FANFIC: Take 2: Ch 15

ok...so winglin is acting up again and I just can't take it this time. My updates for Take 2 has been WAY overdue and to wait even more to update it would be ridiculous...so I'm posting it here instead.

The following is what I have posted up on winglin:

Ch 15

Where do I begin? It’s been way too long since I’ve updated this fanfic. Should I tell you that we are nearing the end? Should I tell you that this fanfic will be over soon? Or...should I just apologize for not updating for so long. I feel as though this fanfic has turned into one of those real draggy shows...the ones that you hope would end, yet if it ended you’d feel as though you haven’t had enough because it moved way too slow. So, I’m gonna speed things up at this point and try to end this fanfic very soon.

``

From waking up early to greet her with warm drinks before class, to waiting for her after class, he was doing it all. Her presence seemed to have lightened up his days for they were usually not that great...and the more he spent time with her, the more he wanted her to be his. Yet, time and time again she rejected him...

~Library~

Leila walked into the library and noticed her good friend Linda sitting there, having her head buried in a text book. She walked over and tapped her on the shoulder


Linda looked up: hey


Leila: Hey


Linda: You’re alone today?


Leila nodded


Linda: Where’s your new best friend?


Leila: Is someone jealous?


Linda laughed: Oh please...he’s not my type


Leila: seems to me like you’re getting closer to Ron


Linda: I see him a few times a week...but...nothing’s gonna happen between the two of us...he’s obviously still in love with you


Leila: I didn’t think that we were in that deep...I guess I was wrong


Linda: Well...now you learned your lesson...right?


Leila: Um...ya...so...what do you think of Bosco? You do realize that he’s been after me for a while now...


Linda: Don’t you tell me you want to...


Leila: Well...I don’t know...I like him as a friend...and he is pretty cute...and he can bake...you know I love cakes


Linda: What if the same thing happens between the two of you like between you and Ron?


Leila: You don’t know for sure...so...maybe I should give it a try? What do you think?


Linda: It seems to me like you’ve already made up your mind...


~ two days later~


Leila was once again walking towards her class as she noticed that someone was once again standing around waiting for her. He had been persistent...maybe a bit too persistent, but it seemed as though it was working. She was now a bit more interested in her pursuer than she originally thought she would be. He was almost everything she wanted...and most importantly like in the wild there was something about him that attracted her. Whether it was his smile or that great smell of his coming from what seemed to be the smell of laundry detergent and whatever else.


Bosco walked towards her slowly as the snow continued to fall upon them. The scene was a bit mesmerizing; beautiful white snow blanketing the university grounds, and as he got closer to her he knew that it was now or never, as he thought so every time he attempted to ask her out.


Leila: let me guess, you have a cup of hot chocolate with my name on it?


Bosco shook his head


Leila: Did you bake me a muffin?


Once again her guess was wrong


Leila: Flowers?


Bosco: nope


Leila: Then what is it?


Bosco: Nothing...


Leila: nothing?


Bosco: I’ve expended all of my resources trying to ask you out, yet time and time again you reject my sincere ‘proposal’ if you will, so this time, I come to you empty handed, with nothing to offer except for me, and this heart of mine that seems to tell me that you’re the one...


Leila: You know...I can’t really go out with a guy who’s broke since I’m quite a demanding a girlfriend


Bosco: Well...if it makes a difference, I have a part time job...so...I think I can work things out


Leila smiled: Hmm...if that’s the case...I don’t think I can continue to reject you...


Bosco smiled: So, that’s a yes then?


Leila nodded and the next thing she knew she was in the air. He wrapped his arms around her and picked her up. From that moment onward they were a pair and he continued to do as he did before while he tried to woo her, the only difference was that now he was never shot down.


Days to come seemed to have become a bit warmer, as the snow continued to fall. This time he was waiting for her to come out of class and into his arms so that he could take her to lunch. As she walked out of class and saw him, a smile had crept onto her face.


Leila: What are we going to do today?


Bosco: first lunch, but before that...


He had planted a kiss upon her lips under the falling snow.


