I'm In Love With A Yokai [On-Going]

Yokai's History

Yōkai- (妖怪, ghost, phantom, strange apparition) are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits and demons in Japanese folklore. The word yōkai is made up of the kanji for "bewitching; attractive; calamity;" and "spectre; apparition; mystery; suspicious".They can also be called ayakashi (妖?), mononoke (物の怪?), or mamono (魔物?).

-----

In the Early 14th Century, where all is at peace and prosperity in Ancient Japan, a Yokai was born from a Geisha's happy emotion and that Yokai was named as Hakuji. He was once isolated in the darkness of the Geisha's thought but one day, he finally sees the light that he's been dreaming of many, many years ago. Hakuji was a joyful and a cheerful Spirit that always keeps his creator with a vibrant mood. He's a very active socializer and always communicates with his fellow Yokais. He always spreads smiles and cheerfulness to everywhere, resulting in a happy and light mood in everywhere that surrounds him.

Hakuji is very much different from the other Yokais. He's a Yokai in human form, with the physical features and feelings like the humans we encounter everyday. Not like the other Yokais he know, with deformed heads and extraordinary physical features, like they have fangs, different skin color, very long limbs and nails, and such. He was born by a Joyful Human Emotion, while the others were born as a result of fear, hate, anger, envy, and other negative sides of human emotions. Hakuji was a special Yokai, totally. The only feature that they all have in similar is they all have the blue flare surrounding their whole bodies. It some kind of flaring aura covering their bodies. And obviously, Yokais can not be seen by the naked eye, like the common spirits and ghosts we all know. They are invisible to us, but only, the person who has the Gifted Eyes will see the Yokais, just for him or herself.

Everything went well, until that day comes, the day that her creator died. That was such a sad event, to the point that Hakuji can't make a smile anymore. He just stays at a small corner of the Creator's House, absent-minded, no emotions, not crying. He can't cry because he was born as a happy Yokai. And he just stays and sit there for 300 years.

But one day, some strange feeling bumped him, and this makes him goes out of that corner and take a glance again at the outside world. He hopes to see some good things after 300 years, but what's happening in that moment is very much different from what he's expected.

Modernization invaded everyone. They do not believe in Yokais anymore, and the Yokais will be forgotten, resulting to the death of Yokais. Every Yokai he sees is on the ground, suffering death, waiting to be diminished bit by bit. Hakuji can't take what's happening, so he run away. To where he don't know, and where his feet will take him. He travels for 200 years. He ran, he rides a Galleon. He travels everywhere to find his happiness again.

Until he arrived in a small city, to a place where women dressed with very long gowns and holding a fan, and men have farmer hats in their heads and they were holding a strange axe he never seen before. He don't know what place he's been.

He was in the Ancient and Old Manila.

2016, Present Day.

(Hindi ko na keri ang english. Mamamatay na ako, kaya tatagalugin ko na. Umamin kayo, nakaka-nosebleed rin, ano? Wag na mahiya! Umamin na! Ahahaha)

Luneta Park is such a Great Place to visit. Feel na feel ko ang Rizal Feeling, at parang akong pumasok sa historical side ng Pilipinas. Bumalik yung masakit na ala-ala ng nakaraan at muli itong sumuksok sa puso at isip ko. Yeah, hugot ako.

Picture dito, selfie doon, at syempre, hindi mawawala ang Food Trip at Kain to the max. Hindi naman ako masyado concern sa body figure ko kaya lamon lang ng lamon hanggang mabusog. Kiber lang. Basta maganda, kahit mataba ka man, ay okay na.

Tulad ngayon, katatapos ko lang kumain ng Pitong stick ng Fishball, apat na stick ng kikiam, tatlong plates ng siomai, at 2 bottle ng Mogu-Mogu. Oh di ba? Ang takaw ko. Haha.

"Awww. Busog na busog ako grabe." Hinimas-himas ko pa yung tiyan ko na lumobo na dahil sa dami ng laman. The nag-testing akong tumayo, at sa kasamaang palad, hindi ako makatayo. Help me, please. Hindi na ako maka-hinga. Bloated-much ako. Para na akong pufferfish na walang mga spikes.

Nakasimangot na ako dahil hirap na hirap akong tumayo. Tapos wala pang pumapansin sa paghihirap ko. Psh, badtrip. Bakit kasi mahilig ako mag-lafangs? Iyan tuloy, problemado ako ngayon kahit sa simpleng pagtayo lang. Haaayy.

"Please... Everyone? Tulungan ninyo ako. Ple----" I suddenly stopped dahil may nakita akong bagay na nagpa-shining shimmering ng mga mata ko. Parang nakakita ako ng isang Angel at parang sa isang iglap, natunaw lahat ng kinain ko. Ang layo nito sa kinatatayuan ko pero pero nakuha pa rin nito ang matutulis kong mga mata. Kaya hindi namalayan, tumatakbo na pala ako ng mabilis papunta sa target ko.

"Emerged! ICE CREAM!!!"

I ran directly through the Ice Cream Cart sa sobrang bilis na makakaya ko, at parang wala ng bukas. Tumalon ako ng bakod, umiwas sa mga batang madadaanan, gumapang sa damuhan, at nag-dive sa putik. Just kidding. Grabe naman yung nag-dive sa putik, hindi ko naman gagawin yun.

Mga 500 meters ang tinakbo ko at after lang ng 40 seconds, narating ko na agad ang target. Hindi naman halata na sobra akong desperadong makakain ng Ice Cream, ano? Para akong Cannibal na hayok sa laman ng tao. Hayy, I can't believe myself. Obssessed na ako sa Ice Cream kong mahal.

Why do you care ba? Ang sharap kaya ng dearest ice cream ko. Hihi. In love na ako sa kanya. Wieee. Di ko ito ipagpapalit kahit sa Ex-boyfriend kong sira-ulo.

Parang nag-slow motion ang lahat habang papalapit ako sa aking dearest Ice Cream. Slowly, I walked to the Ice Cream Cart with sparkling eyes pa. Parang nakakakita ako ng sparks at fireworks sa paligid. Parang in love na ak----

Oh my gulay! May nagnanakaw ng Ice Creams ko

Isang lalaking nakatalikod sa akin, at walang ano-ano ay kumuha siya ng tatlong Ice Cream sa cart at sabay-sabat na binuksan ang mga ito. Then nakita kong isa-isa niyang dinilaan ang bawat ice cream at base sa galaw ng katawan niya, sarap na sarap ang loko sa tatlong pinakamamahal kong ice cream na hawak niya. Pero ang nakapagtataka, hindi man lang siya sinisita or pinapagalitan ng Vendor, kasi yung vendor ay cool lang at parang walang nakikitang nilalang sa harap niya. Ano yun? Multo lang tapos ako lang ang nakakakita sa kanya kasi may sixth sense ako?

Kukuha pa sana siya ng isa pero lumapit na ako sa kanya at hinawakan siya sa balikat. Nabigla ako kasi parang humawak lang ako ng hangin pero mas nabigla ako sa nasaksihan ko.

Harujusko! Si koyang Ice Cream Stealer! Nagliliyab! As in literal na nagliliyab! Nagliliyab ng kulay-blue na apoy! Wahhhhh! Help me please!

At ang masama pa niyan ay.....

WAAAAHHHHHH! KASAMA YUNG KAMAY KO SA NAGLILIYAB!!! WAHHHHHH!!!
