binging everything judgment day pt3

Raw 6/6/22 Cody’s tits exploded. Man Finn had to join Judgment Day in that shithole town called green bay that sucks. When Finn says “finally i see clearly” it sounds like shit directly from an irish glasses ad. 

Bliss vs Doudrop vs Morgan vs Ripley. Rhea Ripley fucks up her face. Brace face Rhea incoming. Brace face riptides Niven to win and fight Belair at MITB (which never happens because of her teeth and a brain injury. She doesn’t have another match until october of 22) 

Raw 6/13/22 kevin patrick interviews bianca and rhea interrupts. A nice segment with Judgment Day, also Rhea roasts kansas lmao. Hi braceface hehe. Masochist Rhea? And I love it when she talks all calmly like a cultist it’s hot. That’s all judgment day does on this show as the main event is *checks notes* a pose-down between austin theory and bobby lashley? WTF? WHO THE FUCK CARES?

Main event 6/20/22 mysterios(w) vs judgment day. MY BIRTHDAY!! Wow judment day has come a long way. Rey mysterio being on the main event is fucking wild. Damian and Finn DO NOT have an entrance down yet lol. DOM IS SO TINY. Damian finally gets his new pants. Why the fuck does the main event have ad breaks? Finn and Damian just beat the shit out of Dom. Aja looking cunty af. Its called a dq even tho this shit happens in every match. Where Mami? I’m more confused at the end than anything. 

Raw 6/20/22 Bianca announces rhea is not medically cleared to fight her at MITB and thats all folks.

Raw 6/27/22 i accidentally thought there was nothing judgment day here but i was wrong priest balor and the mysterious have a backstage confrontation. THE IDEA HAS BEEN PLANTED REY IS A BAD FATHER LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Raw 7/4/22 mysterios(w) vs judgment day. July 4th I sure hope don’t I don’t see a ton of america propaganda. Pre-match promo from rey and dom. SUPRISE ATTACK. Damian and Finn ‘pearl harbor’ dom and rey before the match. It was a raw match, nothing special but Rey does an eddie and gets the win via dq.

Damian and Finn beat up rey and dom dom after the match I bet this won’t last for nearly 3 months.

7/11/22 Rey vs. Finn(w). suit daddy Damian is back we are so up. Finn saying “you’re a bad father” with his accent is so fucking funny “YOU’RE A BAD FODDER!” lmao. Rey took a nasty fuckin bump in this match holy shit. Finn wins and they try to manipulate Dom again.

7/18/22 Damian(w) vs. Rey. match starts during a commercial break wtf is that. mysterios wearing my high school colors lol. Damian wins fairly clean and Rey takes the razors edge nasty as fuck god damn. Dom gets bitched around by Damian and Finn… dirty thoughts are all I know.

Damian and Finn say Dom failed ‘the test’ and that he should’ve used a chair to hit his dad.

Ok so I was skipping to Dom and Rey’s reaction to what Damian and Finn said and byron was talking to corey about when he beat him for the 24/7 title and Corey said “that’s why I drink.” LMAO I WOULD TOO. Anywho the Mysterios cut a pretty basic promo. 

Raw 7/25/22 mysterio start out with a promo on the 20 years that he’s had in wwe.

Mysterios(w) vs. Judgment day. WILL YOU STOP STARTING MATCHES IN THE COMMERCIAL BREAK WTF VINCE. Balor hit the nastiest clothesline of all time on Rey lmao. Mysterios win but not really cleanly.

Mysterios celebrate… but who gives a fuck because PAPI RHEA IS IN THIS BITCH! And ofc she’s beating up Dom. Finn with the line of all time “IT’S NOT YOUR ANNIVERSARY IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!”. Rey gets tabled… (come tooesday).

SummerSlam 7/30/22 Mysterios(w) vs. Judgment Day. (Rey’s personal sponsors are why this match happened.) PAPI! Rey with the fucking beer mask lmaoooooooooo. Some people started a ‘we want tables’ chant to which the rest of the stadium responded with a ‘shut the fuck up’ chant. RHEA HURTS DOM AGAIN (rhea hurting dom counter: 2) Edge did not need all of that for a comeback. And the Mysterios still without a clean win over judgment day.

Runeterran Culture Event

Co-leading the Culture Event at Runeterra Elementary is an absolute joy for me alongside my father Lehua. This year’s theme was Ionia, and all the 3rd to 4th years Icytians get to dress up in various characters of their favorite, cook up delicious delicacies, or retell folklore to the 1st and 2nd years of the whole academy.

Lehua knew his history and culture from all his explorations years ago, so making this perfect was a big deal since it might attract popular figures to visit. Last year was Mount Targon, and did you know who came by? TARIC. Imagine if we got to see Ahri for this year. Ugh, I could think of getting her signature on the K/DA albums.  

Lucky for some of the fresh years, they had some ties to some Ionian figures already! So the decision to make Ionia this year’s theme was perfect. 

I should dress up as one of those vastayans! I know one that fits my personality so well. I’ll go surprise Dad with this. Hehe! And then bother Kyira from her studies to join the fun too! Pretty sure Rahiro could chime with ideas too for the Ionian Culture Event and that he would definitely make sure Kyira she had fun every now and then, rather than just making her Gentoo Tribe proud. 

