It feels like
my world shattered
And I am unable to
pick up the pieces
By myself
So much like
mirror fragments
It hurts to
pick them up
and try to
be whole again

I won’t be whole
no matter how
hard I try
Piecing the shattered
remains of my heart
I feel as though
I am empty
Never full
Never whole

Never whole, ever gain -

My distorted image
Stares back at me
I have fallen
I am broken
And yet
Why do i
Even try to pick
Up the pieces

As though it would matter
That I am whole

People say I’m lucky. I don’t know whether that’s true.
People say I’m strong – tough as nails, unbreakable like steel.
But –
I’m unsure if that holds true.

I’m scared, and I hide beneath my smiles –
I fear of the uncertain future,
Of things left unsaid –
And I cower underneath my mask.

I scoff at the words ‘You’re fearless, so certain – ‘
Because how can the future be certain
When change is the only thing that is
constant in this cruel world?

My heart is clouded –
Quivering –
Shaken –
Troubled.

The path before me -
Before so clear, and yet now –
Blurry, and I cannot see
Blinded, my eyes are and –

I quail at taking a step,
My heart trembles like
A newborn unaccustomed
To the darkness.

‘Coward,’ the darkness whisper –
‘Fool,’ my heart answers and yet
I take a step back
Trying to escape.

Not a NaNoWriMo piece, but tell me what you think?
Of course, its a bit related to stuff happening IRL -
...but I'm fine, so don't worry.
This is a way for me to destress and take out
all my negative feelings. ~~NEGAVERSE ATTACK!~~

UPDATE: Writing

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 14:34:29 GMT

It's a complete mystery to me how I can just write and write and write for one series suddenly, without any warning. I mean, all of a sudden I write for it, pushing all other projects aside. Sigh. I'm supposed to be writing the following:

1. Mafia Wars Timeline (finished, actually. I just need to polish it up; hopefully this week. Hopefully?)
2. Mafia Wars Terms, Technologies, etcetera ad infinitum (I'm asking for a headache here. Thank the stars for Mark.)
3. Bend and Not Break Chapter Four (Amazingly, I already have the plot for this one here. I just wish they'd translate themselves to words instead of random images in my head! I mean, really! While I appreciate seeing them, I'd appreciate it more if somebody was seeing them alongside me.. Squeeing alone ain't fun.)
4. Canta Per Me Chapter 3 (Actually, Chapter 4 since I count prologue as one chapter. Sadly, I'm stuck on this one. Gah, Sasuke, be stubborn won't you?)
5. Danse Dans Le Ciel (A SasuHina project that I can't seem to rewrite on the pc. It looks so nice on my notebook, why can't it translate itself nicely on the pc? Why? Insert manic sobbing here.)
6. Rurouni Kenshin 100 Prompts Project (...which sadly isn't off the ground yet. Gah.)

...how I ended up writing for Ghost Hunt completely escapes me. Pah. But oh well, who am I to go against the flow?

TITLE: Only Sleeping
SUMMARY: Working on it.
CHARACTERS: All
GENRE: Supernatural / Romance / Slight Adventure
TIMELINE: After the manga left off. Slightly AU as Noll has returned to England (instead of staying at Japan).

Chapters: One / Two /

TITLE: Canta Per Me (trans. Sing For Me)
SUMMARY: Current summary is sucky. Working on revisions.
CHARACTERS: Uchiha Sasuke / Hyuuga Hinata (and some others).
GENRE: Alternate Universe / Romance / Action-Adventure / Mystical
TIMELINE: As mentioned, Alternate Universe. Totally deviates from the timeline and stage set by the manga.

Chapters: Prologue / One / Two / Three

♥ is not pretty.
Love isn't like what you read
on paperbacks and novels;
love isn't always a walk in the park.

Love doesn't always have a happy ending.

More often than not, the road is full of potholes -
of bumps in the road, of steep uphills
and crazy downhills.

Sometimes you can't help but
stumble and fall;
oftimes you stub your feet
and stop to mind the sudden pain.

The path to Love is twisted and many.
It's impossible to see where one will
end up, looking from the beginning
of the road.

Sometimes, you have to take a gamble
just to take a step forward;
to trust that you have taken the right road,
the right fork.

It takes courage to take
that one defining step forward;
a blind leap of faith that
in the end, everything will be okay.

It's a walking contradiction;
a study of contrasts;
every step is painful and yet -

Love teaches you to endure -
to be brave, to be someone new.

It teaches you that Love is a Gamble -
and drives the point home with
broken hearts and devastated spirits.

