【登山初心者必見！】日本百名山伊吹山登山ルート登り方解説前編03 登山口又は道の詳細続きまして日本百名山の伊吹山登山ルートについて登り方を解説していきます。一言で言うと、いやー長い！てな感じです。1合目がかなり長く感じました。登山の技術と言うより、体力ですね。あと途中休む場所スペースが無い、だから区切りがつきにくいですね。なのでがっつり登山道でもしんどい時は休んだ方が良いです。んで1合目以外は日陰はほぼほぼ無いです。だから気を付けて下さい。夏などは結構苦しいかもです。モンベル等の軽い傘などが有効かもしれません。正直傘なんてほしいと思わなかったですが伊吹山だけはめっちゃ欲しかったです。しっかり暑さ対策して下さい。【登山初心者必見！】日本百名山伊吹山登山ルート登り方解説前編03 登山口又は道の詳細 https://youtu.be/yB2IodGh6dM [Must-see for beginners! ] 100 Famous Mountains of Japan Ibukiyama Climbing Route Explanation How to Climb Part 03 Details of Climbing Exit or Road Next, I will explain how to climb Mt.

There is no space to rest on the way, so it's hard to make a break. Therefore, it is better to take a rest when it is difficult even on a solid mountain trail. There is almost no shade except for the 1st station. So be careful. It may be quite difficult in summer. A light umbrella such as Montbell may be effective.

YoI Fanfic Recs

Okay so I just wanna share some love and show y’all some amazing fanfics that I have personally read and absolutely adored!! You’ll likely see repeated authors, either cuz I follow them on tumblr or cuz I’ll raid their uploads once I find one I really like. Also apparently I read a lot of A/B/O so if that isn’t your thing sorry hhhhhh

No particular order for these, just going down my bookmarks and history lists on ao3

Glitter & Gold by plisetskytrash and victurius (I just caught up with this one and oh my god I love it.) Summary - In a world where drugs, sex, and violence rule, Viktor Nikiforov is the king. As the Pakhan of the Russian Mafia (the Bratva) he is responsible for murder and mayhem across multiple continents and that’s just the way he likes it. The only problem is that a new leader has risen to power in America – known only as ‘JJ’ – and he starts to intrude on Viktor’s territory.Not only is that rude, it’s damn right unacceptable.So, Viktor sets out to find out as much about JJ as he can, including infiltrating the businesses he owns, such as The Kiss and Cry, a sleazy club that works as a front for an exclusive exotic omega strip club that only the richest and most powerful men can access. Naturally, Viktor has no trouble getting inside. Once he’s there, however, his plans are thrown out of the window when he spots a beautiful, young Japanese omega with chocolate-brown eyes and an ass to die for. There’s only one problem: Viktor swore he’d never mate an omega.Will Viktor manage to stay focused on his mission? Or will this omega break Viktor’s most important rule?

Eros and Agape by ImaTastyPorkCutletBowl and Spunky0ne (you’ll see a couple works from these guys in this list because they are *chef’s kiss* amazing) Summary - For as long as Victor can remember, Yakov and Lilia have protected him from being discovered to be an Omega by helping him to project as an Alpha. But at the Grand Prix Final banquet, he comes face to face with the man destined to be his husband.

NEXT LEVEL: Nights After Dreams by RipVanGabriel (this is a LONG one, I haven’t even gotten very far in it, but trust me it’s worth it) Summary - The silver medal was hard fought and won, but now the stakes are higher than ever. Five gold medals loom on the horizon, but more importantly, the "life and love" within the gold rings. Yuri and Viktor's relationship grows as they get back on the competition road, and new complications rise with them. (Proper follow-up to the TV series; not AU, no crack ships, no weird shit.)

Wait! But, I’m not Yakuza! by ImaTastyPorkCutletBowl, SesshomaruFreak, and Spunky0ne (like I said, these guys, *chef’s kiss* I refuse to admit how many times I’ve reread the 2 chapters that are currently posted. I’m also the only person commenting on it last i checked which is a fucking shame, so y’all go comment on this amazing fic pls) Summary - The Katsuki family, except for the Hasetsu Katsukis, are the largest and most powerful Yakuza family in Japan, so it’s not surprising that poor Yuuri keeps getting mistaken for one of his distant relatives. On a trip to Russia with his father, Yuuri stumbles into a bar to avoid a group of rough looking punks, and he comes face to face with a beautiful, silver-haired exotic dancer. Things get crazy when Yuuri sees the lovely dancer being abused and steps in, only to get himself beaten into unconsciousness. He wakes in his hotel room and finds a note next to his bed…”Thank you for your kindness. I’m sorry those ruffians hurt you. It’s better you stay away. I don’t want anything else bad to happen to you. Vitya” He should go home. He should just forget the man, but Yuuri can’t help himself…Victuuri, intersex Victor, intersex pregnancy, lots of flustered Yuuri!

Love’s Requiem by Kashoku (gonna be honest, I don’t even ship Yuuri/Yuri, but I enjoy this fic) Summary - If you had asked Yuuri in Barcelona if there was anything that could ever bring him down from the high of being with Viktor Nikiforov, he would have laughed. But when the living legend suffers a career ending injury, it brings new struggles to their relationship. Viktor begins to drown his sorrows, and Yuuri finds himself being pulled beneath the surface in a way he’s not sure he can survive.

you’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be by roserelease (this shit right here is my fucking bread and butter y’all. I can’t even express how much happiness and love this fic gives me) Summary - More than anything, Yuuri wants to impress his cosplay role model Viktor Nikiforov. But after a horrible start to a convention weekend, he panics and backs out at the last second to meet his idol. Normally this would be fine, except Yuuri discovers too late that there's a little Viktor related secret inside the con vlog his best friend filmed over the course of the weekend for him...It's fine, he thinks. Embarrassing, but not the end of the world. And it's not like Viktor himself will ever see the con vlog, so why worry?(Except then Viktor does.)

Paying For Poison by SaerenDPity (another one of my absolute faves that sadly only updates once every other blue moon but when it does update I feel overwhelmingly Blessed) Summary - "Skater Katsuki?" Yuuri's eyes widened as he nodded, and suddenly Viktor Nikiforov was clutching at his coat. He barely registered that his childhood hero knew his name, he couldn't think on that when Viktor's voice was on the edge of breaking. Desperation lined his every movement."Yes th-that's me. Um… Mr. Nikiforov… Do… do you need help?"Viktor shook his head violently and shoved his hand into Yuuri's pocket. Yuuri only had time to squeak before Viktor was backing away, breathing heavily. "Please… please buy me."…Years after Viktor Nikiforov suddenly disappeared from the public eye, he resurfaces at the Rostelecom Cup, desperate for help. And Yuuri simply cannot abandon the man who inspired almost every aspect of his life, and so, he makes the decision to do just as Viktor asks - buy his services as an omega for one night.

Drowning In Your Love by MysticLipstick (another rarely updated fic that I’m head over heels for. please feed me, I need MORE) Summary - Victor Nikiforov has always gotten away with being a whore in college. Being the top athlete swimmer has gained him tons of attention, championships and girls. However, a cosmic encounter with Yuuri Katsuki has him questioning everything—including his sexuality. Yuuri’s shy nature and blatant disregard for Victor’s fame has Victor chasing him—something he’s never done, but Yuuri shuts him down. Completely.

November’s Secret by LanaBerry (I’ve reread this one about 5 times already tbh) Summary - Overwhelmed with anxiety and his fear of failing, Yuuri faces the issue of if he should continue skating. His best friend, Yuko, proposes a solution - if no one knows it's you, then it's less embarrassing, right? Yuuri begins to create a completely new disguise and persona.But it works a little too well.Before he knows it, Yuuri has become the biggest mystery of the skating world and everyone wants to know who he is. Especially Viktor Nikiforov, the idol he's been loosely basing his new persona on for years.

The ‘Until My Feet Bleed and My Heart Aches’ series by Reiya (recently finished rereading this one, always so fucking good) Summary - ‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’ A single event changes the course of Yuuri’s life, throwing him into a bitter rivalry with Viktor Nikiforov that spans across his entire skating career. But as the years go on, rivalry and hatred begin to develop into something very different and Yuuri doesn’t seem to be able to stay away, no matter how hard he tries.Hatred and love are two sides of the same coin and even though everything changes, some things are still meant to be.

With What We Once Had by MagicalMirai (this one is just too cute tbh) Summary - They called it quits, over a year and a half ago. But even though he should have been expecting it, Yuuri can’t help but feel suffocated when he bumps into Victor at the Grand Prix final, whilst holding his son. The son... he never told Victor about.

Nerve Endings by Phyona (this one is next on the “to reread” list) Summary - When Yuuri moves in with Victor in St. Petersburg, they have to work through Yuuri's anxiety and Victor's secrets to find their balance.

Puppy Love by Phyona (another phyona fic and it’s just way too fucking cute tbh) Summary - When Yuuri gets turned into a dog, the last place he expects to end up is Victor Nikiforov's apartment. He learns quickly that the only thing worse than being his idol's pet, is watching him pine for someone else.Warning: Makkachin has recently passed away at the start of this story.

The Stars on his Cheeks by QueenWinterofLuna (this one was actually written for a prompt I personally requested and I absolutely adore it, even still) Summary - A short drabble based on this Tumblr request from @napsushi: Can you write a fic where Yuuri discovers Victor has freckles and is just over the moon about it? This fandom needs more freckled Vitya.

This is all I can find and think of for now but if I remember more I’ll be sure to update it!!

“The road to our forever” - Chapter 3

Summary: John and Darcie are planning their wedding, but it comes with certain ups and downs.

John Wick x OFC Darcie

Word count: 2k

Warnings: None

Masterlist // Previous chapter // Next chapter

It’s weird to have a day off, since Darcie is such a workaholic. The two of them are strolling through New York City, with Oreo and Tiki trotting in front of them. They have to kill some time, before they can check out the house. John already told her about the beautiful place he visited, but wanted to keep it all a surprise, saying that it would be nicer if it were a surprise.

Though that is true, he just wants to make sure she gives the place a chance and if she knows what it costs or she even sees it on the site, she’ll say no right away.

John holds Darcie’s hand firmly in his, almost like he’s afraid he’ll lose her. It’s a plausible fear, since it’s pretty crowded and Darcie isn’t the tallest.

It’s always nice to spend time with Darcie. Though they spend every day together, John never gets tired of her.

Hence the reason why he can’t wait to marry her.

They walk through Central Park and plop on a bench. It’s cold outside and Darcie’s nose is as red as Rudolph’s, but she looks cute. She always does. Tiki takes places on John’s lap and he smiles when he sees Oreo snuggled against Darcie. That dog really loves her, always smiling at her, licking her hand and attached to her like velcro.

‘John,’ Darcie says, gaining his attention, ‘do you think we’re boring?’

He frowns. ‘Why are you asking that?’

‘Because I was watching some vlogs on YouTube and saw these couples do all these fantastic and adventurous things together. Now I know that you should never compare yourself to them, because it’s fake anyways, but I realized that we barely do anything. Mainly because I’m always working. I mean, you have all the time in the world. And money for that matter.’

John wraps his arm tightly around her petite frame, his embrace already so much warmer than she initially is. ‘I don’t think we are boring. We have fun in our own way. I don’t really need to go out and do a lot of things with you. But if you want to do more things outside of the house, meaning you need to work a little less, you don’t hear me complaining.’

She rolls her eyes, before she starts chuckling. ‘So, you don’t think we are boring?’

‘No, sweetheart. I think we are the opposite of boring. Maybe not as adventurous as other couples might be, but we are certainly not boring.’ John leans over to give her a long kiss on her lips, before pressing his forehead against hers. Their noses bump against each other, causing John to note: ‘Your nose is cold.’

‘I am freezing.’

Before he can say anything to that, they hear a: ‘John, how are you, man?’

They both look up and John recognizes him immediately. ‘Aurelio,’ he says, holding out his hand. ‘This is my fiancée Darcie. Darcie, this is Aurelio. He owns a chop shop and we used to work together.’

‘Nice to meet you, Aurelio,’ she says with a bright smile, holding out her hand.

‘It’s lovely to meet you, Darcie.’ He shakes her hand. ‘I think congratulations are in order. Last time I spoke to John, you were his girlfriend.’

‘When did you speak to John?’

Aurelio looks at John, before he says: ‘When you were taken by that psycho.’

John never told her about how he took preparations, but that was mainly because she never asked. He always has issues with opening up about those types of things and when she doesn’t ask, he can’t open up about that.

Darcie seems unfazed as she nods.

Aurelio pats Oreo’s head. ‘Just saw you two sitting here,’ Aurelio continues. ‘Figured I asked how you were doing.’

‘Thanks, man,’ John says.

‘By the way, Darcie, I heard you did an interview with a magazine. Pretty big deal, was it not?’

Darcie nods, her eyes beginning to shine bright. ‘Yes, I did an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. It already caused a ton of people coming by, really amazing. Didn’t peck you for a guy who reads that kind of magazine, though.’

Aurelio can’t help but laugh. ‘No, I heard about it. You own a pretty successful cafe, right?’

‘Mhm, you should stop by. Tomorrow I’m working again. John is there a lot too, maybe you two can catch up a little.’

He nods. ‘Sounds like a plan. I can come by at ten.’

‘Ten is perfect,’ Darcie says with a smile that just keeps getting brighter and brighter.

Aurelio takes off, patting the dogs on their heads and Darcie looks to the side. ‘Are you mad at me?’ she asks.

‘Why do you ask?’

‘Because I invited him over.’ She warms her hands a bit, but it seems more like a nervous thing. ‘I just did it, figured it might be nice for you to catch up with him. I didn’t even consider that you might not want that, since he was part of your older life. I should’ve let you decide. I’m sorry’

John shakes his head. ‘No, sweetheart. I think it’s great that you invited him over. Aurelio and I used to get along pretty good.’ He really doesn’t want to talk to her about his past, but with the way she’s looking at him right now, he can’t help but tell her. She deserves to know. ‘When I got out out the first time and Helen had died, he helped me out a bit. I’ll tell you the details about that later, okay?’ He looks a little bit around him, seeing the crowds forming around them.

She nods. ‘I understand.’

‘When you went missing, I wanted to go to my house in Mill Neck, where I had my own stuff, but I didn’t have time to lose, so I went to him.’

‘He sounds like a friend,’ she says.

‘I don’t consider us friends, really.’

‘I do.’ Darcie places her hand on his leg and says: ‘He helped you out twice, he sees you here, comes over to say hi and wants to spend time with you in my cafe. Acquaintances don’t do that, John. Friends do.’

⟢⟡⟣

‘You are fucking kidding me, I hope?’ Darcie asks, when she got out of the car, holding Tiki close to her chest, since the poor thing is really cold. ‘This is the house you wanted to check out?’

‘It is, sweetheart,’ John says, placing his arm around her shoulder, holding Oreo’s leash in his hand. ‘Don’t you think it looks beautiful already?’

‘It looks big,’ she says. ‘And unaffordable.’

John can’t respond to that, since the door opens and the friendly realtor Harry walks outside. ‘Mister Wick!’ he says in an ecstatic voice. ‘You made it.’

‘Hi, Harry,’ John says, ‘this is my fiancée Darcie. Darcie, this is the realtor Harry.’

‘Future Mrs. Wick,’ Harry says, shaking her hand, ‘mister Wick already told me you were going to love this place.’

