    Sige, gastos... gastos lang ng gastos...

    Christmas day is coming again, and I know a lot people have plenty to spend, especially when they are fueled by money.... uhh including me.

    I decided last week that instead of giving gifts to my cousins, nephews/nieces, and godchildren, I will give them cash to avoid the christmas rush, having to choose and to wrap it, and other things... but then I realized that most cash that I gave most of the time 'magically' flies to their parents' pockets, never to be heard again by the poor little critters, uh I mean kids. I'm speaking through experience here, by the way :D

    Hmm, now that I got my 13th month pay, should I be celebrating? NO, not yet. This is also the time when the bills come earlier than expected, and wants to get their lion's share earlier than their expected due date (damn credit card companies, ugh -.-) And I still have to give my mom her lioness share. I have already computed how much money I need to withdraw... and it looks like nothing will be left... again. Now when can I get out of my rat race?

    Anyway, the comapany Christmas party draws near, and I have prepared almost 65% of what I need to wear to fit the glamrock scene. I think I still have to look for black pants, boots and my hair color for this week... And oh, I still have to fix my spiked choker. I was joking that every day I'm inching closer to getting kicked out of the house because of the dress and accessories I've been wearing for the party ^__^ (...now why do I sound like I'm happy about it? lol...)

    In speaking of the choker, I'm trying to improvise because the ready-made is very expensive...

    * * * * * * * * * *

    me: miss, can I try on those neck chokers?

    miss: okay, here it is...

    me: how much is this?

    miss: it is written on the tag...

    me: oh... is this 950php?

    miss: no, it's 1950php...

    me: oh man, it's costly

    * * * * * * * * * *

    ...But I tried it on anyway. Good thing my brother is with me at that time.

    * * * * * * * * * *

    bro: would you really like a neck choker?

    me: of course

    bro: why don't we go to a home depot and look for dog collar?

    me: ... hmm, sounds a good idea

    * * * * * * * * * *

    So there we went. I was bit shy of putting it on at first because it is for dogs, of course, but then I checked again at the previous store and the studs used on the dog collar and the neck choker were just slightly different from each other. I just have to make some adjustments to do in order to lock it without the belt buckle. Give me a good luck :)

    Whaw, we bought a lot of CDs today ^____^

     

    Dreamy Idealist Dreamy Idealist (DI)

    (Just visiting? Take the free personality test and determine your iPersonic type!)

    Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved toothers. They share their rich emotional life and their passionateconvictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistakento judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced innersystem of values and clear, honourable principles for which they arewilling to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad wouldhave been good examples of this personality type. Dreamy Idealists arealways at great pains to improve the world. They can be veryconsiderate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand upfor them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive andgenerous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue or person isaroused, they can become tireless fighters.

    For DreamyIdealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busythemselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary.They tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls thechaos” - which is normally the case so that they often have a verysuccessful academic career. They are less interested in details; theyprefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still havea good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as aresult, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlooksomething important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not toopenly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up.Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflictsand competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with theiramicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior willnever have to complain about not being given enough praise.

    Asat work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful and loyal friends and partners,persons of integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. Thefeelings of others are important to them and they love making otherpeople happy. They are satisfied with just a small circle of friends;their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need alot of time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not their thing.If one wishes to be friends with them or have a relationship with them,one would have to share their world of thought and be willing toparticipate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will berewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due totheir high demands on themselves and others, this personality typetends however to sometimes overload the relationship with romantic andidealistic ideas to such an extent that the partner feels overtaxed orinferior. Dreamy Idealists do not fall in love head over heels but whenthey do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love.

    ashley greene

    I think I mentioned something here at tabulas that I want to try watching Twilight's movie first before reading the book... para naman maappreciate ko yung pagkakagawa. Madalas kasi pag nabasa ko na yung libro, nilalait ko na yung movie kasi marami nang tinanggal o kaya idinagdag na hindi naman kailangan. At para umiwas sa mga maseselang bagay tulad ng paglait dun sa movie dahil mahal ko pa ang buhay ko, eto na lang ang kwekwento ko:

    Siya po si Ashley Greene, ang gumanap na Alice sa Twilight. Ganda nya no? ^__^ Naghahanap ako ng pic nya as pitcher dun sa baseball game nila kaso wala pa akong makita. (Pagbigyan nyo na ako, minsan lang ako maging fanboy, hehehe)

    Mukhang hindi ako bibili ng libro nito. Saka kung gusto ko man, out of stock na siya sa fullybooked gateway, at nakareserve na yata yung mga natirang sequels nito... Or better yet, magpapakwento na lang ako sa iba hehehe.

    * * * * * * * * * *

    Off-topic: akalain mo nga naman... May commercial pala sa Nico Nico Douga, bigla na lang tumigil yung video tapos papanoorin mo yung commercial. Wala kang lusot kasi tinanggal nila yung progress bar nung pinapanood mo. Sa tingin ko eh every exact araw siya nangyayari kasi lumitaw sa akin nung 1am (2am sa Japan). Anyway, here's a YouTube clip instead. Enjoy!

    meron "daw" akong "kaibigan"...

    sa totoo lang, di ko masabi kung matuturing ko ngang kaibigan ko sya, eh ang ginawa ko lang naman ay inadd ko sya as "friend". tapos may nagsabi sa akin na ayaw daw nya akong kausap kasi inaanalyze ko daw yung sinasabi nya. then nalaman ko na sya pala ay liar, so tama pala ang intuition ko sa umpisa pa lang.

    ano ang moral story? wala, namention ko lang.

    kung nasa friends' list kita, wag ka kabahan, ndi ikaw yun.

    Whatta realization...

    I just found that...

     

     

     

     

     

     

    More than 50% of my salary goes to bills alone, including credit card bils.

    A portion will be paid in my cousin and niece's tuition fees.

    A portion will be given to my mom.

    Plus travelling expenses and daily meals everytime I go to work.

    Which if summed up, I almost get nothing.

    Now I know why I don't feel enthusiastic when working.


    Tssssssssssssssss...

     

     

    13th month pay, please make me happy again, lolx

    I almost lost my cellphone and wallet...

    Ganito kasi yan...

    Nagyayang mag-swimming yung ka-opismeyt ko dati sa may sports center. Ako naman tong si late, 30mins na bago makarating. Umuulan-ulan pa nun pero tumuloy pa rin ako. Nagtetext sya kaso wala akong pangreply dahil kasalukuyan akong pulubi ng mga oras na iyon.

    Dahil may bayad yung swimming (malamang) eh nag-withdraw ako ng pang-entrance. Aba swerte, pasok na pala yung sweldo namin.

    Tapos pumunta na ako dun sa swimming pool. Tatlo kami, kaso yung isa hindi nakapag-swimming kasi strict pala dun, bawal yung basketball shorts. Tapos umuulan pa nun at malakas ang ulan. Ipinagbawal ng mga lifeguards ang pag-swiswimming kasi baka 'daw' tamaan ng kidlat yung pool.

    Anyway, nagbihis na ako ng panligo ko, tapos yung kasama ko naman nagbihis na ng pang-lakad. Manonood na lang daw siya.

    Pagkatapos ng mahigit na isang oras na paghihintay (at pagkwekwentuhan sa mga kasama ko), nagkapagswimming na rin ako dahil humina na yung ulan at nag-signal na ng 'thumbs up' yung lifeguard.

    Hindi rin ako masyadong nagtagal kasi hindi na ako masyadong sanay mag-swimming. Tapos malamig pa.

    Nung nagbibihis na ako, doon ko lang narealize na yung shorts na tinganggal ko bago ako mag-swimming ay wala dun sa bag ko. Andoon yung wallet, id, credit cards at cellphone ko.

    Sinubukan ko ring magpabalik-balik dun sa shower room para silipin kung naiwan ko. Ni-report ko rin dun sa mga lifeguard. Kaso wala silang maitulong.

    Gusto ko na sanang umuwi kasi irereport ko pa yun nawalang credit card ko, pero pumunta muna kami sa patay, sumalangit na kasi yung mother nung isa naming ka-opismeyt din dati. So ayun, parang mini-reunion ang nangyari. Sinubukan kong tawagan nang dalawang beses pero hindi sinasagot. Sabi nung kasama ko i-text ko na lang na isauli na lang yung wallet doon sa may sports center at babalikan na lang namin kasi hassle pang magpagawa ng mga affidavit of loss dun sa mga cards.

    Umalis yung isa kong kasama kasi susunduin nya yung anak nya sa simbahan, kaso mukhang hindi na kami binalikan. So nagyaya na akong umuwi. Malapit lang naman yung punerarya sa amin kaya naglakad na lang ako pauwi.

    Tapos, pagdating sa bahay, andun yung isang lifeguard. Binalik nya yung shorts ko, kasama yung wallet, id at cellphone ko. Nagpasalamat ako ng todo. Sa sobrang tuwa binigay ko na lang yung winithdraw ko sa kanya.

    Akalain mo nga naman. Meron pang mga taong tulad ni manong lifeguard na talagang pumunta pa sa bahay namin para isauli yung gamit ko.

    Salamat po ulit!

    2pm. Dumating ang mommy ko. Nanood kami ng telenobelang pinagtataka ko kung bakit hindi pa matapos-tapos eh mababaw lang naman yung plot. Pagkatapos natulog ulit ako

    6pm. Kailangan nang kumilos. Kinuha ko ang gitara ko at nagsimulang ... teka wala sa tono. Ginalaw nga pala ito nung spolied brat sa kabilang bahay at hindi ko na maibalik sa dati. Next time na lang.

    6:30pm. Kinuha ko yung libro ko para sundan yung insctructions sa pag-dra-drawing. Kaso masyado akong natuwa kaya binasa ko na lang lahat. Oops, kakain na.

    Songs I heard from nu107...

    Recently I'm enjoying some FM radio music, thanks for the n70 my cousin sold to me (in which he has no plans of retrieving it back).

    One disadvantage of listening to the FM station is you can't play a song again (for obvious reasons, of course). However, it is good because you can't easily get tired of that particular song, especially if it is one of your favorites. I also had a chance of listening to some pinoy rock songs.

    Now, I've been hunting down some mp3s of the tracks I heard, like Me as Time's "Opaque" and the other song from Attack! Attack! (The ad says it is "This is a Test" but actually it is a different song from the same artist). I already got Opaque and This is a Test but I haven't downloaded that song. Uhh the last line from the song sounded like "Honesty did not take me anywhere" or something... Any help?

    Just in case you are wondering, I stolen downloaded them from MySpace.


    *UPDATE* The title of the song is "Honesty", first track of their self-titled debut album "Attack! Attack!"... Due this Oct 7 2008

    Is this Pr0n?

    I was looking in the Nihongo Dekimasu Blogspot Page to get some review materials for my upcoming test when I stumbled upon this:

    Cat Girl Kiki

    Yoshiro is a lonely introvert who is stuck in a rut. Every day is drab and boring until he finds an abondoned kitten and brings it home. The next morning, Yoshiro discovers that the kitten had transformed into a beautiful girl named Kiki! Too bad she has cat ears and scratches up the furniture. It seems like a match made in heaven, but whats the secret behind Kikis sudden appearance, and what does it mean for Yoshiros chance at a normal life?

    LATE!!!

    Akalain mo nga naman...

    Upang masupil ang paulit-ulit na umuusbong na Vicious Cycle of Tardiness, naisipan kong matulog buong Sabado at Linggo para naman hindi ako tanghaliin ng gising sa Lunes. Sa kasamaang palad, nag-backfire ang plano ko. Mukhang nasanay ang katawan kong nakahilata buong maghapon kaya na-late (nanaman) ako ng gising. My lazy side says, "Monday naman eh, rush hour nanaman sa MRT, akala ko ba ayaw mo nang maipit?". Tpos dinagdag pa nya, "Mas mapipilitan kang mag-OT kasi malaki pa yung oras, eh pag late na, hahabulin mo na yung last trip ng LRT2". May point naman siya kaya sinunod ko yung payong kaibigan nya. Ni maisipang bumangon para mag-exercise, hindi ko rin ginawa. Wala tuloy laman yung lampayatot kong katawan.

    As usual, nag-prepare ako ng isusuot, pinilit ayusin yung uniform kong magugusot rin naman mamaya pag nagkatulakan na sa MRT. Syempre naligo, nagbihis at nag-toothbrush. Kumain? Hindi ako kumakain ng almusal, sinisikmura ako sa byahe...

