worn all over Kalinga 

- Indigo and red symbolise the sky and ground which are the national colors of the Kalinga, with a coin attached as a pendant 

- Yellow portions are embroidered and depicts mountains. It also symbolizes wealth. Embroidered plant patterns refer to growth and fertility

- Colorful beads or “bongol” is a part of the native costume, usually worn during fiestas, weddings, and important occassions. 

- Ginamat (Kalinga cosatume), Bahag (or G-String og Kalinga)

- Bontoc Style: motifs are geometric shapes of things in environment like men, lizards, mountains, rains, and flowers

- Siniwsiwan: clothing and blankets. Often used for Bahag amongst men and Tapis amongst women 

- married women wear ginaspala wanes (belts) with inawin patterns (continuous zig zag patterns)

- weaving is done with back strapped looms 

- Manuvu: Mandaya, Bagobo, Blaan, Higoanonm and T’Boli weave with Abaca 

- Moslems in Mindanao (Magindanaon, Maranaw, and Yakan) continue the tradition of cotton and silk weaving. Muslim weavers do not weave abaca

https://cnnphilippines.com/life/culture/2017/06/27/mindanao-weaves.html

- The woven textiles express both the agricultural roots of each community, as well as a strong non-Christian belief system animated by ancestral and natural spirits

- Kusikus : Wind God motif, thought to shield from furious winds 

- Sarimanok: a mythical bird of good fortune (in maranao textiles), the crocodile/lizard is revered for the symmetrical design patterns in its skin, and the Fak is a representation of a frog for its role in agriculture (found in T’Boli T’nalak cloth) 

- community’s agricultural roots is also evident in the textiles through patterns depicting tiny diamonds (representing rice grains) and Xs (representing rice mortars) 

- Mandaya people’s most popular textiles is called dagmay, which is a handwoven cloth designed with patterns of man and crocodile, for which the mandaya weavers are known for. Geometric and curvilinear forms in yellow, blue, and white yarns, as well as hooks crosses and diamond shapes are the favorite embellishments in the Mandaya’s woven fabrics 

- more distinguished women wore red cotton blouses with black sleeves while the common women wore brown and more common women wore brown and black abaca blouses. 

- B’laan employ similar weaving styles as their neighbors the Bagobo and T’Boli, producing ikat textiles on abaca or handwoven cotton 

- well known for their embroidery and decorative skills, using cross-stitches and outline-stitches to embroider stylized human figures, or when they stitch small disks of mother-of-pearl at regular intervals over the cloth 

- Maranao and Maguindanao (people of the lake) 

- produce malong which is worn by men and women for a number of purposes. Made by sewing two pieces of sarong cloth lengthwise along its edges to produce a square and can be woven from either cotton or silk. Landap has been noted to be probably the most distinctive malong, which comes on one solid color or two colors arranged in alternating bands. 

- the maranaos weave into colorful bands called langkit, consisting of three to four colors with okir designs: scroll, leaf, or vine motifs in abstract forms.

- T’Boli 

- well known for their t’nalak which is a distinctive abaca cloth that comes in three colors: reddish brown, black, and white. Black and brown colors come from naturally occuring dyes and white is the natural color of abaca. 

- well known t’nalak patterns include: bangala (man in house), Klung (shield), sawo (python), nipa g’mayaw (mythical bird), and the tofi (frog); all based in sigul, a zigzag arrangement of triangles or rhombs 

- designs for the t’nalak are borne from the weaver’s dreams, and the spirit of Fu Dalo (guardian of t’nalak designs) begins to reside in the cloth at the start of its production, thus warranting extreme care to prevent breakage ofthe yarns while weaving 

Tausug

- used to weave cotton and silk textiles from imported yarns. 

- habul tiyahian (or labur tiyahiran) is a traditional textile, an embroidered sarong 

- well known tapestry weave techniques found in pis (head cloths), tadjung (tubular skirts), and kandit (sashes)

If you don’t mind, can you tell me what’s great about Nagao Kagetora’s card art? I think she looks pretty and her art is good, but I I don’t know enough about art poses and anatomy to put my finger on why.

sure i love talking about art

like with most of takeuchi’s stuff the design is just really good. takeuchi doesn’t colour his own art but he still decides on the colouring of the design so I think it’s worth bringing up. he’s been on a black & white kick lately with okiter & lakshmibai’s final ascensions and kagetora continues that trend. it means there’s a good balance of light & dark going on that supports the shape of the design. making the inside of her hair black means the sleeves stand out against it and having the outside of the hair be white means it makes her head stand out against her torso. the alternation of white head/black torso/white waist/black legs makes the design as a whole feel balanced. your eye is drawn to her face but not so much that the rest of the design falls away. the red inside of her skirt and minicape and the yellow sash support the outline of her body in colour while reducing the overall contrast with the rest in terms of values (as you can see in the grayscale version) and it makes the thing feel more cohesive overall.

