Work, work...
Semester's though as always. But now being a student assistant at the same time is a lot tougher. Although I've been an SA for several sems before, I found it thougher this time. Because this semester, at the UPLB Main Library where I work, there is only a few SA's on our specific line of duty so we had more load of work.

On the brighter side of things, I've got to see some new library crushes, haha! I always find the library an amusing place. :D There's this one uber cute geek type girl, complete with thick glasses and carrying huge backpack. (I think she's a freshie.) The other one, I dunno if a full-blood Japanese or a half-breed, since she speaks Tagalog fluently. She slightly resembles Kuriyama Chiaki-san. Haha! But Kej is a wimp so he only stalks those girls, pretending to be a hard-working SA at the library.
For some reason, I've been late on my 8:30 morning classes for 8 consecutive times. I woke up early and goes to school on time. Traffic isn't the issue either. Weird.


RAVE! No, I mean ONE PIECE!
Yeah!! Only 50 chapters to go before I get to One Piece manga's latest scanlation release! Yay! I've been marathoning the manga for almost every night this past week, and I'd say I did a good job on reading a lot of chapters in a night. About a 50-80 chapters a day! Woo! Even better than when I tried to catch up to Hajime no Ippo. Awesome. And here's something for Sogeking's apprentices. :D

Onaga Maki is leaving HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR!?
It was days ago when I've heard (read) about this news but I only got time to blog about this today. Thanks to anemone-san, who gave the news and translation. According to Maki's blog, she will leave the band about a year from now because of she's planning to marry and have a family. And she's now married to Nakamura Masato of Dreams Come True. (Note: He is 50 years of age.) Maki will be with HaMC for about a year and will leave by the end of 2008, after completion of HaMC's fifth album; hopefully an album.
Okay. Of course, I was disheartened. I've been a HaMC fan for about three years, since the Gou On Progressive (STYLE, Ichirin no Hana) days. Moreover, I'm a such huge Maki-fanboy. I know it can't be helped that sooner or later, Maki will get married. But the timing is pretty bad. (at least for me.) I mean, they just recently released a superb single and then boom! I even created recently a DA club for Haikara fans. T_T Come on! Maki-chama, is it really your honest decision to marry the old dude? I'm not being rude to the guy, but oh.. X_X I hope Maki-chama's really happy now. =D
To be honest, I'm feeling that HaMC is about to get disbanded soon. Despite they're good debut and insane sophomore album, HaMC didn't quite receive a good mainstream treatment on the third and fourth album. (Although fans still love their work up until now.) So after a year, will HaMC still live without it's (seriously) light? The rest of the band said that they will not disband though. And they won't add a new member yet. So yeah, it's Anti-Nobunaga time again! Yusuke, Mackaz, MEG, Kazuto, SASSY, do your best!
I remember the last time I got sad about a band breakup, it was Do As Infinity's. They disbanded the time when I was starting to like them more. (But Van Tomiko's still around though.) And now for Haikara.. This is too much... T_T I'll still give my sincerest support for HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR in the future!

While waiting for my damn download to finish, I did this. I'm obviously bored...

You share 8 things that your readers don't know about you. Then at the end, you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

* Each blogger must post these rules first.
* Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they're tagged, and to read your blog.

1.  I am a kid at heart. (And will always be.)
2. I love Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton. (any flavor) When I still live in a dorm, I eat only pancit canton on Fridays. (Means I have no money left.)
3. I can do different sleeping positions while riding public jeepneys. (Of course I don't lie down. xP)
4. I name my favorite/needed belongings. And I use names of anime girls. (ex. Yuki = laptop; Rei = scientific calcu xD; Aoi = old celphone; Chi = fav mechanical pencil)
5. I played a lot of RPG's on PS1 but the only title that I finished was Final Fantasy Tactics (4 times.)
6. I truly hate seeing wet cigarette butts and chewed bubble gum. (*Hatred eye activate*)
7. Most of the time, when I clean my ears using cotton buds, I fall to sleep unknowingly. (Luckily, the cotton buds don't get inside my ears.)
8. I never had a girlfriend once. I'm a bit frustrated for not having one 'til now, but I'm kinda convinced that being single has advantages too. *grins*

I'll tag, hmm..
1. Hani (Mami, pengeng baon..)
2. Yuki (Iwanan ang lecheng life.)
3. Ate Aya (Asan ka na?)
4. Melissa (Commish for our cos? =P)
5. Maki (Kahit ayaw mo)
6. Han (Kahit BUSY ang stat mo sa YM)
7. Malx (Mababasa mo ba 'to?!)
8. ____ (Ikaw na bumabasa, lagay mo name mo!!!)

Ahh, I don't want to remind you guys by leaving a comment on yer guestbooks. I'm lazy. Re-post this or don't. Bahala na kayo.

EDIT: Well, I did wrote on your guestbooks too. Guess I'm really bored.. >.>

Back to work. And oh..

1. UP Los Banos is being swarmed by a new batch of filthy rich-looking kids. (Peace out, freshies!) Looks like the effect of the increase in tuition fee is starting to show. A real climatic change for the campus. Nice job old farts! (And no freshmen, I don't have a grudge on you. I just hate the increase, that's all.)



2. On the brighter side of things, Jjampongs (Korean students) are multiplying like flies in the campus. And every season in the Philippines is summer for them, so they wear relatively refreshing outfits. Hmm, now that's a good news for perverted male seniors who have acute fetishes on Korean girls. *looks the other way*



3. I did something unintelligent this morning regarding my loan. If I only used my brain a little more, I could have finished the processing of papers for half a day instead of two consecutive days. I won't delve into details because it's just .. stupid.




4. I have a neat haiku. I have thought of it this morning.

(last line reads as "dobolyu-ti-ef")


5. I don't know if I could attend Toycon. Decisions will all be tomorrow, depending on me and my friends' mood. *sigh*






6. I wonder if Madam President can turn each Friday the 13th to a regular non-working holiday, so that people won't hate these days.






7. I went to a nearby SM this afternoon to buy a new USB mouse, then guess what. I've seen two kinds of people that I don't normally see: (1) a Chinita-triplet, complete with uniform outfits and hairstyle, all in mini-skirts - I almost die in delight; and (2) an emo guy with a Sasuke T-shirt - the legacy of the Uchiha has been passed...

{WARNING: A bit long of a blog entry}

I always strive to make my summer vacation fulfilling. And this year's summer vacation? It's full of obvious contradictions. Meaningful and pointless. Profound and shallow. Pleasing and disappointing. Exciting and boring. Happy and sad. Dead and alive. Day and night. Okay, whatever that means. But seriously, I used to take summer classes and made my vacations useful. And because of my utter naivety, I decided not to take my practicum this summer and to focus on other non-academical things, that I thought would make me a better human being. Yeah, I'm always a boring person, so I spend my life at home, on computer shops to play LAN games, and sometimes at friends' houses. And this summer's pretty much the same, but a slight variation. What variation? Here's my attempt to summarize my summer vacation. My stupid self, here's the rundown...


The Artist in the Making?!
Not a film actor. An artist, traditional or digital artist. Someone who draws something using some medium and a good volume of imagination. I told myself that I would try to improve skills in drawing, coloring and stuff. I don't want to be "professional-good", but quite good would be enough. But then, enemy arrives...again. The name is LAZINESS. But then I tried to conquer it. I ended up doing some fanarts, and studying some art style and technical skill. I didn't put what I've learned in my efforts though. Everything's always half-assed, always, always half-assed, just like these ones:Especially the last one, which due last June 7, I didn't finished it (the rendering is incomplete) because of indefinite hiatuses, and the abrupt change of mood each time I continue my work. So, the art didn't make it to the contest. I'll still finish it though, for the sake of wasted time and effort.

I remember my sempai's advice, that in the professional art world, there is no such thing as "I'll draw when I feel like drawing. Circumstances won't permit you to rest. So draw, and draw." But I don't strive to be a professional artist, but only to inherit professional artists' traits in work. I think it has something to do with motivation, or the lack thereof. Motivation? What/who could motivate Kej? Who knows?


The Coach Potato Evolved into a PC Bum
I lost interest on watching TV. I only watch very few shows nowadays. I even reduced my daily anime intake. But then, I became too sticked on the PC instead. Reading manga like there's no tomorrow, browsing weird to nonsense websites, invading forums, playing online and emulation games, etc. Yeah, I do this before, but this vacation, I spent roughly 85% of my time on front of the PC. Eye cramps? Butt osteoporosis? Yes, I have those!
Besides Superkids and WCG /WEG on Arirang, Noctural Emissions on MAXXX, random shows on NHK and Nat Geo, I watch Witch Yoo Hee on TV. So don't worry! I'm still on the borderline of abnormal(geek) and extremely abnormal(geek).


Moar Manga
Though not as much as Shalnark-sama, I manage to read more manga titles this vacation. Oh, is it any good? Somehow. My otaku-ish Spidey sense tells me it's alright to read lots of manga on vacation, so I can catch up with the latest and match up with those know-it-all suckers! Ah...

...besides the ongoing titles that I already caught up with the latest scanlations...

(Naruto, Bleach, D.Gray-man,.. blah blah blah);

...I read some completed works...

(BLAME!,  Battle Royale, Chobits, some one-shots and doujins);

...caught up with the latest scanlations of other titles

(Soul Eater, Hunter x Hunter, Hajime no Ippo, Nabari no Ou, Deadman Wonderland, Xblade, Nodame Cantabile, Liar Game, Doubt);

...and started reading some others.

(Air Gear, Angel Densetsu, Gintama, Kekkaishi, Mysterious Girlfriend X.)

Reading these titles implies, eye cramps. I almost died.Everyone can learn something by reading these. Me? I've learned a lot: that a messy room doesn't mean you're useless, but maybe eccentric (Nodame); lying can save your life (Liar Game, Doubt); and the only way to get to the Netsphere without breaching the seemingly impossible program of the Safeguards is to find a human with the Net Terminal genes and use him/her to access the Netsphere (BLAME!). See, I've learned a lot. And that's the good point. And another, because I read too much, I wouldn't be reading much when classes start. Just like the wise ant or a good congressman.


The Magnificent World of Cosplay!
I've already talked much about this. Ozine Fest 08 and Mangaholix 08 are such a blast! It's quite fulfilling. Cosplay. Not a cheap and easy hobby. But real fun. You can even get to meet friends. Some can be as weird as you. Some can be as evil as you. And some can be so damn cute that you can't resist temptation and you'll eventually lost to oblivion. (And no, I don't think like this.)


Body, Mind, Heart and Soul
One of my goals this vacation is to gain weight. But damn, it's quite hard to when you always lack sleep and the summer sun's heat drains your energy. No exercise too. My mindset was okay, though it seems I sometimes space out or seem to hallucinate. Kinda freaky, but it's true. Hope my concentration gets back when classes start. Need a healthy body and mind to beat the semester stress. And I'm even planning to be a student assistant again, so more load! Haha, I'll go kill my self real slow.
*wrist-cutting EMO mode ON*
The heart. Kinda sensitive. I never felt really confused about my feelings before. It seems that the fortified lock that I use to keep these uncontrollable feelings is not enough to stop this impending burst of emotions. I dunno. I never experienced what people call 'love', but somehow, irrational thoughts flood my submissive self. You. When time comes that the lock can no longer withstand this chaos, I will pave way and do my best so that each fragments of this feeling will reach your heart.
*wrist-cutting EMO mode OFF*

I didn't get to any beaches (that sounds dirty) this vacation. I was invited by some relative once, but I refused, because I found those kind of outings, boring. Glad I attended two  (probably will be three) conventions this vacation. The smell of sweat, foam rubber, and spray paint is so much better for feeding my soul than fresh breeze from the mountains or lively gust from the beach.


Human Relations Department
Status quo. On family. Nothing's really changed. Indifference remains. Though we're still one big happy family. Most especially when Baby Rianne was born! New life means new hope to me. She brought vitality to us.
Dynamic. On friends. Met new friends. Talk to them mostly online though. (And some of them who calls me UKE, stop it for God's sake!) But em losing contacts to old ones. Some are really mad at me. (I met one personally, and she almost punched me for not having a cellphone.) Now come to think of it, I think I'm going to break my "No Cellphone Legacy" already. It's been almost a year since the lost of my cellphone, and now I'm deciding to have a new one. And Kej is no picky on cellphones. I can even have a 3310 for a reasonable price. (P200 lol)

Lost. On special persons. Refer to wrist cutting EMO mode above.


Money Matters and Miscellaneous and my Messed-Up Mind are Random

Yeah, no money sucks. No summer job sucks. Being rejected for three times for summer job sucks. People responsible for Kej being rejected on the applications for three times sucks. No money sucks!!!!

I lost some of my favorite t-shirts. I can't find them. Now I will be doomed when classes starts! Why? HINT: UP Los Banos doesn't require uniform.

J-music floods my vacation soul trip. Em introduced to more bands. (e.g. Onmyouza, Aqua Timez, Chatmonchy) See, I also planned to learn to play any instruments during summer, but seriously, I don't have the patience and the talent maybe. So I just stick to my passion: listening and appreciating music. That's why I tried to expand my love for modern music. More J-music and OPM. It seems like the OPM scene is not doing well these days though. (Urbandub is the only strong remaining force in the mainstream.)

Though I'd love to make this my diary, this blog's getting really long and incoherent, so I'd cut it here. No one would even want to read this. So there. Kej's waiting for a better tomorrow...

Very. Tiring. Probably the most tiring convention that I've ever attended. But still so much fun. I costripped on that day, together with some very cool friends. Our costrip group were intriguing. Akatsuki. White cloak. Black clouds. I didn't expect such a very good reception on our group costrip. Thanks to those who appreciated our "trip!" (Though some had doubts on our idea, and a few didn't quite like it... but who cares?! Read between the lines, pal!)

Magic Five!

Shalnark-sama the "Manipulator" as KakuzuRumel the "Malaking bagay" as Zetsu

"Likod ni Alex" as Hidan

"Hands down" Bell as Konan

"WTH?!" Kej a.k.a. Myself as Sasori

Further elaboration:
I call my character Kurosuna no Sasori (Sasori of the Black Sand). Well, because I retain my black hair instead of changing it to red. Oh, and I don't care if you won't care!!

(More M3 con pics uploaded by Shalnark http://gravitybind.multiply.com/photos/album/65/Mangaholix_2k8)

Lots of people took pictures of the group, so we can barely move on the convention premises. Really cool! But despite the 15-minute fame, the rest were really hard. Posing - "nakakangalay".  I had a hard time dealing with my inner costume: the "Sasori body" It's really hard to move around with the whole thing. Also, after a long time wearing the suit, I had these blisters on my skin on my forearms because of the foam rubber sheets that were stuck on my arms. (Don't ask me how the heck I got those blisters from the rubber sheets.) I know my groupmates experienced difficulty, too, especially Zetsu. Even though he had a lot of fan girls in his arsenal, Zetsu couldn't be so happy because it's hard to maintain that huge black rubber thingy in place and someone made fun of his face by painting it black and white. *evil laugh* Some girl in the convention even called him "malaking bagay." Specifically, I heard her say "Uy, gusto kong magpakuha ng pic dun sa malaking bagay." Poor thing. Because almost the entire time we had in the convention were spent on picture taking, we hadn't catch a glimpse at the catwalk at all. Though I still found some impressive cosplayers loitering around. My favorite cosplay would be that girl with some kinda white suit with leopard design on the sides; the one with a half face plate. Don't know what she is cosplaying, but that was really cool. Plus, we have a picture with Tricia-san! (slumberdoll of DA.. I'm her fan. =P) But man, luck wasn't always in our sides. I didn't have the time to look on the amazing artworks there. Napagalitan pa kami sa MoA ni Manong Guard, agaw atensyon daw, at walang permit. Nyaha~ Worse, I didn't see Urbandub perform, the one thing I truly anticipate in the event. T_T

Hmm, I met some people whom I now only know online before. Yuki, Llyngee and Hani! (Meron pa ba?) Nice meeting you! Also met some old friends. (And the elbi guys, idol nyo pa rin ako?! Salamat! Bat wala kayong Multips?! xDDD) Didn't see some people I'm expecting to see though.

Special thanks to Maki (supposedly our Itachi), Donna (sunod ka lang lagi kay Kuya Mak ha?) at kay bf ni Bell (forgot your name yet again, pero galing mong photographer, pinagod mo kame LOL) Thanks na rin kay Kuya Alex ng van haha! At kay Ate Mananahi for our cloak.

So that's it. Very wonderful event. After this convention, I'm probably back to my normal life again. (Un)finishing artworks, reading manga, and some other boring stuff. Well, two weeks from now is Toycon '08. Hmm...

Sucks. Never been sick for a long time. I was bedridden for almost a whole day. Now because of this, I've become monstrously thin again. Anorexic shinobi, that's how I look now. XD I hate getting sick. (Who wants to be sick anyway?) The start of the new semester is coming!!!
Is it good news? Of course! I really missed school. And this coming semester, I only have 11 units! Yay! Less worries!

No, seriously. Only 11 units?! Crap! I need to fix this on registration. But if I can't, maybe I'll take a part-time job. Or be a big-time student assistant. (Yay! Let's meet again library!)

And I have EE 151 now on the list. The dreaded subject. I wonder if everything's fine...

Oh yeah, Mangaholix is just a few days ahead!  And we're not finished with the preparations on our group costrip. Hmm, must do work...

BLAME! is full of awesome-ness. I've read the manga and it's so kick-ass! My love for cyberpunk is back. Cibo is so cool!And I'm still a bit sick...

