Reawakening My Craft In Storytelling
My story idea of an alternate universe has long been overdue. I have slacked exceedingly in this TO-DO; and it's about time to get it going.
This story idea will kick-off in an epic fantasy series with a working title TROPICALIA. It will mainly be a story about Parads - the guardians of nature. But will later progress to mythological tales as soon as the five-book series will be completed. Hopefully, ample inspiration will come down to me to realize the epic.
Although, my full-length romance novel The Album is still stuck in the fifth chapter, my first successful romance short story Not Just Once, But Twice shall serve as a driving force to finish the former. Everything shall go in places, I must believe.

I would like to believe that this year is going to be a jack-in-the-box year for me. A year full of surprises -both wonderful and not so wonderful.
My Yahoo Mail accounts and Facebook account were recently phished ny online money scammers which resulted to the deactivation of my Facebook account. Frustrating as it was, I was forced to create a new account since Facebook's technical support didn't take heed of my reactivation request immediately. Yet, just when I had thought that having my original account restored is a hopeless possibility, Facebook indeed reactivated it. Although their very slow response and action was extremely frustrating, I must say.
As the new year embarked, my mom and I had an unexpected fight over a petty issue. And this was exactly one year after we had a new year reconciliation over a worse issue. This resulted to huge and disappointing decisions. Thankfully, we managed to reconcile our differences in less than 24 hours. Albeit the decisions made already final.
And just when I thought that my heart needed to take a break from the romantic impulse this year, a new romance came rushing tempestuously to the doorstep of my heart-shaped organ. The departed year had been more extreme than a roller coaster ride when it comes to matter of the heart. After three bad flings, two heartbreaking break-ups and one internally hemorrhaging misunderstanding with an MU, I thought I had to learn how to be single again. But off came this one beating heart in the New Year's Eve. Although a petty altercation had flared up. So let's see tomorrow if this will still come and go.
When It's Over
As I've mentioned yesterday, my partner and I had a petty altercation. After sleeping over the issue, we both realized that the coupling is not a good idea at all. But no grudge and no fight in this one whatsoever. Just an admission of the reality.
I guess I'm bound to push through with the initial decision I had made before the prior year bade it's farewell - that is to be single for this new year and for the rest of it.

Phishing Scams
I couldn't believe that with my vast knowledge about the internet I allowed my email accounts to be hacked ny online money scammers, causing me problems in my Facebook account then and losing my Hotmail and InMail24 email accounts.
Retrieving my Yahoo Mail accounts were easy. However, since, my Hotmail and InMail24 have a vis-a-vis alternate email address, they're now in the good hands... err... filthy hands of the hackers, tarnishing my good name... grrr!!!
So, to all internet users out there, let me share you this important thought. If you receive any suspicious notifications asking for important account or contact details disregard it. Or better yet, consult or report it to your mail server or account customer service.
The picture below is one very good example:
