I know I promised Tito Bots I'll tell him about my stalker. Apparently, it's a bad thing for a blogger to lose interest because you tend to shy away from the daunting task of recording it. YES I AM LAZEEEEEEH. And sad to say I LOVE IT. XDDDD

Anyways, the guy already stopped bugging me after I lashed my sharp tongue (or fingers in my case) at him. Just two messages for him to keep his distance. I'm still too good to simply say 'Fuck off'. It also helped that Jay threatened him [indirectly]. lol.

Am now about to try Pet Forest on Facebook. After getting hooked on TinierMe, who knows... I just might be starting to perk up my online activity. Whew!

I sent an email blast to the team earlier after our team huddle to share the Innovation Forum with all the reps. I hope this stuff works otherwise, I'll need to punch someone squarely in the face. �_� me thinks I need to do more sit-ups btw. Off topic, I know. XD

In other news, I'm so EXCITED about TinierMe! Cutesy at its finest~ I never was very adept with Gaia Online, I grew tired of that quickly. TinierMe is the new OzWorld. Fishing galore~ XDXD So anyway, due to the limited budget I have to spend on outfits, I settled on a simple cosplay.

Audition Tribute? blinks

2010-04-13T17:48:00.005+08:00

I think the featured video on http://www.clubaudition.com.ph/ is outdated. The video was posted last December 2009. (Nice one Exoduz! :3) Okay, so maybe it's not as outdated, pero it would be nice if they updated it every month. Kaya nga featured eh, it should stay there only for a set period of time. Maybe it's updated every quarter? XDXD

Dear kenchii commented that PF (Pussyfierz) club shoulda been there too, but I think di na included because PF has been inactive for a very long time. I should know, I was there. Ex-club moderator-turned-club-babysitter. Hays, the good old days. =/

...I miss playing Audition already. :( Should I play again?...

Wait... what's my account user ID again? =.= Crap. $&#()@#^@&#%~!!! /facepalm Why is the e-Games account page SO useless D: SOMEONE IMPROVE THE INTERFACE FAST RUSH GRRRR!

WiniLa! Envyyyyyyy

2010-04-12T15:24:00.002+08:00

I was told this site was officially launched last Domination. ENVY LOR~ X(

WiniLa officially partnered with e-Games and was given the spotlight during the annual gaming event. I heard people went crazy for it. Imagine, some people won iPods, Skullcandy headphones, 19" LCDs and a gaming laptop was also auctioned off. ALL COSTING LESS THAN A THOUSAND PESOS. No, it's not a scam as much as I want to believe myself. It's really everything I dreamed of and more~~ 8D~

So anyway, WiniLa's take on online auctioning bases its strength in the last few seconds of the auction. This is what we call 'bid sniping'. It's a lot different from eBay's proxy bidding system. All items start with a price of PHP 0.00, and every bid you place in the last few seconds add 10 more seconds to the duration! In Tagalog, this literally means "matira ang matibay", or Last Man Standing. :3 Ain't that neat!?

Posted below are some direct links to the local WiniLa webbie for your viewing pleasure. <3

Cleared through another batch of mail/message spam. Damn Facebook and Yahoo. PEOPLE, DON'T EVEN TRY TO ACCESS news2link .org!!! /facepalm One invitation did interest me though. Me wonders what's in this link: http://fbookapp.50webs.com/sodacansecrets.html

It says you'll never want to drink soda again after you see this. Well, the page is saying there's no available survey for my country. Hence, I still don't know what the heck it is. ._. Okay... that sucks.

For the record, I went to the clinic yesterday to have a checkup because of my allergies (caused by my own stupidity, sigh) and noontime fever. The doctor scared me by saying it was Herpes Simplex. Turns out, it was just an aftereffect of the rogue allergy. WTF. I still have to observe myself and come back if my lip swelling doesn't stop after 2 days. He says we can't rule out the Herpes. UGH. Nice. /headdesk

I just ran a Wikipedia search just in case. I found the keywords "fever blisters" and "oral herpes". Okay, sounds safe enough for me. I DID run a fever. And I had a freakin allergy. Sue me. OTL

So, while I'm being perfectly behaved (BAWAL KONTRA @$&*!~), I'm back to downloading loads of songs in hopes that one day, I'll get to add more songs again to my iPod. It feels more like it now belongs to Jay rather than it supposedly belonging to me. *laughs* Well, I did get to keep Whitey (the PSP) while he has the iPod. I miss Crisis Core and Audition Portable already ;___; I was rewatching the epilogue just now on the PC (for the umpteenth time) and I still get teary-eyed. I think if I was in Cloud's position, I would have thrown myself all over Zack. But being in the body of a guy, that would have looked... awkward. It's bad enough that my mom thinks Zack is ~~gay~~ a girl. D: *positively bawling*

He looks at peace, my mom is seriously whacked if she thinks Zack looks like a girl here. D:

In other news, I got meself an Audition lanyard! :3 I forgot to bring it with me though, I can use it to secure my phone when I go out. Cuteness, but I was told it cost PHP 100, which I personally thought was too much considering the 'thickness' of the fabric used. Ahem. Meh, let's just say the 80-Peso value can pass as "souvenir material". XD

That's it for this update. I need to take my medicine, and my lower lip is still swollen. T__T

Anyways... congrats Issa! Take care of your baby and make sure she grows up not just like you but better than you. Accomplishment yun! Hehe. Don't we all want the best for our kids (to-be)? *wink*

In other news, I got back in contact with another dear highschool friend thanks to his great *ahem* stalking skillz and some friends who disclosed too much personal information on the net. =.= Mixed feelings right here.

If anyone remembers Ray Christian Joaquin, yeah that's him. I know HE HASN'T CHANGED A BIT XDXD still the same complexion, still wearing glasses. It's like it was just yesterday he was saying goodbye and entrusting his Playstation game collection to me. ACK I SOUND LIKE AN OLD LADY D: I just remembered him because the song playing right now was one of his recommendations. You rock dude. Miss ya, come back home to PH sometime with your wifey! :3

My daddy's letter to Mar Roxas

Currently Playing: Ayaka - Why (Final Fantasy Crisis Core OST)

As I told my officemates, I found this letter quite amusing and funneh. One close friend even commented that my dad's pretty involved with politics. As a matter of fact, he is. But he's matured enough to know that it causes nothing more than a few bouts of random hysteria, a little consolation, and a whole load of stress. HAHA.

I think I was set to be a BCC recipient? Or maybe he forwarded it somehow, but the email wasn't marked as FW:, so I assumed he set me to BCC. Many might think I'm being awfully biased. Forgive me, but my dad and mom have been Ninoy fans, and I personally admire Tita Cory. It goes to say that they're most likely gonna vote for NoyNoy, and I recently did that too with the 7-Elections thing. And what better excuse to give than me and Kris Aquino sharing first names? XD

Oh, what a way to start blogging again. *sigh*

Dear Mar,

I just read this morning of Jojo Binay's accusation re: Cheaper Medicines. I can't help but go nuts over because it seemed that they are much in favor of "a commission" running the whole thing. Sa next Harapan, will you kindly clarify this issue deeply para malaman ng madlang pipol na kaya nga ayaw natin sa isang "Commission" ay mahilig ang mga ito na "mangumisyon" - kaya nga commission eh obvious na nga.

Am (not just saddened but) irritated, disgusted that the scheduled Harapan Tandem did not push through, because your opponents (chicken & roosters) suddenly felt that they would be on the losing end because it would be clearly painted on their faces. Ung rehistro sa cam on live (ng mga pikon at sinungaling) cannot be doubted. (should you wish to confirm this, kindly ask your ms. Korina kasi kita niya agad ang mga ito, ni-replay pa nga-katawa-tawa tuloy).

Have also commented on several occasions how we voters can wisely go to an easier approach of selecting the candidates they wish to vote for. One thing I do is when we friends get into conversations, I would simply ask, ano ang pwede mong maipamana sa pamilya mo kahit wala kang pera? Isang makahulugang boto para sa kanila . . . (kapalit ng luha)

Sana nga, when all the smoke is over, magkasundo na tayong lahat. . .(kandidato/botante)

Get everyone else in your Cabinet - ung ayaw, let them hide in the closet. . .(ala e, chicken)

Sari-sari tayong kulay ngayon - yellow, orange, red, blue, green etc, etc. (kakasawa minsan)

Mabuti pa ang Crayola - pagkatapos ng lahat ng kalat . . . magkakasama sa isang kahon.

kapit-kapit ang isa't isa, masaya . .

My advance Congratulations, Vice . . . (paki-fwd na rin kay Noy)

Regards,

(my dad's name)

Wow, and here I am asking myself what I've been up to in the last several months which prevented me from updating my blog. As pathetic as it may sound, I WAS BUSY! XD

So work hasn't been all that hectic like it used to be, but as you grow accustomed to your lifestyle you just tend to... tire of old habits. I guess that's the most valid reason I can come up with. Bilhin nyo na please~~

Anyhoo, I kinda miss blogging. Prolly because I got into this lil' talk with my former boss and we had fun talking about her story-which-sounds-much-like-fan fiction-but it-isn't-fan fiction-daw (yeah shoor) XD We'll see if I can fit it in my sked ne?

Sino si Ricky Lee?

2009-01-24T15:57:00.002+08:00

Currently listening to: SFX from Special Force Online (...baril barilan onlayn)

According to my research, he's the multi awarded film scriptwriter whose scripts were used in classic Filipino films. This includes Dyesebel (1990), Bawal na Gamot (1994), Madrasta (co-writer, 1996), Curacha, ang babaeng walang pahinga (1998), Rizal (co-writer, 1998), Muro-Ami (co-writer, 1999), Deathrow (2000), Anak (2000), Aishite Imasu 1941 (2004) and Dubai (2005), among many other titles. These are just some of the movies I recognized from his long list of works, but saying I'm amazed is an understatement.

To be honest, I didn't know Ricky Lee before today.

Embarrassing truth, I know, but one has to be honest when it comes to things like this. I guess it was fate's doing that I met him today :p

So Jay and I went to SM North Edsa to meet with his seller from eBay, that's where they agreed to meet up so he can pay for his item. It's a small figurine of Konata Izumi from Lucky Star, his late Christmas gift to me. (it's this little baby!) While we were there, he decided to take me on a tour around "the mall he grew up in". Weh.

Kona-chan in school uniform - swimwear~

We passed by National Bookstore and found a stack of Millionaires game boxes. I had him check on the price, then I decided to go in to check if they had Monopoly. God knows I've been looking for a cheap version everywhere @_@ it's hard. I'm set on settling for the localized game.. =/ Anyway while we were there, an announcement caught my attention. Actually, I just remembered the new book I read about on the internet. Ricky Lee was having a book signing session in about 1 1/2 hour. (insert gasp of awe here) We decided to eat and walk around a bit before going back...

When we finally returned to the bookstore, the entrance was packed. I swore some teens

were actually swooning and squealing. Like, ugh..? Sabay tingin ako sa loob, may kasama palang artista. Later I learned those two used to be PDA scholars. I don't really feel too sorry to have a weak celebrity radar~ ^^;; Back to topic, I did what I came to do. I bought my copy of Para kay B for P225, had Jay pick up a raffle stub for us (we got Trip to Quiapo for free!!), lined up for book signing and got a picture taken with Ricky Lee.

I walked away feeling beyond amazed. Dude, I was starstruck; not by the ex-PDA scholars, but by Ricky's presence. It doesn't matter to me that I spent 20+ years of my life going about watching movies and TV series which he had some kind of contribution in. Simply put, natuwa ako sa ginawa ko. I'm running on a low budget and am depending on Jay to provide for us for the rest of the week (XD), but I couldn't care less. It was at that time that I finally felt the weight of stardom around him. Wtf!

Actually part of the reason I was feeling giddy after all that was the fact that I though Ricky Lee and Ricky Lo were the same person. Yes, I LOL. XDDD And he wrote sweet notes on our dedications; maybe (partly?) because we were among the first five to ask for his autograph. Nyehehehe. I asked Jay to take pictures of the whle thing. Di ko dala yung Para kay B copy ko, Jay took it with him.

Kina Kristina at Jay,
Sana'y magustuhan ninyo ang trip na ito sa mundo ng pagsusulat!
- Ricky Lee

Jay said, "malalaman natin kung maganda to, tapos to sa loob ng isang araw". I have a feeling it's gonna be just like that. I can't wait to start reading. :3 For now, I guess I'll grab a few ZZZ's. 36 hours of sleep-deprived activity can affect your thinking capacity. Miao~

P.S.
I look ghastly in these pics because I haven't slept well yet. lol

It's incredible, really. Hard to believe such an inhumane act. Even if one guy got poked with an effin umbrella, it does not change the fact that THEY started the fight and they had stupid guns.

TWILIGHT,

TAGALOG BERSYON.

"kasi pare ganito daw yun. may isa daw babae na hot daw pare. pero maputla siya kasi hindi

siya inalagaan ng nanay niya pare. tapos pare emo daw siya kasi nga daw hindi siya mahal ng mundo at para siyang patay na bata na galit sa mundo. tapos pare, lumipat daw siya ng tirahan kasi daw masyado daw siyang emo para sa luma niyang tirahan. sabi niya sa nanay niya "tangina mo nay gusto ko lumipat kay tay". tangina pare hindi nagalit nanay niya. sabi lang ng nanay niya "tangina mo pare wag ka magmura".

so lumipat siya sa tatay niya di ba? pagkarating niya dun sabi niya, "tangina erpat bakit maulan dito?" sabi ng erpat niya "gago "bur" months na! malamig na tangena". so nagtaka yung babaeng simula ngayon ay tatawagin na lang nating "babaeng maputla at emo".

so pumasok siya sa school di ba? binigyan siya ng truck ng tatay niya pare. sabi ng tatay niya "tangina mo sa'yo na tong truck ko". sabi niya "salamat tay".

pagkarating niyang school tsong, may nakita siyang lalaking mukhang bangkay pero pogi. sakto. pogi pero mukhang bangkay. sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "hot pare".

nung chem lab na ni babaeng maputla at emo, natagpuan niyang lab partner niya yung poging bangkay. so nung tinignan siya nung poging bangkay, ang asim ng mukha nito. mukhang nandiri ata kay babaeng maputla at emo.

sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina mo". sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "tangina KA". sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina NIYA oh *tumuro sa teacher nila*". sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "oo nga noh. TANGINA MO". sabi ni poging bangkay "tangina mo gago bampira ako". tapos naghubad siya ng damit at kumintab ang katawan niya kasi linagyan niya ng glitters ang abs niya kasi tigas siya at ganun na ang mga tigas ngayon na nagpupuntang emba.

so pare na in love si babaeng maputla at emo kay poging bangkay. si poging bangkay naman sige lang kasi sex din daw yun. so ayun. angshweet shweet nila.

"eow poh... ahihihihi"

"bebe mwahugz,..... ^^,"

so tapos nun nagpunta sila sa damuhan kasi.... alam mo na. tapos sabi ni poging bangkay "ikaw na buhay ko ngayon" sabi ni babaeng maputla at emo "tangina mo gago patay ka na". sabi ni poging bangkay "TANGINA KA".

tapos nagsex sila

so basically pare yun lang yung mga importanteng nangyari sa buong storya. intense noh? kaya pala nahhook lahat ng tao. akala ko overrated. hindi pala. astig pala. alam naman natin ang basic equation ng pagkacool."