She looks up to John. ‘Did he now?’ she asks, cocking an eyebrow.

‘Oh, you have such sweet dogs,’ Harry says, glancing at Oreo. ‘Mister Wick told me about your wishes for kids. Well, you are going to love this place then. Very kid friendly. Follow me.’ He walks inside and Darcie clears her throat.

‘What more did you share?’ she asks.

‘Not much,’ he laughs, pressing a kiss on her temple. ‘You heard the man, follow him.’

Darcie nearly dislocates her jaw while she walks through the house. John thinks that she doesn’t even hear what Harry has to say. She stares at the indoor pool, the large kitchen and when they arrive at the roof terrace, she is still speechless.

‘Future Mrs. Wick has been very quiet,’ Harry says, while Darcie is looking at the windows in the master bedroom, one that John plans for them to have, because of the balcony.

‘She is just thinking,’ John whispers back, but to be fair, he doesn’t really know what is going on inside her head. Darcie has a frown between her furrowed brows, but he can’t quite categorize it. He doesn’t know what her frown means and not being able to read his fiancée’s facial expressions… That has never happened before and John doesn’t know if that is a good sign of a very bad sign.

‘Harry, could you leave us alone for a minute?’ John asks and Harry walks out of the room within a few seconds. ‘Okay, sweetheart, tell me what you think.’

‘How much is this place?’ Darcie asks him. ‘And be honest with me.’

Is she mad? Maybe it wasn’t a good idea for them to check out this place when she’s on her period. This morning she snapped at him for eating a little too loud.

‘It’s forty.’

‘Forty what?’

‘Million.’

‘For fuck’s sake, John,’ she exclaims. ‘I don’t have that kind of money.’

‘But I do,’ John simply states. ‘Sweetheart, you never have to worry about money ever again.’

‘You keep saying that,’ Darcie says. ‘You say that every time I want to tell you that my engagement ring was too much. You say that when you tell me that I can have the wedding of my dreams, because you’re going to pay for it. You say that about my still to buy wedding dress, our honeymoon to Japan and I already know you are planning something extravagant for that trip. You want to pay for the tickets for my family to fly over from South Korea and you are already checking the best and the most expensive hotels around here.’

‘So?’

She sighs deeply. ‘John, you worked for that money and to just spend it on this townhouse for forty million dollar…’

‘It’s not that I’m broke after buying this place, sweetheart,’ he tries to reassure her.

‘There must be houses that are less expensive and just as beautiful.’

‘Aha, so you like this place?’

Darcie rolls her eyes, before a small smile appears on her face. ‘I mean, yeah… It’s beautiful and I can totally see us living here with our kids, but I can’t live like this, knowing that you payed for this.’

‘Darcie, my money is yours to spend. I have too much of it, really. Spending it on you and with you, is the greatest investment for me. One day, in the far far future, when I die, I leave all that money to you and our kids and when you die, the kids get the remaining money.’ John shrugs like it’s nothing.

‘But what if we get divorced before you die?’ Darcie asks. ‘Don’t you think we should sign at least a prenup? Just in case.’

‘We’re not divorcing, Darcie. I’m not going to let you go and if we somehow do get divorced, I don’t mind that you get half of it.’

She nearly pulls out her hairs. ‘John, this is a lot.’

He shrugs. ‘Barely.’

‘For me it’s a lot,’ she adds. ‘But this place… It’s so beautiful. I just want you to think about this really well, because this is a huge amount of money.’

‘I can pay for it,’ John says. ‘Don’t you worry about it.’

Darcie sighs deeply. She frowns again, looking around her. John’s heart starts to race. What if she doesn’t like it? What if she says no? Will there be an even more perfect house for them on the market?

‘It’s close to your work,’ John says, hoping he can persuade her. ‘We can park our car in front of the door, always. It’s close to schools, I’ve already been checking those out. It’s close to tons of things to do with kids. I mean, it’s very close to Central Park.’

Darcie walks up to him and wraps her arms around his shoulders. She brings her lips to his ear and whispers: ‘When can we move in?’

In Another World: Japan 2019

Maybe to love is to learn – and learning Japan for quite some time is just beautiful with all its chaotic yet fulfilling desire at heart.

December is the season for family and friends and having to spend it another country again is different – a very memorable one. It is such a good grace of embracing new culture from a 5 hour trip away from home – living a temporary life, what it’s like to live in a world where everything seemed to be provided. The place itself is an art, where you can experience the calmness of the streets although I had to enjoy the freezing weather in which I was forced to wear almost four layers of clothing, including multiple heat packs to keep us going along the way. Nevertheless, Japan has its own way of welcoming you to the best possible ways it could offer, making exceptional memories of more than a dream.

Japan is in the top of my bucket list yet the very least to make it happen when I was younger. Given that it’s expensive, it requires you to apply for visa in which chosen people are only given the opportunity to process it. Maybe timing wasn’t for us then hence watching anime films was an alternative way to feel it. Japanese characters itself with perfectly triangular shaped faces used to be my hidden desire, like there’s something mystical about their personalities. And maybe timing could be right too. It could be right when the High Power allows you – specifically when you’re ready.

I have no idea what to hate in a place where it appears to be perfect. Utopia, as what they say. I went with a group of twenty people with various ages and personalities so there were two things that needed to be considered in this trip; to conform and to be patient. I have watched some documentaries, travel vlogs, and even movies like Hachiko to prepare myself with an expectant heart.

From there, I know Japan would lead us to wander and be lost.

Upon arriving in Japan, our group was picked up by huge sized black colored van including drivers who were definitely dressed well with their coat and tuxedo. We were late. And there is something wrong with that. It’s a bad Impression for Japanese people to be late since time is valuable – unless you have reasonable excuses. The tension was starting to fire up so I decided to apologise. The family did too. During the one-hour travel from Narita Airport to the first place where we stayed, I was mesmerized. The overwhelming emotions from visual presentations turned into reality. Maybe this is love, like seeing a person for the first time letting your head turn into 360.

Fallen leaves, chirping crows, and whistling of the winds. So this is winter – I have never felt this in my life. It surprised me as I was enjoying the giant automatic buildings. We toured several of Tokyo’s places, all of which had their own unique culture.

I experienced the towering skyscrapers and offices of Shinjuku and the shopping and pop culture of Harajuku. I learned how diverse Tokyo was: three blocks from the Tokyo Skytree, an observation tower that symbolizes Japan’s cutting-edge technology; Asakusa, an ancient Buddhist shrine where people prayed under enormous red lanterns and burnt incense for their ancestors. I noticed that this dramatic juxtaposition between the old and the new is what most characterized Japan: pop culture and technology contrasted yet blended with traditional customs and culture. While polar opposites of each other, these two aspects of Japan coexisted in perfect harmony. I believe that harmony sends an important message: you do not need to disregard the old in order to embrace the new. It is possible to honor and accept both.

And the bikes were electronic. I grew up learning how to ride a bike but never got the chance to do it in Japan. Maybe if I was just a solo traveler, I could use it to explore the clean roads.

Every train is a safe space.

With Haruki Murakami’s novel Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, fragments of imagination have conveyed my emotions to become a fan of train stations. I have seen some parts of myself through Tsukuru, how darkness made him feel as an empty person, lacking in color and identity. He was real to me. From millions of people that passed through me, he could’ve been there. That’s when I started to love the train stations even more.

They are always on time– and of course, a delay of even just one minute will result in profuse apologies from the conductor. Train stations are always staffed with employees who are ready to answer your questions and do so very well. Though we weren’t able to ride city buses, I believe they’re also great though I wasn’t sure if we can pay their fares with the same card we used to ride the train.

I have seen people coming in and out of the trains, like every person has its own story of why they needed to ride the train. On Tuesday, I remember some old man trying to stop his son from crying. On Friday night, I smelled ginger flavored beer from Japanese employees who just got off from work from Shibuya station. I liked the smell, it didn’t make me feel that I was in danger. Probably weekends are for Filipinos, like Saturday, who came all the way from Grandberry mall outlet to purchase almost half price of some original brands that are dying for.

It is just solely convenient. There were convenience stores that are open 24 hours a day and you can simply find one just about anywhere. We found some food, basic toiletry items and magazines. Another thing that’s a go-to in Japan is the vending machines. Vending machines are even more common than convenience stores, and you can find one by just walking a block or two. Most of them just sell drinks like water, coffee, tea, juice and soda. They’re usually quite cheap (100 yen at the cheapest), and you can get them hot in the winter or cold in the summer.

I personally bought drinks from vending machines almost all the time and they were worth it. And the food, oh the food. Japanese don’t have the highest life expectancy in the world for no reason. Never in my life have I tasted the best apple pie in the world until Japan let me. From its first bite down to last, it was beyond my ultimatum. No words could express it.

Even so with Ramen after a whole exhausting day, the warm soup with its perfect texture of noodles satisfied us. I believe that every food regardless if it’s in the streets or in a luxurious restaurant was served with love. They would want to make you feel like you deserve to be well treated with a quality of food that they could offer you.

Some things in life are too complicated to explain in any language but in Japan, it has brought me to both --- tranquility and complexity. The demeanor of place demanded me to breathe. It gave me the power of wanting to be alone, looking back to nostalgic feelings that I felt and decisions I have made in my life.

Until another Utopian world took me to the fun and excitement part --- Tokyo’s Disneysea, the most brilliant story world’s ever created: a living ode to Walt Disney’s love for storytelling, world-building, and lovable characters. You see, Disney isn’t just made of Story Worlds – it’s also a story world in itself, and its star is Mickey remains the most iconic character ever drawn. Mickey belongs exclusively to the world of Disney; his presence invokes the idea that all of these smaller story worlds are part of something bigger, something uniquely magical. Mickey Mouse is the linchpin to the whole operation. He’s the reminder that Disneyland is more than the sum of its parts – it’s an experience unto itself.

Ultimately, the story of Disney sea is the story of my visit. My presence with my family defines the day; we get to pick rides and shows. Disney Park will always be an “open world,” where you explore, collect things, and meet characters in whatever sequence you choose.

Until sooner I realized we have one more day left to pack things and luggage. Items that were bought in Japan were already sort out, from gadgets to food, fridge magnets and even branded shoes. My mom had to buy another big trolley to maximize all the stuff so we could all bring home the goodies.

