Dan is Kira




Sakujo! Koroshite!

We went to watch Dan's declamation for their Midterm exam in Performing Arts this morning. He used the lines from the last few episode of Death Note. Woooh! Sugoi!

It's Not The End

Let's not talk about a possible ending, let's not think about it everyday...

This term is the term of all terms, the most crucial term, the determining term of this semester. I don't wanna think about it, but it can't be helped. With all the pressure I'm getting [you have to graduate already] the END is all I can think of. It may seem that I'm taking everything easily, but nobody, not one single creature in this wretched earth knows how much I'm suffering, not only the pressure but the loneliness, the criticisms, all forms there is of emotional wretchedness that I'm trying to cope up with. I'm trying to be strong, I'm trying my best to stay happy, to get away from the negativities, to cover up the ripples of subconscious disturbances in the ocean of my emotions. If things don't go the way they are supposed to go again, I will have to detach from the world again, And I don't wanna do what I did before again. I want to break my chains but not my bonds, and esp. not with my friends. They are my cornerstone right now. Baka nga they're my sole reason for sanity right now. [f*ck, I'm emo] Heaven forbid it. God knows what could possibly happen to me if I have to face this kind of storm again, alone.

If we never met, we wouldn't have to suffer...

The "end" is coming, I could feel it. I don't want it but subconsciously, I'm wishing for it. Life is what we make it, and if I should want it, I wouldn't have to wait to meet the end, I could end it all here. [No, don't get ideas, I'm not thinking of suicide. No way. Never] I'm suffering because I want everything, all at the same time. I suffer because I try to satisfy my desires, everything at once. Maybe, I could be happier if I could limit my desires rather than satisfy them, just like a certain quote from a certain someone that I read. But then again, how can you limit happiness? How can you be happy knowing you have limits?

To realize the value of one-second, ask a person who has survived an accident.

It was timely that Mheo should send this message about The Value of Everything; Last Tuesday night, my friend met an accident and it was the night before his birthday. He could have died in the accident but thank God! He suffered nothing more than bruises, wounds, lacerations, abrasions, maybe broken bones too. I'm just so glad, he's safe now. It's just like he said, the accident happened for a reason. But, well, I'm not going to delve into that reason because that's for him to ponder and we, all of us, have things [that happen for reasons] too, we just have to strive to survive to see beyond those reasons, and realize, and live the lessons life's trying to teach us. Or something like that, sorry if I'm not making any sense. I'm still under the spell of disorientation from the other day. Stress. Heehee.

On the lighter side.. Well, today was tiring. I don't have an exam scheduled today but I still went to school to work on my part of the thesis. I went to hang out at the kubo with the Genshis then at the office with my HF peops. I also joined some of the Genshi officers in their meeting with the college council presidents we're tying up with for G-Ken, then calamares foodtrip before we went home. Though I fear, so much, the end, I'm always glad to know I have these people to hold on to. I'm not that close to some people but just their existence reminds me that I'm still alive, that I have a life to live. At the moment, I have a direction I want to go to, a life to lead but the way is dark but these ningens are like fireflies in this darkness. I love you ALL! Kissu!

And if I should leave this lonely world behind...

I should leave a mark. Or maybe some special memory to those I met on the way. I wish I brought and left happiness to your lives when we met. I am glad to have met you all, I wish you're happy that you met me too.

 I'm not dying yet, Senti lang

Occultation

Malinaw ang kalangitan pero 'di ko makita ang buwan. Awww..

It started 3:52 in other parts of the world while it began 6:02 here in my side of Earth. It rained a little in the afternoon but the skies were clear again a few minutes after. I almost forgot. Good thing, I heard from the news that it started late here. I went out to check it but...ALAS! I can't see the moon anywhere. Aww, man! I could climb our roof and try to view it from there but I just can't find the moon anywhere. It's already two minutes before eight in the evening and the eclipse is almost over. Only less than a fourth of the moon left unlighted. The news say there will be another one next year. I guess I'll have to wait and I could still check the full moon later. I missed the eclipse. So, that's it.

I am usually hyper when it's full moon but today, I'm a little disoriented. Too many things running, going on inside my head. I'm thinking of too many things at the same time again. I don't wanna think about it 'cause it's stressing me out but I really can't think straight right now. Yeah, the heck. Like, what's new?

