Eh yes, got nothing to do anyway, so why not.
Went out today and yesterday (finally). I was already beginning to think that outside the house is a very barren place that holds not even a single lifeform. Hoho. Summer vacation is a couch potato's ideal paradise. Or prison. Whichever you want to call it.
Watched Kingdom of Heaven today (technically yesterday). I don't know what to say actually. Well, one thing is for sure: the cinematography was awesome. Overall, it was good, but unlike the other Ridley Scott movies, this one didn't actually spark something up in me. But it's a good movie, nevertheless. Maybe I'd appreciate it a lot if I hadn't watched Revenge of The Sith three days ago (yep, hangover). Hahaha.
Well, the message (in the movie) was nice anyway. People confine themselves into their religion too much that they fail to feel its essence. Religion is just religion, nothing else. What matters is that you know for a fact (yes, fact) that God is in your heart and mind. If that's the case, you can't go wrong with anything.
Oh, there's one thing in the movie that really cracked me up though. When Saladin brought his forces to Jerusalem, the pope told everyone to save themselves by converting their religion to Islam for the meantime and repent to God later. LOL. That's just downright... egh, I can't even find a word for it. And here he was supposed to be the pope, the pillar of faith. Heh.
Eh what am I blabbering about? I just can't sleep anymore. I'm sleep-deprived but I can't force myself to sleep before the sun actually rises. My poor, poor eyes.

Ugh don't ask about the title. It's just a name of a certain sidequest in SW:KOTOR. The sidequest was about... well... nevermind. *refuses to speak*
Anyway, I still have the Star Wars fever (or should I say, hangover) in me. We watched the press screening of Episode III: Revenge of The Sith yesterday (well, technically two days ago) and it was awesome. Clearly pwned the hell out of Episode I and II. The fight scenes are great, plus of course the visual effects, and there were even bits of humor dropped in. And Hayden Christensen's acting pwned everyone else's. Heck, even non-SW fans will definitely enjoy this movie. Why? Because I was one back then. After watching it, I feel like watching Episodes IV, V, and VI again (I was a kid back then so I don't clearly remember the details). And I feel like buying KOTOR II (Xbox) and Revenge of The Sith (Xbox or PS2). And I feel like watching the movie again in Gateway (gotta love those Lazy Boy chairs) this time. Ahahaha. Okay I shall now use the Force to persuade people to watch it. YOU WILL WATCH IT. YOU WILL WATCH IT. O_O
Alright, enough of the squee-ing (you should be thankful that I didn't write this yesterday, as I may have fangirl-ed Anakin endlessly).
Oh. Here's something a bit... funny and weird. After the movie, there was this freebie thing. Get a cup of ice cream and discover what SW figurine you get inside. Naturally, everyone would look for Darth Vader's figurine, right? Hmmm...
Brother #1: Oh I got Darth Vader yay!
Uncle: Waaah I want that! Let's trade, mine is a Republic soldier. *trades and runs off*
Brother #2: Oh look I got Darth Vader too wee!
Brother #1's GF: Yay Yoda for me!
Brother #1's GF's friend: Yay Obi Wan for me!
Me (to Brother #1): Open mine. *does something else*
Brother #1: *slight snicker* Dude you got Anakin.
Me: YAY! :D *gets figurine from Brother #1*
All of them: WAAAH GIMME THAT, THAT'S MINE!!! O.O
Me: o.o; *carefully hides Anakin figurine from pack of wolves*
LOL. What a weird bunch. XD Oh well, just in case you're curious, the five of us all got different characters, except for C3P0 (which means there were six different figurines available). Hahaha.
Okay, enough SW babble. Seriously.
In other news, my body clock is... impaired, I should say. Recently, I have been going to sleep at around 7am and wake up at 4pm. And yes, I miss the sun. And the day itself. So don't get all confused with the timeframe in my entries. Heehee.
Oooh I can't help it! I'll buy KOTOR II and/or ROTS tomorrow (technically, later)! And hopefully I can finish everything before school starts! Mwahahahahahahaha!
Okay, I will shut up now.
+ very important.

current mood: blank.
current music: Buck-Tick - Long Distance Call
I feel so lightheaded. I feel like floating. And no, I'm not high. It's just that I don't have any sleep yet. So I apologize in advance for whatever you might happen to read here.
Anyway I'm just finishing downloads and I don't have anything important to say. Heck, as if I say important things here all the time. What is "important" anyway? The things that actually matter, or the things that you think matters? Read again, there's a fine line between those two.
Wow I can't think of anything to write. Maybe because of that friggin' humid weather. Makes my mind go blank. I only like summer when I'm on the sandy shores of the beach. But no, I'm at home, watching the sands of time gush down. And it's not a pretty sight to behold. Plus it's so hot in here. I feel like being in the fiery shores of hell instead.
Come to think of it, is posting this really pointless entry that important? Does it matter? Well, to me, yes. I like wasting people's time. Nyahaha.
+ ten things.
