... Chapter 22 of Keeping the Casanova has been posted at Soompi, LU and Fanfiction.net~! (Just click on the links to go straight to the newest chapter!)
Oh, and I haven't sent any PMs to the readers on Soompi because of time-constraints... Cheongmal mianhaeyo!
Anyways, I'm very happy that some people stick stuck on to reading KTC even though I rarely update nowadays. Law school is a difficult playing field so I have to keep my studies up if I don't want to get kicked out of the school I go to. *sigh*
Well, I'd still like to thank everyone for their support!
Imagine, Boys Over Flowers (Korean Version) aired in the year 2009. And it's already 2012! It's been three years since I became a SoEulmate and up until now, I remain a true blue SoEulmate~!
My only wish this year is that some PD finally recognize that Kim Bum and Kim So Eun both has stable acting backgrounds under their belt, and finally acknowledge that their chemistry is still very powerful... *cough*Prettypleasepairthemupinadrama*cough*
I'm looking forward to spending another year being a SoEulmate! I hope you guys do, too! =)
regards,
shattered teardrops

Yes, I've been MIA for a month
... and with an acceptable reason.
I've been pretty open about how law school affected my life since I nose-dived into it without much preparation or warning. (Well, I've been warned, but I didn't think it would be too difficult. I was wrong.)
The epic failure of my grades, my barely-existent social life reduced further to mere miniscule shambles, my stressed-out appearance, my dwindling eyesight (I'm near-sighted and it's getting worse.), and my constantly saturated brain were the results of my first semester in law school.
It's not fun. It's challenging definitely, but not fun.
We're constantly bombarded with essay questions which seem more like trick questions, rather than an essay ones. MCQs are hecka confusing, and the teachers, well, some of them are exactly the devil personified.
And so, I am left confused and torn yet again.
During my first week of law school, the Dean of our College told us that being in law school required a lot of sacrifices - some small, some big - all of them essential in order to survive law school.
She said that, "Law School is a jealous mistress...". Most of the working-students were discouraged from employment if it's possible for them to study without any distraction. And this advice came with good reason: law school really is tough.
And this topic, I would like to relate with the promise I made a month ago: I promised not to abandon writing my SoEul fanfiction entitled "Keeping the Casanova". In fact, I even promised not to quit writing fanfics.
I haven't posted an update for a month already, and this has been a constant source of heartbreak. I feel that as a writer, I've failed in the most basic task of posting new chapters for my readers.
And I don't even have much time to write because most of my time is spent on reading, studying and memorizing. What's left of it, I use to rest and help out with the chores at home. (I'm the eldest daughter. Imagine the responsibility.)
As of the moment, I am in deep contemplation. (Not to mention, confused as hell.)
I have been writing for eight years now - admittedly, that is not such a short time and something that is not easy to give up.
I don't want to give up writing fanfics.
I don't want to give up writing Keeping the Casanova.
I don't want to give-up SoEul.
I don't want to give up being shattered teardrops.
...but it's as if I'm driven to the edge and forcefully pushed to choose between two things I highly value.
School or Writing?
The decision is heartbreaking. =(

Still Alive...
...unable to write anything, but still alive.
I just got through my 4-day prelim exams (the last day being today...err... Saturday, July 30, 2011. What time is it???). That being said, this is the first day in two weeks that I was able to check this blog and actually have time to update about my current affairs.
Truth is, my sanity is barely hanging by a mere thread because law school has been literally killing me by forcefully making me go through the arduous endeavors of studying, memorizing, knowing, understanding and a whole lot of reading.
I tell you, law school is a wholly different kind of torture chamber compared to College. I'd even say College was a like... I dunno... too miniscule and lame? That being said, I regret all those moments in College when I didn't strictly practice my study habits. *sigh*
Anyways, this is just a quick post to let you guys know that I am still alive, still breathing and still with the ability to weave words... Unfortunately, not a lot of free time though...
As a compensation to all of you, I'll try to write a longer chapter for the next update for Keeping the Casanova. (You know, just to make up for the fact that it's been so long since I've posted up anything new.)
Gawd... I'm growing geekier and geekier in law school. I have no social life to speak of. I haven't been able to truly relax since the school year started, and by all means, I feel like I'm experiencing a slow and extremely torturous death...
Ugh. I just ranted.
Sorry.

