So I do a lot of writing, and your dividers have legit been a godsend to me... I was wondering if you would care to do some for the Aquaman movie? (●´ω｀●) I don't have any particular requests, I'm just hungry for some Atlantean themed stuff like tridents or decorative shells (maybe blue, silver, or purple since I'm practically in love with Orm lolllll). Nothing too extraneous, I love your style of dividers. Pls and Ty!!!
Hello! I’ve made some generic sea-themed ones - if you would like specific Aquaman ones, drop me a message and we can talk about it in more detail. Hope you like them
Lord, if the rumors are true abt Ju Ji Hoon being Sovieshu in The Remarried Empress, I SWEAR TO GOD I AM NOT READY TO SEE A RED FLAG VERSION OF JJH T-T AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
(Not me still recovering over my ex-crush's redflaggedness T-T)
Warnings: Violence, Explicit Mention of Injuries, Language
Synopsis: In the heart of war zones and under the shadow of an elite underground medical organization, two brilliant doctors, Baek Kang-Hyuk and Y/N, once stood side by side—partners in chaos, reluctant allies turned something more.
Baek left Black Wings to fulfill a promise to his father, returning to Korea in search of a life beyond the battlefield. Y/N stayed behind, unable to let go of the only world she had ever known.
Years later, fate forces them back together. In the high-pressure corridors of the Operating Room, unfinished business bleeds into every exchanged glance and every suture stitched in urgency.
But old wounds don’t heal easily. When ghosts from Black Wings resurface, and the past demands answers, Baek and Y/N must confront the one thing they’ve spent years avoiding—each other.
Because love is like an open wound. And some sutures were never meant to be left unfinished.
Synopsis: After months of teasing and unresolved tension, a grueling shift leaves you vulnerable—and Baek Kang-hyuk too close to resist. One reckless challenge shatters the distance between you, igniting a kiss that changes everything. With nosy coworkers watching, there’s no turning back now.
It was a game you had both been playing for months.
The lingering glances. The teasing remarks. The almost-touches that never quite happened.
Baek Kang-hyuk had a way of getting under your skin like no one else. He was arrogant, effortlessly skilled, and far too good at making your heart race at the worst possible moments.
And the worst part?
He knew.
Every time he smirked at you across the trauma center, every time his hand lingered just a second too long on your wrist, every time he leaned in too close just to see you react—he knew.
It was infuriating.
It was intoxicating.
And it was going to break you.
It started with little things. The way he’d brush past you in the hallway, just close enough that your shoulders grazed. The way he always had a comment ready—sharp, teasing, just enough to get a rise out of you.
"You look exhausted," he’d say, smirking as you rolled your eyes. "Try not to pass out on me, yeah?"
"Worried about me, Kang-hyuk?" you’d fire back, arms crossed.
"Hardly," he’d reply, but his eyes told a different story.
Then there were the moments when the teasing softened—when he’d find you after a difficult case, standing in the supply room with your head pressed against the cool metal shelves. When he’d linger just long enough to ask, voice quieter than usual, "You good?"
And it was those moments—the rare glimpses of something unspoken—that made your pulse stutter.
Because it wasn’t just a game, was it?
Not anymore.
The shift had been brutal.
An accident on the freeway had flooded the trauma center with critical patients, and you’d been running on pure adrenaline for hours. There was no time to think, no time to breathe.
It was only after the chaos settled that you realized—
You were bleeding.
A deep gash ran across your arm, likely from a sharp edge on a gurney, and you hadn’t even felt it.
"You’re an idiot."
The voice came from behind you, low and too familiar.
You turned just in time to see Kang-hyuk standing there, arms crossed, his gaze flickering to your arm with something dangerously close to concern.
"It’s nothing," you muttered, brushing it off.
Kang-hyuk’s jaw ticked. His expression darkened in that way that always meant trouble. "Sit down."
"I’m fine."
"Sit. Down."
