A day at Manila (2 Comments)

Tuesday’s another slow and sleepy sleepy day. Staying awake during the Makati Health Development Council meeting was a challenge. X_X My stomach’s acting up too, so I feel very… Uhh… Indescribable.

I skipped work the other day to get my college diploma and file for an alumni ID. I don’t know how long the security will excuse me for not having one. *lol* Jan was also with me because after the Mapua task, I would accompany her to Manila City Hall. Something was going on in Mapua when we entered the Intramuros gate nearest to the school. Then I remembered Maru telling me that Mapua’s Foundation Week was starting then.



I was getting stares because I was wearing shorts. ^_^V I dislike wearing pants because it makes my legs sweat and I feel like lumpia. Me and Jan could blend in with the students, but the shorts gave it away — that we’re just visitors. *lol* Dammit, there were so many kids around. My eyes had a feast. Hrhr~



When I was still studying there, I never got the chance to walk around during foundation week. I either went straight to class then home or I was too busy with the band. One time I let an ex-boyfriend with me and we got to walk around for a bit. It’s rather sad to go alone in such affair. Anyway, we only wanted to buy shawarma. *lol* There was a school organization that held a car show during foundation week. I was excited at first. The excitement got crushed when someone told me that you’d see almost the same car. The rest of the students though were excited about the car models. >_>



I saw two cute boys. I was able to make eye contact with one. Hrhr~ Jan didn’t see either and LOL’d when I told her about the eye contact. I told her that if you wanna make eye contact, you gotta do something seductive with your tongue. Snake-like tongue movement. *rofl* We were laughing so loud near the classrooms not caring that we were just visitors. Man, how I miss being a student. ^_^ Maybe I should pursue creative writing before classical guitar lessons. *pokes Jan*

Anyway, the trip to Manila was only beneficial to me. Jan didn’t get to do anything for her birth certificate and passport papers due to lack of documents. *shakes head* We might have to go back again soon. After inhaling the Manila pollution, we went to Glorietta to meet up with Phoebe for our spa. We also met up with one of her friends who’s in a dilemma and I find myself being relied on to for it. =_=

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 semi-productive. ^_^V Then this cough… Goodness, my throat hurts really bad. Drinking and eating is becoming painful. *sniffs* I hope this cough goes away. My body could hardly take it.

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.

Last week on Shabby’s life (0 Comments)

:sing: I should get that breakfast table (or whatever you call it) from my parent’s room. I’m going to become a hunchback if I keep typing with this laptop on my bed and me slouching. Ugh~

Last week has been semi-busy for me. ^_^ Last Monday’s the first day of school in Mapua. I drove there (with no problems luckily because I have poor eyesight haha~), arrived at around 10:30AM, and lined up in the Customer Service to ask for a certification that my Dad had been asking me to get. He wants it while we wait for my transcript that will take 2-3 weeks to process. The certification is just an official letter from school I have taken all the major courses and only have the thesis to finish. After about 30 minutes, thank goodness to my trustee mp3 player that made my wait less boring, I was able to talk to the lady in charge. I asked if they could give me the certification. She didn’t know what I was talking about. She checked the list of what records they provide for the students, but didn’t seem to find what I want. She told me to talk to our program registrar. I went there, seeing a really long line, I asked my Dad through SMS if I could just email the head registrar. He told me to try to get it that day. It was so hot and noisy that I thought I would faint. When I got to speak to the registrar, all she said is that she can’t give me a certification because I still have a continuing course. That is the thesis. ~_~ She probably thought I was asking for the usual certifications they give. Dammit. I wish they’d listen properly. She said I should just wait for my transcript. *sigh* I haven’t told my Dad yet. He’s going to be pissed even though it’s not entirely my fault. I also think they wouldn’t give me the certification he’s asking about because they will only give what they could get money out of.

Man, I was lucky I got to talk to her before their lunch break. The assistants of every program registrar should take an early lunch and have them do the task while the registrars take their break. ~_~ I pity the students who do not get to make it. You waited long and you have to wait longer for their lunch break to be over. In spite of being a technical school, enrolling there is always a pain. The lines are always long even until the first week of school every term! For this term’s first week, the only change I saw is that they accept CREDIT CARDS. Finally! If they accepted that before, I would have paid with less worries. I wouldn’t have to worry about the cash or checks I bring. XP The school’s turned into a mall. They have a customer service and they accept credit cards. ^_^V

After that, I went home, had lunch, waited for Mac before going on a joyride with him and Mang Ed. *lol* I was so tired when we got home. I blame those 2 lines I went through. Even though you only have to stand up the entire time, it’s still tiring. I guess impatience and irritability consumes a lot of energy. *lol* We camwhored and watched a few episodes of Frisky Dingo while we ate sausages. He left before 11PM. Then I tried to work on our thesis paper.

