HEllo People!

Hello hello hello! :D How are you guys? I hope we can attend Tracy's Jap night thing on December. And I'd like to invite everyone to UP on Dec 15(?) to watch the Lantern Parade. :D Hehehe... And I've recently been feeling hmm... lazy? I dunno...

And recently, I've been watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy more, and the Fab 5 are so funny. ^^ There was this part when the straight guy told Kyan that he looked like Keanu, and then Carson goes and says "People say I look like Ellen De Generes." I dunno if I spelled the name right, but it really cracked me up. And he does... kinda... with the blond hair and all. ^^ Hehehe... those guys are really funny. ^^

Hmm... I wonder what kind of acrobatics Vigile can do, Gil and KAren showed us a few stunts, and it amazed the entire bunch of people there in the Workshop.

And Lyka wants a regular movie date every friday. They watched Prime last night. Tsk, tsk... that's two fun activities regrettably missed already this month. ><

And we set up our Christmas Tree already. I hope it looks ok, cause my sisters and I did the decor hanging. We aren't exactly good at proper distance and distribution estimation. ^^

And I computed my projected expenses this week, and it seems i'll be exceeding my allowance with my expenses. Right now I'm paying for a book on installment, another book I'm about to pay for cause I ordered it, estimated commuting and food expenses, the friday movie... etc... I'm doomed! If i live with such a lifestyle at so young an age, imagine life when I'm old and have more things to worry about. Tsk, tsk... BUt then again, I don't buy books on a weekly basis anyway. More on a 'rarely' basis. <_<

I still don't have a new phone. Oh well, at least my phone now miraculuously receives calls again. I think it's because I dropped it again or something. -_-

And i just discovered around 300+ virus infeced files in our computer. All thanks to dear old Limewire, as cursed as Kazaa, if you ask me. -_- Good thing our dependable anti-virus repaired everything, and I deleted the rest. ^^

I'm required to join a bowling tournament. How about! I suck at bowling... T_T

And I'm currently working on a 9 cartolina size big stained glass project. Its nice. :D

And I have 2 pakains tomorrow, I don't even know what to attend. At least that's a cut on my expense list this week. X_x

My sister helped organize the University Anime Fair, and there were so many freebies and CHEAP STUFF that I kind of wish that i dropped by. But oh well, it was out of budget. Austerity...

have you ever noticed the phenomenon that at one time there's nothing at all to watch on tv, and then 30 minutes after, there are at least 2 shows simultaneously showing, and you both want to watch them? Isn't it annoying? X(

I'm ranting cause I'm downloading something online and am trying to do something so as not to waste too much time. Hehehe...

Besides, this will be my last entry for a long time again, well not really cause there's a vacation looming rather near, but you know what i mean. :D

Sorry about the typos and illogical flow of ideas, i'm kind of typing it as i go along.... Lalala~

Movie Review...
Do not read if you don't want spoilers or would rather make your judgements before exposing them to others'.
Forgive my amateur Film 12 advised and detail obsessed movie critiquing brain...

The P&P movie was... er... not as good as the book. Watching it after reading the book was like listening to a song in fast forward so that everything seems especially rushed or cramped with a few similar lines every now and then and some parts missing entirely so there's the possibility of not really understanding the movie well.The fast forward version is so unsettling, especially immediately after listening to the regular tempo. And the ending was so abrupt, Bianca and I were so shocked when the screen suddenly turned black and the director's name was suddenly flashed on screen. Talk about disappointing. AND, Mr. Darcy didn't look as elegant as he should have. He looked more... uh... pitiful. He looked sad all the time, instead of stern or serious in a way as to be called proud. Tsk, tsk... And the movie took on so many things at once, that it couldn't dwell on certain things as they should have been dwelled on. Bingley also had a ridiculous hairdo. -_- Georgiana was so OOC, but then again, so was the dad. And a lot of the lines that I liked in the book were sadly cut out. T_T Oh well... You guys will just have to read the book to feel my sentiments. But you don't have to, the movie, in its rushed and cropped kind of way, was actually pretty accurate to the plot of the story. No major changes like in The Count of Montecristo movie. But then again, Des and I agree that that was one example of a movie somewhat being slightly more likeable than the book. But then again, I've never read the book. I've just read the summary and a critique and a few chapters, and I'll have to read the book to really make certain. But with regards to the story, Des assures me that the movie was really superior.

