It’s really annoying since I most of the time grab my phone when it rings and check instantly. Then I’d see that it’s just spam and not from a friend or relative. It’s not very important. I don’t know, for me my number is really personal. I don’t like wasting time talking to people I don’t know on my phone. I’ve encountered a lot recently and it’s getting annoying.

Others would even call you or try to get your attention in their messages. Not just in Globe, I’ve used Smart and Sun as well.

Anyway, I’ll be updating this post every now and then. I’d want to keep track the messages I’ve received, and somehow maybe the Networks will do something about these annoying incidents.

It’s a bit sad that people waste their money and cellphone load to annoy a lot of people. I guess they just send their messages to random postpaid numbers LOL ANNOYING!

To our CEO, Mr. Reuel Virtucio, our COO, Mr. Eduardo Arevalo, our principal, Mr. Daniel O. Castillo, our beloved teachers, staff and administrators, our caring parents, and fellow batchmates, good evening!

It has been 4-Wisdom that was our home and shelter for almost 10 months. First, we were 23 in class, but at the end, we ended up to be 20. Each one treats the other as a brother or sister. Calling each other “sis” or “bro”. Helping each other whenever needed, is already a virtue to us.

But it all started last June 2004. It was our first day of classes as 4th year students. We started getting to know our classmates well. And before we know it, we were all hanging out together.

We all learned how to be strong through ups and downs. But although our class is just half the population of the whole 4th year batch, we still find time to interact with the other class, 4-Counsel.

During all those times, everone had a great experience. We did our best to create a wonderful classroom, full of laughs and surprises.

The class was divided into 5 groups. And each is given a task to decorate a certain area of the room. As I remembered, everyone was having fun and decorating was a breeze. And the outcome became great.

The corner on the board which has a quote, “knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers”, the outside appearance of the classroom which has the quote, “one word is enough for a wise man”, the corner at the window, full of inspiring quotations by famous people, the corner at the back that has different trivia’s, and the one-of-a-kind information galore made just like the homepage of friendster.com with all our pieces of informations.

Every month, we do our best to create a beautiful virtue corner. Everyone takes part and does their work. Fortunately, we won for the first virtue corner, and was happy about it. This virtue of the month made us feel that every effort we do is very visible. I don’t know how many virtue corners we have won, but we were all having fun doing them each time.

The Lego Mindtorm was a big project for IT. There was a robotics team, contruction team, and the presentation team. We all really worked hard for the outcome of the project. And even the name of our robot was very eye-catching, LiL’buknoy 22468. And we spent almost all our time for completing it. And during the final presentation and awarding, we were awarded first place for the robot that delivers a so-called nuclear bomb to a warehouse.

Also, during that said date, we performed our techno dance. We did a touch of techno and hiphop combined. We chose Freestyler and React to be our music. Unfortunately, we didn’t win. But we were all thankful, we were given a chance to perform our best, and we are happy.

Late September, we had our retreat at Franciscan Missionaries of Mary in Tagaytay City. We were with the other class. We all shared thoughts and felt we were important. We all felt we were becoming very close to the batch.

Christmas Party came. We were all in pajamas. We came up with our presentation. We made a skit about a man who was haunted in his dream by the ghost of Christmas. It was a very funny and meaningful play.

After the Christmas break, our loving adviser gave birth to her first daughter. The whole Wisdom class was happy and wishes the baby good health.

The family day came and also our Junior-Senior Promenade came. But all those memories are not complete if you’ll not remember everyone in class. Because everyone in 4-Wisdom is unique and has his own contribution.

John Ray, better known as JR. Uses his charming smile to his advantage. The best guitar player in the classroom. And likes to play old school rock music. Also, he is very obedient when ordered by a team leader, and does his job well.

Aldrin, the big guy at the back. A great drummer, and very knowledgeable about computers. He was our robotics team leader. A very outstanding and friendly guy – one of a kind.

Aaron Blanco, has the same name as Aaron Lacson. So to lessen the confusion, I call him by his second name, Vien. He is a very kind and quiet person. Likes to cover his mouth with his hanky. And like playing his guitar.

Aaron Lacson, better known as Grey. I couldn’t forget the look on his face when he got his school ID. Because he looked like a terrorist there. He drives his blue car and dances with hiphop beats. Also, he likes to play the guitar, and mostly, he plays “Kiss Me”.

Mari, wild boy of Jet. Likes to goof around the classroom and a very opinionated person. He looks very much like Miggy, of course they’re twins. He loves Thea so much. And he always asks Justin if he is a friend of his. And of course, Mari is the Prom King.

Jet, wild boy of Mari. Has a very unique taste in music. A very tall guy who has a flexible body and can dance the “Spaghetti” with Maru. And on his 8R-graduation picture, Mrs. Suarez had had a comment that he looks like Shaggy, Scooby-Doo’s best Friend. And who would forget his collection of Chucks?

Maru, wil best boy of Mari. A very cool guy and likes playing basketball. Always puts on a blue jacket whenever he is cold. We were all very sad when he was gone, but now we’re happy because we’re all graduating together.

Amadeus, likes to be called Am. Likes to play the guitar. I think it is his pastime. And he has funny moves but still in nice choreography, and exaggerated them.

Justin, the student with a liquid eraser. Very quiet, but now talked to us and is very friendly. Likes to copy notes and likes to walk at the lobby during recess and lunch. He is a very sport guy.

Paolo Santos, a.k.a. Harry Potter. He likes to play the bass guitar and his favorite band is Nirvana. He is not Paolo Santos the singer, but he is Paolo Santos our beloved classmate.

Nolan, a very talented bass guitarist. Very close to everyone. And who would forget his cute jogging pants he wore on PE class? But no offense meant pal.

Katrina, that’s me. They say I have the skill in math. Member of the dance troupe with Chiara, Gloria, and Elaine. I like to laugh and bring smiles to other people’s faces. And who would forget my dive at the volleyball court during the intrams? It hurts but it’s okay.

Diane, the tall and stylish girl. Very friendly and looks like a ramp model. Likes to play volleyball and likes to be with Apol.

Chiara, the “pengyo” of Gloria. A very flexible dancer and singer. Very talented and cute. She likes KPop and has a collection of different songs.

Elaine, the tall girl that has a kind heart. Very consistent and passionate. Always with Miggy and likes to laugh a lot. A very opinionated person. And don’t forget, she is our Prom Queen.

Apol, a cute girl. Laughs with everyone and best buds with Diane. She is very adorable and loving. One thing I’ll really miss about her is her smile.

Joshima, the girl who likes to play the guitar with Amadeus. I wouldn’t forget her expression, “ayoko nga! O sige…” And she uses her charm. She won as the face of the night during the JS Prom.

Heidi, the student council president. She is very lovely and likes to be around her friends. I call her “kawaii” because she is really cute. And that’s the truth.

Luanne, our loving classmate. She is close with everyone and has a sweet smile on her face all the time. She’s very lovely and very irresistible.

Gloria, the very smart and intelligent girl. Many call her mommy because she’s the tallest. And also, she has a very flexible dancing body, a very funny and impressive girl. She sees a situation in a different point of view and considers everyone as a friend.

Well, that’s about the Wisdom class. But  no matter what we are or what we’re going to do, the fact still remains that we are 4-Wisdom.

After this graduation, we will all have our own separate lives. Some may go to La Salle, Ateneo, UP, UST, San Beda, or other universities. But wherever each one will be, these memories will still remain to everyone. No matter what course we may take, let us all keep in touch.

Always remember that our class, 4-Wisdom will always be together. Maybe not in distance, but we are all together with our hearts. I love you guys!

1. whatever you do, don’t just show up at their house…they run around in their underwear just like we do.

2. don’t cheat on them. it may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. trust me, they will find out and you will be mud.

3. beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. any of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn’t even wait for the damn hat.

4. never miss an opportunity to tell them they’re beautiful.

5. don’t refuse to kiss in front of your friends. if they laugh at you, it’s because they’re jealous.

6. if they slap you hard, you deserved it.

7. don’t be afraid to touch them if you want to. if they’re going out with you in the first place, it’s because they like being in your arms.

8. if you don’t sleep with them, do not tell your friends that you did.
8.5 if you do sleep with them, don’t tell your friends that you did.

9. you can be dirty minded in private, really…most of them are not offended by it…

10. not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.

11. most of them don’t mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you’re a pussy..do you honestly need all your money that much? be a man, pay all the time!

12. every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts, and a really pretty ring. even if it’s not a serious relationship.

13. make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. if you’re dropping her off, walk her to the door. if you aren’t dropping her off, call to be sure she’s home safely.

14. if a guy is bothering her, it is your right to beat the shit out of him.

15. if you’re talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.

16. never, ever slap her, even if it’s just in a joking way. even if she swats you first, and says, “oh, you’re so dumb” or something, never make any gestures back.

17. go to a chick flick once in a while. she doesn’t care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.

18. you’re dead meat if you can’t get along with their pets, parents, and best friends. be prince charming to their friends, mr. polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.

19. don’t flirt with their moms…that’s just freaky.

20. don’t be freaked out by pms. it’s not gross, and it really does make them feel like shit, so be understanding.

21. if you don’t like the way they drive, you do it.

22. if you’re officially dating, and you’re introducing her to your friends, you’d better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend.

23. don’t stress where you go for every date. they really only want to be with you.

24. if they complain that something hurts, rub it for them without being asked.

25. girls are fragile. even if you’re play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.

26. memorize their god damn birthdays. you forget her birthday and you’re basically screwed for life.

27. don’t marinade the cologne, but smell good.

28. don’t give her something stupid for her birthday or christmas or valentine’s day. it doesn’t have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful.

29. if you think the relationship isn’t going to last, don’t wait to find out. it will only hurt you more if you draw it out.

30. after you’ve been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. when you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.

One of the dilemma’s that Archers/Hunters/Snipers (or any other low STR characters) is the weight limit. This limits the number of arrows you can carry. Thus, this will be helpful if you “quiver” your arrows.

Let’s say you don’t use quivers.

If you bring 500 arrows, the weight you’ll be carrying are as follows:
50 = 500 x 0.1 (lowest weight of an arrow);
100 = 500 x 0.2;
150 = 500 x 0.3 (highest weight of an arrow);

Quivers only weighs 25 each. YES! 25/quiver. WORTH IT!

Inventor Jaax
You can find him inside the Weapons Shop in Payon. Talk to him.
Exchange 500 arrows to 1 quiver, and pay 500z. Worth it? YES!

Fig. 1: Summary of the arrows that you can place in a quiver.

There are also arrows that you can’t place in a quiver.

AFAIK, Inventor Jaax is the only one who can make quivers for you. Although if there’s a possible way to place the other arrows in a quiver, please do send me a reply here. :) Well, there are just 10 kinds of arrows that I don’t know how to place on a quiver, yet.

Have a HIGURASHI Christmas everynyan~! :D
From: Keiichi and Rena

That was the statement I sent Pao thru IM when I woke up this morning.
My mind understood me, and wanted me to just skip this whole season.

When I woke up, I actually thought it was already January, and not to mention, a Tuesday. January 17 is the start of our new school term and on it’s next day, a Tuesday, I’ve got double 3-hour periods. I rushed myself out of bed when I saw my wallclock as it said a few minutes pass 7. Then I realized, after 5minutes of staring out at thin space, it wasn’t really January and it was still December, and Christmas isn’t over yet.

GAWD! I hate Christmas and New Year… seriously! ._.

It was fun fun FUN! I’m just working and having so much fun. Like, working with console specialists are cool coz’ you get to play if you’re idle and got nothing to do. I’m a gamer, so I need to play. And if I was any richer, my room right now would be filled will so many game consoles.

I was most of the time, doing card tricks and flourishes at work. Everybody talked about me, they know me. It was something new for them. Regardless, I was a very loved kid last year. I gained so much new friends and I was HAPPIER regardless of all the drama that happened which I don’t remember now. :P

I was a TechSupport agent for a game console so it was so much fun. Yep, that’s the only thing I like about December-January… WORK!

You can ask me if I ever get bored with this kind of job. Well, I’d say no. :P I love it! I love working graveyard. A lot of people might call it unhealthy, but for me it isn’t. I’m an extreme night owl. As some may say, a night person. I was surfing the internet and found some articles from wikipedia the other night.

DSPS. Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome.
Most commonly known as: Social jetlag.

So there, December madness is kicking in this time. Just like from 2 years ago when I didn’t go for a job. I couldn’t get the job this year again since (1) I’m currently working as a parttime Online English Teacher and I can’t take another load on my shoulder, else I might die from fatigue. LOL And (2) the game console department is now gone. The HR personnel kept on nagging me to go to the office and get an interview, but I just couldn’t get my feet to go to the office. I never did liked any other account coz’ in my opinion, other departments may just make me more stressed.

Personally, I’ve been teaching since March 2010 already. Even though I like it since I don’t spend too much time fixing myself and travelling, I kinda miss being in an office. I dunno. I’ve always thought that working from the office makes me feel more focused and alive. Not to mention, stylish. :P

HAPPINESS.
What is happiness?

If you ask me, I really have no idea what is happiness. That’s why I kept on asking people about it. Even though I don’t reply, I just post it every now and then. I really don’t know. I’ve changed a lot, I think. Looking through my pictures, I can always see that my smile is often deteriorating. My smiles are now looking less real. Well, such cases.

I’ve spent my Christmas and New Year last year with my team. It’s very good. :) I had a lot of fun!

Look at that! That’s exactly 12mn of New Year. Koney and I slipped out of the office to join Daniel. When I say slipped out, I meant we went on our 15minute break. LOL Yea, Daniel here is one of our TeamLeads/TeamManager. That was at the back of the office.

Well hello there~ It was crazy! Fireworks in the office. :P But hell, it was New Year. So at least give us a break. Look at that smile! Aren’t I so happy in the office? Nope, that wasn’t sarcastic coz’ I really am happier that time.

We were scolded by the security personnel of the building after. It was okay, it’s fun anyway. haha!

I couldn’t say that this year is not good. But I really think it’s better for me to be working at night. I mean, focus. I’m not thinking about anything when I’m focused with my work. That isn’t a parttime job so I spend 9hours a day in the office, 4hours travel time back and forth, and another 2hours for preparing myself. It’s very time-consuming, but I like it!

December madness.
Why is this season so depressing?

Ippen Shindemiru?

I have been hiding for 10 years. All these burden I got are lifted, even if it wasn’t everything. It’s very good that I had a chance to let it all out. It’s amazing, I must say! It was like everything went flashing in my mind, everything. I cried until I was good. It really is very nice that there’s someone that saved me from myself. He wasn’t that someone special, but as a friend, he still tried to save me.

I can repeat this over and over to him: Arigatou! Hontou ni arigatou!

I realized, I never did needed any Hallelujah Chance~!
since I don’t regret anything that happened to my life. They were all my decision, anyway. I’m grateful that it did happen to me. My past isn’t really a good one, but it did made me strong. I am what I am now because of these things. I wouldn’t be me if it didn’t.

Right now, I wanna believe in something. I think I’ll stick with it for now, and wait.

I don’t wanna make every same mistake I made in the past. For now, I will wait.
And when it’s the time to move, it will be my time.

I think I found a really good and cool friend, I don’t wanna waste it.
Thanks, dude! :’D

Well, I really didn’t think I’d be up to this point. Again, my diet isn’t really strict. LOL Just gonna eat what I want and avoid unwanted fatty foods. hehe I got cheat days here and there, but still amazing. :P

My weight’s now fluctuating between 52-53kg. Before it was like 54-56kg. LOL? gah~ Anyway, I’m not really aiming for my weight. I’m aiming for my fat chubby stomach. hahaha~ A lot of people who have seen me personally think that I really don’t need any diet coz’ I’m good the way I am. Together with the clothes I wear, my chubbiness really doesn’t seem to show. haha But yea, there. My face is kinda becoming thinner and thinner. My mom’s telling me to eat already. She’s shouting at me haha

Anyhooooooow~ yea, my stomach’s getting smaller bit by bit. hehe XD

If you guys wanna know what I’m doing… it’s a secret for now. :D

Anyway~ gotta go! :’D

_{OT:
my hair’s starting to look fugly~}
I better do something about the bangs
but I dunno, I want it to grow longer >.>

02. STOP dwelling
on the past. It shows no good. It causes wrinkles. Start resisting what is yet to suffer. Smile. Laugh. You’ll look better. Really!

03. Leave yesterday behind
If Keno did it, so can you! Chalk it up to experience. Use it all as your reference when you dispense advice to other needy souls who made wrong turns along the highway of love.

04. Learn
from the mistakes of your heart. Broken hearts can be mended. Wounds build character. Open the doors that you have once shut. Not doing so will make you old and grumpy. Be open to being.

05. Move forward
History is called such for a reason. It’s meant to stay in the past to be studied and be learnt from. It’s better than standing still. Even better than rolling backwards. Tomorrow is another day. The rest of the story of your life remains unwritten.

Running away
Embrace your future

masikip na kuwarto, pigil na hininga,
sakit ng ulo, pagluha ng mata,
madilim na paligid, magulo ang isip,
di makatulog, parusang malupit!

iwan ang kahapon, harapin mo ang bukas,
lahat ng bagay may wakas.

nangungulila, sa pag-ibig mong lubos,
sigaw ng damdamin, biglang napaos,
ayaw pumiglas, sa’king pagkatali,
tanggapin ang lahat, ng ‘di na maulit!

iwan ang kahapon, harapin mo ang bukas,
lahat ng bagay may wakas.

maling pag-ibig ay dapat kalimutan,
saradong pinto’y muling buksan.

madilim na kahapon, ay lumiwanag,
mga problema’y nawala nang lahat,
napawi ang luha, lamig ay uminit,
luminaw ang isip, nakita ang langit!

iwan ang kahapon, harapin mo ang bukas,
lahat ng bagay may wakas.
iwan ang kahapon, harapin mo ang bukas,
lahat ng bagay may wakas.

So for now, I write what happened a few days ago.

November 24, Wednesday. I went to the LTO (Land Transportation Office) here in Las Piñas City. It’s really near our place. I finally had the time to go there. I mean I should have had my driver’s license long before.

I got mine in a very short time. There are only a few people in the line for the student license. Most of the folks in line are for the non-pro and pro license. What can I say? I need the student license first.

That’s my license. Yes, I have a very loooooong name.
That’ll only cost you Php318 for normal procedures.

According to their website: http://www.lto.gov.ph/,
you have to just follow the procedure and bring the necessary for application. It would just cost you a little less that Php500, even for the non-pro driver’s license. I think it’s a good deal.

So while trying to get my license, the security guards are really helpful. I mean, they talk to you everynowandthen if you seemed troubled or lost where to go.

Anyway, I advice everyone not to get in contact with any fixers in the vicinity. Not only that they’re illegal, but it would cost you a whole lotta money. For a normal 300+ pesos, you’d get your student license. But with a fixer, you’d pay 500+ pesos. For a normal non-pro license, you are expected to pay 400+ pesos. But with a fixer, you’d need to pay 2000+ pesos. That’s kind of waaaaaaay overboard, right?

Just do the procedure. It will take your time away from you, but at least you know that you got your license on a very legal way, right?

I was so happy I just had to post a picture with it when I got home.

So there, I got my student driver’s license but I’d need to wait for a month to apply for the non-pro license. I seriously can’t drive alone if I only have a student’s permit. My dad would need to accompany me everytime I drive for now. haha

After getting my license, I went to SM Center to purchase some things from there.

I got these from Watson’s.

First off, I needed to buy that Nourishing Hair Repair Mask with Chamomile (upper-right). I need to use that for my hair. It’s really effective! I tried it once and my hair started to look good. It’s for frizzy hair and unmanageable hair. It will make it soft and will be straight. Read the instructions so you won’t make the same mistake as I did when I first tried it. haha~

Second, I got those hairsprays. Both green and blonde. I had this idea to cosplay Kintaros and Deneb in human form. Both are from Kamen Rider Den-O. :D It’s been years since it’s been broadcasted but I still like it. :P

Lastly, I bought that Veet cold wax strips. I just wanted to try it myself. Well, I tried it and it was effective. I just need to use it often to get what I want. My legs aren’t that itchy and I like the feeling. I previously used razors, and the Veet cream but I didn’t like the results since it’s very easy to grow back. At least now, it would take some time before it grows back. yay~!

Just testing the hairsprays~ :P

So there. I think I’d try to write down my poem for class. I’ve had a warm up already. haha~

runs awaaaaaaaaaay~~~~~~~~~~~~~\o\

To be honest, whenever I do have no choice but to eat rice, I feel like vomiting it coz’ it makes my stomach feel full faster. Anyway, I just try to eat meat, fish, and vegetables. Though at times, I really have no choice but to eat instant noodles or pancit. I blame our kitchen. :-w

Amazingly, even though I got sick due to stress and over-fatigue (yes, I work every night. I teach English to Japanese), I kinda goofed off. BUT! To my surprise, my legs kinda toned down a bit. Yea, it’s not that fatty anymore. I got nicer skin nowadays too! Also, I’m not sure if it’s my imagination but the chubbiness on my face kinda lessened a bit? hahaha

Anyway, here’s my picture for today:

I think this diet is the best for me. No pressure, no worries. :D I just avoid what I need to avoid, and eat what I need to eat. Be ready for a whole new Erin next year~ ohohoho~ :3

I’m so in-love with Yuichi Nakamura so much right now~♥

Sometime between Novembers 14 and 15, I’ve realized that my diet is full of cheat days and little cheats and all. I don’t keep track of my weight and waistline. So now, I will try to keep track the things I eat, and also my weight and waistline.

Will probably be posting those on my tumblr account (raison d’être) instead since it’s prolly dead by this time already. haha!

I will update here prolly per week and maybe my pictures too.

Here’s my picture for Day 00:

Revelations at its finest~ :D

You were ruled out of #4,
but hey~ you ruled me out too! :P

Though let’s talk again when the time comes
that it’s possible to write you back on the list.
HAHA!