Oh, yeah. Ivy's party last Saturday was a blast.  The food was good,  we had lots of fun, the house is beautiful and Julian McMahon is so sexy. Hehehe. We watched Premonition [one of the videos that Ivy rented] and MAN! Julian is soooo sexaaay! I remember watching him as Cole Turner in Charmed years ago and he still has that sexy evilness/ evil sexiness in him. Oooohh.. HOTNESS! Hahaha. No, I'm not being a pervert. It's just that like any hot-blooded woman, I have simply wanted an object to crave [haha, Uninvited . Alanis Morisette], and he happens to be one of those things that I crave. Bwahaha! That's why I'm adding him in my Top Men list. So, yeah. The party was fun but I was aching all over in the morning. Haha. Must be the Twister game we had. Woooh! Man, bugbog ako. Hahaha. I had cake for breakfast, we left Ivy's home by 9am then we went to KFC @ SM Dasma for breakfast. I had to borrow money again. Haha, poor me. Anyway, so we went to stroll for a while. Take note, we haven't even taken a bath yet. Haha. They played at Quantum and I was already drowzy. I bought a bubblegum-flavored Fiorgelato ice cream, and man it as good. We left SM by noon and when I got home, I slept right away. Hahaha. [Oooh, before I forgot. There was this stone steps one the way to Ivy's and there are heart-shaped ones. Haha. Me and one of my friends would say Rabu while I step on every heart. Haha. Wala lang. It was fun. Hehehe

I want some things badly right now [KTS. Pass VB.net. Climb. CosPlay. Paint. Digital Artwork. Write]. And my desperation is killing me. Bummer, bummer on the wall. Who's the bummer-est of them all? Heck. Hahaha.  I really, really, badly want to perform at KTS but the problem is -- We have no drummer, though I can find some people to substitute, it's not much of a problem. What is, is that we're missing our lead guitarist. 'ASAN NA KAYO!!! Grrr.. I feel so freakin' desperate. There are only a few people that I trust in this. Shimatta! I'm making the initiative to gather my band together but to no avail. Why does it feel like I'm the only one making an effort in keeping the band together? I have lot of things to think about like how I can get a medical certificate outside school and pay for it because I can't get one from the school clinic which is free and it's freaking annoying, and I have the Chapter 7 of our thesis and upcoming defense to finish, and how in hell am I going to pass my programming subject, and how on earth am I going to get money for my CosPlay, and how much I need for the minor climb and the things I would need for it, and the concept for my creative shot for the graduation pictures photoshoot, and how on earth am I going to go to Divisoria to buy my props, and... Blah-blah. Those kind of things. I'm trying to fit everything in my busy schedule. But that's just it. The universe wants me to go on doing this, but the people I'm supposed to do this with is so not working with the universe. WHAT THE HECK?! 

*tooooooot*

Good news just came in. Hahaha. I'm talking to our drummer right now. Meaning, our only problem now is the guitarist. The Universe is with me.. Oh YEEEESS!!!

Okay. My mom bought me new slippers last Sunday and guest what. It stinks. Haha. It's cute because there was this bear design but it smells like rubber and the stink stings. It's made from rubber, what I mean is that it emits the smell of rubber. Man, sakit sa ilong.. Kaadik. Haha. Wala lang. Just thought I'd share. Hehe.

By the way, I love my new theme. Hehe. I tweaked the header a little, though. Well, don't you love it too? Awww... RAAABUUUUUU!

Well, I guess it's time to go now. I have to rest my tired mind and... Heck. I don't know what else I can do. So, yeah...

BYE-BYE!!!
*waves like Ichimaru Gin*

One Last Look




These are the paintings in the wall of my room. I did them some two or three years ago. Can you blame me for being bored? The photos of the first three paintings are posted in my DeviantArt, leigs.deviantart.com.

Now, why last look? 'Cause I'm planning to paint my room, hopefully when my dad comes back. I got inspired by the Hueys 'cause the gave their office a makeover and they did the painting themselves. And it's been a long time since I've drawn or painted anything. I think it's about time to make one, again. Hehehe.

Can't wait to draw and paint again...

Enjoy, people, enjoy!

Feeling ko tuloy ay na-desecrate ang bahay nila Ivy dahil dito. Hahaha! Belated happy birthday, Aybeechan!

Itago na lang natin sila sa pangalang: P at I.
P: You're as sweet as this cotton candy!
I: Aww, I know beybee..

Ureshii! Ureshii!

Mahaba-habang post ito kaya bago ang lahat: 'eto lang brethren, type NUVOTE WBOB CHONG then send to 29107 for all networks yan. One or more votes is much, much appreciated. Please help them out. Also, visit their site: thechongkeys.multiply.com. 'Di ako makapag-post sa Friendster Bulletin kaya dito na lang. Jah!

Even the stars say that I've been neglecting some important people in my life. I am always all over the place, busy with things, hardly seeing my friends and hardly hanging out with them, barely even talking to them except for the short greeting when I see them along the way. As much as I wanted to divide my time equally, I have time management problems. You see, things that I have to comply with makes me stay longer at one place and spending the time that I shouldv'e been spending at another place. After next week, I'll be adding more activities to my schedule and I'll be thrice busier than I am in the past few months. I just wish I could do everything, be everywhere I'm needed and where I want to be without having to sacrifice the others.

Another needless holiday. I've been stuck at home for the longest time this semester and I'm about to rot anytime now. I'm so glad classes are already resuming tomorrow. After the 27th, mamatay na ang maga-announce ng holiday! The heck. Ahaha. 'Yun lang, 'di ko na kasi maalala eh.

Tuesday, August 21
I got a message from Jheje last night. He's having a party today. Woohoo. I will never miss out on chances to celebrate my friends' special days, well, as long as I'm invited. Hehehe. Well, before that, of course I have a class to attend to. We were asked to work on our thesis. So.. Yadda-yadda.. Skip.. Skip.. Hehehe. It's a classmate's, Kenrick, birthday today too. I didn't expect it but I, we, were invited. He's a nice guy, unlike the others, but, of course, closer friends come first. The "others" were invited to his party too, and that would be a day spoiler. Hehehe. Well, I chose to be at Jheje's party. After class, I went to hangout in the office first since I still have to wait for Scott, who has a meeting. Laughtrip, soundtrip. Hehe. Ayos. Di ko maalala ang iba. Hehe. So, yeah, I was soundtripping and joking around with Rikichan and Pau-pau and the others but I left by 6pm when Scott called me on the phone to cross to the other side [West to East] already so we can go. As I was walking, I noticed the dusky sky painted pink, orange and blue. It was simply beautiful. These are the moments that make me wish I had a DSLR. Ang ganda, sobra. I took some photos with my cellphone, just to keep a memory of it. So, yun. I went to meet Scott and the others at the kubo. Haha. Ako na lang ang hinihintay. Haha, prima donna? Hehe. We went to Jheje's using only the directions he texted Scott and Shayne. Ayun, when we came there, Greg and the others already left. We missed them by five minutes. Hehehe. Enjoy naman ang party actually. Kain. Kwento. Picture. It was also Yaoi night. Haha. Pagbigyan na, birthday eh. Hehe. Ang saya and for sure, sumaya din ang birthday boy.. Or girl Hehe. Belated happy birthday, Jheje!

I was late for class again. Who cares? Anyway, we had our long postponed staff meeting today. The shame. Everyone was asked about the broadsheet's first issue and I asked about the part which I haven't read yet. Man! I read only some parts of the school paper and it was plain embarrassing. Oh, well. I guess I'll make up for it on the next publication. And promotions were announced. Kudos to Rikichan, Mica, Vanessa, Kuya Ros, Kuya Vic and Kenneth M!

For someone who claims to be a singer [band vocalist, solo performer, one-man choir member, haha], I am pretty lame. A need for an on-the-spot intermission number rose today and I just couldn't do it. If I wanted to show off, I couldv'e but the big problem is, I don't know anything. It's been 2 years since I had a radio and since I actually, seriously listened to radio shows. I would hear the radio from my brothers' room or on the road while commuting but it's been a long time, ever since I destroyed my radio tranceiver a few years ago out of 'bad temper', since I last listened to a radio. I don't know anything about the latest songs, I don't listen to music at home, not even with the pc because our soundcard's defective, and I only listen to songs/music that I already know. It's really a shame esp. when you know that a group of people's grade almost depended on you. Good thing, there was SALVATION. Hehe. They found another one to do the job. Phew! As much as I wanted to help, I cannot afford to embarrass myself again, at least not by going into a battle without being prepared.

Walang paglagyan, that's how I am today. Before getting into that 'intermission' situation, I was happily chatting with my friends at the other side of the 'world', until a 'call' almost changed my destiny. I got separated from my friends and after the sheer luck of being spared from such situation, I had nowhere to go. Something's telling me to stay in school a little longer but I just can't stay in one place alone. I went back and forth trying to look for any trace of my friends but their gone. Then, while I was eating calamares [street food, beybeh!] outside the campus, Mark and Robert went past me. Woohoo! So I went to hang with them for a while. Grabe. Restless day. Ewan ko ba. After a while, I went home then, 'yun na 'yun. 'Di ko na maalala eh.

By the way, Greg was the first one in the first ever Genshiken Member Hotseat. Saya, may live hotseat ym conference this Saturday kaya lang we'll be at Ivy's.

Long quiz. All the more I feel like the end is coming. The word TERMINATION kept ringing in my head. I'm losing faith. Seems like there's no chance to overcome this struggle to survive VB.net. I was trying to write something on my paper and at the same time I just want to run out of the room screaming. I studied but my conscious mind did its best to reject anything that can cause me negativities. How on earth am I going to pass the freaking programming subject? Naiisip ko si Orihime: I REJECT! Oh no. Pero seriously, parang Levy Chinbotsu [Sinking of Levy] na ito. Why does my life always have to depend on things where Math and Logic is needed. Haaay, ewan. Feeling ko hanggang Mid-year na lang ako sa HF. Shimatta!