Got it from Meggy. I say ROFL. :))

Quoting the guy who owns solerasturias.multiply.com:

"

Tiyak na magloloko rin ang multiply ninyo (tulad ng nangyari sa akin) kung sinundan n'yo ang link sa oras na naka-log in kayo sa Multiply. LALABAS SA INBOX N'YO AY PURO CONTENT MULA SA KANYA AT WALANG OPTIONS NA SETTINGS AT LOG-OUT. Pero para maayos ang account n'yo, clear private data (kung kayo ay naka-Firefox).

*SPOILER: This song played during the Prom scene.

Saturday
We watched Twilight's last full show @ MoA which started at 10:15 PM. Loved the movie. I mean for someone who hasn't read the book, I appreciated the movie. Simple as that. There's apparently no need for me to dress up the words.

Why'd they name it Twilight?
"..Google it." - Edward

When we got in the theater, I thought we were pretty early because we're probably among the first 20 people in De Luxe. In 20 minutes, I realized the theater was freakin full. We were just on time. lol. Since he got enough sleep, I knew Jay wasn't gonna fall asleep on this one. Meh, he didn't sleep on me when we watched Madagascar 2 so I guess that's enough assurance to hold on to. XD

The beginning was, in my opinion, dark enough. o.O I heard a girl (who I thought was prolly the lead lady) say "I'd never given much thought to how I would die...", I later learned this was the book preface. Bella, the lead who tells the story, had dry humor. I mean, what's up with the line on her being pale despite living in sunny Arizona? She answered 'maybe that's why they kicked me out'? =_=" On a lighter note, Edward Cullen's role was played beautifully by everyone's beloved Diggory, Rob Pattinson. *swoons*

Oh, and there was this one scene they had in the café where Edward told Bella that he can read people's minds. He went "Money, sex, money. Sex.... Cat". The audience laughed. Then I looked at Jay and saw him smiling, he did that for about a full minute. Then I asked him, "So what are you thinking about right now?" He answered "lolcat". ROFL.

I thought the movie's really good for an adaptation, I'll find out soon enough if it lived up to the bestseller book. I just have one evident complaint with the movie, and that's with Kristen Stewart who played Bella. She sort of acted too flatly, rather emotionless if you ask me. If you watch(ed) the trailer you'd know what I mean. You're supposed to be really excited or awed and scared at the same time if you find yourself standing on top of a tree, looking at the vast forest, with or without a vampire. Argh.

When the movie ended, we got up along with the rest of the audience; I was personally feeling rather satisfied. Jay asked me something while we walked out, it went like this:

Jay: So, how would you rate the movie from a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest?
Me: *thinks* ... I'd say about 8.
Jay: *smiles* Ako rin. I'd give it a 7.5.
Me: (thinking I wanna read the books soon, crap~ now I need to save moolah for that)
Jay: I liked how the story revolved on forbidden love.
Me: *stares at Jay* Haha.. I like how you said 'forbidden love'.
Jay: *gives a 'huh' look* What?
Me: I said, I like how you said 'forbidden love'. Doesn't it kinda remind you of something?
Jay: *grins smugly* Did you mean something or someone? (he was referring to a past)
Me: I meant something, not someone.
Jay: Hmm, di e, baka someone. *laughs*
Me: Definitely something. An emotion is a thing, right?

I intended to refer to what we actually had. Or maybe just what I thought we had... lol. I liked the movie because I found something that connects us to them.

By the time we got out of the cinema, it was dark and the hallways were packed with none other than the movie watchers. Bah. Way past curfew... How the hell am I supposed to go back to the boarding house?! ;__;

Insert: Adventures of Lolrus and Lolcat

(Bus scene)
- Kitteh was leaning on the glass window -
Lolrus: Kitteh no sleep okai?

Lolrus: Ai! Kitteh no sleep, or else lolrus make *claps hands together a few times while making walrus sound*

Lolcat: Oh! Oh! Forbidden Kingdom! Kitteh like movie, kitteh no sleep!
Lolrus: Good.
Lolcat: Kitteh no sleep so kitteh no splat!

Yeah, and that's how I ended up not sleeping on the way home. ;__;

Dad's birthday. A few hours into our shift and I felt sick; symptoms of my hyperacidity started to really bother me while I was on bio break so I decided to look for my teammates, who consequently went out several minutes before me. Turns out it was worse than the usual and I ended up being rushed to the hospital. Arrr. So much for teh pirate kitteh not getting seasick, no?

(1) This was an ouchie. (2) Can you still read what the nurse wrote?

I sooo did NOT enjoy that hospital visit. Jay's hands were cold and clammy with worry. Really don't want this to happen again.

Oh yeah, I was diagnosed with gastritis. w00t.

October 30, 2008

Jay and I went to Maxicare -> Makati Medical Center for my follow-up check up at the gastroenterologist. Here's the scene that welcomed us at Maxicare-Filomena:

AHHH! It's the grim reaper! :O

My boss said something like, "I would've taken on the comfort that you'll be seen by doctors dressed by ghouls, but that's morbid." Ah darn, wish I saved that message. ._. I don't know if she'd be laughing or raising her eyebrow at seeing this, but c'mon... I mean really -- that's a very inviting front and they're doing a fantastic job of promoting good health and wellness.

Btw, their clerks were all dressed in black, there was a coffin with some weird baby's name on it in the reception area (left), and there also was a skeleton in a wheelchair (right). Did I mention their guard was dressed as Dracula? D:

November 1, 2008

Moved out of the boarding house. Sayonara Makati, hello Taguig! *scratch head*

It's not much, but it was home for 10 months.

Unfortunately for me this is all the time I have for posting an update. I'll try to see what I can come up by next week. Makes me wish I had a laptop with wi-fi connection. Sux!

Level Up! Live 2008

My plans never work out the way I want them to. =_= I was supposed to be there much, much earlier, like say, after lunch. Thanks to my dad's uber bad mood, we were forced to leave much, much later than I thought. Grrr. Anyway! It was somehow worth it kasi in the end, nakahabol ako sa event. I even got to have pictures taken! XD Sux for me to have no cam. lol.

Ebidensya:

Me and Boksie

Me and a few HOLers (andami nila noh!)

Rolf ish beside me in this pic. Huhu di ko maalala tong iba sa pic! T_T

Me and Master Azer

Bongga diba? :p Other pics to be posted on Multiply. ^^

BDO -- We Find Ways? Or do you?

2008-10-13T07:29:00.004+08:00

"Poverty is everywhere" is the punchline made famous by one of my girl friends, Joey. Last week when I rode the bus back to Makati, this reality hit me square on the head like a bucket of ice-cold water. No, the water didn't get poured on me. Someone slammed the effin' bucket ON my head. No no, make that someTHING. Read on to know more.

The story went like this:

Me: *gets off trike and speeds her way up the stairs to BDO*
(groans loudly as she sees ATMs out of service, for the SECOND week)
Ma: *looks at bank guard* Bakit sira pa rin to? Ano bang klaseng bangko kayo, last week pa 'to ah!
Guard: Eh ma'am, ngayon lang dumating yung taga-ayos ng ATM eh.
Me: *walks off in silent frustration*
Ma: Ano ba to, di ka makaka-withdraw ng pambayad sa cellphone...
Me: *crosses street, mom following suit*

(a bus finally arrives in about 15 minutes)

On the bus...

Ma: May pera ka pa ba dyan?
Me: (talking for the first time since I got off the trike btw) ..wala.
Ma: Eh bakit tayo sumakay kung wala tayong pambayad?
*the guy beside me stares at us.*
Me: Magkano ba pera nyo?
Ma: *kalkal bag* Meron pa kong 60 dito.
Me: *rummages around handbag to get wallet and purse*

(I was able to get 2 20-peso bills and the rest were 10 and 5-peso coins)

That was the worst bus ride I have ever been on. I have no idea how many people heard her say the text in bold above, but I'm sure as hell I won't be riding the bus without *more than enough* moolah. Though I did manage to come up with the fare, I had 40 something in coins left, it's embarrassing to have the whole lot hear what my mom has to say. Or maybe I will get on the bus, but I'll tell mom I DO have the money. Talk about major hassle. x_X

Poverty my dear, it eats you inside. T_T

But then again, I wouldn't have to go through all that if BDO fixed their farkin' ATMs. Two weeks man, two WEEKS. All ATMs I checked, from SM Sta. Rosa to Waltermart Sta. Rosa to all ATMs within the vicinity of Buendia-Pasong Tamo, were busted. I had to shell out maybe 44-55 bucks in extra to use another bank's ATM.

"We find ways" huh? You do have a way of managing your customers. When do you plan to improve your customer service? Kudos to you Banco De Oro, for not showing any improvement. *use rocket launcher, bomb BDO GRRRARR!*

Random Thoughts of Melancholy

2008-10-05T16:05:00.010+08:00

"Listen well to my words son, for this may be the last time we are given this opportunity to spend time together."

(The son stands up to retort, but she continues without fail)

"Kenji, have you ever wondered why I never ever got mad nor sad whenever your father wasn't home? It is because I knew well in my heart that he would come back. No matter how far he got from home, however long he was away, I always knew he would come back because this is his home; our home."

"Whenever I see your face, it reminds me of your father, and how dear he was to me. That's why I'm so happy to see you today. It's the same feeling I had when I saw your father after such a long time."

(Kaoru smiles as Kenji blushed and looked down)

"When I met your father from China, my chest ached so much, I felt it was about to burst -- it was almost unbearable. For me, seeing his face again was more than enough. I was overcome with joy, when he said "I am home, Kaoru," and at that moment, I fulfilled my promise by answering "Welcome back, Shinta".

(Kenji's eyes widened with this confession)

"After a few moments of sitting together by the river, that's when I realized your father was gone. I was happy then, because I am sure that he finally found his answer. His face showed the peace he felt. The scar from his past that kept haunting him no longer exists."

"Then, I cried -- it wasn't because of sorrow, but of joy. I know he is happy to die in my arms..."

"I chose to share the suffering your father went through, which eventually caused his death. I have no regrets at all. My love for your father was more important to me. As such, your father loved you and I, that's why he always went away. Not being with us pained him more than his illness did. If you only took the time to know him, you wouldn't have hated him."

"How could you keep smiling despite your husband constantly leaving you behind?" Kenji asked, hatred marked in his facial features.

Kaoru closes her eyes as she heaves a sigh. "I'm sorry I never stopped him whenever he left... I know your anger grows each time you see me welcoming him with a smile and open arms. You must have felt pity for your poor mother, and for that I ask for forgiveness."

Kenji shakes his head vigorously. "Mother, you need not apologize to a son who ran away from reality! It is I who should beg forgiveness from you."

"I knew very well that I could not take her place in your father's heart", Kaoru started to Kenji's surprise, "That is why I did my best to love him, even when I knew it would be difficult. I believed, that someday, he would smile at me from the bottom of his heart. It would express pure joy... no trace of sadness nor remorse of the past. When you grow up and have a family of your own, you'll understand. I admit that most of the time, I act based on my emotions rather than logic. It got me and your father in trouble often. I'm sure you wont make the same mistakes we did."

(Kenji smiles briefly at the thought)

"I feel rather tired, may I rest on your lap for a while?"

"Y-yes... of course, mother." (Kenji moves farther for Kaoru to lie down)

"It was just like this. We were watching the sunset, and I held him in my arms just like what you're doing now. Sometimes I look to the sunset as if it signifies the end of my life... Kenji, let me tell you now that I regret nothing in loving your father the way I did. Even if it turned out he was in love with someone else beyond anyone's reach, I do not feel sad. Remember, 'it is better to love and be loved than to never have loved at all'. Your life's journey has only begun. Don't throw it away needlessly. Live as if your life would end the next day, so you won't feel like you wasted your time."

(Kaoru closes her eyes then sighs again)

"Promise me you'll stay strong, no matter what the future may bring upon you. Accept fate's path, but dare to venture if you feel there's a better way around. Whenever you feel lonely or confused, look at the cherry blossoms and think of us. We will always be with you..."

"Take care of your father's sword. It is his legacy, use it as he would have. I don't expect you to be just like him, or follow in his footsteps -- only that you give importance to life and use the sword for something good."

"I love you... Kenji. I will always love you, and your father. Always.... and forever." She struggles to smile once more, while tears stream from her eyes and stain Kenji's robes.

I'll always love you too, mother. Don't worry, I've forgiven father a long time ago. Kenji brushes off some hair from Kaoru's face.

A few hours later, Kaoru passes away. Kenji quietly shed tears, stricken with grief from years of silence. His mother looked happier than ever.

-----

Megumi was secretly listening from inside one of the dojo's rooms. Tears welled up in her eyes from what she heard Kaoru say. Sanosuke and Yahiko came in with flowers and tangerines in hand. Upon seeing Megumi weeping, Sano feared the worst, and knew he was too late. Yahiko rushed in to see the body of his mentor lying peacefully on a shikibuton, Kenji by her side.

"Oh Kenshin, you're lucky to have Kaoru for a partner. I couldn't do the same things she did for you. Now I really know why you had eyes for only her." She cried in Sanosuke's arms.

by Anonymous

From what I gather, this short dialogue was made based on events after Samurai X: Reflection where Kenshin died. :( Its a sad conclusion to a remarkable series, but nevertheless, I can't ask for a better ending. *sigh*

Ang sarap sarap mag-basketball~

ARGH! I regret ever listening to that song. Now it's stuck in my head. I need a new LSS pl0x! T_T Anyhoo, I finished reformatting the computers at home save for one unit which I'm using right now. I still don't know what to do with the refugee files (I call them refugees for the mere fact that I had to move them around like a puzzle everytime I reformat a PC) and I feel 2 days just isn't enough. It would've sufficed if my RAMs didn't give me such a hard time. Don't ask, long story! =.=

I'm unloading a few more pics for now, then maybe I'll take a nap before I hit the shower. Again. Ughh. *falls off*

Bangag si boss?

Truth be told, I don't know if I pressed "Capture" too soon, or she didn't pose on time. Here's boss giving a you-dun-wanna-mess-wif-me look which should have been the famous Japan Japan peace sign pose. XD

Anong binubulong bulong mo dyan!?

Another pic from the 23rd at Zander's. Nakaka-miss yung Andok's. ^_^ Jackie, what the hell are you whispering to Russel? Looks intimate. lol

09.28.08

Russel in a basketball uniform!?

Yes folks, no matter how you look at it, that's Russel in trunks, este.. a jersey. What I found most hilarious about this moment was Jay saying "Akalain mo yun, di na lang tayo sa mesa ng inuman nagkakasama!" or something like that. This is all true. ^^;

You should never believe Russ when he says he's changing for a healthier lifestyle, he came from a drinking session the night before and played the next day. Talk about hectic!

Side note: Russ, iba kang bumungisngis. *rolls on floor laughing*

Dancer si manong referee.

I tried using my phone cam to take a picture of the game (sabi ni Boj, we must present proof that Russel actually played. lol) but the referee jumped in and made a weird gesture. Kilala nyo ba si Shin-chan (from Crayon Shin-chan)? If yes, do you know the movement he makes when he plays with his 'elephant'? Did you say yes? Well, the referee did that too. XD

Kaano-ano mo ba to ha, Russel? o.O

Panggap!!!

Russ heard Boj teasing him for his sloppy moves on the court, and when he got subbed, he sat on the bench and showed his sweaty jersey for us to see. Nag-pose pa. I tell you, model talaga sya! *nods*

Peace tayo ha, Russ? ^_^; (sunog na sunog sya sa blog ko. Wahahaha.)

09.30.08

I have a doppelgänger?

Lastly, I found this last night while checking on who's viewed my Friendster page. I found out someone was using my pic without my permission. Hmm. Ambisyosang panggap! Now this is the real thing, Russel's just being weird and I find it amusing to tease him for that, but whoever made this profile should prepare to be suspended. I reported it right away. :p

It's not that I find this oppressive, but I would appreciate it if people would at least ask permission before they use my own photos. Or ask my photographer/PSer (Raven wahahahaha!), that would be enough. One last note, if you really want to use it and not tell me, at least do a better job of hiding it. Haha! ｡ﾟ+.(´▽`)｡+.ﾟ+･゜

Espresso and Sansrival ice cream cups

I bought this when I went out with Jen last week. I bought the Sansrival one :p I forgot the name of the store but it was supposedly owned by a Don Bosco priest(?). I took another pic before this one somewhere else, but I wo't be posting the pic due to explicit content. Wahahaha.

09.18.08

Proof that Jay was beat?

Jay, in his never-ending attempt to deny his use of iHooked as a bedroom (laruan/tulugan) said I should take a picture if he falls asleep in iHooked again. Bleh, don't blame me ha. Ikaw nagsabing gawin ko to! :p *side comment by Adik: walang remedyo!*

09.19.08

Starbucks treat with Adik Bryan and Jay

Jen went home early and didn't get to see this. Nanlibre si Jay! Weee! XD *wawa si Jen di nalibre* Bry showed us some weird trick with the cig filter and plastic cover. Ka-elibs. He got his dose of karma later in the evening. :p

09.20.08

Adik with Kit's dog (forgot the name)

Whatever happened there, I leave to rusty memory. :p

09.21.08

Me with Boss Jhois at The Zone

Di marunong kumuha si Adik, bad lighting! Escapades from the day before still evident in my puffy eyes. lol

Adik w/ Jay's MP3 player and my headphones (!?)

Taken on the same day, eto si adik. We never got to take a pic of the game coz my 6070's cam is crappy and I couldn't figure out how to work Jay's phone cam.

Ano bang meron sa weekend at lagi akong bangag? Wala, wala! Wasakan lang daw ng buhay :p

Currently Playing: Hysteric Blue - Grow Up (OP theme from Ghosts at School)

I had this funny feeling that something was bound to happen this week (again), and there's no surprise in knowing I was right. Migraine attacked last Monday so I had to go to the clinic to rest. My teammates, Russel and Jay had to escort me to the 21st floor for that. So, kamusta ang production time? -_- What upset me more was the fact that I contributed to the infraction issued on Jay last Sunday. This, in turn, gave my boss (who had a migraine attack like me on the same day) a bad mood when she returned to the office. Life really sucked.

I also got 'the talk' from three people about my status at work: that would be Jay, my dad and my boss.

Last Sunday, he decided to wait for me after shift so we can go to iHooked together. I was finishing my reports for last week.

Jay: Matagal pa ba yan?
Me: Yeah, may 11 scrubs pa kong kailangang i-fill in. (11/15)
Jay: Tapos every week nyong ginagawa yan?
Me: *nods*
Jay: May dagdag ba sa sahod yan?
Me: ..wala. (please don't start..)
Jay: *looks back at Sferm, doing the same reports for our team* Dapat may dagdag man lang sa sahod nyo yan, sayang yung oras at pagod nyo.
Me: Alam ko, but it's how apprentices are... (change subject, di maka-defend) Know what, mauna ka na sa iHooked. I'll try to finish up agad.
Jay: Di na, wala rin naman akong gagawin. Sayang lang pera.
Me: O baka naman wala nang pera? *laughs*
Jay: *chuckles* Ganun na rin yun.

He dozed off in the chair beside me, and later on the infraction was given. Hay! Guilt trip ang lola nyo! Just think, if he went on ahead to iHooked, he wouldn't have fallen asleep in the office. For two straight days I treated him to breakfast as an apology. He didn't ask to, but heck. Next time, I'll really have to do Deep Dive faster. T_T The next day, we were both sitting in the same seats as yesterday.

Jay: Akala ko ba tapos na yan?
Me: Sorry naman! Alam mo namang ansakit sa ulong mag-analyze nito eh. (QA note: mahirap pag-aralan ang pagkakamali ng iba!!)
Jay: *looks in and shifts the LCD monitor to face him* .......
Me: See?
Jay: ......
Me: Pramis talaga, I'll speed this up. Mauna ka na dun. I'll manage.
(later on, he gets called by someone he knows)
Jay: *stands up* labas lang kami.

Several minutes later, deep dive pa rin ang drama ko.

Jay: *upo ulit* ano?
Me: 3 na lang. Kakatapos ko lang nung kay Anadelle. *pouts* sakit sa ulo.
(biglang dating ni Erlyn.)
Erlyn: Oi Kris! Ba't andito pa kayo ni Jay?
Me: Hinihintay nya kong matapos yung Deep Dive ko. >.<
Erlyn: Waa, kayo na ni Jay?
Me: HA?
Erlyn: *laughs*

People in the department are crazy people, and Erlyn is one of them. I know, she came from Team JC. Takes one to know one. I mean, what's my report got to do with Jay? -_- The whole point of this is, the things I do more often than not get other people in trouble. Pain in the ass talaga. To make it worse, this happened on the same day that I recovered from my migraine. Ano baaaaa.

Second sermon: So I had my coaching session with boss yesterday, around past 2AM. It lasted until the end of shift, me in tears (as usual). Noo question about it -- everything she says about what I tell her, it's all truth. Tagos sa buto. Things have been difficult for me these past few months, what with pressure both at work and at home. My personal life is absolutely NOT making things any better. And this was the day after Mike called and told me the reason why he's not contacting me for 2+ weeks. Dude, you might as well have forgotten you had a girlfriend worried sick about you. As I said, if you're planning to go this path, you might as well tell me and let me go. You're not the only one suffering. I've been on the receiving end of the world's problems and I have no one to vent it out to. Thanks for helping. /sarcasm

Sabishii kuse ni
"Kamatte hoshii" iezu ni nankai hanikan da?
How many times have I felt lonely and said,
"I want you to care about me?"

If my boss reads this, I guess this is another reason why you heard me confess the way I did. Kita mo naman reaksyon ko; kalahating oras akong nagkulong sa cubicle ng CR. Pathetic with a capital P. I haven't cried like that since Mike and I last fought. Wooh.

So I was with my dad earlier on and he asked me about my problems at the workplace.

Dad: Alin ang mas madali, yung agent ka lang o yung nadagdagan ka ng QA reports?
Me: Agent lang.
Dad: E di tanungin mo kung pwedeng bitawan. Tutal wala naman palang dagdag sa sahod.
Me: .... *walks on*
Dad: Diba para kang dumampot ng bato tapos pinukol mo sa ulo?
Me: *laughs* parang ganun nga..
Dad: Kung may increase, sana you can say na binalot mo yung bato ng hundred-peso bills. At least it kind of softens the blow.
Me: Parang reward and punishment? At least you suffer for something but get rewarded for it..
Dad: *nods*

This was when I realized, he's right. It goes the same for other stuff you take upon yourself to do, and end up not doing because you lose interest or you lack the motivation to do so. He just has no idea how many times I've thought of doing worse.

But then again, as hypocritical people say, we have to make sacrifices. Whether they're for your own good or for others, you'll experience it at least once in a lifetime. Problem is, you don't know how long you have to keep doing it in order to actually see the results. Speaking of problems, reality check: they're a part of life. You dish it, you deal with it. It's like bubblegum stuck on your pants, it won't go away unless you do something about it.

*sigh*

Yay~ I gots me a dragon!

2008-09-05T01:25:00.007+08:00

I know I said I'll post more cell phone pics last week, but I just had to insert this update. Hehehe. No kidding, I finally have a dragon. XD

I gots a mean look, FEAR ME!!

Most gamers would recognize this: yup, he's the Dragon mobile from Gunbound. w00t~! This is the last piece of the plushie toys from the Gunbound franchise that was stored in the Mobius office. I did beg a certain SOMEONE (grr!) for a Mobius shirt saying "I Hug Noobs", but stoopid Marketing forgot to save me one. To think I've been such a loyal forum moderator for almost a year! Broken promises. Hmph.

Anyways my brother, Iccaro gave me this lil guy last Wednesday when we went out to watch WALL-E. Dude, I tell you I got injured that day, not once but twice. First I woke up stretching, and got cramps on my left leg. Next, my heels got scraped from the leather of my new pumps. Talk about tough luck. My brother had to nurse me back before hailing a farkin' cab to take me back to the office.

Thanks for everything, onii-sama! Till next time, ne? Your treat ulit. >:3 Spoil your little sister! XD

Teh dragon shares my iPod headphones. (he bullied me into it T_T)
Don't tell Dragon I was pouting!

By the way, for a lil' plugging since his blog is hella filled with cobwebs.. Check his GM profile out on the Mobius Forums. Now this is something Pinoy gamers might remember easier. ;)

He insists on playing Konata's version of CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA. lol

I tried searching for pics of this plushie's other 'brothers', but it seems I'm not entering enough key words, or there just isn't any on the Net. Hey lil' guy, you might be the first! XD

Blah, they're all papercraft.

By the way, before I forget.. I'm thinking of reformatting my PC at home because of stupid spyware. It might take a while to get everything back up and running, but hey. I'll probably file a vacation leave for this next week. :p

Note to someone:
Where have you gone?

Note to another someone:
Don't ever do that again! The memory's hard to forget. T_T

Note to one last someone:
If you only asked, I would've said yes. :)

Go figure who these three someones are. ^^

Here are a few snapshots I took over the years. This is just part one so there's more to come. Hehehehe.

Dated: June 9, 2008
First pic was taken in my room where we slept, other three in our living room.
I swore I would not take a pic of myself fresh out of bed. This is solid proof that I look terribly disoriented!

In the last collection of pics, here's how it went:

Pic 1
Me: Omg I haf no eyes.
Rhoda: *laughs*
Me: We have to take this pic again! I'll open my eyes real wide this time.

Pic 2
Me: WTF!?
Rhoda: Wahahaha you look weird ate~ (big sis) XD
Me: This is so frustrating!! Again again!

Pic 3
Me: The smiles are just right, but come on, why the light??
Rhoda: *ROFL*

This is our most recent pic, taken before we separated -- me going to work and her going home. It took me 2 unsuccessful tries which were deleted, she took this one and we were happy with the first try. She takes pics better than I do. Bah! T^T

(Do I look like I've been to the beach? -_-)
She says I got darker. YEEEEEEEY!!!! XDDDD

Yes, those were the days of cam whoring and phone memory abuse. Graaaah.

As I was about to type the first word, I felt my right foot cramp up. Blah!

Anyways, I've been to San Juan, Batangas for team building last weekend, so sorry for not telling in advance. Yan tuloy, I missed the chance to post an update. :( Am still waiting for the pictures since I am merely a photo leech [ I'll buy a digicam next! You watch out! x) ] and I dunno where the hell they uploaded the other pics. I'm sniffing them out of my teammates' Friendster profiles. I was able to find just a FEW, so here they are!

Derick (hati mukha), me, Jackie, Inday and Era
Above: Boss Ger, Boss JC, and on the phone again, Jenn.

At Kabayan Beach Resort, Laiya, San Juan, Batangas.
(Jenn, me, Jackie, Inday, Jay, Era, Ger, Queen, Russel, JC and Derick)

Yes, I know there are only two of them, so 'few' would sound inappropriate.. but that's not the point! >.<

You guys would prolly be rejoicing coz after that I'm sure to be less of the ghost that I am (yehey may kulay na mukha ko!), but unfortunately I'm still a tad bit paler than everyone else. T_T

Kung di lang mahapdi ang sunburn... Grr!

I'll wait for the other pics then upload the lot on Multiply. Can't wait!

P.S.
Shoot me dead, it took me a week to learn how to put photos in my iPod. -.-

iPod!

Yay! I finally got it! Oh and yes, the leather case I bought with it comes in the same color theme as my Mutiply page (pink and brown). KAMPAI! XDDD

You're probably wondering where I went off to for the past couple days due to the lack of posts. Yeah, I've been busy with something else. =.= I spend more of my time reading (!!!) instead of watching now. But I'll try to recap what I've been up to recently.

- finished the Emma manga, and is now looking for Victorian Romance Emma, Second Act
- finished Sherlock Holmes collection, Volume 1, now halfway through "Hound of the Baskervilles"
- finished watching Goong S
- still waiting on Shugo Chara (newest episode out on raw: Episode 43. Dia was sooo kawaii!)
- reading Gakuen Alice manga (now on Volume 6 out of 16? CRAP!)
- still waiting for Saiunkoku Monogatari II episode 33 onwards

I know, it's a busy schedule. XD

Anyway, we're about to have a schedule change again, and I am still in the night shift. Errr, sorry hun T_T anyway I really don't know where to put myself in the many things I want to do. They just keep piling up. And yet I can't stop getting new stuff to pour attention on. Bah. Now I want to watch that Ghost Hunt series because it reminds me so much of Ghosts at School (Gakkō no Kaidan) which is one of my favorites.

Gaaaah! I can barely keep up! (´ロ｀)

Wonderland Online European Server Open Beta Coming Soon!

I just want to tell you that the Wonderland Online European Server Open Beta is coming!!!
WLO is a great game with so many unique systems, including manufacturing and fishing and so on. There's always so much to do!

Due to the increasing population of American servers, the new European Server will be launching very soon. I want to have a try on this new server, because I can have more choices and also the server is close and convenient. No more server lag! A new server means a new start, and I hope we can share in the happiness together.

Iya! Iya! IYAAAA!!! Su-chan kawaii!! faints

Currently Playing: Buono! - Renai♥Rider

Episode 23 of Shugo Chara! was so precious~! I did my best to resist... but.. I... just... can't! >w<

DISCLAIMER: If you haven't watched Shugo Chara! from episode 1, don't go any further! I'll end up giving off too many spoilers yaaaah! @,@

SPOILER starts HERE!!!

So anyway, Su got captured by Nikaidou-sensei and he challenged Amu to come to his research lab. The ep itself begins with Amu running off after school to save Su. Meanwhile at Nikaidou's place, Su tries to catch the ex-teacher's attention (with that irritatingly Reiko Asagiri-ish voice) and succeeds. She also managed to make him appear chibi a couple of times. XD

Cotton pantsu?

Su wanted to clean up the room so Nikaidou lets her out. Outside, Amu, Ran and Miki continue their search for the Easter employee dorm, but end up bumping into Ikuto. He never misses the chance to tease our heroine. Heeeh. -,-

A hit on the head then this? Mean but cute!

Ikuto tells Amu of what he knows on Nikaidou-sensei's actions, and even explains who the 'lord' is: the big boss of Easter company.

Are you threatening her or seducing her!?
Make up your mind! T^T

Ikuto-sama! Waaaaaaaahh! *bites on handkerchief as tears flow like waterfalls* *sniff sniff* Anyway... Su proceeds to clean up the place, then finds the robots that the teacher made in his youth. He gets angsty and asks her not to touch useless things. He went as far as to tell Su about his plans, and why he needs a character transforming heart's egg for his project. Su panicked like hell. XD

Obviously, she revolted. lol

Art done for Su in this frame resembles my drawing style back in High School. @_@ Going back, Amu successfully infiltrates the dorm and is welcomed by an army of robots run by X egg energy. It's time for chara nari!

Chara nari with Miki resembling CCS Sakura-chan's costume.
o.O?

She seemed badly outnumbered when a ball hit one of the robots and there she found the Guardians standing by the door. They took over the horde while Amu looked for Su.

Here come the cavalry?

Before Amu's arrival, Su begged for Nikaidou-sensei to stop. This is where we learn of what happened to his heart's egg and how he deviated from his dream. Amu finally enters the room where Nikaidou and Su are, she is stopped by the X egg energy then Ran asks that she change with her.

Heeeh, it's the boomerang-throwing cheerleader! x3

She throws her baton which shatters the window, the egg machine and frees Su. The bad thing about this is she sets the X egg energy free as well, which leaks out to enter the empty robots' bodies and forms one giant trash heap. o.O Amu was determined to break it, but Su finds the picture of Nikaidou-sensei and his teacher in the monster's core. She requests that she change with Amu to fix things up.

All three character changes in one epi! Sweet! <3

Amu + Su use 'Remake Honey' to return all of the robots to normal, cleanse all the X eggs, and repair Nikaidou-sensei's broken heart's egg. I had no idea where he was hiding it btw.

Sensei's kawaii shugo chara~
(he's unnamed T_T~)

In fact they fixed everything save for the egg machine and the freakin' window. Su! You go fix them with 'pew pew pew!' and miss the freakin' window! >w< 'Scientist' disappears then Su explains that it's not too late to recover his shugo chara, and that it can be renewed as many times as needed. This obviously gives him heart despite his display of 'cool' attitude. In the end, all's well that ends well when he gets fired from Easter, and discovers that he still has a way to revive his childhood dream.

SPOILER ends HERE!!!

Sweet-desu! (´・ω・｀)

In other news, I'm at home sick, AGAIN. On doctor's orders I am supposed to stay at home and rest for 2 days. NOOOOOOOOO!!! We have an apprentice meeting! God if you're really up there, have mercy on me and give my mom temporary memory loss! I need to go to that meeting even if my snot runs all over the place! T^T

Getting lucky for the wrong reasons?

Currently Playing: Eminem feat Nate Dogg - Shake That Ass For Me

Aiyaa!! @_@ I miss loafing around the house doing nothing at all. T.T

By the way, I forgot to record lucky stuff here last week, so here's my lucky receipt:

Dyaraaaan!!

I got randomly selected for a Starbucks survey 2 weeks ago, and if I finish this survey I'll get a code, and I present this to a Starbucks barista who'll give me a free tall beverage of my choice. Kewl, huh? I know. :3

Ate Jenn's first two words to the matter: "Fuck you!"

Ahahahahaha! lmao XDDDDD

Too bad the code's used now, so you won't get anything from it :p

Changes in the workplace
On another hand, our department got transferred to the basement last week. I tell you, it's TERRIBLE down there. Aside from the fact that we don't get any sunshine, the place looks kinda lonely with so very few agents around. Admittedly, the room's not too lonely when the team's there, but knowing my new position, I have to go on overtime almost everyday because I have reports to finish. By the time they're gone, it's like your voice can echo off the walls of the freakin' room. :|

Another thing you can't help but complain about is the restroom ambiance. You have to hold your breath the whole time to survive the suffocating smell. I have no idea HOW some people can endure it. x_x

So here's a recap of what's new in the office:
1) Thrown down to the basement
2) New bay is a sparse, purple color-themed row of tables
3) No sound system
4) The room is big but there's nothing exciting in it
5) Restrooms stink

If my CSAT doesn't do a somersault and go back to being 80-90+, I might go back to being grim. Horrrrr~! x( And I miss the songs playing on Paul's iPod! Pfft~!

We're obviously running outta luck here. =_=

Kawaii-ness rulez
I got to sleep around 4PM yesterday because we took some time going around Waltermart and buying stuff. I also had my first facial done (wahahaha LOL). I bought a GAME! magazine (feature: Cabal Online) and Otakuzine Issue #26 featuring Lucky Star on the cover.

Here are two things I'm into at present:

Item #1: Detective Conan 'toy'?
Can you see the hidden characters?

Item #2 Shugo Chara!
Unlock!

Wahahaha! Kawaii~!! XDD

P.S.
This is a screenshot from Saiunkoku Monogatari Season 2.

Seiran mocking Ryuuki! PRICELESS! XD

Once again, I have strayed off topic. omg

Back to Basics

2008-07-06T03:15:00.005+08:00

Currently Playing: Utada Hikaru - Keep Tryin'

I filed my VL last week, so I have 4 days straight with nothing to do, and all the time to myself. I'm looking forward to having my tired nerves treated to a massage sometime soon (time to use that Suriya gift card!), in fact I already started. I treated myself to foot spa yesterday at Waltermart before I went home. :3

It's been so long since I knew the feeling of relaxed pleasure.

Burn out = Pressure + Exhaustion
The past two weeks have been nothing but hell for me; one blow after another coming in and breaking me into pieces, literally. There was only one sentence that made me realize how much I've changed: "Your style is totally different now.. you're no longer sweet." People knew me for being the cheery neko and always have been the noisy, chattery girl whose giggle was contagious. Well I got to keep the giggle part. But I wasn't happy inside. I never once complained about work, but if people start abusing me, I have a high tendency of breaking. I used to stand up and fight back, but lately I've been feeling too helpless that I couldn't even start to lift a finger. Words used to have more spite, but in the world I am now, that's all they are: just words.

I thought of quitting more than once. This part is normal. But for me to think of morbid things against these people who've been putting me under much strain is another. If I remember correctly, a good friend once told me this: "If looks can kill, you'd be an assassin by now." I was reminded of it when Jenn told me 'how scary I look when I'm not smiling'. (seriously, do I look that bad?) Now I tell him, what good can looks do? I never have free rein, and don't wish for it, coz if I do get that I'll start taking revenge in an underhanded way.

I wish I can make them regret they were ever born.

Lately I've also been feeling that I ought to be with myself, socializing has just not been as fun as it used to be. Ate Jenn, one of my teammates and probably my closest colleague, commented on this odd demeanor she noticed. She said I was isolating myself, expressing worry that my scores may be affecting me too much. Well it's not just that, there's more to it. :( "Think of Dyo isolating herself for a while (after you fought), then think of me, and triple that."

...Ah well, good old days. How I miss them. :(

Dreaming of London
Speaking of taking a vacation, I always wanted to go to London. Not the modern one, I want to see it when it was just the era of steam engines and foggy cobblestone streets. I've always had a place in my heart for this era -- back when I was bumming around at home, I used to sketch how I visualize those days. What was it back then, Victorian period? I just remembered I wanted to watch the second season of Emma: A Victorian Romance. ^_^ Now that I have BitTorrent, I just wished I had time to download eps off the net.

Hey, there's a dog!

I know for sure foot spa hasn't been invented back then. Heck. XD

Searching for Inspiration
2 words: Saiunkoku Monogatari. I'm 10 episodes away from concluding Season 1 on DVD (but I did watch it on Animax too), and the more I watch, the more I'm convinced that after I've taken my rest, I can resume my work with a healthy start.

I'll be watching Season 2 later tonight on Crunchyroll. Watch it and give it a try. Don't let the thought of Fushigi Yugi ruin this series for you. IT IS DIFFERENT.

Anyways, I think it's time I go to sleep. WL Online on fishing and remote mode, all's well. Ta-ta~

Why I never dreamt of becoming a housewife

2008-06-30T00:28:00.005+08:00

...is because of the nightmare posing itself in the guise of budgeting money.

lol

Currently Playing: Sam Concepcion - Kung Fu Fighting

Finally, after weeks of waiting, we finally got to watch Kung Fu Panda at Mall of Asia yesterday afternoon. I know I've been venting out for the last couple of days somewhere else that I'm dying to see the movie, but kept waiting for the chance to see it with the folks -- so I held my ground till my dad got around to Manila for the affair.

Cosplay and its Rewards
Due to the Dress up we held at the office, I asked my mom to come around to Makati at Friday evening to bring my college uniform. The whole team (well, at least the majority) agreed on dressing in uniforms or improvised ones for the occasion, and I guess the fact that things did not end lightly when our shift ended added to the "pressure".

I stayed in the 9th floor with Jackie and left at around 2PM to check on my internet hubs for any interesting updates. At around 4PM, I rushed around the boarding house to meet my mom and prep up for what's to come. I asked her to buy Buko Pie for Lola Cely as a token of our gratitude for letting her stay the night whenever Mom has an appointment the next day. There was an awarding ceremony later on around 10PM (I fetched my award in my uniform, looking exactly when I was still in school, ROFL), and Jackie and I ate our free lunches at Jollibee (yeah well management brought free food from Jollibee, but since our pantry simply looks like a counter because it's THAT small, we carried our food downstairs to the fast food itself. o.O) Did I mention I saw Boss Tim smile at me before we left? I think I should cosplay more. lol

My day ended with me turning my Out of Office Assistant on, and changing my signature as Pam (QAS) instructed. Little did I know that there was more to expect...

A Stay Long Overdue
My dad called several minutes after my shift ended, and informed us that we'll be meeting in MoA later for a little family date. So we set off for my room in the boarding house, and mom busied herself with my laundry (she finds it entertaining) while I caught a few Z's. The flaw in the plan was this: it suddenly poured cats and dogs up there in Bulacan, so my dad called up to say he wants to push through with the date, to which my mom and I disapproved. We postponed it for the next day, Sunday, which meant a lower chance of me getting home to Laguna for some important files that I had to get. =_= This also meant my mom had to sleep over at Lola Cely's again. Pooh.

Patience is a Virtue
I had to wake up at 6AM the next morning but despite the eagerness in the time, my body was far from cooperating with me in the feat. I was sleepy, heck. We went to the Shrine of Jesus to hear the 9:30 mass, and walked off to the department store.

Aside from a momentary disruption by a store clerk in the perfume section, I also amused myself to trying on a few girly outfits that I found at Shapes (endorsed by Toni Gonzaga). I had the sales lady demo how to do a necktie, as I have lousy memory of what Boss JC just showed us how to do the other night before. XD I took a pic of me trying on some stuff. Hahaz! Once I get a hold of the CA-42 cable, I can finally relieve both my 6610i and 6070 of old pics needing storage. lol All the walking made us hungry, and as soon as we met my dad (who btw had difficulty recognizing me, haha), we rushed to the Food court.

The Art of Pigging Out
...lies not in the price nor quantity of the food, but in its quality.

The same goes for work quality, as someone I know often says. Anyway, I had the option to pick the stall I want, and I chose one with Chinese cuisine. I was in need of veggies (I seriously have to consider the vegetarian diet soon) and had an odd craving for lomi. By this time, I urged to have a look see at the cinemas to check if Kung Fu Panda's still showing, but the indoor tourist trolley attracted my attention. XD This is no childhood issue mind you, but I think you'd agree with me that a free tour of the mall would do you not only relaxed sight seeing, but also a sense of pride in having people ogle at you like you're a celeb. MWAHAHAHAHALAFLAF XD I had the delight of seeing a woman shriek, "Ay Diyos ko po, may sasakyan sa loob!" then later whisper, "Bakit may sasakyan sa loob?" *sigh* newbs. XD XD XD

Searching for Pandamonium
We at last came to a stop exactly where we first rode on the trolley, then set out for silverscreen. I was somewhat disappointed to find that they are no longer showing on the regular cinemas. But we had one last hope -- IMax. We walked off then took the stairs to the entrance of the theater. I found to my delight that they were still showing it, and the next show starts in about 40 minutes. Yay! The bad thing is, earlier in the Food court, my dad complained that I haven't treated him for my birthday and for Father's day, as well as for my recent promotion. x_x At that moment, I just felt like the world was crushing me for I have unknowingly committed myself to shelling out 900 bucks for watching the movie.

To pay for the fee, I needed to encash since they won't accept my ATM debit at IMax. Luckily, my dad rose to the occasion and gave me his extra cash, and to my surprise, he said it's partial payment for the money he borrowed. Weh. -.- so in other words, I still have to pay for the movies. I began to feel that I promised more than I should give myself credit for. T.T

Well in the end, it wasn't entirely a loss. It's very rare for my dad to watch a movie and not fall asleep, and during the course of the film, he laughed his wits off and so did the rest of the audience. Kung Fu Panda is AWESOME! <3

iPod misadventures
I asked my dad for a stroll 'round the techie block so I could search for the MAC Center while he lines up at the Smart Center for a follow up. We discussed when exactly I'll buy my prospect gadget and I told him maybe I will purchase it another time. He was offering to use his BPI card then I'll pay off the monthly installments to my mom. With the payroll just around the corner, I couldn't help but feel agitated that I don't have money yet, so I told him I'll save it for another time.

I need to save up for a lot of stuff, WAAAAAH. T^T anyway, I'll eventually get there. *sigh*

Zzzz. Sleep la.

Tuna Chronicles of 2008

2008-06-15T20:52:00.005+08:00

Currently Playing: Ayumi Hamasaki - Fly High (Original Mix)

One happy Sunday morning (the day after I had my hair cut), me and my younger sister were having a light chat while watching Ouran on DVD.

"Nga pala, happy 2nd anniversary!" went my sister with her usual wide, toothy grin.

I looked at her, puzzled and said, "What anniversary?"

"It's your 2nd year celebrating being twenteen years old na!"

... "Oh... right. @_@?"

Yes, your resident crazy cat just gained another year on this barren world of nonsensical existence. lol

Office Rampahan

Everyone knows when they hear someone say "Question?", it's gotta be Jules -- the morning shift senior agent on the floor who has a habit of making rampa in between the bays. While I was prepping up for work on a hot, Monday afternoon, I remembered that I should wear wedges with the slim jeans. Unbecoming of me right? I just thought "para maiba", after all, it's formally the first day I'll be going around in my new do.

The element of surprise struck the team like they never knew what hit them. XD Though I really think some of them had violent reactions at first ('Anong ginawa mo sa buhok mo!?' with galit-shocked-disappointed expression) but later on, they just learned to accept that what's done is done and I've already had about 12 inches of my hair cut off from me forever. (basically 3 months, it'll grow back by then)

I remember Jon, one of our QAS, saying the Saturday before that during the Ten Royalties' Night Out, that I looked like Boss JC already (oh and YES she was shocked XD) and this too: "Nakow, maiinlab nyan lalo sayo si Russel Sustiguer!" Foul Jon, foul! >.< I think nabati niya ako since Russel said the same thing on Monday. Knowing Russel, I'm sure he passes it off as a joke. @_@; I'm having fun styling my hair in an anime-ish fashion now that it's short XD I can do Yuna and Selphie now~ Perhaps if I come to work wearing a yellow jumper, I can have a valid excuse for trolling around the bay and bugging the hell off people. (as if I don't do that enough XD!) Come to think of it, Jon said he'll send the pics to our personal emails. Haven't received them yet. =_=;

Wandurrland
Due to my being sick and having a busy work schedule (wth do I do? Just work and sleep =_=), I barely have any time to play at all. Next thing I knew, Cancer server is up. I migrated there. XD I finally discovered how to get the secret character Breillat from Ocean Star, so that's what my character looks like right now. I'm in the headgear business again. lol

If you're selling your tiger, I'm buying! Shoot a PM at Ame-chan. I often grace Cancer 3 with my presence but I prefer marketing at 1 or 2. :p

As Gascogne says, "Smile, smile!"

I guess that's it for now, I've ran out of stories to tell. I'll be watching Kung Fu Panda tomorrow, hehe.

Dear friends, I'm now playing Wonderland Online. Do you want to join me and thousands of others around the world? WLO is great because it has so many unique systems, including manufacturing, and fishing. The new server “Gemini” will be launched very soon. A new server means a new start. Let's play it together.

An Episode on Nostalgia

2008-06-04T09:32:00.005+08:00

Currently Playing: JoJo - Too Little, Too Late

Do you guys remember when I ranted after my first payroll that I had to pay more than 1k for a check up and medicines? Well it just happened again. Migraine plus abdominal pains made me take 2 days of absence. My double pay next week won't be enough to compensate for this! Gawd! T^T

Anyways, it took way too much time for me to post this update. This is the phone I won from the office raffle two weeks ago. It's a Panasonic Digital Cordless Phone, worth roughly 2,000 PhP.

Now I'm planning to sell the dang thing to earn money for something I can really use. It's not that I can't use the phone, it's just nobody uses the landline at home anymore. Mah. XD

Pichoors:

Oha, naka-on pa sya! (still plugged eh)

Parts with teh manual in Arabian

I'll post the other pictures when I decide to really sell the phone. >:3 But I have to think of what card to use first. Darnit. Bakit kasi di pwede yung payroll ATM ipang-register!? Waaaahhh.

While we're on the topic of nostalgia, I finished downloading that game I was raving about in a previous post. It goes by the name of Wonderland Online. Here's a lil' taste of the game so far.

This ally can be employed through a quest.

My main character visiting the North Island Hot Spring for the first time. >:3
It's wholesome I tell you, WHOLESOME!

I can play two characters simultaneously without exhausting my system.
I let my main go AFK fishing while my second goes questing.
Btw that's how we catch monsters to be pets, we DRAG them to our side. XD

Here she is with her wand!

Strong points:
- almost everyone loves 2D!
- the game battle system is turn-based. Think classic PS1 RPG baby!
- kawaii characters available
- quests vary in difficulty
- it's LEGAL to AFK while farming/grinding
- low system requirements
- client is easy to download, patches easy to get
- integrated mining and combining systems set as player skills
- advanced item manufacturing system
- catch-(almost)-any-monster pet system
- awesome animated frames
- seamless 2D interaction
- international server!
- the best of all... it's F2P FOREVER! Mwahahahalaflaflaf.

Weak points:
- leveling is pretty slow if you don't know where to go
- repetitive killing. But all RPGs are like that
- gold is hard to earn
- character automatically logs out on its own and the problem's not in my internet connection

I'm sure they can get the weaknesses of the game down pat sometime soon, the game's fairly new so don't expect a flawless game yet. I'll make an even more detailed post about Wonderland Online next time. For those who badly miss the good old times (at B*** *C oh noes!! :O) with the trusty PlayStation, it's worth checking this game for what it's worth. ^_^

So being in the Customer Service business does have its perks, especially in my account -- the "work" we do is something I am very comfortable with. It's something I personally can't complain about. The enjoyment I get off it overshadows whatever undesirable policies the client has. Ahaha! Shh.

Anyhoo a few weeks ago, I had this one conversation that I had to note down because I promised I'd listen to the song when I get the chance. The member said there was this song by Matthew Sweet entitled "Evangeline", and asked if I heard of it. I honestly said no, and he recommended the song to me. You can say it's some kind of dedication, or maybe he just remembered due to my alias. lol

Whoever you are (I'm sorry I forgot your name! XD), thanks! I liked it. :3

Title: Evangeline
Artist: Matthew Sweet

She's on another planet
She's in my dream
She's some kind of angel
If you know what I mean
Try her on
She fits like a glove
Too bad she only thinks about
The lord above

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

Now if I called you up
Do you think you
Could deliver my soul?
Won't you take a drink
Little darlin'
The cup is full

And every night I bow to pray
But I'll feel a whole lot better
Once you're coming my way

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

So come on down

So tell me how you want it
Come on, tell me how you want it
Just tell me how you want it

Just tell me how you want it
We won't be seen
You can tell your father
It was all a dream
[try her on she fits like a glove]
Too bad the only man you trust
Is god above

Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

Now Evangeline Evangeline
I think I love you
But Evangeline Evangeline
I want you

She's some kind of angel
If you know what I mean
Evangeline

Sweet, ya? :3

I'm currently downloading a Free-To-Play MMORPG which reminds me of Valkyrie Profile's battle scenes (well the fonts they used for the attack damage looked similar at first glance, blame my eyes!), and the game graphics kind of resemble my favorite 2D games for PlayStation.

I downloaded a full version of BeTrapped! via BitTorrent (if you noticed, I had it open while I changed my Multiply page layout XD) and played the Adventure game. I started at around 2am and finished everything around 7. Winner!

BeTrapped! Initial Screen

BeTrapped! is a mystery game wherein you have to disarm traps, the clues are provided ala Minesweeper, and you finish the level as soon as you get rid of all traps in the room. There's no time limit. There are two available game modes: Puzzle and Adventure, and 3 difficulty levels for Puzzle: Easy, Medium and Deadly.

Puzzle would give you a series of boards and your score will be based on number of misses committed, number of lives left, and how much time it took for you to solve the board. You only have 3 misses and 3 lives to spare, and they don't get replenished after each board.

Mode: Puzzle / Level: Deadly

Adventure is its so-called "Story mode", which sends the protagonist, Inspector Parker, on his mission at Ravencourt Castle where the heiress' life is believed to be in danger. There's a wonderful twist in the end, and I got really dismayed that I didn't know how to play the damn last level. I didn't get a perfect score because of it. T_T It's a good thing I can do the investigation part all over again, hence I got this score:

Ang daya! lol

After a few hours of fun, I decided to play one of my old skool faves.

Meh, used to be able to do it in less than 200 secs.

Question: How does it feel like to realize that you've been played with like a doll, then set aside once you get boring? How would it feel like to be robbed of everything and left alone?

Wow. Deep. Nvm I guess. kthxbai

This is what they meant by "look before you leap".

2008-05-18T15:05:00.006+08:00

I interpret it as think before you speak. In this case, before you type.

Read on to know what I mean. I chose to take screenies of the chatlog from my Webmessenger archive, pasting the typed log isn't convincing enough. (Translation below)

Disclaimer: I hid our YM IDs because it's too troublesome to just cover up mine. I'm "h", he's "a". These are the last characters on our Yahoo! IDs.

Translation:

a: BUZZ!!
h: eh?
a: (you're selfish ...)
h: (what have I done to you now?)
a: tsk
h: (I don't know what you're saying)
a: (you've been selfish over just that)
h: make it clear
h: (WHAT IS IT WHY DON'T YOU GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT?) =_=
a: amaryllis
a: (been selfish over that)
h: MY GOD! (is it my fault I gave her to someone else even before you asked me for it!?)
h: don't blame me
h: (don't expect that I'd make an announcement about me quitting)
h: JEEZ
a: (a bit)
a: (I asked for it even before)
h: (you didn't ask for it when I was still active)

h: (and even if you asked for it, why would I give it to you? I was still playing with it)
a: tsk
a: tsk
a: tsk
h: (do you have any other arguments here?)
a: (you've been selfish)
a: (*sigh*)
h: (if nothing else) don't bother talking to me
h: everytime
h: (you talk to me)
h: on YM
h: (or SMS)
h: (it's always like this)
[at this point he signs out]
h: (are you sick in the mind?)
h: pathetic.
h: (you just pick on a fight)
h: (without any basis)
h: (if there is, your argument's just nonsense)
h: (think first why don't you!)

Note: The argument was about my Lineage 2-SEA account, and my Elven Elder character named Amaryllis. This guy seemed to think I'd give him my account just like that because he asked for it in the past.

The guy I argued with here is a former member of my old Audition club (which has now evaporated from the forefront btw), Pussyfierz. He was an ex-bf of one of the club founders. She had no apparent contributions to the community by herself. Now there's your trivia.

Now those who know me since I started playing that I never entrusted my accounts to ANYONE ELSE if I quit that game. This is the first time I did it, and I gave my accounts to my boyfriend. Nothing weird in that right? There's a first for everything.

Back to topic, the argument is just soooooo shallow, right?

I never meant to lose my temper, but this really happens everytime. I'm starting to think the guy's nothing but RETARDED.

Hey you! You know who you are. If you're reading this post, STOP BOTHERING ME!

Sad. Boss went on VL so the bay's not as happy as it usually is. The atmosphere's just bland without her (already) normal presence around us. :| Hopefully they enjoy their stay in Baguio though. She definitely needs the rest.

Right now, I'm not as excited to type this update since the feeling evaporated. Thinking about what I said above really ruined it. Anyhoo, here's the GC I got for being one of the program's Top Performers:

My ticket to a Starbucks tumbler

I can finally cross out one of the items on my wish list next week. =3 Now there's a happy thought.

Phone Flurry
Bad news comes our way when Alex got the phone examined, and said it was broken -- the guy from Wellcom, whoever he is said maybe it's the mechanism or the OS, but when Mike had it tested in a repair center near his place, the phone worked. Now I hate thinking badly against my fellowmen (which incidentally, I am soooo used to doing..?), but it's inevitable to hazard a guess that he didn't want the phone after all. He ended up buying a brand new phone, and had to borrow money from a friend to do it too. = =;

I was expecting a full blown sermon from Mike, that he would be accusing me of the canceled sale because the phone accidentally dropped in Glorietta when I was searching the box for the phone manual. He didn't seem emotionally affected about it, but he is kind of worried about the refund. I saw his ATM account and was shocked and disheartened to find his salary for the first half of the month.

After money talks, I just thought of how I'm supposed to budget my payroll, since I'm planning to buy a new phone. Though frankly speaking, I'm not sure if I'm ready to buy one yet. It's like "damned if you do, damned if you don't". Do you ever get that feeling? I know in myself that I want a new phone, and would really need a new phone (necessity and luxury -- reward for work), but I just don't want to shell out so much money for one that would satisfy both my wants and needs. See? Call me OC, but it's just how I am. *meep meep* ¯3¯;

*Alex recommended I get a Motorola unit... thinking... thinking...*

Ame-chan the Bookworm Geek
By the way, I missed out on posting an update for the books I bought last week on eBay. Here they are now.

My all time favorite fiction character who is NOT an anime character, the Master Detective Sherlock Holmes. He's the same guy who inspired me into falling in love with the mystery genre. I'm crazy about it -- mystery games, novels, short stories, anime series + manga, and everything inspired by crime and murder. I know I said in the past that I get awfully frightened by the sight of blood, but anything synthetic's fine with me. My brain has this knack for distinguishing the real from the fake. (´・ω・｀)

The weird thing about it is that I never developed a liking for CSI. It's similar in many ways, but I just never found it in me to like the series. At all. Maybe because AXN's schedule clashes with my school schedule back then, but that's not the only reason. I could've bought a whole collection of episodes when I made a trip to Quiapo with Joey, but heck. I just didn't make the move.

This brings me to the conclusion that I just enjoy watching detectives on anime, and reading English mysteries tackling forensic work and police investigations and stuff. Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh, ignore the post title. It was just my way of summarizing what I babbled about on this particular update. lol

P.S.

Tomorrow Alex gets his new phone! Wai~!! I'll be hitting two birds with one stone actually. So yeah, I'm celebrating. XD Are you wondering why? Then allow me to explain. *ahem ahem*

Hubby tried to sell his phone on eBay.ph but the winning bidder turned out to be a stud and didn't even contact him after. The other interested buyers already got tired of WAITING for his reply to their messages, so after almost a month, the phone still hasn't been sold.

Teh ever elusive 6260~

By pure luck or divine intervention, I saw Alex's status on YM, saying he's buying a second hand phone: preference, flip/PDA. (oh damn, I had to ask him what he called the phone again XD) I messaged him, asked him if he's interested in a Nokia 6260, and voila! Instant buyer.

Once the phone's sold, I can get back at least a part of what is owed to me. Yay! In addition to this, Alex can finally graduate from his ancient 1100! Double yay!! So yeah, I do make a good median at times. >:)

Hey, maybe I should apply as a Trading Assistant somewhere.......... hohohoho~

In other news, I got an award in the office last night~~ turns out I got my arse into the Top 10 agents with highest CSAT scores. Waiii~! I stayed for free food (tangina I sound like a glutton), and all along I actually had a REASON for standing out the ceremony. LOL.

I really wanted to thank you for cheering me up this afternoon. its ok, you didn't forget 'cause you weren't actually here hehe. I found your site by looking for neko95, a desktop buddy. not as much fun as I remember on my old pc. I blame my evil vista. I guess I should explain, when I got home I had nothing to do but I read a bit about your life and it seems really interesting, alot more than mine :P and also I read alot of your friend quotes. I liked specially the one about paper. so my day turned to be fun 'cause your music has been playing all aftenoon, i knew a couple of songs but the rest I was very glad to get to know. gotta eat dinner now, take care. and thank you. I'll stop by more soon.

I thought going back home to Laguna would give me a chance to rest from the work I left at Makati. I was wrong.

When I went online on YM around past 12, I got to talk to some people and ended up calling a meeting for 5 people - 2 officers (including me), 2 club members and 1 former member of the club in question.

In the end, the article which was the root of the discussion was edited, and all evidence erased. All that remains is our chat transcript.

It's tiring, really. All of it.

Meanwhile, I was in a conversation with a new found friend from L2, who is an active forumer and blogger at the same time. Soon after the meeting ended (unsatisfactorily to my taste), we were still talking until me and the hubby entered the confrontation stage.

How am I supposed to make the blog update with me in this state?

This reminds me, I haven't finished the promotion for the net café. Damn.

I know it's been like... ages since I last updated this blog. It's true what they say -- when you have love life and/or work, you just don't have much time for anything else. This has become the case with me. I'm not blaming it or anything, I love my work. And I love how he disturbs my life. (lol peace tayo ha XD) Pero nakakamiss intindihin ang sarili mo tulad ng nagagawa mo dati. :)

Where should I start? Riiiiight, I know. :3

Audition Tourney @ i-Hooked Buendia
I don't remember when exactly this tourney was held, but I WAS THERE! XD We didn't take pics of the event but Sir Jason (GM Lowe), Sir Toby (GM Psybot), Alex (Croze), bheja and kitsune- can stand witness to this. I also remember going there 2 days before the Audition Free Play, and I told two employees that their Audition program isn't working. =_= So when Alex told me he was fixing the program on EACH Free Play PC, I wasn't the least bit surprised.

I volunteered to assist Alex in fixing about 15 units (O2Jam/Audition PCs) and I got him to treat me to lunch. WHEEEE! I also got Sir Jason to give me an i-Hooked pin. Double WHEEEE! (I got this pinned on my SGS lanyard btw *ebul laff*) AND I also got myself an e-Games goodie bag even though I didn't win the tourney. Ohohohoho! Sarap~ >:)

iHooked Pin! >:3
Aw leche, kita ID ko!

The fondest memory I had of that experience was the fact that kitsune- told me I was the only one playing in Tab mode during the tourney. No wonder people were staring when I got up from my seat. I mean, I knew I lost, and I was definitely not the only girl there (hello, bheja was there) but why stare at me?

kitsune-: Ikaw kaya pinapanood ko, ang galing mo naka-Tab ka, tinuro nga kita kay J---- (famous player na sumali dun, mamaw din)

Holy ----, yah it was my 15 minutes of fame. LOL. Pero natalo pa rin ako eh! T^T

Aside from that, let's try to forget the cellphone scenario.

Office Update
...and I hear Gian yell out, "HMO! HMO! HMO!"

*laff trip*

So anyway, we got transferred to a different account after H&R Block finished its stint in our Makati office. According to reports from my subordinates (ano daw?) some were assigned to... oh wait, I almost forgot - I'm bound by a Code of Confidentiality. LOL. Going back, I think some of the best agents got distributed to various accounts in the company. We were among those who luckily got transferred to the best account in SGS Makati. w00t~!

The account was ramping up so our wave (Wave 6) had 3 training sessions simultaneously ongoing in different parts of EBP. I was fortunate enough to belong to Wave 6C, by far the best batch (hey, we're the good guys. BIAS!!!) and when we hit the floor, most of us were raking in the 100's in CSAT.

The bad thing about that is... more among Wave 6 were raking in 50%-0%. So... yeah. But that's not what I wanna focus on.

During our DST and Nesting period, we were training under Kaye, who's the same age as me and was born in the same month (June). She's from Wave 2 of the account, and has only been in the company for 4 months (and YES she's already a trainer man!). I remember she was so happy to announce she's just been regularized. Nice, huh? Oh btw, her name's also Kristina. Hehehe! ;)

Here are a few pics of Wave 6C with Kaye. I'll type down the names only for the first pic.

Domination II - did it really dominate?
April 6 was probably the busiest day of my life this year. First, I left Sta. Rosa around 10AM, then went to SM Sta. Rosa with me folks. Yay, I got me permanent SM Advantage card! No more "Temporary" plastered on it! Pfft! >:3 After some window shopping and lunch, mom and I left for Makati. I told her we had a team building event in the office so I had to go back earlier. Truth is, I was making an excuse to sneak over to eGames' Anniversary event, Domination II. It's a few weeks earlier than supposed to be (I'll explain more on this later) so I was taken by surprise on how soon it was held this year.

I went to the office before 2PM as originally planned, but my mom insisted to stay there and have dinner with me (!!!) after the activity. Desperate times call for desperate measures so yours truly had to make magic... Unfortunately, I still left the boarding house at past 5. Well past what I planned! Pfft. I arrived at SMX by 6PM. And I even took a farkin' taxi. =_=

When I got there, them folks were already awarding stuff to the cosplayers (who btw had a LOOOOW turnout - most of them were in MEGAMALL, I wonder why!) and I met my big brother Kenny (a.k.a. Iccaro) in front of the crystal box, where he was standing, taking pictures. Speaking of pics, I havta get our pics from him! >:3

Much later after that, I decided to drop by the Audition booth, where I got to see the Audi Interview staff (Bry, Miko, Will, Rakie, Lune?) being awarded for their "contributions to the community". Nice one guys. ;) I was lucky enough not to be interviewed. Hehehe! Me no like exposure. :| Rakie also took pics of us in the Evil Quartet (and I have yet to see them uploaded). Hooo boy, I've got a stack of updates waiting to be dished out. WHY did I wait this long to update!? T^T

Picture picture with Jesse @ Audition Free Play area!
Sayang wala na si Lolo, didn't get to show him I'm in green! XD

Ehem! Going back to topic, we left the grounds around quarter to 8 to zoom over to Megamall for the last event of the day.

oZine Fest '08 - where cosplayers OWNED!
We dropped Issa off at the MRT station and then it was just me, kuya and Jesse in the taxi. oZine Fest was held in Megatrade Hall 2, and when we got there, we didn't have to pay for the entrance fee anymore. Nice work with the winking, Kuya. Maybe I should try it next time too? XD So when we got there, the guy at the stage was already giving out (I mean literally throwing away) 'Thank you' posters, and I got to pick one up. I was too stupid to grab the other one for Jesse, who went into a lil' tantrum... until I got us a Level Up! paper bag for FREE. Wahahaha! Btw, the oZine posters had Haruhi in them. Alex said he would've killed me if it was him with me, and I didn't get him his own poster. (I'll post a pic of that poster soon! XD)

So~ evidencia por favor...

Serious look (kuno, pero halos tumili yan sa tuwa nung nakuha yung bag)

I'll do a fast forward and skip to what else we got from Domination II...

Ayan o smiling na, with Audition + Granado Espada installers~
(bakit mukhang edited sa Photoshop?)

And here's us showing off the stuff we got from 3 gaming companies!

L2 Kamael poster + Audition poster + LU! paper bag!

WAHAHAHAHAHAHA ROFL ROFL ROFL XDDD

Wala kaming pagsidlan ng saya nung araw na yun sa Megamall, I swear. I felt it was all worth the effort. Take note, I didn't get to eat dinner that night. My ghaaaad!

Finaleeh, here are some more pics of us @ oZine:

Good thing we got these pics before they tore the stage down. Whew!

Oh, did I mention we got about 20 or 30 L2 posters? Yep, these would be up for grabs. I'll be giving away a few through a promo @ our shop, and some will be given away for free to friends. ;)

So, why were there 2 events??
I did mention that my brother works for Mobius. Meanwhile, I have good connections with some people in e-Games, and we got a guildmate working as a GM for Level Up! (Terachi). My kuya also found Dexter (an old officemate) who is now working for AMDG. Along the discussion lines, I heard that the reason why Domi II was held in advance this year, was because oZine and AMDG blocked them off from MegaMall... So they held Domi II in retaliation. Hmmmm..... issue ba itetch? Tarush!

Well, my brother did say something like this, "e-Games plays aggresively, to the point of them getting dirty in the process. I mean c'mon, why launch Cabal Online without installers? That's even worse than the GE Launch, at least THEY had installers, and the game can already be played then!" Not his exact words, but that was about it in a nutshell. Our friends in LU! also laughed at the Cabal issue. Heh. It's normal with competition, ya? ^^;;

...After that event, I didn't doubt what my Kuya said at all.

On a happier note, I'll post an update on SOS Bulletin soon for the Pre-Kamael Launch! Watch out for it. I'll also upload the pics as soon as I get them from Rakie. ;)

Anyways, I fetched my pet from his office yesterday to do window shopping at Megamall. I know I said I might go to the Evolution event @ SM Southmall to support e-Games, but he didn't want to go for personal reasons. Besides, pareho kaming walang tulog. xD So we went malling instead.

http://bangusresto.com/

So we went here yesterday for lunch, and found out how FREAKIN' expensive it was = =; naghati na kami sa gastusin. LOL. Though I have to admit -- the Lumpiang Bangus was delicious. =P~~

One funny thing about that is: we finished all 4 courses and two heaping servings of rice, while the lesbo couple and rich-guy-and-seemingly-GRO-girl on either side of our table ate only two courses each, and get this: they had the remainder of their meal taken out in a doggy bag. ANG TAKAW NG PET KO LOL!

(and he says I should lose weight, pffft!)

Here's what we ate: Check the Menu list HERE)
Lumpiang Bangus
Lumpiang Capampangan
Sirloin Tapa
Laing
2 Plain Rice
2 Buko Juice

...+ service charge and VAT. Holy --

We agreed it to be our advanced 1st month anniversary treat. LOL!

But it's true -- what I said. For the first time in 3 years I was able to say I love you without feeling anything other than love. That's got to account for something, right?

Question of the day:

What do you tell a person when you want that person to leave you alone without hurting the person's feelings and keeping your friendship?

I've exhausted all my options now. Ang hirap pala talagang makipag-argue sa kapwa mo Isko/Iska. Di kayo matatapos mag-debate. Freakin' hell! @_@

When will you accept that friendship is all I can offer you? Goodness.

On a happier note, I went to my school earlier today to request for my ToR and met quite a few of my previous professors. I also got to chat with the Dean of College of Education, Dr. Lorica. Wehehehe, he remembers me :3 (not to mention my promise of writing an official letter stating my suggestions for school system improvement. C-R-A-P @___@) Most of them were disappointed to know I started working already because of financial problems that are already this deep *gestures a hand under my chin*, and they all suggested that I go back to school next June and apply for a Student Assistant position. Aside from the 50% discount on tuition fees, they say by next sem SA's will also get monthly allowances. Holy shit! If that happens, I can continue my farkin' studies and get moolah, AND play L2! (I hope there's an opening for a work-from-home Forum Moderator by that time, ahahahaha XDDD)

What really brought my spirits up is the amount of praise I received from them, encouraging me to go back to school because they actually believed in me. Well duh, it's the first time in several years that I was recognized for academic achievements. The last was like, 1st year college -- but that was before I lost my scholarship because stupid Mr. I-don't-remember-his-name (I just remembered: Clariño!!!!) gave me a 5.0 for Math17... so I guess the last time was when I got the 2nd highest score in the school for the National Elementary Assessment Test (NEAT) way back 6th grade, surpassing our second 'sabit lang ako' valedictorian, Arlene Enero. LOL. You should have seen the indignation in her mother's face when she found out. IT WAS PRICELESS. >:) Ah, memories. *sigh*

(being called the black horse of the batch was a funny thing for me then. I thought it was because of my long sun-streaked hair, like a horse's tail. AHAHAHA amp)

Stuff today got me so worked up. I'll be out full force by tonight's Raid Boss meet. LOL. >:)

You may think it's not necessary for me to post such, but seeing my friend in that "tight spot" on her own isn't my cup of tea. I had to act. =P

Oh, this is what she said btw:

It took quite a few takes to get all her typos down pat, so the previous convos are invisible. (have to press F3 to make them reappear) hahaha LOL!

Grabe you really have to appreciate the value of real sleep when you go on awake for more than 24 hours. x_x

Going to the Launch event held last Saturday, January 12, 2008 @ SM Mall of Asia was a real sacrifice for me -- first because I haven't slept a blink, second because I had to borrow pocket money from the dorm caretaker (who by the way told on me, buti na lang magaling akong magsinungaling kahit paano) and third, I got home soooo late that night, I thought I'd faint on the jeepney ride home. It's kinda scary traveling alone at night, especially then when both my phones' batteries died on me. My third phone is actually already dead, and occasionally comes back to life as long as a charger is kept attached to its butt. Unbelievable! =.=

Anyways I enjoyed the event as a whole, even though I got a paperbag full of freebies from the events, I had to leave it with Gel (koosh) because it would raise my mom's suspicion if I had it with me on the way home... I plan to claim it on Tuesday afternoon. Hehe. Besides that, I still feel sore that I felt too sick during the event to explore the merchandise. I would've wanted to buy me a pendant as a souvenir... =( oh well, next time. Ilibre mo naman ako Mike! T^T

Thanks to Niko (Mekhet) for the ID lace! Now I can wear my company ID and shove it under the lady guard's nose! WAHAHAHAHA!!! XD

I'll post pics as soon as they're available. :P

A Gloomy New Year

2008-01-01T12:43:00.000+08:00

Currently Playing: Appleseed on DVD

I see you read the title. Wanna know why? Here's the reason:

Drugs.

What a way to start 2008 -- at home with the sickness. lol

I've been busy these past few days with work training. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to disclose this since I'm bound by the confidentiality agreement blah blah... meh, it's just papers anyway.

Never mind the scribbles, those are my answers. lol

Sutherland's training program is dubbed as the "Center of Learning", aka COL. Near hire and hired trainees undergo this, naturally. There are a few differences from other company training facilities (it was well pointed out by our trainor and my co-trainees). I can summarize it as "tight screening". x_x Just a few days ago, we were even given an assignment and a take home quiz, look here:

It's like High School English... no, Elementary English all over again!

We have an EOP ('English Only' Policy) inside the training rooms; if possible, even outside the premises. It can drive you crazy if you have difficulty stringing 2 English words together.

So back to the topic of 'gloomy'. My training schedule is an inconvenient 3PM-11PM and we stay in freezers... I mean, 10 degree training rooms almost the whole time. This kinda got accumulated, hence, the sickness. Strepsils has become my new best friend, and I have acquired a new skill as a bartender -- mixing hot and cold water in my bottle. Nice.

So now I can safely enumerate the drugs above (clockwise): Orofar (my lozenge), Centrum (multivitamin), Neozep (for colds), Caltrate (for my bones), Amoxicillin (antibiotic) and Robitussin gel (for cough). T_T

Although I can say this training has shown some pros, such as me picking on my mom (kidding), letting her nag while I pig on my rushed dinner (half true), driving mom nuts waiting for me (ok, I didn't mean this) and having an excuse to not contact her (hey, cellphones are not allowed, duh!) the cons still outweigh them and I might have to stay somewhere in Makati to make the whole situation a bit easier. This means less time to play Lineage 2. Crap. T_T Mike will have to hold the fort while I'm away... he's perfectly capable after all, he can manage without me. *sob*

It's 1PM and I gotta go back to sleep... still got notes to transfer dammit.

My scratch notebook, steno and temp ID.

P.S.
Upon distributing the stenos, Mitch said, "Salary deduction!" and we all gaped at her. Oh yeah. Nice joke missy. x_x Speaking of gaping, our training room is somewhere up.... high. The first time we (my team) went out for a 15-minute break, the elevator didn't make stops on the way down, and it took us 2-3 seconds to register the fact that we reached the Ground floor. LOL.

So, ugh... Happy new year?

One last piece of news: Istar el' Adere joined the Ascendance alliance yesterday, completing the triad with Infinity and InfinityXT. I can say one thing for sure: Umeko's brought Istar a long way.

"Good things never last" is taboo here. lol

Ok so Lai left for the States and life goes on for us left in the Philippines. I wonder if she got there just fine? Haven't got mail from her yet. How long does it take you to get to US by plane?

Grabe I miss the girl already. It's just not the same you know... Ok so we don't spend that much time together, but there's still a difference between knowing she's somewhere in the neighborhood and knowing she's thousands of miles away from you.

LAI! PASALUBONG NAMIN HA!!! T^T

Wahaha. Joke. NOT.

Preparation Phase
Wow, it's like going through NSTP2 lessons all over again. Nyahahaha! We had to think of the schedule, the food, the activities, the gifts... So in the end we settled with these:

DATE: December 12, 2007; Wednesday
TIME: Whole day
VENUE: Joey's house
Food sponsored by Naie and Joey
Activities include eating and anime marathon

I sent a group message to the three stooges on the night of 11th, saying I may not make it to the party until very late in the afternoon, due to an emergency trip we had to make to Balintawak. They actually believed it. Booya!

The Surprise
So I arrived @ Joey's around 2PM, actually much later than originally planned, because I was waiting for her message saying she's home. And because I spent about 2 hours in the bath, I didn't read her message as soon as she sent it. Hehe, sorry Joey~ x3

So there I was, being ushered into their home. The next few minutes, I found myself being buried alive under about ten pillows on her bedside. LOL. It was our idea of a surprise, since the other two didn't know we were faking it. *ebul laff* We chatted there while watching So Happy Together till we heard voices calling from outside the gate. That was our cue: she buried my face and it was oven toaster mode again.

At around 2:30 PM Naie and Anna arrived, and yes, I heard them bickering in the kitchen before I realized I stopped breathing under all the pillows. I heard Joey yell out "Pakisara yung TV ha!" and, counting to 7 (I stopped short of 10), jumped out from my prison and caught Anna stuttering "Sabi ko na e, sabi ko na nga ba eh!" Naie and Joey came rushing to the room and giggling, Naie wrestled me on the bed (not really ala lesbian wrestling lol), tickling the shit out of me. Talk about getting punished for making the biggest surprise of the party. *my whole body ached for 3 days after this btw*

A GP re-enactment of the deathly tickle scene: Katey (top) and Angela (bottom)
No yuri involved.

Food! Yey!
I must stress that the true highlight of the event is the food preparation. Okay so I didn't pay for squat, but I did bring a cake for the occasion; I wasn't sure they've tasted Dulce the Leche yet. Glad I bought one... it made a nice combo with Anna's graham ice cream. :3 So anyway, we worked on the Carbonara sauce there: Anna started the sauté assisted by Joey, Naie grated the cheese (and I helped her with it because she used a freakin' FORK) while we prepared the other sauce ingredients. It took us another two hours to get the sauce done. Goodness.

(I was secretly praying Tito Celso doesn't catch us at work, nakakahiya kasi CHEF pa naman sya! x_x Good thing he kept well away from the kitchen. *fears criticism, omg omg omg*)

On to the pics!

The can (Exhibit A) says WHOLE, and yet the contents were CHOPPED.
We should be suing Jolly Mushroom for this.

Exhibit B shows Naie grating cheese with a fork.
Notice in Exhibit C how well grated the cheese looks. My handiwork.
(Using the cheese grater automatically made me 1337, ROFL)

Anna the cook. We seriously thought of role playing Yakitate! Japan.