You never know for certain that what you have is true -
you only have your faith to see it through.

Standing on the edge
Between crazy and sense
Remember what I said
Nothing has to end

Won't you think it over
I'm not so good with words
I don't think you heard me
- The World is our Playground and We will
Always be home (Up Dharma Down)

I warn you: the proceeding chapters will be all about writing. In fandom. For anime series of which I am obssessed about and, most likely, be obssessed about for the next -oh, for the next 50 years or so.

You have been warned.

/startrant

Just to get this off my chest: Damnit.I miss writing Rurouni Kenshin fanfiction. I miss writing Kaoru/Yahiko/Sano interaction. I miss writing action scenes with big, shiny swords because - let's face it, nobody does sword fighting like our dear Ken-san does.

I miss writing Meiji Japan. Period.

The sad part is, the idea I have for this particular fandom isn't even canon (on the the timeline, at least). It's Alternate Universe , which means I'm still in the process of researching culture, worlds, magicks, what-not. Of course, this one will probably see the light of day around.. after five years?! After I finally get around to doing it? XD

I think the missing-Meiji-Japan-bit is interfering with it, since I kept re-writing the first part. I've re-written it so many times that Kaoru had already done her entrance to this fic like, a dozen times. Each one different.

...I think the only part that hadn't changed was Misao's, who liked her entrance just damn fine. Sadly, she was the only one who liked her part. Sanosuke tried to write himself in, but I really don't think its time for him yet.

I just wish Kaoru and Ken-san would be just as cooperative - but no, they'd have to be stubborn. Sigh. Where is my muse when I need her?

Maybe a drabble would appease my Rurouni Kenshin fix? Or maybe just plunge in and do a 100 situations challenge?

...or maybe just jump off a nearby cliff, whichever one would be easier.

/end rant

---

So anyway. That particular fandom done. I'm still on a rut with Bend and Not Break, because eh, I'm not done with the researching yet - actually, I haven't even started. ^^; ~~I got distracted by reading too much Sesshomaru/Kagome at Dokuga and FFN.~~

I'm doing well on Canta Per Me though, which strikes me funny because that was the one that I put on hold (to put more focus on Bend and Not Break). Serves me right for thinking I can outmaneuver my muse, ha. Danse Dans Le Ciel is... plodding along.

Chase This Light is on a somewhat hiatus. I know what's going to happen for the next chapter, but I don't know how to go about it since well, I'm not exactly sure about seals (and Hinata is supposed to be a seal master for this one). Maybe I could equate seals to rune/magic circles and go from there? Perhaps? I need someone to bounce ideas off this.

---

So, geekage. Mark (my better half) and I are still waist-deep in his campaign, and had my character have a major fight against one of his mini-bosses. It was the first RPG fight we've ever had in ages that involved dices (because, one way or another, I continually find loops in his rulebook that lets me exploit and renders dice rolling useless. *rolls eyes* I still say Mark couldn't resist spoiling my character a bit, eh.), and it was a bit... exciting? Frustrating? Eh, non-climactic?

Since it was a spur of the moment thing, I didn't bring my dices (Verdandi, Urd, and Skuld; yes, I have three d20 dices, and yes,I named them after the three Norse Goddesses of Fate and not Ah! Megami-sama.), he let me borrow his. and gad, he totally pawned me in dice-rolling!

Mark kept churning out almost criticals (15 and above) while miserable-I churned out almost critical failures (6 and below). It was only when he looked at the die that we were using that we realized why.

The d20 that we were using was color black - his player-killer, the one he uses when he wants to utterly defeat an idiotic player - which doesn't really occur that often, except for this one year. So all his rage and player-kill intent in this die, and here I am using it...

...of course it backfired on me, eh. It was a good thing he had two other d20s (one in white, one in violet). I used the violet one, and, finally, was able to roll acceptable strike, dodge, parry, and save scores. Huff.

But I swear, next time...

---

While I am sorely tempted to write about work, I think I pepper my Plurk with enough of it, everyday. So I'm cutting abck on it and just keeping my mind off things that are supposed to stay behind when I go home.

Ooooh, you have no idea how long I've wanted to say that! :D

Anyway. Must write.

On writing, gaming, and plot devices

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:38:55 GMT

I haven't been writing here, haven't I? I mean, I updated yesterday, but it doesn't really count since it was more of a question than anything else. Too bad you can't really delete those who friended you, only those you have a 'mutual friend' status thing.

~~Just a little note: If you'd like to keep updated with what I'm doing -although I'm warning you, it'll be more of work than anything else- you can find me~~ ~~here. And while you're there, join Plurk! It's seriously kinda fun.~~

So. Continuing. Nothing much as happened; Mark and I celebrated our 5th anniversary and seriously talked about tying the knot next year (I know, I know - I've been blathering about it for a long time already. Well, IRL.); but it looks like it'll be held up for, well, maybe another year. I dunno. I'll keep you posted? ~~Or maybe we'll just run away and get married in Vegas but then again that's going to be ridiculously expensive not to mention stupid~~.

We've also taken a hiatus from my current Pen and Paper (or good ol' fashioned Table-top RPG) character, Elisha, and just for a whim, took up one of my old characters and did a side story (that would be Celest). We're still continuing now, although its a bit of a challenge since we don't remember her skills that much. It's fun, though. Elisha is so nice and stoic that it's a relief to play someone bitchy and quiet. And with mad shadow skillz yo!

Anyway. Right now my ani-ue and I are contemplating buying an XBox 360 just so that we can play games we'd like (hello, Star Wars: Force Unleashed~! You sorely disappointed me with your PSP version T_T I sincerely hope your XBox version would be better), but Mark would like both of us to buy Wii instead, because it's seriously fun. Plus he'd like to be able to play Monster Hunter, too. ~~as if playing it on his PSP everyday ain't enough eh~~

I haven't been drawing. I miss drawing my characters. I've resorted to haunting a local bookstore's art section, i'm that deprived. I have no time left to draw though (I can just hear the horror of my art teacher - "You always make time for drawing, hija."), and all I can do is just longingly look at those sketchbooks and pencils. And colored pencils. And markers. And -

...yes, I know, stopping before I completely go to the deep end.

I've been writing, if that's any consolation. I've already finished Canta Per Me Chapter Two and Three (if you count the prologue, that is) and I'm already mid-way to Chapter Four, but due to listening to some trance/electronica music, it's getting darker than it should've been. Yay? I'm annoyed though - Sasuke doesn't like to be handled, and it shows even when I'm writing him. He's acting so OOC (in my opinion) and wouldn't listen to me! Bah humbug.

I've finished with Chapter Two of Broken Smile, and contemplating on starting on Chapter Three. I say contemplating because I'm still re-drafting the chapter outline. But oh well. It'l write itself when it's ready (so write yourself already, damnit!). Bend and Not Break is still being a mule and digging in it's heels and not wanting to be written. Well, that was a week ago ~~I've saved so many deleted scenes that I've lost count eh~~. I've finally hit upon an insipiration and should actually be writing it now, but I need to research Noh and Kabuki, first.

Jesus Christ. Where the heck am I finding the time to write all of these? I am continually in awe of ~~myself~~ my writing muses. Where the hell are they finding the energy? D:

On another note: I hit upon the realization that when I grew up, I became a potty mouth. Yeah, my mouth's so hella dirty! In both languages! I don't know whether I should thank my ani-ue or be properly horrified that I have to actually watch every itty bitty word that comes out of my mouth, un.

I'm flat-out broke. Yeah, that's nothing new. After buying like 2190384 pairs of shoes last December, yeah, I'm seriously broke. But hey, shoes! You can never go wrong with shoes.

My hair is still growing like a weed - after several years of me continually chopping it off (ever since college, it never went past my shoulders. It's like I have a hair-length phobia or something.), it's now past my shoulders. I'm growing it out because.. I'm contrary? XD

When it's long enough I might have it curled, but don't hold your breath. My officemates have continually told me they'll forsake me if I ever do go through that.

Maybe I'll have it coloured, who knows? Strangely enough, this year is turning to be unpredictable. Oh, yay.

You First Believed -

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 06:52:52 GMT

I keep finding myself singing this song, somehow. I'm reminded of my college days whenever I sing this.

YOU FIRST BELIEVED
hoku

How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star
Gazing off into the dark
Dreaming I'd see your face
Safe at home unafraid
Captured in your embrace

So many times
When my heart was broken
Visions of you
Would keep me strong
You were with me all along
Guiding my every step
You are all that I am
And I'll never forget

It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed

There were times
When I'd thought I'd lost you
Fearing forever was a dream
But it wasn't what it seemed
Placing your hand in mine
You could see in the dark
You were guiding my heart

It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And you showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed

How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star

....up until this day, I still find it apt to sing to Mark. :)

As much as I love you -

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 11:53:24 GMT

Wow. It's been a long time since I did an unlocked entry (most of my entries are friend-locked. Habit.) - so why now? Hmn.

