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 Ad

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

: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

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

...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.

Тихо плыли звёздной пыли

Стальное лезвие ножа
Сколько раз в атаке умирала и вновь воскресела
Моя нетленная душа

Сегодня я просто player
Я ни о чём не жaлею
Мечту свою
И всё что есть за нею
На карту мира смело отдаю Сегодня я просто player
Я ни о чём не жалею

Тиxо плыли звёздной пыли

Сколько раз в атаке умирала и вновь воскресела
Моя нетленная душа

Опять без правил играю

И это всё,что я знаю
Я не ищу себе иную роль Cегодня я просто player
Я ни о чём не жалею

Player… player… player…

Толко тёмной мантии скольжение
Беды отражение

Я не ищу себе иную роль
Cегодня я просто player
Я ни о чём не жал ею
Мечту свою
И всё что есть за нею
На карту мира смело отдаю

Тиxо плыли звёздной пыли
Небесные прожектора…

Special thanks to my Russian friend Konstantin (murasov@freenet.de), [*clap* *clap*] who when I checked with last time, was residing in Germany. lol. I wonder how he's doing now... Many thanks my friend. :)

I'll post the English lyrics to this on a later date, hopefully when I get my English down pat. You won't believe how hard it gets when you're struggling to compare it with a language you barely know. XD
