the effect of swine flu on our daily lives

swine flu, or infleunza A(H1N1) (but i would very much like to refer it as swine flu), is drastically taking its toll on the community. no, its not the viral disease itself, but the perks that come with it.

as you all know, swine flu is the new kid on the block. the new black. the latest pandemic to hit the streets. sadly, or should i say... regrettably fortunate, it is just a mild case of the flu. hell, even dengue is more dangerous than swine flu.

take my word for it guys for i had first-hand experience of the virus. although my case was a little severe, it was because it triggered my sinusitis. which means that i had a hell of a headache. so, officially, i was diagnosed with acute sinusitis.

notice anything WRONG? if your smart enough, you can notice that they did not mention a thing about swine flu in my diagnosis even though i had exhibited its symptoms.

why??

to create less panic and chaos. if the medical world will NOT confirm the existence of the virus in me, then countless people can sleep better knowing that the dreaded virus hasnt infected a wonderful guy like moi.

notice that i used the word DREADED, and not DREADFUL, to describe the swine flu. well ladies and gentlemen, i am going to another part which will lead to another and will eventually lead us back to the main topic. :D

people dread the virus because of two things.

1. basically, they dont want to get sick
2. they have been brain-washed by the authorities thinking that its a deadly disease.

yes, need i explain? well... yes, i have to...

firstly, people dont want to get sick. its such a hassle. people hate being behind on the studies, miss work, etc.

2nd, almost all of us had orientations about swine flu, right? they say that its just a mild case of flu yet they had a lot more going on.

finally, onto my topic. now, because of that, classes have been suspended and so has our laag pursuits. why oh why?? do you realize how boring that is to us?? it was okay, no... AWESOME that you guys suspended class. but including our laag pursuits? that is miscarriage of justice! its like commiting murder! how could you do that? smiling their in front.. talking about social responsibility.

hell, i dont care if i infected a lot of people. our prefect also said that part of the social responsibility, is that we, the students of Xavier, are responsible in keeping the disease under control.

why us? isnt that DOH's responsibility? arent we the victims here? why the hell are we trying to act like heroes?

stuff you might wanna know about tekken :D

ahhh yess. i always wanted to make a lot more posts about this game. hahahaha. this guide is really about how I decipher and fathom it. it is from my own understanding and i have NO guarantee that this will make you the best player in the world. :D



tekken..



tekken is a game created by namco. the concept of this game is really simple, actually. it's basically the same with other fighting games; beat the hell outta each other. but what makes this game unique is it's fighting concept called an aerial combo or more commonly known as a juggle.




what is juggling?



juggling is the term used by tekken players illustrating their combos. it is the act of launching your opponent, or your opponents character, in the air and pummeling him with all sorts of punches, kicks and whatever thing that inflicts damage. here's the catch: you must do this WHILE he is still floating in the air and you must NOT let him fall to the ground before your combo is done. seems easy enough, right? WRONG. hahaha




style or damage?




the debate is on and tensions rise on each side. which one is dominant? the style of the combo or the damage of the combo? i prefer to choose both. but before that...



style.



having jaw-droppin combos dont necessarily mean that its kickass. but the audience rapport is truly irresistible. we tend to forget the damage and start focusing on the style of the combo. how the combo looks like.



damage



this is for aggressive people who are more brawn than everything else. lol. they do whatever it takes to inflict the most damage to the opponent.



my own verdict.

well, it usually depends on the damage difference.. if the damage difference isnt that big or not quite noticeable, i really would go for style. but if the damage is WAAAAAY BIG. then say hello to the world of hurt. :D

well, there are a lot of people who play tekken. and a lot of people who dont know how to play this game. some say that you punch and you kick, that's it. so how do we sort out the noobs from the pros?



button-smashers


they dont know how to play AT ALL. from the word itself, the players mash away at the button until one of them dies or until they mash their fingers to bits. the Character of choice is christie or eddy. but now its lili. be warned though, button smashers are extremely unpredictable and i have seen pros get beaten by them.. how embarrassing :D


semi button-smashers


they are just the same crowd but a little wiser. they now know how to block and would only sometimes attack when near. they know a little but still uncertain. for example, marduk's 1+2, they know that they must press the two punches at the same time but they are going to do that for 3 times, like mash 'em like hell. lol. still unpredictable. choice of characters, any. now that these persons know a little bit of tekken, they tend to choose a more variety of characters.


grab-abusers


ahhhh, yes. my worst type of gamer. they are the ones with prodigious knowledge and skill about grabbing. grab is a cheap move and grabbers are soooo cheap and so gay. although i had my fair share of grabbing experiences. lets just say, they are afraid to get up again.. :D again, semi unpredictable. learn to counter grabs. characters of choice, king, armor king, marduk, characters with a long reach. how to defeat: be aggressive, answer grabs with grabs.


novices


these are guys who have made up their mind and take up tekken seriously. this is the most crucial part of the tekken stage because they begin to develop their love of the game. usually the time when players pick at last their character of choice. this is a trial and error period. only few can actually surpass this stage. they try to learn as many stuff about their characters as hard as they can. usually, they know atleast one combo and they have tried hard to master it. usually very predictable, they are sadly misinformed into thinking tekken is nothing but juggles. how to counter: try reading their pattern and use your own plan from there.



intermediate


these guys know a lot about tekken. they know at least half of the characters but are sometimes predictable. they can easily pick up patterns and use it to their deadly disposal. they have cool juggles but need a little bit more practice. they don't try new stiff with their characters. they try new ways to execute old moves. it takes time, practice and patience to get to this level. how to counter: be equally good or better! :D



expert


these guys are the best of the best, the legends. they are like, you know, chairman of the board. they know everything there is to tekken. EVERYTHING! they can do stuff in tekken we could only dream of! they can make every character so deadly that you would be awed just to be with the same breathing air with them. lol. they are unlikely to be predictable. they think 2 moves ahead of their opponent but juggles less often. truly a player to be praised. OH MY LABOR! :D

now, the following are a few reminders on tekken. they are a NEED-TO-KNOW, HIGHLY-CLASSIFIED... uhm,. "stuff."

• there is such a thing in tekken as sidestep. you can do this by simply TAPPING the up or down joystick. be careful though.. if you are heavy with your hands, the character will JUMP instead of SIDESTEPPING. now, sidestepping is important because you can do moves off it and you can actually evade your opponent. for example, your opponent is starting a 10-hit string from a distance and he's coming off towards you. a couple of sidesteps and you will be in his left, or right. there is a faster way of sidestepping though. this must be done really fast. it's called sidestep fake backdash something. no, i did not make that up. but yes, i forgot the name. :D it is done by sidestep then back dash. so its like this, you tap up, so that your character will sidestep. then quickly double TAP. TAP. TAP, not double then hold. i haven't quite got it yet. :D
  
• there is such a thing as backdash. backdash is the art of moving back quickly. it is done by TAPPING the back joystick 2 times. this is done so that when your opponent tries to hit you, he misses and you have a very clear shot for a juggle. be warn though,. this is not always the case. there are times that even after a backdash, the opponent can still reach you. but its completely safe.
  
• forward dash. forward dash is the ancient art of lunging forward. if u need a couple of steps in order to land your attack, then the forward dash is a very useful tool. it can be done by double TAPPING the forward joystick. what is the difference of DOUBLE TAP and DOUBLE TAP THEN HOLD? well, it probably the same thing. but you can get moves from double forward. but you can only get the ordinary move in forward dash. okay? secondly, forward dash is safer because you can hold back after the dash.
  
