Daily, Games, Plugs: I had a doggies dream ^^ + dA plugs (Comments Off)
I wasted time reading The Superficial blog again.
*sighs* Even though I enjoy the jokes, sarcasm, and other shit there, I had to remove their feed from my Google Reader. This kind of video shouldn’t be uploaded anymore. Especially in YOUTUBE. Gawd!
*coughs* Moving on…It’s still May, but I guess the rainy season started early. May’s still part of the summer season, right?
The weather is unbelievable. *sighs* Also, all the calamities happening in different countries is a sign… For us to be good people! >_> I kid. I’m in no position to say that. Saddening how one tragedy comes after another. *shakes head* I’m finally (sorta) free from household chores!
Officially started yesterday. Man, it’s so tiring, but I still tend to the dogs. Because I want to. I love them so much that I even had a dream about them. 
♥ ♥ ♥ In the dream, I was walking around somewhere full of trees and grass. It was either just green or white in my dream. Then someone said that wherever we were was a good location for a movie or a shoot which I agreed to. I remembered Allie then I felt sad. I started to look for the dogs. Suddenly, I had a film camera in my hand. I saw Marie standing (as if dancing) on a bed while I peeked through the viewfinder. The sun’s rays shone on her even making it an awesome image. I was telling my companion, but she didn’t see Marie. She was like a ghost that can only be seen with a camera. 
The dream hardly made sense, I know. It only probably showed how much I have been thinking about the dogs and cameras. My period started yesterday. Ugh~ I felt awful. I was having mood swings. I felt depressed. I felt mad at the world. There are reasons why and not just because of the period. I’ll spare the drama now. Should post about it next time when I can’t find myself to forget.
The other day I finished JEANNE D’ARC! That game is long.
But it’s good. Addicting due to the storyline. I was always curious as to what happens next after a fight, so I kept moving on and barely made efforts to make my characters strong. They’re levels are 5-6 points higher than the enemies anyway, so hardly got problems fighting with the bosses. The final boss was a piece of cake. Now I can finish FFXII. D: After… What? 2 years? Some new additions to my semi-dead dA account.
I know these aren’t dA-worthy. But, who cares?

Daily: Whew! (Comments Off)
Got home a couple of hours ago from Lomo Fiesta.
Man, that was FUN! Though I spent most of the time sitting, texting, and drinking beer. I also met more peeps from Lomomanila. (Thanks, Allan, sa beer!) It was really fun. Hopefully I get to meet more and attend a lot of future events by the group. Anyone who’s into toy cams must join! Lalo na sa mga kilala ko para naman may kasama ako. May 13, 2008
Daily, K. Wasabi: Boo~ (Comments Off)
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go the Aliwan Festival. Mac and I were already on our way when it started to rain very, very hard. Mac told me we shouldn’t go anymore. Then I was debating whether we go to High Street or Rockwell. There was a shoot in High Street that I originally planned in going to. Then in Rockwell I heard that the Mach5’s there.
But the rain didn’t stop right away and either places are hard to go to when it rains. We ended up in Glorietta. As usual. I heard that the Aliwan Festival started late (around 6:30PM) which is a huge bummer for those who wanted to join the photography contest (Php50,000 for the grand prize!) including me. I hope they start early next time like 9AM. Rozeh~ I’m not really into going to events nor cons most especially. I only go to events where I can take a lot of pictures or benefit a lot from… Like the food tour.
J/k! As for cons, the only con I have gone or will be be going to is LIGHTS OUT. I ♥ the girls there. Ever since our helpers left, the last 2 weeks have been very busy for me. My new hobby is doing household chores.
NOT.
I’m not saying I don’t like doing household chores. I have no problems doing a few, but doing it everyday is tiring. The only thing I enjoy is tending to our dogs.
I hope we get a help soon. Taking care of a building 4 floors high is not easy. 
Due to my being busy, I could hardly get anything from my to-do list done. I can’t watch any of the new anime I was so excited to see. I still manage to download new releases and some from the previous season though. I can’t watch Speed Racer and Ironman yet too because my Mom doesn’t really like being alone in the house for long.Other than household chores, I’ve been sorting and throwing some stuff from our bodega (or store room). The first 2 days I sorted out my brother’s school notes and books. 95% of them ended in the trash. My Mom told him to keep only those he would need in the future, but he even stored scratch or torn papers.
While I was looking at all the paper he had, I realize that schools are the number one KILLER OF TREES. 
Next were plastic bags. We have so much of them. 
I sorted them by size, threw those that seem useless, separated those that can be used for the trash bins, and stored the really huge ones for the huge traveling bags (because it will keep the bags from getting all dusty). We have a lot of traveling bags. My Dad has a habit of buying one or two every time he goes out of the country. He bought another one from his last week’s trip to Hanoi and Burma. @_@ We’ll be selling some of the bags in our 2nd garage sale. I hope they go into good homes. Yesterday I went to the doctor to ask for a “request” letter. A nurse checked my BP. He tried twice and failed. He only got it on the third try when he switched to my right arm.