Thursday, May 5, 2005 + 04:59 a.m.
1) Happy Birthday to my brother.
2) Happy Birthday to Junjun Naito.
3) Welcome to our new pet owls, Smee and Squee.
4) Ugh. Dictators Circus VII. Nevermind.
5) Blame the Xbox for my late entry (if you would call this an entry.
6) Blame Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic if I accidentally babbled about lightsabers and... bantha fodder.
7) I'm so poor (not even a single peso) that I won't be able to bribe the Grim Reaper to extend my life span.
8) Oh, maybe a sacrificial offering would suffice then.
9) A sheep? A cow? A virgin girl? A virgin boy? (haha)
10) Actually I'm just waiting to finish my downloads and I can't think of anything to fill up a whole list of ten. Why ten and not five or seven? BECAUSE I'D LIKE A FULL LIST OF TEN DAMMIT.
+ sad.

current mood: refreshed
current music: Pierrot - Hill ~genkaku no yuki~
Wow, I miss that song. I haven't listened to it for a while and, well, the feeling is good. Kind of makes you go "awww" or "waaah". Haha. Oh, speaking of Pierrot, thanks to Micha for the Pierrot stuff! Wee. :D
Just got the step charts for Ez2Dancer, thanks to Abubu and Tackiboi. Yay! I initially liked a few songs and I'm going to study the steps later, teeheehee. Hopefully I can do some freestyling soon. The shiz.
Mmmkay, my brother just told me to clear a space in the TV cabinet tomorrow for a "guest". Okay, so that basically means our mom will have one more reason to nag us about the soaring electricity bills. Ahahahaha...hahaha...ha.
I just fiddled with my brother's digicam (actually not his) and saw their pictures during their Boracay trip. Then it just hit me. I'm about to leave this country soon without even setting foot on the white sands of Boracay. WTF is that. I'd really want to explore the caves and go snorkeling and blah blah blah. Heck, I haven't even been to Baguio yet. Sad. o_o
Okay so what else... oh, the magic of SparkTests. For the Personality Test, I got:
Experimenter
(Dominant Introverted Abstract Thinker)
You are an EXPERIMENTER (DIAT). Although you're slightly shy (admit it!), you love control. When a problem comes across your way, you stomp on it swiftly and decisively. You are bothered easily by failure in others and failure in yourself. You don't like people that you don't think are intelligent. Rather than arguing with them, however, you would just as soon ignore them altogether.
In relationships, you have a strong heart. And because you're introverted, people take you as someone they can trust. But the fact is that in addition to solving problems, you like to create them.
You're a good person at heart, but then again, who isn't?
Yes! I knew it, am a good person at heart! LOL. The result was accurate, I admit. That's me, from top to bottom. Sad. Ahahahaha...hahaha...ha.
Actually there are lots of tests, am just to lazy to post it all. But for the Untelligence test, I got an 83% score ("untelligence", according to them, is somewhat a measure of practicality; it's not a measure of stupidity LOL). And the Gender Test, uh... 42% male (meaning, out of my answers, they were 42% sure I am male; it doesn't mean I'm 42% male and 58% female). Which is yet again, sad. Ahahahaha...hahaha...ha.
On a last note: WHY DO COCKROACHES EXIST IN THIS WORLD?!
+ update? nah.
Saturday, April 23, 2005 + 09:18 a.m.
I can't sleep. My head hurts and my stomach churns. My eyes are probably bloodshot. Words and images run through my head in chaos. Plus I have colds... on a hot, summer day. Awful.
Anyway, it's been a pretty long while since I sort of updated. Funny though, there's nothing to update. Life's still the same. Only that I now choose to study Journalism for the sake of easily getting a diploma. I don't know why I picked Engineering back then... maybe just to prove myself? So that I can have a good future career life? Uh... no, I don't think so. Although I can clearly say that those three years aren't wasted. I've learned about a lot of things, and those things are surely more important than academic bullcrap.
Okay, as I've said, there's nothing to update, because I did nothing much this week. Not that it's a big surprise, heh. I was supposed to get this boring job that pays well, but I'm too lazy to even make my resumé. Haha.
Went to the mall with Abi and Tack (Kung-Fu Man) yesterday. Nothing much. Was too sleepy to focus and talk (and laugh). Too many Ez2Dancer thugs around, wanna break their necks LOL. Soul Stop was fun though. I realized I can still be saved, wee. Not that I thought I was already doomed, I just didn't know it's that easy. And yes, I do mean easy. I might not look like it, but my foundation is strong. Wee.
Wow, it's already past 9am (yes I have been up all night long). Funny though because five hours ago, I joked to my friend that I won't be able to sleep because she had to bring up you-know-who before saying goodbye. And wow, mock predictions do come true after all. Haha. I just realized I can sleep away the whole day since I'm all alone here and got nothing to do anyway. My mom and brother left for outings with their workmates. Problem number one is food. There are no eggs to fry. Waaah. Wow I just blurted out something totally senseless.