Just before the plane took off from Narita airport, I met an amazing couple from Japan. The lady’s Filipina, Marissa Suzuki, who’s married to a Japanese and been living in Japan for 30 years. The old man, Mr. Nori Suzuki, was 20 years older than her, had 2 children who were left at home. I was sitting from the window seat trying to calm myself from my episodic anxiety. The first thing she asked me was if there’s any book to read while waiting. I told her that there were just couple of magazines but probably wouldn’t satisfy her husband. It was a budget airline. She was hardly putting her bags on the bin until her husband helped her. And then she sat beside me. They smiled at me like they wanted to know me.

The two hour conversation started.

I felt the joy from their eyes, especially from the Japanese old man as they kept asking my whereabouts. They insisted on buying coffee and oatmeal cookies for me. I wanted to be polite so I smirked. Of course I was very hungry and didn’t eat some breakfast. They even offered wasabi nuts and matcha flavored round shaped sticky bread. I had to appreciate it although I didn’t really like the taste too much.

For once in my life, I tried staring to someone while sharing personal stories. I felt bittersweet from her expressions, how she left our country when her older sister brought her to Japan. It was like she didn’t have choice. She was only 17 back then when she faced the reality. I know she wanted to make me feel what she has been through. I could see through her eyes how she learned to love her husband from the first few years of their relationship. The difference of the culture and language didn’t really matter to her, instead, she was challenged by it. Mr. Suzuki was quite a storyteller, I was pretty convinced that he loves the Philippines with its warm people and weather. I love his words of wisdom; to treat people equally because we all deserve it; to value time because we all work for it; to give as much as you can because there’s no better feeling than to serve.

Funny how they wanted me to date a Japanese guy, or at least I should’ve met someone in a span of week. I could always go back, but will be definitely choosing a different weather. I admit I didn’t really have good sleep from the entire trip but maybe travels are for people who seek for adventure and stories.

From what I have learned in this trip, through its any lifestyle, people have survived. And we will always be. And those who survive have a duty. Our duty is to do our best to keep on living. Even if our lives are not perfect.

With all my sincerity and respect, in another life, will always go back to you, Japan.

Entry #328 April 28, 2019 3:46 pm

Dear SoulEater,

You know what happened. Because all You did was watch. I dont know when, I dont know how, but after walking that dark road, I came out black as well..and I lost faith in You. Regardless, Im still here, talking and sharing what has happened. That is the least respect that I can give You.

So Im just going to share about what happened on my Manila trip. I went to Manila last April 24 just to get away from my loneliness and have a change of environment. Me and Scott planned on watching the Avengers: Endgame like how we watch films like a boss at SM Aura. I started vlogging this one as well coz I havent had a single vlog entry for 2019 and its high time I do one. So we met up, talked about a lot of things, caught up with some stuff and watched Endgame.

The next day, I met up with a good friend of my from Twitch, CrystalFries. We ate sushi, rode MRT to Trinoma from SM Megamall to buy something, got dragged into another mess that Im fixing right now and had milktea. It was fun and we really had a great time.

Third day, me and Joyce got to talk deep about what is happening with our lives. And I think it was one of the few moments where I opened myself up and became vulnerable. And I was thinking maybe it was a good move to go to Manila coz I really needed that conversation. We ate at Romantic baboy and invited Scott over and we ate lots of meat. Afterwards, we went home at our house with Scott and just hung out while I watch Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.

Today, I arrived at Vinzons. I was supposed to stay there like 2 more days but the HR of my new work called us in for Orientation on Monday that is why I had an emergency travel back home.

I know I have a lot of problems. Im a guy who loves making excuses, who overthinks a lot and complicate things. Im doing something about it, I really am. But the things Im going thru are essential. Going to a new work like Im a new born baby is scaring me like a lot. Im really scared. But I need to do it, I have to face my fears and demons. This is that time that I am now working for something that I want for myself. And that Manila trip was somewhat my clarity. Im scared because maybe Im not good enough, Im not confident with my skills, Ill be exposed to a lot of toxicity. But thinking the bright side of it, Ill meet new people, Ill be able to make my heart strong and tough, and it will be my gateway to my japan dream, and if not, other countries would be waiting.

Ive been saying this, Soul. All You did was watch. All that has ever happened to me was because of me, my success and failures, they were all me. You dont deserve the blame, as much as You dont deserve the credit for my achievements. I stopped depending on You because I dont want to be a weakling anymore. But if You really are there for me, then do understand that I dont need to have faith in You, I need You to have faith in me that I can do anything.

So watch me, like You always do.

Jim.

P.S.

Toughening this heart is hard. But Ill get there. In this cruel world, having compassion will always make you the loser.

10/16/21 - Chapter 16 is Out!

Hello again everyone!

Chapter 16 should be readable on Mangadex right about now. Please let me know what you think. Also, as you may have noticed in the Credits page for this chapter, I’m starting to put just tangential information about the chapter too. In the same spirit that Mangaka Nodoka Shinomaru seems to be expressing her love for Kagawa by incorporating real-life cultures/tradition and locations, I am trying to include side-information I find interesting while making my scanlation (translating and whatnot). Please let me know if it’s annoying/superfluous or not.(It’ll be self-contained in the Credits page so, if you ignore that part anyway, you won’t notice a thing.)

