Upcoming Elections

Honestly I never thought much about the coming elections; I never saw the reason to. I mean Villar just irritates me to death with his commercials, never considered Erap, I don't think Noynoy is ready yet, I only heard about Gordon from others, didn't think much about Gibo since he was associated with PGMA, and as for the others, I didn't know much about them.

I'm probably what you'd call a lazy Filipino citizen when it comes to the upcoming elections. I never got the urge to research on the candidates even though I had thought of doing it. All this time I was undecided and was simply basing my future choice from what I see and what I hear from other people.

But despite being such an awful Filipino citizen up until a while ago, I guess being unbiased to any of the other candidates helped me read through the whole blog my older sister sent me. The content was about Gilbert Teodoro.

It was a good read and I'm actually quite convinced. So from having absolutely no one in mind, I have a likely candidate now. However, I still can't say completely if he'll be the president I'll vote for.

The blog post about Gibo is here.

It Feels Heavy

It's been so long since I've blogged. Everything, no everyday, seems to be practically the same old-same-old that I have nothing to write here. I've been the type of person who thinks into things too much so I've always been debating whether I should blog about it or not. And most of the time I choose not to. Multiply is a BIG NO. I somehow feel embarrassed to blog there. If I did everyone would read them, people I know. And somehow I can't seem to deal well with that. I think I still feel traumatic about what happened in high school between me and my friends, that I can't seem to do anything without thinking anymore.

-sigh-

I just cleaned out my inbox from the mails I got from multiply and facebook. And I just couldn't help but blog. I don't want to deny that I am envious of my friends. The only thing I'm proud of right now is my tablet that I got as a graduation gift from my parents. I love it and I use it a lot, but I can't help but want more. I don't think it's wrong to want more, it is, after all natural for all of us to want things. But it's just that the topic of wanting, no asking, for a camera is something I can no longer ask or joke about with my parents. It's not that I've given up on wanting one, it's just that there are much more important things to be taken care of first. I'm not saying this because it's what I should say, I mean I still crave to hold one of it from time to time, but I just can't stand to hear another heavy sigh. I've survived a quarter without one and only with a digicam, I think I can still survive the next with just that, no..I have to.

I know I'll eventually get to own one, maybe just not right now. And maybe I should concentrate more on improving my drawings. I'll get to own one when the time comes, I know I will. But I guess right now I'll have to go for a goal that I can achieve, one that does not require me to depend on my parents.

For now, I'll just have to continue on looking at the Olympus E-620 DSLR everyday. I'll own one someday, I know I will. :)

NEW Craving

Rawr! So, now it's August and that means I am no longer a Frosh(since July pa..). XD

Haha..
Anyway, that now means that the photography course can be taken. One downside though, I don't have a SLR or a DSLR. They said that the first photography course was learning how to use an SLR (But it turned out our professor was ok with us using digital ones. He said he won't be teaching us technical stuff, but about concept.).

Well, we show up for the class and get our first homework. Our professor said that it was to assess how we are at photography and how much we learned from the video he showed us.

The next time our class met, he gave us another homework, our first 'serious' homework. He asked us to take pictures of objects that form all the letters in the alphabet.

We were like, "Ok." and left.

Now for the connection of this entry to the title. XD

Everyone was excited for the photography class, and so there they were buying cameras for them to use. I've always wanted one, but I can't have one.

I pretty much stood on the sideline with all these shopping spree for cameras by my classmates, but the announcement of our first 'serious' assignment made me even more determined to ask for a camera.

So I tried, eben though I knew I wouldn't get one that easily(we're not well off like my classmates are..>.<). Still, I gave it a shot. i got what I expected the talk about not having enough papers to buy one. I asked for a Nikon D40, but was turned down, they said it was too expensive. Now, my dad suggests I go check out Olympus since he thought that it would be more affordable. I did and found one that I really liked, Olympus E-620. Turned out, though, that it was a lot more expensive than the D40. But when I looked at the specs and compared it to Nikon and Canon, it really was more affordable. ---- Olympus E-620 Image from here.

Wish I had more 'papers'

Unfortunately my summer break will soon come to an end. I'll be going back to school on Monday, the 20th of April. I'm not saying that my summer was boring, it was actually quite productive. I thank Facebook, partially, for that. I got to improve my drawing and am now taking care of a virtual dog, so yeah, my summer so far is doing good.

Now I'm craving for new games to play, not that the ones in Facebook were boring. I miss playing otome games, so I went online to look for some. I've had my eye on a few for a while now, such as Ouran Koukou Host Club(DS) and Will O' Wisp(DS). I'm not sure of the story line of Will O' Wisp yet since I couldn't find any reviews of the game, but I'm inlove with the art. XD

I've only set my mind on getting otome games in the DS, but now I've thought of looking into PC otome games as well. I've already heard of Da Capo Girl's Symphony, though I'm not all that interested in playing or looking for the game. What interested me, however, was Garnet Cradle and Asaki Yumemishi. Again, I love the art. (lol..it seems what gets me to look into the games is their art..) Aside from those two, I just saw the opening of Starry Sky and, yes, I fel inlove with it as well.

It's pretty hard to get good games here and I don't have enough 'papers'(if you know what I mean) to even buy one. It seems that I'll have to graduate first and get a job before I can fully enjoy them.XD

Worst

8:54 AM

Officially the worst day of my life. First I woke up really late then scratched myself while cleaning my glasses and now I just got home from the bus terminal, still shaking from the hold up incident. Everything was already out of my routine, I guess I should have been expecting something worse. One weird thing about it is that I feel like I had a dream about it last night. Except it wasn't in a jeep, it was in a bus and it wasn't my cellphone that was taken from me, but my money. -sigh-

I really want to sleep right now, but I'm currently too scared to close my eyes. I keep recalling what happened to me and that gun that the man took out. He didn't aim it at me, but it still scared the hell out of me. They dropped me of just before the Coke Plant and from there I rode a tricycle to the bus station. I was glad to see a familiar face when I got there. I immediately approached the kid dispatcher and asked if he had a cellphone. He didn't so he directed me to the Controller of BBL. Once there, I started to cry while asking if I could borrow a cellphone so I text home. Everyone was very nice to me at the terminal, specially the controller. He made sure that I was comfortable and kept on comforting me on how I should be grateful that it was just my cellphone that they took from me. I am grateful, I truly am, but I still can't help but miss my phone. I kept a lot of dear text messages in there like 'I Love You' messages from my family and 'Thank you' messages from my friends.

I didn't go to school after that. My cousin picked me up from the bus terminal and took me home. It's not like I didn't want to go to school, but right now I'm too scared to go anywhere else but home.

Anyway, I'll go and continue looking for games, read manga and continue my oil painting to get my mind off what happened.

Ouran Parody-Hanegasaki Gakuen Host Club

I just love this video!!

I'm a complete Ouran fan and, now, a Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side:2nd Kiss so this video was just really REALLY awesome! XD

I first found this in a photobucket account when I was looking for pictures of Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side(TMGS):2nd Kiss in google. The link brought me to a photobucket account and I saw the video. I was so shocked to see the TMGS characters as the characters of Ouran. the video was only very, i mean very, short though. Nevertheless, I still loved it.

And then I found the complete video in youtube and I just couldn't help but post it. XD

Addicted to YUU!

Friday, December 26, 2008
6:06 PM

Lame title..haha.. Anyway, I was referring to Otonari Yuu, my neighbor in this game I'm currently VERY addicted to.

Grrrrr..!!! I'm still all fidgety and stuff just remembering the game. LOL! I'm as weird and random as ever.

Okaaaayyyy.... Going far back to how it actually started, it was gift giving time early in the morning of December 25 (past 12 midnight counts as early in the morning, right? XD). I wasn't really expecting much since I knew that we were having troubles with a few things. I opened my gifts, which in total were only three, and didn't expect anything else.

After everyone had opened their gifts, my older sister and brother then asked me to sit with my sister and close our eyes. While we did as we were told, I could hear them excited about something. After they calmed down, they finally asked us to open our eyes. WOOT! Right before our eyes was A BOX of Nintendo DS Light. They reminded us to open the box first before reacting, so we did. Inside was my older sister's awesome card game, SET. I was like, "OMG! SET!". I didn't notice that it was actually my older sister's and it was just a joke to trick us and all. My older brother then handed us a paper bag of BAYO and inside was the actual NDSL with its charger and extra stylus and strap. It actually took a bit of time for me to actually take it all in. My younger sister was already crying and then I could feel that I was tearing as well. It wasn't long when I was crying with my sister. Tears of joy as they say!

Really, it was a shock! I didn't expect that my younger sister's continuous nagging, I mean reminder, for a Nintendo DS Light actually worked. I wonder if it would work for me too if I keep on nag~ err... asking them fro a DSLR. haha! Gah! It was all so...so...nice. Even my mother teared when she saw us crying. I mean, to me, just us spending the Christmas together was enough. I was already way happy when my older brother finally got home. I am not saying that just because its nice to hear or read, I was truly already very happy when the whole family was complete. I guess that good and happy feeling I've been having for the past days before Christmas was also because of the surprise my older brother and sister did.

The NDSL wasn't just for me and my younger sister, it was for everyone in the family. It was really nice to see that even my mother and my cousin was playing.

------------

Let's see, well I didn't exactly sit down and play yet after we got the NDSL. I was just watching my younger sister and the others play. It was just last night when I really, and I mean REALLY play. The moment it all sunk in, I remember about otome games. I found out about them while I was browsing the net and I stumbled upon Hiiro no Kakera. I wasn't really familiar with them yet, so I did more digging in. I searched for otome games in general since I didn't have anything in mind yet. I found Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side:1st Love and fell in love with the graphics so I decided to give it a try. I found one but when I loaded it, it didn't work. I was depressed. So I decided to try the 2nd installment, Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side:2nd Kiss. Success! It worked. It took me ages to finish just my name. Haha..It was all in Japanese so I had our trusty Japanese-English dictionary right beside me(mapapa self-study ako ng di oras..haha!). So I got it done and I was off to play. I started at around 8 ( I know 'cause my younger sister told me to stop at around 10, but it still didn't end up that way..XD) and stopped for a while at around 1:06 am. I packed it up and brought it upstairs when I saw that my older sister was still up. I continued to play until past 2 am. I told you, I'm ADDICTED!! Bwahahahaha...and now I'm itching to play again!

Hariya-kun!!!!!!!!!!