Leila: it seems as though your lips are softer than mine


Bosco laughed: Of all things to notice? Well...I do like my chapstick


Leila: That’s not fair...I’m the girl


Bosco smiled: Then I’ll stop using it


Leila: No...I don’t want to kiss you if your lips are all dry and chapped


Bosco chuckled: Seems to me like I’ve gotten myself a very demanding girlfriend


~ Library~


Ron was sitting around watching Linda study at her usual spot in the library. For some reason watching her study was amusing to him, and once in a while he’d learn about something ‘sciencey’ from her.


Linda: Hey Ron...


Ron: Ya?


Linda: Spoken to Leila lately?


Ron shook his head


Linda: Are you avoiding her?


Ron didn’t seem to answer


Linda: I’ll take your silence as a yes...so...when are you going to tell her how you feel? Are you going to just sit around and watch me study, while she’s out with another guy?


Ron looked up at Linda


Linda: She’s going out with that Bosco guy...you know...tall, sort of scrawny looking...


Ron: Oh


Linda: Oh? That’s all you’re going to say?


Ron: What else do you want me to say? That I hate this guy for dating my ex-girlfriend who I’m obviously still in love with? (He started to get louder) That I’m in pain cause she broke my heart when she unexpectedly broke up with me? If you’re really my friend then...you should just stop...


Linda: I’m asking cause I care about you...cause we’re friends...if we weren’t I’d completely ignore your existence. Why in the world would I want to have to deal with some unimportant person’s business when I could be doing other things? Why?


Ron: I’m...sorry...I didn’t mean to raise my voice or anything...I just...


Linda: I know you’re unhappy...and you’re hurt...but Ron...she moved on...and so should you. I know that you’re a pretty sentimental person...and girls love guys who are sentimental...but...the two of you only went out for like 3 months


Ron: It was actually 93 days


Linda: But the point is...the ‘love’ the two of you had was short-lived and so...shouldn’t you hold on to the memories that were beautiful instead of the bitter taste it left you?


Ron: Whoa...you just got all poetic there...what’s going on Linda? Is spending time with me having an effect on you?


Linda: Funny...but stop changing the topic...I think you should go talk to her...


Ron: And say what? How about...Leila...I’m still madly in love with you and I really want you back...but...it seems that that’s not going to happen anytime soon, so how about we be friends again?


Linda: Why not?


Ron: And...you think I’ll be saying those things to her, or her shoes?

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

So...those of you who were rooting for RL from the beginning are probably hating me for putting Bosco and Leila together...but let me assure you there is still hope for RL...in my fanfic. So, please be patient and wait for the many RL scenes to come...

anyways...do leave me a comment either in the cbox on the side or well in the comment section.

I'll update very soon...(within 24 hours)

This Christmas

Traditions are made by humans, thus they can be changed and omitted. I'm a more traditional person, and prefer to have my traditions kept and so I've decided to write a special fanfic, but not for Christmas, but for Valentine's day. However, the GOOD news is, I will write a special Christmas chapter for all three of my fanfics and...of course the Epilogue to my fanfic which has the title of Tired of Being Sorry...will also take place during Christmas, or rather the holiday season.

I hope all of you are as excited as I am for what is to come with my fanfics. To be honest, it doesn't feel like Christmas at all. I live in Canada, and this year I have a wet green Christmas. It really ruins the entire holiday for me, and the thing that disappoints me most I didn't get to spend my Christmas eve with just family. As some of you recall from earlier posts, I go away to university and spending time with family is essential to me, thus, I look forward to the holidays, like Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving and etc. But this year everything has changed, my Christmas was probably the worst Christmas I can recall having. Yes, the worst one.

anyways, I hate the fact that some of you are reading and thinking to yourself, 'why is randomness so down when it's just an amazing time of year?' But I'm not 'down' i just don't feel very jolly or happy but I feel as though today (Christmas Day) is just another day.

Well...if you would like to read a truly depressing post on why my holiday sorta sucks, I'll be posting it up later in my personal blog.

Anyways,

CHEERS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM RANDOMNESS, THE ONE WHO HOPEFULLY PUTS A SMILE ON YOUR FACE WITH FANFICS!

Oh...the next update of The Stalker will have my view of the two grand productions by TVB...so you should definitely anticipate a very amusing update


Bye for now.

My Apologies

Howdy,

I have to apologize for the fact that I CAN NOT update my fanfic tonight...the reason as to why lies with an assignment that is extremely absurd (which is due tomorrow).

