Luke is happy to be alone with you for the weekend. You rented a small house on Airbnb close by the beach. You and Luke haven't had much alone time in a while, once arriving at the house you and Luke start to explore the house. Later, changed and packed a few things and went to the beach. Luke helps you put sunblock on your back and shoulders while you put lotion on your chest. You did the same for Luke then he takes a selfie with you. Then you and Luke head to the water and the water is very cold.

“Should we go in deeper into the water?” You asked.

“Yeah, let's do it,” Luke said.

The relationship has been kept a secret for a while. His family supports the relationship but being out in public is different.

You and Luke spend time in the water just having a good time. Later, getting out of the water then sat on the towels, and start to eat snacks. Later you and Luke went to get snow cones and went back to the spot. Luke takes another selfie with you and he can't stop smiling.

“Are you having fun, y/n?” Luke asked.

“Yeah, I'm having fun with you. I'm happy that we got alone time which we haven't had in a long time” You said.

“Yeah, me too. I don't like the flavor I picked” Luke said.

He picked raspberry flavor and you picked cherry and blueberry.

“We can trade if you want,” You said.

“Really?” Luke asked in disbelief.

“Yeah, I don't mind,” You said.

You and Luke did trade snow cones, he was about to kiss you but a group of girls approached you and Luke. The girls start to flirt with you and Luke, it's starting to make you uncomfortable but you didn't say anything. You see Luke smiling and girls keep flirting.

“Luke...” You said in a low voice.

Luke leans in and says “just go with the flow”

He smiled and you didn't say anything. Throughout the day, the girls flirt with you and Luke, you just sigh heavily and don't say anything. Luke is smiling and making the girls smile. You are not having a good time and you just want the girls to leave you and Luke alone.

---

The girls spent half of the day with you and Luke.

“You and y/n should come out with us on a date,” She said.

“That will be a no” Luke smiled.

“Why?” She asked.

Luke grabbed your hand and gave a peck on the lips.

“Y/n is my boyfriend and I only want I date him. Let's go, babe” Luke smiled again.

You became speechless but smiled and they are in shock too. You and Luke head to the car while holding hands. Luke smiled and winked at you.

“Y/n, I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable,” Luke said.

“What you did made me speechless. It's the first kiss we had in public” You said.

“I want everyone to know, I have a cute boyfriend. Do you forgive me?” Luke said.

“I would forgive you if we could cuddle tonight. Yes, I felt uncomfortable around them” You said.

“I would love to cuddle with you, y/n. Again, babe, I'm sorry. I will always be yours” Luke said.

You kissed him and he can't stop smiling.

---

Before going back home, you and Luke buy take-out food. While you taking a shower, he was setting up dinner in a romantic way. You and Luke eat dinner while watching a Disney movie. After dinner, you and Luke cuddle in bed, you two didn't finish the movie because you and Luke fell asleep

✯ ✫ ✬ ✯

The next day, you and Luke went to the boardwalk. There are a few games with prizes. Luke tried to win you a plush by winning a basketball game but he lost twice. When you won a plush for him, he hugged you tight and kissed you. You couldn't help to smile and you blushed. Later, you and Luke are snacks and got on the Ferris wheel.

“Y/n, I-I love you a lot. You make me happy and I'm lucky that you're my boyfriend” Luke said.

You smiled and you hold his hand.

“I feel the same way and I love you too,” You said.

He leans in and you feel his lips and you start to kiss him back.

the garden academy au

A/N: Hi! This is related to my last story post, “dati.” I had a lot of fun with this...despite that likely I’ll only use it once and in private hahah. What house do you think you’d be? 

The Garden Academy is a private school located in Twisted Wonderland. The Garden Academy has consistently ranked as a top school for magicians. As the top school, the Garden Academy houses twelve dormitories within its expansive grounds, all named after a flower. The Garden Academy’s renown is respected even beyond the continent, having educated the likes of royalty from far beyond.

The Twelve Houses and their values:

1. House Cosmos - Optimism. The students of Cosmos approach life with a zest of optimism, and positivity unlike any other.

Founded on the optimism of Snow White.

I chose the flower, primarily because it can mean ‘innocent beauty.’ 

I did some research into her personality. Apparently what made her the ‘fairest one’ was because she was both beautiful and innocently kind. 

2. House Zinnia - Kindness. This house believes in the importance of kindness. They believe that kindness and goodness result in powerful magic.

Founded on the kindness of Cinderella. 

Zinnia can mean ‘kindness’ and ‘goodness’ which I thought was key for Cinderella.

Heavily inspired by the live action Cinderella movie quote: “have courage and be kind... where there is kindness, there is goodness, and where there is goodness, there is magic.” 

3. House Eglantine - Sophistication. Those a part of House Eglantine carry themselves with dignity and sophistication befitting the Briar Rose.

Founded on the sophistication of Aurora. 

Eglantine can mean ‘poetic.’

Aurora is one of four princesses who has a floral symbol. Hers is the pink rose. Because I didn’t want to repeat any flowers, I looked through some floral meanings. I ended up with Eglantine because it’s alternate name is Sweet Briar. Also, Eglantine is a type of rose too. 

4. House Anemone - Curiosity. Those from House Anemone regard the world and beyond--not for what is it but for what it could be.

Founded on the curiosity of Ariel. 

Anemone can mean ‘truth.’

I chose anemone, because not only is it also the name of a sea creature (?) but also because it represented Ariel’s desire to find the truth for herself. 

5. House Rose - Unconventionality.  The students of the Rose are unafraid to be themselves, and are open minded to everyone’s unique perspectives.

Founded on the unconventionality of Belle.

Rose can mean ‘beauty.’

She was the other princess who had a floral symbol, except hers was the red rose. It was so iconic to her story that I had to give her the rose. 

6. House Jasmine - Independence. Those who come from the House Jasmine are fiercely independent, and eager to explore the wonders of the world.

Founded on the independence of Jasmine.

Jasmine can mean ‘wealth.’ 

Another meaning is ‘amiability’, which if you think--is also suitable to Jasmine who plays an important role in her Kingdom’s politics.  

7. House Sage - Spirituality. House Sage understands the importance of giving respect to others, to nature and to the deep magic of the world.

Founded on the spirituality of Pocahontas.

Sage can mean ‘great respect.’

One of the most important things that Pocahontas teaches, is respecting everything around you--especially nature. “You think you own whatever land you land on/ The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim/ But I know every rock and tree and creature/ Has a life, has a spirit, has a name.” 

8. House Magnolia - Perseverance. The true path to honor, is to persevere as your true self, no matter the adversity. 

Founded on the perseverance of Mulan.

Magnolia can mean ‘noble and perseverance.’ 

The magnolia is iconic to Mulan’s character. "The flower that blooms in adversity"--is what she's referred to. And I hate that I made a mistake and called it another flower. Magnolia is perfect because it means noble and perseverance--which is what Mulan stands for.

9. House Water Lily - Passion. They believe that passion and honest hard work are key to being able to reach their dreams--whatever they might be.

Founded on the passion of Tiana.

Water Lily can mean ‘purity of heart.’

I think this meaning is especially connected to how Tiana was very strict with herself in ensuring that she does honest hard work for her dreams. 

10. House Chrysanthemum - Artistry. The students of House Chrysanthemum are known to pride themselves in their creativity and artistry.

Founded on the artistry of Rapunzel.

Chrysanthemum can mean ‘cheerfulness.’

Now, Rapunzel technically has a floral emblem, and it’s the sun flower in her movie. So I chose the chrysanthemum because if you break the word down, it actually means ‘golden flower’. The meaning ‘cheerfulness’ is meant to symbolize how Rapunzel sticks to being cheerful as much as she can! 

11. House Thistle - Bravery. Those of House Thistle brace themselves against life with strong and brave hearts. They steer their lives in their own hands.

Founded on the bravery of Merida. 

Thistle can mean ‘retaliation.’

Okay, let me explain. The thistle is the flower of Scotland. And I wanted to highlight how much Merida rebelled against what was expected of her--hence retaliation. 

12. House Hibiscus - Tenacity.  The students of House Hibiscus are known for their tenacity. They are devoted and determined to the things they love.

Founded on the tenacity of Moana.

Hibiscus can mean ‘happiness.’ 

Primarily chose this because hibiscus is just so iconic to Hawaii. Happiness because Moana chose and chased after this. 

The uniform:

Edit 07/13/2020--some thoughts on this design: I really love sailor and military styled uniforms, hence why the top ended up as is. As for my choice in the different variety of bottoms--it was actually inspired by how Three Houses had different types of bottoms for both genders! I incorporated that concept to this design. 

*the drawing still says peach blossom for mulan but it should be magnolia.

Extra notes:

I did create houses for some other characters, but ended up not... really including them in my canon idea? Well I think I can still slip this in for that token Elsa OC ya know

13. House Heather - Loyalty.

Founded on the loyalty of Anna and Elsa. 

Heather can mean ‘admiration.’

Heather is the floral emblem of Norway, if I remember correctly. Loyalty and admiration for one another are both traits Anna and Elsa share, and feel for one another. 

14. House Poppy - Imagination.

Founded on the imagination of Alice.

Poppy can mean ‘imagination.’

There really wasn’t much to say, poppy just fits Alice I think. 

15. House Sunflower - Sensitivity.

Founded on the sensitivity of Nala. 

Sunflowers can mean ‘pride.’

The reason I didn’t give sunflower to Rapunzel is because I did Nala first. I still think it suits Nala better, especially with the meaning of ‘pride.’ Also, Nala’s sensitivity to Simba and her daughter is--I think--her best trait. 

16. House Acanthus - Wit.

Founded on the wit of Megara.

Acanthus can mean ‘artistic.’

The primary reason I chose acanthus is because it’s the flower of Greece. I would probably change it, but I had a hard time looking for Meg’s flower... Then again, the way she could manipulate conversations was an art in itself.

The Voice of My Nation: An Autobiography of Nicole Anne L. Tropia

      I am Nicole Anne L. Tropia, and I was born on February 4, 2003, at Toran, Aparri, Cagayan. My parents are both Ilocano. My father, Allan B. Tropia, is from La Union while my Mother, Ferdiliza V. Lobendino, is from Cagayan Valley. Up until now, they are still not married, and when I ask them why, they would always tell that there is no need for that kind of thing. Recently, we didn't expect a blessing to come to our family. I had my sibling after 16 years, and her name is Allizah Jeanne L. Tropia. The reason why it took a long time for me to have a sibling is that I'm not really fond of having one. I remember telling my parents and other members of my family, "Magpapasagasa ako kapag nagkaroon ako ng kapatid." My family was cautious when they told me about the pregnancy of my mom because they thought that I meant what I said before.

          My family and I are music lovers. We sang along to old CD's, vinyl, and cassette tapes that we have in the house. Collecting old records has always been my family's hobby. Going to different antique shops and record stores is how I bond and spend time with them for a day. Here we get to talk about artists in the past and their contribution to the music industry. A reason why I also love going to antique shops is because of its musty smell together with the vintage set-up and classical songs playing in the background.

          Aside from my mother and father, I was also raised by my grandparents, whose love for me is as deep as the oceans. They are the ones who inspired me to serve and do something for my country like what they did. My grandfather from mother's side, Tatay Rogelio, is a retired Soldier, a Dentist, and a Barangay Councilor. At the same time, from my father's side, Lolo Pido is also a Barangay Councilor and a Farmer. For me, they are my heroes, and I am very proud of them for dedicating their whole life to serve the country and provide the needs of its people. If the sugar rush was a person, then I would be that for my grandparents would always tell me that I was a lively and energetic kid. Every morning they would invite me to go with them to the market, and I will always look for my "Darna" costume to wear. People in the market would always tell me, "Totoy, salaan da kami man mut!" meaning if I could dance for them. "Totoy" is a nickname of mine given to me by my family. They got it from Vhong Navarro's song "Totoy Bibo" which tells about a kid named Totoy who loves to dance in front of many people. Up until now, whenever I go home to our province, people would ask me “Ikaw na ba si Totoy? Dati sinasayawan mo lang kami.”

          At the age of 3, I already started schooling at Pattao Day Care Center in Cagayan Valley. I was the top 1 of our class with an award for consistently being neat and clean. After finishing nursery and kinder in our province, my family and I moved to Metro Manila. Here, I studied at a public school near our house, which is Libis Elementary School. As a child, moving to a different place is quite tricky. I was not used to the surroundings and also the people. However, I found my way of adjusting with the help of my parents, especially my mom. She is supportive of me when I was a child. She would always push me to join different co-curricular activities in our school, whether it is dancing, singing, acting, modeling, drawing, and even cooking. Before, I also joined a gymnastics class in our school; however, after three years, I stopped because we had numerous practices.

          Starting from 4th grade, teachers would always give me the lead role in our book parades. I was enjoying the opportunity given to me to show my talents until the 6th grade. The book given to our section is "The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." I was not expecting to get the lead role because, in the first place, my skin color is not light-toned, but still, my teacher chose me to play the role of Snow White. Some of my classmates bullied me because of that. Starting then, I lost my self-esteem and my interest in doing things. This event truly made a massive impact on my life.

          As I remembered, my elementary days are also just full of games and stories with my friends. We spent our free time sitting under a tree and talking about our dreams or anything about ourselves. Before, being an only child is challenging because I don't have someone to play with and lean on to every day. Nevertheless, I never really felt alone because I have my friends with me. We usually stay at our house a lot of times and play Barbie's and Legos. Sometimes my mom would also invite them for a sleepover.

          After graduating from elementary, I transferred to a private sectarian school in Quezon City, which is Stella Maris College. When I was in Junior High School, I became quiet and reserved. I wasn't able to show and enhance the talents that I had before. Stella Maris College is a school that I will never forget. Here, I met kind-hearted people. They welcomed me and treated me as a family. I didn't also excel in my academics until 9th grade. My friends, especially Angelica Lorenzana and Frances Lavinia Martin, have pushed me to study hard and do better in my academics. Since then, I became a consistent achiever. I can genuinely say that it is the most significant achievement that I had at that time.

          I continued working hard for my academics, and I moved up from Junior High School. Now, I am a Senior High School student under the Humanities and Social Sciences strand still in Stella Maris College. Senior High School is a time for me to find again and establish my old self. I promised myself to not let any chance to walk out the door, so I joined an organization in our school called Nexus. This organization is responsible for documenting all the events within our campus. There, I slowly found my passion in the visual arts, such as photography and videography. In our subjects, I was also given the opportunity to showcase again my talents in performing arts. Being a HUMSS student has sincerely unleashed the creativity within me. I am now able to speak and perform in front of many people without being afraid.

          In 11th grade, I became the top 7 of our batch. I am truly grateful for this milestone in my life. I have regained the confidence that I had before, and I have adequately expressed myself to other people. Now that I am in the 12th grade and an incoming college student, I have applied to various universities. First is my dream school, which is the Philippine Military Academy. However, I wasn't lucky enough to pass the exam. I felt disappointed with the results because it has been my dream ever since to be a soldier for my grandfather. I had a hard time moving on, but my friends and family made me feel better by telling me that I can always try again, and there are other ways I can do to help and serve my country. Aside from PMA, I also applied to other universities such as the University of the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and Saint Louise University in Baguio City with the course of BA Film and BA Psychology. At this point, I'm not sure where life will take me, but I believe that no matter where it is, I will always try hard and exert all my efforts to achieve all my dreams.

it’s meme time!

YO YO YO what is upppp my friends? got a bit (quite a lot, actually) of time in my hands right now so i decided to do the thing! was tagged by the incredible @francesca-wayland​ and @elinorx​ which r two of my fave fic writers tbh i have no idea why we’re mutuals haha anyway here we go

Rules: Complete the survey and say who tagged you in the beginning. When you’re finished, tag people to do this survey. Have fun and enjoy!

1: Are you named after someone? Hm, up until now, I still don’t know why they named me Katrina Mae (ugh, super cringe-worthy). My father always says that they patterned my name after my sister’s nickname kee-em, which is like a stretched-out kim... which also sounds like K.M... so they just took those initials and searched for some names for girls? I was supposed to be named ‘Victor’, like my father ‘cause they wanted to have a boy (lol sorry to disappoint) (ultrasound scans were uber expensive in ‘96). They initially planned on naming me “Victoria” but for some reason that I can’t quite explain (haha it’s difficult to explain, really. a lot of it gets lost in translation so i’d rather not explain it here), they scrapped the idea. 

2: When was the last time you cried? The past few weeks have been very... let’s say, challenging for me. (Aside from the Sherlock episodes, lol) I’m currently taking a break from uni due to a lot of reasons... one is not being able to accomplish readmission on time and the other is because of more personal reasons. So, yeah. I’ve cried a lot for the past 4 weeks than I had the whole year (2016) that I’ve seriously lost count. [Just a while ago, I cried after watching Carrie Fisher on Ellen.]

3: Do you like your handwriting? Yes, actually! I only write in cursive that’s why my instructors always have a hard time whenever they check my lab reports. (sorry) There was one time I sprained my right hand after drawing and using spray paint for two straight days and I had to write my lab report asap. Since I can’t write with my left hand, I ended up writing one of the most illegible report for the synthesis of 2-naphthoxyacetic acid ever.

4: What is your favorite lunch meat? CHICKENNNNN. Or anything that’s in a stew. Beef stew, mostly (BULALO, oh my god. Nilagang Baka. I have no idea how to translate that in english but, man.)

5: Do you have kids? None at the moment. Would love to, someday. Not very keen on the baby-making process though...

6: If you were another person, would you be friends with you? Yes. I love me, haha! Not quite sure if I’d be super approachable, tho.

7: Do you use sarcasm? YES

8: Do you still have your tonsils? Yes? Why is this part of the questionnaire?

9: Would you bungee jump? Hm, no. Not really. But I’ll do it for cash.

10: What is your favorite kind of cereal? I have no idea if Koko Krunch is an international brand but... yep. I love Koko Krunch.

11: Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? No, haha! But I always untie them before wearing =)

12: So you think you’re a strong person? I can’t pack a mean punch but I guess I’m okay. A friend of mine told me that she thinks I have a high EQ. So... yeah I guess I’m okay.

13: What is the first thing you notice about people? Their facial features and their hands. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the inner artist in me who’s always on the lookout for potential portrait models. This can also be the reason why I always draw Lara Pulver. That woman has one of the best facial features EVER.

14: What is the least favorite physical thing you like about yourself? Nothing, really? I just wish I was taller.

17: What color pants and shoes are you wearing now? I’m in my bed so I’m wearing my green pajamas and no shoes.

19: What are you listening to right now? Keyboard typing sounds? And our dog barking.

20: If you were a crayon, what color would you be? THE BLOOD OF ANGRY MEN

21: Favorite smell? Sampaguita! (Jasmine) and citrus-y fragrances.

22: Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone? My roommate.

23: Favorite sport to watch? Not really that into sports. My friends always played volleyball back in High School that’s why I was kinda forced into learning the game. I quite like watching it on TV.

24: Hair color? Black. V Black.

25: Eye color? Dark brown, it almost looks like it’s brown.

26: Do you wear contacts? No :( Contacts scare me for some reason.

27: Favourite food to eat? Anything with cheese, basically.

28: Scary movies or comedy? Comedy. Well-written ones like Edgar Wright’s.

29: Last movie you watched? Inception!

30: What color of shirt are you wearing? I’m wearing a plaid sleeveless thing.

31: Summer or winter? If you can make it snow in the equator, I’d pick winter. (Hehe, please don’t)

32: Hugs or kisses? Not very keen on either of the two but... hugs?

33: What book are you currently reading? I’m reading a lot of books right now (not simultaneously though, haha!). Current reads are 1984, The Graveyard Book, and Atonement.

34: Who do you miss right now? My friends at Uni.

35: What is on your mouse pad? Na-ah. No mouse pad.

36: what is the last tv program you watched? A local TV show about cops called “Probinsiyano”. My mama watches it and I was only there to mock the ridiculous and inappropriate panning/zoom-ins.

37: What is the best sound? Nature sounds?

38: Rolling Stones or The Beatles? I quite like the Stones’ Sympathy for the Devil. But I know more Beatles songs than Stones, so I guess I’ll pick The Beatles.

39: What is the furthest you have ever traveled? I haven’t left PH yet but the furthest I’ve been (in the North) is Alaminos and Batangas (in the South).

40: Do you have a special talent? I can draw??? Is that a special talent? Haha, but I think every one can draw if you just practice and practice and practice.

41: Where were you born? San Carlos City, Pangasinan, PH

OKAY! Tagging time! Tagging Ate Marmi @dimensionbitch (na feeling ko na-tag na ‘ko sa meme na ‘to dati?), @sorrowsflower, @of-dreamers-and-detectives, and @thank-you-for-being-with-me! Also anyone who wants to do this!
