Chapter 8: Rebirth from Rebirth

          My eyes opened to find that I was in . . . my room? I was resting on my bed facing the opened the glass windows that captured the lovely night sky. There were stars glistening over the mountains and forests. Had I been dreaming again? Didn’t I face Thayne though? Why was my head burning yet my body was shivering? I tried to move my arm to feel my forehead, but one shift brought on splintering pain.          “Ah!” I winced to the point where my eyes dampened.         ...

Summer Status

I have to say that summer is unpredictable. I've figured that my editing speed is like a roller coaster. Yes, I'm using a typical analogy, but oh well, there's the brain dead me. Anyhow, you've probably noticed that I've been updating rather quickly and that's because I honestly don't know exact dates now. My vacation is coming in May, so I'm going to try my best to speed things along. Expect an update for each story every couple of days. Also, if you've been following the revised chapters for Rebirth, I'm pretty sure you've noticed huge changes...

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 7

Chapter Seven: The Leader Encounters the Queen of Spontaneity Rhett had arrived at the coffee shop fifteen minutes earlier than scheduled. His purpose was to observe the way his date entered the café and perhaps, the manner in which she carried herself. Already, he was surprised that she was fifteen minutes late, and now, he was 88.9 percent positive that he would not get along with her.  Taking a sip of his cappuccino, he stared at the front door only to notice a petite girl running from afar. The girl was sprinting madly, but once she was...

Chapter 7: Decisions from Rebirth

          Passion. Lust. Jealousy. Greed. Hunger.           They were all interlaced in his embrace, his kisses, and his touches. I was there to satiate his needs, to enclose that missing puzzle piece. I thought I could tolerate everything, but when he had tied my hands and legs apart like a sacrifice and reached for a sword hanging from the wall, I gulped.          Tracing the blade against my neck, he snickered. “You know, you...

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 6

Chapter Six: The Hidden Devil vs. the Femme Fatale; the Innocent Boy vs. the Forbidden Fruit Junsu cradled his cell phone in his hand with a question pestering his mind. Should he call her or should he wait for her to call him?  It was the afternoon when the restaurant would close and then prepare for dinner service. This break usually allowed Junsu to visit an Internet café, yet he wasn’t in the mood for games today. His hands were so fidgety that he could barely hold onto the trays. He could hardly walk properly, crashing into tables here...

Chapter 6: Déjà-vu from Rebirth

          Brett and I entered a dark chamber that was more heavily decorated than mine. This was a room for a Prince. “This was my room,” Brett announced. “We should be safe for now.”          With the moonlight nicely lighting the atmosphere, I was too absorbed by the glamour in this room. “Brett . . . wh-who are you?” I suddenly shot a puzzled glare at him. An owner of a small coffee shop shouldn’t have lived here. A quiet apartment suited him more, yet...

Summer Goals

This is probably the last summer where I can do whatever I please, so I'm actually going to make a list of summer goals. As I complete them, I will cross them off this post.

Read a ton of novels on psychology/success/business 5. Start reading the news online (the business section) 6. Try to start a comic for TFDL or Rebirth (This is a huge maybe) 7....

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: The Mom Dines with the Child and the Free Spirit Floats in a Club Who would have expected Jaejoong to treat Yumi to dinner? After their cumbersome introductions, which Jaejoong insisted cut his life span by several years, he decided to upgrade his game plan. He needed to learn more about his target, Yumi Taka, for he thoroughly enjoyed the motto: “Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer.” In fact, he couldn’t wait to discuss with Ami about his study. His research? Evaluating the impacts of this strategic plan for revenge....

Status Update 10 - Rest of April (New Version)

I deleted the status update for April because  . . . clearly I haven't been following it. I suddenly felt like finishing book one of Rebirth once and for all! It was a good end to a school year, I think. So, here are the updates! Rebirth Chapter 6 revised will be posted on April 23rd and chapter 7 revised will be posted on April 25th. *I've added a chapter index to the Rebirth page so people can find the revisions easily.  *Because revisions are going well, I'm going to try my best to update every couple of days. TFDL: Prelude Chapter...

Chapter 5: Mystification from Rebirth

          I thought Adelaide would have explained everything, yet she never mentioned anything. I shouldn’t have expected anyone to help me here though. I was being naïve again.          “Your Highness, is something bothering you?” Adelaide asked.          We were marching down the corridor with a guard leading us back to my chamber. I had, at last, acquired several important clients, and so, I was promoted to live...

Last Minute Decision

Hello! I just realized that I'll be too busy after my exams packing and then vacationing to another country, so I didn't want to drag things out with Rebirth. Like I've said before, I've already written the ending, so it's okay to release it earlier. So, I will be releasing a chapter tomorrow to celebrate the end of my exams. That chapter would be 59, and as usual, I will post the edited version, which would be chapter 5. Then, on April 17, I will release chapters 60 and 61 together. Chapter 60 has a cliffhanger at the end, so I thought it would...

Experimenting with Formspring

Hello! I thought I would try out formspring since it seems like an interesting way for people to ask questions if they wanted to about my stories or my interests or anything really. (There is an extent though.) Anyhow, feel free to ask me anything like that form says! Thanks! <p><p><a href="http://www.formspring.me/cubierock11">http://www.formspring.me/cubierock11</a&...

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Leader Vows to be in Control When the three boys, Junsu, Yoochun, and Changmin, had arrived home, they were flabbergasted to discover that the whole mansion was shunned with darkness and obscurity, aside from the flashing plasma screen in the living room.  “Is that who I think it is?” Junsu pointed his index finger at the shadow. This was probably the boys’ worst fear and may be even their nightmare. “I don’t like this.” Junsu shuddered and headed for the closest light switch.  “Don’t,” Changmin pulled one hand out of his...

Good news!

I wasn't sure how to title this, except to put "good news". So, here I am to proudly say that I think I know what to do with TFDL now. I admit that I've been slightly confused these days about TFDL's direction. When I plan, I plan super far ahead, so I'm thinking in book two and in book three, what would happen. I like to link things together, and I really want to tell a complete story with an ending that satisfies you and me. I hope you're enjoying the revisions because I frankly think they've made the story better. I feel like I know the characters...

Inspirational Monday #7: Dreams

My friend and I were talking over skype one day, and I asked her what were some things she wanted to do before she died. Somehow, we were complying our own bucket list. We were tired of waves and waves of exams, so it was fun to think about dreams and aspirations. I'm not going to share my whole list here, but here are a few things that I want to do: 1. Ride a camel across the desert (I ended up youtubing "riding an ostrich". Very extreme.) 2. Participate in a tea ceremony (I've always wanted to be dressed in a kimono while making some green...

I don’t want to cook today, Changmin.” Then, he screamed once he felt like a boulder had squished his back. “What the—“             He turned to...

Chapter 4: Transitions from Rebirth

          I would not be able to say what day it was, but I never lost track of how many days had passed since my arrival. My method of counting was a system of precision that revolved around a meal for I was only given a meal a day. Starvation was supposed to keep my figure for the auction. According to the old woman who was responsible for my body, I needed to lose a few pounds to maintain the look of a youthful doll.           “That is your target audience,”...