Speaking of, I mentioned in the Credits Page for this chapter about an Interesting Vlog Youtube Video (in English) where two fellows on a road-trip around Japan as they visit Ikkaku in Merugame (Kagawa) and order both the old and young the chicken there (It’s not necessarily the same location but interesting nonetheless if you’re curious/want to know more. There’s a lot of unecessary build-up in the video before they talk about their experience in the restaurant but that’s just how it goes sometimes with vlogs, you know?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo7y92URp1Q

That’s it for this entry, I think. Thank you again for your continued support and for reading this manga along with me. Let me know if I’m doing anything wrong or if there’s any way I can do better. Anyway, I feel like we’re getting closer to where the manga really diverges from the anime; I can’t wait to reach that point. -agnyS (Thank you all again for the kind messages. By the way, every time you guys send me a message like “I loved the anime and now I can’t wait to read the manga,” please know that I feel the EXACT same way. I am very happy to be translating the manga so, please, let me know of any way that I could improve the quality of my scanlation. It’s like a “help me help everyone”-type situation.)

Chapter 1: Smite Evil and Other Murder Methods (#17b)

“Arthur. Is that study hall yours?”

“Gee, what gave it away?”

I glance between his hand and the hand printed on the door. I should have figured this out sooner.

“Guess I just didn’t know what kind of stuff a Super High School Level Hitchhiker works with.”

“No problem there! Most people think it’s nothin’ but standin’ at the side of the road tryin’ not to get in a car with a serial killer.”

“Well, it’s that, too.”

We hang around his study hall discussing the finer points of being a “professional” hitchhiker. There’s more hiking-hiking involved than I expected, at least the way he does it. Not for the weak of heart.

Not that the weak of heart would want to be locked up in cars with strangers.

“What was it that got Apex Academy interested in you? Some kind of hitchhiking competition? Sheer distance traveled?”

“Hitchhikin’ competition?! Aw man, I haven’t tried any of those.”

“What do you even do, all pile into the same car and see who gets there first?”

“Kahahahaha!”

“Probably not how it goes.”

But it sounded like they do exist. Must be interesting.

“But seriously, I’m pretty sure it’s about my blog.”

“Uh, vlog? It’s a little of both.”

“Makes sense. I don’t frequent them, but blogs can be a big deal.”

“Yeah, mate. Got enough sponsors there that I don’t have to plaster any adverts on my pack. I can get some real nice hotels when I’m goin’ off the path, too.”

“Or would that be on the path?”

“Couldn’t say.”

“But yeah, a good laptop and a nice video camera’re all I need. I do a lot of stuff about my travels, hitchhikin’ tips, personal advice...”

“...shout-outs to all the cute girls I keep runnin’ into...”

“Is that so.”

“Yeah! It’s a pretty big deal. I’ve been on talk shows and everythin’.”

“I even have some official translators on the site! For the languages I don’t speak, at least.”

“Oh? I guess you can speak a lot of them?”

“Depends on what kind of criteria you’re usin’, but...”

“If we’re just sayin’ conversational in ‘em, then... eleven.”

“I know the vital stuff in every language I’ve heard of, though.”

“Eleven? I can barely manage two.”

“Ha! Nothin’ to be worried about. Some people just got more of a knack for it.”

“And then the whole immersion thing. Have you been outside Japan much?”

“Not at all, actually.”

“Whoa, seriously?!”

“You should totally come with me on my next hike! I was thinkin’ of headin’ back to Switzerland. We could definitely get a couple of languages in there if you wanna check that out.”

To be honest, I’m not sure I’d want to go on a trip with Arthur—I think he’s going to wear enough on me here. But it doesn’t sound like the worst possible idea, either.

“Sounds cool.”

“Ha! ‘Cool’! ‘Cause of the Alps, I get it!”

Crap, I made a pun. “I’ll keep it in mind.”

He might be a little wacky, but he’s not a bad guy. Maybe he’ll settle down once we’ve been in here a while.

Turning 25: The best 10 things I did

1. I have a better perspective towards positivity in life. Bad days and negativity surround us everywhere we go, whether channeled at the work place or random passerbys. I realize that in the end, these things or people cannot take the best out of you. I’ve learned to ignore the life nuisances and to improve the situation, focus how to make the scenario work out for myself. This is still work in progress.

2. I moved away from home after living 18 years in the apartment. It was a temptation and a risk to leave the place that provided me with security and comfort growing up. I wanted to see how it was like to live away hundreds of miles from home and away from parents at the time. The thought seemed exhilarating as it was an exciting moment to think that it could open up my shell into a whole new world. I learned to be independent and when I needed support, it was a phone call away. Some parts of college I was not so proud of but I realize that even in college, my family will always be there missing me.

3. Being through a couple of relationships in and out in life, I am lucky to have met someone who I truly care for at this current moment. We’ve reached over 2 years together and there are many things I have picked up being in the relationship with him. He has taught me to be patient, to be responsible for my actions, and to not be selfish. There are many ups and downs and I will stand by, he had made me realize that I have to love myself before loving others. I moved into an apartment with my SO. Many responsibilities to share and I picked up that sharing a space with someone is super different than living by yourself. We learned each others quirks and our daily lives. It’s nice to have someone to come home to.

4. Traveling outside the country. Period. We took a cruise to Bermuda and had the best time of my life besides the seasickness part. We also traveled to Japan, the place I fantasized of eating all of their delicious foods being a secret food myself. I’ve always wanted to travel and it was clearly a mental break from all the stress in life.

5. I found my coping mechanism: music. Music that matches my current mood, gives me time to think about the moment and reflect. It picks me up in the dark moments. Tunes just helps in general.

6. I took a risk and landed a job as a consultant where my employer at the time offered training and then a client company in Virginia accepted me for a position. This was totally unexpected but it was a decision that I do not regret. Like they say, the offered opportunity has put me in a decent financial company and allowed me to have a stable income for a 25 year old. Heard my boss is giving me a bonus this year, so definitely looking forward to that.

7. Exploring myself with hobbies. I’ve tried basketball, hiphop dancing, knitting, gaming, working out, makeup, skincare, trying new clothes. All I need is to pick something and keep the consistency. I’ve realized and have learned that inconsistency is part of me and that needs to change..! I have always dreamed about vlogging so maybe just soon enough, this dreamed passion will turn into reality.

8. I’ve learned to communicate with a smile.. to be a little bit less of a turtle and more social. It’s hard but sometimes just have to do what you gotta do. I find that a smile makes it easier to open someone up for a conversation.

9. I’ve gotten a car to travel with and became a more confident driver. I’m able to take myself to places. On my radar next is a road trip across the country. I know getting a car isn’t a huge achievement for some as it’s a necessity where I am currently living right now. But it is huge for me and means the world to drive freely without having to rely on public transportation all the time. Growing up, taking the bus to school, or taking the subway to work was never a fun commute for me. I’m just not the type of gal who enjoys being in a packed crowd.

10. Paying off (almost) all my student loans. I came out of university with 32k in debt and about 3 years later, the financial burden can finally be taken off for now and be dragged down into the depths of the ocean forever with an anchor. So long school loans! I have been yearning for the day to see my bank account to have income streaming continuously without it decreasing so much.

IRL jobs headcanons

Noctis:

The son of a rich Japanese businessman, but his mother was a foreigner

introverted because he was bullied in school about having a foreigner parent, barely finished high school and never went to college

but it’s okay because he is actually the world’s highest ranking gamer in Monster Justice Five, the most popular online e-sport tournament

with several official international wins and contracts to his username this boy doesn’t need daddy’s allowance!

nobody has a clear image of what he looks like, he’s always wearing baseball caps and hiding behind his collar if he has to show up to matches, otherwise he’s only found online

met Prompto online and it grows into private chats and late-night gaming sessions

eventually invites him over to visit, dad thinks it’s great that his loner son found someone he wants to hang out with

not very good with words because he constantly switches between Japanese and English and it’s hard to use just one

Prompto:

Russian

you’d assume he’s popular because he’s blonde and cheerful, but actually gets a lot of flak about things he can’t change about his country

the literal embodiment of sunshine and happiness, so naturally he’s a famous viner (who moved to instagram and youtube after vine died)

has no idea how to deal with the haters, always has his comments locked and it creates an air of mystery around him which strangely gets him more views

absolute weeb so you can bet he knows enough japanese (from watching anime obv) to communicate with Noct in the game chat and enough english to patch it up

it quickly developed into actual friendship, these two can spend days playing without realizing it

soon enough he’s vlogging his trip to Japan!

Ignis:

European

That’s all he tells the others, nobody knows where he’s from exactly

Used to be a model in Milan, beautiful enough to catch eyes but not famous enough to make a living out of it

Meets Noctis while filming an advertisement for his father’s company, and settles there as an English-Japanese translator

Ends up going with Noct for all the official signings and interviews as his PR agent

Ignis knows more kanji than Noct, but Noct knows more English expletives

it fascinates him how different languages are, and enjoys the challenge

other times it’s hilarious because that one time he tried to translate a Japanese word and accidentally said something Italian, then corrected it into French, then apologized in Spanish and eventually googled it in English.

Gladio:

Brazillian-Japanese who lived all his life in Brazil

professional rock wall climber on break recovering from an injury, the fall woke him to the reality that he’d never really left his hometown and it’s a shame to kick the bucket without ever stepping out of his comfort zone

he’s currently vlogging his journey backpacking through the world

one day he found himself broke visiting Cor -a family friend- in Japan

had to take odd jobs that wouldn’t get him deported for defying the rules of his tourist visa, so nothing with an official contract

agrees to dress in a suit and pretend to be a bodyguard for some publicity stunt concerning a sassy runt

said sassy runt was actually being stalked for being the heir of a business giant and oh shit he has some real protecting to do!

Brazil has a large Japanese population so verbal and cultural barriers went down real fast with the runt (Noct)

It was nice learning about his non-Brazillian heritage hands on, so he decides to stick around long after the bodyguard job is concluded

the internet seems to like his vlogs about the Japanese countryside and wilderness anyway so might as well let this trip fund itself

One day a rival company proposes a collaboration between brands and Regis accepts, now Noct has to show up in a month-long documentary with the rival’s production team while they come up with ideas for a new line.

Noct is fine with it, the head of the team they’ll be working with used to be a childhood friend of his, Lunafreya, so he agrees to go and take his friends along because road trip!
