Tae! This is such a wholesome and meaningful challenge, to you yourself and us readers ♡

May I request falling toward the moon pg 120 + kuroo? Have fun!!

it rarely ends.

i sit quietly with only the sound of my soul weeping an internal sadness. i’m breaking beneath this smile, dying in the silence of my own heartache. where do tears go when they’re not visible? where does the strength go when the heart feels weak? i’d speak but i can’t find the words. i want to scream but i can’t find my voice.

— robert m. drake / r.h. sin ,falling towards the moon, p.120

a note echoed through the walls of an empty hallway. another soon followed as the first faded out. and within a few moments of silence, the clouds broke apart.

“hey, that hand you’re holding onto is mine.”

“since when did i became your property?”

“would you hate that?”

his confident smile, the warmth in his gaze, and even the gentleness of his touch was unfair. how could he be so lovable?

your fingers traced the pearl white keys as if they were reading the words your soul was begging to let out. if words were not enough, would they lend you their strength instead?

“here’s your takoyaki! it’s hot so—”

“ouch!”

“didn’t i just said it was hot? idiot, let me see.”

“maybe if you give it a kiss it’ll get better~”

his silly smirk, playful gaze and even the faint trace of pink on his ears was oh so cute. how could you not give in to his temptation?

a note. another of a lower pitch and once more of the same note. they were hesitant and uneasy at first. the sound of rain pattering in the background were slowly drowning out your thoughts almost like a blanket of comfort, and before you know it the first drop of tear fell.

“good game!”

“it could’ve been better though.”

“but you did your best right? that’s more than enough to be considered a good one!”

“thank you.”

his hair that ruffled your cheeks, arms that rest around your hips, and even the faint words of gratitude he murmured against the crook of your neck filled your heart with warmth. how could he take over your heart so easily like this?

you wondered if it was foolish of you. they say love would turn you a fool if you loved too deeply. they say love would hurt, and it did. the pain of separation, the pain of losing a part of yourself when you let him in, you never could have thought it would happen.

notes were soaring through the music room as your fingers danced across the monochrome keys—desperate to cry out.

“what?”

“i’m sorry.”

“i...did i do something wrong? why—why are you—”

“i’m sorry...”

“no, stop apologizing. what’s wrong? tell me or i won’t understand.”

“thank you for the three years in this high school. i was really happy when i was with you, but it’s time to wake up from this dream.”

the tip of his head as he bowed, the trembling fist you could barely notice behind his back, and even the genuine smile that graced upon his lips were weighing your heart down. could this be the end?

as your fingers lifted off the piano, the sound of hands clapping got you startled back at the sudden presence behind you.

“that was so moving, y/n-sensei! could you please play it again?”

“what if i don’t want it to end?”

“then i will forget everything that we once had. wouldn’t that be the end then?”

thank you for participating my dear !! i had fun writing this abstract piece and hope you like it 💙

Behind a Book Day 3: Treasure Books have always been treasures to me, especially when in school I was only allowed one a week. They were a rare and cherished commodity. Books provided a world of comfort to me. I don't consume them as much as I used to regrettably, but they are still worth the world to me. #childhoodweekevent2020 #childhood #childhoodweek #runningbehind #books #treasure #junechallenge #hidingbehindabook https://www.instagram.com/p/CB2UeHsByep/?igshid=1uhke6i7swapi

June With Cassey Ho

At the latter part of my 2nd semester, I had this thought of starting an exercise regimen. To be honest, this was just a random thing I decided on because of the Coronavirus lockdown in my country. My goal was to include fitness in my daily life and to gain muscle strength because it is vital in my field. So, I could not prove if the program does let you lose weight as I did this with NO diet. I was actually debating whether to start with the beginner program or just dive in the June calendar. I really did believe that I wasn’t that physically weak (although I live a sedentary lifestyle), and so I chose to take the June program.

If you’re wondering how her monthly exercise plan works, it goes like this. She creates a calendar of exercises you have to do each day (there are even tick boxes which I love to cross out at the end of the workout). Each day’s set of exercises are already made into YouTube playlists which you simply have to watch and follow. Every day of the week has a respective target area so that every part of your body gets enough work as well as rest.

The main reason why I chose Cassey’s program among other fitness gurus’ is because I have experience of doing her exercises. I know, firsthand, how intense yet tolerable her workouts are hence the workout distribution is perfect for those beginning or getting back on their fitness journey. I also prefer the variety she offers throughout the month. There will be some days you will find yourself dancing and other days trying to hold a pose.

When I started the program, there were some exercises I couldn’t do -- one of which is the grasshopper move. It was like a slap in my face that I did get weaker after entering college. By the end of the 40 minutes, I would find myself sweating buckets and breathing heavily. I would advise that you do prepare a big jug of water throughout the workout. 

There were times when I didn’t feel like working out (I think many would relate to this) but I really made sure to push myself to finish it. But then at the back of my mind, I could feel Cassey telling me to stand up and just do it. This is another thing I love about her, the motivation she gives throughout her videos. She knows it’s not easy but she also knows this is what’s best for us. 

Today, I want to proudly say that I finished the entire June workout calendar and it really did allow me to grow stronger and have better endurance. I could also see my muscles getting toned for the better. There are some exercises that I got the hang of such as squats and planks. As for the grasshoppers I mentioned earlier? I could finally do them! However, other exercises still have the power have me rolling on the floor while groaning in pain. 

For my closing remarks, I just want to reiterate that this challenge was not for me to lose weight but to gain strength. The entire month was a fun filled journey  with Cassey and I hate-love every moment of it. I hope you guys try her Monthly Workout Calendar! Just be prepared to find yourself quivering at the end of each day ;)

Taking a shot at the CDQ June character design challenge - Ninja Cats. Another first attempt working from scratch using value painting to build it up. Let's call her Shinkō Ashi from 'shinkōshoku no ashi', google says it means 'crimson paw' any Japanese speakers willing to weigh in or suggest a better name? As a master assassin, silence is her companion, the coins attached to her sword signal any movement above a whisper. She prefers to make use of her innate agility and speed donning only the essentials to make her strikes more effective. #cdq #cdc #characterdesignchallenge #characterdesign #character art #junechallenge #artchallenge #catninja #ninjacat #ninjagirl #digitalart #digitalpainting #valuepainting #illustration #photoshop #pennedplaces (at Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzaaK30j1-l/?igshid=1l7q663rowsdp