Oh, Dad’s calling for me! It’s time for the surprise. I’ll check in later. 

Signing off,  Alyira, 4th Year

[tellemeyourstory]

thank you, 2022!

just like any other years that have passed, 2022 wasn't all rainbows and butterflies. i have experienced different things that surely made me stronger. well, to summarize my year, it was full of breakdowns and self doubt that were really far from what i have promised my self to achieve before the year started. i really wanted to resign, to submit my resignation letter that was drafted way back march? two of my workmates that i have known since i started working there already resigned. the one who also trained the three of us has already resigned too. i will be honest. i am not happy with my work. i have already mentioned that here a couple of times already and nothing has changed with that fact. i am still not happy. i don't feel any success after the countless overtime. i am still staying because i haven't found a new job yet and i need to pay bills and buy food. so, hopefully i can already submit my resignation letter and finally move on to next chapter. something fulfilling. the last election was something i know i will look back. the pink movement is one of the proudest moment for me this year. i attended the event for kpop fans for leni way back may and i will forever be proud of that. i remember crying when the results were out. it was heartbreaking. but i will forever be proud that i voted for the right candidates. kulay rosas ang bukas :) i saw my friends this year too. i really missed bonding with them and i'm super thankful that i had fun with them last 2022. i also won gen ad ticket for be you concert with red velvet as their guest. i joined a twitter retweet contest and i won! the winners were announced just a night before the concert so i wasn't really prepared for that. i was really close to accepting the fact that i won't be seeing the girls this year. but, i guess God heard my wish :) it was so surreal. i can't believe that it happened. i got to hear them sing my all time fave, psycho, feel my rhythm, red flavor, queendom, and hello sunset. i will always be thankful for this experience :) i also got to attend event for exo-ls' birthday this year that i wished to attend even before. i got to meet new friends that reside with the same city as mine! i celebrated my birthday this year with my grade school best friend. we went to the dessert museum. it was a rainy day. we haven't talked for a year i guess but the bond is still there :) lastly, i attended be you 2 concert and i saw xiumin, chen, tvxq, and boa! the journey wasn't easy especially with the ticketing. i did not receive a confirmation email for the pre-selling so i was not able to get my desired seat. still, i got vip seated 113, 4th row, seat 1 (i just want to remember that hehe). i saw them not super close esp xiumin my bias because he did not go around our area, but i saw chen upclose!!! hopefully, i can attend exo concert too if there's one (let me get my desired seat please!). and that's it. that was some of the memories for 2022. i have so many goals and dreams for this year of 2023 and i hope to achieve them with so much heart and passion :D

3:40 AM thoughts

Jake ended up not being able to make it at the rest of the events we had discussed about which was a bummer. He leaves back to Indiana today. Probably will see each other again sometime in the winter during the holidays. Matching christmas pj's year 2?? haha jk.

It's been an eventful week. My mom said that I looked happier and was glad I was seeing my bestfriends Karen and Cathy often. I'm really working on strengthening these relationships and stepping away from dating. I do occasionally swipe when I'm restless at night but other than that I'm not actively pursuing or putting too much effort. I am giving up on the grind haha. Maybe something will naturally come my way.

06/30/2022: I woke up at 1 PM and then was feeling super tired so I went back to bed thinking I'd probably naturally wake up in an 1-2 hrs. Instead, I slept until 7 PM. Terri and Cat were super concerned about not hearing from me so they showed up to my HOUSE to force me to get up and eat something. Haha is it depression or a singular episode of hypersomnolence??

07/01/2022: Woke up pretty late as well probably 3 PM? Got ready and lounged around the house until Terri was up from her post-shift nap. We had KBBQ at Star for dinner. Kinda nostalgic going to that spot. We listened to our stomachs with stethoscopes to hear the digestion. Haha seriously bubbly stuff. After I went home and showered then got ready to go to the rewind event with Cat and her coworkers. I don't really remember anyone's name. Pregamed at Cat's and she asked me to bring lemonade and chasers. I was under the impression that her coworkers would be joining us too so I bought each person an individual lemonade bottle. RIP to just being us. The vibes at the club weren't it so we took a detour and uber'ed over to Hopscotch in Fullerton! It was such a fun time! Ended up running into Nick and caught up with him for a bit. It's been a few years. We dated when I was 18-19 almost 20 ish?? Definitely very different people now obviously. It was fun bringing up inside jokes that we forgot existed. Cat and I met a guy at the bar and turns out his friend ditched him. I noticed they were kinda into each other so I did my best to be a background character. Nice dude drove us home. Cat wasn't paying attention and accidentally routed us to an address in Westminster. I asked him if he could just drop me off at my house since it was nearby and that I would have my brother take me to get my car at Cat's tomorrow. I def do not want to be the 3rd wheel in this situation. Awk for me to be on the couch sleeping while hearing them banging lol.

07/02/2022: I packed up extra clothing, toiletries, and things I needed to stay at Karen's for the weekend (again hehe). This time by popular request I brought Butters along with me. He was such a good dog! So mild tempered and friendly. Everyone who lives with Karen has been so stressed out because of their summer associate jobs. This day we went to The Grove to eat at the Farmer's Market. Invited Julius because he's new to LA and wanted to make some friends so I've been inviting him to things! I can't say that I'm interested because of his mannerisms that give me the ick. At the end of the night, we started on making jello shots for the July 4th party with all the housemates. When everyone left, I stayed up watching Stranger Things and finished season 1!