I guess it's just.. no reason? I guess there's really no point to friend-locking entries that make no sense whatsoever. i mean, what's the point? XD

I'm still at the office, which is, of course, nothing new. I'm supposed to be finishing work, but oh well. I need to take a break anyway. Today had been pretty tough since my boss got back from his out of town trip and went back to work today, so he was barking orders left and right. Plus, he was signing documents like there was no tomorrow, lol.

I've been missing a lot of people lately, IRL and online. I haven't been going out (with the exception of dinner last night with Mark's parents. We had a night out at Metrowalk), and I guess I've been missing a lot of conventions. I haven't been texting friends, either (only Joy. Congratulations again~! Wish you best of luck!), nor calling them. I guess I've just been too busy.

It makes me wish for simpler times (like college); but then again you can't really turn back time, can you? Besides, wasn't there a saying you have to live in the present? Or something like that. Meh.

Anyway. Saturday I'm going to Makati to run an errand, then go around and just bum. Maybe go to Salcedo for their bazaar, and buy food or something. Mark's making noises about watching Max Payne in the cinemas, though. I don't know yet. I'm actually scared I might just fall asleep on the moviehouse out of sheer exhaustion, lol.

My diet is ruined; so much for resolve, sigh. But I guess I couldn't really help it if the dinner was buffet, plus it was free. Hrmn. Maybe it's a sign that dieting isn't really meant for me? Heh. Ah well. Tomorrow's thursday already. Wonder what's in store for me?

...been reading Air Gear's latest chapter, and find myself totaly lost. Must backtrack and read again. ~~I've been reading Mahou Sensei Negima and Katekyou Hitman Reborn! lately.~~

Oh, gee, look a the time! Time to go home~! Ciaossu!

Weekly Icon Challenge: Bincho-Ten, Week 01

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:20:02 GMT

Because _ligaya_ dared me to, I've decided to make icons, again. It's been a long time! This is a self-imposed challenge, which means I set the anime theme, and the variations. For this month, it's -

My promised output is a total of twelve icons for one month - and since I started late, I guess i'll just have to catch up! Here they are -

004	005	006

Well. someday, I swear, I'm going to find the layout just for me (Chi!) and stick with it for the rest of my blogging life. Or, even better! I'll finally find the time and the patience to make my own layout, and stick with it for the rest of my blogging life.

But, until miracles occur - don't hold your breath.

For now, I'm sticking to this layout - I hope this lasts a week, heh. I'm crossing my fingers. Everytime I feel stressed I hit the 'change layout' button - I don't know if it works, but then again it must, since I do it so often. And since I've changed my layout 6353573354 times this week (and most of it occurred today), then you must know how stressed I am for today (and for the past week, coincidentally).

If there's one thing that's static in my life, it's the stress level in my work. It never changes.

But, as noin_claudeand _ligaya_would say, I'm a certified work-lover, so I guess you can also say I'm just griping, and all of this is just a way for me to de-stress. I haven't reached the level wherein I'll throw the towel, though.

Anyway. _ligaya_had challenged me to at least do an icon every week for the next consecutive months - I guess, for this month, the icon set is Bincho-tan! I've been wanting to do one for ages, but never had the time. Now, it seems, I'll have to make time. and wow, I'm actually excited over this, lol. It'll be a break from work - and writing too, although writing is a pleasure on a level of it's own.

Well, back to work! I've got to go and visit a manager in the hospital later today, in behalf of my boss, so I have to finish stuff before I go. Hopefully.

Character Profile, Writing, Gundam bits, and the weekend, oh and the MEME OF DOOM!

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 02:44:25 GMT

This isn't fandom stuff, nor of my original story, so I'm putting it here. I need it as reference, since this is my current character in Mark's Pen and Paper campaign. I've been a beta tester his rulebook for what, five years running now? Wow. It predates even our relationship-as-a-couple years! My mind boggles.

So. Uhm. Yeah. Basically got a writing weekend. Oh, and went over at Mark's to celebrate our combined post Valentine's-slash-Anniversary celebration. I gave him a collector's set Mr. Potato Head as Darth Tater and Spudtrooper - which he loved, since he's a Mr. Potato Head freak and a Star Wars freak. Actually, I've already given it to him last week, since yeah, I'm obsessive-compulsive like that. Any problems? XD

He gave me a 1/44 HG Orb-01 (Or is it Orb-001?) Shin Akatsuki Gundam, which I loved, but hated the assembling part. Mark's going to assemble it for me, since he got irritated watching me doing it. Assembling, I mean. He told me I was being too 'delicate' with it.