    Dahil tanghali na ako nakarating sa office, kumain na lang ako mag-isa. In some ways okay din kumain mag-isa kasi nakakafocus ako sa pagkain at hindi naman ako naiipit sa 'intellectual conversation' ng mga bossing ko (Akala mo sa una eh normal conversation pero maya-maya nagsasalita na sila ng buzzwords, scientific explanation, ingredients na hindi mo mawari kung saan nila hinugot, lugar kung saan-saang lupalop ng pilipinas napulot, philippine history na kinalimutan ko na nung high school na pilit naman nilang hinahalukay, etc etc etc). Natapos ko ang kfc one piece chicken meal ko (with extra rice and large rootbeer) under twenty minutes.

    Buti na lang hindi ako inaantok ngayong tanghali. Aba dapat lang, puro tulog nga ginawa ko buong Sabado and Linggo eh. Siguro kung may pera nung mga oras na iyon, hindi mo ako makikita sa bahay.
    Ngayon naman naisipan kong mag-merienda kasi malamang sa hindi nanaman ako makakakain nito ng hapunan kasi nagtratrabaho pa ako nun.

    Kinagabihan, pauwi na dapat ang mga tao. Madalasan kami na lang yung natitira sa office, kasama nung ibang mga night-shift saka nag-o-overlap ng hours sa client sa US. Kaso iba ang gabing ito, umuulan ng malakas sa labas at yung iba ay nagpapatila pa. Yung mismong big boss eh napa-stay ng office.

    Anyway, mga 10:30pm na natapos ang ginagawa ko. Kung hindi siguro ako chat ng chat sa kausap kong nagtatanong tungkol sa game design na subject nila sa school eh siguro 5pm eh tapos ko na yung ginagawa ko. Bumaba na ako ng building at nagbabaka-sakaling makuha ng 15mins ang byahe papuntang MRt station at maabutan ang last trip.

    Ngunit pagtingin ko sa kalsada, mukhang hindi yata mangyayari yun. Dagsaan ng dami ang mga tao sa kalye, mukhang mga stranded kasi halong puno lahat ng sasakyang dumadaan. Yung iba naman ayaw na tumuloy kasi baha yung dadaanang ruta. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, magbubus na lang ako pauwi.

    Habang nag-aabang ng bus, may narinig akong dalawang babae sa likod ko. Yung isa kausap yata yung boyfriend. The conversation sounded at little something like this: (parang rapper lang, haha)

    girl 1: hello...
            Pano ko sasagutin yung phone ko eh nasa daan ako...
            Naka-silent ang phone ko eh, saka mahirap sumakay...
            Kailangan ko pa ba mag-explain? basang basa na kami dito sa ulan...
            Wala pang masakyan. Naghihintay nga kami ng taxi eh...
    girl 2: Ano ba yang boyfriend mo.
    girl 1: Nakakainis, pinag-e-explain pa ako
            ...
    girl 1: hello... sino bang hindi maiinis nyan, eh basa na kami sa ulan...
            Hindi ka ba makapaghintay? konting pasensya naman...
    girl 2: Bakit ganyan yung boyfriend mo?
    girl 1: Ewan ko ba... wala na yatang lalaking matino...

    Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako. Pagkatapos dumaan ng pang-limang bus mukhang makakasingit na ako. Sumakay ako dun tapat ng pintuan ng bus. Siguro kung may lokong taong bigla na lang manulak laglag ako sa labas. Nung mayroong mga bumaba, pinipilit kong pumasok. Habang nagmumuni-muni ako, bigla kong naisip na para palang sardinas ang sitwasyon namin. Una, parang kinakalawang na latang yung nasakyan namin na parang nagrereklamo na tuwing papara ng bus. Pangalawa naman ay siksikan na kami sa loob. Kaya malaking pasalamat ko nung tumayo yung nasa tapat ko kaya nakuha ko yung upuan nya. Hindi ko na inintindi yung uniform kong gusot-gusot kasi pare-parehas naman kaming wala nang paki-alam kung ano na yung hitsura namin at gusto na lang makauwi.