I will try however to update the fanfic SOON...since it is my goal to update this new fanfic once every 2 weeks...and it has been 2 weeks...but i can assure you it won't 'leak' over onto the next week.

ALSO!!! When I update The Stalker...there is a high possibility that Take 2 will FINALLY be updated after a VERY long time.

In the Eyes of Randomness

Ok...I know this post is a totally random one that I didn't even expect myself to put up...but I had to. As I was reading through my biochem textbook and got bored...I started to browse the internet for something that might interest me. And that was when I saw it...I don't know about you...but for some VERY VERY odd reason this reminds me of Twilight. If you've been reading my blog and saw my vlog you would know I'm not much of a Twilight fan...but that's besides the point. So...tell me what you think of this poster...does it remind you of Twilight? New Moon? Or...am I totally bored from reading biochem and making weird connections?

Side note: I'm not exactly looking forward to this series, I definitely don't have high expectations for it even though it has quite the outstanding cast. I do hope that it will be an enjoyable series and not another hyped up flop.

Tell me what you think!

Random: BLEH!

Yes...the title completely describes how I feel at the moment. BLEH! See...at the moment...I am uninspired, unmotivated and bored. I tried to update my fanfics but was unsuccessful because I couldn't access winglin...and then...when I could...I lost all inspiration to do so. I can't write a piece of music because...I just don't feel like it...and worse of all...I haven't even truly studied for my MCAT...because I'm unmotivated.

I feel that I've wasted almost my entire doing nothing except for getting sick and volunteering at a hospital...which is pretty ok...i guess. But...my summer has been unproductive and lacking in more than just excitement...it's lacking everywhere...just like the health care system in Canada. Anyways, I don't want to say too much about my views on some 'political' topic or anything...so...

If you read my fanfic...and have been visiting my blog...you would've remembered me saying something about starting a new fanfic this coming August...and that a poll will be set up to vote for

a) THE TITLE

b) THE FEMALE LEADS

so...the poll is now up...please make your vote

ooo...check out my first VLOG on youtube...it's about my views on TWILIGHT... (click me)

if you like it or hate it...do subscribe...cause I go on youtube often...so if you leave me messages and whatnots I could get back to you quicker...

Adios...for now

An Overdue Review: The Gem of Life

It's been a while since I updated this blog...and I guess to start with all the upcoming updates...it will be a review of the series The Gem of Life. Why not Moonlight...just because it's not the right time...

I've been watching TVB series since I was born...and what appeals to me most is not just the hype TVB gives any series but rather the familiar faces. When I heard about The Gem of Life I was very excited for its cast consisted of people who were so familiar to me. Not only that, but individually (the majority of the cast) their acting had always met or exceeded my expectations. I was excited and heavily anticipated for the release of this very long series.

A lot of people gave up half way through the series saying how the storyline was a drag, it was too long, they ran out ideas and whatnot. However, I managed to finish watching the entire series...yes...that's right...I endured it all. After watching the entire series I was a tad bit disappointed with a variety of things. But...let's not talk about my disappointment...well...I'll save that for the end. So...let me get started with the actual review...

The storyline was not that exciting...well...actually it's more like the MAIN storyline was not that exciting. The entire series like most people already know about is about three sisters...their lives, whether it was love life, work life...it was about them...everything revolved around them. The three sisters represented three different characters...were they totally different? Well...not exactly if you over analyze everything like I do.

The eldest sister was Sylvia played by the one and only Maggie Siu. Sylvia is the independent stubborn workaholic type who seems to care more about her career and her own dignity above all else. Her character seemed to not get along with Louise's character...not because they're completely different people...but because Sylvia is exactly like her mother.


The middle daughter was Constance played by the now retired Gigi Lai. Constance is a rather ridiculously naive character...who seems to be the peace maker ALL the time...and is the "good guy." To me Constance was a very emotional person who would let her emotions drive her...making her a bit stubborn, a bit determined...but generally speaking...very gullible. This is why even though she is not the youngest, she is the one that her parents are most worried about.


The youngest daughter was Jessica played by Ada Choi. Jessica was a very determined character...and very stubborn as well. Money is what drives her...and money is what guides her. That is why she married a man who she thought would bring her happiness through being successful in the business realm...but she was wrong. Later on when she married Elliot's character...she eventually learned that money isn't...well...not exactly...everything.

