Wizardess Heart

So I have been playing this online dating simulation game from a company who calls their games "Shall We Date?" for months now. My experience with the game is satisfying. I mean I've never played a dating sim game ever and I had no idea what to expect from it but as a book worm of YA's, Fiction, and Romance, I can say that the game satisfies my young heart. It give me the feels, the excitement, the worry and woes me to my toes. I never go on a day without playing the game because it has become part of my life and my routine. I love how it makes me feel giddy.

Now the first game that I played, or rather discovered was Shall We Date?: Wizardess Heart

I can't recall how I found it but I first played it on Facebook. I was looking for dating games and got somehow linked to this game and I fell fond of it. The player can name herself and once you play the game, the characters would say your name or that't what you'd see on the screen. But first, one must choose a character and play their story. Each character has a different story but they are somehow connected. The first three stories are connected and the following three and connected also. And there was an announcement that another three characters will be introduced for new stories. In each story, every eisting character would show up because they are still enrolled in the same academy. It's really like the person playing is enrolled in the academy with all these hot guys surrounding her and the weirdest part is that she gets to date one of them. So weird right? 

For two stories and half of the third I played on Facebook, but when I got my smartphone I played on my phone and I'm down to the fourth story now.

The first character I chose was Luca Orlem (click the picture to enlarge). When I started the story there were only five to choices and I read all of their profiles and I decided to go with the bad boy and I was very happy and feeling fluffy with his story and for the first three stories his was my favorite. After Luca was Elias Goldenstein then Yukiya Reizen. Theirs were the first and original stories of the game. And I guess with the huge popularity that the game is getting, they decided to add the second group of characters.

           

Where I'm currently reading right now is the first story to the second group who is Klaus Goldenstein. Yes, he's the older brother of Elias from above. His story, so far is my very favorite among all the stories. May be it's just my liking for older guys but he really is something. Like I said, there were 5 of them when I started the game where the fifth is Randy March, and after finishing Luca's story the 6th character story was released as Azusa Kuze.

  

The upcoming three are still unknown but I just wanted to document how much I enjoyed this game and bravo to the creators and the story makers. Everyone in the team of making this game happen and ongoing deserved a round of applause.

By the way, other than this game, I'm also playing their partner game called "Blood in Roses" which just as fun but I still get more feels from Wizards. I guess Vampires and Werewolves are to cliche for me now.

Long For Long

I have decided to keep my hair long until I graduate!!! Reason why? So that I have long, beautiful locks in my year book photo.

Mother talked me out of it. Didn't take long too. I told her I was going to cut my hair short early next year. I was planning to keep it long for the -BER months to keep me warm during the cold season, but then she asked me, "so you'll have short hair for graduation then?" (If I fail no class, and have a great feasibility study, I'll surely graduate in two years time.) That made me pause and think, 'she's right! I'd be remembered as the girl who had short hair.

Mother suggested that best I have short after graduation, and especially for when I land my first job. That'll require me to wake up early in the morning and prepare myself, and having long locks would take an even longer time in the bathroom and struggle for it to go dry. She had a point, and I saw it as a good thing. So I had it decided! 

LONG HAIR, DON'T CARE, GRADUATION IT IS.

Waistline Is Just A Number

Here's the thing. I'm fully aware now that I don't have a flat stomach, doesn't surprise me at all. Haha! I looked at myself in front of the mirror tonight and I have observed that when I look at the side, my stomach isn't that big - that is because the food has already been digested and excreted. So then why is my waistline 30 inches? I stood up front again and it hit me. My stomach isn't that fat, I just needed to be more curvy. That's even harder than just trying not to gain weight and have a bulging front. *Sigh* Hula Hoops then?

A Great Day

TODAY, I finally finished reading this book.

Yes, The Heir, it's the fourth book to Kiera Cass' The Selection Series. It's awesome, it's amazing. The ending made me cry twice because of the two shocking things that happened consecutively. I am a huge fan of this series and I'm very excited that Kiera is coming to the Philippines AGAIN!