    Tapos medyo lumuwag yung bus, presyo na ulit yung hangin, pero makikita mo sa daan na ang dami pa ring nag-aabang. Kaya sa madaling sabi, napuno ulit yung bus. Tamang-tama naman na may tumapat na isang babae sa upuan ko.

    angel: magpaupo ka..
    devil: wag na, hindi mo naman kilala yan eh
    ako  : oo nga
    angel: eh ano naman, where are your manners?
    devil: hindi na uso ang gentleman-gentleman ngayon
    ako  : oo nga
    angel: hindi ka ba naaawa?
    devil: hindi naman mukhang pulubi eh, bakit ka naman maaawa?
    ako  : oo nga...
           teka, bat umaangat yung pwet ko?
           teka, bat ako umaalis dun sa upuan?

    ako  : miss, upo ka na...

    Hindi ko na pinakinggan kung nag-thank you siya, pero ang alam ko eh umupo siya kapalit ko.

    angel: Wahaahhaha, uto-uto, bwahahahaha
    devil: bakit ka pinanghinaan ng loob? Manalig ka!

    Nakita kong tumawa si angel habang nagro-rolling on the floor while laughing pa sa dimensyon ng utak ko. Sa pagkakataong ito, hindi ko alam kung sino ba talaga ang anghel at demonyo sa kanilang dalawa.

    Sa pagkakataong iyon, muli nanaman ako tumayo. Pumuwesto ako sa bandang likod para hindi ako maka-istorbo sa mga dadaan. Tumingin na lang ako sa labas para malaman ko na hindi pa ako lumalampas.

    Makalipas ang ilang minuto naka-upo ulit ako. Tumayo na lang ulit ako nung malapit nang bumaba. Pagkababa, Nilakad ko yung kahabaan ng palengke para sumakay ulit ng jeep. Isang sakay pa ulit pagkatapos nito kasi mukhang wala nang diretso papunta sa amin ng bandang alas-dose.

    Pagbaba sa bayan, tiyempo naman na may jeep papunta sa amin. Nahulugan pa ako ng piso kaya imbis na sakto yung ibibigay ko kay manong driver eh kumuha pa ako ng bente. Sabay buga sa akin ng lolong kung makahithit ng sigarilyo eh parang tambutso.

    (After ten minutes) Salamat naman at nakauwi rin. Akala ko soggy wet na yung paa ko pagkauwi, pero yung kanang paa lang pala. Yung kaliwang paa tuyo. Pagkatapos kumain ng hapunan, may dagdag na instant noodles at malamig na pandesal (wala pa raw mainit sabi nung tindero sa bakery) eh sinulat ko ito.

    Isang oras na rin ang nakalipas, natapos rin itong entry. Pwede na akong matulog ngayon. Kaso malamang na late ulit ako bukas.

    Vicious cycle nga naman oh.

    Ice Cream

    Comfort food ko ang ice cream. Pag gutom ako at kapos sa oras kuamin, ice cream. Pag depressed ako, ice cream. Pag stressed ako, ice cream. Pag masakit ang ulo ko, ice cream. Pag happy ako, ice cream. Ice cream is the answer to all problems. At naipayo ko na rin yan sa isa kong friend, kaso mukhang hindi sya naniwala.

    If you are familiar with the softee ice cream sold in convienience stores like Mini-stop, that's what I am referring to. Depending on the season, it is available in vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. In my place, it costs Php15.00. It is still sold even on rainy days and yet most patronizers of the product are still buying.

    Minsan kumakain ako ng ice cream sa office kahit alam kong bawal mag-dala ng pagkain sa workstation. Regular na kasi ako eh, may sungay na kaya pasaway. One time in an elevator, I heard a group of friends talking, and their conversation goes something like this:

    officemate #1: Sarap ng ice cream no?

    officemate #2: Oo naman.

    officemate #1: Pangalawa ko na nga ito eh.

    officemate #2: Takaw ah. Ang lamig lamig na eh, tapos nag a-ice cream ka pa.

    officemate #1: Eh masarap eh.

    officemate #2: Dadalhin mo ba yan sa desk mo?

    officemate #1: Hindi no, bawal yun eh.

