Whoa, can't believe I didn't go online for three consecutive days... So little time, so much to tell. XD
Last Friday, well, let's just say I got uber-lucky. Like, really lucky. Of course I won't tell what happened, 'coz it's somewhat... wrong. *chuckles* Life is good. :)
We went to Bagac, Bataan the next day. Well it kinda ruined my schedule for a good shopping spree (lol), but it was alright. It's nice to see nature's beauty once in a while; we saw the seaside, forests, and even mountains. Pretty neat huh, an all-in-one deal. XD Good thing we didn't slide off the cliff with our crappy car.
When we got home, we watched I, Robot. Great movie, I suggest you watch it. XD My favo chara is a lone NS-5 robot. Heheh. 'Coz he does whatever Kage-maru (Virtua Fighter) does. Ten-foot drop, back flips, spinning attack (the ->-> P+K thing)... Haha sorry, it's a VF gamer's thing. Anyhoo, whatever, he's is mucho cool. XD He can kick the Terminator's ass anytime.
I found two great Da Vince Code games in the Internet, but I stopped halfway on both games because I'm still halfway along the book. XD You know, the last stage might be a spoiler or something, so I stopped. But whatever, you have to try those games, whether you've read the book or not, and feel as if you're Robert Langdon. Haha. Here are ze links:
The DaVince Code: Uncover The Code
The DaVince Code Web Quest
Trust me, both games are great, I just liked the second one better.
Well I won't discuss about the books (DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons) right now, because am not in the mood. Frankly I'm a little disappointed to people who say that those books are blasphemous and all. Bullshit. For one thing, the ideas of a truth beyond the grasp of our religion have already occured to me before - even years ago. So the contents of the books doesn't surprise me that much, except for the details of it of course.
Also, saying that those books are fiction - is also crap. Come on', they're based on factual stuff. The only fictitious thing are the events and characters. It's like a way of unconciously blocking yourself from the exposure of what the truth really is, because it's considered a sin in our religion.
*sigh* Then again, nobody really knows what the truth is.
I'd like to expand more on this stuff, but I'm getting a little hungry. I'll do it later, haha. :D
Hmm... why am I always fascinated with this kind of stuff? Yep, I have new stuff to do online again. Got this from a friend of mine, and tried it. The Kingdom of Loathing. It's an RPG thingamajig, but it's in HTML. Yeah. Fun, huh? Try it. My handle is 'nekomon', a level 3 Puffin Intimidator (I just started playing a while ago). Funny names alright. It's full of BS actually, but it mostly does the job for people who couldn't find anything else better to do. Like moi.
We played pool two nights ago, for two straight hours. Right. My backside still hurts a little (yesterday it was in its worst condition), and so is my elbow. I may have lost a significant number of racks to my brother, but I'm glad to say I have improved. Yes, you heard it. Improved. Miraculously. Guess why? Due to that WPC thing. Observation is a good thing. I got better by watching other pool players strut their stuff, and I, uh, learned the strut. Now I can successfully hit long shots down the drain now, back then I always miss the damn ball. Haha. Chang Pei Wei's technique isn't bad after all. We were wondering why he never misses a damn shot (so does the other Taiwanese players), be it an easy one or not. We thought they just arranged the pool arena with lots of feng shui techniques. My bad, my bad. Haha.
I just watched Maroon 5's video for She Will Be Loved yesterday. As much as I disliked the band (due to, of course, being a big hit), I hafta say the video's pretty neat. Plus, I liked the song back then. The story (in the video) is about a guy torn between two lovers - a mom and her daughter. Neat-o plot huh? Little spoiler here... the guy picked the mom *gasp*. Know why? Because she's Kelly Preston, dammit. Elvis' wife. Btw, the guy is the vocalist. And I hafta say he looked somewhat like Joseph Fiennes in that video. Teeheehee. Oh well, I still don't like him for being such a stuck-up twerp. But he's still a little good-looking. *thinks* No wait, stuck-up. *thinks again* No, good-lookin'. *pause* Stuck-up. *another pause* Good-lookin'. Stuck-up. Good-lookin'. Stuck-up. Good-lookin'. Stuck-up. Good-lookin'. Stuck... *echoes*
current mood: happy! :D ...kinda. o_o

Yesterday, we went to Abi's house. Actually we went to the mall first. Always count me to be late, so yeah I was. At the arcades, I saw somebody playing Soul Calibur 2. Well, I wanted to challenge him but my friends pulled me out of the area, thinking I'd play long hours in the arcade again. o_o; Anyhoo, at Abi's house, we just watched Kung Pow (...horny old bastard Master Tang). I didn't enjoy the movie much, maybe because I'm sleepy. Later on, we played lotsa flash games and stuff in her PC. Good thing is, after searching for the Crimson Room link, we found out that the sequel, Viridian Room, is already out! >:D
Crimson Room is somewhat like MOTAS, but a lot more frustrating with only one room to escape from. Play it here, I commend you to do so. XD It's been already a year or so since I got hooked on it, so it's kinda cool to find that it already has a sequel. Plus, I got frustrated that I couldn't find any mystery games after finsihing MOTAS.
The sequel, Viridian Room, is a LOT harder and MORE frustrating than its predecessor. Oh yeah, a lot more freaky
too. >_> It took me two hours or so to finish it. You'd find items and all, but unlike the first one, you wouldn't get the slightest clue on where to use it, until later of course. It'll really drive you nuts! Well if you want to go insane (at least for a while), you could play the game here. But I suggest you to finish Crimson Room first.
On to the other stuff. Last night was the finals for the World Pool Championship. And it's good stuff. XD My brothers and I couldn't even watch the freakin' game because Chang was leading. When it came to 11-5, Pagulayan got his chance and POW! 11 all. I couldn't remember the other details after that coz I was playing Viridian Room. All I know is, it came to 13 all and Pagulayan got the chance again and finally beat the crap out of Chang with a 17-13 win. Whew! Pagulayan got all wacky after that, and he dedicated his win to the Philippines. Yay.
Dut to the WPC craze, we'll go play pool later this evening. It's been a while since I last played, so I must be getting rusty. >_> We'd probably go play badminton too. Heehee.
current mood: :D
Finally finished transferring entries from my LiveJournal page. Well, I didn't like the free account features there, so I transferred here. Thanks to Oni/Abi for the cool layout. :D
Goodness, it's already 3am, and my friends and I are going out tomorrow. I must leave by 9am. Sheesh, time to work out my "lost-track-of-the-time" techniques.
Anyway, I liked the WPC game earlier. Too bad Johnny Archer got beaten, 'coz I was rooting for him. Damn Taiwanese crowd. >_> They messed it up for him on his last break! >_< Well, Lady Luck frowned on them, because Alex Pagulayan won splendidly against their champion, Fong Pang Chao. And I mean splendidly, because he performed great bank shots. Am looking forward to tomorrow's final match, Pagulayan versus Chang Pei Wei. Please let it be a good match.
Okay need to sleep already, I'm signing off.
current mood: frustrated. totally.

DAMMIT! Almost all of my favorite players are kicked out. Nice. The cute Russian guy is eliminated! Bustamante is also defeated! Immonen too, as well as other big guns in pool history! Tough luck for them Europeans, the Asians are flooding the Final 32 brackets.
Haha. Sometimes you gotta love Earl Strickland's arrogance. XD I just watched his short interview after his winning match against some Taiwanese player (sorry, I easily forget their names), and he just blabbered away. XD Anyhoo, he talked about age bracket, particularly about the 15 y/o kid (Wu Chia Ching) who didn't quite make it to the final 64. He said that somebody cannot possibly be a pro (especially at golf, much less billiards) at age 15. And I have to agree with him for the first frickin' time. I mean, sure I play pool as early as around 12 y/o, but heck, experience is one of the key ingredients to win this game. Well, any game for that matter. Come on, the kid doesn't even have a boasting career in his profile yet. And HE actually got guts to enter the World Pool Championship. World Championship, man. He should at least try to win the National Tournament first. Geez, now I'm sounding like Strickland.
Yes, I know you're getting tired of all this WPC crap, don't worry, two more days 'til it ends. I'll have one final rant/rave about who the winner will be, then I'll end it there. Finished.
Oh yeah, wait, I forgot to mention this. A scene from Archer's match which made me laugh. The referee guy, probably nervous or just plain absent-minded, actually placed the 9-ball on the side of the diamond as he sets up the rack. On the side of the friggin' diamond! LOL. Well, at least something made me laugh today, out of all those stupid work to be done for a friggin' minor subject.
Okay, keep the frustrations coming. My brothers went to the premiere showing of I, Robot and didn't let me tag along ('coz of damn paperwork). When they came back, they raved about how cool the movie is. Dammit. And what's more, they talked about the trailer of a new movie, Constantine, which stars Keanu reeves. Here he plays as a priest / occult investigator who kicks the demons' asses, a la Van Helsing (yep, he's doing the "Neo" moves/attitude again). Argh, there, I flipped out. I'll be watching out for that one.
current mood: chipper ^-^

First and foremost, I would like you to join our cult, MOTAS (Mystery of Time and Space).