Severing the Strings of Forever
![]() |
| Severing the Strings of Forever |
This has been sitting in my desktop for quite some time now, with a synopsis and a starting outline for the whole story. In fact, I've written the prologue already... But I've never started writing the chapters because my schedule does not permit me to do so. *sigh*
It's a lot different than the usual stories I write in the fact that it's genre is Fantasy-Romance. And nope, no vampires included in this one.
I'm feeling generous today so I'm going to post a snippet of this story.
PROLOGUE OF SEVERING THE STRINGS OF FOREVER:
OO. PROLOGUE
"Never interfere with Death..."
He watched by the sidelines as the burly and balding middle aged man brought the little girl inside his office. The man was supposed to be the little girl’s teacher – her second father – a person who’s supposed to ensure the welfare of the children under his care.
But his maligned intentions shadowed the nobility of his profession.
A frown painted itself on the unseen audience’s face, out of sheer disgust as he flicked his wrist up to look at his watch. He didn’t like handling cases like these.
Who would ever like watching a burly and balding middle-aged man corrupting the innocence of a child?
One would think that with a lithe build and a face of ethereal quality such as his, he could easily draw attention to himself without even wanting to. One could surmise that the burly, balding man could have seen him, and unwittingly stop what he was about to do because of his antagonizing presence and scrutinizing eyes.
The crucial question in the present situation is…
Can he actually be seen, in the first place?
To answer the question above, the burly and balding man continued to lead the little girl inside his office, confident that he was privy to what he was about to do. Let it be known that invisibility was the one of the many perks of being other-worldly.
Impatiently, he lifted his other hand holding a piece of paper and stared at the information written on it.
Name: Yoon Chul-Soo
Birthday: January 23, 1966
Age: 45 years old.
Death: June 22, 2011, 4:37 PM
Location: Seoul, South Korea
He looked at his watch again. It was only 4:05 PM.
He shifted his eyes back to the paper to read more details.
Cause of Death: Heart attack upon sexual climax.
He frowned, clearly displeased.
As if things weren’t as despicable enough, his assignment just had to die at the exact time he reaches the climax of his carnal pleasure at the expense of an innocent child.
He cursed inwardly and entered the room while remaining unseen. For someone inhuman as him, it was effortless to enter a room locked from the inside. Physical confines such as rooms in the Human World were never a problem to him.
What disturbed him more was the sight of the man and the little girl in front of him. The strong taking advantage of the weak.
The little girl was no more than five years old, practically still a baby. She was one of those angelic-looking ones that had a heart-shaped face, blessed with wide, doe-eyes framed beautifully by thick and cursive lashes. No wonder the lecherous teacher had taken a liking to her.
She was wearing a pink little dress with ruffles and laces – a dress fit for a feminine little princess – a dress that ultimately has to be taken off in order for the burly, balding man to complete his sinister plans.
A disgusted frown continued to envelope the unseen audience’s facial features as the man slowly lifted the girl to his lap and began undoing the buttons of the little girl’s dress. All the while, the little girl was busy playing with her porcelain doll, completely unaware of what was about to happen to her.
For the nth time, he looked at his watch again. The time was 4:13.
“Shit.” He cursed inwardly but continued to stand by the sidelines and watch as the man’s life string approached its end. He was tapping his feet, growing impatient by the minute.
By then, the man had already unbuttoned all of the buttons on the girl’s dress and was beginning to lower it down from her frail shoulders. The sight was nothing short of despicable. He tried his best to fake nonchalance and continued standing by the sidelines without interfering.
“My little Helena… We’re going to play a little game, shall we?” The burly, balding man chanted in a childlike tone with a sinister sneer on his aged face.
The little girl looked up to him, her big brown orbs wide with inquiry, confusion and finally, fear… Fear of the unknown… Fear of what was about to come… Or maybe, somehow, her instinct for self-preservation kicked in subconsciously inside her young mind.
“Teacher Yoon… I-I want to go home…” She inquired, her eyes filled with fear.
Whatever it was that lit alarm on the little girl’s brown orbs, the unseen entity knew that he could not let things happen as fate dictated them.
With a cringe on his face, and knowing full well that he was going to regret what he was about to do, the unseen entity stepped forward towards the burly, balding man’s direction.
A touch. That was all it took for him to sever the man’s life string.
In a matter of minutes, the burly, balding man’s grip on the little girl had loosened as his heart erratically maneuvered itself towards his death. The man clutched his chest in pain as the last few seconds of his life passed by in a blur – until on the last second – it was then that he saw the ethereal face of death.
If he really was the personification of death, then Death would be very beautiful in all his fine glory and wraithlike appearance. He had the blackest mane contrasted with pale, smooth skin. He had lips the color of ripe strawberries ready for plucking, and his eyes were the color of the cerulean ocean in its full, unspoiled glory. And if humans knew that his was the face that was going to meet them upon their demise, nobody would ever fear the transition to the afterlife.
But he wasn't death itself... He was merely an instrumentality of death... Someone who has to work religiously in schedule to uphold death's purpose... And thus, when it came to circumstances regarding death, he was helpless...
Wordlessly, like someone tired of a chore, he collected the card which held the burly, balding man’s soul. The card was colored black with intricate black details embedded unto its back, and the face of the burly, balding man in front. Unless he wills it, the burly, balding man’s soul will remain to be held inside the card.
Strangely enough, even though he knew that he had completed his assignment, he looked at his watch again as his lips appeared pursed in a thin line.
He knew that he was a few seconds earlier than what was scheduled and the realization of his mistake bitterly stung his conscience. Such intervention was never held unpunished.
Never.
One of the sacred rules in this duty was to never interfere with death... As it would have adverse consequences...
He momentarily paused and waited for something to happen… But nothing. He looked around, seemingly surprised.
No earthquakes, no sudden flashes of lightning, no higher beings appearing out of nowhere to reprimand him – Nothing. And that seriously struck him as odd…
Until he looked down at the little girl…
… and found her staring straight at him.
---------[end of prologue]---------
THAT'S IT!!!
haha

Busy~
I just started law school last June 6, 2011. And I just got through my first six days in law school. It was effing hellish, I tell you.
Nevertheless, I'm not here to talk about that.
Anyways, before classes started, I mapped out goals to do before I run out of free time. Unfortunately, I was not able to complete any of those goals because I had been very occupied with a lot of things.
Secondly, I would like to inform you all that my writing is going to take the back seat for now. Law school is demanding, and exhausting, and stressing and - It's crazy.
I just got through my first week and I'm already very dizzy with all the work I have to do, and all the cases I have to read and digest.
Truth be told, if I see another case, I'm going to barf. And that's saying much because I have to study 16 cases tomorrow for my graded recitation on Monday. And 200 more cases before Friday.
And what's more hellish is the fact that before I sleep at night since last week, I have been thinking of a fantasy romance plot for a story, and have been polishing character details in my mind. What's hellish is the fact that I don't have time to put it into paper!!! ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!
I've also been itching to write an update for Keeping the Casanova and for He Caught Me but I just don't have the effing time!
It's disappointing and frustrating, plus the fact that my stress levels are soaring high up because of law school - my sanity has been treading on a very thin thread and very soon, I'm gonna snap. And when that happens, I will have to bitch-slap someone senseless to relieve stress. (Any volunteers?)
Anyways, that's it.
I'm not really going on a temporary hiatus, but I will have to say that I'm not going to be updating as frequently as before. Please understand and please be patient. You're going to be of a lot of help to me if you just be patient. Thank you very much.

The Quiescent Kind
... a one-shot.
I made two versions: one for Soompi, the non-gasoo version, and the Wattpad & FictionPress version. I cater to different readers so I decided to make two versions.
Just to clarify any questions...
YES, I AM DaniFire
I made two versions: one for Soompi, the non-gasoo version, and the Wattpad & FictionPress version. I cater to different readers so I decided to make two versions.
The Quiescent KindTeaser/Preview
Dear May,
Let me start by quoting the eternal words of our favorite ol’ William… "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind..." You made a mistake because you were in love with him but I still do think that it was better that you knew everything before it was too late.
Then, let me add my own quote because I know ol’ William and I share the same passion for poetry… “It is better to lose a lover… Than to love a loser.”
I know that no truer words have ever been spoken. And I know you’re probably rolling your eyes out because of sheer exultation for the showcase of my poetic prowess.
Ah, well, if you must know, I am honor-bound to act like a dork and sound completely idiotic just to make you feel better. But seriously, Baby Girl, this is the moment of truth. I’m completely being serious here… No sh*t!
-oOo-
POSTERS AND CHARACTER CHARTS:
In light of the two versions, I also made two posters & character charts.
The Original Fiction Version poster & character chart (For Wattpad).
The Soompi Non-Gasoo Version poster and character chart. (For Soompi Forums)
NOTE:
The Original version will be uploaded on FictionPress under DaniFire and on Wattpad under shatteredteardrops.
The Soompi version will be posted on Soompi Forums under DaniFire because it's been so long since I've used that account. =)
LINKS:
The Original Fiction Version - Wattpad & FictionPress.

What a shocking development in my writing career, isn't it? =)

Last Week of Summer
This week is actually my last week "free"...
That is because my classes will start on June 6, Monday next week. But before that, I have a few things to do... Like buy school stuff, arrange my living quarters in the city, and buy some new clothes and things because I have a shortage of clothes.
I'm no longer gonna be wearing uniform so I need clothes, and because last month, I gave away most of my clothes to charity. So yeah... I need to do some shopping.
HOWEVER!
Before June 6 comes, I have a few goals set for myself.
Goals:
That's it! Hopefully, before I return to my boarding house on Sunday, I would have completed these goals for this week. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. =)

A Shock
Chapter 18 of Keeping the Casanova...
Nukes are in this chapter. Muahahahaha *cough* *cough* I gotta practice my evil laugh more. XD
REPLIES:
teresaa- - Chapter 18 will somehow answer Han Byul's connection to the F4. That's all I'm giving away. =) As for Eun Hye & Shin Hye, well, right from the start, I was already intending to put them into the story. haha It was all planned up.
inday_yu - Ji Hoo's story is a sort of side story so I won't elaborate on that unless it's needed. But I do love me some Ji Hoo so maybe I can write about it more. =) As for Jae Kyung and Woo Bin, I always have fun writing about this couple. XD
Trixie9394 - Is Woo Bin making Jae Kyung jealous? Well... Hmmm... Maybe. But I have bigger plans for them. Muahahaha
dee:) - I also love the two of them! XD Muahahaha
deep.dreamer - Thank you! I hope you like Chapter 18 then. =)
Ahr3um - The Chapter was a bit short because it was a filler. =)
great.am - I know, right? I mean, the first time I saw Mi Nam in You're Beautiful, I was totally thinking of Eun Hye in Coffee Prince! XD
yeongweonhi02stary - That's what I was trying to portray Woo Bin as. Someone who can be good for a night or lust, but not for love. Awwww. =(
carylmeasblue - True that! I believe some people are just hormonally-driven. LOL.
starzz24 - I know exactly what you mean. =)
akemi_cho - Wow... I guess welcome back? haha Good luck on your studies, too! Hope you do well! =)
alasdair_vahn - There is a bigger reason why Woo Bin brought Jae Kyung to that restaurant. I write everything for a purpose, sometimes, the answer is just not that obvious. *winks*
paradoxist - It's alright! Studies first! =) I'm glad you still come back to read my story though. That really makes me feel nice. Muahahaha. Kidding! XD Good luck on your studies, too! Hope you do well! =) Don't worry. I'm going to continue sending PMs!
isdupt15 - Oh, sure... Surprises are my specialty. =)
leighannechan - Ditto! You can totally read my mind! =)
kly8 - He surely is! XD Come on, it's Jae Kyung we're talking about here. haha

To The Readers of...
...The Crimson Insignia & Ignominy,
First off, I would like to apologize for dragging you all into a world solely existing inside my mind, and leaving you hanging for several months. For making you wait, for making you expect, for making you excited... only to disappoint you in the end...
I'm sorry.
There is no excuse for such behavior and I solely take the blame for my mistake.
I have been in a constant battle against myself these past few months, trying to discern just what exactly should I do with my story. There were moments when I was caught up in a block, but pressed on and posted an update for you, guys... Those moments made me breathe a sigh of relief, but I knew that I was slowly losing the will to continue.
Don't get me wrong. Before I start any story, I have already laid out the trail of twists that will follow. I have always been a planner. The planning and the twists to put in the story is not the problem.
The problem is the lack of motivation. The lack of will to continue. It is not something that readers can demand for. It is something intangible and intimate that exists between a story and the writer.
Every story that I have created is like a child of mine, since it is something that came out of my own hands. I tend to it with care, late-night brainstorming and endless hours of typing. The work simply does not end after I post the first chapter. In fact, the needs of these "children"of mine increase once they are released into the vast world of the web.
I have had the opportunity to mother several "children". And I do admit it is hard. After all, I lead a double life. An offline life, and an online life. It's especially exhausting when my off-line life gets hectic and I have to get away from my online life for long periods of time.
When I started these stories, I really wanted to finish them.
But along the way, things didn't work out, and I just have to let go.
I perfectly knew that if I continued to write these stories despite the lack of motivation, it wouldn't be something that "the best of me" created. It will not have my heart in it. It would be like updating for the sole satisfaction of the readers, but without me in it. It would be like raising a child without love.
And so, I decided to discontinue writing TCI and Ignominy.
Since these stories are children of mine, I do not have the heart to kill them and say good-bye. Rather, I'd want to say "See you later" to them. I am not merely proposing an indefinite hiatus from writing these stories, rather I want to shelf them up and open them for later - a time when I can look at them again and maybe have the strength to correct my mistakes and finally finish them.
To sum up, I would like to apologize for not finishing the stories I've started. I apologize for starting an adventure with you guys, and not being able to finish it up until the very end.
I take all the blame and I apologize.
Sincerely,
shatteredteardrops
First off, I would like to apologize for dragging you all into a world solely existing inside my mind, and leaving you hanging for several months. For making you wait, for making you expect, for making you excited... only to disappoint you in the end...
I'm sorry.
There is no excuse for such behavior and I solely take the blame for my mistake.
I have been in a constant battle against myself these past few months, trying to discern just what exactly should I do with my story. There were moments when I was caught up in a block, but pressed on and posted an update for you, guys... Those moments made me breathe a sigh of relief, but I knew that I was slowly losing the will to continue.
Don't get me wrong. Before I start any story, I have already laid out the trail of twists that will follow. I have always been a planner. The planning and the twists to put in the story is not the problem.
The problem is the lack of motivation. The lack of will to continue. It is not something that readers can demand for. It is something intangible and intimate that exists between a story and the writer.

Will be AFK for two weeks..
AFK means Away From Keyboard..
I will be away from writing, posting and updating in the coming two weeks because of two reasons: 1.) Processing my law application, 2.) Trying to find employment for my lazy ass.
Seriously, the law application has been dragging on for too long because of the fact that the teachers, whose signatures I need to have on a piece of paper called a clearance, aren't showing up when I need them to.
Also, I just happened to take note of a job opening in a government office where I did my on-the-job-training. They have an opening for a clerical position so I was hoping I could apply.
Since law classes start at 5PM in the afternoon, I have the whole day free. That would be just enough time for me to take on a part-time job or a full-time one.
Wish me luck! =)
Will update after I'm through with these responsibilities...

shatteredteardrops

Mending What's Broken
Chapter Sixteen of Keeping the Casanova
Author's Note:
For the last Chapter, you guys mentioned Kristofer Valfrid was an ass for saying that the F4 were gay. I'd like to clarify that I tried to see an outsider's perspective who might learn about the F4 for the first time, hence, it was that way. I meant no disrespect, okies? =)
REPLIES:
alasdair_vahn - True. There are still a lot of things that the F4 hasn't experienced so I try my best to write about them gaining experiences for character growth. Also, Ji Hoo is a heart surgeon, his specialty is operating on heart patients so even though he's a doctor, technically speaking, his field of expertise is different. Thanks for reading!
darkrainbowday-x - Aah.. Of course. Babies are the one of the hardest things to handle for a handsome gangster. haha
xloserr - I like Woo Bin and Jae Kyung, too, but since this is mainly a SoEul story, I try to focus more on Yi Jung and Ga Eul's relationship. *winks*
inday_yu - Ahahaha Incompetent child handlers! I love that line! XD
Trixie9394 - And thank you for reading! I try my best to inject humor as much as I could.. =)
dee:) - I couldn't stop myself from adding a little snippet of Woo Bin's inner turmoil at the end.. I think it balances the whole cheerful atmosphere. =)
kly8 - I know, right? XD
krazydaisy96 - And you are absolutely right. There is no way I'm going to leave Woo Bin hanging! =) I'm updating more frequently because it's summer here in the Philippines!
emkail - That's a possibility. *winks*
babypillow - Yeah! The F4 are so manly, they make everyone else pale in comparison! =)
iaimeyouS2 - I know! That's why I wrote that! Finally! Someone who understands the logic behind why Mr. Valfrid called the F4 gay! =)
sylvia_psf - Thank you! And thanks for reading! =)
carylmeasblue - Aww.. All of us want some happy ending for Prince Song. =)
teresaa- - Woo Bin's impotence is a sort of twist I didn't plan on putting but was very glad I put it in anyways.. Thanks for reading!
shar0nsaurus - Han Byul's father? Keke It's going to be a little shocker. XD
deep.dreamer - Actually, impotence may mean can have sex but not be able to fertilize the egg cells of the female. =)
Ahr3um - The real father will be revealed... soon. XD
leighannechan - Ga Eul PAWNED another guy! XD
yeongweonhi02stary - Agree! Low sperm count doesn't mean no sperm! LOL.
jaequeen - Please wait! haha Even if you can't! =)

Future Plans
I've always been open about my plans to enter law school this coming June. And that's fixed as a tee, completely permanent and non-negotiable.
Aside from that, recently, I've been thinking about what to do about my writing. What are my future plans? What do I am to accomplish in the future? What else am I going to write about?
Well, to start off, I plan to graduate from writing SoEul stories. That's after I finish writing KTC, of course. I feel like it really is time for me to move on. I'm not giving up my hope for the Bumsso couple to reunite but I'm giving up writing about SoEul.
I would like to thank the fans of SoEul as well as Bumsso for serving as the readers of my stories for the last two years. To the readers at LU, Soompi, AF, and FF.net, thank you so much for the love. You have been my biggest motivation and for that, I really owe a lot to all of you.
I'm still going to finish KTC so you guys still have something to watch out for.. =)
Currently, aside from KTC, I'm beginning to concentrate more on working on original fiction stories (non-gasoo). Recently, I've registered on Wattpad.com and has posted one short story. I'm planning to write more original stuffs so I hope that you still continue to show support to me by reading my works.
As for my other stories on Soompi (TCI and Ignominy), well, I'm still thinking really hard about what to do to them... My head says I should just close their threads since it's been so long since I updated but my heart just couldn't simply give them up...
Well, that's it for now. =)