Ugh. I want to read more manga, but my eyes are starting to hurt. And again, I can't sleep. I really don't know if this is insomnia, but it happens to me at least once a month. I slept at 5pm then woke up at 8pm; then sleep again at 11, and woke up at 1am. Then, I can't sleep anymore. I'm getting more and more tired in the process. And I hate it because I tend to go to sleep in the morning; I'll end up sleeping in a pool of sweat. And my eyes hurt, right now. I even thought their bleeding a while ago.But I want to read more manga. I'm finished reading Vol. 10 of Nodame Cantabile a while ago, then I took a break, and drank coffee so I could go to sleep. Then I realized "I drank coffee." Crap.
Why is Mahou-X so late in scanlating Soul Eater?! Scanlations should be on the 40+ chapters right now!! And Nabari no Ou! So slow!!
Why the hell is this blog entry so random?!

Now I started spouting rants.

But look! I even have time searching for images and putting it here in this "Oh-so-random blog." I admire myself!

I used to not like Kipi, because she is more liked by most people than Arisa Mizahara-chama. But now, I'm starting to like her. And I'm drooled over this Tsukamoto Tenma cosplay pic for about 30 seconds.
I tried peeking on some series uploaded on onemanga.com. But decided not to continue reading because I'll be continuing my "Chapter 1 manga title legacy." Oh yeah, you don't understand what I'm saying. Great!

Oh, I'm quite anxious about my costrip for Mangaholix. And my entry for "Create your own Claymore" on DA. I need to work on it soon.

Wow, I'm getting more random!

Ok, my biological clock tells me that I need to take a rest now because the sun is rising, and I don't want to have sleep-deprivation. But man, I feel so tired that I couldn't even get to lift myself up the chair and turn off the computer. Wow, up until now, never thought insomnia and laziness are synonymous.

Eh, I did a blog entry unconsciously! ^___^

Job application at Enchanted Kingdom = EPIC FAIL. XD Just when I thought the week is over!! Nay, I wasn't really disappointed, it's just that I feel quite stupid after the interview.

Days ago, I forced Empty to apply with me at EK. So we decided to complete the requirements and went there on Thursday to apply. And then the initial interview: approximately 40 applicants were suggested to come in front of the hall and introduced themselves one by one. Then the interviewer asked each questions. Strangely, I wasn't nervous minutes before my turn comes. I didn't try to self rehearse my "monologue" while waiting for my turn, like I used to do. But when I was the one being interviewed, my voice trembled. Worse, I introduced myself and talked about some seemingly useless stuff in front of the interviewer. Way to go! Then Empty's turn... It was like.. WTH? (Okay, I won't give the details on his interview.) And at the end of the session, the interviewer asked Empty's contact number. At that point, I realized; "Cool, Empty! Apir! You're hired! (And I'm not you lucky bastard...)" He was asked to wait for the details about the final interview and I got out of the building premises with a weird smirk on my face. Oh, I have to point this out: The interviewer's gaze on Empty looked really suspicious. (Hint: Kagat-labi)

Okay, as I've said, I wasn't really disappointed. It's my first time to be interviewed for a job anyway. I realized that I did something wrong. Empty pointed out that I'm making weird poses and speaking in notoriously fast but concise English while introducing myself. He said I look really conceited doing that. Hell, I wasn't aware of it. And maybe they hate my long browinsh ugly hair. But anyways, I didn't originally plan to apply at EK at all. So...

Next stop, call center!!!

Man, real life sure is though...

Mood: Not in the mood to do this stuff... <*Won't be posting until something good happens*>

A SATURDAY
A mission-filled day for me and the rest of SKRAM V; 'twas Ozine Fest 2008 Day 1! The day started with me being a destructor of plans, well, kinda... The call time should be 8:30-9am at Shal's house; but I arrived at GC (the 2nd waypoint) at 11:30am. And another bastard named Vernie came at past 12!! Punctuality is a BETCH!

The venue was SM Megamall Mega Trade Hall, and everyone was eager to fulfill their respective missions. The main mission of each was to enjoy Ozine Fest to the fullest, but each one has his own side quest. Seemed like Rumel tried to complete his side quest and was gone from the scene early. Shal did costrip that day, and Maki hanged-out with his friends. I dunno about Maki and Shal, but they seemed quite satisfied after the day ended. Vernie enjoyed the plethora of yaoi madness during the event. I did try my best to complete my side quest, but decided to just sit my ass for the rest of the day and watched the group cosplays and other performances. (And literally played with Shal's digicam.) Rumel returned before we went home and seems like he finished his mission first among SKRAM V peeps.

