Hi ! RenxKyoko Iglesias here.
So, my last post was on April 26. That was exactly 2 months ago. ( Right, , Captain Obvious). Now I won’t give an excuse like I’ve been busy, yadiya, but I do feel I’m starting to lose my muse………. oh, alright, I’ve been busy. I’m putting in at least 10 hours of work everyday, from Monday to Sunday. I have 2 jobs, you know. Plus, all my free time is spent watching Netflix, mostly TV series that I never had time to watch when they were on, such as Poirot, Midsomer Murders, Fringe, Medium, 100s, etc., and animes such as Hunter x Hunter,( 100 episodes at 25 minutes per episode ) Moribito, and currently Inuyasha , which ends at 193 episode … I finished the whole dang thing yesterday, at 3 AM. Well, after work is the only time I have, so don’t judge. . I can’t multi task when I watch animes. They are in Japanese, so I’m pretty much stuck in the couch reading the English subtitles. About InuYasha…. it is addicting. I love all the characters, except, believe it or not, the main character, InuYasha. He’s a freakin’ moron, indecisive, and a two-timing scoundrel. I dislike him so much that I feel I just wasted 85 hours of my life watching this character being a stupid/ idiot. Die, InuYasha ! Other than that , the anime is one great fantasy/action/thriller story.
So, if you’re so busy doing your thing, Ren, why are you posting now ? Well, something happened a few days ago that made the wheel in my head churning again . My best friend “O” is supposed to get married on July 10, in Southern California ( I live in Northern California ), and I’m a ” witness” in her court wedding. ( not church wedding ) I already bought my plane ticket, and arranged sleeping accomodations ( lucky to have my brother living there ) …….then 2 days ago, I received a text from O that the wedding was cancelled, permanently. According to her, her ” fiancé” has been living a double life ( they’ve been living together for 2 years ) , is actually married, and has a child. I was dumbfounded. I hung out with her at their apartment, playing video games ( we’re not even done yet with Resident Evil, we both suck at it ), and yeah, the ” fiancé” was always there. And he was nice. What the heck. No wonder he wanted to hold the wedding at a place 600 miles from our city….. I wondered about that…… now I know. So, when exactly does he plan to drop the bomb before he commits BIGAMY ? What’s even more mortifying is the fact that this guy is a police officer ,and a Captain , at that. My best friend is also a police officer, by the way. Dang it. It felt like my own stomach got punched, so I cannot even imagine what she’s feeling now. I don’t know what I can do to make her feel better, besides trashing and badmouthing him to death. That scumbag. I’m not generalizing, folks, but seriously, we women always get the short end of the stick….. my friend and yeah, his wife, too. Worse for his wife, to be honest. Aaargh ! Oh, man . The heck !
This reminds me of another break- up, but this time, the douchebag is my guy cousin. He and his fiancée were about to get married….. church schedule already set, wedding invitations, check, wedding dress, check. So what happened ? My cousin had a co-worker who had a humungous crush on him since forever. The woman invited him one day to dinner after work as farewell gift and according to him, a closure on her love. ( my cousin was aware she liked him. ) He obliged….. the problem was, they had drinks too many, and I assume, the woman was desperate, and men being men, he got her pregnant. Was the wedding cancelled ? Yes. Did he marry the pregnant woman, ? No. Though he was threatened with a shotgun wedding by the woman’s family, he still refused, ( he consulted with my aunt …* my aunt is a judge* , regarding legal matters, like , was he legally obliged to marry her, and so forth ) Last news about him was, he and his ex bride got back together, not married yet, and he is supporting his child ) . I met him for the first time at a family reunion when we were in the Philippines last year. I almost told him, ” hey doosh, how’s it goin’? ”
* sigh *
Be brave and strong, sisters.
That’s all. Rant over.

Ren, it’s good seeing your fonts. Busy, busy you are. Sorry to hear about your friend being betrayed. All I can say is “keep on living.” The older we get, the more those type of things come to our knowledge. The worst that I ever heard was a man who had nothing, propose to a woman who had everything. He moved in with her and a few weeks after they married, he beat her into a coma. She did recover and when she came home, her house had been cleaned out. The police told her there was nothing they could do because it was “marital property.” If she wanted it declared otherwise, then she would have to go to court for divorce and prove that it was her pre-marital property.
Thing is, there was still nothing the court could do to restore her because the man disappeared and it was rumored he left the state. Another thing is, he had given that same story with reverse characters to her for why he had nothing — said his prior girlfriend had two guys beat him up and they wiped out his house. In other words, he no doubt had done the same thing to other women. She did some digging and discovered that he left victims in Indiana, Georgia, Illinois, and California.
Posted by renxkyoko on June 27, 2015 at 8:17 pm
OMG, Xena, that’s nasty, too. Should there be pre-marital contract , then ? Depends on the circumstances,doesn’t it ? But I’m sure he got some jail time. That was definitely federal assault.
Oh, wait, is he on the lam ?
Posted by Cassidy Frazee on June 27, 2015 at 7:54 pm
Well . . . damn. Now I wanna know how Mr. Married was gonna pull that one off.
Posted by renxkyoko on June 27, 2015 at 8:42 pm
I know right ? I wanna know, too ! I wonder , is Bigamy a misdemeanor or a federal offense ?
Posted by Cassidy Frazee on June 27, 2015 at 8:57 pm
Not federal: it’s state by state. Here’s what I found–
Penalties for bigamy are typically about 5 years of prison and a medium fine. Some examples by state: California – up to $10,000 or 1 year in jail. The spouse of a bigamist can also be charged $5,000 if she or he knew that the bigamist was married.
Posted by renxkyoko on June 27, 2015 at 9:22 pm
Eeek ! No way. My friend definitely didn’t know. She invited several colleagues from the force, and not one knew about his status.
Posted by Cassidy Frazee on June 27, 2015 at 10:43 pm
I’d think he may have someone on the line elsewhere.
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 27, 2015 at 11:00 pm
You know , all their friends and relatives live in our city. I’m sure not one of his relations was invited. I’m very sure of that. My friend ‘s brother , who’s from our city, and her parents, who live in Florida were supposed to attend, and then myself and another HS pal, and one or two colleagues from the force… that’s all. His relatives know, that’s for sure.
Posted by Joanne on June 27, 2015 at 10:03 pm
Talk about a colostomy bag of a human being. It makes you want to cut off his crown jewels, then put them in a jam-jar. That can be his resume for future relationships, the scumbag. So, so sorry for your friend.
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 27, 2015 at 10:55 pm
This made me laugh.
Gosh …. I’ve got tons of horror stories to tell. Don’t get me started. Hmmmph.
Posted by disperser on June 27, 2015 at 10:13 pm
As a guy, I can tell you most men are jerks. Sad, but true.
. . . oh, and very few ever wash their hands after going to the bathroom.
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 27, 2015 at 10:53 pm
Yeah. I know that.
Huh ? I’m wondering about restaurant cooks and chefs. O_O
Posted by disperser on June 28, 2015 at 3:25 am
Well, I can’t be sure, but given the low percentage of men I see wash their hands, I would not assume “Employees MUST Wash their Hands” would hold much sway.
. . . I don’t eat out much . . .
Posted by ~REBECCA DAWN~ on June 28, 2015 at 5:07 am
Oh wow that is horrible! A guy is married and then wants to have a relationship with another woman and marry her! I feel for you and your cousin! I don’t understand how guys can do that! Be that self absorbed and narcissistic! Sort of like that show My 5 Wives! That makes me cringe!
Yet there are polymory lifestyles, but everyone involved has to know each other and approve.
Aw you were watching Inu-yasha? I 💓 that show! I cry every time I think of kikyo! I loved Sessohamaro! And Ren!
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 28, 2015 at 6:15 am
Oh, Rebecca, she’s my friend…. since middle school. But you’re right… his action was so illegal, and to think he was supposed to guard the law.
No way, Rebecca ! I hate Kikyo. I wish she wasn’t brought to life. Oh, wait, she wasn’t really ailve. She was just clay and graveyard soil. He he
Seriously, I hate Kikyo and InuYasha. Sorry, girl. Did you like her?. I was all for kagome, poor heartbroken girl.
Posted by ~REBECCA DAWN~ on June 28, 2015 at 10:26 am
I loved kikyo, it was so sad how she thought Inu-yasha betrayed her, when it was Naraku. And when she was brought back to life she had to eat souls to stay alive. I didn’t mind kagome. she and Inu-yasha 💓🙌 forever
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 28, 2015 at 5:05 pm
I know I’m biased against her, but it was her fault that she wanted InuYasha to be human. Kagome accepts him as he is, half human, half Yokai. If she didn’t wish him to be human, then most probably , bad things wouldn’t happen. I also don’t like that she did try so many times to get in Kagome’s and Inuyasha’s way, even tried to take Inu to die with her, and used Inu’s guilty feelings . She knows she’s dead, she’s made of clay and graveyard soil and only lives through the dead souls. It isn’t fair of her to take Inu who is very much alive and has a brighter future with kagome. I hate Inuyasha . I wish he had gone with her… and Kagome should have gotten together with Hojo, her school’s popular idol who’s very smitten with her. Inuyasha jerked Kagome around by being indecisive, although at one point, he had actually decided and chosen to be with Kikyo. I just wished he followed that through and gone to die wth her. He doesn’t deserve Kagome’s love.
Posted by ~REBECCA DAWN~ on June 28, 2015 at 6:03 pm
true but he fights to protect her and her friends. i really like inu-yasha towards the end. he kept confusing kagome with kikyo, their similarities their single mindness. yet despite his feelings for kikyo he didnt love her enough to stay with her. he loved kagome ♥
kikyo was so sad and vengeful! i was hoping she and sessohamaru would get together and raise Ren as their own. hee hee way off on that fantasy.
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 28, 2015 at 7:02 pm
He does fight to protect his friends, including kagome who is one of them. Inuyasha at one time tells kagome he trusts her wholeheartedly, and he feels happy with her. It’s the beginning of love, but Kikyo to him is still alive and well, and believes he should be with her… and Kikyo at this point feeds on that belief. What I don’t like about her is she knows it’s hopeless, she’s dead, and is only alive by feeding on dead souls, souls that need to be at peace already. And she knows her body is empty… there isn’t even a heart. What kind of life does she think she can give Inuyasha. It was pure selfishness for her to bring down Inuyasha . She should wish him a brighter future instead.
As I said, there was a point he was ready to go with her and die ( both Kikyo and Inu were being pulled down to hell … it wasn’t heaven because Kikyo was already tainted at that point because of her selfishness, jelousy, and bad thoughts about Kagome. It was Kagome’s voice that ” woke” Inuyasha , so he didn’t get pulled down. Kagome witnessed all that… Inu and Kikyo kissing … she suffered a lot. That’s why I hate Inu and Kikyo .
Kikyo is totally dead, Rebecca, Her body is an empty shell. No heart, no blood, nothing.
And she will finally die. Permanently later… but before that she gets a passionate kiss from Inu, that bastard… in Kagome’s presence. Kagome gives up on him at this point. She says there’s really no place for her in his heart, so she can’t be with him….. Do you know she left feudal japan and stayed there for 3 years, until she graduated from HS…. and she has completely forgotten about everyone and feudal Japan, until she comes across the tree where she first met Inu.
Posted by ~REBECCA DAWN~ on June 28, 2015 at 8:12 pm
Yes kikyo’s duty to the shikon jewel and to killing naraku is what makes her so selfish. She was miko priestess and that is why she wanted inu yasha to be human. She couldnt love him if he was still demon. She had to consume souls to make sure she would be alive to kill naraku.
that tree oh I loved that tree. I think it’s romantic in a way that Inu-yasha was bound to the tree and kagome found him.
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 28, 2015 at 10:41 pm
Kikyo was dying in the river. Kagome fr some reason went to that area and found her there, and saved her by purifying Kikyo from the poison miasma that was slwly killing her. kikyo asked her why, why did she save her, and kagome answered that Inu loved loved her ( Kikyo ) and therefore by saving her, it would make inuyasha happy, and that was enough for her. That was the point when Kikyo gave up on her desire to have Inu to be with her because of kagome’s pure love and unselfishness. . from then on, she just wanted to help destroy Naraku,,,, but she died right after anyway, and it was actually kagome’s own power that finally destroyed naraku.
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 29, 2015 at 2:23 pm
PS
Kagome is a reincarnated miko, but she accepts Inu as half yokai- half human. That’s the big difference. Kikyo wants Inu to change.
Posted by ~REBECCA DAWN~ on June 29, 2015 at 5:10 pm
Yes that was the big difference between them, and what I liked about each.
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 30, 2015 at 4:54 am
I don’t like that about Kikyo. Why couldn’t accept the way he was ? Do you know that’s the theme of the story? Inu was not accepted by humans, even his mother’s own family…. his older brother wouldn’t accept him either. It’s prejudice . That’s why he couldn’t trust anyone, yokais and humans alike. PREJUDICE, Rebecca. Kagome , on the other hand , was very accepting.
Kikiyo’s prejudice started the ball rolling. She wasn’t supposed to use the jewel. It was entrusted to her and she was supposed to protect it from being used . Kikyo became tainted due to her prejudice.
Posted by ~REBECCA DAWN~ on June 30, 2015 at 5:00 am
Exactly! there was extreme prejudice against Inu-yasha!!
Inu-yasha was very distrustful of humans and youkais until he fell in love with kikyo. And when kikyo bound him to the tree he found himself never trusting anyone again until kagome!
I found it so sad that no one loved Inu-yasha except kagome.

