So the basics...

Name: Ria. But I like the name Rei (means soul in Japanese). You guys can call me either. Just don't call me Riri or Rei-rei or anything else. I'm going to kill you if you do.

Gender: Female. And definitely proud of it.

Age: I'm fourteen!!...I don't want to grow old...

Birthday: The only thing that you'll get out of me is that it's on March.

Residence: Philippines. If you want me to be anymore specific you're a stalker.

My deviantART: XxRinkoxX.deviantART.com, mostly filled with drawings (of course). There are poems, original stories and quotes, too.

I loved this poem so much I decided to paste it here :D Inspired by a short drabble by AngolMoaChan.

Bravery

He stands there firm and tall

An object glistening in the palm of his hands

His eyes blazed, shining against the light

There was no fear, no hesitance

She sits there patiently

Hands neatly placed on her lap

Her eyes unwaveringly looking out the window

There was no fear, no hesitance

He faces the pain, the blood, the agony

Not once did his limbs falter

He will face death without ever looking down

There was no fear, no hesitance

She faces the worry, the grief, the tears

Not once did she pass a day without smiling truthfully

She will face reality without ever looking away

There was no fear, no hesitance

He lets himself shed blood

Hurt aching every part of his body

He keeps his head up high

There was no fear, no hesitance

She lets herself shed tears

Hurt aching every part of her heart

She keeps her smile right there

There was no fear, no hesitance

He will not stop fighting

Knowing he may lose his life after all this

But he will not stop protecting

There was no fear, no hesitance

She will not stop hoping

Knowing that all she loves may as well perish

But she will not stop praying

There was no fear, no hesitance

He has courage coating every fiber of him

The heroism that is willing to sacrifice himself

For those who he loves

There was no fear, no hesitance

But there is a good deal more amount of bravery

To patiently wait for those who she loves

Even though they may have already died

There was no fear, no hesitance

Fifteen Facts About Me

1. Sorry if I’ll offend any of you guys or anything but, I have a deep hatred with boys and not-so-straight people. It’s nothing personal or anything, really. Just...something I feel, to put it bluntly. So yeah, I totally see myself growing into an old, lonely bachelorette.

2. But I really don’t care about that. I don’t wanna actually fall inlove and all that. I mean, sure, I sometimes end up daydreaming my own love story, but I don’t actually see myself in that in real life. So hey, I’m gonna become a spinster, but so what? I don’t really care.

3. I have an over-sweet tooth. I eat vanilla icing that’s practically even sweeter than condensed milk atleast once a week. I put too much condensed in my food that when my aunt thinks it’s way too sweet, I think it tastes bland.

4. I have very good knowledge about stuff even though I don’t really watch or play, or even haven’t. And they all come from fanfiction :D.

5. (Pokémon) And since I don’t really watch them, I first thought that Paul was Kenny. It’s weird, that for the whole, what, month? two? or something, I thought that what I was reading was Penguinshipping, when in fact, it wasn’t. Haha, so if it wasn’t for that huge mistake, I wouldn’t be the Ikarishipper I am today.

6. The one thing I was really, absolutely obsessed about was Card Captor Sakura. As in watching-nothing-but-that (for two whole years—no kidding) kind of obsessed, as in researching-everything-you-can-know-about-it kind of obsessed, as in buy-all-of-its-merchandise-that-you-see kind of obsessed. It started as an easy kind of like when I was six, went to this kind of obsessed when I was eleven, and when I was cut off of my beloved television, the obsession slowly disseminated into just respecting the show.

7. (Naruto) I found out and became an instant lover of Nejiten when I read a story about them (can’t remember the name :P). Initially, I was a fan of Leeten (What? It was canon!!...For an episode...But still!!) but then this story interested me and it made me fall inlove.

8. I solely use the internet to read fanfictions...Well okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but really, I breathe fanfics like almost everyone in this site does. It’s practically my day and night (...well, if I was allowed to use the computer during weekdays...).

9. I daydream about twice as much as I read fanfics. There was never a day I don’t daydream atleast an hour, if it was a school day. If there were no classes, then it would be atleast three. The most would be in the range of eight to eleven. I even do it unconsciously most of the time. When I’m bored, when I’m eating, when I’m waiting, when I’m not waiting, when I’m reading (seriously, I do. And most of them aren’t even related to what I’m reading), when I’m drawing, and so on and so forth.

