Tracings of Love

Credits to shawty_12 for the poster!           I’m staring at the ceiling of my bedroom. It’s dark, too dark for it to be morning. Doctors tell me that I’m suffering from insomnia, but I’m a doctor myself. I don’t need their diagnosis. I know exactly what’s wrong. I’m fucking heart sick. That’s what...

Chapter 5: Nourishment from Rebirth: Legacy

          There was a difference between undernourishment and malnutrition. People could gobble all the treats in the world and still be malnourished because they lacked the proper vitamins or people could be undernourished, meaning without the necessary calories. Now, Raul had to be considered as a victim of malnourishment. He had the status and the blood, yet he was in need of the appropriate behaviour and mindset of a Kin...

Snippets of Love Final

Credits to goldly01! The day of the funeral has arrived. How do I know? I feel like I have been counting down. Rather than counting down for New Years, here I am, counting for his day: December 30th. I don’t want to give it much thought. I don’t want to have anything to do with it. Sadly, I don’t think I’m brave enough to confront my own fears....

Snippets of Love 4

Credits to FESHA for the poster!  I know I should have been more organized. I’m at the department store picking up some last minute presents for my family. I seem to have forgotten about Rina’s gift. What would a kid want anyways these days? Video games? Makeup? The girl is only five. I doubt Jina would want her to wear makeup....

Snippets of Love 3

Credits to goldly01! I’m at my sister’s place, which is more like my mother’s house. My sister bought it off of mom after my sister had earned enough from her cupcake shop. Now, this house is filled with her and her family, and mom. Everything looks so different from before. The walls have been painted different shades of pastel with the living...

Snippets of Love 2

Credits to FESHA for the poster! We’re sitting in a café for brunch. Why am I even sitting here across from him? I don’t even know how I managed to go through the morning. Oh wait, I remember as my hand accidentally touches my wrist still wet from the coffee spillage. I was reading over some reports when I suddenly hear my ringtone sound. Without...

Snippets of Love

A/N: I know I said I wouldn't be doing much writing during exam season, but I just couldn't resist this sudden inspiration I got for a short story. It'll just be, at most, seven chapters. I've also tried a different sort of style, so I hope you'll enjoy it! I think the perfect song for this is Avril Lavgine's "When You're Gon...

Chapter 4: Support from Rebirth: Legacy

         Credits to MR.LEE'S for the poster!          When I had arrived at her chamber, I was told by one of the maids that Theo was preoccupied with a guest and that I would have to wait. I snickered at the thought of waiting. So, I glared at the maid, who was intelligent...

December Blues

It's the first day of real snow, yet I'm feeling pretty down. A lot of things have happened just within this month. I've felt like I'm starring in my own drama. Heck, I'm sure it'd be enjoyable or interesting to read if I ever decided to share . ....

TFDL: Etude - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: The Leader Surprises the Queen of Spontaneity and the Free Spirit Attends an Awards Ceremony There was only one place to find Kannei, and that was at her university on a Thursday afternoon. That was when Kannei supposedly had a book club meeting. He waited in front of the building that Kannei had walked out of that day when he picked her up from school. Due to the wintriness, he wore a pair of red mittens and a grey beanie, which he had found in his car trunk. They helped disguise his business attire, complete with a matching black...

Chapter 3: Acclimatization from Rebirth: Legacy

           Enemies were meant to be befriended, especially when they were valuable assets. Of course, every investment needed some time before pay back, but I knew that this venture would make a lifelong return. My costs? That ought to be sacrificing my pride and flattering another’s pompous attitude. No matter how much pain I would have to endure, I had to fulfill my part of the bargain.             “Raul,” I called out from the dock....

Chapter 2: The Mom’s Best Friend Becomes the Queen of Spontaneity and the Innocent Boy Welcomes Seoul Even when Jaejoong had filming, he still managed to convince the director to let him spend some time with Kannei. Actually, he just got Sora to do the deed. At first, she was unwilling to help, but after he mentioned that this was to maintain his image with Kannei, Sora immediately agreed. That silly manager was always so easy to trick, he remembered scoffing to himself. Now, standing at the area to wait for arrivals, Jaejoong checked his phone...

Thinking of Combining My 2 Blogs into One

As you may or may not know, I have two blogs. One is for complaining, and the other is for writing. Lately, updates for my stories have been much slower compared to before because life has been catching up to me. With that being said, however, I am considering combining the two blogs into one. I'm going to expand on my complaints one, and turn it more into a personal blog as in I'd include my thoughts, some funny pictures I've found, and . . . my love lif...

Chapter 2: Insanity from Rebirth: Legacy

      Okay, so I thought it was time to share something. It has been a while, hasn't it since I last updated? Here it is!       That dream had, truthfully, scared me. I woke up in shivers and in sweat. I didn’t know what to think. Why was he so important to me before? Why couldn’t I forget about him? Why was I searching for any bit of evidence to prove his existence? Indeed, I had rummaged through all the historical records, maps, portraits or anything in the library to figure out who he was....

A Slight Halt

I have to say I'm sorry for not updating these days. I'm having a slight pause on writing because I cut my index finger several days ago pretty badly. I'm doing everything with one hand to prevent the wound from bleeding by itself a third time. Even though the wound has finally closed after a week, I'm still trying not to use my other hand that muc...

TFDL: Etude - Prologue and Chapter 1

Prologue Time and distance typically had the effect of severing relationships, but bonds could be stronger due to such obstacles. It all depended on the people involved in such relationships. Did they want to exert more effort to maintain liaisons? Was it necessary to keep in touch? Sometimes, all it took was one look, one phone call or one email to rekindle relationships. Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to say that separations were inevitable, but good-byes were not because there was a chance of saying hello again. It just depended...

Taking a Gamble

Thanksgiving weekend. What am I doing? Besides cleaning the place since my roommate can tolerate a higher level of messiness than me, I have been submitting query letters to literary agents. Daunting? Very. I've been going over the names of literary agents to find the ones that would accept Rebirth, and that in itself has been a long process.&nbs...

Thoughts After Revising TFDL: Prelude

Hello! I haven't made a reflective entry in a while, so I thought I'd take the time to think about my revisions for TFDL: Prelude. I'm sure to those that have read the unedited version that the plot has changed quite a bit, and more things have been added to the story, like flashbacks. I actually really enjoyed writing about their past memories. I believe that some events in the present do trigger memories in the past, and I thought it would be nice to show how the boys grew up together, rather than assume that their friendship had been strong...

TFDL: Prelude - Final Chapter

Chapter 62: The Perfect Balance for a Holiday Happy. Unhappy. People could fit under such categories during the winter holidays. For the boys, the winter holidays used to mean getting together during Christmas to rejoice over a delicious dinner, to enjoy a few DVDS, and to reminisce the past year’s funniest moments. They would have a countdown of what was the funniest thing that happened that year and would decide on each occurrence’s ranking by voting. During New Years, they would count down in unison and pop a bottle of champagne. This...

They even had catch phases, which were hard to deny, especially Jaejoong’s. “It’ll be fun,” Jaejoong kept singing in a whiny voice. “Come on, man...

 Chapter 58: The Winter Festival Celebrations were supposed to bring joy, not to emphasize on other people’s miseries. With the circumstances given, it was, thus, expected for all of them to be contented, but most of them were not. Junsu should have been delighted that the boys and Naomi had created a surprise for his birthday. He would have been if he had not known of certain secrets of Naomi. Naomi too should have been overjoyed that she was celebrating her boyfriend’s birthday. She would have been if Junsu had not asked for a break in...