• there is such a thing called 'while-rising'. it is executed while your character is rising from a crouch OR he just landed from a jump. for example, jin's rising uppercut. first, hold the joystick down so that jin will crouch. then release the joystick so that it will return to neutral and simultaneously press RP or 2. this will execute jin's rising uppercut. another way to execute this is by holding the joystick upward and when the character will land, the joystick must be in neutral and then simultaneously press RP or 2.
  
• chicken buffer and fakes. this is very tricky. chicken buffer means finishing and/or prolonging the animation. for example, kazuya's wind god fist, which is done by f,n,df. simultaneously press 2 when reaching the df part. it will be fast. but in buffering, the player waits a little longer before pressing 2. therefore, finishing the animation. chicken buffer is used for boggling the opponents mind. fakes are used only by a few character and only a handful of people can execute this is quick succesion. baek, lei, hwoarang and christie/eddy is are famous for this. they have moves that can be continued and executed into another move. i cant explain how it looks like but you already know. this is used to keep your opponent guessing. a word of caution though, if you are VERY PREDICTABLE, then this will be your downfall. players can easily pick up your pattern and punish you. a very good baek player will keep you occupied with kicks and will keep you guessing where to block.
  
• there are moves that require multiple joystick motions. like kazuya's wind god fist, etc.
  

there are three types of fighting styles. the turtle, the pitbull and the balanced type.

turtle- well, this player plays a very defensive game. duh, thats why they are called turtles. they seldom attack and normally counter and block most of your moves. beware though, too much turtling can result in grabbing or guessing.

pros: defense is the best offense.

cons: can keep you guessing where to block, strike, or counter.

pitbull- again, analyze the name. it is the complete opposite of the turtle. the pitbull goes for offense. they rush up to the opponent and does not let the opponent have time to pick their nose or scratch their ass. but be warned, too much pitbulling is close to suicidal.

pros: can make your opponents life hell. the opponent will have a hard time landing an attack.

cons: your offense can be turned against you.

balanced type- from the word itself, this type of player can balance his offensive skills and also his defense skills.

pros: none

cons: none

now, here are some of the characters that i normally use or characters that i am really good at.

lili: uf+3, b+2-1, 1-2, 2-1+2
christie: d+3+4, 3~4,2,1~4,2, f+3.
law: while rising+2, 4-f+3, FF+2-1-3
king: u+4, df+2-1, db+2+4, 2-1-3-4,
hwoarang: b+3, 2~4-2, f+3, uf+3-4-3
baek: b+3, f+1-2~3, f+1-2~3, f+1-2~3, f+1+2-4
marduk: DF+3-1, 1, df+3-1, FF+1+2
bryan: fB+2, f+1+2, 1, 3-2-1-2
kazuya: f,n,f+2, 1, 1~2, f,n,f+3~1
lee: uf+4, 1-2~f, 1-2~f, 1-2~f, 3~4

so that is the end of my VERY LONG post. i hope you enjoyed it and i hope that someday, you will thank me for my hard work and effort in writing this post :D

back in business! :D

i have not counted the weeks since i have last written something here in this amazing blog of mine, although i am pretty sure that it has been a very, very long time. there are a lot of things i would like to share to you about my absence in writing to this magnificent blog. and dont worry, i will elaborate greatly on these things. so, you'll need popcorn, reading glasses, a hard-ass and read away..

so, first i stopped blogging for a little while because you know.. school. i didnt have my own personal computer at my command. and i cant keep on borrowing my mom's computer everynight because she studies. so i couldnt go online for days at a time.

and then i got lazy.. i forgot how much fun i had when i had shit to write about. whenever i try to write some shit, i write a paragraph or two and stop write there.. hopefully i can abolish this lazy habit.

i virtually ran out of shit to write about. ohh noo! this cant be happening! i cant run out of shit, i just cant! sadly, i did ran out of shit. although i thought oer a lot of shit to write about, i didnt think the other shit would be good enough. so hopefully my brain can think of more shit to write about. :D

just when all hope seemed lost, YEHEY! mom bought a new kickass HP computer. it can only mean on thing. the old computer will be goin to me. hahahaha. but amidst all the excitement, i couldnt use the computer yet because its busted. so they had to repair it and viola! i now have my very own computer :D a slow and suckish computer but atleast i have one :D

so i was busy with stuff at school and swimming... but then i really need to study. even though for about 20 mins or 30 mins per subject.

new GOAL: study a subject when needed for about 20-30 minutes or soo.

so after accomplishing that goal and getting the hang of it... atleast try to do some assignments AT HOME.

so.... i had the flu, which i contracted from my classmates. it was like hell. no, not the swine flu. well, atleast i think not. a ton of students from xavier university high school had contracted a common disease and now they are absent. hopefully with God's almighty and divine grace, i can resume my studies and do the hardest part a student does when he or she is absent from classes; catching up. yes, that is the down side of being absent. the longer the absence, the harder to catch up.

so now, this blog is totally back in business :D

im not ashamed to admit that i am a little scared of horror movies.. lets face it, who doesnt?

at first, i thought it would be another low-budget, corny movie. the title was "drag me to hell" corny much? so i dismissed it as such. but then it was directed by sam raimi and then i thought, okay, but a good director also makes a bad movie.

and then my friends wanted to watch it so i went with them. i thought the movie was going to be boring but MAN i was wrong. hahaha

and so it was scary. we watched the movie, like, two times coz we had friends coming in late. hahaha.

im sorry for the bad writing. i just dont feel like typing. :(

influenza A(H1N1) virus

for months now, i have encountered this disease but from a different name. it was then called swine flu.

while i was watching fox news, i came across one of their reports that thousands of pigs are being systematically killed because of swine flu. those poor little piggies are being slaughtered because of the virus, for it would soon be passed to humans if it would not be properly taken care of.

what is swine flu or influenza A(H1N1) virus?

swine flu or that one mentioned above is a mixture of avian flu, human flu and the swine flu. so, its basically like this:

avian flu+human flu+swine flu=influenza A(H1N1) virus

gee?

so first it broke out in Mexico. then in the USA and such. because of it's name, swine flu, people avoid pork and that is just plain STUPID. i mean, didnt i just say earlier that it was made up if 3 kinds of flu? what now? are you going to avoid birds and people? dumbass.

so, the Word Health Organization decided, for the sake of the people who were dumb enough to NOT eat pork, to change the name.

alas, they came up with this one:influenza A(H1N1) virus

wow, thats a very long name. cant they just name it "the new virus"? or "the virus"? lol, hahaha. i love making up names :D

so the Philippines tried so hard to prevent the disease from being an epidemic here but to no one's surprise, it got here.

oh well, there goes that. so now, the disease has already struck schools in manila. so, thats why we all had extended summer vacations. hahahaha. the swine flu, as i like to call it because the alternative was so long, is already a public epidemic BUT the DOH told us otherwise.

they said that its not and that not to worry, stay calm, wash your freakin hands. i mean, what gives?! PEOPLE ARE GETTING SICK AND ALL YOU SAY IS STAY CALM, NOT TO WORRY?

wow.. thats the government alright.

but the woes of DOH are from over for it just got worse. its dengue season and tons and tons of people are getting sick. ohhhh, not in a good situation are we, mr chairman of DOH sir?

wow... i would really like to laugh at their untimely and inconvenient predicament.

okay, i made up my mind. im gonna laugh at their predicament. ahahahaha.

hahahaha ;D

microwaving water warning

Microwaving Water

A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the! water was not boiling, but suddenly the water in the cup 'blew up' into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand, but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face which may leave scarring.
He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc.., (nothing metal).

