December is equally an unlucky and lucky month. There is a lot of bad things that happened but there are good ones too. I want to reflect on those things so I will write them on this blog. This month, I was really stressed because I have to keep carrying group projects because I have this irrational fear that if I do not take initiative, our grades will all fall and it will be my fault because I can. You know anxiety together with stress, that is how it feels like. I have to keep holding on to my hope that I will be able to graduate and leave my school because I have been suffering there for almost 6 years. Sometimes I regret transferring to my current school because if only I stayed at my previous school, I will probably have 4 years that are less stressful. However, if I actually stayed there, my perception of hard will be different too. I will not be ready in college as much as I am now. Lastly, I will not meet the people that changed me for good. I'm thankful but I'm ready ...

I started playing again this December! That is why I really enjoyed my break and made a few buffers. You can check my progress on the left side. I want to share what I'm currently playing this month. 1. Rainy Attic Room This game is relaxing and I can live it for a long time. It helped me not get distracted during the last days of school before the break. I haven't finished the game so I do not have a lot to say. It reminds me of the game I played before which is Alter Ego where I tap to get points. 2. Purrfect Tale This game is so cute and it is literary perfect if you can expand, design, and have a lot of cats in your house. This is so addicting that I might delete it once January comes. Just kidding, what I'm planning to do is just do the task in winter celebration and harvest my crops. So once I have a lot of free time, I have a lot of things already gathered. The only problem I have in this game is there are a lot of bugs. I hope they fix them soon because I can see ho...

This December, I recorded my monologue assignment. After that, I went downstairs to turn on my PC. Then, BOOM! my PC exploded. Specifically, the CPU's power supply. I'm currently sharing with my brother's PC. Then after a few days, the AVR exploded. I don't know why I'm so unlucky that week. Thankfully, I'm safe and all my important files are on my hard drive. Rest in peace to the curtain that got a small burn. I actually heard it burning when I turned on the AVR so I immediately told my family something it is burning before it exploded. I'm kinda shy when using my brother's PC but I will probably get used to it. I have this strong urge to have my own devices like a tablet or laptop so I can't bother him but I know we do not have enough money for that. The table here is small to fit my pen tab and very unstable too so I haven't finished any artwork here yet. I edited some for school purposes with the mouse and demo drawing with my pen tab. The go...

On a normal school day, a teacher bought a small bottle and told the grade 6 students that it has a curse. If the bottle was opened, something bad will happen. All of the students do not believe their teacher except Rey. Together with his friend Annie, they will uncover the truths behind the bottle.

Rey and Kid stood and faced the front door so when his father arrived, he can immediately ask for permission for Kid to stay. His father came home and Rey immediately grabbed his father's hand and put it on his forehead. After that, he stepped back hold Kid's back in preparation for his introduction. "This is Kid, my friend. He has no home so I want to ask if it is okay for him to live here, temporarily." His father kneeled in front of Rey. "I'm sorry." Rey's hope was shattered and he wanted a dispute. "But..." "Rey, I want to apologize for all the things I have done to you. I promise that I will refrain from drinking again. I will be less strict from now on because I realized something when I saw your friend here. My actions are the reason why your mother left us, but I will try to reconcile with her. Just trust me." "Umm, okay," said Rey who was really confused because his father is acting differently. "So, can Ki...

I do not have a lot of free time to write about anything else because most of my day is consumed by my assignment so I will just talk about some of the tasks that I liked during our 1st quarter. This is my assignment for contemporary arts and I titled it "Vulnerable". I used Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer as a reference where I did everything on that painting as the opposite. What I like about this assignment is I got time to draw again and I was able to reuse this art on Bottle of Stories. This doodle art is only a part of the 10 different types of poems I did for our subject Creative Writing. I was able to write a story on that assignment and I have fun writing those poems. I will probably post it here once I replace the images I got from google with my drawings. Lastly, the previous blog " Behind the Scenes of My Vlog " is also an assignment for Creative Writing. I'm pretty neutral on that one because that assignment is pretty hard. I'm not...

Next week, the last update of Bottle of Stories will be uploaded. So what comes after that? What kind of posts will be replacing my longest-running series while I'm still rewriting/revising it? I have a lot of ideas in my mind and I want to share them with you. I don't know if I will be able to keep it up due to my tight schedule, but I did it in our first quarter so I believe I can do it again. My only obstacle is drawing for my upload and I have not found a solution for that yet. Maybe I should make a  monochrome type of illustrations on some of my posts so I can easily finish them. However, I have to practice how to use screentones too so it will take time for me to learn. I'm willing to put time and effort into doing the things I love. My first idea is to post the first revised chapter of Bottle of Stories. I finished writing the first part in Filipino and the only thing I have to do is to translate it into English, edit it so it doesn't sound awkward, and draw the ...

When Rey and Annie woke up, they went to Choe's village with Jayson and Kid. "It's been so long, I thought we won't be able to come back here," said Rey. "Shh, they must not know," said Annie while being wary of her surrounding. "Nah, no one is close anyway." "I'm just reminding you." Everyone paused when Jayson, the one who led them stopped. "Jayson, what happened?" asked Rey. "Do you have something that can hide my face?" he asked. "I have one," said Kid who is holding a big piece of cloth. "Is that a curtain? Where did you get that?" Rey examined the fabric. "I think I have something." Annie handed a handkerchief from her bag. Jayson took both and wore them. He tied the handkerchief and wrapped the cloth to his head. "Why do you have to hide your face?" asked Rey. "Because the King of Warrior city wants his head." The light blue-haired girl said. Rey was deli...

Jayson and Kid went outside to experience the cold morning wind. They strolled around the garden of the resthouse. Jayson watched the people return to their homes or continue walking the cement road. Some establishments are prepared in opening their business again like nothing happened. A sweet hum tickled his ears. It was a young and innocent voice harmonizing with the rustling of the leaves. Jayson knew who it was and he wanted to ask him a question. However, he cannot gather the right words to say, so he sat on the ground and let the grass give him comfort. He waited for the song to fade into the wind. He turned his head at the back and saw Kid caressing the plants. "I met you in my dreams." Kid did not stop examining the different shaped plants. "I was there too so I can see how much you changed." "Why do you always talk like we have met before?" "Try punching your gut. I hope that answers your question." He giggled. Jayson raised his brow an...

"Why aren't you happy? I thought we are friends?" Leivo paused as soon he felt a cold blade on his neck. "Do not come any closer to Rey." Jayson recovered from the curse but his memories are still intact contrary to what Leivo said. "Jayson, no more fighting!" said Kid. "We can't trust him. He might hurt Rey again," said Annie who is still holding her bow and arrow. "I'm sorry, I was just protecting my parents' wishes. Rey, I'm sorry. I realized that I have no control over my actions and Rey's presence alone can release my own desires. I want justice for my family but it hinders me from making any friends. This is all their fault, the Skar family." Jayson did not believe what Leivo said and he did not put down his weapon. "Can you forgive Skars if they apologize to you?" asked Rey. "No, they can't bring my parent's life back. But you are different, we are friends! You should forgive me....

"Did you hear that? Someone just called my name." Annie and Jayson shook their head. He heard the voice again, it sound more desperate this time. He looked for every house nearby but he see no one. "Who's voice is it again? Annie? But Annie is here." When he turned his head, his friends were not there anymore. That's why he felt something off. The voices of his friends are only on his head but the one who's calling for him goes straight to his ears. He tried to find where the voice came from by walking on the streets until he finally went back on the field and saw the guardian of dreams once again. "I'm now allowing you to leave this place, but before that." The guardian approached him. "I want to give this to you." He touched Rey's forehead and his eyes glow brighter. Everything about Rey's family history flashed in his eyes. It was very detailed and it gets to the point where he saw what his ancestor did to Kid up to his...