I went to jog with Paul at the oval. Well, sabit lang ako. So, yun. I went to the office after class and found him finishing his article. We had our section meeting, it was raining and we had to wait before we could leave. Ang daming palaka. Hahaha. Actually, it can't be called jogging, it was more of not-so-brisk brisk walking. The moon was bright, perfect time to get senti. Wala lang. 'Yun. Kwento-kwento. Lakad-lakad, konting takbo. Pero 'di man lang ako pinawisan but I was very hungry. Ang tagal nung section meeting namin at ginutom ako. I was jogging with an empty stomach, buti 'di ako nahilo. Woooh! After finishing the 8 Lanes, we went off. We dropped by at LCDC. I thought 'di pa tapos ang Make-up BMC 2, and I was right. Wala, silip lang. Binati ang mga bagong kakilala: Marj, Anna, and Christian, and the others who were there. I went to check out on Patrick the Spartan too because he didn't attend BMC last Saturday, and the Make-up BMC 1 yesterday, and he wasn't there. Chika for a while. Oniisan was there too, of course I knew that, that's why I insisted that we check the class. Hehe. We went to 7-11afterwards for some snacks and there, in the middle of our snacking, Alain came. He went to Manila to buy Ethanol. Ayun, ang sarap nung seafood-flavored noodles na binili ko. Aiyeeeh!

May namumuong tensyon sa 'min ng isang taong hindi ko pa man lang nakakausap. Sino? Sorry, no name dropping. Siguro praning lang ako pero ang probabilities na tama ang aking hinala ay mataas. Hahaha. Ang masasabi ko lang jan... Who cares? 'Di naman kami close at ni hindi nga kami friends. Hahaha. Mang-isnab at maningin s'ya ng masama, hanggat gusto nya FOR ALL THE HELL I CARE. Babayu!

Friday, August 24
Age doesn't matter, esp. kung hindi halata. Hahaha. It's flattering how some people actually think I'm only 17. To my friends, I am a lolita. Hehehe. Wala lang. After class, I went to the office right away. Helped in putting double-adhesive tape on the posters. I did that all afternon. Man, kaumay. Ang dami. Sobrang antok ako. Laughtrip. Lunch break. Tape ulit. Woooh! I forgot what else I did today. Oh, yeah. We brought the CPU to ITC for assembling. Ganda ng specifications ng bagong layout PC. Hanep. So yun. After the endless taping, I still didn't finish. So, I left the others unfinished for the others to finish. Gagawa pa nga pala ng fliers. Skip. Skip. Yeah, I had Gino to go with me top post the posters all over the campus. Kapagod, man. Yadda. Yadda. Basta, 'yun. After all the yadda-yaddas. I went to meet my friends at the kubos. We went to our usual tambayan, 7-11 for some snacks. I had to borrow money from my friend because I'm already financially exhausted. I bought the same noodles that I bought the other day. Oishi! Hoohoo! So yun. We'll be at rocking Ivy's place. Slumber party. Weeeeh! Party-party!

I was just wondering, where has my life gone? Maybe it would've taken a different turn if I did the others things that I didn't do or maybe chosen the choice I didn't choose. Maybe, just maybe things would've been a lot better but than again, if things that happened didn't happen you wouldn't be here right now reading this post.

BOKU WA URESHII DA NE!

Too Long A Holiday

Stagnation is bound to destroy me soon. This feels like the longest time I've been away from school. I am a homebody but I hate being stuck at home when I really wanted to go somewhere else. That's what you get if you don't have money. You can't leave the house. Darn. I've been trying to write something since last night but nothing would come out. Feels like my thoughts and ideas have ditched me. I'm restless and I really have to write something. Anything.

I attended BMC [Basic Mountaineering Course] last Saturday. It started late but it was fun. Galing magturo nila Oniisan. They know what they taught by heart. Ang saya, listening to the lecture, and not having that much sleep the night before, I could say they make good teachers because if they aren't I would have fallen asleep. Hindi ako inantok. But, of course, ang kapal ng mukha ko kung matutulog ako sa klase. Last Saturday was fun actually, met new people, learned new things, had so much to look forward to, played CoD with my friends, food trip, window shopping, staring at Oniisan all day. Hahaha.

I woke up late this afternoon. Actually, something unexpected happened. COGIE WAS ON TV. Even saw photos from his birthday in Dawn's Multiply. Whoa. He's finally back, hopefully, for good. Man, he looks good as ever. Mabubuhay na naman ang Multiply site ko. Well, I have a Multiply site dedicated to him but it's for my personal consumption only but there is a preview of what you could possible see inside it on the homepage. Hahaha. In case your intrigued, it's ilovecogie.multiply.com,  go check it. Hehehe. 

So, what's new with my life? Nothing. It's actually getting old. And I'm so running out of ideas.

Thesis mode. It's almost time for defense. I'm doing Chapter 5, and some revision to our Chapter 1 and, oh, yeah, I was tasked to get the list of suppliers for our database. I hope to finish everything I have to finish before exam week, before OSS Students' Week, before KTS, before my, hopefully, 1st Minor Climb and before the G-Ken Concert. Woohoo! So much to do. Good thing, I'm done with the Palad promo materials that we're assigned to do. Hope, everything gets approved.

I was going to write something abominably sentimental about Shiawase-niichan again but I won't. The feelings, the thoughts, and whatever that is supposed to be there is there but I just can't write them down. Rampant chaos. I just can't keep my thinking in order. It's definitely because of the stagnancy of long school holidays. My brains not working well being just stuck here at home, watching tv, slacking off, most of the time doing nothing. I can leave for the mall but I can't 'cause I have no money. Aww, poor me. Stuck. Motionless. Immobile. Helpless. Restless. Bored. Hahaha.

BSB's coming back. The new album's coming out on October, the new website will be fully functional in two days. Can't wait. If their coming back here to tour again, I'd definitely come to see them again even without Kevin.

KTS is just around the corner. Still no response from my bandmates. I doubt if the 'other one' would still want to play with us [blah-blah] but the other 'other one' is.. I dunno. I want this gig and we just got to pass the screening. We've been playing in KTS for 2 years, and it's our third year as a band. I don't really know what I should be thinking.

I think, I've been up till morning for the last 2 or 3 days. No school, AGAIN, on Monday and then, the next Monday. Darn. My sleeping patterns are completely destroyed yet again. I, usually, have sleeping problems during vacation or exam weeks but now. Unnecessary holidays. Galit si Gloria kaya si Ninoy ay pinatay nang maaga. Hahaha.

What now? For someone who can't think straight, I wrote something long. Hehehe. I'm just talkative. I write a lot esp. about those things that I cannot say but, well, there's nothing much of that sort in here tonight just plain narratives of how my past days were. [Before I forget, I'm still obsessing on Julian Oh right now. Hahaha] Sorry, friend! Nothing mushy for today.

Man, my eyes are sore. Long hours in front of the PC and I'm still not done with my school work. The heck.

So, again I don't know how to end today's entry. I really have to go now. It's late and it early in the morning, half past two. I guess I have to press that Save & Publish button now and let the PC rest right after. Goodnight. Good morning. Bye.

  SEE YOU ALL ON TUESDAY!!!

Active Passivity

I knew I always wanted to do this. I had more peace than ever I had in my other undertakings. Things must be falling into place despite the chaos that makes my world go round. I was the DMS Orientation Seminar this afternoon feeling like: this is where I always wanted to be. Just sitting there listening to other people talk, I knew I was breaking free. I've been bound to concrete grounds for so long without really feeling the Earth on my feet. Now I will see the world how it's suppose to be seen. And with Shiawase-niichan there... Hehehe. Wala lang. Ayos ba?

I was going to tell you about last Saturday's Graphika Manila but I lost my post. Hehehe. But fret not, I'd still tell you aboutit but not that detailed. I can't write again what I already wrote and lost, okay?

* The host was.. Well... The host? Ugh, Who cares?
* The speakers were so COOL esp. Julian Oh. I love him already!
* That MK12 movie, History of America made me sleep, literally. I mean, the graphics and effects were great and all but story-wise... Go watch it and then you tell me.
* The venue was great [cozy and comfy, and cold], actually, it's so great, you could actually relax and fall asleep
* I got the speakers' photos and autograph except that of Paul Guadalupe [Guadakomeda] and Steve Tirona
* Galit si Kuya Vicbert sa Japanese at sa kahit anumang may kinalaman sa Japan. Ang galit na ito'y nagu-ugat pa sa panahon ng World War II. Grabe.
* Nagre-retouch ng make-up si Wella every five minutes, pag hindi naman s'ya nagre-retouch, tulog s'ya. Grabe din. Hehe.
* That coin binocular at MoA is so cool. Gino and I went to look at it and we saw this boatman which we can't see without the binox. Just imagine how far that boat was. Namangha ako.
* Nabitin ako sa lunch. Hehehe.
Hindi mahilig mag-picture si Mica at Sherwin. Promise. Hindi talaga.
* That Michael Young guy loves to swear. His faves are: F*** and Sh*t. Fush Ckit!
* Chris Lee of Asylum didn't have anything fancy on his presentation but, MAN!, he's so COOL!!!
* Did I say Julian Oh is cool? No, he's not. He's COOL and HOT. Whoa.
Steve Tirona was a former childstar in the US. He worked with Leo DiCaprio and he was part of Saved by the Bell. Man, I loved that show back in my gradeschool years. Yeah!
* I almost got bitten by a dog on my way out of our subdivision going to school that Saturday. The dog didn't even bark. Yesterday, I bumped into the same dog again and tried to bite me again. The dog must be tripping and tried to bite me out of doggy randomness. The heck. What, do I look like a walking chunk of raw meat now?
* Their guest bands aren't popular [or maybe I just don't know them] but good. Chill music, the ones that you listen to when you just want to sit back and relax. Sounds and Sinongsikat.
* There were many delegates, about a thousand. It took as some time to get in.
* We got goodie bags!!!
* Jumel, Mica and Sherwin won the raffle and I didn't. Darn.
* Ang saya at hirap kumain ng fastfood sa isang moving van.


