If the next time we meet and I hug you for like 10 mins d'you reckon some of your writing prowess will literally rub off on me? :3
this "writing prowess" does not exist, but i can think of other ways i could rub off on you ;)

Naiiyak ako sa kagalingan mo magsulat :') I loved the mom and dad story thing huhu naiiyak ako I'm not even kidding
I'LL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT ON KIK I'M SO EXCITED TO WRITE IT
What is the weirdest thing you've heard somebody say?
(so i added this part on the rewritten version of thh and now i want to write a novella for it and i know it's v cliched but it's been a while since i really had that "I NEED TO WRITE THIS" feeling so)
“My dad loved watching those cooking shows on TV,” I told him. “I guess I ended up liking them, too.”
I smiled at the memory of him and Mom fighting over the remote whenever a basketball game was on. Mom (who for some reason happened to love watching sports) would always, always try to argue with him, but he would never budge, and Mom and I would be forced to watch whatever cooking show was on with him.
“Is he as good as you?”
“He sucked.” I turned to him, unable to stop myself from grinning. “He can even manage to burn soup.”
“How does one even burn soup?”
“Exactly!”
“So he sucks at cooking,” he said, his brows furrowed as he slid his eyes to mine, “but he loves it?”
“He was friend-zoned for the longest time ever when he and Mom were in college,” I told him. “Mom was dating this guy whose parents owned a restaurant. Naturally, this guy was a great cook, and he would always bring her some lunch or invite her over for a home-cooked meal or whatever.
“She told Dad something about how she’d never settle for a guy who can’t cook, so he started watching all these cooking shows to learn,” I said. “He never really got the hang of it, but the shows stuck.”
It was a story he’d told me one too many times, but I never got tired of hearing it. He and Mom had met at a party at a mutual friend’s dorm. He originally had his eyes set on Mom’s best friend, so when Colette asked him to bring Mom back to her dorm, he couldn’t refuse.
Mom had been drunk (“I wasn’t that drunk,” Mom would protest, but Dad would discreetly mouth “She was pissed drunk” whenever they told this story to other people) because of some guy. Not only had she puked on him thrice, she’d also apparently ruined his chances of hooking up with Colette because the moment he left the party, this guy from some frat suddenly arrived to sweep her off her feet.
Case in point, he hated Mom. Or at least he held a grudge against her.
Mom, however, took a habit of relying on him when she had problems—whether it was a failed grade or some guy—and they became friends. Sort of.
Long story short, he eventually fell in love with the girl who, he later found out, thought he was gay all along.

WHERE DID YOU SEE IT I want it too! Keribels na sayo yang 2k kapag published ka na haha but srsly you should get it!The language is very formal, almost didactic really, pero I love how intelligently-written it is. Actually I read some of the books before the show and I already fell in love at 14 lol
IT'S THIS 2ND HAND BOOKSTORE THING idek if they still have it since the last time i came by was like 2 months ago. hahaha lahat naman ng classics eh haha you haven't finished them all tho??

I LOVED IT I cried quite a lot but then again I'm a crybaby peroo yeah I guess it isn't really Best Movie material. Definitely a good watch though.
i'm telling you now ever since watching the shawshank redemption every other movie began to suck. really. it ruined all the other movies out there for me.
i keep this film log on my journal (lol) and my reviews on post-shawshank films are very very very brutal haha (i do still enjoy a lot of movies though haahahaha)

I don't get how you don't feel like Sherlock is 1000x better bc of a multitude of reasons I could go on and on about but okay :-( I like Elementary's title sequence though.
maybe bc i watched it before watching sherlock?? like, idk maybe i kind of got a little attached to it :)) and idk they're just both unique in their own ways so i feel like they're both in a league of their own, separate from each other (wtf am i even saying hahahahaha)
in any case, i've decided to go back to its roots and read the novels sometime this year :))

ELEMENTARY'S PILOT IS CRAP I'm telling you. It gets a little better but it doesn't come close to Sherlock. Hay naku, SammyLou, you should've saved season 3. The wait is too long :<
i've watched elementary before (mas una ko ngang napanood before sherlock) :)) i've watched the first 5 episodes with my brother, then he chose to be an asshole and watched ahead of me and i watched some snippets from latter episodes when i randomly join him hahaha
tbh i kinda like them both equally bc i feel like they're different?? i mean, pareho sila ng essence, pero magkaiba kase yung throughline and execution so idk

I don't watch the 100 so I can't relate. ._. Well, I watch the originals<3 damn feels. Prettt little liars which is annoying me a lot. Baby daddy and melissa and joey are so funny xD. Switched at birth, woooh drama wooooh. ONCE UPON A TIME<3 I don't really have a favourite or smt
I'M DEBATING OVER READING OR WATCHING PLL like i really can't make up my mind bc a lot of people say the books and the series are very different from each other?
I'M DEFINITELY LOOKING INTO THESE (tho idk how i can possibly manage to fit watching tv series into my sched *cries*)

What do you like about wattpad?
the fact that it gives people an outlet to improve their writing alongside others who are also trying to become better in their own ways
What do you hate about wattpad?
if we're talking strictly of wattpad, then i'm going with the technical stuff:
- the previous profile had been loads better than this new one
- the glitching on both web and app versions
- the fact that you can't fucking view inline comments on the web version (like why the fuck are there even inline comments in the first place)
- the stupid auto-filter rule when it comes to rating (like how some words automatically trigger the story rating to change to restricted like they should at least look and really really evaluate if the material really is being offensive instead of waiting for the author to complain)
ofc there are things beyond these technical shit that i hate, but i can't really blame wattpad for them

in the end i just finished s3 of sherlock (i vowed not to do this to myself bc s4 won't be out until next fucking year) but in the end my resolve cracked and now i'm sitting here having sherlock withdrawals (which is why i ended up torrenting the movies with robert downey jr hahahaha)
(also i need to get a copy of elementary asap)
(or anything that involves mystery solving bc it inspires me for that story idea i told you about hahahaha)

ae you gonna publish a rewritten version of thh or are you just going to edit the old one?
only half is rewritten, and the rest are just edited to fit the "new" chapters better. (basically it's kind of like a frankenstein novel and i currently detest it bc i feel like i've only made it worse)
