I feel awful (0 Comments)
This cough is making me feel bad aside from having lack of sleep. Last Friday until Sunday, I only had 10 hours (est.) of sleep. I slept longer from Sunday night to yesterday Monday morning though. Then I went back to sleep from 4PM to 6PM and more short naps between 9PM to 12MN. ^^; I’m still sleepy, but I’m going to feel bad if I waste more time without doing anything
So, it’s been 9 days since my last post. I’ve been busy. I get a bit of free time, but I spent it resting. I haven’t even continued playing Innocent Life after I finished its first year. ~_~
About our paper, I’m trying to get it done by bugging Jay and Kristal about it almost everyday. Jay told me he would email the files to me. Geez, it took him a week to send only 3 paragraphs for the introduction. He even said it’s not yet done. *gah* Then the data he would only need to input with the Excel file I sent him is still not yet done. GRR~ I’m getting stressed just because of these people who wouldn’t do things right away. *sighs*
On to ‘happier’ non-work related things… I finished Lucky Star and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. ^_^ Lucky Star is a cute daily-life anime. Izumi Konata is my favorite. She’s the one who gave life in this series with her being an otaku and liking chocolates. XD My other favorite characters are Konata’s father and her homeroom teacher. Her homeroom teacher is into online gaming like Konata. In the later part of the series, she feels sad that her getting to sleep early because of work is already a sign that she’s prioritizing other things than playing which she didn’t do when she was younger. ^_^V Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, on the other hand, is a mecha, drama, comedy, action, adventure, and romance (yes, there’s a bit of lovey-dovey in the series) anime. It’s EPIC. It’s one of my favorite anime now. ^_^ I’m not satisfied with Simon’s decision of leaving the group to do things on his own… Whatever they are. O_o Even though he knows he’s not fit to become a leader, he should have at least stayed with those who survived the battles he went through with. I agree with everyone who says that his decision isn’t something Kittan and the others who sacrificed their lives will agree to. He has done things no one expected (except for Kamina) him to do, but he did and he deserves a lot for his effort. This series started out funny and good until it became slightly depressing. -_- Gainax did a great job making a lot of the characters special. I didn’t think Kittan would die. I was really sad with that. Why did Yoko and Simon have to lose so much? Tsk… So sad and depressing. I hope Gainax makes an OVA at least about this series. Although Kittan and Kamina (they’re my favorites hehe~) won’t be there anymore, I’m hoping for a better closure for Simon and Yoko. They look so different when they got older. *lol* It’s too bad they didn’t show Yoko’s face. I get the feeling she got ugly. *lol* I also want to know more about those Anti-Spirals. They seem more powerful. If it wasn’t for Simon and his comrades’ hopes, they wouldn’t be able to defeat them at all. *shakes head* TTGL is a series that doesn’t fully make sense. The part when they used the galaxies as weapons was funny. *lol* I was thinking that would create a disturbance to time and space, but it didn’t. Haha~ Amazing! This series is a definite must-watch. I don’t know if it’s already licensed. If it isn’t, I’m sure it will soon.
A lot of series has ended. I should finish them and start downloading new titles like Gundam 00. ^_^ Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei’s subs should also be finished soon. I miss watching that.
Last Thursday, I met up with spoz to check my Dad’s old laptop. I used it before, but it kept shutting down. I never used it again after that. My Dad suggested we sell it. Some of its part may still be useful or other people might want to upgrade its hardware. We sold it to my uncle who never got to pay. He returned it. Then we decided to have it checked to know what’s causing it to shutdown. I asked spoz for help hat task because I don’t know how to do things when it comes to hardware. XP He said it could be the hard disk. Its fan is also not working anymore. He said I should try to scan it with a different software that he’s going to email me. He hasn’t emailed me yet, but my Dad and I have been thinking of selling it again. It’s too bad. That Compaq laptop is cute because it’s small and its color is sky blue. It’s like a nail polish color actually. *lol* I also don’t want to disturb spoz again about such things. ^_^V Anyway, that was a really tiring day. I’m glad Mac accompanied me. I had so many things with me including my reading materials for research. After meeting with spoz, we had lunch then headed elsewhere. I plan on reading for our research. Then I got a message from spoz saying I could pick up the laptop already. O_O We went back to North EDSA. ^_^V Damn, that place is so far.
Neri, Phoebe, and I had a short coffee night out at High Street. We also camwhored. ^_^ I didn’t think we’d have about 30 pictures. *lol* I’ll be grabbing those later from Phoebe’s Multiply. Hehe~ There will be another photo post! :DDD
I just saw the NV digital camera series of Samsung the other day. *_* I asked my Dad to buy it for me, but he said we should just buy a dSLR. It’s true, but the NV series are tempting. One of them can play mp3 and video. That’s awesome. But those additional features can be done with my mp3 player. I also have the PSP, so I should stop being tempted with those. ^_^V These are what I should ask for: *lol*
The Samsung GX-10 is a twin of Pentax K10D. They have the same features. The differences are the branding on the cameras, the battery grip of K10D doesn’t fit with the Samsung GX-10 as the latter’s grip is bigger, and the price because GX-10’s cheaper than the K10D. I’ll blog more about the two next time.
Btw, since I mentioned about Innocent Life, I just remembered to ask if you guys know where to download PSP ISOs with high/good seeds? Demonoid doesn’t seem to be the place to look for games torrents.

