    Note Title: Binging Novels
    The last chapter I was on was chapter 88. The current chapter updated was chapter 211.

    I didn’t feel like reading. I didn’t think it would keep me hook. But I went ahead and opened chapter 89.

    The spell began weaving its magic. Chapter 89 shifted to chapter 90, 91,92—the Magic was getting stronger. I kept telling myself, just one more chapter—just one more. I looked up at the corner of my smartphone. It read 6:30am. I felt an aching headache, my eye balls were ready to pop out, and an appointment to make at 11am.

    I regret thinking I wouldn’t be trapped. I wasn’t just plain stupid, I was a fool to overestimate my will to resist temptation. I’m a veteran at this—this novel binging trap. I just don’t learn my lesson.

    Note Title: In My Living Room


    I had switched off the living room light and turned on low dim setting for the LED string lights hanging around my four walls. My living room was beautifully lit like a firefly light show. I walked back to my sofa and snuggled in my comfort blanket. I played some smoothing music on my phone and placed it an arm reached away on my coffee table. I laid down and pushed against the sofa like a dog rubbing its back against muddy sand. A moment later, I finally settle in and closed my eyes. My breathing soften and I was starting to doze off.


    10 seconds later, feeling the urge; I opened my eyes: what the hell—


    Towering over me, stood my little sister with her bed hair up and out; a total disarray.


    Ah-man, I almost had a heart attack.

    Stay tone, I’ll update this personal note story telling of mine every now and then as urge comes.

    And then when you managed to stop, you just somehow forget the novel's existence altogether.
