Three weeks ago was my preliminary exams at UST. And, as average students usually say, it’s hard.

But these exams’ results will definitely tell me what to do for the next 1 and a half months before the finals examination. If I did good, well, I just have to keep it up. If I kinda strayed, well, I just have to try mightily better day by day, or else I’m screwed worse than a 10-inch screw.


I just now watched “Ouran High School Host Club”, and it was… um…

… really GOOOOOODDDDD *big sigh* Ahhh, very refeshing to watch. Nye~he.

I bought it at Quiapo for quite a bargain. 100 pesos for 3 DVDs of 20 episodes. If I downloaded these gems from forums like bww2 and some torrents I saw at TokyoTosho, it would take me some time and frustration of hangtime. In 3 minutes, I had 20 episodes in my hands for 100 pesos. I have a friend named “Kate” at 3CSB who also has the hots for this particular item. Fortunately, she’s down with the sickness *which is a rock song, mind you* and there’s only one good copy of it. No competition, like shooting a free throw.

I bet myself she’s gonna rush at the anime shop at Quiapo at Tuesday, and there’s a 70-30 chance she won’t see any *the vendor noticed my VEEERRRYYY wide grin when I saw it in one of his wares, and he put the remaining copies of Ouran in the “NEW” section, which would be the first box customers would dig in.

Speaking of the anime, well, I was touched. Since my character-like-me there would be Ootori Kyouya, the megane guy.

Kyouya’s a silent prankster, keen, slithery, *of course, I also have eyeglasses*, and most of all, blood type AB. I hate to admit this, but I think the thing about AB bloodtypes are true. Don’t wake me up when I am deprived of sleep. My mom knows that, my dad knows that, only my two sisters are the ones oblivious to my problem. But the downside is that I have some issues regarding social merits, which Kyouya raised in episode 17. I think I’m worse than him when I regard people based on merit.

Friends, yeah, I am (to a certain extent) a sociable guy. I don’t hide anything because I know I’m not ashamed to be with these people, because they’re friends. Virtual friends, well, that’s why I bloghop and blog as often as I can, which is, sadly, literally WHEN I CAN. But with plain acquaintances and others which I do not know, I do not know but I’m indifferent. When they say hi I just give a casual wave and don’t give a damn. I tried to be like Jeff once (who was once my classmate, and the most sociable guy in class) but I felt that I was trying to be something I’m not, so then and there I stopped. I just kept my friends and added only when I feel like it. But so far, if I’m able to change myself for the better, I’m already ahead and doing it. XD

*back to regular programming*

Haruhi was reallly cute there. The hair was like a male, but I think the animators made it a point that the facial features would be that of an “otoko” *female*. I liked the thing at Episode I where the six bulbs lighted when a person *or persons* knew who Haruhi really is. Haruhi speaks like a guy, talks like a guy, expresses some emotions like a guy, and occasionaly uses “ore” *an ‘I’ equivalent for men*, which would add to the fun of the whole anime concept. Whee~hee.

I’ll download the rest of the series if I see a fast connection somewhere over the Internetherworld. But so far, the anime is my sure-fire current favorite.


The most noticing song I had listened to this past 2 weeks was Creature Creature’s “Paradise”. I downloaded it from Gail’s Stereophonic site, and I kinda was weirded out at one fact: Morrie’s pronunciation of the word “Paradise”. XD

I dunno if he’s from the Kansai region or it’s just a by-product gimmick for attention. He pronounced the word as “para-daish”. The -sh ending was quite the ear-tuner.

I’m still finding the 3-single release by this group. *edit: NOW FOUND… and still tuning in*


Oh, I forgot. I just redesigned my mp3 page. So if you see it and you see something that can still be improved on, please tell me so.

4shared kinda freaked me out again last week, when I checked out my statistical download rate. I dunno if there are some Dlinkers out thee, but hey, they’re helping me out a bit. They download, they keep my accounts alive.