General Electric's Response:

Thanks for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.
To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup . After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds ! before moving it or adding anything into it.
Here is what our local science teacher had to say on the matter: 'Thanks for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the water is heated in is new, or when heating a small amount of water (less than half a cup ).
What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor bubbles can form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As the bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat has built up, the liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past its boiling point.
What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred, which is just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the hot liquid. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated beverage spews when opened after having been shaken.'

GOOD NEWS :D

hahahha. good news for all xavier university ateneo de cagayan students! preschool, gradeschool, high school and college. rumor has it that all classes will start on june 16! yeah, my mom and my friends told me that. some say that it was in the newspaper. i dont know which one. a forwarded text message was sent to me, it said:

hahahha. hmmm, at first i didnt believe it. but when i ask my friends, they told me that classes were moved to june 16. i still didnt believed them, not until it was my mom who told me that. YEEESH! 1 week extension summer! hahahaa.

so now its official. students of xavier university ateneno de cagayn, all levels, will report to class on june 16, 2009

LEFT FOR DEAD

for weeks and weeks, me and my friend kam agreed that left for dead was a senseless game. we were worthy of tactical games such as DotA, starcraft2, warhammer, etc. but then, there was no harm of trying to play other games.



at first, we were playing tekken. playing tekken with my tekken friends (kam, lab,sef, and me.) is very fun. you have someone to talk to while your playing, you can taunt the opponent with less fear, etc. hahahaha. but i was only accompanied by kam. so we played and played and kept on winning. even though it was the other one's token, we would share the rounds.

and then MCA came...

mca was this very good tekken player. he is nice to people who are nice to him, but sometimes he just wants a laugh. he can do things in tekken that i can only dreamed of. he is really good. although i have beaten him many times, he has beaten me many more times. hahaha.

now he came and challenged us. we lost. so we took off and went to iTech. we were supposed to play tekken, but then we decided to play left for dead.

we were right. senseless shooting game. but it was fun. shooting undead zombies to a pulp and watch their innards splatter is GOOOOD! hahahahaha. very addicting game. but a short one.

hahahhahaha. i really had fun when i found a witch. my teammates were shouting "RUN!" hahaha. i was like, "what?" then out of nowhere the witch jumped on me and kept scratching me. ouch, hahaha. and then theres the tanker. hahahaha. my teammates always made me the bait. i would just stand my ground and wait for the tanker to get at me. hahaha. he would then throw me across the room. weeeeeeeeeee! hahahaha.

and i dont know why but the hunter always gets me. damn. hahahha. he has this long tongue-like that he uses to get people and drag them. and then the boomer keeps vomiting his bile on me, which makes the horde go crazy.

my favorite weapon of choice is the assault rifle. its fast and strong. although i never actually tried the sniper and the shotgun. ahahaha.

i love it when the boomer explodes and the screen goes green and woozy and we were like "dammit, he shit himself again". hahaha. so, after 40 minutes of intense shooting zombies to a bloddy pulp, we managed to board the helicopter.

WE WERE SAVED! hahahahahaha :D

infidelities of school life

why?


i mean.. why must the world be so cruel? arent we all born to be good, our ways influenced with our surroundings? i have lived a life full of atrocities and infidelities. i just put up with it because i know that its part of life. but i cant stay silent. not anymore.

i am not knew to saving my classmates skins. always, i do projects all by my own because i knew that they wont help me even if i danced naked in front of them. im okay with that, as long as i have a grade. i wont fail just because the others didnt help.. over my dead body

you see, im that kind of person. i just dont sit down and do nothing just because i dont like to do it for others. i do it because of me, helping others is just part of some perk. thats just school work, okay?

i hate it when other people take credit for my i really hate it. not helping but getting a grade is one thing. but taking full credit? nope, aint gonna happen.

it happens a lot, you see. a teacher gives us a project, im grouped with lazy people, its like this.. "okay, we have the project. i'l do it while you could just sit your ass and still take credit" kinda thing. i dont mind making the group project alone. i have been doing that since i could remember. but it really pisses me off when people take credit for MY hard work.

wtf?? oh no you didnt! you see, none of you wouldnt get anything if i hadnt wasted my time, money, sweat and all other things just to make the stupid project. now, i dont care if youre not thankful. fine by me. im doing it for myself anyway. you were just a perk.

i made ALL my investigatory projects even though we were grouped. all they did was read and report. there are many times when members pressure me and scolding me about OUR project in which I, alone, was making.

'if youre gonna ask me one more time when the project will be finished, i swear to christ im gonna shove it up your ass"

just some of the things i say to who uses... whats the word, oh yeah. cant-fail, get-good-grades-quick schemes. if i hadnt stepped up and made the stinkin project, all of us would fail. now i cant have that now, can i? not when im part of the stupid group.

and sometimes i do it because i know i can do better than my members and they know it.

now that i had that part covered up, let me start something new.

i really hate it when people ask me to do something for them, and yet they wont do anything i ask of them. in what sense is that fair?

people cant just push me around and get away with it, oh no.. thats why when someone offends me, the next time he'll see his bag, its gonna be full of mango shake. lol, i really did that. nobody knew it was me. it caused a lot of trouble though. the prefects were investigating everywhere and man it was worth it. hahaha.

so please, always remember that im a guy who thinks that revenge is better done in secrecy. rather than blabbing about it. hahahaha.

high school

when i enter the new school year, i, together with my batch mates, will be known as the seniors. the proud seniors. we have earned that degree of respect for we have shown bravery in the midst of terror. in the past years in high school, we have faced challenges hitherto. and after every year, some of our comrades leaves us. we are the lucky ones who survived, who strive to be better, who became seniors

when we were freshmen, we were young and naive.. we were all possessing this dream graduating. we were still learning the ropes and we have yet to learn about life. we didnt care about anything, for we were enjoying our thing as a person in high school. for us, it was a wonderful feeling. to others, it is merely the next to life. we have now reached the point in our lives where we will truly live it.

sophomores year. the time when things get a little serious. after enjoying a full year as a freshman, being in high school is as common as being a person. we are getting a taste of life and learning more stuff. we noticed that we were now fewer in numbers, a thing that was the dreadful inevitable. so we now gained a little experience and hopefully we could exercise some responsibility over ourselves.

junior life. ahh yes. this is the big time when we are really face life in its worst, the point when we feed our inner voyeur. in this bumpy year, we have faced a lot of down times and we have learned more in this crucial point in high school. we now have faced the reality that life isnt all that fair. we must work hard for something we really need, for the time of spoon feeding is in the past. still, we have decreased in numbers but thankful that some of us passed. if ever there was a time to get serious, this was it.

seniors. finally. we have reached this point of our lives when we will be rewarded with the fruits of our labor. the point where we are ready for the next part of our lives. we are simply mastering everything we learned. we are the ones with the most experiences, and as such, we tend to make wiser decisions. having considerably lost about half of our batch mates, we are therefore, the luckiest, for we will soon have our dream come true.

for the undergrads, many think that being a senior not something to get proud or excited, alas, how sadly dim is their mind. for being a senior is everything we really wanted to be. it is the closest thing to graduation.

i am now nearing my finish line, i have almost run my course. i have passed the biggest part of our education. for all these years, after all i have been through. i wish i had lived my high school to the fullest.

it is the one thing i regret in all of high school.

school!

in just a few days time, kids from private schools will return to school to finish another school year of education. this is now the time when we think of all the things we should have done during summer.. when ironically, we had spent many days of summer complaining that its boring, etc etc etc.

am i right? im sure most of you think i am. now, i couldnt help but feel that it was like only yesterday when we left the thresholds of our schools to enjoy our well-deserved summer, although we cant help but feel a little alone, knowing that we are about to say good bye to our friends. for we must inevitably say goodbye to all of them for the time being. but there are others whom we say goodbye for the last time.

it is the discomforting truth that every year, we decrease our ranks and say goodbye to those people who... didnt make it. in school, there are standards. and when a student fails to comply with the school's standards, he or she is forced to leave.

i regret to say that after another school year, there are students, many of whom are my friends, who must leave.

and yet, life goes on.

we meet new friends and have new groups. for those who have survived all these years, are the lucky ones. they are almost within their goal in which they dreamed when they were still freshmen;to be able to graduate in this school.

so, without further ado, it is my fervent hope that during this new school year, we will have fun and stuff. but for incoming graduates like me, i really do hope we graduate. hahaha :D

uh-oh... someone's mad. hahahaha

as most of you know, you have been robbed of your dignity and hard work. what i mean to say is, you have been stolen of your precious load. hahaha.

stolen load? yes. hahahaha.

i think one network does this. g**** is the most famous and preffered network among filipinos. it earns 2 billion pesos a day. thats only for texts earnings and after taxes and all. thats a pretty big number, dont you think? isnt that enough to get filthy rich? enough that they dont have to steal from our fellow filipinos, who had worked very hard just to load their cellular phones?

i regret to think that all those people who worked so hard... had their load stolen. to them, it mysteriously disappeared. almost everyone experienced this. i, myself, had been pissed off at how much load i lost.

but the network had stolen from one particular person who they wished they hadnt stolen load from him.

that person is senate president mr juan ponce enrile. OOPS! what a very wrong person infuriate! hahaha.

he was furious at the rate of losing his load. so he summoned the officials of the network responsible. uh-oh... theyre in big trouble now. hahaha

so, i feel that its only a matter of time until the network, who is responsible of mass-theft, would stop its load-stealing ways.

personally, im glad that someone stood up against the atrocities cited by the victimized filipinos. that someone happens to be the one whom i mentioned earlier. Senate President Mr. Juan Ponce Enrile. hahaha. soon-to-be, the texting saviour of the philippines. :D

my first surgery

yeah, not too long ago, i had undergone a life-changing surgery.

for a month now, you may have notice a gunk of soft tissue and blood on my left big toe; i had an ingrown toe nail. some of you may find this funny, ridiculous even. but those who had the utmost misfortune to experience this affliction know better than just scoff. having an ingrown is no laughing matter.

how did i succumb to this affliction of mine?

not so long ago, my nails were getting long so it was now due time to give them a trim. as some of you, or even most of you, may know that i, sad to say, dont know how to cut my nails. i always cut deep in the sides. so when the nails grow back, they grow inside the flesh.

for those of you who are a little bit squeamish, i laugh at your sad, little predicament. hahaha

let me laugh some more.. hahahaha. so, this was not just a little ingrown, it was a big one! my toe was swollen to twice it's normal size and blood and puss were coming out; i really had a bad case of infection. so i have to bathe it in betadine and agua oxigenada once in a while. i refrain from using shoes whenever i can.

it was very painful and a very disgusting sight. soft tissue was coming out. eeww. not to mention lots of blood and puss. yuck! so it was time to fix this; i'll see a doctor.

so after the check-up, he said that he needs to operate on my toe and remove about 1/3 of my nail. ouch. so he scheduled me to have an operation the next day at one pm. so i was a little bit nervous, for i had never been under the knife before.

so the day came and operated on me. first was an injection of anesthesia, to negate pain. and.. i dont know what happened next. they didnt let me see the operation. all i did was lie down and text. it was really disturbing to see that tons of blood were flooding and spurting across the floor and bed but not feeling even an infinitesimal amount of pain.

so in the next few days, i have to change my dressing atleast 2 times a day. the doctor said that i can resume my swimming pursuits next week. eeeee! i cant wait. hahaha

so thanks for reading my DETAILED post. im sure y'all still be able to eat. hahahaha

sleepover time! hahaha

so here it comes. the day i have anticipated. the sleepover! hahhahaa

so, the story continues when we arrived at izra's house. oh yeah, i forgot. i have to act gay so that the maid wont contradict me. what a to-do! i dont know how to act like a gay. hahahaha. so when we arrived, we dumped our bags and watched tv. hahhaa. we ordered yellow cab pizza and waited for coach, for they would drop by.

but then we were awfully hungry, so we ate. and ate... and ate. YUM! hahahhaa. so a while later, coach arrived with the drinks. so we drank and got a little tipsy. we started playing a game where the person who walks in a straight line for about two meters wins. hahaha. i think nobody won though.

so we continued to eat and watch tv. and my tummy started to ache.. oh noooo. it was aching so bad. we went to the room and started talking but then my aching tummy got the best of me. i went outside with pauline to drink some water. then i sat down, trying to overcome my tummy-ache. and izra and kath went to the kitchen to see if everything was okay. and then they went back.
not a moment to soo..

boom! i farted. hahahaha. not so loud though, but clearly audible. oh dear, pauline was laughing sooooo hard. good thing there was no odor. hahhaah. my tummy was getting okay, but not really okay. so pauline and i went inside the room and talked..

we talked, we laughed, we talked and we laughed some more. hahaha. it was like 3.30 in the morning and we decided to sleep.

zzz... zzz... zzz...

robert.... robert?

izra was waking me up.. i barely opened my eyes and saw pauline and izra standing there. i went back to my sleep and everytime they called my name, i would just grunt. hahaha. not until they told me that it was already 11am. i instantly jumped off the bed. to my surprise, they were smiling. it was just a joke, but it worked. they woke me up. congratulations.

it was only 9am. pauline went back to sleep and i did too. next thing i knew, izra was already changing her clothes; she clearly just finished taking a bath. so i slept some more.. i woke up again when pauline woke up. so we talked a little and it was her turn to take a bath. kathleen was still sleeping but when pauline was finished, kathleen was awake so i let her take a bath first.

so i took a bath and changed my clothes. i forgot to bring my other pants, so i used the one which i used yesterday. it was 1pm and we decided to eat at sunburst because of the eat all you can buffet there.

after 2 helpings, we took pictures. i mean, A LOT of pictures. hahahha. my friends are soooo vain. hahaha. so we got out and went for a stroll at limket kai. but..

wait a minute... where the hell is my wallet??

i rushed back to the restaurant and searched for my wallet. damn, it just fell on the floor. how embarassing. hahaha. so we continued to laag2x at limketkai..

finally, we went home. and time for me to go back to my home. hahhaha. i packed my things and made sure that i have all my underwear with me. hahahaha. we had a little chat with Go and co. and started off.