About Frisky Dingo, thanks to Jen for blogging about it before, you guys should also watch it. It’s hilariously stupid. XD Xander Crews is a major jerk. Killface is… Really out of this world. ^_^V The episodes are only 11 minutes each, so it won’t take you forever to watch it. ^_^

Tuesday to Thursday, I stayed at home doing the paper and minor stuff including those I mentioned in my previous post. I wanted to go to school last Thursday, but decided I’ll go on Friday. The schedule of my payment was last Friday, October 4. I didn’t want to go out 2 days in a row. I’m lazy and I’m scared of the sun. HAHAHAHAHA~ I asked Mac that we meet up by 9 or 10AM, but I slept in late. I woke up by 10:30AM. ^_^V Sorry, Mac! We met up after lunch, got my money at Western Union, then I went to school. It’s already Friday and the line at the Customer Service was still effin’ long. Thank goodness my thesis groupmate Sylvan was there. It would have been really boring if I were alone. -_- Mac hanged out and played with my PSP at McDonald’s while he waited for me. It took me hours to be able to leave school. I had to talk to my thesis groupmates. I was pissed off because I feel like we’re going nowhere. Some of my groupmates aren’t really into it. *gah* Fucking thesis. >_<

I’ve heard about the issue of Teri Hatcher’s character in Desperate Housewives. I can’t believe that a non-educational show (nothing like National Geographic or Discovery Channel series/shows) will get noticed badly like that. ^_^V When she said, “… before we go any further, can I check those diplomas because I just wanna make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines,” I thought she meant a school that isn’t widely known for its medical teaching. Before I go on, it won’t be too long anyway, I am not talking about this because I want to attract replies or visitors. This isn’t for a short-time net fame. ~_~ Nor am I not being ‘di-makabayan.’ All of us have their share of opinions and this is mine. Reading entries about this subject and the flood of replies is kind of funny, actually. The offended people will rant on and on, wanting the blogger to side with them. That’s fine, but if you start insulting them in the slightest way is not nice.

Moving on… I have to agree with Sassy Lawyer. I won’t go into details of what she said. Go read her post instead. If this is discrimination or a racist comment to you, then we discriminate fellow Filipinos with regards to their school. I hear some people say that person A is no good at this because he/she only graduated at this school. Whereas person B would be fit for this job (whatever that may be) because he/she came from this school. Oh well, this may not make any sense to you. It’s 5:14AM (as I type this), I only had less than an hour of sleep, and I’m effin’ hungry. Also, there’s an issue on Burma that should be taken more notice of than some TV series.



Unfortunately, I’m days late on posting that graphic. *sighs*

Photo-post coming later, I hope. I need a quick sleep before I get ready to our early Sunday mass.

During breaks (1 Comment)

I’m hungry. ;_;

In between writing our paper (or trying to because my mind goes blank most of the time — it gets confusing you see), I go on breaks finishing other on my to-do list. ^_^
1. Putting up more than half of 36 Moon’s gallery + rotating images on all pages.
2. Reviewing/Blogging episodes 4-11 of Hataraki Man.
3. Moving old posts at Tabulas (I have to know how to delete entirely my account there) to my VOX account.
4. Burning aby’s stuff.

Not much, but since I did them in-between breaks, it took me days to finish 2 of them and a night for one. *lol* Oh, I also play Innocent Life with the PSP. I’m already on the second winter. It’s so cute and fun. I can’t wait to get horses (if I do get them) and meet the last sprite. :sing: Having the Monsoon WC makes it a lot easier to water plants. O_O Once I’m done with this, maybe I should get to finish FFVII with the PSP. Hmm…

I apologize for the previous angry post with the huge, red letters. I just got annoyed with telling me to remove this post and another one of the same topic from Google and any other search engine. I ended up having search engines NOT TO INDEX MY SITE. There goes what should be my way of having more visitors. >_< I am annoyed. *sighs* I’ll have to re-index the domain by next year, I guess.

I got to eat and be ready for school. I have to get my completion grade and talk again to the CE-EnSE registrar. I was planning on a photo-post, but Mac might get pissed off again. ^^; I set a meeting time of 9AM, but I slept in ’til 10:30AM. ^_^V

On Vox: K. Wasabi pic spam! XD (2 Comments)

I spent most of my afternoon editing and re-uploading pictures of K. Wasabi from the past and now. There are still some I still have to edit, but will do that some other time.

I want to be thin (4 Comments)

Yoon Eun Hye, when did you get so thin?



She’s now a model for Levi’s. ~_~

I spent these past few days at home except last September 12. I went out with Mac to search for LEAH DIZON’s Destiny Line album. It was on Tokyograph and Wikipedia that her first album will be released on that date. GRR~ I had no luck. I only saw Utada Hikaru’s albums. Tower Records and M1 are… LAME. ^^; I’m thinking of ordering it online, but I’m worried as to whether or not it will reach me in good condition. I’ve been paranoid/scared of the PO ever since they tried to charge me in DOLLARS. Yes, DOLLARS! Gawd~!