07/03/2022: I wasn't planning to get up at 12 for brunch with Karen and Nicoletta since I slept at 5 am. But, I did and don't regret it! We went to Urth Cafe and it was lovely catching up with Nicoletta. The last time we saw each other was also around Christmas break as well. We found a Glossier store down a block so we headed over and tested/bought some products. Got back to the house at around 4:00 PM and watched about an hr and half of Hotel Hell with Nicoletta before she headed out. Karen and I took a nap until 5:00 PM which was when Cathy came over. We played with Butters, took him for a walk, and lounged in the couch talking about things that happened during the day and week then ordered SugarFish to go. We continued to make jello shots but all of a sudden Butters started to dry heave and I had to do the doggy heimlich maneuver to help him throw up. Then he had diarrhea from separation anxiety from me. Poor baby, Cathy and I dropped him back off at his owners place since we didn't want him to accidentally eat anything that fell off of people's plates at the 4th of July party. Took around 45 mins to get into OC to drop him off then after I picked up Terri to get dessert with us. After we went back to her house to watch Stranger Things. Cat ended up sleeping over at Terri's but I went home because I was too tired. Also didn't want to drive another 45 back to LA.

07/04/2022: Got up around 1 PM, got ready, picked up Terri, then picked up an order Karen made at an OC weed dispensary. I got myself to 10 mg hybrid gummy edibles. It's been a while since I had purchased any weed. Def will be helpful with my anxiety and restlessness at night. Then drove to Karen's in LA. It's 4:14 AM now and I'm feeling too tired to go into detail about the party. I'll do it tomorrow and add photos!!

Goood night

late night talks. | k. hongjoong

a/n: hehe my brain kept going brr every time i tried to finish this so i understand if this was a bit sucky. please excuse any mistakes, and feedbacks are very much appreciated! 🥺✨💖

word count: 3k+

main focus: hongjoong x fem. reader

warning(s): none, really!

“y/n, our life saviour, our queen!” you heard wooyoung’s dramatic wailing as he instantly engulfed you into a hug as soon as you stepped foot into mingi’s apartment, where you and the boys were gathered for a sleepover during the weekend.

with a roll of your eyes, you knew exactly the reason why he was suddenly all clingy. your hands were full of snacks and drinks that they had wanted you to buy on your way to the place for the sleepover, though of course, maybe some extra few snacks for them as well. 

totally not because of you wanting to spoil them, not at all.

“wooyoung, i swear you’re gonna make me drop these snacks all over the place if you don’t let me go.” you whined, your tone laced with feigned annoyance as you spoke. 

being the cheeky boy as always, wooyoung merely gave you one last squeeze in the hug before dragging you further into the apartment where the rest of the boys were as he announced your arrival. 

there in the living room, you watched as jongho and san were sat on the carpeted floor. the two had their eyes glued to the television with their thumbs furiously mashing against the buttons of the controllers in their hands, giggling to yourself as you watched san throwing his head back with eyebrows all furrowed as it seemed like he had lost a match against the other boy before letting out a whine to rematch.

yeosang and mingi were sat on the couch as they watched the two boys with amusement written in their eyes, yeosang occasionally making witty remarks as he watched the gameplay while mingi acted as if he was the spokesperson throughout the game. it was only when wooyoung mentioned that you were there that the boys turned their heads to look at you, immediately greeting you with a huge smile on their faces before mingi stood up to give you a tight hug to which you returned with your free arm, moving the plastic full of snacks so it would be dangling on your arm. 

“woah, you bought a lot of snacks!” yeosang exclaimed, popping up next to you as his eyes were trained on the bags full of the said items, then stretching his hand out so he could help you carry them, which you gladly accepted as soon as you started to feel your hands growing a little tired.

“hongjoong and yunho are in the kitchen with seonghwa!” you heard jongho say, you sending him a grateful smile in response as you let your legs lead you to the kitchen, where the mentioned boys were in, with yeosang already a few steps ahead of you. 

that would explain the delicious smell wafting into your nose as soon as you stepped foot into the small apartment. no doubt the trio were probably cooking up something in the kitchen for tonight’s dinner. 

walking into the kitchen, you instantly saw hongjoong. or rather, almost bumping into the brown haired boy as it looked like he was about to exit the kitchen. with a sheepish smile plastering itself on your faces, you sidestepped to let him pass through but of course he couldn’t read your actions as he mirrored yours, ending up in the same position as before. with a second try, it only led you to the same result with the two of you sharing a sheepish chortle.

by the third attempt, and before you could even move, hongjoong moved his hands to rest themselves on top of your shoulders so you wouldn't budge, promptly turning the both of you around so you were in the kitchen, and hongjoong was right outside. with one last shy smile from the boy, he turned around to join the rest of the boys in the living room, telling the boys to clean up the mess in the living room so they could gather in for dinner later on instead of the small kitchen.

being mingi’s best friend since you were in 4th grade, the two of you were pretty much attached to the hip with how close the both of you were until you started college, due to both being in different classrooms. you were thankful that mingi would still find you whenever the both of you had lunch together, and it was also from there that you were introduced to the new friends mingi had made in his class. though, the first meeting was rather awkward for you, really. 

you see, being a shy person, it was a little difficult for you to mingle around, much less in a loud group. however, that didn't mean you were completely lonely either as you had a few other friends in the other classes you took if mingi was not in any of them. you tend to hear people joke about how mingi was the extroverted friend who adopted an introverted you, which you can't deny. it was kinda true in some way.

after being introduced to mingi’s friends and spending a little more time with them when they invited you out to join them at a pizza place one time, you had learned that they were entertaining to be with, even finding yourself cracking a few jokes here and there, mingi watching you proudly from the side.

yet, as much as you enjoyed the boys’ company, there was still someone who somehow you had a hard time interacting with. dark brown haired boy, the one who would always seem to have his nose buried in his notes with earphones plugged in his ears, lips moving silently as he read through the words he wrote out.

kim hongjoong.

it wasn't because he was giving you a cold shoulder nor was he ever rude to you by all means! rather, he seemed to shy away from you whenever you tried to start a conversation with him. you brought up the topic with mingi one day, a pout on your lips as you wondered if there was anything wrong with you or you said the wrong thing for hongjoong to act that way around you. but your taller friend could only laugh, patting your head reassuringly to say that hongjoong was merely a shy person. 

of course, that was a year ago. 

now, hongjoong has finally started to warm up to you, even to the point of letting you listen to some of his songs before the other boys could, wooyoung whining in a playful manner in the background as you got to be the first person to listen to the former’s piece. it was no surprise he was immersed in his own little world back then due to majoring in music in college. 

“earth to y/n?” you heard a deep voice reaching into your ears, making you snap back into reality, eyes instantly meeting seonghwa’s raised brow. 

it seems that the only people left in the kitchen were seonghwa and you, wondering to yourself how long you had been standing in the middle of the doorway to the point you failed to realise yunho had already left. 

“what’s going on in that head of yours, little one?” you heard him say, never failing to throw in the little nickname he had for you, as he was busily stirring the pot’s contents.

waving it off as nothing, you walked over to his side before rolling up your sleeves in case he needed any help, mouth already watering from the scent of stew filling your senses. as if he could sense your hunger, seonghwa could only chuckle as he gently asked if you could prepare the bowls and plates for all of you, to which you gladly did so. 

it only took you a little more later for you and the boys to finally gather in the living room as all of you shared the events that had happened prior to the sleepover over dinner, giggling to yourself at how the wooyoung and san teased the oldest of the boys, who was playfully threatening to stab them with a fork. but all of you knew he would never as he had a soft spot in his heart for all of his close friends.

after dinner, all of you had cleaned up the living room before changing into your sleeping attires, deciding to play a game of among us before bed. that was when the chaos would start.

you watched the boys with amused eyes as hongjoong and yeosang kept suspecting mingi for being too quiet when in reality he was just doing his tasks. your eyes went wide in disbelief as soon as your character died in the game just as you were about to finish starting up the reactor, lifting your gaze from your phone to silently glare at jongho, not wanting to out him for the sake of fairness of the game, the boy having a proud smirk playing over his lips yet he remained stoic throughout the whole round. 

as soon as yunho reported your body, all hell broke loose. a series of accusations thrown in after another, jongho actively making the others turn against one another, mingi yelling that he kept messing up the swipe card task in admin when seonghwa asked why he had stood there for a long time.

“it’s yunho! he self-reported the body!” wooyoung yelled out, pointing an accusing finger over at yunho, the latter’s eyes widening in surprise at the sudden claim.

“you were with me the whole time, i even scanned in medbay!” he defended.

“oh right, never mind.” 

sadly, the round was skipped as jongho ‘claimed’ it was far too early in the game to vote someone off just yet, much to your dismay. 

in the end, jongho had won the game, him cheering as he threw his arms up in the arm. yunho pouting playfully as he sulked, saying he had the last task until yeosang died in the game. you could only offer him a light pat on his shoulder.

“it’s okay, at least you didn’t die a minute into the game.” you say, earning a round of chortles from the boys. 

“another round in a different map this time?” hongjoong asked, which all of you agreed without a word.

needless to say, the remaining few hours before sleep were spent playing the game where trust amongst yourselves was nowhere to be seen along with shared laughs at how each of you kept accusing the wrong person. without your knowledge, you fail to realise a pair of eyes that had kept glancing your way throughout the whole game. 

❁❁❁❁❁❁❁❁

you woke up with a start, body immediately sitting up on the couch you were currently situated on as you felt your breathing growing all ragged, eyes frantically looking around the place as if you were afraid that you would still be stuck in the horrific dimension you dreamt of earlier prior to waking up. 

to your relief, your eyes were not met with the spiraling dark abyss of your dream didn’t apply to the waking world. only, the familiar decoration of mingi’s apartment was what your pupils had set on. looking off to your side, you saw how the other boys were already peacefully asleep, most likely all tuckered out from the games all of you and the boys played earlier.

san was tightly hugging an extra pillow close to his chest next to wooyoung and yunho, the latter slept on his back peacefully as light snores left his lips. at first, you couldn’t really tell who was the one all curled up underneath the blanket right next to jongho, but with the tufts of blonde locks peeking out underneath, you could tell it was yeosang. on his left, was mingi who slept with his mouth slightly ajar, his leg was placed over yeosang’s lower half while seonghwa took space of the more larger couch than the one you were on. but one of the boys were missing, and that would be hongjoong.

judging by the sliver of light that had peeked out from the door near the hallway, which was the bathroom as you recalled mingi had pointed out earlier when you arrived at the apartment when you needed to use, you had made the conclusion that hongjoong had gotten up earlier than you to use the bathroom. 

checking the time on your phone, you realised that you had woken up in the little hours of dawn. despite still feeling the heaviness of sleep weighing on your eyes, you were still a tad shaken up from the dream you had earlier. the image was still fresh in your mind every time you close your eyes. it was then you decided to make your way to the balcony to clear your mind, tiptoeing carefully as to not wake the other boys up, or accidentally stepped on them. 

as soon as you stepped foot on the balcony, quickly shutting the sliding glass door behind you, you were met with the shining light from the moon, the cool night breeze gently caressing your skin to leave goosebumps in its wake. a contented breath was heaved out of your lips once you leaned against the railing, the cool metal pressed against your arms yet you paid no mind to it while your gaze was plastered on the stars shining around the moon. 

“don’t lean too much or you’ll fall.” 

you jumped ever so slightly at the sudden voice, immediately tearing your eyes away from the sky to the figure making themselves present next to you, mimicking your position against the railing. a low breath left your lips as a hand rested itself on your chest, calming your heart. 

“you scared me, joong.” you replied, only to receive a quiet chortle from the male next to you. judging by the slight rasp in his voice, you figured that he had just woken up just before you did. 

“can’t sleep?” he asked, leaning against the railing as his head tilted to the side in question.

a little smile made its way over your lips before turning your gaze back to the sky’s canvas once again, giving hongjoong a brief opportunity at how the moon’s light shone against your features. from the curve of your cheekbones, to your eyes that could rival against the stars with how they seemed to glint with unspoken emotions in them. 

“a bad dream, rather.” you answered, the dark brown haired boy nodded understandingly. 

“would you want to talk about it?” he offered, moving a bit closer next to you, the both of you now standing side by side underneath the moonlight. 

with the sight of you growing a bit hesitant followed by a shake of your head, hongjoong could feel a slight twinge in his chest. not because of how you rejected his offer, but rather the slight fear in your features washing over for a split second before it was replaced with a smile on your lips made you look vulnerable. reaching a hand out, he gave your head a gentle stroke, murmuring how it was alright if you didn’t want to do so.

you, on the other hand, felt your body freeze at the touch before relaxing into his touch, somehow finding comfort. the action was small, yet it managed to give you quite an impact as you find yourself leaning against his touch. 

“we can talk about anything you want to keep your mind off of it until you are ready to go back to sleep, we can even stand in silence, and i’ll be okay with that.” you heard him say, his tone laced with a welcoming warmth that sent your mind at ease. 

and with that, you agreed. the two of you stood in the balcony staring up at the moon while talking about whatever had crossed your minds that ranged from what your favourite colours were to what had made you decide to choose the courses you were currently majoring in. 

it was a rare moment between the two of you to be able to talk so openly like this, and if you were being honest, the you back then would probably be in disbelief to know that hongjoong and you could actually talk about any topics that came to mind without the tense atmosphere, or rather, not anymore. but you weren’t complaining, you are pretty much thankful that the two of you finally started to open up more with each other. 

“joong, do you remember when we first met?” you asked, slightly surprised to see him already looking over at you once you turned to look at him. 

with a hum, hongjoong turned around so his back was rested against the railing, arms folded in front of his chest as his lips pursed in thought.

“we met when mingi invited us to lunch on his first day of college, no?” you couldn’t help but to smile at yourself, he remembered.

“well.. remember when we were so awkward with each other?” you added, hongjoong emitting a low chortle at the memory, slightly cringing at the same time as well. 

“i thought you hated me on our first meeting with how quiet you were.” you said, the male’s eyes widened at your sudden confession, quickly reassuring you that was not the case. 

“it’s more like, i didn’t know how to interact with you.” he answered after a brief moment, a hand rubbing the back of his neck. 

your head tilted ever so slightly to the side in question, patiently waiting for him to continue whatever he had meant by that. though it would be a lie to say a rush of thoughts made its way through your mind from all the possibilities of what he had thought about you when the two of you first met each other. 

“though, i am not at all saying i saw you in a negative way or anything like that!” he defended after seeing the conflicted expression painting over your face, the two of you now staring into each other’s eyes, your own widening in surprise. 

“something about you somehow made me feel a little nervous to the point i didn’t know how to act around you, as ridiculous as it sounds.” hongjoong added, feeling the tips of his ears grow warm, purposely avoiding your gaze on his face by staring down at the dimly lit streets below.

silence made itself present between the two of you, and hongjoong swore that he could almost hear your eyebrows furrowing out of confusion, clearly not understanding by what he had meant by that. 

“and.. why is that, if i may ask?” he heard you say, confusion evident in your tone as you spoke.

now gathering enough courage to look at you, the brown haired male reached a hand out to gently tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, the corners of his lips twitching up into a gentle smile as the hand that tucked your hair rested itself atop of your head. 

“you intrigue me, one way or another, y/n l/n.” he said, the simper on his lips growing wider upon catching the slight pinkish hue itself blooming itself over your cheeks. 

“mingi was right, you do get flustered easily.” he teased, a clear attempt to lighten the atmosphere, causing you to sputter out gibberish words in response along with a light slap against his shoulder. 

“and hit hard.” he groaned, rubbing a hand on the spot where you hit.

“that’s for making me think that you hated me or something back then, you dummy.” you merely replied with a shrug, a cheeky smirk curving your lips at the way hongjoong stared at you after letting out a scoff. 

the both of you stared at each other in silence for a few more seconds before bursting into a fit of giggles, hongjoong playfully nudging his shoulder against your own while you retaliated with a nudge of your hip against his. the two of you spent a little while longer in the balcony than you intended just talking underneath the moonlight until you could feel the sleepiness starting to become apparent after feeling how heavy your eyelids were getting. 

this, did not go unnoticed by the other. 

“head on in and get some sleep, okay? i heard mingi’s planning to bring us to the new cafe in town down the street.” you heard him say as you stifled a yawn behind your closed fist with a nod of your head. 

“what about you?” you asked, pushing yourself off of the railing.

“i’ll stay here for a bit, i’ll go in soon, i promise.”

with that, you could only nod your head in reply as you made your back inside, not before bidding the brown haired male a gentle ‘goodnight’, to which he returned with a wave of his hand. once he was sure you were inside and the sliding glass door was shut behind you, hongjoong switched his gaze back up to the sky as he heaved out a low sigh out of content.

“you really do intrigue me, muse.”

Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 6x14 Page 23

Okay what episode do we have today?

Ah okay, a Regina centric. That’s cool.

Is that the same guard Snow stripped naked in 1x16? Whaaaat?! Just looked it up and it totally is! Awesome call back! I’m going to name him Jim.

Oh my God, she killed Jim!!

Wait, so this has to be after Heart of Darkness.

The terrified look on that woman’s face when Regina strokes her chin, looks at her longingly and tells her she loves her. Omg Regina was in love with this woman all along! It was never about Daniel. It was about Christina! I’m naming her Christina. 

They are my otp now.

How did Tinker Bell get out of neverland? Pan decides when people leave, and I doubt he’d let her leave just to pay a visit with the Evil Queen. But then and again maybe it was all part of his big plan.

Oh. Pixie dust doesn’t dictate who your true love is. It just shows you possibilities. That’s not what you said before, Tinker Bell!

Regina, we all know you spared her because she’s your ex-girlfriend.

Actually, this visit from Tinker Bell is odd because she doesn’t seem angry at all like when she, like, wanted to kill Regina in 3x03. How did she go from, “okay. I lost my wings because of you but it’s all cool. I just want my otp together.” to “I’m gonna f***ing drug you with pixie dust and rip your heart out!”?

Also, this is the Evil Queen I like to see. So cold, terrifying and breaking on the inside. I’m not a fan of the humorous one in 6x02. I wish Split Queen was more like this as well. Ah different writers and director. Interesting.

Split Queen: “…not some burlap-loving peasant who sleeps on dirt.” Wish Robin: “Excuse me, I sleep on hay.” Important distinction!

Snow’s so excited about the wedding, bless her.

Lol Zelena just drags Emma’s hand to look at her ring. My girl loves shiny things! And how could I forget, her otp is getting married! She is in heaven right now!

I love Emma just casually talking to Zelena like they’re gal pals at a sleepover. More of this please! 

I can see what sqers say about this scene. Regina really does look hurt by the notion of Emma getting married. There is no heterosexual reason for her to react like this unless she’s in love with Hook. I think this is the only time they hug. Man, I feel so bad for sqers because upon this rewatch I can really see where they are coming from with that interpretation. It’s definitely there. And then they hug because Emma’s getting married to someone else. I would be so upset if that was my otp. What am I talking about, I watched 10 seasons of Smallville as a hardcore Chloe x Clark shipper. I think this exact scenario played out and it freaking hurts! 

In other news, I am so in love with Snow. Have I mentioned that? I feel like I haven’t mentioned it in a while and it needs to be said. 

I’m also in love with David, in case you forgot. I want to join their marriage. Can I join their marriage? I’m joining their marriage. Emma, I’m your mummy now. Don’t think about the age difference too much. 

I’ve eaten a lot of chocolate already today. Can you tell? I feel so alive! I want to share my social security number and be freeee!! I am trying to block out my anxiety about having to move house again next friday. Yep, that’s right, 4th place in two years. I think I will write all of these high on chocolate.

What would happen if you cut your hair with those sheers? Or your garden bush? No, that is not a euphemism, you dirty bastards (affectionate). 

I haven’t had a haircut in 10 years. Holy cow! That’s why my afro is so big, it’s full of secrets. 

Nemo is your dad now, Hook. Even though I’m pretty sure he’s a lot younger than you. 

He called him “My boy.” hehe.

I remember when I thought Hook and Rumple had the same mother. That would have been quite the twist.

I thought that vase of flowers was a giant cauliflower. Did you know broccoli, cauliflower, cabbages, brussels sprouts and turnips are all related? I wonder what thanksgivings are like when they all get together. Probably not fun for them. 

See what I did there xD? 

Emma: “This is my fault. I’m the one who convinced you to bring him here. It’s on me.” Regina: “Emma, you don’t have anything to make up for. You were just trying to help.” Omg, this compared to when she told Emma she’d ruined her life because Emma saved Marian. The development. I really appreciate this change because I nearly lost it with Regina when that was her attitude. 

Screw it, I’m making bean enchiladas. Brb. I’ll save you some!

I’m back! They’re in the oven. Anyone wants the recipe hmu! They’re veggie! 

You just know Split Queen and Wish Robin have a sexy dungeon in their castle. They just do.

Enchanted ropes would have been useful in so many situations.

The enchiladas are ready! Repeat after me, Becky: “I will remember oven gloves this time, I will remember oven gloves this time.”

Robin is so into Split Queen. He wants her to live with him and everything, even though they just met. 

I don’t think that arrow would have taken her to Robin since it takes her to the thing she loves most. She can’t love someone she’s never met. We all know it would shoot Christina right in the ass. That’s true love biatches! Evil Peasant 5ever!

Oh snap! Emma found Hook looking at himself killing her grandfather??! I completely forgot about this!

Why does she say, “That’s David’s father”? Why doesn’t she say, “That’s my grandfather,” or “That’s my dad’s dad”? She hasn’t called her dad ‘David’ in years. It’s like she’s trying to separate herself from the victim as much as possible.

She’s not even a little bit upset he killed her dad’s dad? That that event caused her father so much pain? She’s just infuriated that he tried to burn his memory. I mean, yes, she should be angry about that but where’s the empathy for her dad at least? I didn’t know any of my grandfathers well but if I found out I was engaged to someone who did that I would be angry for my grandparent, angry for my parent and angry for myself. I’m just speechless that that’s all she cares about. It seems so out of character. But then and again Regina had her other grandad killed. 

And now he’s gonna leave because he rightfully got told off. Can’t say I’d offer the same thing but she said, “until you’re ready” not “you’ll never be ready”, dude. 

I think he’s just scared David will punch him in the face at this point. It’s the only explanation for doing the exact opposite thing Emma asked of him.

“Captain Hook is always welcome on the Nautilus.” More like welcome on the naughty list after that stunt.

She doesn’t want a man, Henry Sr. She just confessed her deep, passionate, sexual love for Christina like 20 minutes ago, remember? Sometimes I wonder why I bother. It’s not even subtext, dude. Get it together, man.

Why don’t they fight themselves with magic?

Her dad is so heartbroken the person Regina hates most is herself. 

That is really sad that the person she hates most his herself. I can relate.

Yes! Launch those apples at yourself! 

My conversations with myself be like-

Oh boy. This is too reminiscent of conversations with myself. Yes, I sword fight myself wearing a fancy black, cleavage-revealing dress in my head all the time. Only joking, I wear trilby hats. 

Oh okay. Now they’re tying each other up. I see what this is really about. I still haven’t bleached the “we do like it rough, don’t we Regina?” line from my mind. 

I suppose she did take back some of her own darkness. But I was hoping she would just merge herself back together. That would have been a really predictable outcome, but I just would have preferred it. 

This scene is so weird lol, but it helped me tremendously. I used to hate myself so, so much. You don’t even understand. It was like a violent hatred for myself for not fitting in and for every single little mistake I’d ever made. Then with a lot of self- healing and the help of this episode I began my journey into loving myself. I wrote on a sticky note “Love yourself. If the Evil Queen can do it, so can you.” and stuck it to my wall. Nothing I’ve done is comparable to what the Evil Queen has done and if she can learn to love herself, why can’t everyone else. Anyone who’s struggling with self-hatred, please take this episode to heart. You are worthy of love, most importantly from yourself. Any time you find yourself hating yourself just try to remember this scene and that the flipping Evil Queen of all people recognised the importance of self-love and didn’t give a damn what anyone else thought. She damn well gave herself a chance. I’ve heard a good technique is looking in the mirror and telling yourself what you love about you. Even if you’re not feeling it at first, you could get into the habit of it and your brain will start to accept those words as true. Because they are true.

Aww she sees the Charmings as her family. 

Regina: “it did give me hope when I needed it most, and that is just as important.” Oh my God, preach the word Regina! Regina is preaching with fire today! 

It’s like she’s having a therapy session with herself. I need to do that. I really do. Then I need to get actual therapy lol xD. But baby steps! 

Okay. A loophole as to how he can change Split Queen’s story. You know what, at this point I’ve learnt just to go with it.

Can Snow and Zelena be best friends? Please. It’s literally all I want in life. And to join Snowing’s marriage. I’m not asking for much. I’ll talk about it in self-therapy.

Henry’s got Gideon’s haircut now. He wants to be cool like his uncle.

I want to look at myself with the love and adoration Regina looks at herself with. We should all get to that point where we look like we’re about to intensely make out with ourselves when we look in the mirror. 

I know what they were doing with page 23. I just wish Split Queen had changed her outfit so it could have been exactly like the page illustration. But I don’t think it was meant to predict the future. It was just one of Isaac’s fanfictions, wasn’t it? Hmm. I think it was a mystery to him as well if I can remember correctly.

It’s nice that oq shippers got their ship in the end in one form.

Snow is just constantly high up to her eyeballs on hope, bless her. 

Emma needs a dog. She seems like such a dog person.

Also, that enchilada was yumilicious, if I do say so myself.

[ange-screams]

When I was 11, I was asked if I would want to compete for our school in an event (Junior Student Convention). The first one was one of the two that I did for it. "Noah's Ark" got 3rd place, and the one before it was 4th.

When I turned 16, I joined again but in the national tier (National Student Convention). "Mga Magsasaka" didn't place, but it was very neat to have caught the attention of the wife of the head. That same year, I taught a junior on how to do cross stitch with a piece I was never able to finish for NSC.

I am doing commissions because really, I want to use the 8 month break from studies that I have to do something.

Cross stitch pieces are great gifts and are very personal. I actually made one for a rush Christmas exchange gift 2 years ago. Hehe.

Sorry for the lengthy post. It's just, this is my first time making a very personal post, and well, doing commissions in general. Just hit me up if you're interested. ^_^

Happy 2019 everyone!!!

2016: A year full of ACHIEVEMENTS

2016 has been a very good year for me. Just like what I wrote in the title, it was a year full of achievements. As this year ends, I want to look back some memories that made my year meaningful.

Early this year, I had spent my Clinical Setting Internship at Estrellas Nex Care, an in-patient Psychiatric Facility in Kamuning, Quezon City. Most patients they have are elders, although there are also some mid-aged people. The 200 hours I spent there was full of fun, quite challenging but of course full of learnings.

Also in January this year, I had given the chance to watch Sunday Pinasaya live occupying a VIP seat. All made possible by my Ate Mhel, who is a member of Aldenatics fans club. We did not have the chance to get a picture with him and with the other cast of SPS, but I’m still very happy because it’s my first time to see Alden Richards. Hihihi!

The next significant thing that happened to me is being able to be part of the committee for our annual Psych Night with the theme Holywood: Glitz and Glam. I think it’s been a good timing that I took my School Setting Internship late last year and so I was given the task to come up with the design for our ticket and for the tarpaulin backdrop. Doing those things is not easy but I really enjoyed doing it .. may be because my creative side took over. It’s also a good feeling when I get to see people who attend our party enjoyed a lot. Also, during the awarding ceremony, I received the Class Alpha award for the 4th year level. It’s one of my dreams since I was in 2nd year (the year that Class Alpha Awards Started) Hehe! It was fulfilling that I finally made it this year, my final year in College.

Before nearly completing my 200 hours of duty in Clinical Setting, I and my friends had a dinner at Café Nenzo in Bulacan. We had some time to reminisce our memories and what we used to do on the same day during the past years. We came to an idea that it’s a relief that while others (lower year levels) were busy reviewing for their exams while we tend to enjoy a delicious meal together. Hahaha! It’s a special thing to remember for me because it’s our first time to eat in a fine dining resto and we’re almost complete.

The next meaningful event that happened to me this year is of course my Graduation Day last March. All students were looking forward for that day to come in their life and I finally experienced mine. After all hardships and sacrifices that me and family had, it’s such a great blessing that happened. My parents were not able to finish their studies up until College. That’s why I know that it’s their dream for us to attain the education they didn’t get. I’m happy that I made them proud that day, being able to come to PICC and witnessing my Solemn Investiture.

While resting after my Graduation, my College BFF, Jaecel had join a run way fashion model search and I’m proud of her as I watched her conquer the stage. It’s her first time to join a fashion / modeling competition and so it’s very meaningful for us as we are her friends.

Getting deeper, my graduation it’s really the best idea to be brave and take the risk in reviewing for the Board Exams. Along with this, is the right choice that me and my friends made as we chose to be part of RGO Review Center as their student reviewee. It’s been our home for almost 4 months and we’re like a family. I’m not just thankful for the knowledge and test-taking skills I gained but also to the happiness it gave us during our review sessions. It’s really getting more than what we paid for. As of now, while writing this part, I’m starting to miss them again, my RGO family; the lectures, the staffs, my classmates, reviewmates and of course, the one and only Ms. Maeroll. If not because of RGO, I wouldn’t be able to become an RPm. Through RGO I realized that it’s not just the information from books and other resources that matters. It’s more important to learn how to analyze the questions carefully. Also, being emotionally ready is another huge factor together with the support system we have.

As you might guess that my next favorite thing about this year is being able to pass the Board Exams and finally become a Registered Psychometrician. It was really the one that made my year a blast! I will never ever forget the feeling I experienced when I saw my name among the list of passers. It’s seriously better than the feeling of being in love – I actually don’t know yet that feeling (being in a relationship) so how dare I compare them? Haha! I suddenly remembered the question that our College Dean asked during our Courtesy Call with him. He asked each one of us about what served as our motivation for us to be able to pass while others did not. I frankly answered him that it was really money matters that served as my motivation. The review fee we used for me to become an RGO student is actually a company loan and from what I know, my father had another loan prior from it. Having that in mind, I convinced myself to pass the exam within my first take because I know that the money we spent is something that my father had earned through his hard work and dedication and I never intended to waste it by failing. After all, it’s the only gift I could give them for m=now but I’ll make sure to pay them back somehow once I get a job. Although they’re not asking for it but I consider it as a responsibility and I would also like to do it myself.

As this year ends, it’s feels good that I get to look back some important experiences that happened to me this year. If this year was a blast, I will make sure that the next year will also be a blast and I’ll start it by getting employed. Thank you to the people who made my year good! Happy new year everyone! Hoping for a successful and prosperous 2017 to all!