So...those are the three main characters. This entire series was very much female dominant...just like a lot of the more recent TVB series...I think. Um...so...with a large female cast, with great acting abilities...I can't forget about their male counterparts. Funny enough each of the sister has 2 men by their sides...whether it is a normal relationship or a romantic one...that was the case.

Maggie had Kenny and Bowie, Gigi had Eddie and Moses, Ada had Wong He and Elliot. Relationship wise, my personal favourite was Maggie and Bowie. I thought they had great chemistry...and...they were the most entertaining to watch. Gigi's relationship with Moses was very much unrealistic and boring to watch...from around the middle to the end of the whole thing. Ada had great chemistry with Elliot and from the beginning as the viewers we all knew how Wong He would never be the one for Ada...even though he would try and work very hard to be the right guy for her.

On a side note...I found Linda's character in this series to be very fascinating...and I didn't understand why and how she started to like Bosco at the end. It didn't make sense to me...I thought she was in love with Wong He...and personally I thought they would've made a nice couple...even though everyone else thinks their relationship was more a brother-sister thing. I can't wait to watch the series with Wong He and Linda...lol.

Back to my review:

A character I loved...other than Linda's lol...was Louise. She acts so well...especially when she had Alzheimer it was amazingly well acted. Though, at first you'd probably despise her character. What type of mother would teach their daughters to marry rich instead of work hard to earn a decent respectable living? But overtime you start to understand her more...and then you grow to love her character...especially when she started to change for the better. And how hard she tried to bring her family together again...it was very touching and somewhat emotional.

So...here's a quick summary of my true thoughts on the series

The Good: the cast...absolutely grand and fabulous with everyone's (or almost everyone's) acting up to par

The Bad: The length of the series was ridiculous...

The Useless: Once again...I found Bosco's character to be quite useless...I don't dislike Bosco as an actor...in fact I like him...but it's just that his character was just useless...there was no need to make him 'stick' out...and his so called feelings for Elise (Linda's character) was so fake and unrealistic...and how she fell in love with him was also absolutely ridiculous...

Conclusion: Do watch if you have plenty of time to spare...if you have little time...watch something else...but...I did enjoy this series...but would never rewatch it entirely for I have things to do ^_^


I know this is a horrible review (on my part) but I can't seem to organize my thoughts for this review...I think from now on I'll write my reviews in a more organized way...unlike this thing

I'm BACK!!!

WOW! Can you imagine that I survived my first year of university by watching a lot of TVB, korean and japanese dramas? That's sadly what I did...which was a bad idea. I should've spent the time reading my text, solving homework problems and reading a lot of other stuff...but instead I sat at my desk and stared into my laptop. That explains my total train-wreck of an average. It's not BAD...it's just not good at all...it's so 'not good' that I didn't even make the Dean's list...there goes my scholarship...*tear*

Anyways...let's get back on track.

So...I initially thought that I would be updating my fanfics today...but...after seeing my EXTREMELY depressing physics mark...it totally destroyed my mood and inspiration to write...which is why I'm sorta blogging to let off some steam. So...what does this mean you might ask? Well...let me show you the line-up...for this week

1. Update Take 2 (yes...the fanfic that is NEVER updated...will be updated)
2. Post up a little something about first year...in my personal blog
3. Post up a review on Gem of Life...
4. Update A Truthful Lie
5. To be announced...


Well...that's this week's line up of events...so...be sure to come back to my blog...or visit my fanfics...and check those out...(they'll be coming up...one at a time...from tomorrow until Sunday) and then...we'll see what I will come up with next.

Below is a video that I posted up on Youtube...under a different account and it is a piece that I wrote...to me it still sounds a bit unfinished...but I did improvise the ending of it...so ya. Check it out, I hope you enjoy and...forgive me for screwing up my own piece of music at the beginning.

That's a Wrap!


What a year 2008 was...I’m in total shock that it’s over...


For me 2008 was a year of change, moving forward from high school where I could sleep in class but barely did, to university where I shouldn’t sleep in class but did. University has been tougher than I had originally expected...and thus, it took away my time for writing fanfics and updating my blog.

In the year 2008 I watched 10 out of the 26 TVB series that was released...and I’m still watching Gem of Life...a series that is a bit older for me to watch...but still very watchable nonetheless. After being a TVB fan for so long, I thought I should explore what other types of dramas had to offer. So, 2008 became my year of exploration, watching both Japanese and Korean dramas. And I was amazed...by the difference in the storyline they had compared to TVB’s.


But TVB did end up offering quite a number of high quality dramas this year...I was shockingly pleased with quite a few of these dramas. Well, most of them didn’t satisfy me in every way possible, but the drama did its job as a whole...to entertain. I think the drama that I actually liked the most out of all the dramas I watched this year...was in fact not a TVB drama/series. It’s sad to say that the one drama I enjoyed most...was in fact a Korean drama entitled World Within or something along those lines.

TVB dramas may be something I watched since probably when I was born...but over the years the realization that a lot of what it has to offer is more idealistic or extremely unrealistic just loses my interest. TVB has produced several dramas that deal with the day to day lives of families...the inner struggle and all...but fails to do something...something that...the Korean drama I found myself enjoying actually displayed.


Anyways, back to TVB...I did enjoy quite a few of the series they had produced this year like Catch Me Now, My Class or Yours, The Four, and A Journey Called Life. Yes, those series only had about 20 or so episodes...and I found myself not losing interest. You may say that these four series are not memorable, and I would not argue that point with you for the fact that I agree that they are not memorable..

but sometimes I watch certain series for the sake of entertainment...and these four series served its purpose. And plus I’ve learned quite a few interesting things from two of the four above mentioned series...


Of course there were disappointments this year as well...like all of the sequels. Yes, some of the sequels had higher ratings than their prequels or supposed prequels (cough, moonlight, cough). But the saddening part is those series tried too hard...


Let’s take an example from Moonlight Resonance...it achieved a remarkable high rating, it took home several awards yet I didn’t find myself loving it at all. In fact, the only characters I enjoyed watching from Moonlight were Ha Yu’s, Moses’, Susanna’s, Tavia’s and Michelle’s. Those five people stole the show for me. Their acting was up to par...or met my expectations, and their characters were very likable in a more realistic manner...compared to characters like Raymond’s, Linda’s and Bosco’s, which were horrific. I must apologize to fans of Raymond before continuing this blog...for I hated his role with a passion. His role resembled Moses’ role from Heart of Greed...but Raymond’s role was ridiculous. How could there possibly be such a nice guy like that...actually it is NOT possible. Raymond’s portrayal of the character made him look stupid, naive and in a way made it seem like he was too good to be true. Moses’ character in Heart of Greed on the other hand, was a nice guy as well...but more realistic...since he had fantasized about being with Linda’s character...which makes it seem very logical. It’s a shame that TVB tried so hard to make Raymond’s character likable, that it backfired and made me hate his character SO VERY MUCH!



Ah...I’ll continue this rant later in the year when I actually decide to write reviews on the TVB series I’ve watched in 2008...or at least a few of them.


Moving on to 2009, what will I do?


First off, I’ll finish my Christmas Special, and then I’ll finish Tired of Being Sorry...which was supposed to be finished eons ago. That would leave me with A Truthful Lie and the fanfic that is on and off of hiatus, Take 2. Hopefully, I won’t randomly decide to start another fanfic before I finish A Truthful Lie...which I hope will become a tear jerker...lol


As for TVB series...my plan is to watch a couple of the sequels, any series with Tavia or Ron or Bobby or Jessica in them, the grand production with Gallen, and the series with Nick Cheung.


Lately, I’ve been sick of seeing Raymond and Bosco on my computer screen/TV...and the good news is, apparently Raymond only has one series next year...which I might consider watching, if it’s a modern one. As for Bosco...TVB should just stop giving him roles that make him look like a useless human being in the series. I know my words are a bit harsh, but hey, it’s not like I’m criticizing his acting or anything. I just find his recent roles useless...but on a good note...I do enjoy listening to one of his songs, which I don’t remember the title of. Oh well.


Also...I will...continue to watch The Gem of Life until the very end...I will be patient with it and let it grow on me because I do find it a bit interesting lol


Well...

I wish everyone a year filled with joy, laughter, good health and good luck!