Sometimes blessings come from unexpected sources. hehe.


My second sister is having her exams this week in UST Pharmacy. Hehe. But I can see she studies more than me, and I hope her the best in her *endeavours*. Oh, if some other USTers would find her, she’s in 1CPH.

And still, I would not rescind some items about her:
1. She’s a genuine narcissistic egotistical bitch.
2. Her head hair’s already dead from the numerous times she ironed it. It’s flaky and thin.
3. She double-crosses and cheats herself, but she doesn’t want to be double-crossed and cheated herself.


Last Sunday was the first time I had gone to church for about 2 and a half months. I dunno if it was plain laziness or it was just for the particular reason that the church I attends is a complete deadwood.

First, the parish priest allows his dogs to wander inside the church eve if he’s conducting mass. Secondly, the parish priest allowed the “edition” of the Our Father hymn. I pertain to the “hand action” done while singing it. It’s plain stupid to do. If I’m given a viable option or two, I’ll save 20 pesos every Saturday just to commute to a better church like St.Peter every Sunday. Even if I go alone.

But still, I would not change my religion. For better or for worse, I’m staying a Catholic.


Last week was the UST-ICS Department “ICS week”. Heesh.

Frankly, I’m not the type of person who attends these things. The only activity of theirs I attended so far was the “First Friday Mass”. And to think it’s a religious activity, I can’t refuse attendance for the fact the professor kindly emptied his class just to attend the mass, and I consider it an indebtedness in my part, so I attend.

The other activities, like the Mr&Ms ICON, Yoga Class *really, we had this!*, Seminars, and the like, I didn’t even do anything about it.

But, on a reflection (induced by Utada Hikaru’s “Hikari“), I think I should have involved myself in it at least a bit. Like I shoulda have attended some activities. But the organizers set up some impossible schedules for their activities. Either these scenarios wold happen: 1) I would get at home by 9.00PM, which is a bad thing to happen, and 2) I skip classes to attend an activity or two, which would be really worse. I think the teachers kinda had a hand in this. It’s a conspiracy, ne? T_T

But, neway, at least I could buckle down on my studies. My OS report on paging is finished, I finished my required program in ADA, I could find time to prioritize what I could lose if I attend those activities.

*hah* And that is my sole consolation for being a lonely sad Furuba-reading activity-ditching urban dumbass like me. XD


OK, so I found this one on a sidenote in a Reader’s Digest issue. Hehe. Quite funny.

MARKETING FOR BEGINNERS

1. You see a beautiful girl at a party. You come up to her and say “Hi, I’m a rich man. Marry me”. That’s MARKETING.
2. You see a beautiful girl at a party. You go home and phone her and say “Hi, I’m a rich man. Marry me”. That’s TELEMARKETING.
3. You see a beautiful girl at a party. She comes up to you and says “You are very rich”. That’s BRAND RECOGNITION.
4. You see a beautiful girl at a party. You come up to her and say “Hi, I’m a rich man. Marry me”. She slaps you in the face. That’s CUSTOMER FEEDBACK.

~ROTFL 2x


It kinda sucks how a teacher uses too much cliches, ne? I had this “jurassic” teacher using a LOT of punny but stuipidly blunt liners. She’s currently my teacher, but for her sake I won’t say her name and subject.

Our class kinda gets ruffled by her when she blows into town.

1. This is going to be a veeery BLOODY subject.
2. Speak louder. Don’t sound like a cockroach!
3. Text me if your brains are ready.
4. Leave your balls alone!
5. That’s bullshit.
6. “Anong ginawa ng mundo sa ‘yo at ganyan kalungkot ang mukha mo?” (What did the world do to you to have you wear that sad face?)
7. Are you gay?
8. (points to some people) You’re a loser, you’re a loser, you’re a loser.

She’s friggin’ worse than Donald Trump in the boardroom. Seems like reality is harsher.


Ok, that’s ciao for now. ~hehe. I’ll see ya when I have spare time. XD
