Yeah so am at the library right now and got nothing to do yeah yeah yeah.
Exams are over. Well, technically not yet, but I don't consider the minor subjects as ones you'd really waste your time to. Right now I feel weird. I know I'll flunk but I'm not worried. Geez. Maybe it's already too normal to be worrying about. If I do flunk though, then it's adios amigos.
Looking forward to the weekend and next week. Relaxing time. I want to check in a hotel and stay in the bathtub 24/7. And anyone who shall disturb me will fly, off the building.
What the heck am I talking about? It's the caffeine that's talking again. Geez. Will update later.
+ ... yeah
Sunday, March 13, 2005 + 03:27 a.m.
Okay, so I have nothing better to do. Am just waiting for the downloads to finish. Can't sleep either. Bleh.
Anyway, I tried searching the net for an official Tekken storyline (since everyone was asking about Asuka's relation to Jin, blah blah blah), but apparently failed to do so. Instead, I came across a bunch of fanfics and since I have time to waste, I decided to try them out. Two are quite funny, I suggest reading these if you have nothing better to do or if you want a few laughs (come on, who couldn't resist a doped-up Hwoarang and a bossy (and violent) Kazuya fussing over his much-loved purple suit?): A Day In The Life Of A True Tekken Fanatic, and Tekken Committee.
So what else... well lately, I've been thinking a lot of schmucky things (a.k.a. problems-slash-stuff). But the problem with me is, I tend to avoid them, in a sense that it'll make matters worse. This has been my sort of bad habit. I'm just too laid-back even at the face of danger or something. Maybe all this distraction/escaping is going a bit far. I probably need a good kick in the arse. Oh well, I'd probably beat the heck out of anyone who would do that anyway. And nobody even knows what the heck I am talking about. Hahaha.
Ehrm anyway. Yeah I don't pretty much have anything else to say. Hey look, my downloads are finished yay. Time to sleep. Oh, I'll probably stuff in a quizzie or two just to make this entry a bit meaningful or something. Just a bit though.

Wow. My head is swirling. Seriously.
I can now see myself dropping dead on the floor later this day. Too much fatigue. I haven't slept yet ('cept for a measly hour, 6am-7am), I haven't eaten much, my eyes look sullen, and my blood now consists of 90% caffeine and sugar content (the best combo, because I'm still wide awake even after hours of drinking that magical concoction). ALL TO NO AVAIL.
I studied Differential Equations last night until the wee hours of dawn. I was pretty sure I'd get a good grade, but to my surprise, none of the questions were based from the books I studied from. Meaning, another flunk. Yaaay.
In other news, am now improving in Tekken 5, yaaay. Quite funny actually, that the things I can say I'm good at (w/c are very, very few, and Tekken is not included in it) doesn't actually matter in this stupid world. Hahaha.
And now I say adieu to you all. My one-hour stay in the library is now over. Plus, it's the caffeine and sugar that's talking right now.

current music: Tekken 3 OST - Jin Kazama theme (remix)
Not much stuff lately. Kept cramming and all, after all the semester ends in a week or so. And I'm in deep, grave danger.
Okay so we're not playing DMC3 much. Hahaha. Tekken 5 brought the inner competitiveness in us again. Meaning, the worst in us. Hahaha. I could pretty much deliver a good fight now. Yay. Still far from being really good at it though, I doubt I ever will. Hahaha.
Oh yeah, in T5, there's a new feature where you could customize your character's appearance. Got the idea from VF4, obviously. There's even an item, called Metrosexual Hairstyle. Man... they are inventive when it comes to names.
Devil Jin is so kickass. Hehahah. I was wondering if they are going to bring back Jin's old moves (from Tekken 3), since they kind of toned him down in Tekken 4. Good thing though, that they brought those old moves back, with Devil Jin. Wee. It's kind of frustrating to unlock him though, because you have to finish the action/adventure game, Devil Within (much like Tekken Force in T3, only more annoying). And I got my brother to finish that game. Funny though 'coz he doesn't use Jin - I do. Teehee.
Oh yeah, we went to the mall last Saturday. I was late again because from school, I went home first instead of going straight to the mall. And there I was stalled because of a few matches in T5. Bleh. Anyway, so I met up with them, but they were talking about this crazy Batman dating game so I was thinking of leaving already even though I just came (*gulp* sounds... yeah). Ehrm. So. We ate at this japanese restaurant thingy and did a little photoshoot, involving Kohta's jelly and his #1 fan. Hahaha. I think they're making some crappy-ass 1337 Photoshop skillz0rz rendering of sorts, so we'll just wait and see.
We went to Abi's after the mall. And, well, more madness. Got to watch JDA's Freedom PV, and Yasu is sooo kickass. Like, I should kick his ass or something. 'Coz he loves us so much (inside joke). Hahaha. Also, we got to watch our little home video during our stay at Jess's. There's a crazy woman in the background who makes eerie laughing noises. Creepy *shudders*. Oh, and poor Champo. Hahaha. So when Jess and Alan left, Abi and I got into more PV madness. And that was the worst, I think. Worst. Plus Tack keeps saying something about a "baaad papa". I dunno WTF that means, but I kinda see a different light in it. Gaaah. And so I died, later in the evening, seeing Yasu welcoming me at the gates of hellish nothingness. Hahaha.
+ lock and load
Thursday, March 3, 2005 + 01:38 p.m.
Yesterday, I was in the car with my brother, and I saw a lot of newly-bought DVDs at the back seat. I didn't bother rummaging through it because if he DID buy Devil May Cry 3, he won't place it there, knowing I'll find it there. He has this knack of buying a new game (the highly-anticipated ones), yet he wouldn't tell me until he plays it at home, leaving me staring at the opening sequences in awe. So I used my highly-trained C.S.I. skillz and opened the glove compartment... and out popped the DMC3 cd, haha! I laughed at him like a maniac while he quickly grabbed it away from me but it was too late after all. Hahaha. The "outsmarter" became the "outsmartee". ROFL.
At home, my brother played a cd in the PS2. So I quickly grabbed the controller, knowing that it's Devil May Cry 3. But the screen displayed "NAMCO" and there, I knew that I got outsmarted still, after all that laughtrip in the car. So the "outsmartee" became the "outsmarter" again. Argh.
Anyway, we played Tekken 5 first (yes, it's the one with the Namco screen of course). The graphics and visuals have greatly improved. The gameplay though, is still the same. I was kinda hoping that they'd polish up the character moves and controls so it'll be fluid, like in SC2 for example. Oh well. I liked some of the new stages though, especially the one where the characters fight in a field of white flowers and a few ruins in the background (much like The Boss's stage in MGS3, except that it is nighttime). Some of the new characters are pretty cool to use, like Raven, Feng Wei, and Asuka. Oh, and Yoshimitsu looks kickass. o_o
So as we play, right then and there I just realized how I infinitely suck at Tekken. I was pretty alright during the Tekken 3 era, but I stopped playing it after that. And my two brothers keep owning me. ARGH! I hate the feeling of constantly losing, match after match. I managed to grab a few wins, but my (elder) brother has the most winning streaks, so he owned us (it's okay though, he rarely wins in VF4 and SC2 anyway, so maybe Tekken is his forte). I'll practice a new character, probably Asuka Kazama. Maybe it's about time I get my gears back to work for Tekken. But I don't have time to practice much. Argh.
Bleh, so enough of that. We played Devil May Cry 3 next. Well, it's pretty much the same - your thumb goes sore with all the hacking and shooting. There are new moves though, which are pretty cool, like you could step over a downed enemy and ride it while you go shooting every single baddie in the area. I didn't play much of it yet, so I have more to see. Some cut-scenes now include more humor, which is pretty fine I guess. I dub Dante, the next "Porma Man" after Ocelot. LOL.
Gaaah. Anything to get my mind off T---- and school stuff. Hahaha.

current music: Janne Da Arc - Maria no Tsumeato
This is a random blabber entry, so, anything goes. :D
But before anything else, I'd first like to stab Yasu (vocalist, Janne Da Arc) with a pencil for three reasons. One, for writing such wonderful lyrics that will burn you alive (literally and figuratively *coughs*). Two, for having such killer hair that makes women tear their own hair in envy. Three, for making such immaculate facial expressions in a particular PV. Don't get me wrong, I know he loves us so much, that's why I'ma have to stab him with an unsharpened pencil in his left ankle.
Shhh, don't tell him. O_O
Belated happy birthday to leader-san, Kiricho! Was such a drag though because I missed it by 30 minutes. Heheh. Btw, he's in the feature cover of a new issue of Fool's Mate, and he looks kickass! >:D
Mmmkay... I really want to own a pair of hamsters. I just want a pet of my own I guess. Nelo (our adorable Golden Retriever) is more of a family pet, so I don't do much of the work in taking care of him. Okay I admit, I don't do any work at all, 'cept for giving Nelo huggies. Hahaha. Anyway, the problem is, my mom doesn't like high-maintenance pets because she's the queen of all neat-freaks. She doesn't want any other living creature inside the house except for us humans. Though she suggested something like a fish or a bird for a pet. Well, I don't like birds because I don't find them cute and interesting. About fishes, well, I think I heard my brother planning to re-vamp the aquarium by filling it with around five Ghost Knife fishies and installing a dark red light for an eerie, murky look (I find the idea pretty cool). So I have no other options except for hamsters. They're cheap and all, but the cages are so expensive. I want a big cage with those tube thingies and ...a comfort wheel *gulp* and watch them play *cough*. Okay I'ma stop right now.
Eh so what else... oh, check out Friendster sometime. Abi and I are planning something ebil. Hahaha.
Btw, I heard that there will be some sort of a jrock/jpop bandfest in Enchanted Kingdom this summer. Wee, am looking forward to it! Can't wait to play them Pierrot songs. Finally!

This week is too stressful for me. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. Gah... I don't even know if I can live through the weekend. o_o
Well, it's been quite a while since I last made an entry, so... yeah.
Last Sunday, we went to the anime con in Megamall. We didn't do much, but we still had fun I guess. Mainly from picking on the cosplayers and some animations and stuff. Evil. Hahaha. So after the event, we hung around. And, there, something happened. That time, I tried to act cool and unaffected and all. It took a while for me to know that things got too serious. Thankfully, it ended well. Now, I'm actually glad it happened.
That night, I got to think about a lot of stuff. A LOT. Stuff that I haven't even realized before. Stuff that leads into, sadly, more questions. And sadness, I guess. I want to talk more about this, but I'm just too tired.
Monday, I was supposed to prepare for the busy week in school, because Eng'g Week has ended and the professors bombarded us with deadly quizzes, projects, and reportings. But I haven't been able to do much that day. So that leaves me, cramming, yet again. That night, a friend (whom I haven't talked to in weeks) called so I welcomed the break.
He called mainly because he got nobody to talk to and all, so we chatted about music, videogames... you know, the usual stuff. Then he suddenly got serious and asked questions... questions that I also ask myself. He doesn't normally bring up things like that, because when we talk over the phone, it's usually the nonsensical stuff. What's funny is, that this serious conversation suddenly popped up after that event last Sunday. How timely. So yeah, I got to think about MORE stuff after that. My poor head. And no, I wasn't able to prepare my report and study for the quiz next day.
So I woke up in the early Tuesday morning to procrastinate, yet again. And still I wasn't able to prepare my report because there was some typographical error in the Physics problem so I had to ask the professor about that. I haven't studied for the quiz either. Fortunately, there was no reporting. No quiz either. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to study for the quiz in Differential Equations the next day (today). And that quiz means life and death, because it's the only subject that might send me off the school, and out of the country.
So I set the alarm clock to ring at an early time so that I'll have time to study, but... yeap, I still got up late. Sadly, I only got to solve two problems (out of four) and am unsure of the answers. Geez.
Hahaha. I find it weird that I talk about all the senseless things here while I should be pouring my heart out. Oh well, maybe I'm tired of all the thinking and stuff. This week was really too much for me, and I'm half-worried about what will happen on the rest of the days to come. Too much stress... I need a pill.

Saturday, February 19, 2005 + 04:00 a.m.
current mood: sleepy.
current music: Siam Shade - Dear
Well, waddaya know? As with the last entry, am still sleepy. Geez. So basically I'm gonna spew out every nonsensical thing that gets into my head. Plus, starting yesterday, it's very hard to make a new entry, thanks to Takky who seems to be reading this... *points at pic*.
Nothing much happened so far. Engineering Week is finished so my week-long vacation is over. I didn't attend the acquaintance party even though I promised I'd go, mainly because I'm lazy and I'm hiding from somebody. Next week will be a very busy week at school, am sure. So I took my sweet time staying at home and playing videogames, which is something I haven't done in a while.
Speaking of videogames, I finally got over my OC-ness and decided to finish Suiko III, once and for all. Am no perfectionist or something, but that game just brings out the obsessive-compulsiveness in anyone. I didn't want just a normal "Victory" in the strategy game, I wanted a "Major Victory" and mightily kick Yuber's evil arse. Oh well, at least I didn't miss any of the 108 SoD so I managed to get Luc's chapter in the ending (btw, since many people asked, Leknaat IS in the game and was shown a few times in Luc's storyline). Gaaah... after 95+ hours of gameplay. And one-third of it was devoted for trading and making money for weapon upgrades. Hahaha.
I haven't played the other Suikoden games so I can't really judge whether Suiko III gave justice to its predecessors. But all in all, it's a decent game, for an RPG in PS2. Now that I've finished this one, maybe I should start on Suiko IV sometime soon. And meet Champo. Yay.
What intrigues me in Suiko III is the story. I find it very nice. The story is basically about fate, and that fate gives way for strong-willed people. The question still bugs me though, let's say you defy fate, but what if that action (defying) is actually written in your fate? I have always been asking myself, should I surrender to my fate or should I write my own? Because right then and there I think, what if fate also controls my actions in getting it off-course? One would never know I guess. We are prisoners of our own fate. To surrender to it or not depends on how you look at it - your own perspective. Therefore, there is no answer. It would be better to just laugh it all off. Just like what Kirito says in Mad Sky (lyrics): I'll be laughing until I find the key to the exit.
Just keep the cheese coming and coming. This might be a little late, but whatever, I guess. I've read Abi and Jess's entries about our friendship, and I also wanted to say that I'm really glad we're as close as ever. I've lost a few of my really good friends mostly because of loss of communication, so I really am thankful and proud of you two. I'm just here for you guys, so whether you need me/my help or not, and whether you need a listening ear or just a few laughs (okay then, not just a few), you know where to find me. Just don't ask me to magically summon them Pierrot guys in front of y'all. Hahaha.

Am really sleepy now so this'll be fast.
New layout, thanks to Abi again. The theme is somewhat based on one of Pierrot's slow songs, Sacred. If you want to read the lyrics or something, I'll post it next time. And the explanation of sorts. Next time. Yeah. About the picture, well, I took that photo. Uh huh. Told him to do the same pose he did last night, this time with clothes on. Yeah. Damn we nearly broke that mirror with all the fun. Yeah. Good, clean fun. Holy crap, I seriously need to sleep.
+ weekend madness
Monday, February 14, 2005 + 07:43 p.m.
current music: Hellsing OST - Logos Naki World
First of all, Happy Valentine's Day everybody!
Okay. Went for the overnight thingy at Jess's pad last Saturday. Well, it's supposed to be a birthday bash of sorts. And it all can be summed up in one word: craziness. o_o
We watched the L'Arc~en~Ciel Live in USA DVD. The songs chosen were mostly from their album SMILE (I haven't listened to this album yet, save for a few tracks), and some are the mainstream ones so I didn't enjoy it much. If I were to watch a L'Arc concert, I want to hear the old songs, the ones that are not given proper attention by the *coughstereotypicalfangirlscough*. A trip down memory lane. Anyway... poor Hyde. XD If only he tweaked his Engrish skillz, then people shouldn't have fallen silent and wondered why he kept asking "did you eat crap? CRAP??". Tetsu did his banana ritual as usual. Ken looked as dorky as ever. Yukihiro is ...still Yukihiro, with longer hair. o_o
Then here comes the dreaded videocam. Am not the type who fools around in front of the camera, so I'd best stay in the background and laugh. So we did this Art Attack thing with the Koosh balls, mp3 player, and the cat toys. And no, am not going into detail. Because it's scary. SCARY. And there was also a "karaoke" moment. Yo. M-flo. In da hawz yo. Am not going into detail, because that's scary too. Well, basically I spent the evening laughing. I think I laughed for around 30 minutes straight. Scary. I even scared myself with all that laughter. o_o
Also watched Versus. They didn't enjoy it much, mainly because of the dum-dum girl and really pointless storyline. The fight scenes are superb though, especially for fighting geeks like me. Low budgeted, but has good cinematography. Just please kill the girl.
The next morning, we ate at Chowking. Thankfully, there were three of us, so it isn't sad anymore. XD There were a bunch of local "goons" in there so we had to transfer seats. After eating, we sorta exchanged ghost stories. Yes, trust us to do that in a noisy fastfood chain at lunchtime. Well, basically I didn't share stories, I just laughed at their expressions. =D
Abi: "blahblahblah" (scary story)
Jess: =) (listening)
Abi: "then blahblahblah!" O_O (scary part of scary story)
Jess: @o@! (jaw dropped)
Me: HAHAHA! XD XD XD (laughter)
We watched a few more jrock PVs, like Porno Graffiti and such. Also a few anime episodes, Yami no Matsuei (for reminiscing XD), and... *cough* *choke* Hellsing. ~_~ Don't ask.
Also played a mini-game in Suikoden IV, wherein you play as Champo (also known as me) and hunt mice. That character is cute! XD Especially how he runs and bangs into the wall. LOL! 70 percent of the time, I just bang him up into the wall just to get some laughs.
...And that sounds weird. o_O;
Abi and I went to the mall after leaving Jess's place. They were going to mass so I just watched a movie to kill time. There weren't many good movies in the cinemas that day, so I chose to watch Alfie, because it's the type people watch alone. o_O;
Alfie starts off as a fun movie about a chronic womanizer who has a very laid-back principle in life. Jude Law's (a good actor, btw) monologues show as if you're listening to a close friend as his character shares thoughts and emotions. Early in the film, he got it going good, until one by one everything just kept falling apart. It's pretty interesting, and some parts are humorous too. If you're bored and got nothing to do, watch this film. It'll keep you entertained.
Okay so the crazy weekend ended. And my fingers are sore. So I'ma take a break right now. o_o;
