SUMMARY: 

Kiyoko Shimizu started her final year in high school like any other year this past three years, but this year, however, something felt different. She was still surrounded by familiar people she'd been with since she first started as the Manager for the Karasuno High School Volleyball team, and they welcomed four newbies this year to keep their roster afloat if not brimming to the top. She was also on a quest to find her replacement before the third years had to leave the club to focus more on their studies and where they planned to go after high school.

So why was it that she felt something shifted after they started recruiting new club members?

AUTHOR’S NOTE: It’s been a while since I worked on a chaptered fanfic, and this time around I am obsessed with this anime series. I can’t guarantee a daily/weekly update, but for now I am inspired enough to have two chapters finished and posted for everyone’s reading pleasure. Check it out and lemme know what you think!

I just posted three more chapters to this original story of mine.

This was my 2018 NaNoWriMo project, and the first one that I actually hit the 50K word count goal for! I didn’t fully finish writing this manuscript until a year later, and now I’ve decided to post it on Wattpad and hopefully get some good, positive feedback from readers who might be into this genre.

This is a finished project; I’m just taking my time posting the chapters on Wattpad ‘coz each time I do, I end up finding something to edit or fix when I re-read the chapters so that takes time.

Active Again on WATTPAD

Hi! It’s been a while since I last made my presence felt on here. And it has been ages since I was last active on Wattpad. But due to some unforeseen circumstances (like me being cooped up at home since beginning of February, and no, it’s NOT coz of that nasty virus pandemic that’s scaring the whole damn world), I find myself having more time to sit in front of my computer while I recuperate.

I started moving some of my Harry Potter fanfics that I wrote over a decade ago. If you wanna read some of ‘em, then feel free to check ‘em out here:

A Valentine for Hermione (a Dramione story)

I’ll Never Get Over You (a Drinny story; one-shot sequel to another fanfic I recently moved on over to Wattpad)

Stolen Evening (another Drinny one-shot)

It’s Sad to Belong to Someone Else (a one-shot Drinny story that is the prelude to I’ll Never Get Over You)

Fairy...Witch? (my most recent fanfic that I only ever posted on Wattpad is a crossover fic that is a response to a March Madness 2020 challenge on Wattpad)

I got a couple of recently written original posted on there. One’s a WIP, and I’m entering it as my April 2020 Camp NaNoWriMo project while the other one is a finished November 2018 NaNoWriMo project.

I’ll try and be more active on here too again; posting story updates and whatnot. But anyway, enjoy your weekend! It’s Friday the 13th after all! The luckiest day of all days IMO!

Are You a Cat Parent?

Let’s face it: pets are cool. Whether we have one, don’t have one or thinking of adopting one, we all just find them amusing and adorable.

I just recently became a cat-mom and it’s no walk in the park, I tell ya, but it sure as heck made having my kitty worth all that.

Of course being a first time pet owner, I have no idea what some of my kitty’s nuances are, so thanks to good ol’ Google, I am slowly learning things to help me understand my growing kitty a bit better.

One of the things that fascinated me about my kitty is his tail never seems to be at rest. Well, it stops its wagging/moving when he’s in deep sleep, but that’s the only time I ever really noticed his tail not moving. My sister’s cat’s tail never moves as much as my kitty’s tail does, so I’m curious and want to learn more about the different cat tail wags.

Here’s a few tips to hopefully help you my fellow cat-loving parents who wants to understand their cats’ moods (and nuances lol):

5 Reasons Why Cats Wag Their Tail

Tail greeting

When two cats greet each other, you may have noticed they approach with tails extended high in the air. An elevated tail held upright is a cat’s way of saying, “Hello!” Mutual head rubbing, called allorubbing, often follows the tail greeting. Cats will also use this common tail greeting with human family members. Next time your cat approaches you, look out for a tail greeting.

Tail fear

If the hair along your cat’s tail and spine is standing upright, called piloerection, watch out. Erect hairs along the back of a cat signal fear and defensive aggression. The theory is the cat is trying to appear larger to intimidate a potential enemy. In this case, something, maybe even you, spooked them. The classic “’fraidy cat” or “Halloween cat” is often depicted with hair standing up and is a universal sign a cat means business.