Transformers YAY! (0 Comments)
I cancelled practice today because EJ, the trombone player, Mimi, and Jackie won’t make it YET AGAIN. My patience is almost at its limit. Please don’t let me get pissed off at you guys. It’s not only you who has to make to make sacrifices of your time. -_- I then spent my afternoon sleeping, surfing the net, checking emails, and installing Adobe Flash Pro CS3. The latter was unsuccessful. The setup file kept looking for the CD installer in which, I believe, wasn’t supposed to be asked for. I might have to buy the CD tomorrow. What’s the trial download for, Adobe!? GRRR~ You just wasted my precious download time.
Ack, I didn’t know that Ayumi Hamasaki and Nagase Tomoya dated. I only found out after reading this news regarding their break-up. I’m that behind. XP But I just knew of Nagase Tomoya after watching Tiger & Dragon recently. If I didn’t watch that, I wouldn’t have seen that pretty boy. *_* I must see more dramas with him in it.
Ugly Overload — the counterpart of Cute Overload. You should see this axolotl. It doesn’t look ugly to me. ^_^V

Airliner crashes in flames in São Paulo — It’s scary to think that this could happen. Tsk~
I stayed up until 6AM last Thursday to read the Transformers (2007) movie prequel and adaptation comics. :3 Mac, Maru, and I finally got to watch the movie the day before. I surfed about Transformers in the net when I got home and discovered that there’s a comic sequel to the movie. Thank goodness for BT. XD There are only 4 issues in both the prequel and movie adaptation. The script in the movie adaptation is slightly different. There weren’t much humor compared to the movie. But both are great to me except for the kissing scene in the movie comic adaptation. This gave me goosebumps:
>_>
Transformers – Official Movie Prequel Issue #1 is available for download via this link. If you intend to share the file, please forward them to my site or this post. The zip file is password-protected btw. The password is hyukta.net.
I’ve started watching Lucky Star a few days ago. ^_^ I’m already on episode 8 and will watch episode 9-10 later. Maybe episode 11 too once my download is done. Download speed has gone really slow recently. It’s only fast around 3AM. Because of that, I haven’t downloaded much lately. *sighs* I feel like I’m behind on a lot of anime and manga.
A sms pranskter sent me a message last week about winning a Toyota Altis + Php300,000. I deleted the message, but I remember he/she said I won last May 14, 2007 as a homepartner. O_o This is annoying. The first time I got this, the message stated that I won last April 21, 2007. XP Then I got a text from Angel Santillian asking for monetary help, so she could go to the city and get the job she was offered in Ortigas. My Mom got a message like that years ago. I think I did too. There’s also another text message inviting me to a Strategic Marketing Conference. Whoever’s selling out numbers should be beat up. GRRR~ Isn’t it enough that we already get spam in our email/s? Why through sms too!? XP Aside from Pinoys with nothing to do and sending out stupid SMS, I heard about a swindler using Friendster. GMA’s Saksi covered it. You can watch the video here. The news is in Filipino, btw. If there really is a need to send money to other people, send it via Western Union. Have it for pick-up. WU will have to ask for an ID, right? That method is safer somehow.
Miyabi’s new look? She’s now sporting a cornrow and also got her eyebrow/s shaved. O_O

Gundam 00 official site (1 Comment)
Ack, I forgot to include this in my Gundam 00 post in SASHIMI — The official site of Gundam 00 was launched last July 8, 2007 (source: Gunota Headlines.
Today’s a hot day. ~_~
I’m going to watch an episode or 2 of Lucky Star.