10. I absolutely hate people who insult or badmouth other pairings, or people who support them. I’m not saying I’m not biased or anything, actually I’m a whole, whole lot biased. But I don’t come around bashing other people who like things I don’t. I find it stupid, self-centered, and downright mean. So please, if you do that (I’m not saying your heartless or anything, just a bit cruel to people), atleast say sorry or something. It might actually hurt someone, y’know?

11. I’m against racism, sexism, and any other kind of discrimination. It’s just like the other one. No one’s better just because they’re white, or an adult, or from some kind of religion, people have no right to judge like that.

12. Tards make me want to like the things they’re against, no matter how much I don’t. I’m talking about those people who are so obsessed they come up with stupid reasons to back them up. I understand that you hate slash love whatever it is, but be mature about it. Don’t go about saying nonsense that sound childish (I’m not to offend you, okay? These are my thoughts.) just so people would see what you see.

13. I have Self-Esteem issues. Meaning: there are times it’s so big, you need a gate to get it in, and other times, it fits a mouse hole. It’s one of the many examples of traits I have that totally clash with each other. Just like how I could be funny and all smiles one day, and feisty and grumpy the next. Or how I could be so noisy one time, and so quiet another. And many, many more.

14. I can never, ever, ever write a Chaptered Story. I mean, sure, most of the ideas I come up—or daydream for that matter—are only for fics that are chaptered, and, yeah, I wrote the first chapter of Plastic Cover of Marzylicious (or in other words, my best friend) and it sure was a nice cliffy, but I can’t. I’ve tried writing my own, but it only reached up to the fifth chapter (and the chapters would most likely range from thirty to fifty). My attention span cannot handle writing chapters, trust me.

15. Every hobby I have now has atleast something to do with technology, one way or another. I draw because of television, I read (well, mainly) in the internet, I began writing solely for FF.net, I listen to music in music players, and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Life would be meaningless without the beloved technology in my life.

I believe myself as a better critic than a writer. Besides the fact that I'm awfully blunt and a little bit harsh, I think I notice little things that could help make the story better. Not that I always know exactly what should be done and not, but I think I help others. I totally see myself as a critic more so than a writer.

Which leads to the question, Should I or should I not become a beta reader? I'm not sure I can do it, and sometimes I might just ruin the story or take it to a wrong turn. I give (harsh) constructive criticism, but I might do something wrong if I'm the one who's typing it. So I made a poll, and by the end of November (I have no idea why that month) if I get less than seven votes that I should, I'll disregard the idea and throw it in the trash bin. But if I do get, maybe, seven or more, I'll try to pursue it and weigh the consequences.

I enjoy all kinds of stuff. I pretty much read everything that catches my attention. From Peter Pan, all the way to Tekken, from Powerpuff Girls, all the way to Naruto. That's why I don't have a specific category at all.

But I usually read those that concern romance, or drama (angst, too, of course), since I'm just fourteen and I like those things. I'm not into Adventure much, I read, but not too often. I don't like Sci-fi much either, and I stay away from Horror and Crime. Everything else, I can give it a go. For as long as blood and stuff like that isn't too mentioned in the story. They sicken me to no end.

But, besides that, I'm a terribly biased person, as said on no. 10, when it comes to pairings. When I come to love/like a certain couple, I avoid stuff that go against it, not unless it interests me. Practically instinct to me, y'know.

I like reviews better than faves (disregarding the fact that faves usually lead me to great stories...). But I absolutely hate the common I love it, or the Cute!, or the Aww or whatever. I'd like to get that only, maybe, two times out of twenty. But, sure, you can review that, just not too much. I also like constructive criticism (especially that!) and flames (they're related to fire, for crying out loud!!). So flamers are alright for me.

And as for my stories, to be simply blunt, are pointless if you really come to think about it. There's no action or anything. It's all basically emotions and feelings and thoughts. I'm short on real actual situations with real actual happenings. Practically all my ideas are emotions. The only times I've ever thought of happenings are when friends ask me what should happen next. I can't start from scratch, no background, no idea, no whatever.

Well, that's all I got. Till the next story. :D