Exhibit D: Chopsticks in the sauce? Samin lang yan.
I used it to pick charred stuff out. XD
(It's actually more Cooking Master Boy-ish, ya?)

Feast for 4. No joke.
From top to upper left then clockwise: A Superman tumbler (kidding, this ain't included), 2 mugs and a pitcher of Tang Red Iced Tea, Dulce de Leche from Goldilocks, Primo Fully Loaded Pizza from Greenwich, Anna's Graham Ice Creams, Homemade Spaghetti Carbonara

Charlie's Angels in the kitchen armed with a spatula, tongs and chopsticks.
And yes, we loved this shot.

Kaninong buhok ito? We found Exhibit E in the bowl of Carbonara.

Exhibit F shows us in perfectly high spirits to eat what we worked so hard for (I exaggerate, of course.), despite wondering whose hair we found in the food.
Exhibit G shows the amount of pasta we plan to shove in; getting bigger from right to left.
(Wahahahaha!)

Exhibit H: Moving in for the kill... Nah, we saved it for the DVDs.
(Liu Mao Hsing's knives FTW~!)

DVD Raid este... Marathon

Being the otakus that we are plus the powers of Joey's cable TV and Anna the torrent hunter, D/Ler and burner, we first popped in the Die Hard 4 DVD and went straight on to watching anime. We caught Prince of Tennis on HeroTV, then watched a damn clear copy of Ouran High School Host Club. I love DVD technology! *wub wub wub*

Anyway here are a few pics I snatched from Lai's Multiply. I wonder when Naie can post hers? I want that nice shot of Dulce de Leche I took using her N73. lol

Packing Up
It was past 10 when my mom arrived and as promised, Tita Nora stayed up to keep her busy chatting while we went on with our Ouran marathon. At around 11:30PM, Anna's dad came and we just had to accept that it really is time for curtain call. We took a few last minute shots before setting off for home.

These are stuff I'm sure to miss... oh and yeah, I just had an effin' deja vu right after the last word of the previous paragraph. Stop doing that! *snaps at Mr. Time and Ms. Return* (I have their Clow cards and I'm snapping at them atm)

Yeah, I noticed I didn't blog for some time. I even missed thinking up an L2 guide update for this week. Silly me. I should've written about Castle Siege and related it to the Manila Peninsula Mutiny. You've got to read about it. It's worth a bunch of LOLs.

Just think about it: In normal wars it's the soldiers up front, and the media snatching shots of the goings-on some safe distance away. During the standoff last 29th, it's the media leading the crowd.

Pwn 'em!!!!1

RL Sieging 101

They called it the Manila Pen Siege. Funny how they'd use a damn tank and throw teargas in; considering the number of civilians left in that hotel, and the damage they caused to the building! I heard on the news last night that their losses for closing a number of days has already reached P25M (twenty five million Philippine Pesos!), and that does not include the cost of damage and repair to the building.

Oh yeah, press worldwide sure had a field day.

They're talking about filing cases for Trillanes and his gang for this; and to think it was THEIR FUCKIN' TANKS and guns that caused it all! (this line reminds me of The Cranberries, LOL)

If there's anything you can do to rouse the public's anger most, it's suppressing their freedom. Oh yeah, wise move PGMA administration. Current events in the Philippines makes me S-I-C-K.

A souvenir article: Clickie!

Party People!
Oh, going back to Lineage II, we had a clan party earlier at the Catacomb of the Heretic, for purposes of party leveling, teamwork practice, blah blah. It was FS' idea, and it was a good thing we did too: most of my clannies haven't experienced party leveling before today, and they got a glimpse of how it was to lure monsters and beat the shit outta them with splash-damaging pole arms.

As was done in the past, I piloted Umeko one 1 client while Amaryllis on another. We spent a good three hours there too. We also oriented them to the Seven Signs event. In the following days we'll try to express its importance in L2's Castle Siege system.

First time mo? Hehehe!

...And there were 7.
Senior/HOL members: Flyingsaucer, Coleslaw (Acme), Emanuderu
New members: Umeko (from Endless), Mekhet, elabella1 (Eman's brother)

Our L2 clan's level average right now is roughly around 40. So siege is a long way ahead. No worries though; we're in no rush at all. I value loyalty above anything else, before dedication to the game. Because I learned, over almost 5 years of online gaming, that it's not the level that matters: its experience. (thanks for this quote, Ate Ching ^^)

Speaking of parties, the first ever Christmas party/EB of Istar el' Adere™ a.k.a. Alpha Order of the Stars™ is set for the 15th of December. Hope I can make it. *crosses fingers*

Oh, and before I forget, you can click the link of the music above to see a description of it. Ai Enma FTW~!! I <3 Noto Mamiko's singing voice!

Taken straight from my Friendster XD

It's nice to reminisce on stuff seemingly forgotten. Meeting them somewhere else also gives some kind of jolt in me; a kind of hyping steroid injection that's hard to shrug off. Anyway I'm not here posting this just to dwell on what's passed. I'm glad I met them again and we'll be fighting alongside them a second time around.

HAHAHA! I know I once described Glad's rule as that of tyranny but past is past and I'd rather celebrate that I met old friends in-game again. Makes for a good reunion, a second chance.

(Plus: seeing them play using girl avatars is worth LOLing at. XD)

gheTTogurL, another guildmate from pRO Fenrir's Forbidden is also playing L2, as a Warsmith named shawty. (Her bf is playing as well ^^) I also happen to know where she works right now is a very convenient place to play L2 while working. No joke. XD

With that said, I shall move back to my supposed topic, the first Castle Siege in L2SEA.

Siege in Blackbird
It was the 17th of November, Saturday. Since I had a noobie character and a little Adena in BB, I went to watch via the Broadcasting Tower in the Elven Village 30 minutes before end of siege (I had to sneak out of my catacomb party XD). I caught a glimpse of Guardian Cathel buffing players outside the Castle gates, while GM Alessea commentated all throughout the event. I heard a clan got the Castle there, but was proven otherwise when I got back on Aria.

I'm still waiting for a full report on it, someone's bound to post about it somewhere. o.O

Siege in Aria
I lost internet connection right before the first half of the siege (just a few minutes after GM Gilrain started commentating =_=), so I was only able to get back with 1 hour left for Aria. I saw Kaliel (a former clannie), Gashapon (master Ace) and Ninja (a well-known SignumVires guy, lol) running about in front of the Castle gates (it's about the only thing I can see from the Broadcasting Tower, DUH), and I also found the Front Castle Gate with tottering HP. I wonder how much damage I'd deal if I were to hit it with the book... lol anyway Aria's siege looked by far faster paced and action packed compared to Blackbird. You'll see the difference in the pictures below. (click for larger image)

Blissful Blackbird vs. Anarchic Aria
[comment]iseedeadpeople[/comment] LOL!

I didn't dare try and get a closer look in BB, due to the fact that dragging my level 4 character to Gludio with no teleport money would be such a hassle. As for Aria, it was HELL. My poor 512MB RAM would've yelled at me in protest if I forced myself any closer to the Castle. I was in Gludio and I could barely take the lag, what more if I were INSIDE the Castle?

Note to self: Buy a 1GB RAM card ASAP. T^T

My pictures of the siege: Aria Blackbird

Discord among Aria's Clans
When I got back online, ultimately missing the exact moment when Aria's siege was concluded due to faulty connection, I found Sera pondering on clan chat about clans and alliances in chaos. It seems the Dynasty alliance (Inquisition-RedForest-Astronix) "back stabbed" the other clans. The only bits I understood are: 1) they threw the clans into confusion by starting(?) attacks against members of other clans, and 2) they are supported by the Covenant alliance (Upheaval-Void-XurDead). During CS Upheaval's clan crest bore the same look as Dynasty's, except the letter embossed is "U". Now Void's has a "V" and XurDead's has an "X". Now if that's not a declaration of a 6-clan alliance, then I'm a dead rat.

Click HERE for iD's forum thread about L2SEA CS bugs/glitches/complaints.. jk XD
NOTE: You may need to register to see the content.

I also remembered someone yelling that Inquisition had both of the Cursed Swords, Demonic Sword Zariche (2H sword) and the Blood Sword Akamanah (Dual swords). patriciojose mentioned in the Forums that they lost it a few days before the Siege, declaring fair play. I didn't see the swords myself, but the players supposedly holding these weapons still had red names, making me doubt nonetheless.

Cursed Sword Zariche

Blood Sword Akamanah

Just one thought lingers: They had the cursed swords and they still didn't get the castle? Gimme a break. ROFL~ XDDD

At the end of the day, the fact remains that no clan got a castle. We roll our eyes in a we-knew-it fashion and set off, back to leveling. Good luck next time, Aria. (buti pa Blackbird nakarating sa Throne room WAHAHAHA)

HOL-PW's Undeniable Success (and an elder's musings)

2007-11-17T02:17:00.000+08:00

Currently Listening to: The sound of a Fettered Soul's chains clanking

It's been a while since I updated, stuff happened and I didn't have much time for blogging. God knows I can't even start making an L2 Guide update. I'll have to triple the effort next week. T_T

Anyhoo this should be old news by now, but it's something hard to get over with. Since the founding of our guild, Holy Order of the Light, it was the first time we were recognized by the gaming community for winning a tournament, Perfect World's Jade Nightingale during the recently concluded Level Up! Live 2007 Event. I remember Sera saying he really cried. If I was there, I would've cried too. XD

Being a 2nd Generation member of the Order, I didn't know much about how the guild started, or who were the members standing as the guild's foundation. It took some time to read about (haha) and I still don't know everything. Not like I expect to, mind you. :P Setting this aside, I played my role as a member of the HOL-MU Chapter until it's very end, when our Realm was eventually dropped. Bitter a memory as it is, we all learned a lot from that experience.

Though I may not know the 3rd Generation members (too well), I know most of them are doing good, and are all for devoting themselves to the betterment of the guild. Their performance in the tourney made all of us HOL members proud. They made our dream a reality. Corny cliché, but true. :P

Sa excitement, di naayos ang banner XD

Ayun, ayos na rin!

Raise the guild crest, make us proud. :3

I loved this pic of the Ancients best (1st Gen members):

Pic includes: Zakuretsu, Rensaku, Lorne, Sera, Hoseah, Jabael'Sag and Yernerolf
I think it was Voxie who noted Lorne's smile. Priceless indeed. :D

It's this victory that inspires me to keep striving for my goals, both in-game and in real life. It's a kind of motivation I can't quite name; but I can assure you it's strong enough to keep me in one piece since the beginning of my recent challenges.

Gosh I sooo missed blogging. Lol.

Fidgeting Budget Moolah and Reflections on Life

2007-11-04T18:05:00.000+08:00

I just experienced what would probably be the most defined shopping trip; defined in a way that we knew where to go and what to get, or it took us little time to figure it out. We spent only 4 hours out to get things done, and in my family, that's a new record. XD

2PM - Departure
I kinda lazied over the couch, watching movies on cable channels so that delayed us. Wahaha. I never seem to tire of Shaggy Dog. I'd love to have a dog like that! x3 Betcha mom won't though, she hates all furry creatures — living or non-living. ¬ ¬;

20 minutes later, we arrived at the Town Cemetery, where we visited my grandmother's grave. I remember telling her in a prayer that someday, I'll have her marble tombstone fixed. I'm sure she understands the family's financial situation. In fact, I can feel her lurking around the house sometimes. Mom and I had connected dreams earlier today, which led her to believe our lola is calling for us. (Ack! That sounds weird ~ @_@)

2.45PM - Jam packed Mall
We decided to go on ahead and cool off in Santa Rosa's SM City Mall. Have to say I doubted any shopping today because I only brought a hundred bucks. Let me summarize what we did while we were there:

Saw Tito Sam with his wifey, bit of chit-chat
Checked the Surplus Shop, found tacky outfits for sale -.-
Went to Red Ribbon, bought this:

Triple Chocolate Roll! =p~

Trotted over to Herbench, found nothing I liked enough to buy
Fished and caught this tee from Dickies:

Same color scheme as my Multiply page xD

Strode over to an SM Super Market stall, where we bought Flavored Kernel cups (Japanese Sweet Corn w/ cheese powder and margarine! LOL)
Bought a loaf of bread and pantiliners (what an odd combo!) from the Super Market

Expenditures
All in all we spent:
Tricycle fare (to nat'l rd.) - 24 [special]
Jeepney fare (to cemetery) - 15 [7.50/person na pala! T_T]
Jeepney fare (to SM) - 15
Red Ribbon Cake - 180
Dickies Tee - 300 (it's sale! mwahahaha)
Flavored Kernel cups - 38 [19ea]
Super Market purchase - 99.25
Jeepney fare (from SM) - 15
Tricycle fare (home) - 24 [special]
GRAND TOTAL - P710.25

Akalain mo yun, less than 1,000 ang ginastos namin ngayon? And we didn't visit just one establishment ha. It's another record! XD

Reflection
I remember telling Miko (~EXO~Mikolit) this: "kung alam mo kung anong pahirap sa utak imanage natitirang resources namin ngayon, magugulat kang masaya pa ko ngayon :))" And it holds true. I am (still) happy. Cherish the past, live for the present, look forward to the future.

I remembered that statement I gave above when I saw this pack of brown stuff in a transparent plastic bag (which I realized to be dog food, roasted beef flavor) near the Express Lane Cashier, and remembered my beloved pet Colyn, a Shih Tzu/Maltese crossbreed. Her death almost 2 years ago (Feb. 15, 2006) made me succumb to regret and grief that I almost cut off contact with the outside world for the first half of the year. My grandma dying 2 months after Colyn didn't exactly help, you know.

2 weeks ago when we attended Lola Emang's interment, I cried, remembering my Lola Nene (not even close to Carmelita, ya?). I didn't think I would, really. It's just seeing her spot buried in about 20 feet of soil and about 10 wreath stuff (flowers you send to dead people's funerals, err) made me remember the funeral. It saddens me to think back and realize how poor a service we gave her. Dying isn't exactly budget-friendly, no. Paying for a coffin you'll just let rot underground isn't my idea of wise spending. But still... haaay! It makes my head loll just thinking how much everything cost! We had to ask Capt. Camalit for assistance (funeral discounts and everything) and despite that, we're still in debt of the funeral parlor by about 10 gran. This, and the credit card debts... I mean, really. You think I'd have a happy adulthood? But I don't have too many choices left.

I'm not exactly looking forward to that future, I'm still hoping it would change. If there's one valuable lesson I learned from all this, it's OPTIMISM. And more than anything else, I recognize the value of tight family bonds. You'd know what I really mean if you know me well.

To my closest (not necessarily best) friends and to my family, I give my love. Thank you for having me. :3

BANZAI!!!!11

Did you see my nails!?! XDDDD

A SweetS Distraction

2007-10-27T12:35:00.000+08:00

Currently Playing: SweetS - LolitA ☆ Strawberry in summer

Every night since my mother let slip of a big event in the family coming up in a few months, I decided to start tidying up my room. So far I've cleaned 2 trash bins worth of old paper, hand outs and useless test papers. Whenever I saw something I deemed sentimental (which was the reason I kept it), I threw it out, saying "This is no time for sentimentalities!". I still have 4 drawers worth of trash to sort out. ~_~

It's the 27th of October today, and guess what: It's my dad's birthday! I'm taking a break off leveling in Lineage II to spend some quality time with the family. LOOOOOL. What am I doing in front of the PC then?! Nothing really. x_x I was organizing my mp3s for burning. I did finish organizing Ayumi Hamasaki, YUI, DEPAPEPE and Origa. While looking for my RYTHEM mp3s though, I stumbled on this Multiply music playlist with only 1 song from SweetS. I decided to download it just to listen, because I had this funny feeling that I heard (or read) the title from somewhere before.

