Junk Journal

I like keepsakes—whether it’s a shirt tag, a receipt, movie tickets, or little things like that. Instead of keeping them in a box, I decided to try junk journaling after seeing a video on my FYP. I found an unused notebook I got for free from a makeup store and decided to use it as my journal. So, here are the spreads I currently have.

My HeiZuha spread. I am a super fan of the Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama pairing in Detective Conan, and I decided that my first try of a two-page spread will be my OTP.

Miniso. I love going to Miniso, and I guess almost everything that I own were bought here, from towels, electronics (headset, powerbank, keyboard), stationery, pouches, etc. This definitely deserves to have a spread in this journal.

Sunnies Face. This is one of my favorite makeup brands, and most of my makeup collection are from this brand. Fluffmatte is definitely their best product. Yep, my favorite shade is major. I also have a few merch from them, including the notebook I am using as a journal.

Starbucks. Every Sunday or when we have travels, Starbucks will always be a part of our family's itinerary. Currently, my go-to drink is the Zen Clouds Oolong Tea. Sometimes, Chai Tea Latte. I love their pasta, especially the Classic Lasagna. I miss their Gochujang, Meatball Pasta, and Kung Pao Chicken.

It’s easy to feel embarrassed of all our mistakes, but they’re part of why we’re here today! The cookie jar of success is too dang far otherwise!

Ang daming bakit sa utak ko, na hindi nasasagot.

Bakit kapag sila ang gumagawa, okay lang--wala silang naririnig sa akin? Pero bakit kapag ako, ginagawa ko, kase nakikita ko na ginagawa din nila, mali? Laging may excuse.

Crying is not a weakness! It’s a strength to be able to express your emotions and be vulnerable. 💛

Currently Writing: A HeiZuha/KazuHei Fanfic!

Remember when I mentioned in one of my entries that I've been having thoughts on writing Heiji and Kazuha fanfic? Well, here it is! It's my first time, so please be nice hehe ^^ it's on Wattpad, and it's written in Taglish.

To Be Yours, still - A KazuHei/HeiZuha Fanfic

A story of all the things they never said - until now.

It's set six years after the canon anime. Kazuha is now a rising actress who came back to Osaka for a six-month project. And Heiji is now a detective under the supervision of Kazuha's father, Ginshiro Toyama. Still looking for answers. For truth. For her.

[DISCLAIMER]

All hail the brilliance of Gosho Aoyama, the mastermind behind Detective Conan / Case Closed! The characters, settings, and original plotlines belong to him and the amazing team behind the series. I'm just here borrowing Heiji, Kazuha, and the gang for some good old-fashioned fan-made drama, fluff, and chaos. No copyright infringement is intended, and no profit is being earned. Just love, imagination, and possibly a few bruised hearts along the way. 

It's now up in my Wattpad profile.

[iwantmorepancakes]

Am I too late to join the fun?

Finally, the ship has sailed. I get so annoyed when Heiji fails to confess, just ugh. I really wanna yell at them, "Get together, will ya? I'm soooo tired of these failed confessions."

Also, I always had fanfic prompts in my head about these two, because their chemistry is just so perfect. One of those is like a 10-year time skip, where Kazuha becomes a successful actress and gets back to Osaka, sees Heiji, and their story goes on and on, and on. Maybe one day, if I'm ready to share it, I'll post it via my Wattpad account. I'm really glad that Kazuha's mom was introduced here, she was always a pseudo name in my writings.

I actually found out about this confession months ago, and I really went kilig when I saw this. That, really, finally. They deserve this.

My KazuHei/HeiZuha heart is happy! ♡

It has been four years since I last posted an entry here. And as usual, life has been a roller-coaster ride. Four years happened like a blur, as I write this post. I met and let go of people. Had hits and misses. It wasn't perfect (because it will never be), but I surely did learn a lot.

There's one thing that has been consistent in my wishes--and that is, to be heard, understood, validated, and... appreciated. The question that keeps on rolling on my mind, "Why is it always unfair when it comes to me?"

I always have to keep a strong face, and at night, I had these thoughts, sometimes, letting myself cry to sleep. Too much whys if you'd ask me. Still unanswered. Still, unfair.

And...

Why am I not allowed to get angry, while everyone else is allowed to do the things that make me angry, and then make excuses for it?

[iwantmorepancakes]

Just re-opened this account.

Who knows, maybe I'm ready to share thoughts that I've been bottling up.

[iwantmorepancakes]

Did you feel it too?

I forgot to add this on my bulleted list yesterday, so I’ll make a post for it. 😊

I felt sparks while watching these two! I thought there will be a bit of a side story for them, but it’s already the last episode—so... yeah. If this scene was on an earlier episode, maybe we could get a third couple from the K-Drama. Hehehe 💕

A Bulleted List of My Thoughts about “Start-Up”

Credits to the owner of the photo.

One of the best! ❤️

Great casting. Need I say more? 🤣

I love the concept behind Sandbox.

The soundtrack is super A+! I still listen to Running, Love Letter, Future (my super fave), Where Is Dream, and Care About You. I like the happy vibes of the song. And it keeps me awake. Very motivating while doing errands. I guess, Start-Up OST will fill my Spotify most played. 😅

Reminds me of one of my courses, Technopreneurship. Especially when I hear the terms that were discussed, I was like, “OMG we discussed it in Technopreneurship during college! OMG!” 😂

Those guys in SamSan Tech/Cheong Myeong Company are the thesis groupmates and Technopreneurship teammates that I never had.

I started hating Injae, but there are times that I do understand her. She was thought as someone who is very much dependent of her step dad, and gosh, she really proved the haters wrong.

Well, all of them wanted to prove something. And they did.

And I know I’m not the only one who’s annoyed with Morning Group! 😠 they really got on my nerves. (Superb acting!) Hahaha

You will learn lots of lessons. Decision-making, choosing the right words to say, love, family, friendship, teamwork...

Super kilig with Sa-ha and Chul-san! ❤️

And of course, the Good Boy Han Ji-Pyeong ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I like Do-san for Dal-mi, because I like Ji-Pyeong for... me! Hahahaha just kidding! 😂

And that scene when Do-san asked Dal-mi why she likes him, and Dal-mi goes like, “Do I need a reason? I just like you. I don’t need a reason to like you. Because it’s you. You’re the reason. That’s all there is to it.” OMG my heart....

This is also the reason (alongside “The Spies Who Loved Me”) why I loved scrunchies hahaha.

I hope Do-San’s plant plushie (the one he gave to Halmeoni) will be in stores soon. I’d surely buy that. 😊

And how could I forget? Do-san’s video when SamSan Tech won the CODA competition!!! MONEY!!!!!!!