A SUNDAY
Ozine Fest 2008 Day 2. I purposedly tried to be a BETCH again to come late on the prescribed meeting time. But after Shal pm'ed me that the registration for the individual cosplay will end at 1:30pm, I snapped out of my evil plan and tried to come there (GC) as fast as I could. But Shal already left so he can register and I went to Mega with Rumel. Maki decided not to go; and Vernie had yaoi hang-over so he was not present, too.

Shal cosplayed as Tobi, and Rumel was just pretty laid back on that day. I was the ultimate "slave of the day", "the official p****grapher", and "the idiot of the day." But unexpectedly, I seemed to reach my goal to finish my side quest. Weird, but sometimes rare items came to haunt the moment you least expected it to. Well, though it seemed like a mission complete to me, something kinda bothered me before the day ends. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the whole day: the amazing cosplays; the futile attempt for cosplay photography; meeting strange people and (unexpected Pokemons); and some other unexplainable stuff. Shal felt really conceited about his cosplay (and the "other thing" that happened that day); Rumel looked ok; I'm having melancholic thoughts; Maki wasn't there; so was Vernie (and Lex..XD).


AN OMGWTFBBQ! DAY
Just I thought the Sunday was finished; I wasn't able to sleep early and ended up staying awake up to 5am (Monday). The mindless chatting with two people: a stooopid old classmate and some vegetable, kept me awake up until I heard the chickens. I was also so eager to download the first episode of Code Geass R2, but ended up to sleepy to watch it and just postponed it.

After I woke up, checked my e-mail, ate vigorously, and took a bath, I went to SKRAM V meeting at Maki's house to talk about the cosplay aftermath and play DotA afterwards. But while we're having our food trip during the afternoon, a mysterious entity named "Sandara Park" showed at the front of Maki's gate...

<*one-winged angel (sephiroth's theme) plays*> (no, really, i just don't know html.. XD)

...She begged for food, so I gave her the almost empty bag of Richie™. Then she asked for "panulak", but then told her that we had nothing left. Then, the she delivered the infamous line: "Hoy pogi, thank you ha!" Everyone was really freaked out! Then she said another line, but almost unhearable, something like: "Hoy kayo, tayo!" But for Rumel it sounded like, "Hoy, dattebayo!" WTF?! I really can't tell whom she reffering to (the pogi one.) But the 20% chance that each of us can be that guy really gave me the creeps. And hell, how can I watch/read Naruto now?! Moreover, SKRAM V bastards kept talking on the matter and some other issues about me, so I was like the "pawn for the day." So to release my anger and frustration, I got to be the "playmaker" on both DotA games that we played afterwards. Thanks Stygwyr and Puck. Bow!

JUST ANOTHER DAY
Well, Tuesday is just another day. Though me and Vernie decided to inquire at Enchanted Kingdom for application of possibly a summer job.

Mood: Annoyed

Drinking: Artificial Food Coloring

I shouldn't be posting anything today because I have a huge exam tomorrow but it just effing amazing that I was APRIL FOOLED today! I was browsing some comments and deviations at  deviantArt when suddenly all user icons became... MUDKIPS!

I was startled when I saw my icon became like this! I was about to panic when I realized that everyone's icon became mudkips, too. And very few minutes after that a friend posted a journal 'bout this Mudkip thingy.. uh, APRIL FOOLS'!!!  Shi~, deviantArt got me... AND I DON'T LIEK MUDKIPS!! XD

And I have an exam tomorrow, which is supposed to be taken today. My classmate was told by our teacher through text message that the exam was postponed. Come to think of it, was that just another APRIL FOOLS' joke?

"Those who didn't take the exam, wala kayong grade sa final exam, aalis-alis kayo eh, naniniwala kayo sa text! APRIL FOOLS'!!"

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!! D:

Okay, back to reality. I'll keep this blog short so that's about it. Two anime series that I've been watching these past months (Gundam 00 and Shakugan no Shana Second) both ended last weekend, so I'll find other series to look out for after exam week. (That explains the pic above: Code Geass will be back!) Also, the title of his post is supposed to be a joke too, but I really can't pull-off a good one because I'm kinda tired and pissed. So it turned into a half-assed title that is just pointless. Demmit.

Mood: Eye-strained

Oha-lucky! My monthly monologue! =D Oh how I love talking to myself...

Ep.1
This past weeks, I've been bothered by a number of, well, problems. And I needed a quick mind, to think like the wind, and ended up...

