LONG roundup of 2009 [Part 2/2] (1 Comment)
Lately I feel so lost with no hope nor motivation. This is a very delayed hangover from October of 2009.
I know our life purpose is for self-fulfillment, but I can’t seem to be content for that reason alone. This is loneliness speaking, I believe. Seems there’s no point to work hard if there’s no one to share or devote our achievements. I’m sure there are others feeling that way. Anyway, enough about that. I have no one but myself. I am my own comedy character. ~_~ Thank you to those who took the time to read the first part. This is the second and last of the 2009 roundup post. Advance apologies for the lengthiness. ^_^V

Revoltech Arch Gurren Lagann (2 Comments)
Early August, I reserved for a Revoltech Gloomy Bear as a birthday gift to myself. I ended up with an Arch Gurren Lagann because the store overlooked my reservation and sold off all their stocks of the Gloomy Bear. -_- Contacting the shop was such a headache. Their contact number and email addresses were of no use. I had to ask some contacts a way to get in touch with the shop or its owners. Thank goodness somebody was able to help. Thanks also to Plurk or I might still be at lost today.

Revoltech Yotsuba (2 Comments)
I have been wanting this for ages, so I bought it on one payday after seeing it in a nearby toyshop. If you haven’t read the Yotsubato! manga, then you should. You’d wish your future daughter would be like her. She’s the cutest character I’ve come across.
Still in the box

Videcon’s over! WEEE~ + RICKY! :D (1 Comment)
So John Legend’s gonna have a concert on the 26th. D: I’m not a big fan, but I like one of his songs. :3
Let’s make love
Let’s go somewhere they might discover us
Let’s get lost in lust
XDDD
Last week was intense. Work-wise. Days and nights were spent working on climate change. If you’ve been following my Plurk, you’d notice that was what I frequently posted about. ~.~ March 6 finally came… After numerous revisions of the presentation and speech plus hair strangling. Things went smoothly to say the least. Atty. Seva did a good job with her presentation and she managed to answer all the questions (even if some were hard to understand like the Australians *lol*).
Some of those who joined us thought I’m a staff of AIM. They looked for handouts of the Australian speaker from me when all I did was give copies of OUR presentation. *facepalms* Up to there I still had to do errands. ^_^V Oh well, exercise-exercise. *lol* I was fortunate I didn’t trip since I wore my ‘dangerous’ sandals. >_>
It’s a great relief getting that done with and even more so when the boss thanked us. ^^ The embarrassing part was having to apologize to the WB and AIM people about the frequent changing and sending of presentation. At least they don’t know who’s been emailing them. Haha~
When Jan and I went to Greenhills lat week, I met and fell in love at first sight with a cutie named Ricky. This Ricky kept on calling me even — when Jan and I were looking at makeup and netbooks and while eating HK noodles. It was disturbing, but rather cute. XD; I told myself not to give in to temptation. Jan hardly helped at all because all she said was to decide wisely! *facepalms* Oh well, in the end I gave in. ^_^V
MEET RICKY. XDDD
Gawd, he’s so cute that I totally ignored Yotsuba-chan and bought him instead. *rofl*

What I should I buy? Help? (2 Comments)
It’s the end of the internet. D:
*gah* I can’t believe reading LJ flists has become a task. I even had to include that in my planner. ~_~ It’s the fault of PLURK — ruining my habit of checking forums and reading LJ flists. Also, my ISP doesn’t seem to like LJ or LJ has become buggy. Most of the time, user icons won’t show making my friends’ pages look dull (sorry!). So I started reading my flist earlier and I realized I’ve missed a lot of posts. Why do LJ keep a minimum of posts in flists!? Damn them! If only I can access friends-only posts in Google Reader, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Two weeks ago, I got new glasses (for my astigmatism). The lens grade of my left eye had to be increased again. My Dad said I should get new frames and just have the left lens of the old frames changed. The old one will be left at work while the new (and red) one I’ll be using often. ^_^ Dad said the new frames lack “formality.” Haha~ That’s me in the pic with my new glasses. CHU! (I apologize for the crappy picture. I used my very old webcam. *lol*)Last week I had an appointment in a construction firm. The one who set the appointment apparently filed a leave for the day and I had to speak to someone else. That is of no problem, but I’d prefer to talk to the person who set the appointment or if she told me earlier that she won’t be at the office. I got there just on time. But they made me wait for 2 EFFIN’ HOURS. WTF!? The person I talked to gave this arrogant feeling. She didn’t address me as an engineer though I believe she should have because of obvious reasons. That meeting wasn’t a barkada gimmick or whatever. ~_~ We discussed something about money. She snickered when I pronounced the number “3.” Why? Because I can hardly pronounce it right with my retainers on. HOW RUDE! I don’t want to see her face anymore or I might b!tchslap her. GRR~
For my birthday, I got myself a:
Keroro Gunsou DX-01 Plamo
Haven’t gotten to assembling even a single character. I decided I should take this plamo building seriously because these stuff don’t come cheap. ^_^V I need a model or wire cutter or at least a nipper. I’m thinking of hand-painting these, but spray point seems a better option. Airbrushing would be the best choice, but that’s too expensive.
A family acquaintance will be coming to visit from Japan. His name’s Peter, he hangs out 24/7 at Tokyo-U (I think he teaches there), and has a project here in the Philippines (through ADB or WB). We met him through my Dad who invited him over for lunch months ago. He’s cute, btw. HAHHAHAHAHAH~ XDDD; He has a lot of achievements considering his age. I think he hasn’t even reached 30. D: Anyway, yes, he will be coming over and he asked my Dad if there’s anything I want him to buy for me. :DDD I have to pay him, of course. *lol* I WANT SUGGESTIONS, LOVELIES!!!
I want these stuff (listed by priority):
Real Type Dororo Robo and Real Type Keroro Robo — Â¥700@
DX-03 Team Keroro Mk.II God Keron — Â¥4500
(This is way over my budget though)
Revoltech DMC3 Dante — Â¥1900
Big Sergeant Keroro — Â¥14800
(Way, way, way over my budget!)
I also want these, but production has been discontinued.
Anyway, I need suggestions. I’m thinking of getting films as well and an Ikimono camera. But both can be bought here albeit slightly more expensive.

I still can’t believe it *lol* (0 Comments)
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
JOSE, PACIFICO JR RAFANAN
LAGTO, FRANCIS EREÑO
LIM, MARICAR BELAMIDE
OPLADO, J P NEIL SARMIENTO
PICCIO, JOSEPH III CAMACHO
QUINSAY, MARK LEONARD GAWARAN
TAN, NEIL RYAN CO
TUAZON, JOSE MARIUS RETINIO
VALERO, KARLA CRISTINA CALUPE
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!

Blog Action Day + anime figures (0 Comments)
Tsk, I missed Blog Action Day.
I wanted to share an article on American Photo. The title is “13 Ways to be a Greener Photographer.” There is also an article about “How Photography Can Save the Planet.” They’re great reads and the pictures are awesome too. Some animals were given sudden attention because of some photographers who show the wonders of the world and that there is a need to preserve them. Well, I could blog about them next time. I only feel that the post will be ignored because it would be posted on a NON-Blog Action Day. Get what I mean? ~_~
Having a hangover last week over Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, I was looking through different sites about reviews and products on the anime. (Btw, I just got chapter 1 of its manga.
) I found out that there might be a possible next season. This is the article from TheOtaku.com:Gainax’s uber-epic tv series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is a mere smattering of hours away from its final episode– or is it? Gainax’s website offers a small sampling (a single image) from a project titled Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Shisen Genshikou. It’s not entirely clear to me what the project is just yet, but what IS clear is that it will take place in the same universe as Gurren Lagann. And frankly, that’s good enough for me! -Gia
I hope someone could give me more information about it. ^_^ Then I found this awesome Great Impact Gurren-Lagann figure:
The legs look like those old-skool mecha. ^_^V I feel tempted in getting this. But I should re-organize my room in such a way I could display all the mecha me and my brother got. ^_^ Then I could brag about my not-anymore-boring room. *lol*
That’s weird. The figure was only about $150 the first time I saw it.
The Yotsuba-chan figure was released just last September 27. ^_^ Heisei Democracy posted a lot of pictures of it. :DDD
She doesn’t look cute like puppies, pandas, or little babies, but if you read the manga you’ll understand why. ^_^ There are also more pictures at GA Graphic. I forgot from where I got to know of those sites.
