Argh, waiting for PRIDE, Episode 10 to finish sending, from Yusho. It's take a looong time though, past 4 hours now. I wish I could go sleep but I need to shut down the computer after I finish with it. Sigh.

I started on my one-shot fanfiction just now. It's tentatively entitled "Love is Blind" and it's meant to be more of a pun than a cliche. It's going alright I guess. Was surfing Soompi's fanfic thread. They've got this monthly short-story battle, and I'm loving the Graphic category! You're supposed to write a story based on the following graphic:

Beautiful, isn't it? I was really quite awestruck when I saw the graphic. Whoever created it must've been one hell of a Photoshopper. :) It's the stuff that my dreams are made of, and it's the exact sort of thing that gives me inspiration to write. Not tonight though. But the theme to write the story one is not easy. At least for me. I can't write about "Simple Romanticism" for nuts. I wouldn't be doing justice to the beautiful poster. I would like to try though, but I won't be entering it in the "battle". The deadline's one the 14th for one thing, and for another, I'd like to finish my Love is Blind first. So far, stories/fanfictions I want to do or have yet to complete:

-Love is Blind [One-shot]
-Snowflakes & Daffodils [Proper fanfiction with gasoos (Korean for celebrities)]
-Just Like Heaven [Short-story]

Snowflakes & Daffodils will most probably be reposted in Soompi at the end of my A Levels. Shall try to finish the story before reposting it. I want it to be a masterpiece! Haha.

There's like nothing to do. I can only pray PRIDE hurries up & finishes!! T__T

I shall post up the first part of Love is Blind. Haven't decided where to segment it into Chapter 1 yet.

Love is Blind.


"And for your misdemeanor, young man, you shall do community service for the entire year, as of today." The principal said severely, peering at the unrepentant student before him.

Halu idly chewed on his gum as he stifled a yawn, and stared back at Mr. Lee, the principal. He couldn’t think of a stupider punishment, than "community service". If he had to do community service for every time he got punished, the school wouldn’t need to hire cleaners anymore. It was either sweep the track, or the field, or clean the toilets.

"Since you are obviously not learning from your past mistakes, this time round, you will be the guardian of Murase Aki. You will help her get to school and back home. During lunch breaks, you will help her get her food, and you will not leave her side till you send her back to her classroom. You will do this every single day, except on weekends, of course. I will be checking with Aki herself, so do not think of worming your way out of this one. Perhaps you will learn what compassion is, Mr. Satonaka."

Halu’s vigorous chewing halted, as a look of disbelief crossed his handsome features.

"And who the hell is this Muaki Arusae?" He asked.

"It’s Murase Aki to you, young man. I am frankly, quite disappointed in your lack of interest in your fellow schoolmates. Oh, I forgot, you only go for the pretty ones. I hear you’re quite… friendly to the female students. Well, Aki’s an almost-blind female student in our school. Soon, she will lose her eyesight completely. Even now, she needs help in getting around. She is however, a very accomplished writer, as you ought to know, unless you absented yourself during last year’s poetry recital." The principal intoned, casting a knowing glance at Halu.

As Halu left the principal’s office, he contemplated Aki’s timetable. She would have finished lessons for the day in exactly five minutes time. Glaring at the timetable, he stuffed it into his pocket and sauntered off towards the bleachers.

"Halu! Training’s at 4pm, right? Come on, let’s go!" Makoto, Halu’s teammate, ran up to him.

"Hey, Satonaka. What did Lee say?" Hotta tossed Halu his ice-hockey stick as the Blue Scorpion ice-hockey team trudged out of the school.

"Community service, as usual." Halu sniggered.

As they got further from the school, Halu tried to ignore his ticking watch. Almost fifteen minutes had past; the Aki girl wouldn’t wait, right? He attempted to push the nagging guilt to the back of his mind, but his attempt was futile.

"Damn. Hey, you guys go ahead and train first. The same thing; three rounds around the neighborhood, then practise with your pucks. If I’m not there by 5.15pm, go ahead and play first. I’ll join you guys later." Halu rattled off as he ran towards school.

Hm, like I said, I adopted the characters from PRIDE. Haha. I don't really know anything about ice-hockey, so I just threw in crap about the training part.

I wish I was good at Photoshopping, then I can go and create some beautiful graphics when I'm bored. Ah I want time. Time to pursue all my interests. Unlimited time to sink myself into my fantasies, unlimited time to search for beautiful, inspirational pictures, unlimited time to watch the splendor of the setting sun every evening... unlimited time to just write.

As it is, I am not J.K. Rowling who can make millions by coming up with just one well-loved series of books. That kind of talent is rare. And I doubt I even have a fraction of her imagination. I really must explore other genres of writing.

Oh well. Nightynight, all.
