I wonder how it feels
To have someone worried for you when you're sick
To have someone be there for you when you're sad
To be enveloped in big, strong arms.

I wonder how it feels
To be loved by many
To be adored and stalked
To be the best in one's eyes.

I wonder how it feels
To be rich beyond doubt
To sleep in a bed
With a canopy overhead.

I have always wondered
What my life would be like
If I was those kinds

But now I'm grateful
And thoroughly satisfied
With being no on else
But me.

A/n: Okay, okay. I know I suck at these poems, but it's just so fun. XDD

A Prince Charming is known to be perfect
A Prince Charming is known to be rich
A Prince Charming is supposed to save you
From an evil, wicked witch.

But my Prince Charming isn't perfect,
Yet he's the only guy for me.
My Prince Charming doesn't own a mansion,
But he fills my heart with glee.

My prince charming wouldn't be able to find any witches
But he's found me--his counterpart.
But My Prince Charming governs a kingdom,
A kingdom called "My Heart."

A/n: Did I just write that? OAO

"Sometimes I wonder how rich people live; of course, I know about their countless money, their beautiful house(s), and--sometimes--their desire to be free.

But we really don't know, do we? We have no idea what these people think about and how their rich minds work. Do they wish to be free, like the ones we have watched on TV? Or are they satisfied with their lives and look forward to every day?

If we just sit here, dawdling and dreaming about asking them these questions, then nothing would be accomplished, so I decided to represent all of us and our unwavering minds and interview one of the richest persons in the world."

http://www.peteranswers.com/ <---Have you seen this site before? Have you been a victim of one of your friends who knows the secret? Well, now, you'll be able to trick your friends with this prank site.

Le Secret Derrière Peter Answers!--Revealed!


The secret is in the first box, the Petition Box. It is where you're supposed to put "Peter, please answer" or something, but haven't you wondered why Peter needs a Petition? It's because he needs to put the answer somewhere--and the Creators decided that a Petition box was more suitable.

Try typing a period "." in the Petition Box. What do you see? Let me guess. It's the letter "P." Now, continue typing with whatever you want to type and what do you see? Try typing a question in the Question Box, click "OK" and the word that shows up is the one you typed in the Petition Box.

EXAMPLE: {Because everything is much more easier with an example}

  • I type ".dog:" in the Petition Box. {Tip: Try to complete up to "Peter please answer", so your victim wouldn't be easily fooled}
  • In the Question Box, I type "What is my favorite animal?"
  • Can you guess what shows up?
Now that you've learned the secret of this site, it's time for you to spread the word or get a victim of your own~

A/n: Hello again. :) I'm here, writing another one of my series that take so long to update. I wanted to try out this style and see if I can keep up with it.





I am me and you are you. We are all each other and no one can be any other person, except for themselves. If you wanted to be me, that cannot be arranged for each of us have our own selves and we cannot change them like we change our clothes. If I wanted to be you, it would also not be possible, for I am me and I can never be you.

That is why I make the habit of not admiring others. Admiration might lead to Idolization, which is obviously far worse than the former. Idolization is the act of imitating your role model, and in that process, you might accidentally or intentionally erase yourself. If you erase yourself just to become another person, what would be left of you?

Nothing.

You will not be that person, because as I have explained earlier, we are each other and can never be someone else. We are able to erase ourselves, but we are not capable of drawing our own selves. We cannot make an entirely different person from nothing.

We are not God.


God created everything from nothing at all. That is the main reason we call him God and the one of the few beliefs that scientists cannot counter, because they cannot build a theory that may explain how the world began with the right sets of evidences and proof.

We are dependent.


Not only on other people, but also in this world we live in. Don't deny it. Everything we see comes from nature; some may be artificial, but where do the components of these artificial things come from? Nature, what else? We are dependent on everything around us, for humans are weak beings. We call ourselves the most high of all the living things, but just like them, we also rely on our surroundings and the organisms that live in it.

We are arrogant.


When are we going to admit it? We are arrogant, selfish beings. We copy other people, just for the sake of being someone. We try to question God with our petty little reasons and cause an outburst within the peace of society. We try to act all strong and mighty, but inside, we are actually depending on everything and we owe our successes to the people, environment and the things around us.

This is my story. If you want to say that this is trash, go ahead. We have "Freedom of Speech" anyway, so go ahead, say whatever you want. But I will tell you this: I am me and I can choose whatever characteristic I want to have and you can never do anything about it.

Face the facts. I was, am, and will always be me, and you are eternally stuck to yourself, so why don't we just stop moping around and face the facts? After all, you can never be me. ;)

A/n: OhmyGosh. Did I write that? It feels so...offensive. >< I can't believe I was able to write something like that. I guess I was carried away. =.="  Well~ Until next time~! Bye Bye!

Here's Chapter Six. :) It's been a long time.

Rin’s POV
“What? You’re going away?”

A wave of emotions splashed away the hope inside of me. I looked at Len. I already lost one important person; I didn’t need to lose another one. Len was a very special person to me. He had lifted me up when I was in my lowest—I couldn’t bear seeing him walk away.

“Yes,” He looked down, so I couldn’t see his face. “My mother…My mother wanted to come visit Miku’s country…and it’s pretty far—“

“When will you come back?” I asked, not minding the roll of emotions that are probably already showing on my face.

Len raised his head and looked at me. There was a spark of emotion in his eyes, but I couldn’t read it; it 
passed by so fast.

“I don’t know.” He answered, looking back down. His hands were balled into fists as if he was stopping any 
kind of emotion to show.

I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry in his arms and feel his breaths. Like what happens in mangas. But I guess 
my life isn’t a manga, and it will never be. This is reality and reality was never easy for me. I guess Life must 
be laughing at me right now, laughing at my weakness.

I hate being weak. Being weak makes you lose the people special to you. I want to be strong. I want to 
protect everyone I love and never lose them.

But unfortunately, I was born weak and I guess I won’t be able to change that fact.

“Will… Will I ever see you again…?” I asked, nearly crying.

He bit his lip as if he knew this was coming, but was still surprised. He didn’t talk for a while. He closed his 
eyes and opened it a second later.

“I don’t know,” He said, as if he had been hiding in Fantasy all along and just met Reality.

I don’t know what he’s thinking. He wouldn’t look at me. I guess it hurts for him too, but not as much as it 
hurts me. After all, I am just a friend to him. But to me, he’s not just a friend, but, the one my heart chose.

“I-I’m sorry.” He said, his gaze still fixated on the ground.

It wasn’t his fault. It never was. Len never did anything wrong. He shouldn’t be apologizing right now. I 
wanted to tell him that, but my voice won’t come out. I don’t know if it’s because of the sadness or 
something else.

I’m so confused right now. I don’t even know what I’m feeling. I don’t even know what I should be feeling.

All I knew was that I started running. I didn’t know where, I didn’t know why, but I just did. I wanted to be 
out of Len’s sight before I start bawling my eyes out.

I’m sorry, Len. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to say goodbye. I’m sorry I’m such a coward that I can’t tell you my 
feelings. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to make you happy this time.

Len’s POV

She ran away. I guess I kind of deserved that. After all, I left her with such a simple reason. I don’t know if 
she even believes me. Maybe she’s abandoned all the trust she had put on me.

I don’t blame her if she hates me now. Her feelings are justified, while mine are not.

It’s not fair for her. I guess I hurt her a lot, judging from the face she wore before she left. She looked 
absolutely depressed. I had to contain myself from immediately hugging her and telling her comforting things, 
like she did to me for the last few weeks.

I’m such a weakling. I don’t know why, though. My mother definitely isn’t one and I guess my father isn’t 
one too, for mother would never marry a weakling.

I’m such a terrible person. I bring sadness to everyone around me. Everyone special to me always ends up 
either dead or miserable.

