Your Husband, Cale-nim

Hi! I've been out for a while. I have been finishing my thesis paper and finally, our group defended it well. Last week it's been a hell week for us because we have taken our preboard examination for our course. Thankfully I have passed my preboard exams and today we have finished our revisions in our thesis paper. Our thesis paper was also chosen to be a finalist in an Engineering competition in Singapore. This year was really hard, after passing my ECT board exam last April the journey ahead was a long way ahead however it was fulfilling to see that my sleepiness nights finally paid off. "Konting kembot na lang graduate na ako." 
          
          After this there will be another 3 months for Electronics Engineering Board Exam at our school, I am grateful that we don't have to pay for those 3 months. Then another review for 6 months at the review center. Hopefully, I can pass the Board Exam in April 2024 and be an Engineer for real. 
          
          Sadly, I can't enjoy reading for a while since I became a graduating student. I wish I could go back to the day when I can read all day long without interruption, but I also wanted to graduate.  For those who are reading this, I hope all of you will have an exciting and safe journey on your way. Have a good day.

I just recently finished a short danmei novel entitled, "After I Block My Crush." It was very cute and refreshing. Both the MC and ML are the people you want to protect. Especially the MC, who was bullied at his HS because they have discovered him. Hopefully, I can read more novels after this HELL month. Finishing thesis, finals, requirements,  pre-boards, and any graduating students should face. 

Thanks for the follow! ❣️

          Chapter 42, "Why Fall in Love if You Can Attend Tsinghua University"
          
          I was particularly hard-hit by this passage. My parents think that I have a boyfriend, which I vehemently deny since junior high school. My school activities were then restricted after that. I should get home at 5:15 if my class ends at 5:00. Group projects and other school-related activities that must be completed outside of class are what I detest the most about education. I was really concerned because I'm not allowed to take part in any of those. I haven't been permitted to do anything without their supervision or consent up until I started college. Sometimes, I wish they would recognize the hard work I put in at school, the good academic standing, and the effort I make.
          
          I started to understand then that I shouldn't count on them to have trust in me. From left to right, all harmful remarks, suspicions, and restrictions will be broadcast. I discovered at that point to ignore what other people had to say and focus on what I can achieve right now.

          As it was already my graduation year, I've been busy and haven't posted any evaluations in the past few months. Our semester break begins this week. I'm hoping to graduate this year with honors.

I haven't been reading since the start of my internship, for the last five weeks. I am drained, I don't have the time to read anymore. I haven't tasted vacation since the pandemic started, my academic program continued and there was always a summer term. I am currently a third-year college student and tomorrow was the enrollment for my last year in college - hopefully. I just wished to finish my internship. I feel so burned out.

Today, I just finished reading the MTL novel "The Rich Ex-Husband Cries and Begs to Remarry". I just love how the story goes. I know reading a novel without a proper translation was pretty bloody but I was intrigued by how the summary was executed. Though I am still hesitant to read to at first because it was a MTL and I don't know if the ex-husband will be the ML of the story, however and thank God I am wrong and decided not to drop the story.
          
          I like how the MC is decisive and her stubbornness gets her to a better place, when she realizes that she was a character in a novel she decisively divorces her husband and focuses on her acting career. What I really love in the story was the character development of the ML, at first I hate him because of his behaviour to the MC since they were in highschool, however in the end he started to change and be a better man for the MC.
          
          The only thing that I am disappointed with is that it is too short. 90+ chapters were definitely short and can be finished in half day. I haven't checked how many chapters are out there for its proper/fan translation. Hopeful, that I will have another chance to read it next time.

I barely have a time to read, 33 out of 600 novels in my library was only finished. I even compare myself to my past self before. Ha. Is this only you can do? Well, of course I can't start my day without reading any chapters. It's probably an addiction, I can't stop, and definitely do not wanted to stop. Who cares by the way? On the side note, I've been reading this novel called, < Your Rival In Love Gets Prettier Every Day > it was cute and both the system and the MC host was hilarious. He always emphasizes that he is a 1 but his body says otherwise. I even shipped him with the OG MC shou cause there are times both of them hanging between 1 and 0. I hoped that I can finish the novel within this week — if there's no school works.

A way to start your day is to read a dog-blood novel <Before It Shrivels> Before My Withering. It consists of 44 chapters and 2 extras. Before reading this I told to myself, "you know what you're doing, so don't regret it!". Yes, I do feel like — maybe I should stop, but it came to that, nah I already started reading this so what's the harm finishing this 44-part novel? Well, it turns out it was worth it. I thought it was your typical sadomasochistic novel, where the after the shou was abusive he will go back to the scum gong who changes and became a better person — heck no, it doesn't go that way, thank goodness. So if you are interested in this novel, please read the tags first. 
          
          
          What I liked the most in this story was the character development, the MC (shou) learns how to love himself and slowly learns how to care for his mental and physical health. I really can't scold the MC for being nuts to the scum gong because he loved him so much that what he think is normal is actually toxic, he felt chained which is he is because the scum gong keep instilling bad thoughts to him. Now, lets talk about the ML (gong), he is such a sweet heart. Everything about him was great but still he is afraid that the MC will hate him if he sees his dark side. I liked how the ML help the MC recover from the past traumas he have been through, and how he (ML) watched the MC from a far, watching the MC's musical performace – he is so sweet. Now finally the the scum gong, at first I just don't get it why would he find a substitute when he can woo his first love? You cay that this scum gong is a tall, rich and handsome but he can't pursue his white moonlight and find a substitute which is the MC. At the end of the story there was an extra chapter for the scum gong, that's when I finally understand his side but still I don't want him for the MC, after all he have done, if I were the MC all I can give him was sympathy not forgiveness. 

Not related to #novels I am just sharing my thoughts.
          
          Since last week I just felt that I am so unlucky. There was an exam and I miss a point a because I did not check properly the answers. After that it bothers me so much that I just want to scream out load, "why are you dumb?!". Then it leads me to another unfortunate day, I am attending an online class using google meet. My sister snatched my phone and accidentally pressed the un-mute button, and the whole class laugh at me because they can hear me loud and clear cursing at my sister. Thank god, our professor immediately muted my microphone.
          
          Yesterday the internet network provider that my family uses suddenly stolen a money from my account and subscribed into a promo which I don't like at all. I've already follow up my concerns but the network provider can't take my money back. Today again, ugh. I order an item online  and it was expensive (I've saved a lot) so that I can buy this, however because of the mistake my mom I can't use the item anymore. It was very frustrating. This whole week was hell and my only escape was reading, but after that. I am mulling about the fact that I was really unlucky.
          
          
          
          

When I realize that there are tons of webtoon that will be adapted into live action this year!  *screams* ORV, Remarried Empress, Semantic Error, Cherry Blossoms after Winter, and many more. Hopefully these adaption will be worth to watch. I am also excited for the manhwa adaptation of the novel 'The S-Class That I Raised'. I stopped reading this novel for some reason, but many I will come back reading this if there are many translated chapters available.