BUt anyway, back to the point:

+from the point of view of someone who has read the book, the movie was ok, but not as effective as the book. But at least you get to understand everything that's going on, and can follow and relate to the story more. Also, the speedy dialogue was more easily absorbed.

+from the point of view of someone more interested in the movie, the movie was not really well made, viewing-wise. The movie employed mostly drab colors and equally uninteresting sights, which was disappointing since the setting was supposed to be beautiful. The shots or cinematograhy wasn't that nice, and it had a lot of room for improvement. Costumes were also dull, when it should have been much brigther, thanks to the parties and supposed elegance and glamor of the supposed setting. It wasn't something you can call pleasing to the eyes, or something you enjoy watching for the sights, which is usually a big deal for successul movies, like Legends of the Fall, or other movies set in the countryside. But since this aspect is not as important as the story, there is still a chance that you can enjoy the movie, as long as you don't dwell to much on the details. ^^;

+from the point of view of someone who tried to read the book but failed cause it was found boring, the movie was surprisingly interesting. The story was ok, and not being able to read the book wasn't regrettable cause at least no expectations were raised, and no disappointment could be felt where the more knowledgeable ones felt let down. And a lot of things came as a surprise. :D

For better enjoyment, I really suggest that the book be read, because they were a LOT of things that needed more attention that couldn't be given in the movie for want of more time. These little nuances, as my Film 12 teacher points, are essential parts of the movie. Plus you'll really appreciate it more if you do, I think. But if you're not fond of reading, don't read the book, you'll only worsen your confusion. Besides, it'll lessen your disappointment in the movie if you didn't know what you were missing. Like the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, or A Walk to Remember, or Harry Potter, etc. You just have to be ready to catch certain fast lines, and then leave the rest to your imagination, which is actually kind of fun too.

The best solution would probably be to read the book AFTER the movie, to get the best of all these advantages, but that's only if you like reading and can endure it despite the new, slower pace of eveything in comparison to the movie. Anyway, if things aren't clear enough after the movie, there's always the internet for summaries, or someone who's read the book who can explain certain illogical gaps in fictional time. Hehehe...

Happy viewing! :D

Good Romance
*warning: screechy fan-girl-ish kind of craziness up ahead*
*And won't happen anytime again soon, so let me be! XD*

I have just finished reading Pride and Prejudice, making it the **th book on my booklist this year. *gushes* It was really nice, worth all the time spent in often confusing discourse and ambiguous references to people. Sure, not all parts were equally interesting, but they were interspersed enough with nice parts, and by Volume III, things were pretty fast paced, or at least much more interesting. And the lead characters were really amusing, kind of cute even, especially when they argue. The book was able to get several laughs from me. *sigh* And Mr. Darcy says the most romantic things. Especially around the end.Hehehe... Bet you didn't expect me to say such a thing. (Note: this is told with respect to the book, not the movie. I don't even know if the big screen version will do the book sufficient justice.) Anyway, moving on... I must admit I'm not really fond of certain romance dialogue, cause often these lines are too cheesy or too affected, I just have to wince. (My friends are all too aware of this... I can already imagine them shaking their heads.) But for some strange reason, I really liked P&P anyway. And Mr. Darcy is so laconic, I'm amazed at how the author was able to work that out, and even make his lines super effective to the purpose of the book. ;) (But then again, maybe I was just too happy with the book. Oh well... If such is the case, at least I enjoyed it.)

This is actually the second time I've read the book, and now that I think about it, the other time I read it was around this time as well, 2nd year high school, November. Hmmm... galing. Anyway, i was able to discover a lot of things in this second reading, as is often the case with such things. Well, to sum it up, I'm really enjoyed the book. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that i bought the P&P DVD. I hope it'll be nice. Cause if not, well, it might affect the niceness of the book, although probably not. A book, if nice enough can survive such a thing, i guess. (I must admit that Harry Potter didn't exactly escape the slaughter of an ugly movie for me. But since it apparently suffered more good than bad for other people, then good for it. )

Hmm... I'm beginning to see that my writing is really easily affected by the things I read. My writing is SLIGHTLY reminiscent of Austen's writing style right now, which can't make it any easier for the people who are reading this entry to understand what I'm blabbering about. But at least I didn't get it to the full extent. And it'll pass, as soon as I get hold of a new book. Besides, I'm really trying to limit it, cause for one thing, I don't really talk like how she writes. Hehehe... Kawawa naman ang lahat, pati ako, kung ganon.