oh wait..

it was raining.. hard. damn. oh well.. how nice of izra for lending me her umbrella. hey, its violet! i like violet. hahaha. so i went to find a taxi. 10 wet minutes later, i was soaking to the bone. ohhh.. finally! i found a taxi. bwahahahha. i was so wet! my geeehd. hahaha. so i went home...

wondering when the next sleepover would be... i hope it would be soon. :D

this was the best ever. :'D

bigby's

hahaha. so after sm, i spent a whole 15 minutes deciding whether i'l take the taxi or jeep. if taxi, costly but faster. on jeep, cheep but slower. so i decided to take the jeep.


i took two trips. first was from sm to gaerlan, and from gaerlan to ketkai. the trip was okay though. although i arrived 20 mins past noon, i was all alone. my friends were not there yet. HA! and to think i considered taking a taxi.

so i waited for about 15 minutes and then they arrived. i noticed pauline carrying a cartolina but took no further interest in it.

so we entered the fray and i noticed izra whispering something to a guy. at first, i thought he was another relative; until he led us to the second room. well, i didnt see anything wrong about that. bigby's was getting really crowded. so we went there and picked a table.

izra asked me to accompany her to ketkai coz she wants her macbook looked up. so we ordered and went to ket kai. we talked about stuff and laughed.. then after getting her macbook looked up, she told me to walk as fast as i can. yes, not run. but walk.. as fast as i can. lol.

so we went inside bigby's and when i entered the second room...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU..."

OMG. the cooks and waiters were singing me a birthday song! oh noo. hahaha. last time i checked, my birthday was april 24, not may 20. hahaha. i turned my shocked face to izra but then she gave me a dont-say-a-thing-or-else look. hahaha. so i continued to let them sing for me. wow. hahaha.

so we ate and had some laughs and tooks pictures and stuff. weeeeeeeee! they would treat me.. so, the bill was theirs. hahahaha. thanks guys! so, we went to places and then to izra's house for the much anticipated sleepover! bwahahahaha.

tekken before bigby's

the day has come atlast.. the day of the sleepover! hahaha. im soooo excited! so i carefully packed my stuff. izra told me that 12nn at bigby's. so i left for sm at 10am to buy some stuff for the big day tomorrow. hahaha.

but when i arrived there, i was sorely overwhelmed with temptation of playing tekken on the third floor. so i thought that a couple of games wouldnt hurt. so i bought 2 tokens and started playing. it was in stage 6 when some one challenged me.

he was a good tekken player. well, atleast in tekken tag anyway. so i watched him and i knew what was going to happen. so i waited for it.

he challenged me.

i was a little nervous, knowing that he was really that good in tekken. but he challenged me. that was it. so i knew what his character would be. wang. man, i was really getting nervous. he won the first round but i noticed his moves was really outdated. HA! for the first time, i was confident. hahaha. so i won the next two rounds. but he won the fight. it was okay. i know all his moves.

i challenged him again. oh, i forgot. my character was lili. now it was christie. i showed him many new and cool moves. hahaha. moves and combos that made him curse so loud that i heard him from the other side. it was really pleasant to see to see that my enemies are awed by my combos. so i defeated him three straight rounds. i forgot to mercy, oops. hahaha

so he challenged me again and i kept on winning. i had 7 wins before he finally beat me with kazuya. i kept changing characters so that he would see that i know all character. baek, hwoarang, christie, law, lili, xiaoyu, baek. hahaha

in your face! stick with what you know, dont challenge me in tekken 5. stick with the status quo. just play tekken tag. hahaha. well, i must admit. this applies to almost tekken tag players who think they can beat me in tekken 5 as well. they wer wrong, and they learned that the hard way.

i showed him that tekken 5 and tekken tag is not the same.. it really irritates me beyond belief knowing that tekken tag players can beat me in tekken 5. sure, they can beat me in tag but never in tekken 5. tekken 5 is my turf, come off it.

and when i looked at the time, GOOD GOD. it was already 11am and i still havent bought my stuff for pauline. so i bought the stuff and rode a jeepney to gaston park which i will ride again to limketkai. hahaha

NEW URL :D

well, as you can also see, i have not only changed my blog name, but also my url as well. my last blog url was hard to pronounce therefore resulting in fewer refferers. i was "inspired" by my friend and brother from another mother, izra. she told me that she was having a hard time pronouncing it, but no complaints there. :D

so here it is. http://discombobulates.blogspot.com

thank you for supporting my blog. keep in touch and more posts coming soon :D

i decided that to choose this name because it sounds soooo effin cooool! :D

discombobulated--- To throw in a state of confusion

well, thats it. keep on checking for more updates and posts SOOON :D

TTFN- take that fucking niggah. JOKE! hahahaha
tata for now :D

a typical day in cagayan de oro city

this post talks about a typical day in the city. if you are a kagayanon, then you are welcome to share my sympathies. :D

if you are an average, ordinary laagan, then you are not surprised of your surroundings, for it is not uncommon that you see them. for instance, there is no surprise that we, filipinos, or should i say, the average filipino, are very terrible drivers.

not surprised eh? me too. as you can see, the traffic here is terrible. including here in the city of golden friendship, cagayan de oro. the culprit here is all of us who know how to drive, but the main reason is the jeepney's. there are a thousand jeepneys here and each wanting their own road.

again, if you are a kagayanon, then you know this well. jeepney drivers as well as other PUV drivers are terrible. greedy little buggers they are. like most things here in cagayan de oro, driving is a skill and a necessity among the people. it is almost a way of life, for most of the people are service drivers here.

again, like most of the things here in cagayan de oro, driving is a skill wherein it is passed along generations and generations of families, and within families. from father to son, from friend to friend, driving is passed along in the hope and effort that he may take up the responsibilities given to him by his previous predecessor.

and then comes the life in which some unlucky souls dare to venture, a life wherein it is frowned upon most communities. like driving, STEALING is also an essential way to make ends meet. although there are other safe, more fruitful ways to earn a living, stealing has a high risk, high reward tendency that makes people tempted.

this usually happens at night, but they can strike in broad daylight. but its not just the snatchers who are an issue, but also the prostitutes! yes, they are everywhere. cheap, affordable and easy to get, you better get your hopes up on the price but not so much on the beauty part. hahaha. i only have 3 words about prostitutes to sum it all up.

QUANTITY OVER QUALITY...

yes, its true. for those of you who dont understand, it is self explanatory. :D so which moves us to the place where everybody is, the streets. yes, you can see a lot of things in the street, non to pleasant though.. people of ALL ages and gender tend to smoke everywhere. yes, all ages. im not going to mention people or schools. here and there you can see it everywhere.

then there's the rugby boys. i am simply overwhelmed at the thought of seeing them kids in the streets, completely oblivious to the world. you may think its funny when seeing them, but it is a very sad thing. i saw countless times children, roughly at the aged of three, sniffing rugby on a plastic thing.

it is just life, as usual.

then comes the place where people come to chillax. jokingly, people say that gaston park is the place where yaya's and yayo's dating takes place. hahaha. for people in downtown, they tend to go to limketkai. and for people in the uptown, however, go to sm.

not so long ago, limketkai was just a usual place. it was the only one where people laag. and then came sm, which grealty reduced the number of visitors in all other malls. but limketkai wasnt ready to give up just yet. years later it became what it is today, a very awesome place far beyond the standards of sm. the place is simply superb. if you dont know what im talking about, then im going to make a photo post about that. hahaha.

so that concludes everything i tried to tell you about cagayan the oro, minus the boring parts. hahaha. so stay tune next time guys! bye.. :D

super typhoon, super whaattt?

this is my first ever movie review. i will focus on the movie, not what happened after, during, or before the movie. :D

this is a movie review. im not afraid to say what i want to say. i am also a very harsh critic, bwahahhaa. beware

super typhoon... well, as the title suggests, its a movie about a typhoon. you may have watched the movie advertisement in the newspapers but if you look closely, there's no credits. you dont know who stars in this film. before watching the movie, i already thought that this was an LBM. low-budget movie. and i was right.

it was a very corny movie. we have enough movies with the same sense or topic. but unlike it's fabulous counterparts, day after tomorrow and the like, this movie is totally shitty..

i paid 70 pesos for my ticket and what a waste. during the movie when the wave hits the shore, you can clearly say that the buildings are toys. that is so primitive. i wish i hadnt see this movie. well, the story is really stupid.

reasons why this movie eats shit like all you hobo's who liked this movie..

• it is in chinese! the actors are chinese
• wrong grammar subtitles.
• no sense at all
• poor special effects
• no main problem
• does not focus on anything

reasons why you should not watch this

• its in fuckin chinese
• movie sucks
• lighting sucks
• storyline sucks
• everything sucks
  

and here are some reasons that you should watch this movie

• if you have other agendas
• if you have too much time on your hands
• if you have time to waste
• if you dont know any good movies
• if you have no choice

otherwise, please stay away from this movie. you will save time, money, effort, blood, sweat and tears. i am writing this so that you will be spared from the insanity of this film for i had the utmost misfortune to watch this movie. :D

sleepover :D

tomorrow, i would have my very first, formal, official sleepover. lol, i think so... the last tym i went to a sleepover was after the g-league competition. i was invited by my friend and so i obliged. i had no clothes with me so i went there, slept there, ate there, and went home with just the same clothes as i wore the day before that. :D

i am supeeeeeeeeeeeer excited! hahaha. i dont know what to do, especially that im gonna sleep at a girls house, accompanied with 3 girls and 0 boy/s ... i am getting nervous by the minute. i cant act naturally in front of girls. i can be a pig when im with boys, but never with girls.

3 girls in one night? how lucky can you get?

now, i know what youre thinking.. no, i am not that lucky bastard that youre all thinking. theyre my best friends. and we are gonna have so much fun gossiping, playing games, etc. hahaha.

ohh, i just cant wait for tomorrow! i wish God would hurry up and tomorrow would be today. hahaha. i just wish that when i pack my bags, i wont forget anything. ESPECIALLy my underwear. hahahaha. il keep you posted on what i did on the sleepover :D

Dining with the stars

the day before yesterday, we went to marco hotel to celebrate a certain birthday party. we, including a number of family friends, would stay there overnight. it was okay though, not really that boring.

i had no one to interact with, for all the other kids were younger than i am. and so, they went swimming. i am a swimmer, and almost everyday i get to swim. i have grown tired of water. so naturally, i didnt swim. for i already had enough swimming to last a lifetime.

so while the children were swimming and the adults were drinking, talking and laughing their hearts out, i didnt involve myself in such dire activities. i sought peace in a secluded corner and played computer til i couldnt play anymore.

after playing, i watched the television. it was now late so the children were playing rather than swimming. but the adults didnt cease their rhapsody of fun, so i continued watching the television with occasional disturbances.

after being bored by the shows in the tv, i grabbed a couple of dvds and watched in a computer. it was nearly 3 in the morning so i decided to sleep, though the others didnt share my liking for a warm, cozy bed. instead they continued their pursuits of whatever that made them happy.

i woke up considerably early, 8am sharp. the fun had somewhat subsided and everyone was exhausted, perhaps because of lack of sleep and rest. everyone, that is, except for me. so we went down to the restaurant for our breakfast and we werent the only ones there, of course. there was one family halfway into their breakfast and a group of young men, probably mid-20's, in another table. we sat in the table next to them. at the end of the food table, their was a chef wherein you could ask im to cook your eggs, lol. hahaha. and i was behind this guy who was with the young men, he noticed me and let me cut in line in front of him. naturally, i agreed.

after eating my exquisitely delicious breakfast, i glanced in the next table to get a good look of the young men. they obviously just woke up; their eyes baggy, hair messy and ruffled, they look like they were sleep walking. but there was something strange about them. they look familiar but i just couldnt tell who they were. so they left and asked the waiter.

nothing could have prepared me to what i was going to hear...

Hale and kamikazee. its a wonder why you didnt asked for their autograph, you dont know them! hahaha

do mine ears deceive me? i wasnt quite sure what i have just heard. the men who were sitting near us were from famous rock bands. sweet mother of god. we took pictures on our table and stuff but all of us didnt notice two of the most famoust rock bands in the philippines dined near us. lol, it was quite an achievement. then the commotion started. the entire dining hall was talking. talking of what just happened, of who just ate there, of who they utterly and boldly ignored. i wasnt a fan of them though, i just felt stupid that i lost an opportunity like this one. it was within my reach, and still i lost it.

i wouldnt ask for their autographs, lol. if they would ask me to name just one song of theirs, i wouldnt be able to give an asnwer :D

my dramatic awakening

it was night, and i was getting drowsy; yet i wasnt ready to sleep. or should i say, i dont want to go to sleep.

i was watchin television. i was only watching one channel for i had no other choice, my god-forsaken television only acquires one channel and that is GMA. i really had no other choice. if i did have a choice, i wouldnt care less watching GMA over and over again every night for the rest of my god-forsaken television's life.

i decided to turn the lights off and lie down while watchin the tv. it was very boring for i had no one to text to, only waiting for the moment when i would soccumb to drowsiness.

it was a little past midnight and i was having trouble keeping my eyes open..

i was keeping an effort of opening my eyes. i forced myself to accept the ridiculously impossible; that GMA was a very worthwhile show. i screwed up my eyes just to watch a joke on GMA's bubble gang. next thing i knew, the sandman had gone by and i thought no more.. wandering through the train of thought until i had enough sense to get up the next day.

after that, i heard something very peculiar. i heard a familiar song and i knew that it only had started. so i woke up but remained firmly on my backside.

i recognized that song, but it took my snoozing brain a moment or too before i knew the title of that song.