    Good thing I wasn't eating ice cream by that time, or else I might choke on it while eating. The one who mentioned it is just one cubicle away from me. But then the remark is not for me, and officemate # 1 is not the type of person who would do such things.

    Too bad I don't have any supplies of ice cream at home. I badly needed one.

     

    Currently feeling: craving for ice cream

    Incidents

    Funny thing, because I was about to edit one of my categories when the screen turns gray and returns a php error at the bottom. I'll file the bug next time when I regained my password to the forums...

    * * * * * * * * * *

    My dreams are weird lately.

    Dream #1: The first one I dreamed about is an event where I, along with my highschool friends, are waiting for a jeepney. We noticed that the train above us (we are just underneath the tracks) is moving erratically... when suddenly they fall in front of us. After the accident, we are so thankful that the train didn't fall on us (but it fell on the persons in front of us) and then decided to get home. We went home by riding the same train line.


    Dream #2: This is more of a dark age wherein the demons are invading the neighborhood. The setting is set on a province. Morning is safe, but when the dark comes all the demons came out and attacking the villagers. Since most of the demons are in-disguise, you really didn't know who to trust. I tried escaping them. There have been a change of sceneries but the outcome doesn't change; the villagers always loses the battle. I also tried to 'chase' the sun to avoid the demons, but to no avail (You can't really chase the sun to avoid nights). There have been also some rituals of some sorts (It is freaky to see children murmuring by themselves... if they are not afraid of the demons then they are demons).  I got to mention: I tried escaping them by jumping from roof to roof. It sounds like a good video game though.

    My mom commented that I should stay away from my mangas for a while, lolx.

    I'm loving my Lightwedge for my books and Lightwedge Paperback for my manga :)

    JLPT Exams are scheduled on December 7 2008. I have requested for a copy of the Application Form, all I need is to 
    put a picture and pass it. There is no turning back... Actually there is, but then the next opportunity to take the exam will be next year. Doom.

    I tried testing myself for Level 3 but appears that... I always get 50% of the sample quiz. I should pass 60% to pass.

    Oh well, there's still 4 months to practice. But I need to pass that registration paper first.

    I hope I'll pass because we're gonna need a sack of Japanese words if my plan to visit Japan will materialize.

    I was surprised that my project manager scheduled a meeting with me. It is uncommon for her to give one-on-one meetings, so I thought I did something wrong again. AFter all the hussle & buzzle, it is just to inform me that I have an increase. It is nothing to brag about (it is just measly), but then I haven't performed way to their standards so I guess it is just a so-so on my part. On the other side of things, I'm still enjoying my work (and still learning) so I think I'll gonna stay here for now.

    Waaaaaaaaaaahh!!!

    (Wala lang, gusto ko lang sumigaw, hekhek)

    I feel envy for the people who can write freely and express their thoughts through their blogs... but then that's not enough reason for me to stop, diba diba? Sige subukan mong mag disagree, hihilahin ko dila mo, lolx

    Gabi nanaman, malamang late nanaman ako bukas. Ang aga ko nga pumasok sa office kanina pero late naman ako umuwi, eh di ganun din, parang nag-OTY na rin ako. Tapos bukas conference call nanaman, malamang eh lilibakin nanaman ako ng mga taga-US. Good luck na lang sa akin.

    (Okay, bago maging workblog ang entry na ito, titigil na ako, pramis...)

    On the other side of things.. I'm so happy na ang dami kong nabili sa eBay ngayon... Hmm, pede rin mabenta ang mga yon, hehehe. I'll reveal them when I receive it (that is kung sisipagin ako). basta meron dung manga. Pwede na rin akong magbasa sa gabi kasi meron na akong LightWegde kakabili kong sa sa FullyBooked. But wait, there's still more. Dahil chinarge ko siya sa credit card (kawawang credit card, puro charge) eh nakakuha naman ako ng Discount Card, 10% discount din yun hehehe. Mas mura sa National Bookstore kaso matagal ang pag-iipon ng refund dun, sa FullyBooked Discount Card 10% discount agad... yun nga lang, depende sa items yun. Yung sa Laking National kahit ano... oh well, at least discounted hehehe... By the way, baka bumili ako ng LightWedge Paperback para sa mga manga ko, hekhek.