For now,
let’s both drink and smoke our hearts out~
and I’m still backing off! LOL

~~~
Why did I even blog this?
HAHA LOL

It’s the start of November, and I’m expecting nothing today.
Though it’s my mom’s birthday today.
Nevertheless, it’s a holiday here in my country.

I woke up early today just to sleep again. I was listening to the people outside my room. Just when I was about to fall asleep again, they were trying to knock on my door and I think it was my little brother trying to find his way with the documents I left hanging on my door. Of course I was surprised, I quickly jumped out my bed and opened my door.

It was the delivery I was waiting for a month now.

YES! FOR A MONTH NOW!

Every week since September 25, I kept on calling their service center to ask them the status. AND AFTER THE VERY EPIC LONG WAIT! It’s now on my doorsteps! YEY! *dance dance* haha

So I just got out of my bed. In other words, I don’t look decent. *sudpeys* So I got my lovely towel and placed it on one of my shoulders and covered my front. Yea, I was wearing shirt and shorts but that’s not enough. LOL

SO SAY HELLO TO MY CANON FREEBIES!

In my previous post, “Belphegor, Squalo, and Rasiel“, I posted that I bought a new DSLR and lens and I’m waiting for the freebies that they’ll send me. So there. I’m really happy about this! YAY!

3-Year Warranty Card and Manual

I was really happy about it! It’s not everyday that you’d get a 3 Year Warranty for something you bought. It’s usually just a year or two. I’m very lucky to get this. Plus, I didn’t expect it to have a card with it. hehe~ I worked in a callcenter before as a technical support representative and one of the requirements to have your gadget repaired or replaced is to have the receipt. Here, it’s waaaaay better since there is an actual proof.

Gokudera :: tamrac velocity 8x bag

I was really WAITING for this because I really didn’t expect that I’d get a free bag with my purchase. I was really surprised when I found out that the color was BLACK&RED! It’s very special for me, and I love the color! I was expecting it to be blue because when I was searching in the Internet, I thought it only had blue and brown in stock. So WOOT!

Then, I remembered Canon’s color is Black&Red so yea~ hahaha! I’m so slow these days haha!

And yes, I named that bag Gokudera. Yamamoto is one of the guardians from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. He is the storm guardian, and thus has the color red. LOL I know, that’s really lame that I’d name my photography things on KHR characters. But I’d want to do that since if I did, I have a feeling that my collection will be wider and better. XD

It’s also funny that my camera is named Belphegor since he is Varia’s storm guardian. hahaha!

Yamamoto :: Special Canon EF Lens Collectors Cup

I really love this! To have a tumbler shaped like a very expensive lens. haha! I usually have Starbucks tumblers and others, but this is an authentic Canon Collectors Cup. I’m so blessed that I don’t need to purchase it anymore. :D Saved me a whole lotta cash. hehe

looks just like a normal Canon White Lens

but sorry, it’s a tumbler~ XD

I named this tumbler Yamamoto just because he is the water guardian. haha! I won’t place water there since there is a very small hole on top of it. I think it’s best to put hot coffee in it since well, it’s stainless. I don’t know. Hello Starbucks! XD

And yes, like the bag, it’s also Ironic that I named this after a water guardian. Sqaullo is actually Varia’s water guardian. :P Bleh~

I can say that the names are purely coincidental. I was thinking wisely on how to them them based on their structure or purpose. It just so happened that it’s like that. HAHA

delivery receipts and serial numbers

I’d like to thank DHL for delivering my stuffs on a holiday. :P and to Canon, thank you so much! It’s like I didn’t spend so much here. But well yea, haha you get my point. Purchasing a separate bag will be very expensive and it’s good that it’s an 8x bag and it’s very big. Though I wish the style was better. LOL

Happy day today! :”D

Belphegor (Canon EOS 7D);
Squalo (EF 50mm f/1.8 II);
Rasiel (4GB Canon EOS 5D II USB Drive).

Here’s the story. I think a lot of you already know that I’ve been trying to get my hands on a proper photography equipment. So here it is.

I finally got myself a very awesome Canon EOS 7D. I named it Belphegor just because I think it suits it well. For one, the name itself is a name of a demon who is said to help make discoveries. LOL On another hand, in the 7 Deadly Sins it’s the demon linked to Sloth. It’s very ironic but it suits it so well. haha! And for two, I really like Belphegor from the anime series: Katekyo Hitman REBORN! :P Really cute~ XD

My purchase didn’t have a kitlens with it because somebody told me that it was not worth it for that 7D. So yea, I purchased an EF 50mm f/1.8 II and I named it Squalo. Wow! Okay, well yea. Superbi Squalo at my service. I like him too and he’s really cute. :P He is often seen with Belphegor. So yea, that’s why it’s named that way. XD

Unlike my 2 previous purchases, I didn’t purchase my Rasiel. He is my Canon EOS 5D Mk.II 4GB USB Drive that I got free from my 7D. If you watch KHR you’d know who he is. He is the long lost twin brother of Belphegor who showed himself in the series during the future arc. hehe~

So there you have it! I named them all from the same anime series. I’m such a nerd. :< LOL

[trying to study?]

But anyway, I’m still waiting for Canon’s delivery. They said I will get a free tamrac velocity 8x bag free from the 7D purchase and a Canon collector’s tumbler for the 50mm purchase. So happy! Can’t wait. I’m still thinking for their names, but it will definitely be from KHR too. LOL

and yes, I am a Lycan! XD

Yano Motoharu
Bakura ga Ita
episode 8

I haven’t been practicing or learning new things about cards since I’ve started working again. It’s not that I don’t want to learn, I’ve been just too busy. A lot is happening right now and I’m removing some distractions one by one.

I love cards! I love flourishing! I love magic!
But I think that’s not enough.

For now, I think it’s better for me to pause for a while. Just like what happened to me before, suddenly pausing from the music industry. I need to focus on the things in front of me now. With the normal human lifespan, it’s not enough to learn everything you want. It’s okay. Probably I’ll return to this part of my life when all goes well. After all, it was my own decision to learn about cards anyway.

Cardistry is fun… but there are some things that made me think otherwise.

I think of the art as something that would make me feel happy and also others happy.
I look at it as something that I can call a hobby.
I can never look at it in a professional way.

People often mistake professionalism as something that they are good at. In a sense, it looks like that they incorporate “being professional” to the point that they look down on people who just wants to learn it since it’s fun and happy. Isn’t that being an “elitist” instead?

Being professional means you are gaining income from it, thus it means that it’s now “work” and not a “hobby”.

I on the other hand, thinks of it as something that I can present or perform as something really random to anyone by any means. It’s a good hobby for me since I’m supposed to be having fun while learning it. I can never label cardistry to be something that I can gain income.

People may react on this, but I really don’t care. You guys are good at what you’re doing, I respect you guys for that. Everybody has a say, right? I want to have fun, that’s all. And I’m not having fun anymore because of the stereotype that’s been going around lately.

Maybe I’m not supposed to be in that industry, right?
I think I’m better off learning them on my own since I’ll be intrigued more and would be able to retain them in my mind. Like, learning them at my own pace. I don’t need a bunch of know-hows inserted on my mind. That’s not how people learn. Believe me, I know learning. A person can’t really learn like that. You need to grab the idea as a whole and slowly set your mind to it.

There’s no point in learning it really fast. We’re not on a race called “The Person Who Can Learn Fast Will Be Successful”. So there’s no point in rushing them. There will be a time when I will get back to learning card flourishes and tricks. I really need a rest from all these things. Thank you.

So, in pausing…

I think I’d want to return to music again. I haven’t really played or learned anything for years already. Suddenly, my passion for music was triggered again for some time now. I want to play my guitar again. I want to learn new songs. I want to recall everything. It’s gonna be hard, but I want to relearn everything again.

In the end, everything is always my decision.

Anyway, as most of you know… For upcoming cosplay plan,
Kel is our “King”.
For I will be the “Queen”.
We also have our “Knight” which is Adz,
“Rook” which is Dee,
“Bishop” which is Mike,
and the “Pawn” which is Zae.

So yea, I browsed through the posts… I found this entry:
“chess meme snagged from Comstarbaby“
Kel apparently got “King” as his result. So I also tried it. I was hoping to get the “Queen” but I highly doubt it coz’ the description on it doesn’t suit me. HAHA! So there. It was fine that I didn’t get that result. hehe~ Atleast I’m still near the “King”, right? haha

Your result for The Chess Mess Test…

The King’s Merchant

Congrats! Only 5-7% of the population score this!

The King’s Merchant is an analyzer of situations, but function to repair problems. They prefer dealing with tangible problems and proven experience. They are naturally quiet and open to information and new approaches. Because of this they are a useful source for information.

They may be introverted, but are adept at controlling interactions with others, and may be forceful concerning their influence. They focus on efficiency and skills. The balance they bring is one that encourages groups to think then act. They are capable of holding a cool head in stressful situations and help others assess the reality of any situation. They can be difficult to understand because they do need space to charge. Communication is key here; others need to realize that the King’s Merchant communicates without the need for verbal cues.

The King’s Merchant prefers to practice their passion in seclusion. The result however is one of virtuosity that other types find difficult to match or even out do. Because they focus highly on the task at hand they may fail to see the long term expenses. They may also not communicate their understanding of a situation having expected others to see it in their most practical way. They are valuable assets for friends. You should be pleased scoring as a ‘Pawn’ – it proves that you are a constructive and contributing member of society.

Check out my other tests!

Procrastination at its finest~ :P

My new desktop (or at least the CPU), which I named “yamapi“, had been put to use since yesterday (February 5, 2010 F). woot!

The thing is, I’m still lazy to personalize this and to transfer my files to its harddrive. haha! I don’t know. haha Maybe I’m still waiting for the table that I’d buy in a few days, plus a monitor that I’ll also purchase from one of my friends. :P Then maybe, after that I’d be more relaxed and organized. haha

Well, lately I had a lot of thoughts coming through my mind. haha! I wanna write about them soon. Too bad I’m really lazy today. haha! Well, kind of lazy coz’ I’m typing this now. haha!

Anyways, will update my blog soon enough XD
I promise!^^

Anyways, I kinda needed to pause for a moment. Rest~ haha!

I just threw out 200+ pieces of my handmade white paper cranes. I left around 65 pieces though since we’re gonna use some on a random photoshoot in a few hours. LOL and I’m still wide awake here hahaha!

A lot of mess, I threw about one big “balikbayan” box full of mess, papers, and some stuffs that I don’t really need now. Organized my school papers and stuffs into envelopes. HAHA! yea~ I do that lols~ :P

Well, you won’t see the mess from this view of the camera~ hehehe~ coz’ that part’s already been errrr… organized? well, a bit lols!

I still have to sweep the floor in a while, then move some of my things to another part of my room. hahaha!

Oh yea~ I found my long lost mp3 player somewhere buried in all the mess. lols~ So yea, I was listening to my playlist from a year ago while cleaning. hehe~

I must say, it’s nicer to clean at night. No one bothers me. hahaha! XD

Well, why am I cleaning my room? After having my room for like that for over a year now, do I have a reason to really clean it like that? I mean, I was just sick since last week. And the moment I got a little better I’m doing this. hehe~

hmmm~ well, actually… I’m preparing for my new love to arrive. WOOT!

I had my cousin, Kuya Cris, assemble a desktop for me since my laptop broke down just this December. D: So yea, goodbye salary. HAHAHAHA!

I’m gonna name my new desktop “yamapi” since I love yamapi so much~
heehee~ :P

Anyways, gotta go~ it’s 4:44am according to this pc’s clock. haha! and I still have much to do. Plus I need to go to school in a while and go to a photoshoot afterwards lol~ :P

here’s my link:
raison d’être

It’s just the same as my URL here at my wordpress, just a different domain. LoLz

Basically, all my TL;DR stuffs will be posted here, and my short blogs, picture blogs, or whatever will be posted there in my tumblr instead~ you know the drill… LOL~ so follow me on both XD hehehe

Thanks~!

oh and, I still don’t have a computer so…… HAHAHAHAHA

I went straight to SM Southmall yesterday. Then, afterwards I received a text message coming from my prof in CNCTPHO that the deadline for all the missing plates (photography plates) will be at 10am later. (Yep, it’s 12:50am now)…

So a little after lunch… errr… around 2pm… I think? I went home already. When I got home, I initially planned on using the desktop to edit the photos I ended up procrastinating. But I couldn’t edit it coz’ the monitor was yellowish. Damn, I want my laptop fixed already. haha

So yea, I couldn’t really sleep since I need to get ready for work by 5pm. gaaaaah~

After this shift, I would be going to school to edit the photos. Well, not really edit as in edit edit. Edit like cropping and over-all edits like brightness or contrast? But I doubt I’d do that haha!

No sleep.
I’m feelin’ dizzy.
My voice is a little getting blaaaah~

Haaaays…
Good thing, it’s gonna be our off later at night, and we’ll be back on the next shift. lol

lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~ lutang~

Was taught the 5-packet display.That was actually my first time to try that 5-packet display and I believe I did great and I can do more than that. soooooo…

After a few days… I got pretty bored with it, so I tried adding 2 more packets.

Well, here’s the outcome:

This was shot while I was in the office, waiting for calls on my line. That’s why I had a headset on. hehe~

Forgive me, I just wanna brag about my accomplishment~ XD

Basically, it had already been a month since I realized I wanted to do Card Flourishing. hehe~

Lately I’ve been addicted to Card Flourishing and Card Tricks, thanks to 3 people~ LOLs

[photo by: Amcel Ong]

I first saw David, Gumby, and Fiel do tricks one time. David said that same day, that if I’d be able to do that 1-hand shuffle, he’ll kiss my feet~ ohohoho~ I did it but it wasn’t that neat. So yea, David told Gumby to just teach me a few things. I’m happy they liked how my hands are with the cards. LoLs

I’m still practicing some of the cuts.

So yea, I’m blessed to have good friends to teach me different stuffs.

The pressure is on! I wanna perform good tricks and flourishes~

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year~!

I won’t have any vacation again this season~ :) but it’ll be all good XD
