I wonder what sort of comments will spring from my new chapter....
Ah...wonderful day....

I've just arranged my books today----and I must admit I'm quite shocked to discover that through the years I've read over a hundred.
Most of my paper-y collection are just paperbacks, but there are precious few that are hardbound, such as my Artemis Fowls, Harry Potters, A Series Of Unfortunate Events, Blood Canticle, The Five People You Meet In Heaven-----and even Chicken Soup For The Soul.
The very first fiction books I read were the Sabrina The Teenage Witch series. After that I went to buy more and more, devouring them all with speed (but of course, my speed depends on the book's thickness...
)
I've arranged all my books into a lovely bookshelf my dad brought me. That way I'll have an easier time if ever I want to reread them. Reading is one of life's greatest pleasures (for me, of course) along with eating.
It's a pity I've lost a few good ones. I dunno where I placed them or what....

You are most likely to be the Vampire
Recluse!
The Recluse hides from others, and more
importantly, itself. Ashamed of what it is and
what it has become, the recluse feels varying
degrees of guilt over the thought of having to
feed off the living; usually the recluse has
become a vampire against its will, or if a
voluntary act, quickly grows to resent this
decision. Often the recluse's physical
appearance will lack the influence of the
vampire charm, instead being replaced in equal
by the alluring quality of its heart.
Ironically, the recluse is often times a very
powerful vampire, perhaps gaining power from
its own aversion, or perhaps because its
painful clutches to its lost humanity
strengthen it.
Dominant personality trait: Guilt
Dominant color: White
Fictional Vampire Examples: Louis ('Interview with
the Vampire'), D ('Vampire Hunter D:
Bloodlust')

the night? Come this way...

My
nephew arrived last night from Bulacan and is staying over at our place until Sunday...
He's really cute and cuddly....never ceases to make everyone in this house laugh...
Why do babies have that irresistible charm, ne?
When they smile like that----it's like all the problems in the world are gone...we're spending our time playing with him...I love it when he chuckles...
Anyway, on to the other side of the planet, there are yet
AGAIN, unpleasant people running about. The one I'm talking about is a particularly annoying insect who pops out in places and ruins people's moods----and its so annoying that I want to squash it to pulp.
UNC:
It's like----
napaka-epal. Its not his/her business but he/she keeps interfering... who the hell won't get annoyed with that?
and the problem is, his/her obnoxious pollution's creeping to everyone else.
Pity I don't have an insect spray with me, or else.

This is actually my first time writing deep pRO fanfiction. I've mixed in mystery and symbolism on my latest and would-be short work. I think the element of mystery is doing its job...
My main character is a Wizard, newly-promoted to the 3rd job class...my concept on the Sorcerer Job Class is about taking your Magic to the final paths of specialization----White Magic or Black Magic.
White Magic leans more on support magicks----stronger than a Sage's and a Professor's, of course...
Black Magic leans more on destructive spells and thus seem to be a popular choice for Wizards. But of course, the paths aren't easy.
Many have gone mad, and only two have managed to solve the mystery of these spheres. I have yet to decide who these Sorcerers are----but rest assured that both of them are
quite popular.
I do hope Black Rose would further catch readers' attentions...even though it will be brief and short.
PS.
If you want to check out Black Rose, it's available in Ragnaboards, Fanfare section.

You're Element is Fire. You have a strong,
independant, fiery personality and you
obviously don't ley other's puch you around.
You like being in charge and don't care what
other people think. In fact, you like to stand
out and be yourself. You're probably shy when
people first meet you but your a ball of energy
that could explode at any given moment. You
like to laugh and whether you admit it or not,
you like to fight. You're peronality that is
wild and untamable. You're beauty is physically
fit and a little sexy and you have a very
pretty face.

You are... WAIT! - you're none of the Sins you're
an Angel!
Perfect, or close enough, and annoyingly so! Did
you always
behave so 'just right'. ARGHHH . You can annoy the
hell outta
people with your attitude, but no doubt your church
is real happy
with you. The positive side certainly outweighs the
negative,
after all, you do chores, are smart, are cute, do
charity work.
Least you know what a perfect saint you are. You
just make the rest
of us sinners vomit. Perhaps you could break the
rules once in a while, go wild - Eat an extra
cookie or something.
However - congratulations on being the most pure,
of the entire human race.

My gawd...took me nearly an hour to style this journal's color...
It's just so hard to twang the colors...I dunno what color would blend with what...
I like dark colors with earthen ones...they really keep me cool and reflect my...personality.
But these colors don't mean that I'm evil...I just like the cool shades...I've never been into bright objects...

I think the time is ripe for another attempt at Fanfiction.net. My account there has been frozen...and now, by uploading a new story, I activate myself once more.
The story I have uploaded is my obscure work, entitled
Black Rose. If I may quote the story's summary itself---
A young Wizard decides to take his specialization further as he is promoted into the Sorcerer job class. As his life sinks into despair, madness and crime, he discovers that there are paths best left alone and choices best left untaken.

My mom said it was the first time in years that I actually had any fever, and it was something new.

Yeah, I know...my reactions on the movie are a bit late...
The effects were simply nice...I loved the way the "thousand ships" seemed real...they really had a great work up there. Hector and Achilles's battle scene were really cool.
The only thing I didn't like was the ending...I thought they were going to obey the book...but hey...

The flyers said Harry Potter 3 was going to hit the theaters of
June 2. And then I bought K-Zone for my brother, and their calendar said Harry Potter 3 would be showed on
June 4.
I logged in on harrypotter.com and checked----it said
June 2 as well, but when I downloaded the posters, it showed
June 4.
And then I visited msn.com.ph and a poster there said HP3 would be showed on
June 9

I've finally finished writing War Of Emperium's
Epilogue. It's quite short, but I am sure it will be something unexpected.
I'm also planning to write Chapter 20 sometime this afternoon; I've just had the whole chapter in my head, the scenes very vivid that I have to write them down or they will definitely go to waste if left unattended.
Yeah, yeah, I know...I've written up to chapter 15 so far...so why am I finished with the final chapter and the epilogue already?
Good question.
Let me put it this way: I'm a strange writer. If I've written a story's ending before even finishing that story's main stream, then I am sure I will be able to put out the story and it won't go to waste as a forgotten fic or novel.
Confusing?
Don't force yourselves to understand, then.
Also...I have made a promise to myself that I will write my things as I see them. Yes, I can always ask for ideas, but it turns out that asking ideas have bad effects. Lucky I have
Kuya Yasu and
Karasawa Rui to tell me to calm down.
I won't let anyone else put down my writing and steer it off to where I intend it to go. Only I have that right, being the author.
So, then...I think this is the first time in months since I've posted a lenghty entry.

I've made peace with someone very important to me. My lord, I can't believe that our fight had extended for three months until I decided to strip off my pride today and apologize.
It's true that...sometimes...
saying sorry makes you feel good.
On the other hand...another issue was resolved today. I followed dear Schneider's advice and PMed the concerned person...I'm glad it has knocked some sense into him...and finally he knew how I felt about being too...too...well, disturbed.
Thank you, Schneider.
And yet again, for the thirteenth time, I have reread Prisoner of Azakaban.
I have also finished writing
War of Emperium, Chapter 21: The Void In Her Heart, and spent nearly four solid hours willing myself to feel sad so as to make a good ending scene. :sad:
But above all, I am happy today...and I can finally say that some of the weight in my chest has lifted. Thank God.

Just updated
War Of Emperium last 9:30 pm...put in two chapters... what took me so long was that the death scene in
Chapter 16: A Friend's Sacrifice, had to be rewritten and revised for six times....
But then, I think the final one wasn't so bad, especially the descriptions...
Chapter 17 was lengthy----very lengthy indeed, because I wrote it first. I'm really weird.