LOL. Actually, it's a flash game. A good one though. You're mysteriously locked in a room, and must find items and crack codes and stuff to escape from the friggin' room (rooms). It's really fun, so go ahead and test your wits (and patience kekeke). Just clickie the linkie.
I was hooked on it for a while, so my friends and I decided to form a cult. All members should meet every Sundays and sacrifice a sheep in a bonfire circle at exactly the twilight hour to gain Logan's blessings. And greet each other everytime by the word, "Motas". LOL. XD (Heck, you'd be considered severely stupid if you actually think this is for real.) XD
Lalala... Oh yeah, my brothers and I keep track of the 2004 World Pool Championship in Taiwan. Aside from rooting for the filipio players and a handful of other foreign players (including Mika Immonen kekeke), I have a new one to go cheer for. Konstantin Stepanov! Man, he looked GOOD. Why do almost all of them Russians look good? (Or maybe I'm just a little biased, kekeke!) He finally kicked Wu Chia Ching's ass in the eliminations, HAHAHA! *laughs hysterically* He has my blessing. He shall not be eliminated at least until the final 32 or 16 or lower (miraculously). LOL. Well, it's quite shocking to see that some of the big names in billiards are already eliminated, but I really wanted Bustamante to get the trophy, he deserves it after all (especially a year or two ago, when his daughter died during the later part of the tournament). Musn't let Yang Ching Shun and other Taiwanese players and the ones who had already touched the trophy win. Kekekeke. Okay, I admit I'm biased so don't flame me.
Alrighty, my JRock sense is reviving. I can feel it! >:D
current mood: cranky >_<
Heck, I always cram. Why in the world do I always cram? Our group has a deadline tomorrow for Technical Writing. We have to make a title for a project proposal, find ten sources, and get an approval of an ECE professor at our faculty. Well, we have about one or two weeks to work , and yes, you guessed - we found none, even with my groupmate's "pushings". So okay, we need to work individually now. I didn't do it last Saturday and Sunday, and now Monday evening, I'm cramming. I guess it's not a big surprise then. -_-;
The thing is, I have trouble choosing a thesis title. Wireless Technology - what about it? WiFi - what about it? Ack... I hate searching through the internet for this. The search engine is the bigger labyrinth compared to a measly library. So there, I finally thought of one, no matter how crappy it is. It's about the Symbian OS. Now my only problem is how to friggin' find for sources.
Tsch. Damn school, they let you do a lot of things even if you don't need it. Or maybe I'm the only one who thinks so, hahaha. @_@ Tomorrow I still have to explain to my Sociology professor (note: Sociology - Marriage and whatnots) the atheist views on the cause of evil. And we have to read an article of the Summa Theologica for that. Whoa. It's okay though, I'm fascinated with those kind of stuff anyway. XD But the thing that it's actually Sociology and not Theology or Philosophy bugs me. -_-;
Okay, on to brighter thoughts...
I just watched Moonchild a while ago. Well, it's... bah, i dunno what to think. XD The plot is kinda... whatever, but Gackt is drool-worthy on the later part of the movie, as well as the chinese guy (fergot his name... Wang sumthin'-sumthin'). XD Alright alright, bishies aside, I'd rate the movie 3/5. The plot has a good concept; I think it's the first movie I saw which involves both vampires and the mafia/yakuza, but it's all about being human after all. Heheh, it just needed a better presentation. It's as if the script is written without a backbone, get me? @_@; It's too spontaneous and squidgy XD. Plus, the action scenes made me sleep. LOL. And Hyde made me sleep, when it comes to acting. XD But whatever, they're still bishies. I guess Gackt is the better actor. Hmm... okay okay, it actually has a good tearjerk-y story, the only flaw for me is the action scenes. Kekeke. I literally laughed at the part where Hyde evaded bullets... lying down. LOL. XD
So, the moral of the story is... better stick with your "t3h c00ln3zz" band and be cool, than stick to some squidgy-poo-action movie and act cool. Ya? Ya.
