Shoes, yesterday, and some yaoi reads (Comments Off)

aqrn785, I can’t seem to access your blog.

I want this shoes. That’s going to be in my to-buy list. *_*

I went to my bf’s place yesterday. I showed him the Lameboy emulator I just copied to my DS Lite this morning. He wanted to play old GB/GBC Pokemon games. XD I also showed him DSOrganize which is teh awesome. Let’s see if it will really help me be more organized. HAHAHHAHA~ WTF… I have the Belle de Jour planner, the Starbucks journal (but I actually use that more for literally journaling), and a Nokia 9300i… Still, I feel so disorganized! XDDD I gotta stop procrastinating.

Anyway, moving on… I stayed there until, uhh, 8:30PM. We just smoked and hanged out with his friends. I even saw the person I didn’t want to see. ~_~ I dislike her a lot because I find her, hmm, a disgrace to the female population. *lol* I know I have no right to say that. It’s just that, if she has the guts to run away from home, she must be able to take care of herself instead of becoming a freeloader. *shakes head*

Any of my friends on Plurk yet? XD It’s highly addicting. It has become the next IRC. *ROFL*

Miyamoto Kano’s Not/Love is sweet. ^_^ It’s been (another) long while again since I read yaoi. It was actually Tenshi wo Kudasai by Minamino Mashiro that I read before Not/Love. I can’t get past the 3rd chapter. The story’s just so confusing. ~_~

Joker, Soul Eater, and Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (Comments Off)

Thanks, dementia, for the reply in my drama post. XD That has made me warm and happy. Fufufu~ I will need your Y!M, so I can rant to you 24/7 about my problems. XDDD *rofl* Just kidding! Anyway, thanks so much again. I also had my toys and pr0n to get my mind off things. XD

Oh well, my toys and pr0n won’t make me forever and ever satisfied.

Speaking of toys, I was doing some blog-hopping before the dramz. I saw this Heath Ledger as Joker figure by Hot Toys (yeah, it’s a figure… Not actually a toy “toy”… @_@;;;):

Saw these in Toyconph’s Multiply.

I want one in my room! But since I’m not such an avid fan of figures (what I really want are Gundam kits and the Yotsuba figure only), I’d rather spend the dough on film, toy camera, books, or manga. :3 I can only stare at this scary, but greatly done figure. *sighs*

I have started watching Soul Eater and Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. WTH happened to Soul Eater? I really like its manga version because the art is very, very cool. But the anime art is just *bleh*. XP It’s like artists of Shaman King and the Gorillaz have joined forces for this series. ~_~ Also, why does the story seem slower than the manga? Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, on the other hand, is hilarious. XD A seemingly normal guy is married (as part of his job) to a cat-looking girl and they have 5 kids. They’re not all human though — a jellyfish, a lion, a robot, gay _son_, and a physically abused daughter. Ouka’s (the father with the task of saving the world by marrying the cat-girl) expression was hilarious seeing one of his kids is gay just when he thought he finally has a normal son. XDDD

XD Please don’t suggest that I look for them in MCS or Quiapo. I don’t dig pDVDs except for American/European TV series. I prefer them in any PC format except rm, wmv, or asf. Oh, HQ too. ^_^ Please, please, please? :DDD

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. XD 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. XDDD (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. XDDD

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. *lol* 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… XP 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. *lol* 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. XDDD

I still can’t believe it lol (Comments Off)

Time to get back to my semi-regular blogging. XD I’m done with the review AND the board exam. I also got the results. I feel as if a huge load were removed from my shoulders! The stress and all the worries are now gone. :DDD Man, I’m not used to _not_ reviewing. ^^;;; Before the exams, I reviewed as hard as I could. I kept complaining how many there was needed to be read. -_-

On the first day of the examinations (Feb. 6), the exams covered Environmental Engineering and Civil Engineering. The Environmental Engineering exam was fine, but I didn’t want to expect a high score on it. Expect the worst they say.

Then on the CE exam, there were only 38 BUT! FREAKING HARD QUESTIONS that probably even those who passed the recent CE exam wouldn’t be able to answer it. There were questions in relation to electricity and Chemistry. I was like, “Wha-!?” I never reviewed those. -_- I felt depressed right after that. I almost lost all hope. But I told myself that the fight is just starting, so I reviewed hard when I got home for Wastewater Engineering and Public Health/Plumbing. I slept most of the time while reviewing ^^;;;. I almost cried when I woke up the following morning. I tried to calm myself down which seemed to work because the others teased on how relaxed I was. But if they knew me for already a long time, they would know that I was worried. I barely spoke and moved from my seat. Thankfully, the Wastewater Engineering went fine. What I hurriedly read during breakfast that morning came out. I was relieved. But in the Public Health/Plumbing exam it was hard like the CE exam. I remember telling my friends not to study the Code on Sanitation because I doubt that would be in the exam. It came true and I felt sorry they spent more time on that. ^_^V On the last day, the coverage was Water Supply Engineering. Instead of that, there were mostly problems on Fluid Mechanics! I tried to concentrate even though I started to believe I have no chances on passing. I imagined how I would face my parents, Mac, and my friends. It bugged me so much that I spent more time not looking at my paper, but to force myself to focus. :/ Since I didn’t review much about Fluid Mechanics, I tried to remember all the things I learned in Fluid Mechanics as hard as I could. My head hurt a lot when I got home. -_-

At home, I was telling my Mom again how hard the exams were as if they didn’t want anyone to pass. My parents and Mac kept saying I will pass and everything will be alright. I was worried like shit. I didn’t look at my cellphone until the morning (yesterday). If I do not receive messages that means I failed. If I did… Well… ^_^ But I did!!! There were from 3 classmates and our professor congratulating me. I asked myself, “Why!? Did I pass the board!?” I was getting all excited. I couldn’t help myself that I ran to my Dad’s office and excitedly told them that I passed. They were so shocked. They couldn’t believe it! ^_^V They wouldn’t believe me until they saw the list. So I asked Marius who wouldn’t even tell me at first. So, yeah… The fact that only 16 of us passed is totally unbelievable. O_O

Anyway, a lot of things happened since October, so I’ll be bumming for some time to REST. I want to take some time to myself without worrying about anything. After the paperworks I worked on months back, I rushed my transcript application which the school’s head registrar wouldn’t even give. XP As soon as I got the transcript (after a lot of arguing), I had to hurry for the board exam application which I had problems too because of my birth certificate. I was so stressed that I missed some review days. Ugh~ But all that rushing and panicking paid off. ^_^ Yay!

Congratulations to the ff. Mapuans (more than half of the 16) who also passed:
ISLES, MAURICE JAMES ZUASOLA

Thanks to my family and Mac who supported and prayed for me. Thanks also to those who congratulated me. *lol* This is like a prayer! XDDD

Remember my post about Revoltech’s Yotsuba figure? This time they released a Gurren-Lagann!