  Cool + Hot = JULIAN OH

Before I went to the OrSem, of course, I have to attend my class first. It was blessings in disguise that we had a laboratory quiz. Man, I don't know anything. Hahaha. But having the quiz in two batches gave me an opportunity to take it earlier and be able to go to the OrSem on time. Well, so I took my quiz. You won't believe this but I had a narrow escape. Yeah! The highest score my professor gave was six (6) but, well, I didn't get that. But I got a five (5) and she gave 5 only to those that somehow new something, though their programs didn't work. Haha. I can't believe it but I have to make it look cool. Hahaha. Levy the Illusionist have worked her way out of a sticky, brain-wrenching situation. Hahaha. How did I do it? Magic. Bleh! Anyway, the DMS people are so cool. I dunno. It's their aura. We were in a cold place, loved the airconditioning, but it was so warm in the heart. Love them already. Oh, another apprentice is joining DMS too. Yay for Patrick the Spartan!!!

August 15 - Wednesday. I was late for my first class and he held a practical exam. I have to take it on Friday. I was already called because he called the names from his record from the last one up. Anyway, today is another pretty energetic day. Genshiken held two simultaneous activities. Actually one was a tie-up with CSPC and the other was a fund-raising, CS Protocol and King of Iron Fist Tournament [Tekken 5]. Ayos saya ng event kaya lang wawa si Ryan iniwan ng classmates sa ere. He performed by himself, pero siempre, the Genshis were there to support him, and he stood out, not only because he's alone but because of his overwhelming energy. Kudos!!! The presentations were all good though I didn't see the others. I enjoyed though I had to run back and forth to watch then go back to the office for the staff meeting, which was, by the way, postponed because there were only a few of us there, then ran back to continue the show then after the presentations, I ran to the CEAT building for the Tekken Tournament. After the players were done playing and the champion has been named, it was our turn to play. Hahaha. I played Tekken and beaten Ivy but I was beaten when we played Naruto, then the other Genshis played too, even Rikichan and Kenchan. I ate late lunch, my favorite Fiat Chicken Teriyaki, hangout at the kubo for a while. After everything, I went to check on the 2nd OrSem and went back and forth again. Woohoo. Brisk walking trip. The heck. Then we went to 7-11 to hangout, eat and chatter. Out of the blue, we decided to play Call of Duty. Hahaha. Ang saya though I didn't really kill that much. No classes tomorrow, so we took our time. Ang ingay namin [actually, sila lang] sa MBH [Migueebytes Hall]. *recalls that Bratatat handshake that Charles and Marc made*

Wala lang. Bigla ko lang naalala ung daga sa GMH. Daga-daga-daga!!! Hahaha.

A lot of people so suddenly used their Simpsonized selves as primary pictures and headshots. Made me think... What if the Simpsons is the real Anti-Christ? Hahaha.

Man, it's Cogie's birthday today? Ano na kayang balita sa kanya?

 Starlight, Starbright. Wish I may, wish I might.
 Won't you make him love me too? Make him want to hold me too,
 And wish upon a star as I do?

Saturday

What better way to start one fine Saturday than to get almost bitten by a dog and it didn't even bark. The heck. I was on my way out of our subdivision, about a quarter past six in the morning, when I felt something was stalking me. I looked back but saw nothing so I went on walking. Suddenly I felt teeth behind my legs. I looked down and saw this ugly, scabies-infected dog and saw how it tried to bite me. I kicked it away and continued walking. I saw how some of the people who saw reacted, and they were scared when I was not. Do I look like a walking chunk of raw meat now? Or was that stupid dog just tripping, and went for me out of randomness. Hahaha. Anyway, I didn't sleep much the other night but woke up feeling good. Must be the excitement of experiencing something new. I was very excited about Graphika Manila. Not sure what to expect but I knew it was something worth looking forward to. So, yeah, I got to the meeting place on time, even earlier.

Einen Glücklichen Tag

I'm going to Graphika Manila tomorrow. Oh, yeah! The storm did do something good after all. Hehe. The other activities I am supposed to attend were moved, now I won't have to choose. Woohoo!

Had a fun day today. We went on a joyride to circulate the school papers. Haha. Para kaming nagmo-motorcade, may hiyawan blues pa. Ganda sana kaya lang labo nung print nung ibang pages nung papers. 'Di masyado kita ung greetings ko. Ahuhu. Hehe. Tambay sa kubo with the Genshis and even went to lunch with some of them. Went to the library for the thesis and I also went to borrow a book on how to speak German. I've always wanted to be multilingual and I already know a little Japanese, of course, I already speak English, and I understand a few Spanish words. I remembered having studied a little Chinese back in the heydays of the F4 fever. Hehe. But the fever didn't burn that long. Maybe I'll study Chinese again when I get the time. *sigh* Oh, well.. So I skipped my 'gayness' class today. Who cares? Haha.

Our Press IDs are already printed. Yay! What I'm waiting for now are the Genshiken IDs. Can't wait. Already used Shiawase-niichan's picture as wallpaper on my cellphone. Hehehe.

Well, nothing emotionally emotional happened today, just a lot of physical hyperactivity. I love being busy these days. A hell lot of things to do but things are a lot easier this time. Must be the people I'm with, my disposition in life, my... I don't know. I'm just happy and seems like despite mass of contradictions, nothing in this cruel world can depress me. Happy, sha-la-la-la, it's so nice to be happy...

How do I end this entry? Hmm... Oh, I know...

BIGLA NA LANG MAWAWALA!!!

Pau-pau and Kenni-chan

Keep Him Safe

He's left alone, all by himself, definitely lonely without me. I can imagine him, sitting in one gloomy corner of the office, shaking and scared. He knows I need him and he needs me too. I'm so stupid. I shouldn't have let this happen. My poor flash disk... Oh, my... I'm so worried. And there'll be no classes tomorrow. He's in the office and he'll stay there for tonight, and tomorrow, and tomorrow night. I just hope classes will resume on Friday. I can't last another day without him by my side. Oh, heavens... Please keep him safe, don't let anything happen to him or I just might hit my head on the office wall if I find out that something bad happened to him. He has all of Oniisan's pictures that I've collected, and the fonts and the few pictures that I've spared from last Friday's wretchedness. Not sure if I can sleep well tonight knowing he's so far away from me.. Friends, please pray with me...

Today's been a fun day despite class hours being cut short, wet socks, and post-poned committments. The G.A was a success, website and mascots launched, fun and games, though it was embarrassing not lasting even for 10 seconds in a longest word-something game. The heck. Kulang sa praktis and my throat was dried. Movie trip [The Simpsons Movie but we were 'bitin' because of Manong Guard] with the HF people, laugh trip with Rikichan and Pau-pau [1000 volts, woooh!], food trip [rated PG and freeloader-ism, hehehe] and camwhoring with the Genshi-boys at 7-11 with Jackner and did get to talk to Oniichan. Yiheee! Saya 'di ba?

I started the day with a bad mood; Actually I was just hurt. I started to realized what I already know from years ago. I almost cried thinking of this, but.. What the hell? I've always known this fact: I cannot expect support from people whom I actually expect it from. If I want something, I'm in it by myself. Why waste tears, right? And it's not like they can stop me from doing what I think would make me happy anyway. I am stubborn, I was born this way and they also have something to do with me becoming what I am now. So, I missed the contest I was supposed to join today because of the heavy rain that probably caused the heavy traffic. I was late but it didn't really feel bad since I'm not even prepared. I had to take the bus to Dasmarinas and then ride a jeep to school, and I exceeded my daily fare budget. How on earth can I save for my CosPlay in September? I have to pay for something again, something our stupid teacher is making us do, when it's not even in the syllabus. What the FUCK? His reason: the lesson's: INTEGRATED? To hell with his integration?! We are supposed to learn to troubleshoot [v.tr. To investigate as a troubleshooter; determine and settle problems with] our computers not make spare parts, we're not Technical school students, and we're not even working in a factory... you, IDIOT! He thinks buying everything he makes us buy is just nothing, his weak head must be thinking all students in La Salle is rich. The fuck?! He doesn't know how I had to skip a school day and ask for my allowance for that day so I can have my phone fixed and had to skip meals so I can pay for the first batch of stupid peripherals he made us buy. See, NOW I'M REALLY MAD!!! That faggot! What a nuissance. Go to gay hell and stay, you belong there!!! Woooh! That made me feel a little better. I just wish he'd get fired. Hahaha! Booyah!

Josh Hartnett was in the country but who cares? I don't like him because he's not Johnny Depp.

Now I can go to Graphika Manila. Oniisan told me that the BMC was moved to Monday morning next week. Woooh! Now I have to wake up early. Oh no. Hehehe. But that's better than having to choose between two things that you both want.