Yes I have to sleep now because who knows what I might say next. I have no control over my words when I lack sleep. Plus, my head is literally swirling.
+ trump-tastic!
Sunday, April 17, 2005 + 03:45 a.m.
current mood: spiffy... I just saw new Pierrot pics ROFL
current music: The Killers - Mr. Brightside
Lo and behold... Kirito playing Biohazard 4! XD
And speaking of Biohazard 4... we're gonna have the XBox next week, woopee! Yes I know that RE4 doesn't have anything to do with XBox, I just feel like making a stupid analogy, LMAO. So here we are, procrastinating about the XBox videogame wish-list. Sadly I can't pick anything I'm looking forward to play. Any ideas, anyone?
+ ... stuff.
Friday, April 15, 2005 + 02:49 a.m.
Got nothing to do again. Went to the mall with Abi. Didn't do much, except for Ez2Dancer haha. Made a total fool of myself wee. Watched the premiere of Guess Who at The Podium. Pwned my bro at our trailer ritual wee! (It's where each of us strive to be the first to guess the title of each trailer, then we count scores. We've been doing that ever since I was a kid LOL). Anyway, that movie is somewhat like Meet The Parents, but it's more racial discriminating haha. Went to Orange Bread Cafe before heading home, and I ordered desserts. Got too much sugar to the point that ants might break off my skin and drink the sugar-infused blood. Haha.
Okay, just a survey here from Jess and Alan. Will delete it soon. Had nothing to do anyway.
THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS.
+ rants and raves
Tuesday, April 12, 2005 + 02:30 a.m.
current mood: could've been better, but OK nevertheless.
current music: Acid Android - Ring The Noise
Whoa, I kind of miss this song. Downloaded it when it was first released, which is around three to four years ago, and was eventually deleted. So yeah, I got all nostalgic after downloading it again a few days ago. Acid Android is Yukihiro's (L'Arc drummer) solo project during their two-year break. His style is techno/rock, that's why this song was featured in the Japanese version of Devil May Cry as a bonus track. Funny though, back then I didn't know that it was solely for the Japanese version of the game; I must've felt like an idiot with perched ears while playing DMC. XD
Anyway, I was introduced to two new things over this weekend. I find it life-changing. Okay, maybe not. But these might eat up most of my summer vacation time. Which is good, because I'm not doing anything productive during vacations anyway. Haha. Well, here they are:
ZestRiddle. Heh, am actually rushing to finish this entry so I could resume this game. Got it from Jess, btw. It's a game full of riddles and puzzles. And most are quite hard, harder than the ones I've encountered in videogames. So everytime you get the answer for a level, a sudden feeling of bliss will sweep through you. Haha! I suggest everyone to try this out. Play the game here. Am still stuck at level 8 though. Mind-numbing.
Ez2Dancer. Oh no. It's as if the past is creeping up on me. Haha! Anyway, we played this game in the arcades yesterday. Well, actually I have no intention of playing it at first. Yes, I was forced. Forced, I say! Okay, maybe not. It looked quite fun, so I decided to try it out. Besides, there's nobody playing VF4. And there's no way I'll play Tekken 5 in the arcades. So, Jess and I have to wait for the people to slowly walk away after watching Tack's performance (which was awesome, yo). Hee. It was fun alright, I wonder how stupid I looked while I laug everytime I make a mistake. And I'm actually thinking of studying some of the songs so I could do some freestyling. Don't want to look as if I'm doing tinikling. Haha. Well, it's a lot easier than DDR though, I just have to get used to the hand sensors. But... argh, my DDR days are over... I don't want "another" DDR... nooo... >_<
Speaking of arcades, there's this peculiar game - horse racing. You get to ride a mechanical horse and, well, hump it. The humping game. WTF. The guys who were playing it probably thinks that through that game, they're showing everyone that they're lean, mean sex machines (one of them even has this crazed, maniacal expression on his face). I mean, it's okay if they play it for fun, but seeing that facial expression tells me otherwise (meaning, the other kind of "fun"). They're probably getting none, that's why they let it all out in public. Haha. Sad, I tell you. Sad.
And speaking of Tekken 5... I don't know what's with the developers of this game, because the characters are not balanced out! For example, King. He has powerful one-hit attacks, he has linker throws that do big damages, he can do low throws, he's fast, his moves are easy to execute, and he can even do reversals! I mean, WTF is that? It's like turning a single character into one big killing machine! I used to think that Paul is the overdone character, but King is much worse. Or better. Whatever. That's why I never got to like Tekken games that much. At least in VF and SC, the characters are somewhat well-balanced. Oh! Another thing, I just remembered. In Tekken, even when you sidestep or evade, YOU STILL GET HIT! WTF IS THAT?! Ugh, never mind.
Okay, what else... geh, that Tekken 5 rant drained my mind. LOL. I guess I have to resume playing the riddle game now. Wow I feel like being in Batman's shoes, trying to track down The Riddler. <3 <3
+ i just want to say...