And I was able to get Ivan's CDs! Hehee... Salamat! Fruits Basket! Fruits Basket! Fruits Basket!

And to Cara: Waahh!! *hug* You don't reply when I e-mail you! T_T

And I heard a funny song from the Itchy Worms, Hehehe...

Blogging again!

Today is the 21st of November, a thankfully lax and lazy day in the middle of a very hectic month. I've been giving up presious hours of sleep for the past few days, and thankfully, I now find that I don't have to do anything immediately today. GLory! So here I am, lazily channel surfing, until I come across the music video of the theme of Honey and Clovers, for the first time! Aww... It brought back some pleasant memories. I miss that show. T_T And since I've never since that MTV before, the impact was pretty full force. I miss visiting Sig's house as well. And Vigile's house, and Stacy's house, and Tracy's house. T_T

Anyway, I want to blog about a LOT of things, unfortunately, I'm feeling pretty tired still. I'm just relieved to be able to take a break. ^^ (And even more relieved that my first pub project, the MGB is finished. I'm pretty happy with it. We were able to cram it and finish it and it turned out ok in the end. *relief*)

But anyway, since I have time, here are some of my current "blog-ables".

A few days ago, I lost the music CD i've been listening to for the past few days. It just disappeared one day. I was starting to suspect that one of my sisters may have hid it, cause they were so sick of listening to it, or something. u_u I realized that I don't easily get tired of music. I have a high tolerance for such kind of repetition it seems. Anyway, I found the CD yesterday, one of our househelps stuffed it in that slightly obscured crook in the shelf. At least I'm sure my sisters didn't try to get rid of it. ^^

And my friends were happily reading our handwriting several days ago, during our first (and so far only) kada lunch this sem. It was fun, especially when we were noting the loop sizes of our hand writing. ^^

i got a rose today. cause today is Rose day in UP diliman, care of the Upsilon Fraternity. The said frat was roaming the school, handing out free pink roses to every girl in sight. It was kind of interesting. ^^

I was supposed to go to the MC alumni homecoming last saturday, and a movie screening sponsored by RPT (free entrance for us). Unfortunately, plans didn't push through, cause of some ill-timed somethings.
And I have a really scary cw 10 class. Imagine, i have to write 2 paragraphs about the smells of my childhood, and another 2 for a complex taste I've tried. How do you describe such things? And in two-paragraphs at that??? @_@

Thanks to the Sea Games, I haven't had PE since the start of class, up until Dec 6, in fact. ^^ It's kind of a shame, slightly, but I admit I am kind of enjoying the free time, and slightly dreading how the PE will go.

In fact, speaking of that dread you experience before class, I was experiencing exactly that during the first sessions of almost all of my BA classes. Actually, I was having a slightly pleasant feeling, except I was acutely aware of a dark sense of foreboding underlying whatever pleasantness there was. It's probably due to the fact that things are getting much more serious now, I actually have 3 majors, for instance, and the grade schemes are getting tighter and higher and tougher. *sobs*

And you know what, I came across a really intense quarrel between a couple in McDo Katipunan. The girl was actually trying to hit the guy as violently as she could, and the guy tried to stop her by pinning her neck with his arm. It was shocking. The girl was also screaming at the guy, and ironically, the song that was playing in McDO (and you know the way McDo does their song playing) was something like this: "I just don't love you at all... something something... feeling like a fool cause I let you down, I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry... I just don't love you at all..." (Or something to that extent, you can't expect me to get the lyrics 100% accurate after all.)

And I got to watch that Anime that Rico was jokingly(?) recommending. Please Teacher is REALLY disturbing. I only watched 2 episodes, in the middle of the series, but I was totally blown away in horror. @_@ Poor little kids...

And I discovered a new ice cream flavor that's really good!!! <3 I think I have 3 or more favorite ice cream flavors already!

Wheeew... and my memory is getting really bad lately. I think it must be cause I lack sleep, there's just no other acceptable reason! I have to write everything down, even the blog topics, homework, meetings, etc. This is really bad! X(

WoW! I haven't blogged for a really long time! ^_^

More thoughts...

Tired
I've been so tired lately. The sem hasn't even really started, and already I can feel the weariness in my bones. So this is how it feels... I was practically napping at the BA 3rd floor and in the tricycle with vigile, then I feel asleep in Sig's floor while waiting for her, my bag for a pillow. Z_z

Questions
And I noticed that I talk in questions when I'm really really nervous or embarrassed. Especially when I'm asking favors from people I'm not really close to. X_x And I mean talk in questions! It seems everything I say comes out with a question mark at the end. I dunno how to explain it, uncertainty maybe? Or maye i was worried I was crossing some border that I shouldn't. Or something. @_@

Tea
One regular morning, i was gonna be dropped off to school when my parents decided to stop by a coffee place. There I had a nice hot cup of green tea (which I didn't expect to like) but turned out to be really good. I don't really drink tea, especially not the hot variety, but my mom wanted to share her pot, so I did. It even smelled good. Interesting... I remember thinking just a few days earlier how the English find so much satisfaction in a cup of tea. Well, I admit i still am not crazy over tea, but at least now I find it okay. :D

Daughters
My mom accidentally slammed the door hard on me as I was getting into the car and she out of it. My mom was really apologetic and my dad got slightly mad at her. I wonder how my parents would act if they had a son? Definitely less overprotective, and I doubt they'd be patronizing or unfair in the chauvinistic(?) sense. My cousins' family, for instance, a mix of 2 boys and a girl, gives greater preference and protection to the daughter, as well as a little more responsibility. It's kind of cute. ^^

Grades
I showed my parents my classcards for this sem. It was arranged with my favorites above, my hatest ones below. At first they were pleased with my grades and stuff, till they got to the bottom. Shame on the very cardboard cursed to hold these grades! Apparently, my two hatest subjects also hold my two hatest grades. My favorite was not the highest, in fact it was just a grade higher than my lowest. That leaves the highest marks immediately above the low ones. Bad, bad, bad combination! My parents must have been surprised by the big contrast. They weren't really low, as Vigile consoled, but it was low enough I guess... (Ivan said I talk about my grades a lot, I guess I do. ^_^)

Money
I'm all out. My allowance for the week is drained, so much so that I worry I won't even have enough COINS to get home. Oh well... I've been commuting lately, and it seems I will be doing so a LOT for the rest of the sem. Oh well...

Haggard
The term Vigile has recently adopted. Probably because I lack rest, but my brains seem all over the place lately. Scattered, I mean. ^^ I forgot my classcard in the morning (which was a shame cause the RVC actually made an allowance to let me into the advising room before lunchbreak), then I forgot my pen during the advising, so I couldn't write my form 5 and I had to step out (-__-), then I left my Form 5a in the BA council table, so I couldn't get my library clearance. Stupid. Tsk, tsk...

Books
I'm getting REALLY REALLY book-crazy lately. I actually spent more than half my allowance on a book in the AS walk, Good Omens. That's the first one I bought for myself in that stall. And it was kind of expensive, despite the discount. So here now is the reason behind my abrupt (and hopefully short-lived) bankruptcy. I hope its a good book. Recently, I've also been visiting National a lot too. Maybe a little too much for my pocket to handle. I'm eyeing another book, the last copy of something, and its at least a little cheaper than the regular. But since I can't afford it, I have to wait a little while. *hopes it's still there in the shelves of the bookstore*

Schedule
As hard as we tried to coordinate, Vigile, Sig and I did not manage to get a single class together. But I can't complain. They probably have a lot of other things in mind. Sad though. This sem holds my last GE and I have no free electives, so after this, we really won't be seeing much of each other. Plus, our free times don't even match. Perhaps our luck and imeccable skill at timing has run out. Or at least, is running low? Afterall, I did get everything on CRS, though I didn't get the schedules I wanted. >_< But I can't complain. I didn't have to suffer hell with the endless lines of people and hours of waiting for these subjects. I just hope they're fine. PAyment also went well, less than 15 minutes, which was fast, if you ask me. But i can't help but feel a little annoyed...

On the Origin of Man
It's cool cause National Geographic featured this topic under a slightly different light than the usual. They did it in biblical terms with a mix of science, other than the usual science terms, mixed with a little religion or sometimes even none at all. Here's how it goes: God created man, and he did in Africa (Adam is Black). BUT, he created several Adams, holder of the XY chromosome, and it just so happened that one particular "Adam" developed to what we are. Eve was some chromosome variation, XX, giving way to the metaphor, "From the rib of Adam". Adam and Eve reproduced and mutliplied, and eventually their offspring spread out throughout the globe, as the bible says Cain and the other sons and daughters did, and it is the difference in climate that caused the differences in skin color. Pale skin for cold climate because this is less prone to frostbite, tan skin in tropical climates (or darker) because this is more resistant to sunburns. Other variations such as body structure etc are also explained by the climate of an area.

Hehehe... So Adam is Black huh? Apparently there is a particular race of black-skinned people (specifically in the area the Human race is said to originate - Interesting ne?) who have beautiful features.... And so on and so forth. ^^ New insights and theories are sometimes refreshing huh?

Voices
I've always noticed something weird about my voice. I can't seem to place it as either an alto or a soprano. <_< Sometimes, when I'm serious or tired or something, my voice comes out in a sort of low pitch, while at other times, like when i'm happy or excited or something, it comes out kind of high pitched. 0_0 And at times, it gets so high I think I would classify it as shrill. X( But most of the time, I think my speaking voice sort of lies on the border, and classifying it through song is just as futile. I can't really put much strength into it when singing (for some weird reason), and it also depends on the song. And at that, my singing voice isn't exactly notable anyway. But moving on, my voice is rather unplacable. Its just what it is when I hear it, my voice, and sure that gives me answers. And it also seems really expressive, apparently. 'o'~ But it's not really important anyway. I just noticed it one day. ^^

Hiding
Vigile says I'm pretty good at hiding my emotions, particularly the negative ones, but I think that fact is starting to get me into trouble. People begin reading into me, and sometimes, inexistent emotions are read. 0_0 For instance, they thought I disliked Dwelly the most. On the contrary, I have the least problems with him, but I guess having Vigile around when I'm with Dwelly causes me to treat him like I treat Vigile when I'm slightly feeling distant. Or so they say... I dunno. Sorry S if I was mean. Believe me that I seriously did not realize or intend to be like that.

A Little Problem
I guess I've found myself (and a some of my friends) amidst a little quandary. (Forgive the word usage, I picked it up from Series of Unfortunate Events. As childish as it seems, I actually got to learn a few new words there. Sabriel too if I had the patience.) I dunno how we'll fare at this point, or how we'll even go about it, but I hope it works out fine. I can't really imagine how, but I sincerely hope it will. For everyone.

Procrastinating
It's amazing... the things i do when I'm stressed and in the middle of something. Once, while studying for an acctg exam, I had an urge (and did act upon this urge) to make a small painting. the result wasn't spectacular or even worth describing, but it was still an interesting choice of activity. Another time, I went and rummaged through all my belongings to find a certain bracelet? (Somehow it's at times like these that I always notice that something is missing, and though I don't need it at the moment, I can't seem to rest without finding it). Tonight, I suddenly had this urge to look up some book passage, and I had to go look for the book under endless rows of shelves. And it took me a long time too, it always does, and I even found a lot of interesting books holed up in the back recesses of our library. Like Old Man in the Sea (upon vigile's recommendation), and other equally nice or interesting or attention-worthy books. So I ended up taking down the 12 or so books and replacing them at the back with other books so it'll all still fit, and then transferring them in front for easy access. --__-- Somehow, I seem to get the urge to do the longest, most unlikely task at that moment. Weird. Like for the painting thing, I had to go find the paint. 0_0 So it wasn't too accessible for the idea to just pop into my head and make me feel like doing it, like a book lying around that you casually pick up. It's pretty much random, and always time-consuming, but i usually end up doing it anyway. -_- For less stressful tasks, I usually end up just cleaning my things. Now that's pretty usual. ^^

School
School starts tomorrow. Officially. And sadly, not even stacy's schedule seems to fit perfectly into ours. I guess the extra luck we had last sem is making up for it with a vengeance. Also, I'm deciding whether to reaff in Optics or not. I'm pretty swamped, but if I don't, I'll have to in my third year, and who knows what kind of hell that'll be. X_x But for sure, I don't think I'll be adding another Org to my happy list this sem. It'll do me good, I bet. And I'll go back to training too, hopefully.

Typos
Again, I've noticed a lot. I have to admit, I often have to glance at the keyboard while typing, and although my typing speed has picked up, apparently my accurancy hasn't. I get a lot of letters interchanged or even missed altogether. Sorry about that. Besides, I'm especially tired now, and my fingers kind of hurt. Sorry... ^^

little things...

before anything... see these pics: D

The trio!
The KAda!

Hehehe... the kada one is a little weird, if you'll care to notice why. Its cause it wouldn't fit. ^^

Anyway, I was thinking just now how everything DOES seem to fit in some greater plan, so that everything works out some way or another... For each bad thing there's always a little consolation. Or something to that extent. For instance, I was assigned a project for an org, and it's WAY delayed. But then, at least I got most of my subjects in CRS and will be having extra time to worry on this project. So even if its terrible that we're delayed, it all fits that I can still work on it (and possibly finish it) within next week. *sigh* call it mega cramming, but at least there's an at least. It's at times like these (although things aren't exactly bright and working out well) that (as much as Sig may cringe) I think God really does love me. ^_^ As cheesy as that sounds. Hehehe...

Obviously, it's NOT gonna be easy sailing for the next week, but its better than not being able to sail at all right? Or sailing through a scylla and whirlpool, with so little time and leeway. *gReek mode* Hehe...

And lastly, I'm really starting to notice that I have a really soft spot for apps. *sigh* I'm perhaps a little too nice to them. I guess going through a traumatic app experience (and it being the first, no less!) has really psychologically affected my app sympathy levels. Oh well... there are still others that'll make up for that anyway, so I guess it's not so bad. ^^

Random Thoughts

-Time seems to be moving exceptionally fast this sembreak. Sad... I'll begin school again soon. T_T

-Finishing a good book is really quite sad, especially if it's REALLY good. And then it becomes even harder for the attached reader when s/he realizes that s/he can't start another book immediately, simply because the previous book has made him/her too attached to a certain sort of story, plot or whatever, unless it's a book of the exact same type. Tragic. But fortunately, some people seem totally free of the feeling...

-Most of the break is gone and I haven't done a single task from my three item "Must Do - Extremely Important" list. Tsk, tsk...

-My desire to purchase an Mp3 player has started to wane, particularly after I realized that I can't afford it, and that I have better things to save up for in this financially trying times. I eventually grew detached from the idea. And now it seems so distant, I don't really consider it much. Which is fine by me, in truth. Spending such a large sum on a small gadget isn't exactly something I would like to wait around for.

-Although I've become a little less of a miser. Too much econ lessons boring into your head the fact that your money looses value every day can do that to you. o_o Besides, I apparently can't resist food much. I happen to think highly of the opinion that it's better to spend my money than feel hungry and starve, because my money can probably bring me no greater help or satisfaction than that. A future pair of earrings, for instance, will probably not help me more than a nice much needed meal, right? ^^

-Vigile and Rico ask peircing hot seat questions. Good thing they aim at each other and not at me. :p

-I learned a very interesting fact about eyebags. Oversleeping can cause them, and someone sleeping for 3 hours per day as long as it's at regular timeslots can escape that dark-eyed fate. Other geeky stuff too, all from Tracy. :D Cool ne?

-I was thinking, I think it's very very hard to find a good-looking guy without some pretty substantial flaw. Particularly (probably) because they think their being good-looking gives them license to be mayabang or something. But I don't know. Besides, less good-looking guys tend to be nicer, it seems. Hmm... But then again, I wouldn't really know if there's truth in that. *shrug* Don't take my word for it. It was just some random thought, afterall. :P

-Suiko fanfics are really nice... ^_^-

-Having RO as a rival activity to studying might be better than obsessive reading, because at least it won't be as easy to access and you have less chances of sitting down to study only to find yourself reading a pocket book instead. You'd have to go through the long process of opening your PC, and that'll give your conscience time to run around. But I'll stick to reading anyway, just as Tracy will prolly stick to Ro.

-keeping busy with schoolwork has had various effects on me. One of them is a subtle detachment to our PS and rpgs. Or maybe it's simply because I've finished my two Suikodens and don't really have time to start a new RPG. It's sad, cause I really love those video games.

-Also, it's been some time since I've read fanfics or something like that. I'm also currently not following any tv show, despite the fact that the ban on our TV during weekdays has been lifted. Given the two new anime channels we have, that's quite big.