kagetora shows a bit of gratuitous skin but the side cutouts are tasteful and correspond to the approximate fashion she draws inspiration from, and it doesn’t compromise the plausible viability of this outfit for battle. plenty of long flowing fabric means the design has a lot of presence, but because of the open fronted skirt you can still easily read her pose, which is energetic and shows off her personality as elegant but somewhat eccentric figure while obscuring as little of the design as possible. compared to like, pako’s art she looks stiff but that’s because pako always takes incredible care to make dynamic and powerful poses occasionally at the cost of the design’s readability. the composition of this card is playing it very safe but that’s okay because it does what it has to do without being boring about it. I’m not a fan of the excessive particle effects on this art, but again takeuchi doesn’t do the colouring so that one’s not on him. 

the most notable thing about her final art is the angle. this kind of subtly from above angle is pretty hard to pull off, especially when you’re trying to incorporate this much flowing fabric into it. to draw this angle takeuchi had to foreshorten both vertically (her body) and horizontally (her arms) and it means the art as a whole has a lot more energy than her regular ascensions even though it’s essentially the same pose. the swords surrounding her reinforce the high angle and the fabric of her sleeves is used to fill the space between the swords. the balance of black & white in her design shows its value here too, the bright white of her shoulders and face draws your eye while the white of her skirt gets to blend in with the blue. 

if i had to criticise anything it would be that it’s still a pretty modest attempt at this angle and it’d be even more powerful if takeuchi just pushed it a bit further, and the yellow sash trails off kind of aimlessly at the front and it’d look better if the end of it was in frame/it was folded over itself a little more dramatically to really enforce that perspective. I’ve added a sketch to show what i mean. even so the concept is very good and it’s executed well enough, and it shows a clear attempt at doing something different and more complicated than usual when my main gripe with takeuchi has forever been that he plays it way too safe.

A loud dork... TOO LOUD. Does he can talk without screaming? His way of talking and his exaggerated reactions make him look stupid. Annnd he doesn't really care at all. He is here to have fun, to sing, to dance,...to marry Rocca?

-U.N.1: the ultimate Android-

You can call her Uni! She is some kind of robot who helps the other. She's intrigued by things she doesn't know and tries her best to look normal. She seems to have more feeling than a “normal” robot and can't remember who is her creator at all...

Every Lostbelt so far had characters who are couples or treated like a couple... do you think this was coincident, intentional decision or something started as accident that was continued due to reception? Also do you hope that this pattern continues? Cause I kind of do. And I already thought of 2! The True Orion and True Artemis who were both teased for Atlantis + Morgan and Ogier the Dane, if he is the Lostbelt Rider. India is a bit harder to guess for me. Any thoughts and couple guesses?

I don’t know if it was but I’ve been happy with them till now so I hope the trend will continue!

Before Ooku I’d said Parvati and Shiva but since she said she won’t appear in the LB... well, hopefully Sita and Rama. Or Draupadi, for Arjuna? 

In LB2 we were introduced to just half a couple bc we’ve had Bryn with us since forever, why not do the same for Arjuna? In case, I think I’d like for her to be designed/drawn by pako (and for the love of all is holy, please let her have dark skin)

Sculpture

One of the earliest kinds of art is sculpture. In the Philippines, sculpture is a native art form deeply ingrained in our regional traditions. The anito and bulul of the Cordillera groups, as well as the okir and pako-rabong motifs seen on the sarimanok, naga, and panolong of the Mindanao groups, are examples of many carved art forms that are a part of daily life and customs for these ethnolinguistic groups.

hi guys! this is slowly becoming a weekly thing again (which is, kinda better than before where it was a daily thing kasi i had a lot of free time before eh) anyways, i'm feeling.. mid

i cried the other day, kasi i'm rlly scared to fail my math classes. i realized after the test, that it's not really much of a big deal. i mean, kaya nga ni rus mawalan ng pake. sana ako din. kung kaya niya, kaya ko din. i'm scared of failing kasi school is a big thing for me. kaya ayun.

next section: maybe i should work on knowing what to say. sometimes kase i blurt out words and just hope for the best, or hope i said the right things. which is ok, since wala na yung pressure sa sarili ko pero at the same time ang bobo ng mga sinasabi ko pls HAHAHA

sana i could practice more on that end, pero ofc, no pressure parin!!

let's not focus on negative things, but instead let me tell you about how great this week has been!!

i went to nuvali with my ate and nakita ko si angela, i'm not 100% sure if that's her name nga since it has been so long pero yun nga. a quick hello, hi, ingat lang and i feel good about it! kasi i didn't panic or anything. i wasn't v awkward so yeah.

i had face-to-face classes today. i talked to some of my classmates na hindi ko pa gaano nakakausap noon, and we're good. i feel like my social batter has been down a lot more often these days, so i'm recharging. which is healthy for me.

napupuyat ako alot from reviewing and waking up, fixing my stuff and all that, these days and ayun. kanina wala kaming pasok so i slept almost the whole GODDAMN day! which felt so great. ang sarap sa feeling omg ka. ayun. masaya. well rested ako hehe!!

i also found out that i had tigdas-hangin kase may rashes kami ni bela oh my fucking god pero ok lang. papasok parin ako kasi kailangan, i just hope hindi mapansin ng classmates ko. and if they do, siyempre sasabihin ko nalang na my allergies are acting out 'cause i ate sea food.

tomorrow, medyo excited ako kasi we have club! we have pre-cal din which i don't love pero go parin! hahahaha ok ok ok. let's gooo. i haven't bought juice for my pod nga pala. di ko pa alam when ako bibili pero yea. pagiisipan ko nalang, tutal naayos ko naman na budget ko. just not vvv specific like, kung paano ba expenses ko and etchetera. more on go with the flow kasi ako these days kaya nauubos e. HAHAHA. anyways! may exam pako next week. good luck sa'kin kasi simula palang 'to at umiiyak nako. sana kayanin ko pa kasi meron pakong ilang sem na iiyakan. bale, i'll stay hydrated nalang. kailangan ko ng kausap before i sleep, so maghahanap ako. bored yarn? sige. gooo katrina!! FIGHT!! HAHA.

before i leave, gusto ko magleave ng eensy-teensy tiny little note for myself. i realized lately, na i should follow through more often with the things i say i want to do. i know naman na i could do it more than i had done. gusto ko lang sanayin sarili ko patungo sa mga gusto kong magawa. think. say. do. then i'll get some kind of result, after. follow through. i could apply that to a lot of things, which is eating less. saving my money. sleeping GODDAMN EARLY. drinking more water. study. like study for real. not be too clingy. don't say too much than you should, be more appropriate. don't fuck this up c, do ur best! i'm proud of you and, i love you!

Good night, i had a nice week! here's to following through!!!!!

Sunday Currently | Vol 5

I wrote this entry particularly for this weekend even though I know I haven't been doing a weekly entry as of recently.

After three years, I'm back in this tiny town. so long, already, huh? Oh well, I'm a keeper, which actually says a lot about who I am. Hello, Mati!

Currently staying at waxsurf as I'm typing this entry and so here it goes..

Currently

Reading

Before the Coffee gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. Very Interesting. Kahilakon ko... 🥺😢

Writing

Well this entry and some work stuff.. yes, I'm working and not doing a vacation lol

Listening

I miss you.. I'll always have that 1 person on my mind everytime I listen to this song.. how long has it been 3 years huh!? really that long..

Thinking

As to why I haven't been able to move forward even a bit from a person whom I have been loving for years and years. WHY SHEY?

Wishing

to be a little kind to myself.

Hoping

to be loved and appreciated as completely as who I am and not for anything else.

Wearing

my usual sleepware— Get Some Sleep shirt, black shorts

Loving

waxsurf and JT

Wanting

Honestly? I think I really want to see you.

Needing

a hug will do I guess, it's heavy and tiring recently

Feeling

Definitely I'm sad. It is depressing to finally realize that distance was never a concern. Simple because I'm not what you want.

Why does this entry feels so depressing hahaha well maybe it is... I'm sad right this very moment and funny how I still think of you, more and more of you.

So anyways, in other things.. I have been working and drinking for 2 days here... heavy drinking.. I'm not even trying to get drunk pero diosko.. na scam gyud ko sa cocktails ni Blossom... Really Good BUT deadly.. I'll be back on the 27th of Aug to settle the 16 Drinks Challenge!! Ni walkout ko on my 3rd glass! HAHAH Long Island drink! MYGHAD😂 whut a booze! karun pako naka splurge og 4k worth na drinks unya kutob rako 3 ka baso!LOL

Interestingly, Blossom and I share a LOT of similarities (we even found out that we went to the Coldplay concert at the same time) but the takeaway that night is how musch I admiredher journey in discovering her passion and living the dream... I just can't wrap my head around it.. it moved me in ways that I just want to CRY and persevere more.. discern more and just do more everyday.

I needed this trip but even so I was not able to see you, it's ok.

love, april.