By the way, we were soaking wet yesterday but it didn't stop our vanity. We went camwhoring last night at the Kubos wearing out wetlook. Haha. We ran in the rain from the West campus to the East, jumping from one roof to another. Haha. Shunpo. Parkour. Wahaha! Ayos! My tagline: I'm cuter when wet. Hahaha. Laughtrip pa rin sa ulan. Jason and his "I'm wet but I'm hot" tagline. Hahaha. Can't wait for Alain to upload those pictures. Ahihi. We were wet and Emo. Woohoo! We stayed at the kubos for a while. I went about poking everybody on the cheeks, watched Dan and Norman working on the mascots, Daniel was stuffing paper into his cigar cosplay props, and the other are busy doing their businesses. Haaay, saya.

The time for KTS is approaching and I want to perform there. Only Cresta and Jerome replied to my messages. If Mark and Vince won't reply, we'll be short of a guitarist and a drummer. Good thing, I got the contact numbers of my former bandmates and I know some people in school that I can ask. Awww... It would be better if we could play with the old members but I really want to and if they won't answer, I have no choice. We have to be screened first but I believe those guys' talents and I believe we could get in. Wish us luck!!!

Yay, We're going to Ivy's place to Slumber PARTEEEEH on the 25th. Woohoo! Can't wait. There'll be Karisma moments for sure. Hahaha. And I have to watch out for Marky-warky when he sleeps. Hehehe. You talk to him and he answers back. Laugh trip.

I really miss my flash disk and we'll be away from each other for a day, I'm worried for his safety. Awww...

Suddenly a force from above silenced the elegy, It was at the end of the day..

Again

I'M BACK!!! *teary-eyed*

I thought I can never get back. I was already having withdrawal syndrome. I missed the internet so much. My PC's back in action but with a price to pay; I lost all of my precious files, doll photos, anime photos, cosplay pictures, my beautiful Photoshop brushes, my flabbergasting fonts, my undone PSDs, every single thing. They cannot be saved, not even those that are related to our thesis. Good thing I kept copies of my stalker files in my flash disk. Hahaha! And the photos of my friends are all posted in my Multiply [here], well, most of them. Nothing can make me lose them. Well, they're gone.. Forever.. What can I do? Hehehe. May they all rest in peace in Files Heaven or wherever they are. Thank you for being part of my life. Hehehe. Here I am again, getting attached to inanimate things. My, my.. Oh, well.. It's late now and I have class tomorrow at 10 and a life to continue living. I can gather up those files again, I know. Hehe. Yasumi, ningens!!!

OHAYOU!!!

Elvenpath




As I return to my room and sleep takes me by my hand, Madrigals from the woods carry me to Neverland. In this spellbound night, the world's an elvish sight.

Blog Break

No blogging for me for the moment, just a few days. Our computer needs reformatting but hopefully it won't take that long. See you all in a few days. I'm writing this post in a computer shop next door, can't blog here. Badtrip. I have this entry pa naman thatI started writing last Thursday. Heck. Sige, got to go...

Undone

" Now look at me, instead of moving on, I refuse to see that I keep coming back, yeah, I'm stuck in a moment that wasn't meant to last... "

This week kinda... ROCKS. By fate, I saw Shiawase-niichan everyday, Wednesday was rocked away, hanging out with my friend is hella fun as usual and... Wala lang. I'm just happy... Again... As always... Hehe. The universe seems to conspire for me that I may fulfill my heart's desire. Haha. A bit exaggerated pero parang ganun. Despite the stress brought about by the past Monday, everything was compensated....

DLSU-D Grandstand

I was there. I didn't get to take pictures of the other performers because I was seated at the the upper part of the Grandstand though I'd say I've had a good view of the event up there. I took videos but because I was way up there, as in up the Grandstand, the audio isn't quite audible, so you won't be seeing any of it here.

Dahil sa Mannequin, naging makulay ang aking buhay ng gabing iyon. Haha. Riot. Never seen anything like it in years. Ang saya.

The guest bands they invited aren't popular yet but they were good. They rocked my night away. Woohoo! Esp. Jason, the keyboardist of Robert D--something band. I can't remember what that D meant. It's the name of their lead vocalist. Anyway, he's really nice and he's cute, and he looks familiar. Wala lang. Parang we're destined to meet that night. Hahaha.

The Chongkeys!!! Haha. Ang kulet! Ang astig! Haha. Makipag-sayaan sa mga maligno at engkanto. Mag-aral ng kanilang disksyunaryo. Ayos na ayos. I'd love to hear more of these guys. Goodluck sa WBOB!!!

Kastigo, hardcore! Their lead guitarist, Josh, kinda remind me of Kong, my former bassist, dunno why. Goodluck sa album!!!

Kadangyan, astig. Ethno-rock/Metal. Goodluck sa WBOB!!!