Hi ranting Ren 😀
I thought most policemen get divorced due to long hours working, but this captain probably works 9 to 5, the rest of the time seems to be screwing up at least two women’s lives. Heck, I can’t even get a girlfriend 😉
BTW I have never seen so many photos on one Gravatar ….. yours !
Happy Sunday my friend 😀 ❤
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 29, 2015 at 2:20 pm
He’s a Captain, so that means he’s right at the headquarters from 9 to 5 , sitting prettily and pushing envelopes,
Cheers. Ralph.

Posted by peakperspective on June 28, 2015 at 8:04 pm
Oh, boy, Ren, do there seem to be a few humdinger boy problems taking up residence in your life. Makes you think, doesn’t it? About honest, commitment, integrity? All those things your parents hype on. It really brings them into sharp focus when it falls into your lap. But ugh, those poor girls.
I do hope you’ll be able to offer them some much-needed support.
Trust is probably the most important component of any relationship. Without it, you’ve got bubkes.
Posted by renxkyokoiglesias on June 29, 2015 at 2:14 pm
I’ve got a ton more sordid stories to tell. They aren’t your common garden variety break-ups. They’re pretty devastating and life-changing. Make me lose faith in good ‘ol romance and eternal love . * sigh *

Unfortunately for me, I do know and know of tons of people who have been unlucky in love. They’re even stranger than soap operas. They’re not your ordinary break – ups and unrequited love, they’re pretty devastating and life-changing because so many are involved… betrayal is nasty, even among friends.

Yes it is – unfortunately so…

Sorry to hear about your friends’ wedding surprises/problems. Since we altered our cable tv to basic and installed Apple TV, we’ve been watching more Netflix because of the diversity in movies and tv shows we never watched (you can’t watch everything– and I do have hobbies to keep me busy,) Nice to here from you again. Peace.
Posted by renxkyoko on June 30, 2015 at 6:11 pm
I didn’t watch TV for years, except a few documentaries, and MSNBC for politics. I have never even watched the ever popular Walking Dead. The last time I went to the cinema was for World War Z, and before that, the last Harry Potter movie. We subscribed to Netflix just recently, like , 4 months ago, so I’m enjoying our new acquisition
It’s sad about the wedding. I dont know what I’d do if that happened to me. It broke my heart . We’ve been friends since middle school.

As fo Netflix – yep – addicting.

I would suggest you get a few more and call them up to add them to the list, http://thebestshow.net/episode/worst-100-characters-percy-hobart-mike-krol/?
Your middle and last paragraph are shocking! Good stuff!

Ok, I was just thinking I hadn’t heard from one of my favourite bloggers in an age, and I thought I’d wonder over here to see if you were saying anything. I get the Netflix addiction because I have it too, although mainly for films and not series. but this bigamous police Captain guy. I mean that’s pretty hard to understand to be honest. I suppose if the wedding had actually gone ahead his new “wife” could have then arrested him, she being a police officer. Not a good one for the guys I admit. Head shaking here !!
Posted by renxkyoko on July 9, 2015 at 6:35 pm
I guess it’s a life-changing event for my friend, and for my guy cousin and his fiancée. They say once a cheater, always a cheater. If that’s true, it doesn’t bode well for the girlfriend of my cousin. Meanwhile, my friend had a lucky escape. That’s why I say, a girl should also use her brain, and not only her heart. But then, we don’t really know what’s in store for us, do we ? You know what they say about the best laid plans.
Oh, well. Cheers, Peter Wells ! Lets just knock on the wood and hope for the best.

Crikey, this sort of news is always a shock, although we men aren’t all bad, there are plenty of rubbish ones I will grant and I can never understand what they do but there are good ones as well. i always hold doors open for women and that is my proof for being a good guy. Netflix is stupidly addictive, I have mastered the art of going to the toilet or fixing in a snack between episodes without having to pause anything.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 9, 2015 at 11:15 am
Do you know what’s great about Netflix ? No cliffhangers ! !
Yes, I was shocked, too. But hey, since I couldn’t get a refund , I just used my plane ticket. I’m now in Long Beach, California ! ( staying in bro’s house ) I reckon a much needed vacation is in order.

It always surprises me how a person can maintain double life, just to remember all the things and stuff – this person must be a good liar! Scary to think about that.. 😦
I found Netflix quite dangerous 😀 – I keep watching their TV series during the weekend! 😀 anyway, hope you are well and still have relaxing time in the midst of being busy with two jobs 🙂

We’re still wondering how this guy’s gonna pull it off. My friend is still very young, I’m sure she’ll get over it soon. S he’s a very lively and energetic person.

Eeeks how hurtful!
Posted by renxkyoko on July 17, 2015 at 9:01 pm
It’s a hurt that no one can ever forget.

Sheesh, guys like this drive me nuts because for every jerk out there who’s stringing along two or more women there are lonely guys out there who can’t find anyone. I guess these guys have that special something that draws women like moths to a flame. I’m glad your friend found out about this before marrying him, yikes!
Posted by renxkyoko on July 17, 2015 at 3:45 pm
I know ! ! ! About the first guy, I don’t know how he’d pull this off. About the second guy, my cousin… he’s lucky his ex-fiancée took him back. I don’t believe it was just that one time.
Posted by Micah on July 17, 2015 at 3:58 pm
Sad to hear about what your friend had to go through. Consider it a blessing that she found out before the wedding day and not after. Mr. Married Guy has surely mastered the art of time management, juggling two women at a time. What the?
Posted by renxkyoko on July 17, 2015 at 9:05 pm
The guy is quite mature. She should have suspected that a guy that age must have a past.
Posted by Matt on July 20, 2015 at 12:41 am
wow, I can’t imagine how I would feel if something like that happened to one of my friends. Sounds like something out of a movie, not something you expect to happen to you or someone you know. Hope she’s doing alright.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2015 at 3:55 am
It’s like a telenovela, a soap opera., something out of a movie, you’re right. I even think the second one, my guy cousin’s shenanigan , is worse. I can’t imagine what I’d do if that happened to me. I’m sure it would take forever to get over from something like that. It’s so life-changing, isn’t it ?
Posted by Jackie Saulmon Ramirez on July 20, 2015 at 2:20 am
Ren, that is such a bummer about that jerk! I would feel sick for my friend, too. How awful to have that happen. The good thing is that it was discovered BEFORE the wedding, even if it was in court. Imagine if they married and had a child and THEN found out!
Hopefully you will not have these issues IF and WHEN you decide to marry. It’s a rotten world for some who are not careful – gee whiz.
Posted by renxkyoko on July 20, 2015 at 3:48 am
She’s very nice… and very lively…. always smiling and laughing. She calls my mother, Mom, and Mom loves her, too. That’s how it is with the two of us. That’s why this one is hurting me too. I feel the pain.

Men! Why are they like that??? Will they ever learn that sooner or later they’ll get caught and when that happens misery and heartbreak will be spilled even on those not directly involved?
Posted by renxkyoko on July 26, 2015 at 1:37 pm
It’s straight out of a telenovela, but then, more often than not, reality is even stranger than fiction.
My friends ‘ parents , like me, had already bought the tickets. They’re from Florida. They also had paid for the reception. But never mind the lost money. Her parents had their hearts broken too for their only daughter.
Even the most kept secret will come out at one point in their lives. It’s a given. *sigh *

Ren, How are you? Are you still a student? You said you have 2 jobs… and you are a student? May God give you more energy. Are you going to get involved with ‘Hilary 2016’ this time? Keep up your good work. It is very nice to see you avatar. Some men are pigs. 😦

Who needs Netflix when you are privy to all that real life drama going on! For the “almost bigamist”, he must have a nice bankroll to be willing/able to support two families. One would think that doing, or even attempting something illegal like that would
Posted by soullfire on August 2, 2015 at 8:33 am
…cost him his job as Captain. For the other, I’m surprises his fiancée took him back..she must have a pretty big heart. I’m not sure I buy that “last night dinner” story versus what really happened. Don’t overdo it and work. =)
Posted by renxkyoko on August 2, 2015 at 3:43 pm
Yes, you’re right about my cousin. We don’t buy that ” last night dinner ” story, either. There ‘s actually an interesting side story with that girl’s family that my cousin had to lawyer up, lol. Though the fiancée was pretty devastated, but apparently, he really loved her and patiently wooed her again. meanwhile, he has to visit and support his kid once in a while.
The ” Captain ” isn’t a captain, I was told. He’s just a regular cop. I think I’m going to write an update .

I wish there was a more personal way to contact you.
Posted by Santosh Namby on August 4, 2015 at 1:49 am
Hey Ren, first of all, welcome back….it is great to see you back writing, and though the topic of your return could have been more happy (being a guy, I’m covering my essentials while writing :D, dont want a misdirected kick to land anywhere ) but yes, guys can be a******s, basically they have their brains between their legs and are only guided by glands…. and yes, it is usually the women who suffer,
Wish there was a way which I, or any other male can change this, but other than being good myself, there is little much one can do….
Still, great to have you back and looking forward to more posts 🙂

Posted by leeannimal403 on August 17, 2015 at 2:41 am
Holy crap, that’s terrifying! Those double life stores are scary considering they’re not just on the Lifetime movie of the week. Who does things like that beyond sociopaths and other mentally unstable individuals???
Posted by renxkyoko on August 17, 2015 at 3:18 am
Like those aforementioned men. Reality is stranger than fiction, and they are as common as dandelions .
Posted by leeannimal403 on August 17, 2015 at 3:25 am
Yes, well, it makes the world a little more scary, yes?
This is why I like to have dessert first. Life is too short and too unpredictable to not enjoy something chocolatey or cheese cakey.
Posted by Desperado on August 17, 2015 at 8:56 am
These double life stories are everywhere. Peopel seem to think they don’t exist but they most definitely do. My own brother-in-laws brother was doing the same thing. Already married and was leading a girl on until she got pregnant and then realised it was too late. The family disowned her as she bought ‘Shame’ on the family. Typical south-asian family… And now the guy is having to look after three families, considering he still has to look after his parents. Serves his right…
And the whole thing with women always being so protective over their husbands and vice versa… Well the truth is, men and women can be cunning and as we saw with the case of your cousin, it is better not to spend time alone with another woman in her home when you’ve got a wife/fiance/girlfriend. It is a big NO!
Posted by renxkyoko on August 17, 2015 at 9:05 am
That’s true. Re my cousin,,, as one commenter pointed out, he doesn’t believe it was a one-off. Maybe they had dated previous to that, and it so happened the girl became desperate, and, my cousin didn’t bring any protective gear. ^^ Bam. * sigh *
But you’re right. It takes two to tango.
Posted by tlr on August 18, 2015 at 7:38 am
Thanks for following my little blog! I feel honored. Anyhoo… I was perusing these comments of yours. You do have a way with words ma’am! Some of these are priceless little jewels:
“Yep, pretty much the poster boys for trustworthiness and fidelity. May their tribe increase !” whahahaah
Posted by renxkyoko on August 18, 2015 at 3:00 pm
Thanks ! !
I do tend to repeat myself on the comment section.
Anyways, Cheers ! Oh, I like your illustrations. I wish I could draw,too. It’s great to express one’s thoughts and feelings thru drawings, isn’t it ?

How could he do that? Fine, I get that he made one mistake. But TWO? Really?
Posted by renxkyoko on August 23, 2015 at 5:11 pm
^^ The stories were about 2 different guys. The first one ‘s from the US, and the second one ‘s from the Philippines.
Cheers !

Some people’s love lives are more dramatic than any anime plot.
I can relate to not posting much due to work. My job involves doing shifts so I only tend to write when I have a day off.
Posted by renxkyoko on September 23, 2015 at 3:28 pm
Ha ha There’s nothing more dramatic than anime plot. But you’re right when it comes to romance genre. I’ve never encountered an anime and manga plot where the groom is already married, or gets another girl pregnant. Shoujo fangirls will drop it like a hot potato.
I procrastinate too much. Or hit a blank wall. Or I’m just too busy. Excuses, excuses.LOL
Cheers !