Was I supposed to get rough with it? Lol. So we lounged at the roof with him cursing at the Gundam and all it's balljoints, and me writing comfortably. Hee. I still think I got the best part. XD

Anyway. My Aniue's working at the same building where I am, so we're having lunch together later. Geh, aniue, you sure do know how to ruin my lunch plans! Sob. And here I am with a very tasty khapsa rice lunch... [mournfully glances at her lunchbox] Too bad. Any takers? I'm willing to fax it to you just so that it gets eaten! Heh. XD

I'm going to update again in a little while, since I'm in a writing mood.

It's been four years.

It's never been easy - it's never been smooth, but through it all, you stayed with me. Four years of laughter, of pain, of tears, of grief, of shared feelings, of shared troubles - of shared happiness, of shared love. I've never been so grateful for being alive - because of you, I've learned so much.

I'm able to call myself strong, because of you. I'm able to call myself loved, because of you.

In your eyes, I see myself.

I love you. Happy Anniversary, mahal.

Harder to save the warships once they're up in flames.

Damn, damn, damn, damn. I've hit a rut in writing Broken Smile. I need technicalities regarding chakra seals (i.e. Caged Bird Seal and Sasuke's Cursed Seal, respectively), since well, the story revolves (somewhat) around seals, and how they bind.

I can't just make it up - or at least, I can make it up, but I have to make it sound plausible. Geh. I'm already on the part where Hinata explains the process to Sasuke, but meh. Why must I torture myself like this? Why can't I write a simple, romantic, non-technical story? Gah.

Excerpt: Broken Smile, Chapter Two (The Ties that Bind)

Putting the bottle -and the now empty bento- away, Hinata turned to the nin, face serious. "Now, Uchiha-san, about your seal..." She flinched when intense, dark eyes swiveled towards her, but forced herself to continue. "….if I could just study it internally and see if it loops the same way our Caged Bird seal does, then maybe there's a chance that I can re-route it to itself, thereby draining it of power and potency."

"And by draining it?"

"Once it has exhausted its limited source of chakra, then I could separate it from your own chakra pathways." Hinata bit her lower lip unconsciously. "However, the separation is also a risk in itself - if your own chakra had come to depend on the seal too much, then separating the seal from you will be dangerous. I will not recommend you to undergo that process."

So, what do you think? Plausible? I keep imagining the cursed seal to be a black, gooey parasite that leeches at it's host's chakra pathway, but that may just be me. Help needed?

Twilight in Between

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:41:23 GMT

I'm starting to think that Twilight in Between's a good title for my story. Comments?

Oh, and Twilight in Between's updated. I'll post again once I'm done with stuff (tomorrow.) Heh.

I'm off to home~! See ya~!

"…you're not that delicate at all when you eat."

Oh, wow! I'm actually writing!

Hinata merely nodded, standing up normally and lowering her guard. "In that case, Uchiha-san, I've prepared lunch for both of us," she offered with a slight smile, gesturing where the gaily-wrapped bentos lay - a splash of muted color against the backdrop of a tree. "We can also discuss the seal after we eat."

"Hn."

The two started to walk towards the shade of the tree, Hinata following three steps behind.

Suddenly: "Why do you always follow three steps behind?"

"O-oh. H-habit." Hinata stuttered, genuinely surprised by the question. "D-does it offend you, Uchiha-san? If it does, I'll-"

"Its fine," Sasuke interrupted abruptly. "Don't worry about it."

They sat down under the tree, each absorbed in their own thoughts. Only the chirping of the birds and the sounds of eating disturbed the silence. A few minutes later, with a sigh, the Hyuuga put down her chopsticks, finished. She glanced to her left to see Sasuke finished as well, already drinking from the water bottle he carried.

"Here," the Uchiha thrust another water bottle. "…you forgot yours at the training grounds when we last met."

Hinata blinked, and stuttered a soft thanks in her confusion. Unscrewing the cap, she drank, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. Looking up, she realized that the former Avenger was staring at her. "U-Uchiha-san?"

"…you're not that delicate at all when you eat."

"Uhh..?"

Sasuke sighed and stood up. "Never mind."

Haha! :3 Happy to report that the plot bunnies are back and working. Of course, this can only mean delay for Twilight in Between, but hey, I 've got to write while the going's good.

Sorry, Mii-chan, I said I've watched them all, but it turns out I haven't. Gomen gomen!
