10:18 AM, Wednesday. The chuckles of working men outside my room disturbed my deep slumber. Apparently, they aren’t done with the renovation yet. Well, of course. They just started a few days ago. Wait. Was that a few weeks ago? I myself don’t remember. The strong, lingering odor of paint penetrates into my nostrils.

10:27 AM, Wednesday. Here I am. Thinking of the next passage I’ll add to my story. I believe it has already been a month now, and I only made little progress. Writer’s Block truly is horrifying. Anyway, I managed to revise the flow of the story. And I daresay that the latter version turned out well. At least, it was better than the previous. Staring at the blank, plain white document, I heaved a sigh. Here’s a little passage from the second chapter.

“Rin appeared to me like the very avatar of hatred. With an overwhelming feeling of terror and uncertainty, my mind suddenly went blank, and I offered her without thinking.”
-Chapter 2, Scarlet

To Scarlet readers out there: What do you think happened to Alaine and Rin? I’ll leave it to your infinite imagination.

10:57 AM, Wednesday. I’m still waiting for Aunt’s breakfast. By the way, have I already mentioned that Win7Ulti’s installation was a success? …I guess I haven’t. Yes, it was a success, albeit my oh-so-calculated seventy percent chance of failure. A friend of mine named Rogger came over to my place, and gave me some installers (the aforesaid OS included) and animu. I paid him 150 pesos for the DVDs, and his transportation fees. I guess I’m back to scratch now. My desktop is almost empty, and I only consumed 20 GBs of Drive C; which I think it was a good thing. Here’s a screenshot of my current desktop.



P.S Counter Strike – I think it’s time I polished my soon-to-be-rusted skills.

11:01 AM, Wednesday. I downloaded Clannad (Visual Novel) the other night. Now I need to download the voice and English-translated patched version later, and also Fate/Stay Night (得ろ下). Yes, F/SN is an eroge/erotic game with a good story. That aside, I managed to give Marble the money (school fees) at school. I, who was wearing only casual clothes and slippers, broke through the school’s layers of security. The guards didn’t notice my presence at all. In that university, wearing freestyle except Wednesdays is prohibited. Too bad I couldn’t use my magical mouth full of lies and excuses. Everything turned out well. So I guess everything’s fine now…

11:05 AM, Wednesday. I wasted Tuesday away. I did nothing but play with my friends till 9 PM. The internet last night was so damn slow I couldn’t even download a single file. It truly was a waste of day, except for my little adventure yesterday. It was fun.

11:45 AM, Wednesday. Aunt finally arrived. She also mentioned that the landlady’s grandchildren will be occupying my room. When? Within this week, perhaps…I haven’t told my parents about this yet. Was that the only reason why the landlady wants me out of this dormitory? I don’t think so. I believe it’s somehow connected to the event previous nights ago. Who knows…or cares? I’ll miss the balcony next to my room. I somehow predicted this was going to happen, but not this soon. Fuck. Now I received a call from mom. My flight may be rebooked this 30th of March depending on the circumstances. The said news made me lose my appetite. I want to escape this place. I want to run away. But will running away change the current situation? I have no choice but to face this harsh reality, because that is what it means to be alive.