Daily: Aliwan Festival at 4PM today! (1 Comment)
I’ll be going. Gotta prepare the cameras.
The Aliwan Festival will be held later in the CCP grounds at 4PM. Anyone going there later? My #’s 09223232487 if you wanna do a quick meet-up. To those who know my Globe postpaid #, you may still contact me there. I just don’t want to post my primary # publicly. May 2, 2008
Daily, Memes: Damn YouTube, “Greenade” results, + meme (3 Comments)
YouTube deleted one of the videos I uploaded.
It was getting a lot of hits and comments. Now it’s gone. Whoever reported the video should be whacked. I want to use my VOX account as a permanent place to upload videos (like where I usually post scans of artbooks, photobooks, etc.), but YouTube’s where everyone is! GRR~I got the scans from my films about 2 weeks ago. Just got my lazy ass to edit (only adjust the brightness & contrast) and upload some of the pictures recently.
Marie
Neo Chinatown
I haven’t uploaded everything from the first roll. Should get around that soon.
I am not too happy with the results. Most of them came out too dark.
But at least I know what my mistakes are and to do better next time. The only good thing is that 15 out of 16 shots came out. Here’s a handwriting meme I saw from hisaki’s LJ.
I wasn’t tagged, but I wanted to do it. Handwrite the following things and upload it so your friends can see what your handwriting looks like!
1) name/username
2) left or right handed?
3) favourite letters to write
4) least favourite characters to write
5) write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
6) tag 5 people

Anime & Manga, Daily, Memes: Obviously, people don’t read anymore (2 Comments)
I removed some people off my reading list. I always read their blogs and leave comments, but I never hear from them in mine. I’m being selfish again I know.
But sometimes I also want some ♥in’.Just recently I finished Californication Season 1. I suffered 2 nights of major headaches. That’s why I hate series in DVD format. You know, those only playable in standalone DVD players, because I can’t stay too long in front of the TV. UGH~ DAMMIT. If it weren’t for David Duchovny, I wouldn’t watch the whole season 1 Californication. I finished it in 2 nights since it’s only 12 episodes.
It’s possible to finish this in one sitting, but I feel weird watching the episodes with sex scenes when my parents are around. My brother also doesn’t want me to finish it ahead of him. I would watch with my PC, but I’d suffer back pains on my wooden chair. Lying on my bed while watching is not good either being near-sighted. I wrote a short background here.I splurged on 35mm films before the Surigao trip. I got myself some fresh Lucky Color 200 (lower than the SRP XD) and fresh Solid Gold 200. Then my parents brought home some cheap Fuji films from, I think, Walgreens.
To add more, Lola Lily gave 2 boxes of expired Kodak Gold 200 (must test to see how the pictures will come out) and Tita Pricilla bought me 2 boxes of fresh Fuji 400. Now they’re all zip-locked and stored in the crisper. Since Green-ade would be needing 120 films, I ordered from Adorama. I wanted to buy more, but I had to control myself. My parents would kill me if they see my cc bill go skyhigh just because of those. Next on my to-buy list is the LC-A. I wish a green version would come out. (Btw, magnetic_rose, will email you about your Polaroid films. They already arrived sa officemate ng Dad ko… Siya na lang mismo hinihintay ko dumating dito. *lol*)Before the film buying, I was already on a spending spree. I gave in to temptation and bought these on eBay.ph:
I made a compilation of local shops that sell manga in the T-A Forum. Some were suggested by others so credit goes to them.
Booksale MCS
CATS Collectibles Greenhills
Comic Quest SM North EDSA
Comic Odyssey Robinson’s Place Malate
Comic Odyssey TriNoma
Fully Booked Rockwell
Fully Booked High Street
National Bookstore
Powerbooks ATC
Powerbooks Greenbelt 3
Powerbooks Mall of Asia
Powerbooks SM Megamall
Powerbooks TriNoma
Skybucks SM Fairview
Yamazaki Japanese Grocery Store (Near MCS? Can anyone confirm?)
So far, I find the collection at Powerbooks TriNoma and Fully Booked High Street worth looking at. If only some manga are open for free-reading at Fully Booked, I would have to start LIVING there.
Man, I’ve been so busy lately. My to-do list gets longer as more stuff are needed to be done. I spent two days organizing my room. It’s about 80% finished. I got a new bookshelf where I can finally put my manga, novels, and DVDs. A bit unfortunate that I can’t access my terrace anymore because we placed the bookshelf just beside the door.
I hardly use the terrace anyway. Had a bit of a phobia going there after seeing (with Pebbles) a guy masturbating. Eww~ It would be alright if it’s a HOT guy, but he isn’t… So… Aside from room cleaning, it has also been busy with most of my relatives from the US here. Shopping, dinners, lunches, a wedding, etc… The talking and walking is very tiring. But it was overall fun. I had Mac join us in one of our dinners. I’m glad my relatives didn’t “interrogate” him or something. He was a big help to one of my Lola when we went shopping. She had him fit the 2 barong she bought from Tutuban. Here’s an -ology meme copied from Lady Noremon’s dA:
