A Letter to You (Please Read)

Hello,

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything and I should apologize for my unwarranted absence. I know some of you have been waiting for me to update my fanfics or even post some random stuff, but I just haven't been in the mood to do any of that. You could say that I have lost my motivation and inspiration to write...and I really don't know why.

I started writing fanfics a while ago, sometime in high school because I was tired of reading other people's fanfics and watching the same old plot lines that TVB churns out. Mind you, at that time I didn't start watching Korean dramas yet. But anyways, I've come to realize how much I enjoy writing once again. Writing is one of the many outlets that keeps me moderately sane, since we all know that none of us are completely sane. Nonetheless I wanted to update you on my plans for the coming months.

The plan is, I will be starting anew. Yes, this means that I won't be updating any of my old fanfics...unless I feel inspired to do so. I think I will end Take 2 prior to the 'apocalypse' so that we all get some closure, but other than that I can not guarantee you that I will be updating the other 2 or 3 fanfics I had going. So, what will happen is that exactly 2 weeks from now, you will see a brand new fanfic from me. The fanfic will be titled 'Yours truly, Stranger.' I don't want to reveal too much about it, but I hope that this fresh start will be equally entertaining as my past works (if you found them to be entertaining to begin with).

One more thing, I don't quite know who the female lead should be, actually...I don't know who the leads should be at all. Since I'm used to having Ron Ng as my male lead, I probably might stick to it, unless you think that after all his scandals and whatnots you prefer if I were to change it up. So, if you could help me out by leaving a comment about who you want the leads to be, I will be very grateful.

So, see you all in 2 weeks,

Your friend,

Randomness

PS. I'm testing different templates, so it looks kinda strange, hope you don't mind.

Someone Like You: Chapter 6

Hi there, it's been a while since I updated...and I do apologize for my absence. Writer's block seems to be quite fond of me since it visits me quite often...but...it's not exactly a mutual fondness...so...now that it has left, I've decided to post an update.

================


NOTE: Please reread chapter 5 to remind yourself of what went on. (I'm kinda lazy to write a recap lol)

Ron recognized the voice immediately and turned around with a smile.

Ron: Tavia

Tavia: I knew it was you

Ron: Doing some shopping?

Tavia: Yup...and...are you on a date?

Ron chuckled: Ya...you caught me...this is my girlfriend Leila, Leila this is a good friend of mine Tavia

Leila: Nice to meet you

Tavia: Nice to meet you too

Ron: so, how’s everything?

Tavia: It’s been pretty good...I don’t think I’ve seen you since the wedding

Ron: Ya...I was busy and stuff like that

Tavia: I heard from your mom that you sold your project and made some money

Ron: Ya...I did that...and then I took a little vacation, visited a few friends and stuff...

Tavia: But you didn’t think about visiting me and Chris?

Ron smiled: Well...I went away on my vacation...so...

Tavia: Uh huh...so how did you and Leila meet?

Leila tugged Ron’s shirt and he knew that it was her turn to talk

Leila: He doesn’t like to admit the fact that we met online

Tavia: Online? Like a dating site?

Leila: No...I was selling this model plane and he was the highest bidder so we met...and ya...

Tavia: Model planes...I can’t believe you’re still into that stuff

Ron: Some people don’t change...

Tavia: Or is it that some people just don’t grow up

Ron chuckled: Depends on the perspective...

Ron looked down at his watch

Ron: Hey, it’s great seeing you again, but Leila and I we have a table reserved at La Palette so...

Tavia: Right, sorry...I’ll see you soon, you know what, you and Leila should come over for a BBQ or something

Ron: Ya...I’ll call you

Tavia: That sounds great, bye

The two of them said their goodbyes and walked off

Leila: So...Ron...

Ron: What?

Leila: Nothing

Ron: You’re not going to ask?

Leila: Nope, if you want to tell me, you will...

Ron: Ok good, I don’t want to tell you...so I won’t

Leila: Ugh, you’re a terrible boyfriend

Ron: Oh, so you’re using that now...

Ron suddenly stopped and he closed in on her, his lips barely touching hers...he smiled and then whispered ‘I can hear your heart beating pretty fast’ then he planted a light kiss on her cheek before pulling away

Leila’s cheeks turned pink and she was flustered as ever: That’s harassment

Ron smiled: I’m your boyfriend

Leila: Ok...then I demand to hear the story between you and Tavia

Ron: Fair enough...but can we cuddle after? (He broke out into laughter)

Leila looked at him: real funny

Ron: It was worth a shot

Leila: So...story...

Ron: Come on...I’ll tell you on the car...

~ One week later~

~ Serendipity ~

Krystal: Leila, when Ron comes in tell him that the two of you have a new client today...and she’s a bit demanding...so please, be nice

Leila: What is that supposed to mean?

Krystal: You’re not exactly the best people person, so...just be nice

Leila: Of course...boss

Krystal smiled: You’re beginning to sound like my little brother...and speak of the devil

Ron came walking in with his eyes apparently glued to the screen of phone, when he looked up and saw Krystal standing there he immediately walked over

Ron: Krystal, look at Ella’s new ass

Krystal: What?

Ron showed her his phone: Oh come on...you love her asses

Krystal after looking at the screen finally figured out what he was talking about

Krystal: Really Ron? You could’ve said, look Krystal, Ella bought another donkey for her farm...or something...what if the clients were here?

Ron: Then they would think that I’m acquainted to someone who just had their behind done?

Leila: Or they think you’re a pervert

Ron: By they, you must’ve meant you...tsk tsk...

Krystal: I agree with Leila...and if our clients were here they’d probably walk out

Ron: Oh please...

Krystal: Anyways, you two have a new client today, she’s somewhat demanding so...

Ron smiled: Be nice?

Krystal looked at Ron: No flirting

Ron: Is that code for ‘she’s pretty’

Krystal: No...it’s code for ‘do your job’

Ron shrugged: It’s not like I can flirt with my ‘girlfriend’ next to me (he put his arm around her shoulders)

Leila shrugged his arm off: Don’t worry, I’ll keep him in line

Krystal smiled: I’m glad I paired the two of you up (She started to walk away)

Ron: Wait...

Krystal: What is it now?

Ron: How do you know she’s demanding?

Krystal: As the boss, you do realize that I either go through the online profiles of the prospective clients or I talk to them over the phone prior to setting up an appointment with them, right?

Ron nodded: Right, ok...that makes sense

Krystal: Sometimes I wonder if that accident you had really had any other long term effects on you...

Ron smiled: It probably did...but, the important thing is that I’m still as handsome as ever, right sis?

Krystal placed her hand on her brother’s head and messed up his hair: Sure little brother, sure

She then walked off to her office leaving the two of them standing there

Leila: So...what accident is she talking about?

Ron: Huh?

Leila: the accident?

Ron: Oh...it’s not important...and besides I got in to far too many accidents to remember all of them anyways

Leila: Are you being serious?

Ron looked at her: Yup...I even got shot once before...but that’s a long story

Leila: Got shot?

Ron: Yup

Leila: Um...ok...anyways...we should go and prep the paperwork for the client and go through her file before she gets here

Ron: Good idea

=========================

Tadaaaa!!! Not exactly my best...but it'll get better...I promise. Please leave a comment or comments and I'll be back soon after I get...I unno...3 or more comments?

I hope you enjoyed it! I'm working on something else as well...if you'd like to also leave me a reminder about updating any of my other fanfics...please do so...so I know what to work on next!

The End is Near: Ch 4

Howdy folks, I just felt like updating this fanfic for some reason...so ya, enjoy!!!

*Edit* GAH! I hate the new blogger...it really messed up my format...sorry for it looking so ugly...it's fixed now.
===============================


~ Coburg Bar~

Ron: Can I get a whisky on the rocks

Bartender: You got it

Moments later Ron was on his second drink of the night, when he heard the sound a woman’s voice

Lady: Excuse me sir

Ron: I’m not interested, sorry

Lady: Well, you dropped your wallet

Ron: My wallet? (He started feeling his pocket and realized it was empty)

Lady: Here (she handed him his wallet)

Ron: Must’ve fallen out when I tried to search for my phone or something. Thanks

Lady: Not a problem

Ron: How about I buy you a drink then, as an apology and thanking you for picking up my wallet

Lady: Sure. I’d like a Pina Colada

Bartender: Here you go

Lady: Thanks

Ron: So...are you waiting for friends

Lady: I was...but she called and cancelled on me, so I thought I’d have a drink anyways before heading home...

Ron: Oh

Lady: You?

Ron: I’m just having a drink, but...I’m also trying to avoid heading home...my mom’s on the ‘the world is going to end, and I have no grandchildren, or daughter-in-law’ rampage

She laughed: Oh, well, at least your parents don’t tell you ‘this is what happens when you let girls go to school, now that they’re successful, men are intimidated, so she’ll live with us for the rest of her life’

Ron laughed: I guess your story makes mine sound a bit less horrifying

Lady: Yup...I remember once my dad even told me how men were afraid I’d castrate them

Ron: What? No way...

Lady: I know, right...

Ron: I’m Ron by the way and you are...if you don’t mind telling me of course

Lady: Linda

At that moment is phone rang

Ron: Sorry, I really have to take this call

Linda: No problem

Moments later he came back

Ron: Hey, I’m really glad we bumped into each other but I have to get going...something happened at work and it seems as though they can’t resolve it without me...so...

Linda: Oh, that’s fine...I’m just about to leave as well...but probably after I finish my drink

Ron smiled: Well...here’s my card (hands her his business card), hopefully we get to meet again and compare notes on our parents

Linda smiled: That sounds good and here’s mine (hands him her business card)

Ron: Great, bye

Linda: Bye

After he left, she finally had the chance to take a look at his business card

Linda: A director? He must really think I’m some naive movie star wannabe...typical

~ Studio Main Entrance~

Bosco: Thank goodness you’re back

Ron: What’s going on? Were you actually waiting for me?

Bosco: No...I just had nothing better to do than stand around at the main entrance

Ron: So, what happened?

Bosco: Remember how the producer had to use two main female leads instead of one...

Ron: Ya, and?

Bosco: Well...the other one came in and saw us editing the footages...she asked to see what we had so far...and well...she was unhappy that she had less screen time

Ron: So?

Bosco: Ron, do you know who she is?

Ron: An actress

Bosco: She’s one of the company’s shareholder’s daughters

Ron: I know, I told you that... and?

Bosco: Fine, since you obviously think this is some trivial issue, how about you go and resolve it then

Ron: Isn’t that why you called in the first place?

Bosco: Seriously, with this attitude your mom has every right to worry

Ron looked at him: Ok...well...it’s really your fault my mom has to worry

Bosco: What now?

Ron: Before you gave me that panic call, I was having one of the most interesting conversations with this lovely lady...

Bosco: Really?

Ron: Ya, she even gave me her business card before I left, take a look (hands him the card)

Bosco: Cardiologist? Really? Or is this your mom’s doctor?

Ron: Fine, don’t believe me...I’ll go on in...and resolve this first...then we’ll talk about the loss you made me endure

Bosco chuckled: Well...you could always give her a call...unless...this is the type of woman who is playing hard to get by handing out a business card that has the word cardiologist on it implying she can easily play with your heart

Ron: That’s my thought exactly. And now if you excuse me, I have an actress I need to take care of

Bosco: Yes, charm her into submission

~Ron’s office~

Ron: So, how can I help you?

Sire: Well...I came back because I was curious as to how everything gets edited and put together...so I asked them to show me what they have so far...and then I realized that half of my scenes were cut

Ron: I think you might be exaggerating a little bit...

Sire: Well...we’ve been filming a good 12-14 hours a day for the past month...I didn’t expect there to be that much of me but still as the co-star...I expected at least half of the screen time...

Ron: You have to look at it this way...some of your scenes were cut because they weren’t perfected enough yet...we’ll probably have to go back and re-film to make sure everything is actually together and works out smoothly...so you shouldn’t worry about your screen time (He puts a hand on her shoulder) As long as you’re really working hard, even if you don’t have half the screen time, the audience can still appreciate you as a good actress...

Sire: You really think so?

Ron smiled: Of course...that’s why a lot of supporting roles get a lot more noise than the leads...think of Laughing Sir

Sire: I guess it’s true...so there might be a chance that we will be re-filming a few scenes then

Ron nodded: Of course...plus I’ll be the one making the final judgement over the editing...so...we’ll see

Sire: Thanks! (She stood up and gave him a hug)

Ron smiled: Not a problem...just work hard ok?

Sire smiled: I will, thanks Ron...you don’t mind if I call you by your first name, right?

Ron: Just, avoid that when we film...ok?

Sire: Sure

Moments later he left his office and was greeted by Bosco

Bosco: She looks a lot happier now...what did you do?

Ron: I spoke to her...and told her that she shouldn’t worry...as long as she works hard, even if her screen time is reduced the audience will still appreciate her

Bosco: Anything else?

Ron: What are you implying?

Bosco: I don’t know...young actress, whose father is extremely wealthy, and a young handsome director, in the same room...

Ron smiled: Well...I did get a hug...

Bosco smirked: Is that all?

Ron: What do you think happened?

Bosco: I don’t know, she seems like she’s into you...so...I only presumed that she started up this tantrum to get some attention from our handsome director here

Ron: Is that it? Wow...maybe I should be careful...don’t want any rumours to start...

Bosco: Uh huh...speaking of rumours, did you hear what’s going on with Ka-wing

Ron: Ya...something about being aloof and self-centred...but that doesn’t sound like the Kevin we know

Bosco: You know how he is...he doesn’t go around trying to please everyone...poor guy is always misunderstood

Ron: Funny how they’re only talking about his ‘personality’ now when he’s all famous and stuff...and that’s why I don’t film series or movies that involves these old shifus and masters

Bosco laughed: That’s why you film series and dramas with pretty female leads who love being in your company

Ron smiled: I like working with people I like...that’s why I’m always working with you and Myolie

Bosco: Maybe it’s because we’re the only two assistant director and production manager that can stand your personality

=====================================



 Yay!!! They finally met...I hope that their meeting was interesting rather than just something you've seen before...I don't know. And the ending, I just thought I should kinda express how I felt about the whole Kevin Cheng incident thing...I was actually going to post a rant...but thought, it's probably not a great idea. However, I do have to say this

I really don’t like these martial artists who think just because they have seniority and such that they expect everyone to listen to them. If that is the case there will never be any progress. People have to ask questions, people have to have their own opinions. Yes, you should respect your elders and those around you, but what I’ve learned is that respect should be mutual. If they do not respect you, they do not respect your individuality then they do not deserve your respect. Now, this may sound really harsh, but that’s what I believe in. Respect is gained, it is not a given, sometimes people need a bit of reminding...so good on Kevin.

Ya...that's about it...so remember to comment and I'll be back soon...thanks for the reminder about my other fanfics...I will get to them since I'm off now (though I'm in the middle of graduate applications).

Remember to comment,

The End is Near: Ch 3

Howdy folks,

So today I wrote my final exam as an undergrad...that's right...I'm graduating! I thought that I'd post something up today...just cause I have nothing to do (Not true, I have my thesis to write). Without further delay...

~ Conference Room~

Ron: Ok...so I just received an email from the producer and there seems to be a slight change in the production that we’re supposed to start next week

Bosco: Change?

Ron: Well...instead of one lead actress, apparently it was recently decided that there will be two lead actresses, essentially splitting the screen time in half...

Myolie: The script-writer’s probably pissed off about that

Ron: Actually...he somehow knew that such change would occur and already had a backup plan

Guy: And he didn’t have the decency to tell us about it before hand

Ron: Hold on...you can’t blame the guy, it was a hunch, a good hunch but still a hunch

Bosco: You’re always playing the nice guy...sometimes you really got to stand your ground...you ARE the director

Ron: Well...I’ll stand my ground when the filming starts and I’ll make sure that both actresses’ acting is up to par so that they could play the part convincingly. Even if the co-star is a newbie...I won’t allow any mistakes

Lady: So, what are we going to do about the costumes?

Ron: Well, I already asked the producer about that, so don’t worry about it Nancy...he’ll get back to you...you know how it is anyways, recycling of old costumes

Nancy: Ok...cause what we’ve collected so far is meant for the characters in the original script...you’re pretty lucky it’s a modern drama...imagine the chaos if it was a period drama

Ron: I know, I know...but the instructions were sent from above so...there’s nothing much I can do about it

Myolie: What are you trying to imply?

Ron: Let’s just say this newbie’s father is one of our bosses...ok?

Bosco: Got it...

(whispers in the room)

Ron: Alright, alright...that’s about all that I have to say for now...so...go home, have a nice rest and I’ll see you all back tomorrow so we can go over some stuff

~ Filming~

Ron: Before we get started, I’d like to remind everyone that we should be careful as to what props we use in the set, especially to get rid of brands and tags of companies that are not paying to have their product or name placed in our drama. And...

Woman: Director, can I say a few words

Ron: Uh...sure, go ahead Sire...

Sire smiled: Thanks...I just wanted to say that since I’m new I might make some mistakes, so I’d like to apologize in advance and I look forward to learning a lot from everyone here

Bosco whispering to Myolie: She seems pretty decent...

Myolie whispering back: Careful honey, these cute ones always come back to bite

Bosco: What’s that supposed to mean?

Myolie: You’ll see...

Ron: Thank you Sire, anyways, I was going to end off my little spiel with just a few words of encouragement and...That lunch will be served at noon

There were a few chuckles, as everyone went and got into their respective places, ready to film.

Bosco: Places everyone!!!

Ron: Ready? Action!

~ Filming of the drama~

Vincent: This is it then?

Sire: I don’t know...I...I...

Ron: CUT!!! Let’s start again...do you want to look at the script again?

Sire: No, I’m sorry, I was just a bit nervous...

Ron: It’s alright...let’s do it again from the top of the flashback scene. Ready? Action!

Vincent: This is it then?

Sire: I don’t know...I just can’t take this place anymore...but...

Vincent: But you still have feelings for me...don’t you?

Sire: I...I shouldn’t (she turns away from him)

Ron: Cut! Good take...we’ll move on to Mandy’s scene...so Sire...you can go have a little break or stick around and watch her film

Sire: If you don’t mind, I have to meet my dad at his office...so I’ll be leaving first...but I’ll return in time for the afternoon take

Ron: Sure, go ahead

Sire: Thanks

Ron: No problem

Sire: Maybe next time you can join us?

Ron smiled and nodded: Sure...if it works with our work schedule

===============

~Hospital~

Linda: How many times do I need to remind you the patient in bed 201 is allergic an assortment of flower pollen?

Nurse: I’m sorry, I...was just trying to cheer her up...she told me she really likes flowers...

Linda: But you should’ve remembered that she’s allergic. No more flowers and tell the other visitors to not bring flowers into this room...

Nurse: I’m really sorry

Linda: Go and do your job

She stood at the entrance to the room, with her hand clasp against her forehead. Why is it that she always seems to catch him while he does these stupid things? And why is she the one that has to scold him, in front of all the other doctors and nurses.

Queenie: Hey, sis...calm down...ok? Elaine’s a nice girl, she was only trying to make the patient happy

Linda: She could’ve killed her

Queenie: She just went through a bad break up, give the girl some slack

Linda: What? Break-up? Again?

Queenie: That’s mean

Linda: It’s not my fault that she seems to be in and out of relationships every other month...

Queenie: she’s your best friend since kindergarten

Linda: You think I should go talk to her...right?

Queenie: Obviously! She’s heartbroken...and now you just gave her a nice scolding in front of everyone, how do you think she feels?

Linda: Alright, I’ll go talk to her

~ Break room~

She was sitting at the table alone, and it sounded as though she was actually crying. Linda just stood there and watched her. She was always like this...always getting bullied, always trying to making others happy, always get herself into trouble...but she was always there for her as well. She couldn’t imagine what her life would’ve been like without her. She was the one that encouraged her to go into medicine to begin with. She told her that she’d stick around to help her whenever she needed help and next thing Linda knew, Elaine decided to go into nursing.

She slowly walked towards where Elaine was sitting and took a seat next to her.

Linda: You ok?

Elaine: I’m...I’m fine

Linda: I’m sorry about yelling at you...I know you were only trying to make a patient feel better

Elaine: No, it was my fault...you had every right to yell at me

Linda: But I should’ve just spoken to you in private or something...

Elaine: Ya...you could’ve done that...but it’s not exactly your style is it? (she tried to smile)

Linda: Sorry...and I heard about you know...

Elaine: My break-up?

Linda: Ya...sorry...I should’ve been a better friend

Elaine: You’re always so busy...I get it...it’s ok...besides you did warn me about him

Linda: you’re a great person Elaine, you’ll find your other half soon...

Elaine: I know, but...look we’re nearing thirty...and...

Linda: At least you’re dating, right...Look at me, I haven’t gone out with anyone since Kenneth

Elaine: At least you’re not getting your heart broken...

They both heaved a sigh

Linda: We should go for a drink later...how about it?

Elaine: We’ll see...anyways...I better get back to work...I don’t want to get yelled at again (she nudged Linda)

===============

It's not exactly the best chapter...but the next one will be something...so...stay tuned for more!

Please leave me a comment/comments...and thanks for the previous comments! If I get a few comments...I'll definitely update sooner, especially cause I'm pretty free from now on (again, not true...I'm free after Friday)

So...bye for now!