The Long Awaited
To update those of you who are still waiting, well, truth is, I'm still working on an update for Keeping the Casanova. Currently, the word count is 1, 464... My minimum word count per update is 2, 000, so you'll just have to wait a little more. I might update next week.
Another trivia about this update is that, this was 98% typed on my handy dandy celphone. Yep, you read right. On my phone. I just got a new phone as a present from my Dad. It's a Nokia E63 and it really suited my needs as a person, reading-wise and writing-wise. =)
If you guys want proof that I'm working on an update, here's a little screenshot:
Are you guys excited? keke

Edit and Fix
Today, starting 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I edited the messed up code tags of Ignominy on Soompi Forums... I briefly stopped for dinner and continued editing again. Currently, it's 11:18 in the evening and I've finally finished fixing the messed up tags of all 26 Chapters.
I also have to fix the messed up tags of my other stories on Soompi. Don't ask my why I trouble so much... I'm OCD like that...
Here's a small preview of how the newly fixed Ignominy thread on Soompi Forums look like...
Anyways, just to get some points across, I would like to clarify that I'm not abandoning my unfinished stories. Everything is just so crazy right now because I'm graduating from College on March 25.
Although it has crossed my mind to just abandon my stories when my flashdisk got lost, I realized that my stories are my children. They're the offspring of my love for writing and my late-night typing, so if I abandon them, it's just like abandoning my children... And I just can't take that...
So, hopefully, within the next few weeks, I finally conjure an update for you guys.
Again, I apologize for the long wait. Please bear with me...

Oopsie Daisies~
Okay, I just checked my Mediafire Account and realized that I have unintentionally deleted the PDF file of Capturing the Casanova. That means, the download link for that PDF file doesn't work anymore.
I didn't know this until today. And it has probably been months that the link wasn't working. For this, I apologize.
Anyways, I've re-uploaded CTC PDF file on Mediafire and the link has been changed. I've updated the download link in this blog so it should work just fine. teehee
That's it!
As for updates, patience, my dear minions. =)

ANNOUNCEMENT: INDEFINITE HIATUS
To My Readers,
I regret to inform you that I will be going in an indefinite hiatus from writing my current unfinished stories. I have been struggling since last year to post updates and I'm really sorry to inform you that my schedule really isn't being very helpful right now.
Like I've said over and over again, I am a Senior in College and I'm still struggling to graduate this year. Hopefully. I have an on-the-job training to take care of, plus a Thesis to complete (I haven't even started it yet.). That and the usual school load including projects, exams and stuff like that.
Also, I have a lot of extra-curricular activities lined up. I'm part of our University's Debating Team and I've got a series of Debates lined up where I'm supposed to travel to far places. We just won the Regional Competition in Oxford-Oregon Format for the Philippine Association of Universities and State Colleges yesterday. That means, I and my team mates are going to have to proceed to the National Level of the Competition on February 20-21, 2011. I don't exactly know where we're going for the National Level. I'm not sure if it's going to be in Isabela or in Vigan but surely, we're going to have to travel.
Aside from that, I'm also going to compete in a Debate Competition among Political Science students all over the Philippines on January 28-30, 2011 using the Australasian Format of Debate, and that will be in Iligan. That's pretty far from where I am so that means travel as well.
So, yeah, I have no choice but to announce an indefinite hiatus from writing, and practically my online life as Shattered Teardrops. I apologize for this but I hope you understand that I have other priorities to settle aside from writing.

Busy as hell
My life took a sudden dive for a lot of things... Literally.
I will have a few days off for Christmas but that's the only rest I get after a lot of weeks filled with strenuous activities ranging from mountain-hiking, gift giving, Christmas parties and the moohlaah... er... whatever.
Anyways, I will try to conjure an update for my stories during the few days of free time I'm allowed to have in the spirit of Christmas. Hopefully, it'll be my Christmas gift to all of you. =)
