Surveys: What does your birth date mean? (Comments Off)

Your Birthdate: August 12

Being born on the 12th day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life.

The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental.

There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, sometimes “couldn’t care less” attitude.

You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression.

Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing.

You are energetic and always a good conversationalist.

You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters.

Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about.

You are affectionate and loving - but very sensitive.

You are subject to rapid ups and downs.

Music: Best of My Love (3 Comments)

Yes, I’m still alive.

My computer is suddenly having problems, so I can barely go online til I make back-ups of my files. Anyhoo…

The Best of My Love
by Eagles

Every night I�m lyin� in bed
Holdin� you close in my dreams
Thinkin� about all the things that we said
And comin� apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin�
To give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin� our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin� you get the best of my love, oh
Sweet darlin�, you get the best of my love

I�m goin� back in time
And it�s a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be all right
If I could go on sleepin�
But every mornin�
I wake up and worry
What�s gonna happen today
You see it your way
And I see it mine
But we both see it slippin� away

You know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn�t enough
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin�
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin�
You get the best of my love
Every night and day,
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin� you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin� you get the best of my love

Anime & Manga, Daily: Harima shaved his beard! Haha~ (2 Comments)

I went with my parents to the grocery today. I was thinking of buying a new cellphone, but changed my mind.

I’ll be waiting til next month or the month after, so the price would be lower. Plus, my phone’s still kinda working. I just have a great dislike on Nokia phones now. It’s what everyone uses!

My mom went to Mercury Drug in Glorietta to have a mammogram test. There was a machine there that checks your height, weight, blood pressure, body mass, and body fat. My weight is normal; yay, I’m NOT overweight.

My Body Mass Index is 23.2 kg/m². The normal BMI value is between 20 and 24.9. Mine’s still normal.

My fat mass, though, is about 1% above the normal (this site says different). What got me wondering was my blood pressure. It’s… LOW. My minimum diastolic is 54mmHg. The normal minimum is 90mmHg. Should I be worried or not? The measurement may be inaccurate, but it might be _almost_ correct. I did mention before that I usually feel dizzy or light-headed. These “attacks” have become frequent too. I’m going to have my bp checked again tomorrow if my mom won’t forget. Btw, it only costs Php5 to get those measurements.

I was copying MKR disc 1 for more than 4 hours. I couldn’t extract one. Dammit. sofar, meron ka MKR? Pahiram please? These stupid cdrs… I wonder what episodes I can still save. Anyways, I’ll be getting some screenshots of School Rumble, post random rants in sashimi and maybe go to sleep.

Daily: You don’t have to go (Comments Off)

Feeling: sleepy
Listening to: 311 - Rub-a-Dub

Let’s see if I’ve accomplished something in my to do list.
1. All K-pop fanstuff be uploaded to SA — forget about making the site.
2. With SA down atm, might as well put up a portfolio site — still thinking this over
3. Update GJ layout.
4. Burn aqrn785’s cd.
5. Burn absy’s cd.
6. Download manga requests for Sam.
7. Download more BERSERK. \m/
8. Put mood icons in journal.

The gig was _almost_ FUN if it weren’t for the @$$holes who ruined the night.

–> I’m not supposed to be happy about it, but thinking back… The people just amused me a lot.

Being that I’ve gotten somehow busy with Blast projects and lazy due to classes resuming, let’s see if I can still recall everything that happened last April 15. (This might go looooooooooooong…)

Instead of having the last practice for the gig, we played Tekken 5 and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater (where I defeated Jozen the second, third, & nth time *snickers*). We left the house at around 6:45PM. The traffic was bad. It took almost an hour to get there. If we hadn’t found the place right away, we would have missed the fourth band — Hemp Republic, me thinks. We got there, Brownman Revival was playing and there weren’t much people watching. I thought the gig was going to be flop, but a few minutes later a lot of people came in!

I got really excited. Hehe~ In the line-up, we were the 4th or 5th but we were moved due to Hemp and Milagros’ request. Then our slot got moved further.

That sucked. They should have asked us/me first before putting the other bands ahead of us. *shakes head* We watched, drank a few beers, I got a bit sleepy, and then Carlo, Rodel, and my parents arrived. (No, they didn’t go together.) Jozen and I went out to meet them. Carlo had a free entrance because I got him listed, but Rodel got in by luck.

So, K. Wasabi was almost complete. Only Sarah ~~and Burigs~~ weren’t there. One more sip of beer and cig for me and then it was our turn, finally. We performed after Humble Sauce. Our first song was Goldfinger’s Superman (Boyet’s specialty hehe~) and our second song was 311’s Amber. Aaaannnndddd thennnnn, we were told to pack up.

No kidding! Some fucktards *insert more curses* created a fight or something. Everyone’s attention was there. The show must go on and so we started on the next song, but they told us to stop. Whoever _they_ are. *glares* I hadn’t got the chance to be mad at that time. Ever since we started playing, the audience went on stage singing and dancing their hearts out. I was the one entertained! ^^VVV It wasn’t the other way around.

Moreso when the fight started. Boyet gave me the mic since I was to sing the third song. Two guys suddenly took it, acting high and mighty. My dad went over and took the mic from them. All hail these fucktards; they must be BURNED! Yesh, just when all of us were getting excited and happy we were cut off from performing. Who wants to join me in burning them as sacrifices to the mice-shit god? We’ll make it seem that _god_ existed. Haha~ Just raise your hands!

Man, I feel so lazy and hot. Why do we have classes on a summer!? My Thursday and Saturday schedule sucks ass even. Every Thursday, my class starts at 7:30AM and ends at 9PM (I have an hour and a half vacant.) Then Saturdays, 7:30AM to 7:30PM. I have a vacant from 9AM to 12NN. I’m crossing my fingers that the yaoi con will be held on a Friday. That’s the only free day I have aside from Sunday. ^_^v

Goodies, Yaoi and Shounen-ai: Holland Castilla Japanese Ka? (6 Comments)

Holland Castilla Japanese Ka? by Nakamura Shungiku, scanlated by Mizu…

It’s a cute and very funny story about Shinjyu — a mix of different blood, but is actually Dutch — who stayed at Japan for a trading business. Here are some sample scans:
