Hi, come in. Welcome again to my world, folks.
Well. Lot of things happened in my life.
However, I’m glad that was over.
 


The good news is I finally reconciled with my family and I was granted privilege to be independent for the first time. Thanks to Magz from Oz for reminding me that in babble section, very appreciated. Family is indeed important because family is our heaven in the earth.

Well, my parents are very overprotective and I admit that I misunderstood them all the time, so that could explain everything. They’re care about me but they way they convey it just wrong, so there’s miscommunication for a long time.
 


I even got my first hug from both of them when I asked. I knew it’s weird because in my place showing such affection is a peculiar thing. Don’t ask about public display of affections, you already know about the answer.

That also works when say “I love you”. They never say I love you, they’re showing it through their actions, provide what I needed and spare their times. My Gran said “The greatest gift that we can give to our beloved is our time; because it’s a part of our soul that we will never get it back.”

Being parents also hard, there’s no detailed lesson for that.
 


For now, I don’t want to think about Love. Love is really a weird feeling that made me think illogically and do something crazy for one thing that still uncertain. It’s so random.

So, I agree with Sheldon Cooper.

“Love is in the air? Wrong. Nitrogen, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are in the air.”

And The Doctor:

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
 

I decided to take over family business and becoming an heir; however before that finally happen; I would like to try my best to run my own business first. So, I could learn about things that I needed to know. I don’t want to ruin everything with knowing nothing.

Old folk said that experience is the best teacher and the journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. The last is from Lao Tzu :)

My Father supports business that I will run through, he also interested in what I’m capable of. Well, like Father like Son after all.

I think that’s also selfish and ungrateful for me to waste away my ancestor efforts. Another reason is to keep family namesake and lineage, just like a Legacy challenge. It’s not my life anymore anyway, because the fixed rule is Firstborn and it’s based on Patriarchy :)
 


There are no parents that not thinking about their children. Especially Mother, she’s always right when it comes to a hunch ::)
That’s why. I never bored to tell ya. Respect your Elders because they’re usually know something that we didn’t know.
 


Well, enough about me. I have three stories for you to read.
Happy reading, folks!

Regards,
Ari

How lucky are we? You have been busy and and you get back there are 3 separate stories! Mis Deseos was great, it was really cool to see all your characters in one spot. Because You Loved Me was just gorgeous and I do love to see Holly.. can't wait to see what happens there. Wrecking Ball was a blast! Go Cassie!!! Well done Ari!  ;D

@KTK10 : Thank you so much, KTK!

I’ve been working on it little by little actually since the last November. My favorite one is Mis Deseos maybe because I can ask them anything that I want since it’s really a Fourth Wall and I want to keep main story-line to the point but I was lost in process myself, dunno about things that I want to ask.

Because You Loved Me part also challenging, it’s kind of simulation for Immortal Dynasty to get Ambrosia for real, I was lost in the progress too but somehow I can make it, so it’s like a testing. Well, skilling and discovering thing is also fun! Since the last patch things this game become much challenging, it’s just like play a hardcore game :D

There’s no way to have all of them at once. It’s actually fun to have read-marathon to catch up with everyone stories (still not covered ‘em all) for one day after celebrating Christmas, that’s quite a challenge for me. Unfortunately that my eyes couldn’t hold it, I end up with an eye sore but I’m very happy to be here again :D

Banzai~!

It's nearly 12 mn in my timezone but goodness, I am eating your stories up!

Sorry it took me so long to get to it. :)

I love how your stories (especially your spin-offs) glide through different directions, something sorrowful, to something more delightful, then a touch of mystery in some places. It kept me going and I practically finished all of them even if it does mean I'll wake up late tomorrow.  ;D

I look forward to reading more.  ;)

@imayu94 It’s alright. Thank you for taking your time, ayu.
Thing that you can be sure of one story is related to another directly or indirectly. So, what’s not explainable in one story will be covered in another.

I love to tell a different side, as there are many versions just from one story. So, that’s what make creating stories are interesting and fun! I think even a side character/cameo is important in my life—I’m not a writer—but they’re deserved to be the main cast too :)

If you look carefully, there’s a hint that related to upcoming stories as well. Even it looks subtle and vague. 

Next updates will be ready soon. Hold on.

Last Chapter & One Special
« Reply #36 on: January 19, 2015, 02:51:32 AM »


Hi, again. Thanks for coming. Welcome to my world, folks!
Happy New Year 2015!
Even wondering for what I did these days?
 


Eh, no? Aww. Okay.
 


 *Sit around the corner while drawing on dirt with stick*
 


Nah, just kidding!
 


Well, I begin to work out to building muscle, it starting with a dumbbell. (Unfortunately there’s no such of thing available in current game so this screenshot would work). After reading workout book “The Men’s Fitness Exercise Bible” by Sean Hyson, I feel energized and started to work out like crazy and it ends up with muscle strain for one week. So, I start to take it slowly for now… :P *learned from my silly lesson*



I’m not aiming to be a bodybuilder nor decided to slimming down, I love my body—I’m proud for being plump—well, that’s now—there’s a time when I hate my physical body SO MUCH. It’s occurred when I still a teenager; I used to have a poor self-image.
Well, I’m doing this mainly it’s for health and working purpose. Thanks to that my health has been improved significantly :)
 


However, I still have my struggle on grow a full growing beard. I had advice from my Great-Uncle how to grow one. He said that I could get the ingredients from the forest; which grows near where my extended family lives.

It’d be a long trip for a quest to growing beard alone, LOL. Well, I want to try different variation of facial hairs. I’ve a plan to go there together with my Gran. Well, she loves to visit the relatives. For her family is very important.
 


My Gran and Great-Aunts disapprove if I having one (read: beard) like my Great-Uncle. They prefer me to have a clean shaving. Its two men against four ladies… We’re overwhelmed and have no chance to win, lol!
 


What’s wrong anyway? It’s kinda cool to have a beard.  <pouts>
 


At least you’ll look older, scarier, wilder and wiser… :P <just imagine>
 


Great-Uncle and Aunts said that I resemble my late Grandfather so much. The way that I talk, the way that I look, the way that I like, they said that as if my Grandpa is still here. I wonder that for myself… Am I looking like him so much?

Most of Gran friends say so.

That also remind me of my high school crush who ever said to me when she gets married she doesn’t want to have a future husband with a beard. So, that’s why every time she ate something, she always make sure her plate is clean, because from her culture if she doesn’t, she will end up with a husband with beard.

My heart already crushed before I could take any further step ::)
 


I’ve been looking into tattoo patterns as well! Whee! It’s my dream to have one. However, I want to make it temporary. I’m still undecided, too many kewl patterns.
 


I also had fun with trading my collections, (it’s like trading Magic the Gathering/Pokémon/Yu-Gi-Oh! cards) mostly with older folks. These were what I got through trading. I knew it’s still a long way to go. I need to build trust, name, etc. That’s why I must cut unnecessary expenses though I don’t want to—I learned my lesson from my late Grandpa to have self-control. I admit, that’s a hard part to do.

Especially for the newcomer *deep breath*, there’s a time that some people overlook me, but I’m up to the challenge. Well, what comes easy won’t last long anyway; I need the foundation to build a tough mindset first. Every time that I failed or don’t have result like what I expected, at least this is my own decision. I reminded myself to have patience, patience and patience…
 


I always say this to myself:

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”
 


…then keep avoiding parties. Where people love to ask privacy matters… Glad that I’m keeping the relationship matters just for myself. Psst, it’s only me and you guys who know about this. Glad that they didn’t know my user name :P
 


It’s hard. But, keep trying to stay strong and looking at the bright side. I’m grateful, because of her, I finally can be independent. At least one of my dreams finally granted.
 


The only thing that I wished for, may she’ll be happy with her decision and her life. May the lucky man that she chose will love her just the way she is. I can’t force my ideal when she’s decided to change a heart.
 


That’s her choice. I respect her decision…

Just like what Bella always said:

“Love just happens… It cannot be forced. That’s why love is magical and sometimes bizarre”

And one quote from the kind-hearted lady:

“Love is a funny thing. The feeling is so overpowering, but you know that's what’s so good about it.”

Funny thing when it happened, one random song popped out. It’s Let It Be from The Beatles. I heard this song every times when I go out. It seems like the Author of my life tried to tell me something through the song.

I chose to let it go; I want no trouble, I already got so many pressure from work alone (you know that reality’s different from college’s life), it took me a long time to feel better and finally I chose to move on with my life.
 


I cope myself with learning new skills.

I want to learn how to play Violin, but before I could do that, the requirement that I should accomplish: playing piano at least be familiar with the note before the lesson get started. So, I took lesson in my free time and practices, so later I can sing accompanying by instrument, how cool is that?

I tried to always be grateful for everything. It’s easy for people to say but in reality it’s really hard to do, I know, but we can do it if we wanted to. I admit that I’m not strong to begin with, however there’s a circumstance that we don’t have option left and choose to be strong.
 


Yea, people could be there to support ya, but in the end it’s our call. Intrinsic motivation is always last longer than extrinsic motivation. Well, even Shakespeare when reach his success not comes in a blink of eye. Even instant noodles’ have to be cooked before we could eat ‘em.
 


Other than that my activities are reading books, practice and implemented what’s written in those books that I read and of course! My favorite pastime is lurking around in this forum, reading stories that always make me smile.

I remember what my upperclassman told me:

“Community is like a charger for our life, so find a positive one.”

I’m thankful that I can found this place. It’s like having another home and families :)

Next is the last chapter of Life Sounds Like, it will be a closure for Generation 1 storyline and there’s an epilogue. I also provide one Special before I can focus into Immortal Dynasty or other Challenges that I want to try out :)
 


No worries, I’m alright. I’ve been through something worse than this. I already made schedule when I can online and be myself while not bothering other activities.

I reckon one song from Queen: The Show Must Go On. I couldn’t abandon this story to graveyard just like that because real life circumstance; at least I must finish what I started.

Thanks again for reading this far (for readers and silent-readers). Your supports really mean a lot for me to keep move on. I couldn’t be here this far and complete my first story ever (that shared with everyone), thanks to you. I think this is such a feat for me, as my initial purpose was learning not for writing! :P

Special thanks to Ginj, Playalot, _Annika_, Ferretmania, Indira, TobeyR, Tipi, KTK10 and imayu94 who took your time and leave comment in this thread. Very appreciated!

C'est bon c'est décidé je pars faire ma vie au soleil / It's settled, I'm going to make my life in the sunshine ;)

I wish that you will have wonderful days!

Happy reading, folks!
Regards,
Ari
