Website Changes This August

Image
What a great day to publish this blog! August is almost done and September will say hi to us. We should prepare ourselves for more changes that will come to our lives. Like in Cyanel Concept, many things have changed. I listed them below so you will have a summary of what I have done this month. 1. UST Chest Page I made it more pleasant to look at by using direct words to state the introduction and rules. USTs are divided into categories: Anime opening/ending songs and Filipino songs. Someday, I will put Japanese songs too.  Mediafire links are replaced by pCloud links due to my login process being blocked every time I go to MediaFire's site. I also put a short thank you message and the last updated date at the bottom of the page. 2. Fanart Gallery Page There is now a banner-like image on the top of the page like I always do on my posts which gives the summary of what the content is all about. (Temporarily removed) 3. Disabled right click I disabled right-click to prevent others fr...

My Worries About The Upcoming School Year

Image
The vacation is over and I will be busy again. I'm already predicting that there will be hiccups in my blog schedule but what worries me the most is where my time will be consumed. I love studying but when it becomes stressful, it sucks all the joy I have for learning. Originally, I have my classmates share the challenges from school. We hang out after school and have some small meetings about our activities. Now, I cannot feel it anymore because I'm all alone in this online class. Chats do not fill the loneliness I feel from this pandemic. In addition to lessons that are harder to learn and hundreds of assignments, the last school year became really depressing. The awards are not enough to compensate for all the hardship we have to go through online classes. I'm being a pessimist here, but I would be lying if I said that it was fun or I have learned a lot. My social skills decreased. I do not have time for my hobbies. I did our online class in front of our dining room whic...

Bottle of Stories (85)

Image
It was evening, Yaesso Cu came back without Avie. Everyone is resting after an hour-long walk. Some are eating on the sidewalk while some are sleeping in the area where they most feel comfortable. He looked for Rey, but he only found Annie and Jayson so he approached them. "Why is everyone sleeping? It is still early at 7," asked Annie to Jayson. "We sleep early so we can wake up before sunrise. It is in our culture," explained Cu. "You came back. I thought you are going to get Avie," said Jayson. "Something... happened. I realized that I was wrong, so I decided to trust Skar. He said this to me:" "Leivo blackmailed me. None of this was my fault. He told me that I should reveal that my parents killed people or else he will make everyone suffer. I'm not acquainted with my parents anymore but it does not mean I will destroy their reputation for a kid who is also cursed to carry out his parent's wishes for revenge. If I say anything, my...

Schedule Change

Image
I have an announcement to make, you probably noticed it on the title of this post. I will do this because I do not want to surprise everyone if the schedule on the sidebar changed. Do not worry, the new schedule below will be effective on September 2021. (GMT+8) Bottle of Stories - Every Friday at 8 PM I will not change this because BoS is my priority. I want to finish the story so I can start revising and writing it in a better way. The only thing that has changed is the time so it will be uniform to the other schedule Blog - Every 1st Saturday of the month at 8 PM This is the easiest one to write because I write about random things. However, I know once I'm stressed from school, I won't be able to keep posting twice a week like the current schedule. I'm also posting once a month because I will focus on writing Bottle of Stories. Youtube Channels Section: Cyanel's Concept - Every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month at 8 PM It will be harder for me to edit videos because ...

2018-2019 Hiatus

Image
I just noticed that ever since March of 2018, I did not post anything here. You can find how many I posted here in the archives. Additionally, in 2019, I only updated Bottle of Stories once in January. I do not really remember everything that happened in those years but what I can remember are the key events of my life that led to me losing interest in continuing writing my passion series. The Rise of the Isekai I felt insecure about what I have written because it fits the oversaturated category of Isekai. If you do not know what Isekai is, it is when a character is transported to another world and the plot revolves around that unknown world. Did it become more popular during 2019? I'm not sure but I watched a lot of anime during those years so that is one of the reasons I did not write. I'm just jumping into the hype train and watch a lot of anime. I do not watch that much now so I'm very active here. Table Tennis I am busy training that on those years. We are training unt...

Bottle of Stories (84)

Image
The man who is previously cursed was confused for a second. Until he realized he was back thanks to the boy in front of him. "Why would you want to go there? Can you stop him?" "I don't know. Please point where he is," Rey pleaded. "I also do not know where it is located because I'm just a tourist here. What I remember is that place is big and far from here. Leivo said that once the sun goes down, all of us should return to him. So you should follow them when it is dark." He pointed to the other cursed people who only observed them. "Thank you." "Be careful out there, I can't go with you." He followed the flock of people who escaped. The marked ones were about to catch him but Rey blocked them. They did not want to escape from Leivo's control so it is best for them not to come close to Rey. They spread their forces and Rey only followed one of them. He did not stop following them up until night. He never touched anyone b...

Editing Tools I Use For My Blogs

Image
Canva I have been using Canva for a while now. Whether it's assignments or blog posts, it helps me to make a simple yet presentable image. I'm really glad Canva is free both on smartphones and PC because I can always continue my work no matter what device I use. Adobe Spark Post Another free mobile application that I also use for some of my Bottle of Stories chapter images and some of my blog posts like "Ranking Drawing Applications". I like how easy it is to use so I'm really thankful for the friend who showed this app to me. I also use this for my youtube thumbnails. MediBang Paint Of course! I use this for drawing characters in my story. I use this most of the time with my drawing tablet and I made the majority of the drawings here from MediBang. ibisPaint X This is my secondary drawing application when I'm doing digital work on my phone. I also use this to edit Bottle of Stories Chapter images. I think this is the best free drawing application out there. W...