"...perlas ng silanganan.."

wait.. WHAAAT? am i having some hearing disorder? coz i swore i heard---

"...sa dibdib moy buhayy..."

are you kidding me? how corny is this? waking up in the crack of dawn hearing my nation's national anthem. this is some scene, i never expected waking up so early in the morning hearing our national anthem.

but there did it come from?

i recoiled and noticed that my god-forsaken television was on. oh, i forgot to turn it off last night. GMA was starting and i glanced up at my clock, it was still 4 in the morning. so i went back to sleep, thinking that i should write a post about this. lol, hahaha.

and so starts another boring summer day with nothing to do but the usual; net, text, eat, net, text and eat.

another day has gone by, another day closer to the sleepover! :D:D:D

my tekken life :D

it all started when i was in 2nd year high school.

before i was into tekken, i was into another fighting game called Soul Calibur 2. i was addicted to that game because all of my closest circle of friends were playing that one. although i played together with them, i was nevertheless the underdog of the group. we were the ones who always played on that machine. but everything changed when i was bumped in the back while playing SC2. i wheeled around to find the person, but he was apparently busy playing another game.

and that game was tekken 5.

it was like my life was paused. i offered my sc2 game to my friend, which he happily agreed to play, and watched tekken.

tekken...

that name was familiar.. yes, tekken. i remember now. i played that game a very long time ago. it was then called tekken tag. a very old game indeed. so i took out my token and began to play. when my hand touched the controls, it was like having a new life.

and i knew that that game changed my life forever...

i choosed my favorite character, which was law, and started to play. last time i remember, i played in ps2 and used a technique very familiar to most players. that classic technique is called BUTTON SMASHING. a very easy to learn technique and very easy to accomplish. next thing i knew, i lost.

well, no surprises there. i played for years.

and so i took out another token and played again. this time, i wanted to choose eddy.. my 2nd favorite character. but then he wasnt there. so i choosed a character who is VERY unfamiliar to me.

her name was christie.

she had the same fighting style as eddy. which was called capoeira, a fighting style that looks like dancing. so i started playing again and i lost again. after that, i vowed that i would learn how to play tekken.

when i went home, i researched everything about tekken and combos. i was introduced with a concept of the game called JUGGLING.

juggling is the act where you put your opponent in the air and hammer your way through.

lol. so i was amazed about it. i started to learn how to block, which was ridiculously easy, and learned my very first juggle combo.

df+3+4, 1,2,4~4

the combo was very noob friendly but has a very small damage. but it was a good start. i paved my road to tekken supremacy. i kept coming back to the internet to feed my craving for tekken knowledge. and at just about 5 months playing the game, i became relatively good.

soon, my friends started playing the game. naturally, i was better than them. and so they kept asking me to teach them.

and then it HIT me. why not learn ALL the character's? it would really help me. but before i finally decided to learn other characters, i reached my gaming career playing christie.

it was in fun time, everyone kept challenging me and i kept on winning. there were really close fights but i always manage to scrape a close win. i noticed that i had been playing for a very long time and when i checked my wins, i was shocked.

i had 20 wins with only 1 token. how cool is that?

i was very ecstatic to know what i just did, and what i just accomplished. i told my friends and they were also happy. and soon the word had spread.

there were a lot of people gathering around the tekken machine, craning their necks just to see for themselves the wonder i made. they kept watching and i grew nervous. i was afraid i would fail while they were watching me.

and so i did.

i was defeated by a really good person. the final score was 3-1.. it was not a dissapointment though, for i had reached 25 wins and gained 2nd place. i tied 1st place with 25 wins but i was only the second person to achieve 25 wins. 1 more win and i would become 1st in that gaming machine.

after that, i gained power, fame and bragging rights. although i knew that the time has come when i had to learn other characters.

it took me about a month learning how to play half of the characters. but when i got my psp, i polished my skills and learned all of the characters in less than a month. and after more than a year of playing the game which i loved the most, i have become what i am today, what i had dreamed not more than a year ago. although i have become a considerably good player, i have still much to learn.

and now whenever i play, i would always be watched by my "fans". either they had been fans for a long time, or they had been a fan for only 5 minutes, it doesnt matter. i grew confidence and kept winning battle after battle.

the best thing of having fans is that you alaways get free tokens. hahaha. and you are beig cheered on. i love my fans. i love tekken. i will always play tekken. :D

wednesday the 13th

ohh noes! it's... it's.. no, i dare not say it.. but i must. it's...

WEDNESDAY THE 13TH!!!

tan tan tan.. hahaha. lol, you thought it was friday the 13th? hahaha. so, i decided that im gonna make a post about this day because this day was super special to me. :D

it all started when i woke up.. (again)

i woke up early that day. i texted my friends, kath and pauline, but they didnt reply. i think they're still sleeping. so i abandoned all pretense of fixing my bed and went down stairs a little hurriedly; as though afraid of being attacked by pillows and blankets. i went to find, to my surprise, my parents ans sis werent there. it was already 8:00 am. so i ate my breakfast in total solitude while watching the tv.

after that, i went upstairs to find out something very shocking...

i forgot to ask my mom for money. i only have a few pesos left in me, so i musnt spend a lot in my day out. i texted my friends again and only pauline replied. she told me that she cant go with me to school without her parents knowing. so we decided we could meet in lim ket kai mall. heart of the city, limket kai center.. lalalala :D

so after taking a bath, changing my clothes, brushing my teeth and inspecting myself in the mirror, i took off to school to get my report card.

report card?? but you should have gotten your report card a--

yeah, i know. a MONTH ago. the schedule for getting our report cards was on april 15 but i was too damn lazy and tired to get it, i had more important matters to attend to. :D and well, i was better off getting my report card late rather than on time because i absolutely had no competition whatsoever. so when i went to get my card, all was smooth sailin for me.

except for the results though. :D

ehem,. after that i stumbled upon some classmates of mine who automatically attacked me for not inviting them to my birthday. lol, i was utterly bemused that, although i am unimportant to them, they were still able to remember my birthday. hahaha.

so after that, i rode a jeepney to gaerlan and rode another jeepney, finally, to limket kai. naturally, i proceeded upstairs to WOF (worlds of fun) to play tekken. i bought 2 tokens but used only 1. I won about 4 games then pauline called me that she was waiting at netopia. so i stopped playing immediately and abandoned my seat of grandeur at the tekken machine. it was a first time for me. i stopped playing on my own accord, not because i was defeated. so in other words, i was undefeated. lol. hahahaha.

so i went away and when i looked back, i saw by bemused opponent looking at me. hahaha. i was too good for him anyway. i won the first two rounds. so i went inside netopia to search for pauline, only to find out that she was standing OUTSIDE netopia. hahahaha. it was a wild goose chase! :D

and at that moment, kathleen arrived. weeee, the threesome became three. lol. we decided to take our lunch at mang inasal. but when we got there, we found out that the lights were off. cool, they were saving electicity. hahaha.

so we decided to eat at sunburst, a restaurant at rosario arcade infamous for it's PECULIAR chicken. (i'll write a review about that)

after that, we watched a movie entitled SUPER TYPHOON. lol, the movie was okay though, if it werent for the fact that it was in CHINESE. and the subtitles were in wrong grammar. only pauline and kathleen understood the movie. gaaahd, i really have to take chinese lessons. but the movie wasnt a total waste though. HAHAHA. wont say anything more here! :D

so after the god-forsaken movie, they told me that i was going to play tekken and they'll cheer for me. so when i went there, i saw this guy who was winning like crazy. lol, i met him and we were evenly matched. always a close fight. but knowing that pauline and kathleen were looking, the chances dropped to 60-40 in favor of my opponent.. i really get nervous when non-tekkeners watch me play. but then i wasnt able to play because there were many people in line and pauline was being fetched by german. no, hes not german. he ies german. pronounced as herman. hahaha. and so we went home and quite amazingly...

i left my report card and ID in pauline's bag. hahaha. il get it some other time nahh. :D

im so proud... :'D

well, as you can see. my blog has a new face. wait, wait.. i want to make it official and formal. :D

my ungainly trip yesterday

due to the meager information about the said topic on my last post, i have decided that I'll make a sub post. see if you can connect the two posts. :D

it all started when i woke up.

