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

Found this posted by someone. Rating: R-15 I'm not being rude or anything. This video is just... educational.

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...

13. Oh crap! Somebody ate posts #8 to #12!! I think the culprit is Laziness. But maybe he did it to prevent the impending grave randomness of my blog.

{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...

Mood: Bittersweet
Listening to: Seimeiryoku album by Chatmonchy
Reading: Doubt manga
Watching: Witch Yoo Hee
Playing: GBA Emulator again XP
Eating: Dreams
Drinking: Brain juice

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...

Mood: Dead
Listening to: Buiikikaesu album by Maximum the Hormone
Reading: BLAME! and some other manga
Watching: BLAME! ONA and some other anime
Playing: Nothing, really
Eating: Antibiotic
Drinking: Orange Juice made especially for the sick

Oh, this just made my day! Pure win win! We need these kinds of teachers to improve the quality of education in our country.. or so I think. Got the link from Jin's DA journal. Oh god, this really cracked me up; I almost burst into tears.

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! ^___^