-It's saddening to realize that school and other responsibilities can rob someone of their interests and other such things. X(

-I have a tendency to be hyper sometimes. I wonder if it gets annoying to people after a while. Not that i can help it.

-I burned my files into a Cd today. It took me hours. Imagine. 0_0

-I start writing a lot of stories I never end. Tsk, tsk...

-the firefox logo is cute. I didn't get it at first cause I didn't look at it closely, but now I have. *bangag*

So much for staying at home and resting... ^^

Finally, I had the wire of my lower braces attached, and despite all odds, for some weird reason, my teeth don't hurt that much. I only had the wire on on Saturday morning, and by Sunday lunchtime my parents were feeding us solid and even crunchy food without much incident. It did kind of hurt a little, but not enough to keep us away from REALLY good food. We took our two grandmothers out and we hadn't eaten out since I dunno when. Anyway, the food was really good, despite the slow pace we had to adapt, and we ended with a nice coffee drink in Seattle's.

(Did you know that apparently, the best coffee is served in UCC while Starbucks 'apparently' has the worst tasting house blend? -source: some really thorough coffee drinker)

ignore my weirdness sometimes... Anyway, walking where we were eating on that not so busy location with Christmas music conveniently playing in the background made me realize, this was a really nice sembreak. Sure, I barely get sleep, but after that hellish sem, it really is pretty nice. I got to finish Fruit's Basket, I got hold of some books I really wanted, we got to visit Merville, I get to watch movies again, I now have the leisure to go curl up and laze around whenever I want, even enjoy an org outing, etc, etc. (I dunno, but the Christmas music background REALLY REALLY made me chipper) It was really nice. Plus for some weird reason I came to the comforting conclusion that we're incredidbly lucky to be who we are and where we are right now (don't remind me I said this during the acad year, please! I just might kill you in a murderous flurry of psychotic gc-ness) and despite certain freaky events during that day, overall it was (again) pleasant. ^^ It was wierd, but I think the place triggered a real happy moment for me. Or more accurately, a happy realization? end

About freakky stuff... have you ever experience something really bad happening to you and you realize that it is happening but react too late to stop it anyway? And for a split second time slows and you know you have to move but can't anyway? I had 2 such strange experiences during that lunch I mentioned 2 paragraphs above. The first, I knocked down my glass of water and spilled it all over my mom. I dunno why, it was unintentional, but I saw it happening and was just too shocked to respond I guess. The second was even worse, I almost had a slight minor heartattack, I was supposed to help my grandma down the stairs, and for some weird reason, she let go of me cause she'd rather go down along the railing-thingy, and she almost fell. 0_+ My dad was so furious at me and I almost seriously had a heart failure. Gahh... Good thing nothing happened. I was so shocked, good thing there was a waiter hanging around. X_x

And I spent the last two days and night in the house of my cousins. yeah, so much for resting at home. We were awake till 2 am cause I was trying to show them the house thingy that Sig showed us but it didn't want to load for some reason or another. Oh well... And we played board and card games as well. I rule at scrabble!! Yeah!!! But unfortunately, I'll settle for a jack in the other games. ^^

But I do get sleep. I really do! When I'm at home, I spend most of the day asleep, so much so that my sisters actually scolded me that I do nothing but sleep. 0____o They couldn't understand how I could stay asleep for so long, wake up for a while then sleep all over again. *shrug* What can I say, I REALLY REALLY love to sleep. Some people *cough*like Aida and vigile*cough* may not understand it, but hey! I'm a growing kid! ;) *cough*

Vigile's read smoke and mirrors! I must read it too! XD

Though the book I'm currently reading is getting interesting too... I really DO intend to get myself a library when I have my own house in the future. Hehee...

And though you may not believe it, child-ish ole me went with France and my sisters to go trick or treating yesterday. Bumped into some MC people, and other people older than me (hehehe...) so I don't think it's so bad. We had to walk a lot of blocks, but in the end, we consumed enough treats to gain back all the weight we lost. ^^ And there was also a ton of reminiscing done that time. *sigh* :)

And it's dwelly's bday? right? hehe... Happy birthday mr. madaya sa monopoly! XD

Wah... my sembreak ends soon... and I'll get to enjoy advent children once again tomorrow in vigile's pretty home with old(?)friends! (And again, I think to myself, so much for resting at home... -_-)