The key lesson is that piloerection is the result of fear, not outright aggression. Whenever I see a cat with hair-on-end, I calm myself even more, slow down my movements further and do everything in my power to relax the cat and reassure them I mean no harm.

Tail aggression

Of course, some cats are aggressive. You can spot offensive aggression by a tail arched upwards at the base (near the body) and then curled down toward the legs. You may or may not see piloerection. This is a subtler posture and is a cat’s final visual warning before they strike.

Unfortunately, many truly aggressive cats learn to conceal this display until the last second before attacking. If you spy this tail position, back off.

Tail wagging

There are a few variations of feline tail wagging. This first often accompanies a tail greeting. This type of tail wag is identified as an easy back-and-forth wave of an upright tail. It’s a further statement that the cat is happy, comfortable and content. Much head rubbing follows. Another tail wag occurs whenever your kitty lovingly wraps their tail around your leg or arm. A gentle grasp, release and tail flipping indicates you’re loved.

A gentle, slow, side-to-side swish is another tail wag that hints play. Some cats even wag their tails this way while lying down. If you’re loving on your cat and notice the tail swish, don’t be surprised if a palm pounce follows. You’ll often observe tail swishing when playing with toys or feather dusters.

Cats will also wag and twitch their tail when deeply concentrating. These short, quick tics are typically observed when “window hunting.” The theory is cats are so focused on virtually stalking prey outside their window that they mimic some of their instinctive predatory postures.

Finally, remember that tail arched near the back and then carried down low by the legs? If you see that and a twitching tail, really back off. That really is your last warning, if you’re lucky.

Pain

I’d like to add one additional tail wag: pain. As a veterinarian, I often see cats with illnesses and injuries that cause discomfort. Because cats are incredibly adept at hiding pain, I carefully look for subtle tail twitches. If your cat isn’t feeling well and you spot them waving their tail while laying down, it could be a sign of pain. To me, that is a cat’s way of crying, “Help.” In those cases, it's always best to get to the veterinarian to check things out...

After reading this, now I am armed with a wee bit of knowledge regarding a familiar tail formation my cat seems to have: offensive aggression. I always wondered why I often see him with his tail arched like that usually, and now I know.

Hopefully you find his tip helpful the way I did. I linked the site where I found this article from and let’s all enjoy and understand our cats together.

Klaroline

I always shipped this couple ever since the first time I saw them "clash" in TVD. Theirs is a bittersweet story whose journey was filled with lots a ups and down; a love/hate relationship that started off rocky and ended up making them the best of friends. Gah, now I wanna re-watch TVD & TO, but just their scenes together.

Were you a fan of the original Fruits Basket anime?

Are you excited to watch this reboot of the popular anime and manga? I didn’t get to finish reading the manga, but I finished watching the original series and was left hanging at the way the series ended then. I heard this reboot will cover the entire manga series so yay, no cliffhangers!

Fruits Basket

Tohru Honda thought her life was headed for misfortune when a family tragedy left her living in a tent. When her small home is discovered by the mysterious Soma clan, she suddenly finds herself living with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Soma. But she quickly learns their family has a bizarre secret of their own: when hugged by the opposite sex, they turn into the animals of the Zodiac!

Watched the first episode (dubbed ‘coz I’m too lazy to read subtitles at the moment lol) and I was expecting the story telling will be done the same way the original did it, but I’m glad they didn’t. My all-time fave scene from this episode is still the ending when Kyo made his entrance & Tohru found out the Soma’s family secret. Not really feeling Shigure’s English VA though; he sounds less lewdy compared to the previous VA from the original, but I like the mature sounding Shigure this time around though.

I think this is one of the much anticipated spring anime series to come out, are you excited? Are you going to watch it? Share your thoughts. We like to know.

Thoughts on the reboot?

Charmed was enjoyable to watch back in the days when it was Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, Shannen Doherty, and Rose McGowan. But when the trailer for the reboot came out, mixed feelings arose.

Does anyone watch the reboot of Charmed? Wanna shed some light on how it is? Is it worth watching? Anything different or new to look forward to?
