How To Not Have a Jowa (An Unhelpful Guide to Self Love)

by
Hyacinth Hues

 

  1. Be confidently beautiful about yourself. 
  2. Indulge yourself with new interests and hobbies. 
  3. Make your social circle wider by engaging with new friendships and re-kindling connections with lost friends. 
  4. Learn to do mundane tasks of the other gender. Stop gender bias. 
  5. Date and spoil yourself. 
  6. Don't settle for less just to feel love and affection. 
  7. Love yourself (with spicy toys.) 
  8. Companionship is overrated. Loving yourself is the new trend. 
  9. Compromise is only for schedules, not for people. Incompetency kills productivity. 
  10. Above all else, choose yourself.

Please do not associate the characters I write with their real life counterparts. While there might be resemblance here and there, the author does not intend to make anyone delusional in any way. Everything that is written in this fanfic is a pigment of imagination and is a result of my strive in improving my writing skills.

A/N: Yes, yes I know. I caved in and I'm writing something new even if I have so many pending stories. What can I do? Masyadong malakas yung nagrequest nito eh. :D

The list above is something I created out of whim kasi badtrip ako sa work kanina and it's actually a huge spoiler HAHAHA. I'm basically doing this as stress writing so less expectations, okay?

Also, this will be written in Taglish and another attempt with cliche fluff writing kaya nagwawala friends ko sa DM kasi angst writer daw ako. (I don't agree!!!!! and this is a proof. Hmmppp.) I'll show you guys.

Anyway, this is TEMPORARILY in subscriber's only mode but will definitely be moved in "Friends access" mode only pag natapos ko na yung pag add ng accepted from Friend Request Form. For new readers, you can understand more about why majority of my fics are hidden here. https://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1540553/rhi-s-writing-catalogue

 

Anyway, yun lang ang major chika for tonight. First chap should be posted around Friday if my schedule permits. And uh, happy reading! Let me know what you think so far. ^^

Chapter 6: It's just sad to think na some pretty girls like Rina here na hindi sila pangseryosohan. They feel like once nakuha na nila gusto nila sa kanya, they will leave her lang. I hope Winter or Jaemin shows her the treatment and love she deserves.

Thank you for the update, Rhi!

Chapter 2: Guidelines, self-help books-- I had more than a fair share of indulging in them, but this fic, with a stubborn conviction, I would classify as a revelation book.

Firstly, How to Not Have a Jowa, in my plausible assumption, reckon more towards and beyond the common way of scrutinizing or looking at the imminent situation to show how different straying factors connect to undermine our vigorous desire to live a more satisfying life without the need for a companion, a life partner that is. The writer's perspective in this fic encompassed authenticity and divulged assertiveness on certain life experiences, not just in terms of love but in general, in a way that was either surprisingly startling and most importantly, giving you a hopeful positive attitude.

The character's working on her insecurities not only showed her flaws, but the human's tendency to grow out of her previous or perhaps ongoing consciousness towards herself. The writer subtly introduced and engaged us in this short but fascinating take of how she gleaned her insights centered on living a wholehearted and thrilling life, again: independently.

Most self-help books have those moments where you got a "huh, that doesn't quite resonate and apply to me" vibe and force you to proceed on reading more so you can find more situations you can relate into. But that was not the case here. It's more like a eureka type of vibe— that "ah ha!" moments that were susceptible to scaffolding the elements where the character functioned not just as a manual on fixing an out-of-balance life, but a set of a powerful example for a fully engaged and connected life. A revelation, indeed.

Note: This is exclusive for the first two paragraphs of this chapter. I haven't read the rest yet.

Kudos, tor!

Chapter 1: This story has a different approach than most of the stories written by the same writer. I can't pinpoint it yet, but I like how the writer creatively meandered to this type of writing: light, fresh, and youthful concept.

The acclimatized introduction of the character was disregarded in a new provided route by imperceptibly showing their characteristics as the story progresses. It did show how the writer exceptionally advanced and developed her writing skills. It might be difficult to compare this from others, concept and style-wise, but the expansion of growth was adamantly evident.

It's always good to read lighthearted stories, so friendship banters were greatly appreciated. The usual exchange of conversations brought more natural and prevalent normalcy to the feeling of being at home: comforting, refreshing, alleviating, a breath of fresh air. To know that the main character also had her own apprehension and being skeptical to what other people, especially her friend, always say about her physical attributes, felt like a pat on someone's (reader's) back. Again, comforting.

The main character's self-realization and discovery might inspire how people should treat and appreciate themselves and intuitively react to how people identify and only grasp a little understanding of how basic human decency works.

Let's bring it forward to how the main characters' first meeting was a good attempt for humor. It was adorably chaotic. The mix and match of how their characteristics connect was satisfyingly appealing.

"Be with someone who makes you feel beautiful without having to try." was a substantial and needed encouragement to everyone.

This story is not just pure fictional. It tells a quarter of someone's realistically deliberating situation; an inspiration and a confident endeavor of how women should support each other.

Excited to see how this story will progress.

Kudos, tor!