Problem # 1: Practicum Dilemma
Last month, my classmates were preparing bigtime for the upcoming practicum this summer. Because my mind was fluttering away slowly, everyday, that time, I couldn't decide if I would go for it or not...And I even attended a job fair (without any resume xD) that was held in our college to somehow influence me so I caould decide. Would I take the practicum course this summer?

Pros:
- I can finish a bothersome task quite early on.
- Fresh work on summer, a change from tedious classes.
- I can have money, in case the company offers.
- I can a take a topic early on, so I won't ran out of ideas if I delay the course.

Cons:
- I can't start my so-called "REVOLUTION" this summer. (Don't ask me about this! xD)
- I have to spend more money if the site is too far from home.

Decision:
Well, I didn't take it. Actually, the "last minute" for submitting the requirements and stuff, I decided that I would take the course, but realized that I should just take it easy, meaning next time. (I really didn't contact any companies. >_<) I can even get ideas from my classmates who are ahead of me... (Okay, I don't really used my thinking caps on this; I used my instinct.)

Problem # 2: The Job Offer

Though this is still quite uncertain and the details are not yet clear, I'm really anxious about this. It's a job offer from my tita in Denmark. She said a shipping company back there needs a lot of workers and employees, specifically engineers. Tita said she'll give the details later, and she'll find a way for me to get a job there. Promising huh?

No Pro/Cons Analysis:
Since there's insufficient data so far, I think I''ll jus t have to wait. I'm quite surprised myself for thinking ahead for my future plans; or maybe I'm just too tired...

Problem # 3: Cosplay Time!!
Oh shi~! A lot of anime conventions are coming soon, but I still can't decide who to cosplay!! I'm choosing from about four characters, though I would want to cosplay all of them soon. I'm using total cost as a factor to choose my next cosplay. But I don't want to rush things 'cause it may turn into a disaster. More like, I can't tell if I'm going to cosplay soon or just postpone it and do a better, well-prepared, and decent looking cosplay. And the most annoying factor that holds me back from cosplaying: tight budget. Really, I'm in near bankruptcy right now. (And I still want to do cosplay. That's what I call "passion"... =P). Think I would postpone my cosplay, from the planned date April to May?

Pros:
- Less worries for these coming weeks; can concentrate more on exams. LOL
- My purse, if it still exist, will be so happy!
- More time for preparation, much much better-looking cosplay!

Cons:
- But I do want to cosplay on April!
- And cosplaying is not just about costume, right?!
- I don't want to be a LURKER again!!! (Now I'm losing my reasoning abilities...)

Decision:
I'd say I'll postpone it. I'll work hard for my next cosplay! =D But then, I can be easily tricked...

Problem # 4: The Unexplained "REVOLUTION"
Though I love to have monologues every now and then and post it on my blog, I still have some things about me and my goals that are needed to be kept as secrets. (The hell I'm posting this if it's a secret!) It's the afore-mentioned "REVOLUTION", which consists of short-term goals that connects the shards of my broken ego; the strings that wind to form my lines of my unparalleled dreams; and the rush of bursting emotions that I must stabilize. OMGWTFYGQDDH@#&*^?!! Am I going insane?!!


Ep.2
And YES! The semester is about to end, so I need to tolerate, for things will turn out good soon, hopefully...

MOOD: Constipated

LISTENING TO: Hibana by HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR; Life is Easy by Urbandub

EATING: Nothing

I noticed that a lot of people especially here in Multiply posted their Christmas wishlist these past weeks. I'm kinda envious, because i CAN'T post my wishlist because it's too long (it's supposed to be a wishBOOK, it'll be entitled "I Want to Conquer the Universe: My Extreme Christmas Wish!") So I'll post my New Year's Resolution(S) instead. Yup, because it so happened that 2007 is not my year. Well, here I go... *takes a deep breath*

-- I'll try to do my resolve every year...

-- I'll try not to make too much resolves next year...

-- I'll try not to use "I'll try..." in every sentence I make... (and lessen the use of ellipsis...)

-- I'll try not to be lazy on every aspect of life...

-- I'll do my best on my academics... wait... I'll do the nearest to my best on my academics next year...

-- I'll be more active to the groups and organizations...

-- I'll settle my accountabilities... T_T

-- I'll release my artistic side! No more hiatus! The start of Kej's art movement is on the year 2008!

-- I'll lessen playing DotA... wait... I'll lessen losing on DotA! *D'X suck it*

-- I'll lessen watching too much and reading manga for several hours...

-- I'll sleep more...

-- I'll be more alert, so that I can save more stray cats from danger...

-- I'll try not to daydream about world domination once in a while...

-- I'll try not to eat too much instant pancit canton and choknat...

-- I'll try to eat vegetables...

-- I'll try to be a good "child", even though I'm already twenty, by not asking too much allowance from my parents and relatives... ^_^

-- I'll listen more to radio than watch TV...

-- I'll try not to own the videoke whenever possible...

-- I'll use time management...

-- I'll be a more responsible citizen...

-- I'll try not to suppress my true feelings, because it freakin' hurts... (WTF?!)

-- I'll try not to forget these New Year's resolutions... (that's why it's in my blog..)

Hmm.. I think that's about it... Banzai!

2008, Gimme LUCK please!! ^o^

I have this PEIN AND KONAN fanart that I've been dying to finish this past months but I just can't for some reason. Well, the penciling (for the lack of better term) is already finished and it's well done! And the works left is to ink it and then edit and color it using photoshop. But STUPIDITY strikes! I inked the sketch (using a uber cheap ballpen) and i messed it up real bad! DARN IT! So now I'm thinking of re-doing it, but now I'm turning LAZY... (I should have scanned first the line art so that I'd posted something on my deviantart...) Oh, well...

Also, I started this concept for a fanart a week ago. It supposed to be a CHIBI CLAYMORE fanart. I'm thinking of the wardrobe. I can't decide whether to use their claymore outfit or causal ones. I'm also considering school girl uniforms. I already have some sketches but I'm not satisfied. And I now the problem is that this week is the last week of classes before Christmas vacation and it is RUMORED that we will have an exam. So, I'll be doing this one in the Christmas vacation... It seems that I'm destined to not finish my fanarts on time... Haha, that's Kej for you!

My Deviantart by the way: http://kshinigami.deviantart.com

I know, I know.. I'm a NOOB to know this just recently. Well, actually, I've been hearing (and reading) about it a lot before, but it was only last night that I've first TRIED listening to a radio drama. I picked up a borrowed DVD which contains a lot of anime music and found this "Bleach Drama CD". Since there includes a word document that contains the translation, I've tried listening to it. And whoa, to my surprise, I LIKED it. Uh well, maybe since it's Bleach. But the experience is kinda unique, WAY different from watching the anime or reading the manga. You can really appreciate the seiyuu's voices more on the drama. I don't know if they are the same seiyuus from the anime, but they did the job perfectly. Also, you CAN really listen well to the background music. The OST on the anime and the drama is the same (well, it should be..) I wonder what'll be the impact of this drama to me if I I didn't know Bleach anime and manga before...

Hitsugaya: "Soten ni saze, Hyourinmaru!" [SFX: raawwrr]
Ichimaru: "Ikorose, Shinsou!." [SFX: whoosh]
~only voices and sfx are weird and awesome at the same time

Hinamori's voice and screaming is SO CUTE in the drama that you'll forget she's a weakling in the anime, haha...

Hinamori: (while attacking Histugaya) AAHHHHH!!!

:-)

After four long, agonizing months, Yuki (she's my laptop and she's not white) is okay now! I mean, i already have a new charger for her! Yup, i can continue to work on my fanarts, to read tons of manga, and to watch pa-next DVD's! Yay!

The Good:

Not really that good; actually, it's kinda weird. Today's the day of the celebration for me being 2 decades old. And to my surprise, a lot of people in los banos greeted me in school, umaga pa lang yun. Never been greeted by almost every EE student i know since my last birthdays. Even in high school, wala masyadong bumabati. On top of that, last night,about 15 people greeted me thru text, and they texted on my sister's number! (How'd they know it?!?)They didn't even included their names, and i don't have them in my phonebook. Thank you weirdos, anyway. XD Maybe people have much better memory now?! But hey, about three of those who greeted me early this morning, said "belated happy birthday"! Hey pokemons, my birthday is today! LOLz

Of course, it's confirmed that i passed EE 12!! Yay!!

The Bad:

This is REALLY bad. I went to DOST office and found out that my scholarship is terminated. WTF?! I've tried hard to pass that damn subject and this is what i get?? Our regional director said that he himself recommends to give back my scholarship but the peeps from the main office didn't want to. He said those guys are very unpredictable; the verdicts always depends on their mood. So what i'm going to do is i should give a reconsideration letter (again) a la Maalaala Mo Kaya. If it is approved, then i'll be P15000 richer; if not, then i'll be penniless as always. Oh man, it's like i'm getting another removal exam but in different format...

The Ugly:

My Warlock is on Rumel's Sisi List?! I won't accept it! I'll show you pokemons that i can do better! I can do better than Shalnark's Venomancer na rekta Aghanims! Humpa!
