Convergence of Time

[forthewoolfy]

My boys from the new original book I’m working on! Dallas is a jaded super villain who’s trying to turn a new leaf and live as a civilian, but that’s difficult since he’s had time powers since he was a kid. His boyfriend recently broke up with him too, and all his friends are also villains, so it’s not as easy as it should be. Meanwhile, Simon is brand new to time powers, having only just got them through unconventional means. He wants to become a superhero, like his sister, but for now his job is to keep track of any time jumps the feared villain Chronos makes, although Simon can only pause and unpause at the moment. Newly single, Dallas also needs to find himself a new housemate to help make ends meet. Coincidentally, Simon is looking for a new place to stay. How long until they learn that the other is their greatest enemy, and how will they react? ( Dallas clicks to pause/unpause, while Simon claps! Rewinding can also be tricky though, since long time jumps affect Dallas’ memories…) Enjoy!

Six Sentence Sunday but it’s for my current original WIP! Something about time, or Late Hours. Enjoy!

Dallas diligently worked on the two coffees, feeling the most at ease he had all day, despite the stranger sitting in his kitchen… Except this man wasn’t really a stranger.

That morning, Dallas had woken with deja vu. That typically meant he’d rewound time, although his memories had been lost, as they typically were after a long jump.

He’d definitely met Simon before. Judging by the calm that washed over him, and the way he instinctively reached for the sugar jar when making the coffee, they had been on good terms.

S.A.T.s 1'23 #2 ~ Lovers Quarrels

After contemplating on recent quarrels both with my Wifey KAI and my family, I have come to realize that I am the type of person who is actually willing to quarrel with my loved ones rather than everyone else who I don't really necessarily care enough about. And it has made me realize that the reasons that set me off and my intentions in pursuing any kind of quarrel is grounded on my love and affection for the individual with whom I am in a debate or argument with. It is because I care that I find myself in a quarrel.

And so I've come to the decision that when the time comes that a quarrel is imminent or has already arrived, I will deny myself from speaking out just because I think you should not quarrel with people you love. Rather, I should exercise patience and focus instead on calmly and peacefully discussing the issue at hand in order to be able to listen to the side and point of view of my loved ones as well as being able to communicate mine as well with the ultimate goal of resolving the issue and growing from it.

The prayer is that lovers quarrels become honest discussions that enable us to see each other eye to eye and feel each other's hearts, so that we can move forward from whatever is the cause and become better and closer as a result. Because man are there a lot of past, present, and potentially future issues that need to be discussed and resolved, but this time not as a quarrel but a conversation between people who love each other. Good luck!

TL;DR - love speak > lover's quarrel

S.A.T.s 1'23 #3 ~ Simala Pilgrimage (& Family Outing)

After a long while, my Wifey Kai with my Mama Tess and Papa Tony, were finally able to visit Mama Mary at Simala today for a devotional pilgrimage as thanksgiving for all the blessings received and to offer our petitions for future plans and endeavors.

Mama Mary and Simala always had a special place in our hearts and history as a family and as a couple, and we believe it was with their divine intervention that we were able to receive all the blessings and survive all the challenges in life. And so we have always committed to being present just as they are always present in our life.

And it was a perfect fit with the long weekend trip to celebrate Father's Day for Papa Tony and our 55th Monthsary with Wifey Kai, as well as to say goodbye to the Meili kids & family. All of which had gone relatively smoothly and peacefully (with enough patience), allowing all of us to share a happy and wonderful time together.

Thank you Mama Mary and thank you Papa God!

S.A.T.s 1'23 #2 ~ Rest Days

At the end of a week of daily physical activities and portion control, following a prior week with none of both, I find myself proud to have started and sustained the momentum of becoming more proactive towards my health both in terms of my caloric intake (Temple Holocaust Protocol) and my caloric output (Temple Flame Protocol).

However, just as much as I need to invest work into my health, I also need to invest time for my body and mind to recuperate beyond the regular 8-hr daily sleep. The temptation is to keep going so as not to lose momentum, but many times as I have experienced this very weekend, I lose patience and control in exchange.