There was no room for argument in his voice, and for once, you didn’t fight him.
You sank onto the nearest chair as he grabbed the first aid kit, kneeling in front of you.
His fingers were careful as he cleaned the wound, his touch surprisingly gentle. But the problem wasn’t the wound—it was him.
The way his hands felt against your skin. The way his expression softened, just slightly, as he focused. The way his thumb brushed against your wrist, sending a slow, deliberate heat crawling up your spine.
You swallowed hard. "I can do it myself."
Kang-hyuk smirked, but there was something else in his gaze now—something unreadable. "Sure you can."
Neither of you moved.
The tension had been there for months, simmering beneath the surface, but now—right now—it was unbearable.
Your pulse was hammering.
And he knew.
Because of course he did.
"You keep staring," Kang-hyuk murmured, not bothering to look up.
You scoffed. "I am not staring."
He glanced at you then, slow and deliberate, the corner of his mouth curving. "Mm. Sure."
You were going to kill him.
Or kiss him.
Probably both.
And then, just to make it worse, he leaned in—so damn close you could feel his breath against your skin.
"Are you blushing?"
That was it.
That was your breaking point.
"Shut up and kiss me."
The words were out before you could stop them, before you could think.
And for a single second, Kang-hyuk froze.
Then—
His lips crashed against yours.
It wasn’t soft. It wasn’t tentative. It was desperate. Like months of tension had finally snapped, and neither of you could hold back any longer.
His hands slid to your waist, pulling you against him, and you barely had time to gasp before he deepened the kiss. It was dizzying, overwhelming, the way he kissed—like he had been waiting for this just as much as you had.
Your fingers tangled into his hair, and he let out a low sound that sent heat curling in your stomach.
This was dangerous. This was reckless.
And you didn’t care.
Because Baek Kang-hyuk was kissing you like he never wanted to stop, and you were absolutely, completely gone.
You didn’t realize you had an audience.
Not until—
"Oh my god."
You jerked away from Kang-hyuk just in time to see Jang-mi, Gyeong-won, and Jae-won standing in the doorway, looking way too entertained.
Jang-mi beamed. "I KNEW IT!"
Gyeong-won smirked. "Well. That escalated quickly."
Jae-won crossed his arms. "I feel like we should be charging admission."
Your face was burning. "You—how long have you—"
Jang-mi waved a hand. "Long enough."
Kang-hyuk, the asshole, just smirked. "Enjoy the show?"
Jang-mi gave him a thumbs-up. "Ten out of ten. Would watch again."
You groaned, burying your face in your hands. "I hate all of you."
Kang-hyuk chuckled, low and amused. Then he leaned in—voice dropping just enough for only you to hear.
"You didn’t hate it that much."
And damn him—
Because he was right.
taking a short break from writing code blue, heart stolen, anybody want to be in my permanent taglist? let me know!!
i’ll also accept requests if you guys have any!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Well, lately, I have been trying my best to connect with others, especially in my new school. I grew up in a school where you can be at your best without judgement. You can do what you think will benefit your class without having the fear of being termed as "bida-bida".
To give you a nutshell definition of what this is, it means that you're overly giving your best at something, especially in academic matters to the point it annoys others. This is a term I consider as "smart shaming", since it puts down learners who are enthusiastic with their academics.
I saw a post in my personal Facebook account that talks about: "Is it normal to have "bida-bida" students active at the start of classes?"
Now, I do not know in what meaning this anonymous FB poster wants to use this term as, but if it means to put down people trying to help their classmates by giving updates, I'm not gonna stand here and just watch you walk around with a smug smile. It does not sit well with me that you perceive them as that.
First of all, you just met the person. Why would you give that prejudice that he or she is that? Do you know why that person is like that? Do you know his or her intentions with doing what they do?
Second, everyone is new. We all come from different schools. Some may have gone to a school where they can do their best in school without being judged as this. Some may have gone to schools where they have this judgement that smart people are the "bida-bida" people. Please, grow up. You're in college, and you're expected to stand out in your own feet.
Lastly, "bida-bida" people can have high outbursts of energy for academics. Can't catch up? Then try harder. "Bida-bida" people exert effort in what they can do. They show that they care for what they do. At least they let you know that they're there, right?
Now, I have this small realization that people who talk about these "bida-bida" people can't catch and cope up with the academic enthusiasm they have. That's why they choose to take the bullying card to pull down these wonderful people who do nothing but exert their best maximum effort.
Dear "bida-bida" people, I hope you read this text with a comforting feeling. If they think you as this, then prove them you are one! Be the Jollibee in the class. Be the enthusiastic bee in the class.
Dear people who call their academically enthusiastic peers as this, grow up. You gotta catch up, your life matters in academics.
Now that concludes the little Ted-Talk rant. I hope you enjoyed :)
the concept of "smart-shaming" has always been foreign to me ; when I was pre-university being "smart" [read as academically gifted] and committed to your school work was the expected thing. the "honors" and "upper-level" students were the "cool kids."
At my first college, all of the best parties on campus were the ones thrown by the school (a block party on Fridays, and themed and activity-based "bashes" throughout the week.) Yes, there were off-campus parties but these were mainly small, and while seen as a right of passage that you attend a few, were never seen as "better" or something people should attend regularly.
At my second college parties were actively shut down due to covid restrictions and the parties were somewhat segregated between students of different majors. as an education major, all of my fellow classmates were highly focused on their studies, as they loved the craft of education. even in my new major (history), people seem highly focused on their studies.
now that, this semester, covid restrictions have been lifted it will be interesting to see if this dynamic changes in my final year.
It's a good thing smart-shaming is non-existent from where you are. Unfortunately, this toxic trait is pretty common among Filipinos, especially among students. Would you believe that being able to speak in English is a cause for these toxic fellow students to shame you?
I'm just glad that now that I'm in my junior year, it's not so existent in my class (though I still get side eyes from other sections whenever my teacher decides to combine two classes she handles into one time).
As the title says, there's going to be a lot of changes. Well, not entirely changing everything, just adding and removing some plans I have for this blog.
Study With Reine posts have been cancelled last year because of a technical problem I had with my google account which has my Notion account. In that Notion, I already had lots of plans on what to post, when to post it, and what the content will be all about. Since I lost that account, I also lost the train of motivation I have with sharing what I do to ace classes.
Now, here's the thing. Having started my nursing school journey, there's a lot of things I find out! There's a bunch of nursing related matters that I think can help you with your journey in school. If you're an aspiring nurse like me, then I hope this blog will help you ace your subjects, since I will be posting some nursing related content as well.
I'll also try to continue the SWR eps, but we'll change it to TNDR already, since we're going to cover up some stuff related to nursing. (Gosh, I keep rambling about nursing, pls send help WHAHAHAHA)
But all jokes aside, I'm truly excited to share with you all my experiences in nursing school!
It's been a while since I last posted, albeit I left you with a somewhat upsetting post. A friendly update: there has been a decrease in content related to academic and smart-shaming in that one group I was in.
Now, onto the real content. How's college doing for me?
College is really quite a struggle to me lately. These few past first months in college made me re-evaluate my choices at first, since I was confident it's just easy for me. I realized that life really changes once you enter a new chapter in life, and it requires quite a long period of adjustment (for me).
However, despite the struggles, I still get to appreciate how Nursing impacts the healthcare processes and the medical field itself. I also feel gratitude that there are nurses across the world; without them, I think the medical field is in complete chaos. With so many patients to take care of, how can a doctor alone manage to give out the needed medicines and proper care plan to many patients? I cannot imagine such thing.
I also got to meet new people, but I honestly feel I don't belong at all, and it's okay. I have this ideal that being alone is pretty cool too; if you're alone, you get to do stuff you wanna try yourself without people getting in the way. I actually enjoy being alone rather than be with a group, since sometimes, my plans get thwarted if I am with some classmates who randomly out of the blue pull me in their group and invite me to join in (and I cannot refuse T-T).
If you were to ask me if I enjoyed highschool or college more, I enjoy both. High School is unique with college, and I love how I see myself transition through it.
Now that the first semester of my first year is ending, I soon must re-evaluate the things I do, and hope for the best in the second semester and summer term.
Well, lately, I have been trying my best to connect with others, especially in my new school. I grew up in a school where you can be at your best without judgement. You can do what you think will benefit your class without having the fear of being termed as "bida-bida".

Now that concludes the little Ted-Talk rant. I hope you enjoyed :)
Note: Graphic made by yours truly.
Edit (9.19.22): This mindset, unfortunately, still exists among students. There may be students who become "bida-bida" for no effing reason, but using this term to those who strive hard in academics is one big insult. I really hope this calls out people here who uses this term to their classmates. I'm unfortunately a victim of this.
Edit2 (9.19.22): "bida-bida" is a Filipino term btw :>
Well, life has been a ton of a wild ride for me the past few months since I last posted. What I mean by this, I've been through a lot of life-losing matters like losing my Google account that has my Wattpad, University applications, and Notion accounts; and watching myself getting rejected by universities that I wanna be in. I basically lost my sense of life that I had before. I keep looking for that old self of mine, but I really couldn't. It only means that I need to grow and find my new sense of happiness.
Now. Onto the new matters I wanna talk.
SHS STEM journey for me is already over. I succeeded with flying colors, and I'm currently preparing for my college journey. If you noticed that I changed the name of the blog, this blog's gonna focus more on my college journey in Nursing school.
It still has the productivity tips and notes, but I'll incorporate here some snippets of my nursing school life.
Can't wait to begin college soon! Hope you'd still hang in here and wait in anticipation!
SWR7- Book Habits and Recommendations: Bookmarks are your LIFE SAVER
Book readers out there: Raise your hand if you use any random object to mark where you stopped reading. Guilty? Don't worry. I admit to this too. The most random object I use to bookmark my book is my cellphone.
As an avid reader, it is inevitable that everyone of us has something else to do aside from reading our piled up books. We sometimes rush that we just pick out anything that can serve as our "bookmark". For me, I prefer to have a specific bookmark that I use to make the bookmarking nice than using my phone, a McDonald's receipt, a BookSale receipt, or any other random and unusual bookmark.
There are several types of bookmarks that I found online, but in this entry, I will be only pointing out several types that I use.
Origami Bookmarks
Yup. These are my GO-TOs when I read my books. I was introduced to this when I was in eighth grade, and I kinda thought it's hard to do. But turns out, it's really EASY to do. There's lots of tutorials in YouTube!
The usual Rectangular bookmark
The usual bookmarks that you can see in Stationery shops and book stores. That rectangular, fancy and glamourous bookmark that you get for less than a dollar or a peso that easily gets lost, no thanks to your forgetfulness, windy days, and peers borrowing here and there. Can I also the resin bookmarks that are so beautiful and aesthetic? I BADLY WANT ONE~
Magnet Bookmarks
If you are from Manila, you'd get this: correction tapes with freebies. I got mine when I got a correction tape with a magnetic bookmark. It's somehow cute, and I don't lose it.
I wonder what kinds of bookmarks you guys use. Will you share them on the comments, please?

In SWR5, I talked about notebooks, pens, and other stationeries as part of my essentials for online classes. This time, I will be sharing with you what I use in notes taking. Hope you'll enjoy this!
Notes taking, for me, is a knowledge art; knowledge art in a sense where academics and arts fuse into one. With the lessons plus skills with handling colors, fonts, and shapes, you'll be able to jumpstart your artistic note taking journey! You probably feel envious of how others write; well, don't worry! You can also be like them! But for now, let's start off this short post about what I use in taking down notes.
Pens I use
Dong-A Fine-Tech 0.3 mm
Dong-A Fine-Tech 0.4 mm
Faber-Castell Ball Pen 1419 0.5 mm
Titus Doodle Fine 0.5 mm
Titus Fine 0.5 mm
Dong-A My Gel 0.5
Markers I use
Bolun softhead watercolor pen no. 605 (24 colors)
Faber-Castell Fibre Tips
Pencils I use
Faber-Castell SV No.2
Maped Long Life 0.5 mm
Color Peps pencils
Notebooks:
King Jim notebooks
Aspen Math notebook
If you notice, I don't use what's mainstream. That's because I'm broke and I only rely on my mother for my needs for now. If I can have a job soonest or avail a scholarship with allowance, perhaps I'd give a commentary on the mainstream stationeries. Most of these are from the Philippines, except Dong-A, Faber-Castell, and Maped.
SWR5-Technical1: What to prepare for Online Classes
Still in online classes? Well, you are not alone. I'm in my twelfth grade, on my second year of online classes. A lot has changed since the start of school in this different times. In this one, I will share with you what I prepare for online classes, my essentials, and tips in technical.
THE ESSENTIALS
In everything we do, there will always be essentials to get you powered up and prepared for another day. These are the things that you will need right next to you or within your reach:
Water Bottle.
As one member from my favorite Filipino band Ben&Ben says: #HYDRATIONNATION. Sitting all day in front of your laptop will be a lot tiring and dehydrating. You need to get the water flowing inside you.
Working earphones and microphone.
If last year's excuse about having no working earphones and mic is acceptable, well this year, it's not a valid reason. As a responsible person, you know what you need and is necessary. If you don't have that earphones, please. Get one. Your teachers might be telling you this too, so if I were you, buy them off already and test if it works.
Notebook, pen, and a bunch of stationeries.
If you love writing notes, you can relate to loads of markers, highlighters, and gel pens. I always keep one subject notebook, several markers with the same color but different shades, and gel pens. I listen to the discussion while copying the document given or noting about the things my teacher said that isn't included in the notes or in the Wiki.
Calculator (especially if you have a subject that requires calculations).
Do you have a subject that needs loads of calculations and requires a calculator? Get your calculator right next to you. For students who take STEM courses and are in JHS, I highly advise on getting your own calculator that is two-liner. One liners are great, but there's lots more features in a two-liner calculator. If you are in engineering right now, search your national exams for licensures in Engineering and find the recommended calculators. You won't wanna have big trouble with getting the required calculators should your time with taking the exam come.
Clock.
I usually check my laptop for the time, but it's preferred to have your own clock next to you, especially if you follow a study technique like the Pomodoro technique.
Snacks.
If you are a foodie and you love eating while reviewing, get healthy snacks next to you. Eat trail mixes, dark chocolates, or fruits.
Something warm, something cold.
I always start my day with something warm like milk and chocolate drink. But if I am reading, I start off with either tea or chocolate drink.
THE OTHERS
Aside from the mentioned essentials, you have the option to procure some of these.
Study Timer.
There's lots of apps for this, but if you want to have your own timer to track your study time, it's completely okay. Everyone has their own preferences.
Pillows.
I have another chair next to me where I sit on for reading. I secure three pillows, in case I need something soft to support my back.
Extra earphone.
Your one earphone is not working well? You need to have another on stand by.
Alcohol.
Since it's pandemic time, spritz your space with alcohol.
STUDY AREA
You need to have your own area where you do your works. Of course, a change of scenery is helpful too. In your study area, you need proper lighting, comfortable area, strong access to the internet, and lastly, a pleasant area. Place your essentials near you, then your others on another table. Be creative with your study area!!!
How about you? Do you have your own sets of essentials and others? Share them!