During noon I talked to my friend about reading The Catastrophic History of You and Me. And I asked her if she knows someone who already read this book to raise my excitement of reading it since I already downloaded a pdf version of it. Sadly, she knew no one, but I'm still excited.

In the afternoon dad suddenly asked me if we could watch a movie and I assumed he meant from my laptop, so I replied I had no action movies. Only to find out that what he actually meant was catching a movie in the cinema. I told him the next show will be in 2:20 and it's still 12:30 so I got ready because I planned to leave early to eat lunch before the movie.
We went to McDonalds and there were some funny comments that dad gave, we even had our silent communication through our eyes because of something we noticed and stuff like that. I had planned on buying a book in National Bookstore after the movie so I brought along money with me, just in case I really like the book.

We watched Jurassic World!

Our minds were blown while watching the movie, it was so thrilling and my heart was beating so fast almost the entire movie. I give it 5 stars. Before entering the cinema house, we already bought the BFF Bundle Fries, and dad got water. When I told him that it's time to get in, he decided to get popcorn, and a lot of it since he's friends with the vendor. He also bought C2 Green Tea.
When we got to our seats he finally realized, "I think we bought too much food." (Daghana sa atong snack uie.) We just laughed it off and ended up not finishing our water and the fries. But he did eat up all his popcorn before we even got to 1/6 of the movie.

As we headed down the stairs from the cinema he suddenly suggested, "Let's buy a book." (Palit ta ug libro.) Well how could I say no to that? Remember I mentioned about asking for feedback of a certain book? Yeah, I ended up getting that book since they don't have Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard yet.

A month ago, I was attracted to this book because of it's cover. And I must say, this is way prettier than the original cover.

Maybe it's because of it's girly colors and the heart pendant. I'm a sucker for gold, heart-shaped pendants.

When I got home, I checked my Wattpad for notification updates only to see that I now have 100 FREAKING FOLLOWERS!

I have no idea when that happened, but it did. I never expected anything, they just slowly followed me. One by one, they followed without being asked. So yeah, that was great news to me.

And now, I'm a happy bird and ready to read this new book. I'm super excited. It's a wonderful day!

Oh, and my parents told me to hoope and pray that we'd have money by the time Kiera Cass comes to the Philippines for the book signing. :3

Good Different

I always knew I was different. I grew up with my cousins around me but I was always left out. Even their parents do not want me to spend much time with them. I was always pushed away. Growing up I soon realized that I am more like my mother, she grew up with a different perspective and I can sense it was quite difficult and challenging to adopt to the new family she has to live with - my father’s. At present she seems fine with everyone around but if you look closely, you will sense the tension. How she shields herself even before any sign of attack has shown. I am at a better position than her right now because I can mingle a bit with my cousins but there’s that sense of awkwardness around the elders.

I do not recall being bullied at school, I say that is a good thing because I am the type of person who looks back in the past very often. One of the points of how I am different. From where I have lived since I was babe, people her always look forward for the future and barely look at the past. In high school I could now tell I was a bit distant to all my other classmates because when I graduated I realized how little close friends I have and non of them are long-term. It started here where I like to stay indoors and surf the net, or toggle with Photoshop, and play around with Sony Vegas. That made me isolate myself from the people outside but I was and am somehow fine with it because I love what I do.

Now in college I have made a new set of friends who I am not very sure if they will last forever but I know they are keepers. They know I am different, VERY different from the ordinary people that they know. Like how I prefer American shows that local ones, beyond that I love Broadway shows made to movies, how I speak and understand English MORE than I could with our own Tagalog, how I can understand the British accent while they have no clue, and of course my obsession to my One True Paring in Fanfictions - Jelsa (Jack Frost of Rise of the Guardians x Elsa of Frozen). Compared to my mother, well we both have exotic tastes but in different parts of it. I cannot compare the level though.

I have accepted my difference and how I cannot freely talk to people about my perspective which is why I turn to the internet and talk to people on different sites who have the same interests with me, but I still wish that there were someone close by who I can feel physically to sit with me and just talk and understand everything or just most of it.