Our thesis is still, hmm, going nowhere. ^_^V Well, we’ve finally come up with a better proposal paper. But since we decided on changing locations, the professor is asking for validity with the strategy we want to use which is rather confusing for us because that is what we will be defending! Asking for that before we could defend it on the finals kind of already defeats the purpose of our thesis. What the heck? They’re asking for a TABLE which is most likely because they want to skip reading all the paragraphs we came up with and I even had to edit a number of times. >_< Our thesis is about environmental assessment. The strategy we want to do hasn’t been used in the country, for what we know. It’s been used in other developing countries and we want to show them this could be used here too. Since they’re very much clueless on our thesis, they’re like, “WHAT??? WE DON’T UNDERSTAND.” I’m guessing it would be less trouble if we make a thesis out of another thesis because it seems other groups like that get approved with no worries. WTH.

I’m now only relying on Jay. One of our groupmates pissed me off. He sent me a message last Friday asking if we (minus him) passed forms for approval in the final defense since the deadline is on that day. I thought, “Aren’t you part of the group too?” Plus, me and Jay aren’t in school everyday to know what’s going on with the thesis. It’s like he’s asking us to do things without him. When Jay talked to him last Saturday, Jay told me that he hardly cared and admitted he can’t give time for the thesis. So, we have to sacrifice ourselves just for him. Eff. >_< There are so many people pissing me off lately that it’s not healthy anymore. My head hurts a lot with these BS.

Anyway, on to _happier_ things… I watched Romeo x Juliet episodes 17 to 18. I didn’t want to watch RxJ to be honest. Juliet’s drama annoyed me, but these episodes were good enough. It made me want to see the next episodes asap. *lol* For those who hasn’t seen this anime yet, Romeo’s a farmer already. ^_^V Go watch! *lol*

I’ll make another post tonight. I’ll play Innocent Life or Lumines first as I want for my Murder Princess ep. 5 download to finish.

What happened to Shabby (0 Comments)

It feels like months since the last time I posted here. Well, I mean a decent post. All I’ve been doing lately is plugging sites. ^_^V

We had our defense last Friday. The panelists suddenly posted the schedule either the night before or that morning. We were hardly prepared for it. DAMN THEM! I went to school in a hurry because we had a band practice scheduled that afternoon. Our schedule was broken because of that damn defense. I was worried the panelists would hardly understand the idea of our thesis which happened in the end. One of the panelists who’s not even an engineer and the dean’s secretary started throwing questions at us without letting us finish our presentation. I was very, very pissed that I could hardly find the right words to fight back at her. That was kind of good because our thesis might end up rejected if I did. XP I apologize to Mac for semi-venting my anger on him and to my bandmates too. ^^; So, yeah, we had a gig last Saturday at Greenvine Bar, Malate. It’s too bad none of my friends came (yes, NONE!). Only Rolly, Randy, and Jackie’s friend and cousin watched. Oh, Jozen was there, but I didn’t invite him. He doesn’t count. *lol* His bandmates were there, so that’s why. Very much thanks to Rolly for taking pictures of us! I should have taught you how to record a video with the digicam. Haha~ But the pictures were extremely good. I will have to sort through them though before I upload. :sing:

The following day, Phoebe contacted me about the news of Princess’ sister, Venus, who just died that weekend. It was shocking, very shocking news. Venus is only 3 years older than me. I met and knew of her back in high school because she also attended the same school as her sister and I. She’s very cute and she looks so sweet. Thinking back on our high school days, it’s hard to believe that in just a few years this happened. She’s still so young. ;_;
I know we know this already, but I want to reiterate… We always have to live fully everyday. We should enjoy the things we have because we don’t know when our time’s up. Take care also of your health, everyone.

We had problems with our internet connection last Monday. It started around 2AM. The connection fluctuated twice until we were totally disconnected. I was in a hurry downloading stuff. I think Globe only let me finish tweaking most of the Blast’s site before they cut it off. I called their customer service the following morning. There was a record about having internet problems in the Makati area. I messaged Jhan since she lives in Makati and also a Globe subscriber. She said they didn’t have problems. GRRR~ >_< Connection came back after a day. I was about to leave then for the dentist. I also had the laptop ready because I needed to do work and research. Plans changed again because of that. My scheduled plans always break for these kind of things. ~_~ Oh, my dentist visit is for the continuation of my root canal. I don’t know how many ‘things’ (sorry, I don’t know what they’re called) they placed on my tooth. My tooth was really dead as I felt nothing at first. It only hurt when they accidentally hit something. Probably a nerve or my gums. *shrugs*
