INSERT TITLE: when I have the crazeh

Finally! I can be the very best, no one ever was! To catch them is my real test and to train them is my cause! I will travel across the land, searching far and wide! It's here in Japan! No one's going to stop me now from traveling all over. I'm sure my professors will understand that I have a dream that I must follow and accomplish! They can't blame me for pursuing my dreams to make them come true! I'm not sure when I will be back, but when I'm back, I'll be made man. Gotta catch them all!

INSERT TITLE: the free time

I just spent my free time by myself. I was able to ponder about my life. This is what I hate about myself. I'm dying to have free time, but when I do, I have no idea how to spend it right. It's like money. I'm working so hard to earn money, and when I do have it, I spend it on the wrong things. I end up being where I was in the first place. Which makes time money. More importantly, now that I have some time for myself, how should I spend it properly? Well, I'm sure not doing anything would be the wrong way to go.

...

I've made a mistake. Lying on my futon is certainly one way to save my heart from the stress.

INSERT TITLE: a moment away from life

I can't explain this slump I'm having. I don't know why I've lost interest in doing anything all of a sudden. Maybe I just need a break? But for how long? Have you had that feeling where you want to feel useless? I have that feeling right now, when I just don't want to do anything. Nothing at all. It's lazy on a major scale. It's that bad. And I don't care what others say. It's how I currently feel. And I'm wondering where the inspiration went. It's like my spirit has become tired.

Perhaps it's a fear of anticipation. I know the feeling of being busy. And I don't want to feel that feeling for some time. I've been so preoccupied with life that I burned out, that I strained myself, and I don't want anything to do with productivity anymore. But this is all an assumption, because my life is pretty much normal. I get the feeling that I've gotten tired of the monotony. I also can't get any satisfaction in life. I have no motivation to come up with something creative and refresh my life. Have I become too cynical? Too negative perhaps? Or maybe I'm just insane.

How am I depressed? After all of these? I'm surrounded by loving friends, I get by everyday, and I have a life. I should be happy in life. But there's something missing in my life. I want to look for it. I want to concentrate on refreshing my soul.

INSERT TITLE: the fork on the road

I'm caught in this conundrum. It's 12:02pm and I'm in campus. I'm hungry, but I just bought my textbook. And I have an exam two days from now. I'm nursing myself back from the flu and I'm thinking of going home because I don't want to go home after 8pm. If only my professor would show up, so I can ask for his slides to my flash drive. I feel as if my textbook isn't enough, and I paid so much for it. I'm not sure if I can last long until 6pm. I'm just waiting for my next period in the lounge. I should be smarter than this, you know? I have all these gadgets and all these books, but I couldn't feed myself? I'm practically straining and starving myself back to being sick. It's important that to have those slides as they'll make it easier for me to study for this term test. It's so soon. I want to go home and be with everyone's side.

INSERT TITLE: happy new year!

Happy New Year! It's time to get back to work. Aww. Sigh. I feel tired.

It's already the new year, Keitaro. Get act together! It's a brand new year! But the school... and the work... and the papers... ugh. Well anyway, school starts next week, so let's not get sour.

2013 will be mine!

Remember the time when I said that I would write a book? Well, I didn't think Kitsune-san would accept my story and agreed to let me be her co-author! I'm super duper pleased! Wow. A book. If we pull it off, it's going to be really awesome!

"Happy new year, Narusegawa!"

"Happy new year, Keitaro." It's good to see her again. Wow. She's getting more and more beautiful. "How's your break?"

"It went great. Kitsune-san spent the break with us since she had nowhere to go. The family was altogether. And we did lots of fun things."

"Kitsune?"

"Ah yeah. Didn't I tell you before? Anyway, how was your break? How was your new year?"

"Um..." Narusegawa looked away. "It was great too. I have to unpack some things, I'll see you later, Keitaro."

"Yo, Kei-chan. The third chapter looks like it needs more spice to it." Kitsune-san waved the folder. "Hey, Narusegawa. Akemashite omedetou."

"H- happy new year too." Then Narusegawa hurries away. I wonder why she's in a hurry.

Anyway, Kitsune-san and I started brainstorming what more can we add to make chapter 3 interesting. Kitsune-san tells me that the first five chapters are key to make a story interesting, because it will determine how long the reader will keep its initial interest. It's bait to catch readers. If the first few chapters are great, chances are they'll keep reading until the end. So Kitsune-san insisted we beef up the drama in chapter 3. It's not a bad idea.

INSERT TITLE: the route towards the right place

Everyone got a taste of my driving action today. And I'm glad I didn't blow it. People don't know that I get nervous when I drive. I guess it's because I'm still a novice driver. But I'll grow out of it. My driving instructor told me that it's normal to feel anxious by the way.

Kitsune-san looks like she's having fun. I knew I made the right choice of letting her come with us during the Christmas break. Our home's ordinary. Isn't she bored? Fortunately, mom and dad made the right call of having a get together bonding time today. Instead of dad, they wanted me to drive. I'm sure dad only insisted because he's lazy.

So off we went. The mall was first. I don't know why they'd go to the mall at this time. Aren't they tired from all the parties before? Still, it's boxing day. I bought myself a pair of new sneakers. And that's it. If only there was a boxing day for car accessories. There wasn't any in the mall. Why in the world not?!

After getting tired of walking around, me and dad said that we'd like to get a massage. And we left mom, Kana-chan and Kitsune-san. They called and said that they wanted to have a spa themselves. Good. Afterwards, Kana-chan wanted to go skating, but we changed our minds when we looked at the multitude of people in the skating rink. I guess we were all tired of being in a crowd. It can't be helped. The alternative turned out to be bowling, and surprisingly, there weren't much people in the bowling alley.

3 against 2, huh? Mom and Dad decided to team up. And they won.

I wouldn't expect that mom and dad wanted to go for karaoke next. We did. And until now, Kana-chan and I are wondering what just happened.

Finally, before going home, we settled for a buffet instead of an expensive dinner. Just the word expensive turned off everyone. We went to the buffet near my campus. I knew the roads like the back of my hand and it felt cool because it felt like I was the boss. Mom and dad wanted to be stubborn and put Kitsune-san on the spotlight. They interviewed her like some celebrity. They asked her about what she does. I thought they knew already what Kitsune-san does for a living. They were surprised when they heard that she writes novels.

When we came home, I had an idea. I'm a literature student, right? I might end up writing books in the future. So what if I got started early? I mean, it's going to be a new year and so I need to have some sort of target achievement. I've always wanted to write a romantic novel however cheesy it sounds.

INSERT TITLE: the after party?

Before I forget, Merry Christmas, everybody!

I'm so tired. I'm just happy that everything went as planned. The Christmas party was really crazy. Crazy fun. Crazy good. To be honest, I was very nervous, because we pushed through with the idea of bringing loveones along. The Hinata Sou filled up so fast. Shinobu-chan's mom and dad were there.

Shinobu-chan was really happy that they made it. I wasn't really sure how we'd accommodate Kaolla-chan's family as they're royalty. Fortunately, they were very nice. They even participated with the party games. Sara-chan and Seta-san were there, but they had to leave first, because Seta-san plans to bring Sara-chan with him to work. Sara-chan insisted, actually. Maybe it's because she knows what happens during the holiday season. Naru and her sister joined us. Her parents were on vacation themselves. Kentaro was in-charge with the fireworks, and it was awesome. Mutsumi-san stayed over, and we talked about a lot of things like what will happen next year. She's pretty excited. I wonder where Masayuki and Shirai went after the party; I'm pretty sure they had other parties to attend. Aunt Haruka left really early, but no one could beat her in the karaoke machine. As for me, I'm happy that the party was a success.

So it's Christmas eve. Guess where I am! Home! We planned to set the date for the Christmas party early, and so everyone can go home and retreat to their families during Christmas. We usually do it every Christmas season. Everyone in Hinata Sou goes home and goes back before New Year's.

"Hey, Keitaro! Join me until midnight! Come on!"

"Kitsune-san! I told you to knock before coming in--"

"Kitsune-san, this is oniisama's private place of refuge and--" And now Kanako's here. I want to relax!

"It's fine! It's fine! We'll just hang around in your Oniisama's room! Genius, huh?"

"Well... it is warm and cozy in Oniisama's room."