Annie released another attack for Leivo just to test how strong his shield is. It showed a little crack that gave her a glimpse of hope that she can beat him. She nocked her arrow once again when a strong wind disrupt her balance. She also prepared for this too, as long as she keep her distance she can bring damage to him again. Kid can focus on protecting Annie now that the museum is basically empty. If some unforeseen events happen again, they can easily pick up their momentum and defeat Leivo. "Stop sabotaging my plans! You just want to take Rey from me why are you doing all of this? Guardians, really?" Leivo seems desperate but Annie did not let that stop herself from attacking his magical shield. Together with his ability to control the wind harshly, he let out a request to Kid. "Hey guardian, tell your friend to stop interfering!" "What are you talking about? I'm not a guardian, I'm just a kid," he said while still hiding. "I can't w...

"You look different," OP said as he saw Annie and Kid go out of the room. "I, I don't know what you're talking about," said Annie, not being able to make eye contact. "We are ready to face Leivo! Annie is actually strong. We will beat him together!" Kid said confidently. "That's the spirit! We will help you. OP, do you have a plan?" said Cu. Annie lowered her head. "No, don't come with us. I do not want both of you to get in trouble too. We're just here to say goodbye. Kid, let's go." "Okay." Kid waved his hand and together with Annie they vanished. OP and Cu look at each other, communicating through their eyes, they agreed to get out of that place so they can follow them. Annie and Kid were near the museum but not too close that Leivo would detect them. Annie touched the tree in front of them with Kid so they can use it as a substitute target for their enemy. They went to their position recalled the th...

 "Kid, can I talk to you privately." "Oh, okay," he hopped from the chair and followed Annie's footsteps. Annie closed the door and sat down to equal Kid's height. "I want to go home." "What, you just said..." "Just trust me." Kid opened a path and signal his palm to let Annie go in first. They entered Annie's room and she proceeded to open her cabinet and open her personal box. She got the crossbow she received from Theo long ago. "Now, can you bring me to Theo?" "Why do we need to go to his place?" "I want him to train me. I noticed that Jayson is the only one that can return home with us. So asking for someone's help and bringing them to another world is impossible. But time doesn't change when we leave and return to our world. So maybe, I can train and become strong before I face Leivo and save Rey and Jayson." "Are you sure you want to do that?" Annie nodded at Kid. "...

I do not usually upload vlogs because I am more into making drawing time-lapse and making a UTAU cover. However, when I do make vlogs, it is always for my family, friends, or for my school projects. There is no such thing as scripts for my video because it makes my voice monotonous and unnatural. So if I do not have scripts, what is happening behind the scenes of my vlogs? Do I even prepare before speaking to the camera? The answer is yes! I prepare myself mentally, take down notes when needed, and visualize the flow of the video in the process. Imagining how the vlog will look like helps me a lot because I'm the one who edits my videos. I use zoom meeting for recording because I used my PC which is pretty slow. There will be hiccups when you are not used to talking in front of the camera but I believe that practice helps a person improve. Additionally, if you are a newbie like me, we can always use video editing to remove those hiccups. This image was screenshotted today for showi...

In a seem to be a neverending field, Rey wandered around to find something in that place. He was sure that he forgot an event that led him there so anything that he can find, might remind him of that event. However, no matter how we walk, he is still in the middle of nowhere. He was hopeless until he heard a familiar voice at the back. "I heard that you are looking for me." His yellowish-green hair shined as the wind blows through each strand. It revealed his purple eyes that blooms like a flower because of its mesmerizing glow. "Guardian of Dreams!" Rey said enthusiastically. "I already saved Kid." "First of all, I want you to accept my sincerest gratitude," he bowed. "Please surrender your dreams to me and I will make sure you will never have nightmares again." "No, no need," Rey said with an awkward laugh. In all honesty, he really wants to accept the guardian's offer. "I have heard noble things about you before we...

"This is all your fault," said Leivo. "But you did that to Rey!" said Cu in a loud manner so he would reach Leivo's common sense. "If you did not come here, this will not happen." Cu stepped backward as the unapprehended cursed people approached him. "Guardian of Space, what should I do." "You can call me Kid," said Kid who is hanging upside down. 'I did not think he was that special. He avoided being touched too,' said Leivo to himself. 'Why is he doing this? Did I made him my enemy?' Unlike Kid, Jayson can still move his arms despite being stuck. He sliced his way out from the glowing line. "You will pay," said Jayson who is burning in anger. "Try me," Leivo provoked. Jayson slashed an attack sustains itself until it reaches something. Leivo just shielded himself and started mumbling unintelligible words. He runs towards Jayson while only defending themselves. "Jayson, stay calm!" said...

I have written on my previous blog that I use a slow laptop. I am already comfortable with it even though it is a bit outdated because I have been using it for a year since online classes. Suddenly, someone brought home an old desktop from our old neighbor. That someone who is my sibling, only needs the monitor, leaving the included keyboard and CPU behind. A little backstory, we bought a system unit for my sibling that is close to graduating from college. However, we cannot afford the monitor right now so we only bought the CPU. The original plan is my sibling will use my monitor but we get the chance to fetch our neighbor's old and unused monitor. My sibling came back with a set to our surprise because it is already inside the box when my sibling took it. Later on, my parents decided to clean the system unit. It does not have RAM inside but we have a lot of those due to reviving our previous CPU. They added 2GB RAM on it and tested if it is going to work. And it booted! That syst...

Rey is conflicted on what to hope for. He wants to be rescued by his friends but at the same time, he doesn't want them to come because they might get controlled by Leivo. He just wished that a miracle would happen. Then he thought of Guardian of Dreams. Would he save them? A shout from the near entrance disrupted his thoughts. "Rey, we came here to save you!" said the guardian who appeared out of nowhere. He is with Cu and Jayson. The world can't explain how relieved Rey was when he saw them. But he remembered that Leivo was there, observing if he is telling the truth so he has no choice but to conceal his real emotion. "Rey, who are them?" Leivo stepped forward without giving a glance at him. Rey did not respond. The strong wind that Rey and Kid encountered before came back again. This time, Kid and his group prepare for their counterattack. Leivo's goons were about to capture them but Kid immediately teleported themselves in an open area near Rey. Cu ...

Kid knows that Rey is in big trouble but he can't do anything to help him. If he forces him out, he might cut the arms of the people who are holding him. He can't also force Leivo out because he is powerful to detect it before he even started. Rey might not see it but he first tried to open a path for Leivo and push him out of the museum. His opening was shattered when it gets too close. He only has one person in mind who can help him save Rey. He opened a path that leads him in front of that person. "Jayson, we need to save Rey! He is in danger!" Their group was stopped by a young voice. Jayson immediately recognizes Kid from his dreams. What made his heart sank is that Rey is not with him. "What happened to him?" "I can't bring him back here!" Jayson grabbed Kid's shoulder and squeezed it. "Then what is the sense of you being the guardian of space!" "Have you not change at all? Are you still gonna treat me like this?" ...

Leivo and Rey are walking down the stairs, having a conversation. "Are you sure it is not some dangerous uncontrollable creature?" asked Leivo. "Not at all," said Rey who is leading the way because Leivo seems unreliable with the directions. "Then why do you want it to be freed?" "Because his friend wants us to save him." "In exchange of what?" Rey paused and gave Leivo a confused look. "If you are going to do someone a favor, you should ask for something in return because they do not know what you have to go through just to do it." Rey already has one wish on mind, return to their world safely. It will be easy for guardian of space to do that. As long as Leivo doesn't know they will be okay because he might take advantage of the guardian's powers to increase his number. Leivo and Rey arrived in the giant hall where they first met. This time, there is a huge circle drawn on the ground. It was made from sand. There are ...