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, click the link on the music playing above.)

After the song intro, I kept stuttering, struggling to remember where the hell I heard this song. "I remember this! I know it! I could even sing to the effin' lyrics! What, was that the monkey? Oh shit I don't remember which anime this came from!" @_@ You could imagine me going gaga in front of the monitor, trying to remember Monkey T---, whatever the title was.

Thank you Wikipedia, for telling me it was Typhoon, and not Trouble. Pffft. — —;;

So here I am, typing down this post while the song plays over and over on my Winamp. I even bothered to find 2 videos of the group on YouTube! Check my Multiply videos for the PV by clicking here.

This here is a live performance on 15-O. Think Music Station.

What a talented bunch of kids. This is how they look now that they're grown up. :3

Weee Ueki~!! <3

~EXPRESS BULLETIN~

To my dear SOS Bulletin readers:
I regret to inform you that we don't have a Lineage II Guide Update for this week. I went to my university to get my grades (and hopefully, for enrollment) thus I lacked the time to prepare for one. Watch out next week for an extra packed update that I know you've been waiting weeks for.

Thank you for your continued patronage! *bow*

Dear Diary...

2007-10-24T13:34:00.000+08:00

I passed my subjects! Yay! And I haven't updated for ages! Not so yay! -_-

Oh oh oh, I think my grades give me bragging rights.

Phil. Gov't. & New Constitution (SOCSCI2 aka PolSci) - 1.25
Values Education (VALUES, GOD we have VALUES @_@) - 1.75
Sining ng Komunikasyon (FIL1, my dreaded subject) - 1.75
Nat'l. Service Training Prog.2 (NSTP2, kasi bagsak sa UP, amp!) - 1.75
Trigonometry (MATH2, my most enjoyable class, weird!) - 1.5

PROOF:

Malabo ba? Palapitin natin...

Yun yun oh! >:)

I got 6 subjects last sem... Only got 5 grades. I need that grade for Professional Ethics! @_@ Anyway I'm hoping it's at least 1.75, it will prove to be my best sem in College yet. xD

Oh, and I need to start acting more seriously... I've just been given a Council seat for IA-L2SEA. (Istar el' Adere - Lineage 2 SEA Realm)

The reason I haven't got time to update much is because I got my hands full with L2SEA and clan matters. We're about to have a transfer of leadership, from Sera (JC Cuneta) to a new leader voted by the members. I don't know how it will turn out, but I hope everything goes well.

That's it. I gotta go back in-game. I need 7 something something % to reach level 39! Elven Elder here I come! >:) (finally!)

Desktop. Muahaha~

2007-10-13T20:07:00.000+08:00

Oi! I've been tagged! xD

My desktop's new look. :P

Biruin mo 'yun, I just changed my wallpaper a few hours before I decided to check my blog. LOL.

Anyway, this is a wallpaper of... jaaaaang~ Deathnote! But take note (omg redundancy?), these aren't the Japanese actors. They're cosplayers, and yes, they are Pinoys. Okay so maybe some of them are half-half but that doesn't change the fact that they live in the Phils. :P

Observant chaps would notice that Alodia's there. It's easy to tell by her eyes. ^^ I became a fan ever since I saw her in a D.O.D outfit (specifically, the Princess outfit, months ago lor), and avid viewers of the 24-hour animé channel in the country, Animax would definitely know this. xD

Oh and did I mention that this was shot in San Agustin Church? Well duh I didn't. x_x Even before I read the pic description @ Alodia's DA, I knew right away because I've been there, and I'd have to be one big stud not to remember a church bearing the same name as my freakin' SURNAME! I miss that place. *daydreams* I suddenly remembered when I asked Jap to hold my lower torso for me as I bent over a small porch to take a picture of the garden (it's sooo beautiful! :3) Ah, the days when I cheated death~

... rofl

Enough about the wallpaper, now on to the icons. 'Di rin naman halatang gamer ako. ROFL~ Most of these are icons of games I usually play (or used to play), or are played by the gamers coming to my place for a few games. Most of the picture files were from Evespring and I never found the time (rather, I forgot) to dump them in a folder somewhere...

Oh, and there's my e-Book copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows! I haven't got past Chapter 1 ever since I got it months ago @_@ I'll work on that over the sembreak. >:)

Now, Im'ma tag these people! xD

Jesse, Miko, Bryan, Arlie, Croze

Understating Bad Mood & Bad Weather

2007-10-02T16:44:00.000+08:00

Finals next week. And before I study for my Ethics Finals scheduled tomorrow (as if I have the concentration for it), let me just rant this out.

Putang inang dula yan bakit ba nauso pa? They gave me the role for mother in my group play for FIL1! Group mates are crap and the script's even worse! The presentation's on Saturday (October 6) and we haven't practiced, not even once! Kanya kanyang dala pa ng props. Fucking hell!

So where was the fucking leader? He was fucking absent, and as Assistant group leader I voiced my rants disguised as an eloquently delivered, commanding speech (with matching aggravated face). Just thinking about all this fucking trouble made my fucking head ache like hell. -_-

Last week I fell ill and succumbed to flu, which I had to live through for a whole week, speaking inaudibly in class. My Filipino professor talked to me and my delinquent group leader (Zoren), and I begged them to reconsider so I could change roles with someone else. The deal was, if I could recover before the play date, the show goes on; if not, we'll have to fix the roles. A week later (today) I haven't completely recovered yet, and my teacher told me "Kayanin mo na lang." WTF!? That wasn't the deal! And he's a teacher for crying out loud! -_-

And I had to go out into the rain with my broken umbrella to have the script photocopied myself (the male group mate said "Bahala na kayo pa-xerox yan, meron na kami" and I looked at him incredulously and said, "Bakit ako!?", thinking, hasn't this guy noticed that I WAS FUCKING SICK!?), and gave 1 of the 2 copies to my emo girl group mate, Dianne. (At least she looks more my group, fuck the rest)

~*~*~

Remembering my first day in UPLB as a bona fide student, it was June 2003... Orientation Day. And we were staying in the S.U. Building... As practiced, we freshmen were grouped and we all had to present a skit, just to show everyone in the room what we've got.

I got the role of the mother, and our group presented our own rendition of the Selecta commercial. It was a coincidence too, since I was wearing a pink shirt, and the mother's shirt in the commercial was also pink. -.-

That role landed me the "Face of the Day" award, and we were offered a chance to become DJs for UPLB's local radio station.

It was a tempting offer. I humbly declined, but promised to assist if ever my skills were required.

~*~*~

What's the difference between me as the Iska and me as the ordinary girl in PnC?

In LB:
I was a freshman, full of vigor.
As a neophyte, I had a hunger to be known.
I looked forward to knowing new people.
I was in top form.

In PnC:
I am a student back from a 2-year hiatus.
I am a transferee, and I don't care about anything other than my grades and myself.
I am used to being alone.
I am sick and I barely have my voice back.

Back to my rant...

Stupid people get stupid remarks. So before I set to leave the classroom and head back home, I came over to talk to Jean on the other side of the room. I asked her to deliver a message from me to Zoren, in the most behaved manner I could manage, to demand a practice day before Saturday because I won't let this pass if he doesn't. I think she got my point, just by looking at my gestures.

I looked back and called her again, and said this, "Sa susunod, tanungin mo muna yung taong pinili mo kung tatanggapin nya yung role, ok?"

She curtly nodded.

Then I walked... stone-faced and murderous.

I swear if one person tried to joke with me, I wouldn't hesitate to pole-attack him with my umbrella.

- END -

"Busyness is next to Godliness."

2007-09-29T18:20:00.000+08:00

Working even when you're sick is a sign that you're workaholic, but playing your favorite MMORPG despite all the snot that's about to gush out through your nostrils is a sign of severe addiction. Yeah that's my real illness huh? LOL.

Acads are going great so far... Well except for Values. I just got a zero score on the surprise quiz (blame the reporters, their voices lulled me to sleep =.=) but I plan to make up for that on Monday's quiz. =P

I watched the OctoberFest update last night, thinking of what Flyingsaucer (a clanmate) said on Clan chat, about the guys not being present on clan hunt day.

Me: glorium~ :3
FS: Glorium!
Me: parang walang usapan ah.. sabi 7 tapos ako lang OL ;__;
FS: hmmm..
FS: diba OctoberFest ngayon?
Me: it is? pero diba october pa yun? [*thinks* oh, it will be next week]
FS: and its the weekend
FS: plus its pay day!
Me: oh. *with obvious chagrin*

If his theory is correct, then I guess our mates still are victims to the euphoria of booze. *roll eyes*

So our Final exams are scheduled for the 2nd week of October, and we have our class play on the 1st week. I begged my groupmates to change my role (due to the fact that I suck at acting, plus I lost my voice because of this darn flu) so we'll see if they granted my request on our practice this Sunday.

Anyway to finish this short, lame excuse of an update, I'll be posting direct links to all the previous L2 guides I posted on the SOS Bulletin. Be sure to check them soon. Please and thank you~ :3

RAN Online: UP Gang Alab celebrates 1st year Anniversary!

2007-09-21T16:08:00.000+08:00

First off, CONGRATULATIONS UP GANG! We made it! (haha na-late ako XD) After a 7-month delay our Oblation Run finally pushed through. But how come us girls ran naked as well? x_x

See the pics of the madness we stirred up in Alab Channel 1 last night by clicking HERE. I uploaded them on my Multiply page, there's a whole album dedicated for it. Cheers to us gangmates! o^_^o

There's me and Roj (Sir_Mayhem), and Tep (Prince_Stephen) holding an invisible cellphone. Hahaha!

In other news, L2-SEA has a new slew of events in store for us players this October. (Click the images to read more)

Our Golden Apiga will not be left ignored! T-shirts, bags and pig stuffed toys are in store for those who have Golden Apiga(s) in their inventories!

* Keep your golden apigas in your inventory up to Sept 27, for a chance to win in the raffle
*Use your Pirate Booties now (just right click it in your inventory for a chance to get a Golden Apiga)

In every town there is a special Event Gatekeeper who will grant you teleport at nearby hunting grounds at a discounted price. This event runs from September 21 to October 5.

Hunt monsters around the world to retrieve medals. There are two types: Medals and Glittering Medals.

Exchange these medals to the following assistants:
~ Roy the Cat
~ Winnie the Cat
~ Louie the Cat

Who's your favorite? Who's the funniest? Who's the most notorious? You decide! We are now opening the nominations of the Lineage II - South-East Asia Open Beta Awards!

Deadline for submission of entries is on October 8, 2007
Nominations will be compiled and be posted at the Lineage II South-East Asia Forums and on iPlayAsia.Community on October 10, 2007

My take on the events:

Finally, the pig event comes to a close. No more bots? Naaah. They're back to our usual leveling spots, and a select few stray away to our unusual quest spots. They just keep increasing in number don't they? -_-

As if we haven't been hurt enough yet, here comes the Heavy Medal Event. These people really never learn. Come October we'll see the destruction of the L2-SEA economy. I won't be surprised to see some real hardcore gamers quit at this point in time. AMDG top brass are asking for it.

Business huh? If that's how you run it, I'll just keep my talents to myself and use them abroad. Or establish my own effin' business. Whichever comes first.

As a last treat to lighten my mood, I present you: teh acrobatic dog~! (from heldige-asen.blogspot.com)

I wonder what he wants to do here. O.o

Whatever it is he sure did a funky pose. (parang kakagatin yung... HAHA xD) I found this pic through Blogger Play and even though I didn't understand a word on that blog, this picture spoke all the words I needed. xP

You made my day, doggy. :3

Living like Cockroaches

2007-09-20T18:53:00.000+08:00

[Not playing anything due to severe headache]

Quoted from Clyde:

When I arrived at Manila four years ago, I was surprised to see that people there live like insects, cockroaches. From the airplane window, looking at the city below makes you think that your existence is irrelevant and unwanted. People there are massive in number, restless, and always competing with each other for the sole reason of living. You cannot distinguish one stranger from another. Those who lose in the competition of survival always result to crime or poverty. People in a big city look alike, think alike and smell alike. They live a life full of malice and do not trust anybody other than their friends and family. They only have one thing in their mind: To survive, to live in prosperity and serve their so-called purpose in living.

I got one thing to say to you Clyde: You've become one hell of a writer! xD It's amazing what a broken heart can do to a person. Not meant to imply anything dude, but in all the years I've known you from UPLB, this is the first time I saw you express this much emotion.

We must search for our own purpose of living. Although insignificant, we can’t deny the fact that humans need something to cling on in order to live. We do not wish to be alone. We want to be important. We want to feel needed. We want to be loved.

We must find a purpose to live, for those who live without purpose die like cockroaches.

I hope you find solace in the thought that we, your friends, are here for you; no matter how far apart we now are. =)

On the other hand, I prompted to do a write-up of my own thoughts on everything I've watched, heard and talked about on the Cris Mendez Case. But it seems the Blogger Community has indeed expressed everything there is to be said; I just have this much left to say:

Cris is such a loss to the community... He couldv'e been one of those people who made a difference. I hope you Sigma Rho fratmen learn when to keep mum or speak up, because NOW is the right time to SPEAK UP.

Currently Playing: Restless Heart - When She Cries

This "update" should have been posted last 9/9, but I found myself too busy for such a trivial task. This is what I came up with in the middle of studying for my Trigonometry and Ethics exams (which were, by the way, not worth studying for; I finished both exams within 30 minutes, and I was even late for class).

~ a moment of silence for me.

Sentimentality
- was when I cut my hair. [August 27]

Indecisiveness
- was when I said... [August 30]

Nostalgia
- was when I reminisced my first four (4) months in the Pussyfierz Club... It was then..? [September 8]

Perplexity
- was when he said, "Scared?". Our topic? Marriage. [September 8]

Animosity
- renewed feelings for pfXYN [September 8]

Temperance
- towards the person who revived pfXYN in my mind, pfKIX [September 8]

Solace
- sitting on an ordinary monobloc chair, listening to the Communion song being sung by the Church Choir [September 9]

Solitude
- finding tears in my eyes... over chances I let myself pass [September 9]

Emptiness
- now, while I write these down.

Uncertainty
- I doubt... [always]

Did I do the right thing?

Regardless of answering Yes or No, there's no turning back now.
~ que sera sera ~

"Good luck na lang sa love life natin =)"

Did you mean it?

Three times. I cried three times. =)

Last Note: It's 9/11 today. May the souls of the innocent who died today 6 years ago rest in peace.

Midterm Madness

2007-09-05T18:57:00.000+08:00

Ohh been super busy these past 2 weeks. I haven't checked my Friendster, my Imeem, my blogs... And I wasn't able to post an L2 guide last week. Now I have to compensate. Huuuu. T.T

Thanks to my consistent blog visitors and their positive comments (via YM), I finally got around to putting those Google AdSense widgets after getting my application approved 3 weeks ago. I was just busy! @_@ I don't know what will happen but it's still worth a try, ya? xD

Anyway, this week's L2 Guide concerns earning Adena. And before anything else, please keep in mind that L2-SEA is still fairly young; it's been only 1 month since Open Beta started, so I understand that majority of the players are still newbies to the game.

The guides I compile, revise and/or make are designed to be newbie-friendly. :3

Anyway, please do give the guide a peek. It's the first I made purely out of research and my own experience (there's no Adena earning guide anywhere else!), and I would appreciate any feedback. For negatives, constructive criticism only, okay? Please and thank you! ^_^