    Sana mabili ko yung Saint Seiya bukas... that is kung makakagising ako ng maaga. Pag ndi ako magising, next week nanaman ang opportunity kong mabili yun.

    * * * * * * * * * *

    JLPT, which stands for Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Sana naman eh makapag-test ako. Kahit hindi ako pumasa okay lang. Kaso paano naman ako papasa dito kung hindi naman ako nag-aaral, lolx

    Kaya wag nyo ako tuluran, magpractice na kayong magsulat gamit ito:

    hiragana practice sheet, katakana practice sheet from studyjapanese.org.

    Enjoy ^__^

    (Tulog na ako, zzzzz)

    Uh-oh, I'm dedz >.>

    My long neglected blog is in the ashes...  Kelan pa yung last entry ko? Mukhang wala naman ata akong mailagay dito eh. It seems that "work" is controlling me again. I'd rather not post any work-related here. Nasa bahay na nga ako, work pa rin aatupagin ko...


    Post ko na nga lang yung image namin nina kairee at solitude12.

    Me cosplaying as pikachu, lolz

    Hanggang ngayon eh wala pa rin akong panahon para i-upload ko yung ibang pics... hayyy tamad... Bigla ko naman tuloy na-miss yung eyeglasses ko. Nawala ko kasi yan eh, hahahaha. Next sweldo na lang ulit ako magpapagawa ng bago.

    * * * * * * * * * *

    Natapos ko na pala yung Golden Compass at Subtle Knife. Nakakabitin kasi cliffhanger pala yung Book2 sa Book3. Medyo nakakaasiwa yung ending kaso mukhang maraming details na na-left out at (sa tingin ko) eh masasagot sa Book 3. Yun nga lang, bibilhin ko pa yung Book 3 (Amber Spyglass). Ang hirap magkwento ng hindi nang-iispoil, lolx. Punta na lang kayo sa Wikipedia just in case na gusto nyo malaman yung details.

    purchasing pawaa

    It's been a month since my last entry. Sobrang tagal na nun ah. As usual, busy sa work. Mid-shift nanaman ako dahil inorder ng mga US counterparts, "until further notice" so hindi ko alam kung kelan ganito ang schedule namin.

    Ang dami ko palang nabiling stuffs at music CDs sa isang 2nd hand shop. Marami na akong nabili, tulad ng:


    • Casio Piano Organ CTK-560L Lighted Keyboard

    • "First Love" (single & album) and "Distance" by Utada Hikaru

    • "Valenti" (single & album) by BoA

    • "Invoke" by TM Revolution and "Moment" by Vivian or Kazuma (theme songs from Gundam Seed)

    ... At marami pang CDs na sa dami eh hindi ko kayang i-post ng ibang upuan. Next time ko na lang ilista yung ibang items pag sinipag, hehehe.

    Sa eBay naman, bumili naman ako nito:

    ... isang lumang SONY CD/CDV/LD Player Model: MDP-MR1 para mabili ko rin yung mga anime nila na naka LaserDisc, hehe. Gumagana naman siya kasi natesting ko naman eh... Hindi naman ako magastos diba?

    May kwikwento pa sana ako kaso ang hirap maghanap nung mga CD covers. Next time na lang, saka inaantok na ako.

    Ozinefest 08: Day One

     

    After that tiring day one, i'm so happy that I took a lot of pictures in that event, too bad I can't upload them all so I have to be picky with my choices. Without further ado, here's the pics that I got:

    Woah, that was a hell of an upload. Since I uploaded them I was too late for the early bird again, lol. Unfortunately I run out of battery around 6pm so I wasn't able to take more pictures, but it's okay. We are already tired by that time and decided to leave.

    By the way, if you think I type some of the information wrong, feel free to correct me and I'll edit it. Owners of the pictures has the right to remove their pictures off my multiply site and this entry. 

    Oh, I forgot to add:

    I bought this from the dAMeet booth. Stellar from Gundam SEED Destiny. Isn't she cute?

    And did I say that her skirt can be removed? You perv, lolz hahaha. I'm just saying that it can be removed and that's it. Now what's with that look? 0__o

    Stay tuned for the day two!