I am already aware and believe that rest is a big part of the battle, but I am often overcome with the fear of losing focus or motivation to continue if and when I choose to allow myself rest days, because that's what I have always faced. It's not just my physical mass but the mental sloth within that has a high resistance once at rest.

But I realized that in the grand scheme of things, it is not sustainable to sacrifice the same physical stability and mental well-being that I am trying to gain at the end of it all. And if I have the focus and discipline to do the work, I should also have the same focus and discipline to rest and then get back to work afterwards.

And so I commit to give myself time for both. A time to be active and a time to rest - starting today and every Saturday. A time to do and a time to be, because the battle is not over, but life shouldn't also be. Happy resting to you and me!

something about time ;;

@arthurxweaslebee

Hey! Just the man I was looking for, d’you have a minute?

[iamnotoki]

sat2day (something about time saturdays) #1 | confessuns (confession sundays) #5 | gamon (game on mondays) #32 ~ two months to live . .

. . we never really know that anything (or everything) is too late, until it is too late. we know (even if we deny it) that we don’t have all the time in the world, that it’s possible that we could be gone any day anytime. but we also assume (and deny anything otherwise) that it applies to us. we assume that we do have time, we expect we have time. and when life show us the time we really have, we cannot understand it, we refuse to accept it, we can’t have it. but the simple truth is life goes on and time runs out whether you choose to believe it or not. whatever time you have is all that you will ever have and nothing you say or do, believe or fight for can ever change that. we either accept it right now or learn it the hard way later. or maybe, we don’t even have later, all we have is right now and that’s (for me) right now.

so in light of this dark realization and with very little time remaining, i’ve made a shortlist of my originally long and unbelievably impossible to do bucket list. some are very specific (applicable for me) but some are general and vague (and possible applicable for you) so here i (we?) go ~

just clean my room ~ and not the clean the mess by making another mess somewhere else. i mean really really clean the room you can leave behind without looking back even if you knew it would be the last time you leave it. clean the shit out of my room with my pseudo-self-diagnosed oc-neat-freak tendencies;

give away my stuff ~ and not just what i don’t want to have or can spare to lose. i mean give anything and everything i won’t need and can’t use anymore, or even if i could but i know someone else could use much better and would need much more;

organize all my files ~ and not just store it in random temporary folders with names or arrangements that make no logical sense when viewed sometime later. i mean have a system for sorting, saving and naming all my files that makes sense to anyone who might happen to come across or have my external hard drive;

close all loose ends ~ and not just the happy conversations and goodbye messages to people that i once held near and dear. i mean take the first step to talk, resolve and have closure for everyone that i was either terrified of or indifferent to and let everything be said and done once and for all;

don’t put off, do ~ and not just what you are simply too tired or lazy to do, i mean do the things you are afraid of doing because you think you can’t or just won’t, or because you don’t know or want to face whatever the consequence of what you would have done would be;

go on an adventure ~ alone, but not just by myself alone or with me and my quandaries. i mean me and the universe, a trip where i go somewhere and i actually pay attention to where i am, and be where i am. to go somewhere where i can just be me and just be, and maybe find out and find who i really am;

go on another adventure ~ but not just alone this time. i mean go somewhere with people i really want to spend time with. i can name a few, the only few i really would love to. somewhere near here and where we could just hang out and talk, or somewhere out there, where we could see the world or wherever we could take each other;

just go, let go ~ and not just walking away but looking back and leaving your mind and heart. i mean go because you know it’s time to go and there is no going or looking back, and let go because you know it’s no longer something for you to have, not even the life you had;

don’t forget, say goodbye ~ and not just saying it. i mean meaning it. so don’t forget me, and goodbye.

disclaimer: while there is still time, i might be adding on or taking off some stuff on the list. i guess we’ll see, we got time right?

~ a.k.a.cross with two months but not counting

p.s. oh btw, i meant ‘leave’ not live, as in i have two months before i leave from Philippines for New Zealand, maybe for good. XD i’m not sorry for the misunderstanding though, coz you could still do what i’ll be doing and more. to leave or to live, it makes no difference for what and why we do the things that we do, when you will still have only the time you have, whether you are leaving for another place or to that ‘other’ place. so good luck to us if you will too, and if not, still God bless you. o;
