I need a new hobby or something...

Now Playing: To Me - Rainbow

So I just got through with an untimely acoustic gig that was called in a little too short noticed.  Now I'm thinking of doing some stuff for the weekend either as a reward for a long tiresome weekend or something to keep me preoccupied.  I have a lot of stuff to finish anyway and what better time to do them but during the weekends.

So I'm kinda debating on what to do this weekend.

To 28! And to things I need to accomplish before I hit 30!

Now Playing: Jet Coaster Love - KARA

So blog, we meet again…

My last entry was, ages ago (a year actually).  So now I post an untimely update…  Although this one is a bit well timed as today is somewhat special.  Why?  Because I will be posting two-years-worth of things that I need to accomplish before I hit 30!

So yeah, today, I just turned 28.  And as much as I have the uncanny knack to be unreasonable and self-righteously hard-headed, I will leave all of those because an article on cracked gave 5 reasons life is better after age 30.  And that inspired me to concoct a bucket list of things I need to achieve before I hit 30.  And I have 2 years to do all of them!

This list may come a little short and can be achieved in a matter of days, but my innate lack of initiative and low self-esteem guarantees that these items be ignored faster than they could be written down.  So for posterity’s sake, I will list the first few ones that I can think of which I could say, provide the most returns for the effort.

Another "Happy Birthday Mom =]" Entry

Now Playing: (Nothing)

Its kind of nice to not have anything in mind after a few weeks of being stressed mentally because of work and life in general.  Though I know I still have it better compared to some...  Poor unfortunate souls.  But that's for a different entry.  LOL!

For now, since I'll be busy despite today being a weekend, this here post's for my late mom.  And I'll make sure to raise her a candle before the day ends.  =]

There are just days when I just wish you're still with us Maw...  At least we get a lot of lulz despite days being shitty as hell...

I'll just laugh this one out -- For now...

Now Playing: New Perspective - Panic! At the Disco

When irony spells itself right in front of you?  What do you do?

I just got back from doing field work and of course the day wouldn't be complete without some news.  Well...  Not really news but information.  Which of course will be defined or identified in a matter of...  Who knows?  Months?  Weeks?  Or even just days.

When I was still a kid -- How I got into music

Now Playing: This Too Shall Pass - OK Go!

The first ever guitar that I picked up to learn and play music was an Ibanez Roadstar II.  A 1980's model that my dad kept on playing in their gigs.  You could say it was what inspired me to follow my dad's footsteps.  And because of that, we had some father-and-son arguments about my and his guitar playing style.

As I grew up I developed a liking towards the lower registers and picked up a bass.  We never had arguments about music ever since.  Well...  Let's just say we don't argue that much anymore.  LOL!

Just been a long month

Now Playing: (Nothing)

So I've been away...  I have a lot of tell tales to share but I don't think I'm in my right mind to discuss it.  (And since when have I even been on my right mind?)

And as I try to think of what I'm supposed to post here...  Those thoughts are still running around my brain.  Seriously...  I could use that whole "Nothing Box" concept but its just not working today.  I must have stacked it somewhere behind one of those other boxes...  I'm just not sure which one.  =..=

Although I have been posting updates on my twitter and plurk (and tumblr occasionally).  What runs in my mind don't even amount to any of those nonsense.  (But you may count that I'm still thinking and spewing nonsense at this rate.)

Oh and yeah, if you count the dots in this entry...  Including the dots in the "i"s, "j"s, punctuations (and ellipses)... (Are those what you actually call it?) You'll find 93 dots.  (Not to mention it has 1165 characters including the title, spaces and the "Now Playing" watchamacallit...)

So if you're up to it, go count it and make me happy for letting me mess with your brain.  =]

Yep I can be a dick too -- But I know when to restrain myself

Now Playing: (Nothing)

So here I am again camping in the office...  Yes...  I would've ranted saying "Fuck you Typhoon Ondoy!", but I might regret cursing Mother Nature.  Afterall, I have a feeling that she's been smoking some really powerful shit these days that even the simplest fart from her ends up in catastrophic proportions.

Anyway, this entry was made because of an inquiry Euri made on Twitter. And after I responded to her, I nonchalantly checked on plurk to (maybe) check on previous replies or reply to posts I find interesting.  I ended up reading a shared link posted there by Morrigan which reads "Dick Gordon. He deserves that name."

And yep, I read the entire post and some comments on that Facebook note.

As posted in verbatim...

What is the right question?

Now Playing: XYZ - HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR

The week has been heavy. And so have the previous weeks. Its only now that I realized I haven't freaking blogged. So now I write this entry. =..=

I've been posting the same question on Plurk since Wednesday. I meant it to be rhetorical but people thought of it as a karma booting plot. LOL! Unfortunately, it didn't serve that purpose. So I guess this entry should at least be able to explain why I've been asking such a nonsensical question. As it was sparked by a lot of events and so have people's reaction to those events followed.

Its only normal that people react after catching news or hearing something they're not prepared to hear. Well how the heck can you call it news if you expected it? =..=

Screw Disorientation -- A change of pace

Now Playing: (Nothing)

As the title suggests... Screw disorientation. Since I can't blog during the evenings. Might as well blog first thing in the morning right? No objections. This is not a topic for discussion.

Anyway... I've been lurking the interwebs and have been watching a lot of random and fan made vocaloid produced music and videos. Particularly, Japanese music. This last one so far had me playing it over and over.

The song is entitled "Palette".

I'm pretty lost for words right now so I'll let the video speak for itself.

Allow me to celebrate -- This is still my interweb space

Now Playing: (There's a reason why I don't have anything here)

Finally an August entry! Much has happened during this month that has kept me away and at bay from posting an entry. Whoa! I typed in something that rhymes! LOL

Anyways, this is a rather late entry with regards to the buzz that's been out since Thursday last week. News has been out and ArenaNet has finally released an update to their much awaited follow up to their Guild Wars franchise.

Enter Guild Wars 2 - In the Shadows of Dragons!!!




Website: Guild Wars 2
Video: ArenaNet's YouTube Channel

I'm still speechless because of this and I'm just blogging about it. LOL! And yep, this definitely calls for a celebration! Now where did I put my GW installers again? ''O|¯|_

This is just me being a geek. And you'll probably get more of this from me when I rummage through my screenshots archive just to post GW geekery.

End post.

Dealing with -- A short rant

Now Playing: BLUE TRAIN - ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

Okay, I guess all that's left for me to do is to post a rant because I don't have any other entry for July. And to think I was able to make 5 entries for June... Gawd. =..=

Anyway, as the title suggests. "Dealing with". And I currently am just dealing with...

With what? Here's a list.

7.17.2009

It always rains at this day of the year -- And today it rained weird

Now Playing: Sunshower - Chris Cornell

Seldom have I seen an 18th of July that's actually dry... ¬_¬

Was what I've put as today's status message on my messengers. Its funny 'coz it rhymes a little. It just came to mind as I was hauling a couple of tupperwares of macaroni salad and a tray of barbecue to work from Batangas. For what reason? Let's just say the date has something to do with the food. =..=

6.30.2009

My recent near death experience -- Yeah I almost died biches!!!

Now Playing: Don't say "lazy" - Sakurakou K-ON Bu

This should have been posted last Friday if only I didn't fall asleep on my station in the office... Late night reports... Enough of that! =..=

As the title suggests, I'm supposed to rant about almost dying the other day. Specifically last Friday. So let me start...

Like any other day, I usually take the MRT to and from work. And riding the train on a daily basis can sometimes be both enjoyable or disgusting depending on the circumstances.

So this last one I'd just had to share because it was full of FAIL in EPIC proportions.

Interruption -- Another messed up chat log

Now Playing: Pastime Paradise (Live) - Stevie Wonder

I was supposed to post an account of last weekend's events but suddenly... Another messed up IM. ''O|¯|_

I unsuspectingly added this user to my Y!M list thinking it was a guildmate. Since there was a thread in our forums where we can leave our messengers so we can all add each other up for timely conference chats or what nots. And there were several others already who've added me already because of that thread.

Anyway, so I did add this one up. And to my surprise, it wasn't someone I know. =..=

Injustice -- Three things that make a good find not worth it

Now Playing: Spill the Dope - MASAKI

This is going to be an untimely rant post but who cares right?

Entertainment. Its what keeps us entertained. I'm a genius I know. Sue me. =..=

Anyway, I get my fill through the interweb more than any local media available.

Besides the fact that I spend around 15 hours a day in front of a PC connected to high speed internet because of my nature of work, entertainment for people like me is just a few clicks or keyboard strokes away. (That's another way of spelling YouTube by the way)

There are also those rare occasions when I get to sit down in front of the old tube at home and just watch whatever is available on screen. And sure enough, one time or another, both medium will reach a median. (Okay that was kind of redundant =..=)

Happy Birthday Mom =]

Now Playing: (Nothing)

Saw this video on YouTube a few weeks back. I don't remember how I chanced upon it and it took me a while before I tracked it again.

It was dedicated to one of their guildmate in WoW. Its a good short to watch. Although I can't say my mom could have been able to relate if she watched this. But like the people who made this video, I know how it feels to miss a loved one.

Happy Birthday Mom. You know we miss you. And don't worry about us. We're still holding up. =]

When you thought it was over -- Another messed up chat log

Now Playing: ZEN ZEN - MASAKI

So last night I said something about hoping that I don't post any more messed up chat logs. Unfortunately... Another one popped up. ''O|¯|_

And immediately after this entry too. =..=

And guess who it came from:


And yep... You read that right. This one's a lot more messed up compared to last night. LOL! XD

6.03.2009

Messed up chat logs -- Lolicons sound better than Pedophiles

Now Playing: Boys and Girls - Good Charlotte

So the title suggests that this entry should have a chat log somewhere... LOL!

Well actually just some screens of a chat log between me and a friend since playing Ragnarok Online.

There are just some times when one of us drops an IM to eachother commenting about one's status message or IM avatar.

This recent one was because of me using pictures of girls (who are sometimes girl friends or some random Asian celebrity) and a particular status message which said,

"Hataraki - Make me smile and I'll be yours for a day. Make me laugh and you'll never tell another joke in your lifetime."

Useless info: Hataraki is actually a Japanese word that means working or at work.

And so the chat log goes like this:

e-COW-nomics -- Econimics made simple with Cows

Now Playing: Pink White Blue - Mayonnaise

A friend in the office has been hooked to StumbleUpon and stumbles on a lot of things. One of them is this article about Cows and Economics. I just thought it was funny as hell so I'm sharing it here. LOL!

The Bet -- Because hating the rest of the year starts with a haircut

Now Playing: Burnout - Sugarfree

WTF are we doing here again?

So here's where I tell the tale of how I lost my hair and state how much I will hate the rest of the year... Not that it makes me feel any different. The fact is I'd still probably hate the rest of the year regardless if I did get a haircut or not. So picking up from when I left of here. Allow me to post images and provide details of why I took on this so called "bet".

So let's start with some basic details to why this "bet" came to start in the first place. Like what made me grow my hair longer than usual?