I didn’t want that to happen to Rin, because, after all, she was the only one who had ever let me feel that 
way. But it did happen. Maybe it’s my destiny. Maybe I was just meant to hurt everyone around me, even 
when I don’t mean it.

I don’t know what to do. I want to make her feel happy. I want to see her smile and happy again. I can’t 
stand seeing her this sad.

I found myself in front of my mother’s room before I knew it. Maybe my legs had their own brains and could 
sense my feelings, so they started walking here without me knowing it.

What the heck, Len. What are you thinking? Are you going crazy? I guess I already am.

I knocked on the mahogany door of my mother’s room and heard some soft footsteps. I guess she was 
sleeping.

“Name.” Came her voice from the inside of the room.

“It’s me, mother. It’s Len.” I answered, wondering what I should say.

She opened the door and let me in. She looks like she’s in a cranky mood. Maybe this isn’t the time to tell 
her my decision. Maybe I-I should wait until a few days later…

Stop being a coward, Len.

Wh-What? Who said that?

It’s me, duh! Your conscience.

What? I have a conscience?

Everyone does dumbo. Now let’s get straight to the point.

Uh…okay..?

Tell your mother that you don’t love Miku and to cancel the engagement and you and Rin can run 
away together and everyone lives happily ever after. And I won’t hear your miserable thoughts 
anymore.

What? I think I’m starting to lose my mind completely. I am talking to an imaginary voice in my head.

You are not going crazy. Get it? Now go and tell your mother—

“What do you want to talk about?”

I fidgeted nervously, contemplating if I should tell her or not. Or maybe I can make an excuse to pee or 
something, so I can think things over. And besides, I really need to pee right now.

“I don’t have all day, Len.” My mother insisted, rather impatiently. “I have a lot of things to do.”

“Uh, y-yes. You do.” I answered. “So I shouldn’t be disturbing you right now. Tell you what. I’m just going 
to leave right now—“

Mother raised an annoyed eyebrow at me. I gulped and prepared myself for the worst.

---

“It’s so unfair. It’s very, very, very, very, unfair! I can’t believe this is happening. It’s the worst thing that has 
happened to me!”

Hatsune Miku continued on complaining to her only friend, Mr. FluffyBear. She had been grounded for a 
whole month and doesn’t appear to be very happy about it.

She stomped her left foot and said, “And what did I do to deserve this kind of treatment? I rode a horse. I 
just rode a horse, Mr. FluffyBear! How could they do this to me!? It’s cruel, I tell you! Cruel!”

She sat on her bed and continued in her rants. Apparently, she rode a horse to the next town and back 
again. She had been gone for four hours and her parents were terribly worried. Thus, she was grounded.

“I wish Rin was here…” Miku said. “She would know how to cheer me up…”

Miku stood up, not wanting to be swallowed by her sadness. She peeked through her bedroom door and 
when she was certain that no one was there, she quickly tip-toed toward the kitchen, where her ticket out of 
the castle waits. Yeah, she’d be grounded again when her parents find out, but it would be simply boring 
just sitting in her room. And besides, Mr. FluffyBear is probably tired of hearing her complaints.

‘I’m going to go someplace far away.’ She decided. ‘Somewhere my parents can never find me and 
where I can stay forever and ever!’

Miku smiled at her thought and finally succeeded getting out of the castle, without anyone noticing her.

I bet I’d meet a prince there too. Someone who would give all his time for me, would never leave my 
side and would love me forever and ever!’

Chapter Two: The Engagement

It was a partly cloudy afternoon, but the sky showed no signs of rain, so Rin decided to visit her mother’s grave. Len had something to do, but promised to meet up with her later. It was the very first time Rin went there alone, but she could manage. She’d managed to get this far without breaking down and it was all thanks to the prince.

Rin’s POV

“Len-sama really is a nice person. He never gets mad at me when I make mistakes,” I said, facing my mother’s grave. “Even though he’s busy, he always finds time to talk to me.  Mother, I don’t really understand this feeling, but whenever Len-sama’s with me, I feel safe.”

There was suddenly a soft breeze and I know that wherever mother is, she’ll still continue supporting me.  
smiled. I don’t feel the endless pain I felt days ago.

I always thought that when my mother dies, I would never be healed, but I guess I thought wrong. My life 
was so simple when my mother was still here. I would just occasionally help with cleaning and stuff. Now, 
my life is much more complicated, but with Len-sama with me, I’m going to be fine…I hope.

“I need to go now,” I said, standing up, “Len-sama says he has something urgent to tell me.”

I left with a smile on my face.

Normal POV

“Rin…” Len said, looking down.

“What? Hurry up.” Rin said, getting impatient, “I have several chores to do. I also have to—“

“I’m going to be engaged soon.”

Rin looked up at Len. There was this sad look in his eyes that made Rin think he didn’t like the girl. But still, 
Rin had to support him in whatever he does. She wants him to be happy. She knows he can choose for 
himself and he has the ability to reject the offer if he didn’t want to do it.

And so, Rin smiled at him and said, “That’s great! Who’s the lucky girl??”

Len was disappointed. He didn’t want to marry the girl, but he didn’t have any valid reason to reject the 
engagement. But still, he doesn’t want to show Rin that he’s sad. He wants Rin to be happy, so he needs to 
smile too.

“Her name’s Miku, the princess of the neighboring kingdom.”

“I know her!” Rin said, “I saw her picture somewhere. I heard she’s really nice, too.”

“Yeah, she is.” Len said with less enthusiasm in his voice, “We’re childhood friends.”

“That’s great!” Rin exclaimed, “I can’t believe you’re getting married to a princess! Well, it’s not really 
surprising because you are a prince, but if it’s me, I wouldn’t have believed it. Congratulations, Len-sama!”

“Woah. Woah,” Len said, “I think you’re taking things too fast. I’m not even married yet.”

“Sorry,” Rin said, “I just can’t believe it.”

“Yeah, me too.” Len looked down suddenly

For a while, there was an awkward silence between the two of them. Both of them were afraid to talk due 
to different reasons. Rin didn’t want the hurt to increase. The moment Len said ‘I’ and ‘engaged’, she 
suddenly felt an unexplainable hurt in her heart. Len couldn’t find anything left to say. He was afraid to face 
the truth. He didn’t want to face the truth.

As the days went by, Len and Rin grew more distant. Len had stopped visiting Sachiko’s grave with her. Rin 
would often hurry on to do different chores when he approached. They didn’t understand why, but they both 
needed some time alone.

One day, while Rin was buying some things the castle needs, she bumped into a blue-haired guy.

“Sorry.” Kaito said as he helped the blonde girl up, “I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.”

“It’s…Okay...” Rin said, as she collected the fruits she dropped due to the fall. Kaito helped her.

“I’m Kaito, by the way.”
“I’m Rin.” Rin said, awkwardly.

“Hmm…” Kaito said, rubbing his chin, “I know practically everyone here, but I’ve never seen you before.”

“Oh, well. There must be a really logical explanation to that,” Rin said, obviously hurrying.

“And what may that logical explanation be, Rin-chan?” Kaito asked. Rin flinched at the honorific. Only her 
mother calls her that.

“Just Rin. Please,” Rin immediately said.

“Why?”

“Why do you need to know?”

“Because I’ve got nothing else to do—Hey, you come from the castle, don’t you? “Kaito suddenly asked.

“Yes, why do you need to know?” Rin asked, rudely.

“Just curious,” Kaito said and winked at her.

“Don’t you dare stalk me,” Rin warned. According to Kaito, she’s so cute!

“Why would I do such a thing?” Kaito asked in a teasing matter.

Rin growled at him before proceeding back to the castle.

‘Interesting’ Kaito thought.

As Rin walked back to the castle, she suddenly felt like someone was following her. After a few more 
minutes, she knew there was somebody there.

“Who are you and why are you following me?” she demanded. Of course, if it was any other girl, they would 
have run away by now, but Rin was Rin, and that’s how she responds when somebody follows her.

Suddenly hands covered her eyes and mouth and she felt dizzy…

I think I forgot to put this here before, so here it is! I was sick when I made this, so it may not be very good.

I first heard about this book from my classmate. I borrowed it for a little while--since I was bored and had nothing else to do--and was immediately hooked up on it. Unfortunately, my classmate's book is pretty old and some parts are already ripped out. So I went hunting for it and found it in one of my favorite bookstores. I began reading right away, even after my mother scolded me for reading this instead of my Science Textbook.

This is dedicated to my wonderful friends. Hope you enjoy. (Fuuko-chan, Lunar-chan, Jolene, Angel, Elijah, and Koizumi-chan) <---In no particular order. 


"Hi. Okay, I am not going to start ranting about how you're a b*tch copying someone else's work, so you better read this.


I read your profile. I read -TOOT-'s profile. I can see a large difference between the two. I wonder why. I see you enjoy cursing, but the only place I can see you curse is in your Author's comments and your profile. 


I'm not going to judge you. I am going to let my evidence and your conscience decide.


I have never been a fan of plagiarism, but I am not accusing you of it. Yet. Because I have not seen your side. I'm  not a person who goes on, accusing people she doesn't know of acts, just because she is being accused of other people. So, here's what I have to say:


Plagiarism. It's a very complex word. I had just only learned the meaning of that word last March, four months after I joined this site. It has been described as "one of the worst" and "shows how uncool, heartless, and uncreative you are as a writer." It is also "being a copy-cat" and "being unoriginal."


I am not implying that you did that, but if you did, I am sure Guilt will be busy eating you little by little, until you are nothing anymore. But if you didn't do that, then you must have a clear conscience and needn't worry about Guilt. Once again, I am not implying anything.


NOTE: This is not only based on my opinions, but I have also asked the opinions of some other people who I am not going to mention, because you might charge at them for helping me. So if you have some complaints about my review, direct it to me, not to anyone else."
I have omitted any names from the above and replaced them with "-TOOT-." It is for the benefit of the persons and because I respect their privacy.

I sent that to someone who is being accused of plagiarizing.  As I said in that review, I was not accusing her of plagiarizing, but in case she did, I gave her a great big deal to think about. Of course, there was also the "Guilt" technique, but I don't think it will work much if she is skillful in plagiarizing. {She would be used to those kind of things and wouldn't mind about guilt anymore.}

Plagiarizing--for me--is a crime against authors. In the world of authors, it would be the same as stealing money from a bank and using that money to buy things for your benefit. Now, that is just plain wrong. I have never been fond of stealing; I have experienced the feeling of having something stolen from you and let me tell you: it does not feel good. Stealing is a very sinful act and is even included in the Ten Commandments in the Bible. Of course, not everyone's Christian, but everyone knows that Plagiarism is immature, uncreative, unoriginal, unproffessional and completely wrong to do.

I am against plagiarism. I am an author, myself and I can imagine my works being copied off and being passed off as their own--I would probably act immature, sending hate mails to that person, reporting him, reporting him again, and send hate mails over and over. The point is, no one likes their writings--the writings they spent a lot of time on--to be stolen by some random person. And the fact that they try to pass them off as their own work and back it up with some ridiculous statement is just plain pathetic.

Plagiarism is the same as saying "This was -insert person's name here-'s work, but now it's mine. Deal with it." Do you think that's right? I don't. Plagiarism is something someone should be ashamed of, not proud of. I don't know where Plagiarists find the courage to defend their copied works and even accuse the accuser. To people who do that, that is a very old trick and usually doesn't work anymore, so please refrain from doing that.

If you think your work is plagiarized, visit this site. It may cost a little, but it's worth it.