i woke up early that morning, even though i had little sleep. naturally, i laid still for a moment or two before i stood up. i turned off the fan and i had to kick my way through stuff in order to reach the door. good god, i really need to clean my room.

to no one's surprise, almost everyone was asleep except for me and the maids. i ate my breakfast in total solitude and i watched tv. after agreeing that the shows sucked, i took my bath. i was on the process of removing my clothes when i forgot my towel. so i went outside and got one. and then i was removing my clothes when i forgot my shampoo. it was on the downstairs bathroom. i dont use the downstairs bathroom because i dislike using the hot shower. and so i climbed the stairs again, despite the angry protest of my throbbing toe. which was afflicted with a painful disorder called an ingrown.

i was experiencing severe pain, but i ignored it. it cannot, and must not, get in my way of things. my affliction was nothing more than an obstacle of life. just an obstacle, and nothing more. an obstacle of which i must endure, rather than giving up and cutting off my own toe to stop my misery.

so after taking a bath, i searched for my god-forsaken toothbrush. and after 15 minutes, i finally found it. it was inside my swimming bag. i placed it their because i brushed my teeth after swimming the other day.

after spending 5 minutes expecting every tiny detail that must be inspected, i had agreed that i am ready to go. i bid my parents good bye and started to walk to the gate, where i will ride the jeepney to CAP, where i will ride a motorela to pelaez sports center. will i was riding the jeepney, i sat on an empty space beside two men. an old man, an a middle-aged man talking with his comrades.

the old man was harmless, although the same couldnt be said to the middle-aged man.

he called out "totoy" and his friends giggled. i ignored him. at first i didnt believe that he was actually talking to me because my name couldnt possibly be "totoy". and then he called out again. clearly audible, i wheeled around a little and i saw him smiling at me.

fuckin gay.. how i wish you're alone, and i can kick your sorry ass. i thought...


i was furious and enraged of being called "totoy", not to mention being called by someone who is a complete asshole and a stranger.. i resisted the urge to punch him across the face. he was accompanied with his two friends and i thought that it would worth the risk.

throwing one punch and receiving 3 punches back at me clearly wasnt worth it. i hated that moment. the next time i'll see him, il kick his and his friend's sorry ass. i had to endure 10 agonizing minutes before my stop came. i went out and called for a motorela.

while riding the motorela, i reflected on what just happend. i was pissed for the lack of action. my insubornity got the best of me. my summer was really boring and having a fight would change that. damn. but there's always a next time.

the fury that boiled up inside of me was still within me. but abated when i relayed my experience to my friends. i laughed along with them like there was nothing wrong. but then, there was never really anything wrong. lol.

the swim meet was very boring and decided that after taking our lunch at tapsi time, we would be going home. elel accompanied me to the jeep thing and rode the jeep. i went to sm, played a lot, met a few "friends" and went home.

OH HAPPY DAY :))

this was a semi boring day.. last night, i slept at 2 in the morning and i woke up having discovered that my eyes a lil red and i have dark shadows under my eyes.. talk about stress. T_T

i woke up at seven.. i closed my eyes and hoped that i would sleep for eternity. but i cannot and would not. i was no longer sleepy, but alive. and i have to go to sports center for a swimming competition. i ate breakfast alone because my parents are still asleep and so are my sis. after that i took a bath and spent 15 minutes looking for my god-forsaken toothbrush, which i found inside my swim bag. i bid my parents good bye and set-off into sports center hitherto.

i was riding the country's easiest form of public transportation, the jeepney. (i'l make a post about that, lol)

i continued my boring journey in total silence. i sat beside a middle-aged man and a very old man. it was uneventful, if it hadnt for the middle-aged man calling me names.

at first, i thought he was not calling me. i thought so because my name couldnt possibly be "totoy". and so i ignored him. but then his voice becomes louder and i saw him facing me. he was clearly trying to communicate with me.

again, i ignored him

i was furious and enraged of being called "totoy", not to mention being called by someone who is completely unknown to me. i resisted the urge to punch him across the face. he was accompanied with his two friends and i thought that it would worth the risk.

throwing one punch and receiving 3 punches clearly isnt worth it. so i had to endure another 10 agonizing minutes of jeers and catcalls. then my stop came and i went overboard. thank god.

so i watched the swim meet and met my old friends from different places. i was happy to see them though. it was clearly boring due to the fact that it wasnt my club who hosted the competition.

after having my lunch at tapsi time with my team mates, i went to sm, hoping i would meet my friends.

i did though, but not after 1 boring hour alone.

they were not really friends. only fans. you see, i am rather good at tekken and my "fans" are just awed about my skills. its sometimes annoying though, being called a tekken god. (im making another post bwt this)

i only spent 15 pesos worth of tokens, although i played a lot. my fans simply wont say no and offered offer me their tokens for more entertainment. and i simply obliged.

after a few hours i returned home and made this post. this will be a special day for me. in a few moments, she will be back. :D

OH HAPPY DAY! :))

venture into my room :D

this will be my first post with pix! hahaha.

WARNING: the following images contains something so sinister that i dont know what your reaction will be. lol

what you see here is my bedroom floor. as you can see, there's a variety of items that should not be there in the first place. my dirty clothes, books, papers, wrappers, magazines, food crumbs, mat (i "lost" my chair so i sit here).















in this picture, you can see my table. and my shelves. my collection, knives, cars, ferrari, a small clock, more knives, diploma, telescope, wires, papers, necessities, straps, radio/digi clock, an award for essay writing and i think thats it.














another part of the floor. you can see that there are mats and pillows and stuff. i usually standby here coz my bed is
upstairs.. lol, you'll see. hahaha. there's a piglet. thats not mine, tis my sister's. there's some papers and books, rubber tube, bag, shin guards(lol, why is that there?) and mat. hehehe.













in this, another shelf. you can see(i dont know, can you?) a backscratcher lol, badminton bag, wires, another award, papers, swimming ID, envelope, cd's, ohh, and a soccer ball.
















so, here's my bead. it's called a loft bed. a 2-storey thing. underneath that is my desk, and above is my bed. here you'll see a dreamcatcher, towel, pillows. lots and lots of pillows, my god-forsaken tv. (only has gma.) medals, (one of the medals i have was for CLEANLINESS.) my milo marathon number, drawer, books, etc.

this is my desk under my bed. there's a pictureless frame, BIBLE, box, books, calendar, Egyptian poster, Egyptian lamp, and a papyrus painting, and some other stuff. hopefully by Christmas, you'll see a new addition of things there. my very own computer, hahaha

this is my favorite things corner. my egyptian poster, egyptian lamp, egyptian papyrus painting, some things, books. and pauline's picture. i just placed is there for effect, although her picture resides in my wallet. hahaha

this is the "collection's corner. my knife collection, cars, ferrari, some other collectibles. and i think thats it though.

now you have parts of my room. now that you saw my small room, i think an explanation is in order. hahaha. since it's summer, i have that laziness flu that makes me lazy. lol. it is a little messy. but rest assured, by maybe next week, i will clean my room and MAYBE il make a post about that. hahaha. this is the longest post that i have been working on. i just hope it was worth it though. i had to cope with pictures with mismatched descriptions, duplicated pictures and descriptions, finding the right pictures, thinking of stuff to write, etc. hehehe. so, till here. il make MORE posts soon. dont worry, i will have enough posts to last a LIFETIME. :)