Alright, I better carry a weapon for self-defense now just in case the Gackt-Hyde mob grab their prongs and spears and go send me to a trial and burn me alive as a sacrifice for their gods.
current mood: excited. totally.
current music: Jet - Hold On
NECES (Network of ECE Students) week is coming up, and my bandmates and I are thinking about what to play in the bandfest (hopefully there will be one). I was having a hard time because all of us are girls (eat this one boys!) and I certainly don't want an Avril Lavigne in my playlist, much less The Corrs. They're not that bad actually, but I just scoff at girl power B.S. (then why the heck did I join an all-girl band, you ask. because the guys are now less enthusiastic about music now, what with all the crazy-slash-deadly math equations that face us). So we're thinking of playing the old-yet-kickass ones such as Garbage or No Doubt. Now that's cool. But the thing is, I seriously wanted to play Jet's Are You Gonna Be My Girl because it's a fun, fun song. No good though, because we would need a male vocalist. Then my brother proved it wrong. I asked for advice, and he told me to let us play the same song with a female singer. He also added that the lesbian attitude in it would tickle the male crowd. Well I thought the idea was nice, after all, our vocalist is a bisexual. LOL.
Gee, my life is a boring one. I didn't attend my one-hour Sociology class this morning. I just watched TV and cleaned the room. Then watched TV again. I even felt bored to continue playing .hack//OUTBREAK, much less Silent Hill 4 (no, I won't risk a heart attack). You know what I did? I ransacked my brothers' room to find the stack of Batman comics. Woopeedoo! I needed a lot of "refreshing ze memory". :D
Gee, Batman is my childhood hero. Or maybe, my childhood crush. Puppy love. Hahaha! XD I read the Knight's End part. Ye know, Batman (Bruce Wayne) got paralazyed from a backbreaker by Bane and he trained a new Batman (Jean Paul Valley) to defend Gotham City. After some time, Jean Paul went all nuts due to his system training program, and he took the name Azrael, devised a freaky new Batsuit (looks more of an armor) and starts killing his enemies as well as wreaking havoc all over the city (of course, killing thy enemies is the number one no-no at Batman Philosophy 101). Good timing though, Bruce got healed by then, but he needed his old skills back to stop Azrael/Jean Paul. He went to Lady Shiva, a woman who highly values honor and would kill anyone for the sake of fighting. She decided to put Bruce to the test by killing a well-reknowned sensei and lets the vengeful (and utterly skillful) students go after Bruce. There, that's where he got his snappy reflexes back. He successfully stopped Jean Paul (using his killer wits) and made him sane again. Bah, I wouldn't deal with the details anymore, this storytelling has gone way too far, hahaha! :D
Anyhoo, we're all excited about the upcoming Batman movie, it's teaser trailer will be shown at the Catwoman movie. It'll be about Bruce's story - how he became Batman and all. The cast are: Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne (hot, I tell ya), Gary Oldman as Lt. Gordon, Ken Watanabe as Ra'as Al Ghul (good choice), Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow (a little bit too good-lookin' for Scarecrow, haha). Director is Christopher Nolan, having watched his movie Memento, I think he'd give the good dark/gothic feel it deserves. We're kinda hoping it'll kick Spidey's ass (but for now, we root for Spidey). If it won't, please Lord don't make it sucky like The Hulk and The Punisher and the past Batsy movies (except the first one, the Michael Keaton one).
Tsch. I do babble a lot, don't I? I need my "shut-up" pills, right now.
current mood: a little giddy. XD
current music: Fuel - Hemorrhage
A few days ago, my bro brought home a PS2 game. I guessed it was only the Spider-Man 2 game because, well, everyone was crazy about it during that time (including me @_@). I was wrong though. It was ... Silent Hill 4! Was caught off-guard because I didn't know it was already released (or maybe I just needed a few updating -_-;).
Well, the game was... as usual, nerve-wrecking. @_@; It makes you all jittery an' stuff 'til your nerves pop out. Anyway, our nerves did pop out when we saw that you have to play it in FIRST-FRIGGIN'-PERSON MODE!!! >_< I mean, geez, Silent Hill in third person is a good horror ride, but in FIRST person?! Good thing is, that mode is only in the "apartment (main guy's room)" scenes. Dang, they sure know how to scare, and am not supposed to spoil it here, so go and play it. XD
Oh, another good thing. Main guy is a hottie. Yipee. I'm tired of "normal-looking" Silent Hill guys. This one's a HOT little potato. The game is about a guy (sheesh... me fergots his name) trapped in his own apartment when he started having nightmares. He couldn't get out of the friggin' room, trust me. I criticized the damn plot already (just brush off the usual stuff like where he gets his food, etc). Anyhoo, clues (you know, some writings which magically appears on walls an' stuff that's supposed to freak you out... or not) are pointing out that some usual Silent Hill diabolic rituals are to play a part again, well, probably main part. Oh well, freaky demonic rituals are probably the epitome of freakishly-freaky (stupid word... just made it up. now it doesn't get out of my freakishly-freaky head) horror stuff. Don't agree? Go play Fatal Frame.
Well, the guy, as i have said, a good-lookin' one. No complaining for me. Heehee.
